Description

偏光板之套組及液晶面板 Polarizing plate set and LCD panel

本發明係有關偏光板之套組及液晶面板。 The present invention relates to a set of polarizing plates and a liquid crystal panel.

液晶顯示裝置具有電力消耗低、以低電壓動作、輕量且薄型等特徵,可使用於各種的顯示用元件。構成液晶顯示裝置的液晶面板係具有一對偏光板積層在液晶單元的兩面之構成。 Liquid crystal display devices have the characteristics of low power consumption, low voltage operation, light weight and thinness, and can be used in various display components. The liquid crystal panel that constitutes the liquid crystal display device has a pair of polarizing plates stacked on both sides of the liquid crystal unit.

日本特開2013-37115號公報(參考文獻1)中提出的方式,係使光學積層物前面側所含之偏光膜,較配置在與前面側的相反面之光學積層物中含有的偏光膜更厚5μm以上,並且使配置在與前面側為相反側之光學積層物中含有的偏光膜與反射偏光膜積層,而防止高溫環境下液晶面板之翹曲。此等方式,在使用厚度大的(例如0.5mm以上,再者0.7mm以上)液晶單元、厚度大的(例如50μm以上)反射偏光膜時可發揮效果。不過,如今構成偏光板的各構件除了變得越來越薄、剛度變弱,對於薄質液晶單元而言要防止高溫環境下的液晶面板之翹曲是不夠充分的。 The method proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-37115 (reference document 1) is to make the polarizing film contained in the front side of the optical laminate thicker than the polarizing film contained in the optical laminate arranged on the opposite side of the front side by more than 5 μm, and to make the polarizing film contained in the optical laminate arranged on the opposite side of the front side and the reflective polarizing film laminated to prevent the warping of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment. Such methods can be effective when using a thick liquid crystal unit (for example, more than 0.5 mm, more than 0.7 mm) and a thick reflective polarizing film (for example, more than 50 μm). However, the components that make up the polarizer are becoming thinner and weaker, and the thin liquid crystal unit is not sufficient to prevent the warping of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment.

一邊適宜地參照圖,一邊說明本發明的偏光板之套組及液晶面板。本發明的偏光板之套組係具有配 置在液晶單元的觀察側之前面側偏光板與配置在液晶單元的背面側之背面側偏光板。 The polarizing plate set and liquid crystal panel of the present invention are described while appropriately referring to the figures. The polarizing plate set of the present invention comprises a front side polarizing plate arranged on the observation side of the liquid crystal unit and a back side polarizing plate arranged on the back side of the liquid crystal unit.

一實施形態中,本發明的偏光板是具有第1圖表示的構件。第1圖(a)表示的偏光板之套組,係具有前面側偏光板100與背面側偏光板200。前面側偏光板100係在偏光片2的一面透過接著劑層30而積層保護膜10,在偏光片2的另一面積層活性能量線硬化型接著劑的硬化層1。並且在前述硬化層1上積層黏著劑層20。 In one embodiment, the polarizing plate of the present invention is a component shown in FIG. 1. The polarizing plate set shown in FIG. 1 (a) has a front polarizing plate 100 and a back polarizing plate 200. The front polarizing plate 100 is formed by laminating a protective film 10 on one side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive layer 30, and laminating a hardening layer 1 of an active energy ray hardening adhesive on the other side of the polarizer 2. An adhesive layer 20 is laminated on the aforementioned hardening layer 1.

背面側偏光板200係在偏光片2的一面透過接著劑層31而積層保護膜11,並在保護膜11上透過黏著劑層21而積層亮度改善膜40。並且在前述偏光片2的另一面積層黏著劑層20。 The back side polarizing plate 200 is formed by laminating a protective film 11 on one side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive layer 31, and laminating a brightness improvement film 40 on the protective film 11 through an adhesive layer 21. An adhesive layer 20 is also laminated on the other side of the aforementioned polarizer 2.

又,第1圖(b)表示的偏光板之套組係具有前面側偏光板101與背面側偏光板201。前面側偏光板101係在偏光片2的一面透過接著劑層30而積層保護膜10,在偏光片2的另一面積層活性能量線硬化型接著劑的硬化層1。並且在前述硬化層1上積層黏著劑層20。 In addition, the polarizing plate set shown in FIG. 1 (b) has a front polarizing plate 101 and a back polarizing plate 201. The front polarizing plate 101 is formed by laminating a protective film 10 on one side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive layer 30, and laminating a curing layer 1 of an active energy ray curing adhesive on the other side of the polarizer 2. An adhesive layer 20 is laminated on the aforementioned curing layer 1.

背面側偏光板201係在偏光片2的一面透過接著劑層31而積層保護膜11,在偏光片2的另一面透過黏著劑層21而積層亮度改善膜40。並且在前述保護膜11上積層黏著劑層20。 The back side polarizing plate 201 is formed by laminating a protective film 11 on one side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive layer 31, and laminating a brightness improvement film 40 on the other side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive layer 21. An adhesive layer 20 is also laminated on the protective film 11.

第1圖表示的偏光板之套組中,黏著劑層20例如也可以是在液晶單元積層偏光板用之黏著劑層。 In the polarizing plate set shown in FIG. 1, the adhesive layer 20 may be, for example, an adhesive layer for a liquid crystal unit laminated polarizing plate.

本發明的偏光板之套組中,前面側偏光板、 背面側偏光板是以僅在偏光片的一面具備保護膜為佳。 In the polarizing plate set of the present invention, the front polarizing plate and the back polarizing plate are preferably provided with a protective film only on one side of the polarizing plate.

