Description

積層体、偏光板及び画像表示装置Laminated body, polarizing plate, and image display device
 本発明は、積層体、この積層体を用いた偏光板、並びに、この偏光板を用いた画像表示装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a laminate, a polarizing plate using the laminate, and an image display device using the polarizing plate.
 エレクトロルミネッセンスディスプレイ(ELD)、液晶表示装置(LCD)等に代表される画像表示装置には、その薄型化への要求が益々高まっている。また、屋外用途をはじめとして画像表示装置の使用環境は多様化しており、画像表示装置には従来に比べて過酷な環境下でも良好な画像品質を安定して維持できる性能(高度な耐久性)が求められるようになっている。
 画像表示装置における画像品質の低下は、水が偏光板内部へと進入し、偏光子を劣化させることが一因とされる。偏光子はその表面に保護フィルム(光学フィルム)が積層されて保護されているが、この保護フィルムにも薄膜化が求められている。保護フィルムを薄膜化すると水が偏光子とより接触しやすくなり、画像品質が低下しやすくなる。また、かかる画像品質の低下は、屋外用途等の過酷な環境下での使用においてより顕在化する。
 また、実用的な保護フィルムとするためには、保護フィルムの光学特性の経時に伴う変動を極力抑えることも重要となる。しかし、一般的に、保護フィルムは上述した過酷な環境下(特に高温環境下)での使用において光学特性の劣化が進行しやすい。このような光学特性の劣化としては、ヘイズ値の上昇やフィルムの着色が例として挙げられる。
Image display devices represented by electroluminescence displays (ELD), liquid crystal display devices (LCD), and the like are increasingly demanded for thinning. In addition, the usage environment of image display devices has been diversified, including outdoor applications, and image display devices have the ability to stably maintain good image quality even in harsh environments (high durability). Is now required.
The decrease in image quality in the image display device is partly caused by water entering the polarizing plate and degrading the polarizer. The polarizer is protected by laminating a protective film (optical film) on the surface, and the protective film is also required to be thin. When the protective film is thinned, water is more likely to come into contact with the polarizer, and the image quality is likely to deteriorate. Further, such a decrease in image quality becomes more apparent when used under harsh environments such as outdoor applications.
Moreover, in order to obtain a practical protective film, it is also important to suppress fluctuations with time of optical characteristics of the protective film as much as possible. However, in general, the protective film tends to deteriorate in optical characteristics when used in the harsh environment described above (particularly in a high temperature environment). Examples of such deterioration of optical characteristics include an increase in haze value and film coloring.
 上記保護フィルムとしては、汎用性、加工性等の観点からセルロースエステル樹脂、アクリル樹脂等が広く用いられている。また、所望の光学特性を発現し、且つ透湿度を抑えた保護フィルムとするために、セルロースエステルとアクリル樹脂とを混合したブレンド樹脂を用いて保護フィルムを形成することも知られている(例えば特許文献1及び2)。 As the protective film, cellulose ester resins, acrylic resins, and the like are widely used from the viewpoints of versatility and processability. It is also known to form a protective film using a blend resin in which a cellulose ester and an acrylic resin are mixed in order to obtain a desired protective film exhibiting desired optical properties and moisture permeability (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

 本発明者らは、上記特許文献1及び2記載のフィルムをはじめ、従来の保護フィルムを検討した結果、これらの保護フィルムは、特に上述した要求水準まで高度に薄膜化した際には偏光子の劣化の問題に十分に対応できないことが困難であることが明らかとなってきた。
 また、これらの保護フィルムを高温環境下で保存した場合に、ヘイズ値が上昇しやすい傾向にあり、これらの保護フィルムを画像表示装置に組み込んだ際に表示性能を良好に維持することが困難であることも明らかとなってきた。
 本発明は、セルロースエステル樹脂層を備えた積層体であって、層間の密着性に優れ、薄膜化して偏光子の保護フィルムとして用いた際にも偏光子の経時的な劣化を抑制することができ、さらに高温環境下においてもヘイズ値の経時的な上昇が抑制され、画像表示装置に組み込んだ際に表示性能を長期に亘り良好に維持することを可能とする積層体、この積層体を用いた偏光板、並びにこの偏光板を用いた画像表示装置を提供することを課題とする。
As a result of studying the conventional protective films including the films described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the present inventors have found that these protective films are particularly suitable for polarizers when they are highly thinned to the above-mentioned required levels. It has become clear that it is difficult to adequately address the problem of degradation.
In addition, when these protective films are stored in a high temperature environment, the haze value tends to increase, and it is difficult to maintain good display performance when these protective films are incorporated into an image display device. It has also become clear.
The present invention is a laminate comprising a cellulose ester resin layer, which has excellent interlayer adhesion, and suppresses deterioration of the polarizer over time even when it is thinned and used as a protective film for a polarizer. In addition, a laminate that suppresses the increase in haze value over time even in a high-temperature environment and can maintain good display performance for a long time when incorporated in an image display device, and uses this laminate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a polarizing plate and an image display device using the polarizing plate.
 本発明者らは上記課題に鑑み鋭意検討を重ねた結果、特定構造の繰り返し単位を有し、且つ特定温度以上のガラス転移温度を有するポリマーを含有する層をセルロースエステル樹脂層上に直接設けた積層体が、層間の密着性に優れること、高温環境下においてもヘイズ値の経時的な上昇が抑制できること、偏光子の保護フィルムとして用いた場合に高温高湿条件下でも偏光子の経時的な劣化を抑えることができることを見出した。
 本発明はこれらの知見に基づきさらに検討を重ね、完成されるに至ったものである。
As a result of intensive studies in view of the above problems, the present inventors directly provided a layer containing a polymer having a repeating unit having a specific structure and having a glass transition temperature equal to or higher than a specific temperature on the cellulose ester resin layer. The laminate is excellent in adhesion between layers, can suppress the increase in haze value over time even in a high temperature environment, and when used as a protective film for a polarizer, It was found that deterioration can be suppressed.
The present invention has been further studied based on these findings and has been completed.

