に関する。
本発明の光学フィルム製造用原反フィルムは、熱可塑性樹脂フィルム層とPVA層とを有する積層型のフィルムである。熱可塑性樹脂フィルム層を構成する熱可塑性樹脂としては、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリメチルペンテン、ポリスチレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリ塩化ビニル、メタクリル樹脂、ナイロン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート等の各種熱可塑性樹脂、およびこれらの熱可塑性樹脂を構成する単量体単位を複数種有する共重合体などが挙げられる。熱可塑性樹脂フィルム層において、熱可塑性樹脂は1種のみ含まれていても、2種以上含まれていてもどちらでもよい。これらの中でも、高い耐熱性と延伸性を備える点で、ポリエチレンテレフタレートが好ましく、非晶性のポリエチレンテレフタレートがより好ましい。
特に前記した他の単量体が、(メタ)アクリル酸、不飽和スルホン酸などのように、得られるPVAの水溶性を促進する可能性のある単量体である場合には、光学フィルムの製造過程においてPVAが溶解するのを防止するために、ポリビニルエステルにおけるこれらの単量体に由来する構造単位の割合は、ポリビニルエステルを構成する全構造単位のモル数に基づいて、5モル%以下であることが好ましく、3モル%以下であることがより好ましい。
なお、本発明の光学フィルム製造用原反フィルムを用いて光学フィルムを製造する場合においては、その製造条件などにもよるが、PVA層に含まれる可塑剤は光学フィルムを製造する際に溶出するなどするため、その全量が光学フィルムに残存するとは限らない。
協和界面科学株式会社製「DropMaster500」を使用し、20℃、65%RHの環境下で、内径0.4mmの針から2μLの純水を熱可塑性樹脂フィルムの表面に押し出して接触角を測定した。
以下の実施例または比較例で得られた積層体(光学フィルム製造用原反フィルム)から適当な大きさ(例えば200cm2程度)のサンプルを切り出し、質量を測定した(その質量をAとする)。次に、このサンプルを105℃で12時間乾燥し、質量を測定した(その質量をBとする)。さらに、乾燥後のサンプルを95℃の熱水で6時間煮沸してPVA層を溶解させ、残った熱可塑性樹脂フィルム層を105℃で12時間乾燥し、質量を測定した(その質量をCとする)。PVA層の水分率H(質量%)は、下記式(1)で算出した。
H = 100-100×(B-C)/(A-C) (1)
PVA層中のホウ素原子の含有量の測定は、ICP発光分析装置「IRIS AP」(サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック社製)を用いて行った。なお、測定サンプルは、積層体(光学フィルム製造用原反フィルム)から剥離したPVA層を10mg秤量後、吸収液にイオン交換水20mLを用いて酸素フラスコ燃焼を行い、0.45μmフィルターでろ過して調製した。
デジタルゲージ(マグネスケール社製「DE12BR」)を用いて、偏光フィルムの任意の位置(5箇所)での偏光フィルムの厚みを測定し、その平均値を偏光フィルムの厚みとした。
(a)透過率Tsの測定
以下の実施例または比較例で得られた偏光フィルムの幅方向の中央部から、偏光フィルムの幅方向に2cm×長さ方向に2cmの正方形のサンプルを2枚採取し、積分球付き分光光度計(日本分光株式会社製「V7100」)を用いて、JIS Z 8722(物体色の測定方法)に準拠し、C光源、2°視野の可視光領域の視感度補正を行い、1枚のサンプルについて、長さ方向に対して45°傾けた場合の光の透過率と-45°傾けた場合の光の透過率を測定して、それらの平均値Ts1(%)を求めた。もう1枚のサンプルについても同様にして、45°傾けた場合の光の透過率と-45°傾けた場合の光の透過率を測定して、それらの平均値Ts2(%)を求めた。下記式(2)によりTs1とTs2を平均し、偏光フィルムの透過率Ts(%)とした。
Ts = (Ts1+Ts2)/2 (2)
上記透過率Tsの測定で採取した2枚のサンプルを、その長さ方向が平行になるように重ねた場合の光の透過率T∥(%)、長さ方向が直交するように重ねた場合の光の透過率T⊥(%)を、上記「(a)透過率Tsの測定」の場合と同様にして測定し、下記式(3)により偏光度V(%)を求めた。
V = {(T∥-T⊥)/(T∥+T⊥)}1/2×100 (3)
以下の各実施例および比較例において、ヨウ素系色素を含有する水溶液への浸漬時間を1~2分間の範囲内で1分間から4回変更して同様の操作を行い、各実施例または比較例で製造した偏光フィルムとは二色性色素の吸着量の異なる4枚の偏光フィルムを製造した。これら4枚の偏光フィルムのそれぞれについて上記した方法で透過率Ts(%)および偏光度V(%)を求め、各実施例および比較例毎に、透過率Ts(%)を横軸、偏光度V(%)を縦軸として各実施例または比較例で得られた偏光フィルムの透過率Ts(%)および偏光度V(%)に基づく1点も含めた合計5点をグラフにプロットして近似曲線を求め、当該近似曲線から、透過率Ts(%)が44%であるときの偏光度V44(%)を求めた。
得られた偏光度V44(%)から、下記式(4)により透過率44%時の二色性比を求めて、偏光性能の指標とした。
透過率44%時の二色性比 = log(44/100-44/100×V44/100)/log(44/100+44/100×V44/100) (4)