本發明的偏光板之套組中,前面側偏光板及背面側偏光板的形狀並無特別的限制,也可以是矩形。偏光板的形狀為矩形時,前面側偏光板的吸收軸以平行於短邊為佳,背面側偏光板的吸收軸以平行於長邊為佳。 In the polarizing plate set of the present invention, the shapes of the front polarizing plate and the back polarizing plate are not particularly limited and can also be rectangular. When the shape of the polarizing plate is rectangular, the absorption axis of the front polarizing plate is preferably parallel to the short side, and the absorption axis of the back polarizing plate is preferably parallel to the long side.

本發明的偏光板之套組中,在將具備前面側偏光板與背面側偏光板的積層體加熱時,將於85℃的該偏光板之穿透軸方向的拉伸彈性率及於85℃的該偏光板之吸收軸方向的拉伸彈性率分別設為Et、Ea時,具有翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板所具有之保護膜,係滿足下述(1)。拉伸彈性率可藉由後述的實施例所述之方法測定。 In the polarizing plate set of the present invention, when a laminate having a front polarizing plate and a back polarizing plate is heated, the tensile elasticity of the polarizing plate in the transmission axis direction at 85°C and the tensile elasticity of the polarizing plate in the absorption axis direction at 85°C are set to Et and Ea respectively, and the protective film of the polarizing plate having a side curved into a concave shape satisfies the following (1). The tensile elasticity can be measured by the method described in the embodiment described later.

Et/Ea≧1.1 (1) Et/Ea≧1.1 (1)

Et/Ea是以1.15以上更佳,並以1.20以上又更佳。Et/Ea也可以是2.8以下。 Et/Ea is preferably 1.15 or more, and even more preferably 1.20 or more. Et/Ea may also be 2.8 or less.

積層體的邊緣朝前面側偏光板側翹曲時,翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板是前面側偏光板,積層體的邊緣朝背面側偏光板側翹曲時,翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板是背面側偏光板。具體上可參照第3圖加以說明。第3圖係表示將前面側偏光板400及背面側偏光板401分別黏合在玻璃板70而得的積層體經加熱處理之後的示意剖面。第3圖(a)中,翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板係指背面側偏光板401,第3圖(b)中,翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板係指前面側偏光板400。翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板可以是前面側偏光板也可以是背面側偏光板。背面側偏光板由於除了已施予延伸處理 的偏光片之外,大多具備同樣已施予延伸處理的亮度改善膜,故使背面側偏光板的吸收軸方向成為長邊方向時,背面側偏光板加熱時的收縮力大多會大於前面側偏光板。 When the edge of the laminate is curved toward the front side polarizer, the side of the polarizer that is curved into a concave shape is the front side polarizer, and when the edge of the laminate is curved toward the back side polarizer, the side of the polarizer that is curved into a concave shape is the back side polarizer. For details, please refer to FIG. 3 for further explanation. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-section of a laminate obtained by bonding the front side polarizer 400 and the back side polarizer 401 to the glass plate 70 respectively, after heat treatment. In FIG. 3 (a), the side of the polarizing plate that is curved into a concave shape refers to the back side polarizing plate 401, and in FIG. 3 (b), the side of the polarizing plate that is curved into a concave shape refers to the front side polarizing plate 400. The side of the polarizing plate that is curved into a concave shape can be the front side polarizing plate or the back side polarizing plate. Since the back side polarizing plate has a brightness improvement film that has been stretched in addition to the polarizing plate that has been stretched, when the absorption axis direction of the back side polarizing plate is made the long side direction, the shrinkage force of the back side polarizing plate when heated is usually greater than that of the front side polarizing plate.

黏合在玻璃板時偏光板的形狀及玻璃板的形狀雖然無特別的限制,但以矩形為佳,此時可將前面側偏光板及背面側偏光板作成相同的大小。將偏光板黏合在玻璃板時,前面側偏光板的吸收軸與背面側偏光板的吸收軸是以呈正交方式黏合。此時,偏光板為矩形時,前面側偏光板的吸收軸係以平行於短邊為佳,背面側偏光板的吸收軸係以平行於長邊為佳。 When the polarizing plate is bonded to the glass plate, the shape of the polarizing plate and the shape of the glass plate are not particularly limited, but a rectangular shape is preferred. In this case, the front polarizing plate and the back polarizing plate can be made the same size. When the polarizing plate is bonded to the glass plate, the absorption axis of the front polarizing plate and the absorption axis of the back polarizing plate are bonded in an orthogonal manner. In this case, when the polarizing plate is rectangular, the absorption axis of the front polarizing plate is preferably parallel to the short side, and the absorption axis of the back polarizing plate is preferably parallel to the long side.

玻璃板的厚度可作成例如100μm以上400μm以下。在此範圍的厚度時,容易判別前面側偏光板與背面側偏光板何者是翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板。 The thickness of the glass plate can be made, for example, from 100 μm to 400 μm. When the thickness is within this range, it is easy to distinguish which of the front polarizing plate and the back polarizing plate is the polarizing plate that is curved into a concave shape.

翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板也可在偏光片的兩面具有保護膜,此時是以至少一方的保護膜滿足式(1)為佳,並以積層在距離偏光片中的液晶單元較遠之側的保護膜滿足式(1)更佳,而以任一保護膜均滿足式(1)又更佳。 The polarizing plate with the curved concave side may also have protective films on both sides of the polarizing plate. In this case, it is preferred that at least one of the protective films satisfies formula (1), and it is more preferred that the protective film laminated on the side farther from the liquid crystal unit in the polarizing plate satisfies formula (1). It is even more preferred that any of the protective films satisfies formula (1).

在85℃的穿透軸方向之拉伸彈性率Et係以500MPa以上10,000MPa以下為佳,也可以是1,000MPa以上8,000MPa以下。在85℃的吸收軸方向之拉伸彈性率Ea係以500MPa以上10,000MPa以下為佳,也可以是1,000MPa以上8,000MPa以下。 The tensile modulus Et in the penetration axis direction at 85°C is preferably 500MPa to 10,000MPa, and can also be 1,000MPa to 8,000MPa. The tensile modulus Ea in the absorption axis direction at 85°C is preferably 500MPa to 10,000MPa, and can also be 1,000MPa to 8,000MPa.

說明構成本發明的偏光板之套組的各構件。 The components of the polarizing plate set of the present invention are described.

(偏光片) (Polarizer)

本發明中使用的偏光片通常是經過以下的步驟製得者:將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜單軸延伸的步驟、藉由二色性色素將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜染色使其吸附二色性色素的步驟、以硼酸水溶液處理已吸附二色性色素的聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜之步驟、及硼酸水溶液處理後的水洗步驟。 The polarizer used in the present invention is usually prepared through the following steps: a step of uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol resin film, a step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with a dichroic dye to adsorb the dichroic dye, a step of treating the polyvinyl alcohol resin film adsorbed with the dichroic dye with a boric acid aqueous solution, and a step of washing with water after the boric acid aqueous solution treatment.

聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜可使用將聚乙酸乙烯酯系樹脂皂化者。聚乙酸乙烯酯系樹脂除了乙酸乙烯酯的均聚物之聚乙酸乙烯酯以外,可舉出乙酸乙烯酯與可共聚合的其他單體之共聚合物等。可與乙酸乙烯酯共聚合的其他單體例如可列舉:不飽和羧酸類、烯烴類、乙烯醚類、不飽和磺酸類及具有銨基的丙烯醯胺類等。 Polyvinyl alcohol resin films can use saponified polyvinyl acetate resins. Polyvinyl acetate resins include copolymers of vinyl acetate and other copolymerizable monomers, in addition to polyvinyl acetate, which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate. Examples of other monomers that can be copolymerized with vinyl acetate include unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonic acids, and acrylamides having an ammonium group.

聚乙烯醇系樹脂的皂化度,通常是85至100莫耳%左右,並以98莫耳%以上為佳。此聚乙烯醇系樹脂也可改質,可使用:例如經醛類改質的聚乙烯甲醛或聚乙烯乙醛等。且聚乙烯醇系樹脂的聚合度通常是1,000至10,000左右,並以1,500至5,000左右為佳。 The saponification degree of polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually about 85 to 100 mol%, preferably 98 mol% or more. This polyvinyl alcohol resin can also be modified, such as polyvinyl formaldehyde or polyvinyl acetaldehyde modified with aldehydes. The polymerization degree of polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually about 1,000 to 10,000, preferably about 1,500 to 5,000.

將聚乙烯醇系樹脂製膜而得之物可使用作為偏光片的原料膜。將聚乙烯醇系樹脂製膜的方法可用已知的方法進行製膜。聚乙烯醇系原料膜的膜厚,在考量使所獲得的偏光片之厚度成為15μm以下時,係以5至35μm左右為佳,並以5至20μm者更佳。原料膜的膜厚為35μm以上時,必須提高製造偏光片時的延伸倍率,且有使所得的偏光片之尺寸收縮變大之傾向。 The film obtained by filming the polyvinyl alcohol resin can be used as a raw material film for a polarizer. The method of filming the polyvinyl alcohol resin can be carried out by a known method. The film thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol raw material film is preferably about 5 to 35 μm, and more preferably 5 to 20 μm, when considering that the thickness of the obtained polarizer is less than 15 μm. When the film thickness of the raw material film is more than 35 μm, the stretching ratio during the manufacture of the polarizer must be increased, and there is a tendency to shrink the size of the obtained polarizer.

另一方面,原料膜的膜厚為5μm以下時,有施加延伸時的處理性降低,於製造中容易發生切斷等問題之傾向。 On the other hand, when the thickness of the raw material film is less than 5μm, the handling properties during stretching are reduced, and problems such as cutting tend to occur during manufacturing.

聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜的單軸延伸可在二色性色素的染色前、與染色同時或染色之後進行。在染色之後進行單軸延伸時,此單軸延伸可在硼酸處理之前或硼酸處理中進行。又,也可在此等處理的數個階段進行單軸延伸。 The uniaxial stretching of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film can be performed before, during or after dyeing with the dichroic dye. When the uniaxial stretching is performed after dyeing, the uniaxial stretching can be performed before or during the boric acid treatment. In addition, the uniaxial stretching can be performed at several stages of the treatment.

單軸延伸時可在不同周速的輥間進行單軸延伸,也可使用熱輥進行單軸延伸。又,單軸延伸可以是在大氣中進行延伸的乾式延伸,也可以是使用溶劑使聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜在膨脹狀態進行延伸的濕式延伸。延伸倍率通常是3至8倍左右。 During uniaxial stretching, the film can be stretched between rollers of different circumferential speeds or using hot rollers. In addition, uniaxial stretching can be dry stretching in the atmosphere or wet stretching using a solvent to stretch the polyvinyl alcohol resin film in an expanded state. The stretching ratio is usually around 3 to 8 times.

以二色性色素將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜染色的方法可採用:例如將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜浸泡在含有二色性色素的水溶液中之方法。二色性色素具體上可使用碘或二色性染料。又,聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜係以在染色處理之前施予水中的浸泡處理為佳。 The method of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with a dichroic pigment can be adopted, for example, a method of immersing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film in an aqueous solution containing a dichroic pigment. Specifically, iodine or a dichroic dye can be used as the dichroic pigment. In addition, the polyvinyl alcohol resin film is preferably immersed in water before the dyeing treatment.

使用碘作為二色性色素時,通常可採用將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜浸泡在含有碘及碘化鉀的水溶液中而染色的方法。此水溶液中的碘之含量通常每100重量份的水係0.01至1重量份左右。又,通常每100重量份的水碘化鉀的含量係0.5至20重量份左右。染色中使用的水溶液之溫度通常是20至40℃左右。 When iodine is used as a dichroic pigment, a method of dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol resin film by immersing it in an aqueous solution containing iodine and potassium iodide is usually adopted. The iodine content in this aqueous solution is usually about 0.01 to 1 weight part per 100 weight parts of water. In addition, the potassium iodide content is usually about 0.5 to 20 weight parts per 100 weight parts of water. The temperature of the aqueous solution used for dyeing is usually about 20 to 40°C.

再者,浸泡在該水溶液的時間(染色時間)通常是20至1,800秒左右。 Furthermore, the soaking time in the aqueous solution (dyeing time) is usually around 20 to 1,800 seconds.

另一方面,使用二色性染料作為二色性色素時,通常可採用將聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜浸泡在含有水溶性二色性染料的水溶液中而染色的方法。該水溶液中的二色性染料之含量,通常每100重量份的水,係1×10-4至10重量份左右,並以1×10-3至1重量份左右為佳。該水溶液也可含有硫酸鈉等無機鹽作為染色助劑。染色中使用的二色性染料水溶液之溫度通常是20至80℃左右。又,在該水溶液的浸泡時間(染色時間)通常是10至1,800秒左右。 On the other hand, when using a dichroic dye as a dichroic pigment, a method of dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol resin film by immersing it in an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble dichroic dye can usually be adopted. The content of the dichroic dye in the aqueous solution is usually about 1× 10-4 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of water, and preferably about 1× 10-3 to 1 part by weight. The aqueous solution may also contain an inorganic salt such as sodium sulfate as a dyeing auxiliary. The temperature of the dichroic dye aqueous solution used in dyeing is usually about 20 to 80°C. In addition, the immersion time in the aqueous solution (dyeing time) is usually about 10 to 1,800 seconds.

經二色性色素染色後的硼酸處理通常可藉由將已染色的聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜浸泡在含有硼酸的水溶液中進行。 Boric acid treatment after dichroic dyeing can usually be performed by soaking the dyed polyvinyl alcohol resin film in an aqueous solution containing boric acid.

含有硼酸的水溶液中之硼酸的量,通常每100重量份的水,係2至15重量份左右,並以5至12重量份為佳。在使用碘作為二色性色素時,該含有硼酸的水溶液以含有碘化鉀為佳。含有硼酸的水溶液中碘化鉀之量,通常每100重量份的之水,係0.1至15重量份左右,並以5至12重量份為佳。浸泡在含有硼酸的水溶液之時間通常是60至1,200秒左右,並以150至600秒左右為佳,而以200至400秒左右更佳。含有硼酸的水溶液之溫度通常是50℃以上,並以50至85℃為佳,而以60至80℃更佳。 The amount of boric acid in the aqueous solution containing boric acid is usually about 2 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of water, preferably 5 to 12 parts by weight. When iodine is used as a dichroic pigment, the aqueous solution containing boric acid preferably contains potassium iodide. The amount of potassium iodide in the aqueous solution containing boric acid is usually about 0.1 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of water, preferably 5 to 12 parts by weight. The time of immersion in the aqueous solution containing boric acid is usually about 60 to 1,200 seconds, preferably about 150 to 600 seconds, and more preferably about 200 to 400 seconds. The temperature of the aqueous solution containing boric acid is usually above 50°C, preferably 50 to 85°C, and more preferably 60 to 80°C.

硼酸處理後的聚乙烯系樹脂膜通常進行水洗處理。水洗處理可藉由:例如將硼酸處理後的聚乙烯系樹脂膜浸泡在水中而進行。水洗處理中的水之溫度,通常是5至40℃左右。又,浸泡時間通常是1至120秒左右。 The polyethylene resin film after the boric acid treatment is usually subjected to a water washing treatment. The water washing treatment can be performed by, for example, immersing the polyethylene resin film after the boric acid treatment in water. The temperature of the water in the water washing treatment is usually about 5 to 40°C. In addition, the immersion time is usually about 1 to 120 seconds.

水洗後施予乾燥處理即得偏光片。乾燥處理可利用熱風乾燥機或遠紅外線加熱器進行。乾燥處理的溫度通常是30至100℃左右,並以50至80℃為佳。乾燥處理的時間通常是60至600秒左右,並以120至600秒為佳。 After washing, the polarizer is dried. The drying process can be performed using a hot air dryer or a far infrared heater. The drying temperature is usually around 30 to 100°C, preferably 50 to 80°C. The drying time is usually around 60 to 600 seconds, preferably 120 to 600 seconds.

經乾燥處理可使偏光片的水分率減少至實用程度。該水分率通常是5至20重量%,並以8至15重量%為佳。水分率低於5重量%時,有可能使偏光片失去可撓性,偏光片在其乾燥後受損傷、破裂。 The drying process can reduce the moisture content of the polarizer to a practical level. The moisture content is usually 5 to 20% by weight, and preferably 8 to 15% by weight. When the moisture content is lower than 5% by weight, the polarizer may lose its flexibility, and the polarizer may be damaged or cracked after drying.

又,水分率高於20重量%時,有可能使偏光片的熱安定性惡化。 In addition, when the moisture content is higher than 20% by weight, the thermal stability of the polarizer may deteriorate.

又,偏光片的製程中之聚乙烯醇系樹脂膜的延伸、染色、硼酸處理、水洗步驟、乾燥步驟,可依照:例如日本特開2012-159778號所述之方法進行。在該文獻所述之方法中,係藉由將聚乙烯醇系樹脂塗布在基材膜形成作為偏光片的聚乙烯醇系樹脂層。 In addition, the stretching, dyeing, boric acid treatment, water washing and drying steps of the polyvinyl alcohol resin film in the process of manufacturing the polarizer can be carried out according to, for example, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-159778. In the method described in the document, the polyvinyl alcohol resin layer as the polarizer is formed by coating the polyvinyl alcohol resin on the substrate film.

降低偏光片自體的收縮力亦對減少高溫環境下的翹曲有效,具備前面側偏光板及背面側偏光板的偏光片之厚度任一者均以15μm以下為佳,並以4至13μm更佳,而以5至10μm又更佳。 Reducing the shrinkage force of the polarizer itself is also effective in reducing warping in high temperature environments. The thickness of the polarizer with the front side polarizer and the back side polarizer is preferably less than 15μm, more preferably 4 to 13μm, and even more preferably 5 to 10μm.

前述前面側偏光板所具備的偏光片之厚度與前述背面側偏光板所具備的偏光片之厚度之差的大小係以5μm以下為佳,也可為3μm以下。翹曲成凹狀之側的偏光板之保護膜係滿足式(1)時,可藉由如上述將偏光片之厚 度差變小,而於高溫環境下對液晶面板之翹曲的影響變得更小。 The difference between the thickness of the polarizer provided by the front polarizer and the thickness of the polarizer provided by the back polarizer is preferably less than 5μm, and may be less than 3μm. When the protective film of the polarizer on the side that is warped into a concave shape satisfies formula (1), the difference in thickness of the polarizer can be reduced as described above, thereby reducing the effect of the warping of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment.

In particular, it is preferably made of a material with excellent transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture shielding, etc. The transparent resin film in this specification refers to a resin film with a single body transmittance of more than 80% in the visible light range.

在偏光片的兩面積層保護膜時,保護膜可使用互為相同者,也可使用互不相同者。又,前面側偏光板中的保護膜與背面側偏光板中的保護膜,可使用互為相同者,也可使用互不相同者。 When protective films are laminated on both sides of the polarizer, the protective films can be the same or different. Also, the protective film in the front polarizer and the protective film in the back polarizer can be the same or different.

In addition, solid phase polymerization may be performed as needed to increase the molecular weight or reduce the low molecular weight components.

環狀聚烯烴系樹脂例如係使如降冰片烯及其他的環戊二烯衍生物的環狀烯烴單體在觸媒的存在下聚合而得者。使用此種環狀聚烯烴系樹脂一事,因容易獲得具有後述的規定之延遲值的保護膜而佳。 Cyclic polyolefin resins are obtained by polymerizing cyclic olefin monomers such as norbornene and other cyclopentadiene derivatives in the presence of a catalyst. The use of such cyclic polyolefin resins is preferred because it is easy to obtain a protective film having a predetermined delay value described below.

環狀聚烯烴系樹脂例如可列舉:將由環戊二烯與烯烴類或(甲基)丙烯酸或其酯類經Diels-Alder反應而得之降冰片烯或其衍生物作為單體進行開環易位(metathesis)聚合,接著氫化而得的樹脂;將由二環戊二烯與烯烴類或(甲基)丙烯酸或其酯類經Diels-Alder反應而得之四環十二烯或其衍生物作為單體進行開環易位聚合,接著氫化而得的樹脂;將選自降冰片烯、四環十二烯、該等的衍生物及其他的環狀烯烴單體的至少2種單體同樣進行開環易位共聚合,接著氫化而得的樹脂;如降冰片烯、四環十二烯或該等的衍生物之環狀烯烴與鏈狀烯烴及/或具有乙烯基的芳香族化合物進行加成共聚合而得的樹脂等。 Examples of cyclic polyolefin resins include: a resin obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene or its derivatives obtained by Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with olefins or (meth) acrylic acid or its esters, followed by hydrogenation; a resin obtained by Diels-Alder reaction of dicyclopentadiene with olefins or (meth) acrylic acid or its esters, followed by hydrogenation; a resin obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of tetracyclododecene or tetracyclohexene obtained by Diels-Alder reaction of dicyclopentadiene with olefins or (meth) acrylic acid or its esters, followed by hydrogenation; A resin obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of its derivatives as monomers, followed by hydrogenation; a resin obtained by similarly ring-opening metathesis copolymerization of at least two monomers selected from norbornene, tetracyclododecene, their derivatives and other cyclic olefin monomers, followed by hydrogenation; a resin obtained by addition copolymerization of cyclic olefins such as norbornene, tetracyclododecene or their derivatives with chain olefins and/or aromatic compounds having a vinyl group, etc.

鏈狀聚烯烴系樹脂的典型例為聚乙烯系樹脂及聚丙烯系樹脂。其中並以丙烯的均聚物,或以丙烯作為主體並與可與其共聚合的共單體,例如乙烯,以1至20 重量%,較佳為3至10重量%的比例進行共聚合而得的共聚合物為適用。 Typical examples of chain polyolefin resins are polyethylene resins and polypropylene resins. Among them, a homopolymer of propylene, or a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing propylene as the main component with a comonomer that can be copolymerized with it, such as ethylene, at a ratio of 1 to 20% by weight, preferably 3 to 10% by weight, is suitable.

聚烯烴系樹脂也可含有脂環族飽和烴樹脂。藉由含有脂環族飽和烴樹脂,可使延遲值容易控制。脂環族飽和烴樹脂的含量係以相對於聚烯烴系樹脂成為0.1至30重量%為有利,較佳的含量是3至20重量%。如脂環族飽和烴樹脂的含量不到0.1重量%,則不能充分獲得控制延遲值的效果,另一方面如該含量超過30重量%,則有隨時間變化產生從保護膜滲出脂環族飽和烴樹脂之虞慮。 The polyolefin resin may also contain a cycloaliphatic saturated hydrocarbon resin. By containing a cycloaliphatic saturated hydrocarbon resin, the delay value can be easily controlled. The content of the cycloaliphatic saturated hydrocarbon resin is preferably 0.1 to 30% by weight relative to the polyolefin resin, and the preferred content is 3 to 20% by weight. If the content of the cycloaliphatic saturated hydrocarbon resin is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect of controlling the delay value cannot be fully obtained. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 30% by weight, there is a concern that the cycloaliphatic saturated hydrocarbon resin may seep out of the protective film over time.

纖維素系樹脂係指可從棉絨或木漿(闊葉樹漿、針葉樹漿)等原料纖維素獲得的纖維素之羥基中的部份或全部氫原子經乙醯基、丙醯基及/或丁醯基取代的纖維素有機酸酯或纖維素混合有機酸酯。例如可列舉:由纖維素的乙酸酯、丙酸酯、丁酸酯、及該等的混合酯等形成者。其中,並以三乙醯基纖維素膜、二乙醯基纖維素膜、纖維素乙酸酯丙酸酯膜及纖維素乙酸酯丁酸酯膜等為佳。 Cellulose resin refers to cellulose organic acid ester or cellulose mixed organic acid ester in which part or all of the hydrogen atoms in the hydroxyl group of cellulose obtained from raw cellulose such as cotton wool or wood pulp (broad-leaf tree pulp, softwood tree pulp) are replaced by acetyl, propionyl and/or butyryl groups. For example, it can be listed as: cellulose acetate, propionate, butyrate, and mixed esters thereof. Among them, triacetyl cellulose membrane, diacetyl cellulose membrane, cellulose acetate propionate membrane and cellulose acetate butyrate membrane are preferred.

將甲基丙烯酸甲酯系樹脂、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯系樹脂、聚烯烴系樹脂及纖維素系樹脂作成接著在偏光片用之第2保護膜的方法,只要適宜選擇配合各別的樹脂之方法即可,並無特別的限制。例如可採用:將已溶解在溶劑中的樹脂朝金屬製帶或鼓流鑄,將溶劑乾燥去除而獲得膜之溶劑鑄造法,及將樹脂加熱至其熔融溫度以上混練之,由模頭押出並冷卻而獲得膜之熔融押出法。在此 熔融押出法中,可以是單層膜的押出也可以是多層膜的同時押出。 The method of making methyl methacrylate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, polyolefin resin and cellulose resin into the second protective film for polarizer is not particularly limited as long as the method of matching each resin is appropriately selected. For example, the solvent casting method can be adopted, in which the resin dissolved in the solvent is cast toward a metal strip or a drum flow casting, and the solvent is dried and removed to obtain a film, and the melt extrusion method can be adopted, in which the resin is heated to above its melting temperature, kneaded, extruded from a die head and cooled to obtain a film. In this melt extrusion method, a single-layer film can be extruded or multiple layers of film can be extruded simultaneously.

For example, water-soluble adhesives have polyvinyl alcohol resins as the main component. Commercially available water-soluble adhesives can be used, or commercially available adhesives mixed with solvents or additives can be used.

The types of crosslinking agents are preferably amine compounds, aldehyde compounds, trihydroxymethyl compounds, epoxy compounds, isocyanate compounds and polyvalent metal salts, and epoxy compounds are particularly preferred. Commercially available crosslinking agents include glyoxal or Sumirez resin 650 (30) manufactured by TAOKA Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

又,另一較佳的接著劑可舉出由經活性能量線的照射而硬化的樹脂組成物所形成之活性能量線硬化型接著劑。活性能量線硬化型接著劑可舉出含有聚合性化合物及光聚合起始劑者、含有光反應性樹脂者、含有黏合劑樹脂及光反應***聯劑者等。聚合性化合物可舉出如同 光硬化性環氧系單體、光硬化性丙烯酸系單體、光硬化性胺酯系單體的光聚合性單體,或來自光聚合性單體的寡聚物。光聚合起始劑可舉出含有藉由如紫外線的活性能量線之照射而產生如自由基、陽離子或陰離子的活性種之物質。含有聚合性化合物及光聚合起始劑的活性能量線硬化性接著劑,係以使用含有光硬化性環氧系單體及光陽離子聚合起始劑者為佳。 Another preferred adhesive may be an active energy ray-curing adhesive formed by a resin composition that is cured by irradiation with active energy rays.

Examples of photopolymerization initiators include substances containing active species such as free radicals, cations, or anions generated by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays. The active energy ray-curable adhesive containing a polymerizable compound and a photopolymerization initiator is preferably one containing a photocurable epoxy monomer and a photocationic polymerization initiator.

使用活性能量線硬化性接著劑時,將偏光片與保護膜黏合之後,可視需要而進行乾燥步驟,接著進行藉由活性能量線照射而使活性能量線硬化性接著劑硬化的步驟。活性能量線的光源雖然無特別的限制,但以在波長400nm以下具有發光分布的紫外線為佳,具體上可使用低壓水銀燈、中壓水銀燈、高壓水銀燈、超高壓水銀燈、化學燈、黑光燈、微波激發水銀燈、金屬鹵化物燈等。 When using an active energy ray-curable adhesive, after bonding the polarizer and the protective film, a drying step can be performed as needed, and then a step of curing the active energy ray-curable adhesive by irradiating the active energy ray can be performed.

(活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層) (Hard layer of active energy ray-hardening resin composition)

活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層可供使用作為保護偏光片的表面之保護層。活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層與一般保護膜相比較,由於可變薄,故對於偏光板的薄型化有效。第1圖中的活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物之硬化層1即相當於此。 The hardened layer of the active energy ray hardening resin composition can be used as a protective layer to protect the surface of the polarizer. Compared with the general protective film, the hardened layer of the active energy ray hardening resin composition can be thinner, so it is effective for thinning the polarizer. The hardened layer 1 of the active energy ray hardening resin composition in Figure 1 is equivalent to this.

本發明的偏光板之套組中,偏光板(尤其是前面側偏光板)係以偏光片的至少一面具備活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物之硬化層為佳,並以在偏光片之接近液晶單元之側具備活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層更佳。此情況,由於可使偏光片與液晶單元的距離變小,故伴隨偏光片收縮而使液晶單元變形之力變小,對高溫環境中的液晶面板之翹曲的影響更小。就此點而言,由前面側偏光板的偏光片之接近液晶單元之側的面至液晶單元之接近前面側偏光板的偏光片之側的面之距離,係以例如30μm以下為佳,並以25μm以下更佳。 In the polarizing plate set of the present invention, the polarizing plate (especially the front side polarizing plate) is preferably provided with a hardening layer of an active energy ray hardening resin composition on at least one side of the polarizing plate, and more preferably provided with a hardening layer of an active energy ray hardening resin composition on the side of the polarizing plate close to the liquid crystal unit. In this case, since the distance between the polarizing plate and the liquid crystal unit can be reduced, the force of deformation of the liquid crystal unit accompanying the contraction of the polarizing plate is reduced, and the effect on the warping of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature environment is smaller. In this regard, the distance from the side of the polarizing plate of the front side polarizing plate close to the liquid crystal unit to the side of the liquid crystal unit close to the polarizing plate of the front side polarizing plate is preferably, for example, less than 30μm, and more preferably less than 25μm.

活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層之厚度係以0.01至20μm為佳,並以0.01至10μm更佳,而以0.01至5μm又更佳。 The thickness of the hardened layer of the active energy ray-hardening resin composition is preferably 0.01 to 20 μm, more preferably 0.01 to 10 μm, and even more preferably 0.01 to 5 μm.

形成活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層之活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物,可使用與上述活性能量線硬化性接著劑相同者。活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物與活性能量線硬化性接著劑,可以使用互為相同者,也可使用互不相同者。 The active energy ray-curing resin composition forming the hardened layer of the active energy ray-curing resin composition may be the same as the above-mentioned active energy ray-curing adhesive. The active energy ray-curing resin composition and the active energy ray-curing adhesive may be the same or different.

(偏光板的製造方法) (Polarizing plate manufacturing method)

以下,以第1圖(a)表示的偏光板之套組為例說明構成本發明的偏光板之前面側偏光板及背面側偏光 板的製造方法。 The following describes the manufacturing method of the front side polarizing plate and the back side polarizing plate constituting the polarizing plate of the present invention, taking the set of polarizing plates shown in FIG. 1 (a) as an example.

(前面側偏光板的製造方法) (Manufacturing method of front side polarizing plate)

準備剝離膜、偏光片2及保護膜10,在偏光片的一面透過接著劑而黏合保護膜,且在偏光片的另一面透過揮發性液體而積層剝離膜。當然,保護膜與偏光片的黏合及剝離膜與偏光片之積層也可分別依序進行。 Prepare a release film, a polarizer 2, and a protective film 10, adhere the protective film to one side of the polarizer through an adhesive, and layer the release film on the other side of the polarizer through a volatile liquid. Of course, the bonding of the protective film and the polarizer and the layering of the release film and the polarizer can also be performed separately and in sequence.

揮發性液體例如有水或水與親水性液體的混合物等。親水性液體係以在第2步驟的加熱處理後不殘留者為佳例如可列舉:甲醇、乙醇、1-丁醇、四氫呋喃、丙酮、乙腈、N,N-二甲基甲醯胺、二甲基亞碸、甲酸、乙酸等。揮發性液體中也可添加抗靜電劑等添加劑。 Volatile liquids include water or a mixture of water and a hydrophilic liquid. The hydrophilic liquid is preferably one that does not remain after the heat treatment in step 2, for example: methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, formic acid, acetic acid, etc. Antistatic agents and other additives may also be added to the volatile liquid.

形成剝離膜的樹脂並非特別的限制者,例如可列舉:由甲基丙烯酸甲酯系樹脂、聚烯烴系樹脂、環狀烯烴系樹脂、聚氯乙烯系樹脂、纖維素系樹脂、苯乙烯系樹脂、丙烯腈/丁二烯/苯乙烯系樹脂、丙烯腈/苯乙烯系樹脂、聚乙酸乙烯酯系樹脂、聚偏二氯乙烯系樹脂、聚醯胺系樹脂、聚縮醛系樹脂、聚碳酸酯系樹脂、改質聚苯醚系樹脂、聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯系樹脂、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯系樹脂、聚碸系樹脂、聚醚碸系樹脂、聚芳酯系樹脂、聚醯胺醯亞胺系樹脂及聚醯亞胺系樹脂等形成之膜。 The resin forming the peeling film is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include methyl methacrylate resins, polyolefin resins, cycloolefin resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, cellulose resins, styrene resins, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene resins, acrylonitrile/styrene resins, polyvinyl acetate resins, and polyvinyl acetate resins. Films formed from vinylidene chloride resins, polyamide resins, polyacetal resins, polycarbonate resins, modified polyphenylene ether resins, polybutylene terephthalate resins, polyethylene terephthalate resins, polysulfone resins, polyethersulfone resins, polyarylate resins, polyamide imide resins and polyimide resins.

當將保護膜黏合在偏光片時,為提高接著性,可在偏光片及/或保護膜的黏合面進行如電漿處理、電暈處理、紫外線照射處理、火焰(flame)處理、皂化處理的易接著處理。又,對剝離膜也進行與保護膜相同的處理 可用於改善揮發性液體的濕潤性。 When the protective film is bonded to the polarizer, in order to improve the adhesion, the bonding surface of the polarizer and/or the protective film can be subjected to an easy-to-bond treatment such as plasma treatment, corona treatment, ultraviolet irradiation treatment, flame treatment, or saponification treatment. In addition, the release film is also subjected to the same treatment as the protective film. It can be used to improve the wettability of volatile liquids.

使用活性能量線硬化型接著劑作為接著劑時係藉由照射活性能量線而使接著劑硬化,接著進行加熱處理,將揮發性液體揮發去除。使用水性接著劑作為接著劑時係藉由進行加熱處理,一面使偏光片與保護膜接著,一面使揮發性液體揮發去除。就簡化步驟而言,係以使用水性接著劑為佳。 When using an active energy ray-curing adhesive as an adhesive, the adhesive is cured by irradiating active energy rays, and then heat treatment is performed to evaporate and remove the volatile liquid. When using a water-based adhesive as an adhesive, the polarizer and the protective film are bonded by heat treatment while the volatile liquid is evaporated and removed. In terms of simplifying the steps, it is better to use a water-based adhesive.

乾燥溫度係以30至90℃為佳。如低於30℃時,可能有乾燥時間變長、產生外觀不良之疑慮。又,如乾燥溫度超過90℃時,可能有因熱而致偏光片的偏光性能劣化之疑慮。乾燥時間可設成10至1,000秒左右,就生產性之觀點而言,係以60至750秒為佳,並以150至600秒更佳。 The drying temperature is preferably between 30 and 90°C. If it is lower than 30°C, the drying time may be prolonged, resulting in poor appearance. Also, if the drying temperature exceeds 90°C, the polarization performance of the polarizer may be deteriorated due to heat. The drying time can be set to about 10 to 1,000 seconds. From the perspective of productivity, 60 to 750 seconds is preferred, and 150 to 600 seconds is more preferred.

藉由在偏光片透過由揮發性液體形成之層將剝離膜積層,於本步驟的加熱溫度可提高至例如超過60℃而90℃以下左右。亦即,將加熱溫度設定成較高溫,除了可防止偏光片的破裂,也可因該高溫加熱而使偏光片的收縮率變小,從而獲得尺寸安定性高的單面保護偏光板。藉由使單面保護偏光板的收縮率變小,在使用此偏光板製作液晶面板時,可更減少該液晶面板的翹曲。 By laminating the exfoliation film through a layer formed by a volatile liquid on the polarizer, the heating temperature in this step can be increased to, for example, above 60°C and below 90°C. That is, setting the heating temperature to a higher temperature can not only prevent the polarizer from breaking, but also reduce the shrinkage rate of the polarizer due to the high temperature heating, thereby obtaining a single-sided protected polarizer with high dimensional stability. By reducing the shrinkage rate of the single-sided protected polarizer, when the liquid crystal panel is made using the polarizer, the warp of the liquid crystal panel can be further reduced.

為了藉由加熱使偏光片與剝離膜積層中使用的揮發性液體揮發,保護膜及剝離膜的至少一方的膜之透濕度係以400g/m2‧24小時以上為佳,並以420g/m2‧24小時以上更佳。透濕度在此範圍中時,由於在之後的 第2步驟可使揮發性液體有效率的揮發去除,故可更提高生產性。 In order to volatilize the volatile liquid used in the lamination of the polarizer and the release film by heating, the moisture permeability of at least one of the protective film and the release film is preferably 400g/ m2 ‧24 hours or more, and more preferably 420g/ m2 ‧24 hours or more. When the moisture permeability is within this range, the volatile liquid can be efficiently evaporated and removed in the subsequent second step, thereby further improving productivity.

在基材膜上塗布活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物,以使活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層1積層在偏光片2上。接著,自前述單面保護偏光板將剝離膜剝離去除,將單面保護偏光板中的偏光片2與基材膜上的活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物積層。藉由照射活性能量線使活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物硬化而形成硬化層1。將基材膜剝離去除,在硬化層1上形成黏著劑層20,即可獲得由黏著劑層20/活性能量線硬化型樹脂組成物的硬化層1/偏光片2/接著劑層30/保護膜10所形成之前面側偏光板。 An active energy ray curing resin composition is applied to a substrate film so that a curing layer 1 of the active energy ray curing resin composition is laminated on the polarizer 2. Next, the release film is peeled off from the aforementioned single-sided protective polarizer, and the polarizer 2 in the single-sided protective polarizer is laminated with the active energy ray curing resin composition on the substrate film. The active energy ray curing resin composition is cured by irradiating active energy rays to form a curing layer 1. The substrate film is peeled off and removed, and an adhesive layer 20 is formed on the curing layer 1, so that the front side polarizer formed by the adhesive layer 20/the curing layer 1 of the active energy ray curing resin composition/the polarizer 2/the adhesive layer 30/the protective film 10 can be obtained.

(背面側偏光板的製造方法) (Manufacturing method of back side polarizing plate)

藉由與前面側偏光板的製造方法相同之方法,準備剝離膜、偏光片2及保護膜11,將保護膜透過接著劑而黏合在偏光片2的一面,同時將剝離膜透過揮發性液體而積層在偏光片2的另一面。使偏光片2與保護膜11接著並去除揮發性液體之後,將剝離膜剝離而獲得單面保護偏光板。 By the same method as the manufacturing method of the front side polarizing plate, a release film, a polarizer 2 and a protective film 11 are prepared, and the protective film is bonded to one side of the polarizer 2 through an adhesive, and the release film is deposited on the other side of the polarizer 2 through a volatile liquid. After the polarizer 2 and the protective film 11 are bonded and the volatile liquid is removed, the release film is peeled off to obtain a single-sided protected polarizing plate.

藉由使亮度改善膜透過黏著劑層而積層在單面保護偏光板中的保護膜上,並將黏著劑層20積層在偏光片2上,可獲得由黏著劑層20/偏光片2/接著劑層31/保護膜11/黏著劑層21/亮度改善膜40所形成的背面側偏光板。 By allowing the brightness improvement film to pass through the adhesive layer and be laminated on the protective film in the single-sided protected polarizing plate, and laminating the adhesive layer 20 on the polarizer 2, a back-side polarizing plate formed by the adhesive layer 20/polarizer 2/adhesive layer 31/protective film 11/adhesive layer 21/brightness improvement film 40 can be obtained.