The cellulose ester used in the present invention can be synthesized by a conventional method. For example, cellulose acylate can be synthesized using an acid anhydride, acid chloride, or the like as an acylating agent. When the acylating agent is an acid anhydride, an organic acid (for example, acetic acid), methylene chloride, or the like is used as a reaction solvent. Further, a protic catalyst such as sulfuric acid can be used as the catalyst. When the acylating agent is an acid chloride, a basic compound can be used as a catalyst. In general industrial production of cellulose acylate, an organic acid (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, etc.) corresponding to the desired acyl group or an acid anhydride (acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, etc.) of cellulose is used. Is used to esterify the hydroxy group.
For example, a cellulose derived from cotton linter or wood pulp is used as a raw material, and this is activated with an organic acid such as acetic acid and then esterified with an organic acid having a desired structure in the presence of a sulfuric acid catalyst. Acylate can be obtained. When an organic acid anhydride is used as the acylating agent, cellulose is generally esterified using an excess amount of the organic acid anhydride relative to the amount of hydroxy groups present in the cellulose.
Cellulose acylate can also be synthesized, for example, by the method described in JP-A-10-45804.

<Formation of cellulose ester resin layer>
Next, the formation of the cellulose ester resin layer will be described.
The formation of the cellulose ester resin layer is not particularly limited. For example, the cellulose ester resin layer is preferably formed by a melt film formation method or a solution film formation method (solvent casting method). More preferably, it is formed by a film forming method (solvent casting method). Examples of film production using the solvent cast method are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,336,310, 2,367,603, 2,492,078, 2,492,977, Nos. 2,492,978, 2,607,704, 2,739,069 and 2,739,070, British Patent Nos. 640731 and 736892 And the Japanese Patent Publications Nos. 45-4554, 49-5614, JP-A-60-176834, JP-A-60-203430, and JP-A-62-115035. Moreover, the said cellulose-ester resin layer may be extended | stretched. For the stretching method and conditions, refer to, for example, JP-A-62-115035, JP-A-4-152125, 4-284221, 4-298310, and 11-48271. can do.
(流延)
 溶液の流延方法としては、調製されたドープを加圧ダイから金属支持体上に均一に押し出す方法、一旦金属等の支持体上に流延されたドープをブレードで膜厚を調節するドクターブレードによる方法、逆回転するロールで調節するリバースロールコーターによる方法等があり、加圧ダイによる方法が好ましい。加圧ダイにはコートハンガータイプ、Tダイタイプ等があるが、いずれも好ましく用いることができる。また、ここで挙げた方法以外にも、従来知られているセルロースエステル溶液を流延製膜する種々の方法で実施することができ、用いる溶媒の沸点等の違いを考慮して各条件を設定することができる。
(Casting)
As a method of casting the solution, a method of uniformly extruding the prepared dope from a pressure die onto a metal support, a doctor blade for adjusting the film thickness with a blade of the dope once cast on a support of metal or the like And a method using a reverse roll coater that adjusts with a reversely rotating roll, and a method using a pressure die is preferred. The pressure die includes a coat hanger type and a T die type, and any of them can be preferably used. In addition to the methods listed here, it can be carried out by various known methods for casting a cellulose ester solution, and each condition is set in consideration of differences in the boiling point of the solvent used. can do.
 セルロースエステル樹脂層は単層であっても複層であってもよく、複層とする場合には、共流延法、逐次流延法、塗布法などの積層流延法を用いることが好ましく、特に同時共流延(同時多層共流延ともいう。)法を用いることが、安定製造及び生産コスト低減の観点から特に好ましい。
 共流延法及び逐次流延法によりセルロースエステル樹脂層を製造する場合には、先ず、各層用のセルロースエステル溶液(ドープともいう)を調製し、この溶液を支持体上に流延する。
 共流延法(重層同時流延)では、まず流延用支持体(バンド又はドラム)の上に、各層(3層あるいはそれ以上でもよい)各々の流延用ドープを別々のスリットなどから同時に押出すことができる流延用ダイを用いてドープを押出して、各層同時に流延する。流延後、適当な時間をおいて支持体から剥ぎ取って、乾燥しフィルムを成形する流延法である。共流延ダイを用いることにより、例えば、流延用支持体の上に表層用ドープから形成された表層2層と、これら表層に挟まれたコア層用ドープからなるコア層の計3層を、支持体上に同時に押出して流延することができる。
The cellulose ester resin layer may be a single layer or multiple layers, and in the case of multiple layers, it is preferable to use a lamination casting method such as a co-casting method, a sequential casting method, or a coating method. In particular, the simultaneous co-casting (also referred to as simultaneous multi-layer co-casting) method is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of stable production and production cost reduction.
When producing a cellulose ester resin layer by the co-casting method and the sequential casting method, first, a cellulose ester solution (also referred to as a dope) for each layer is prepared, and this solution is cast on a support.
In the co-casting method (multi-layer simultaneous casting), first, a casting dope for each layer (which may be three layers or more) is simultaneously applied from a separate slit or the like on a casting support (band or drum). The dope is extruded using a casting die that can be extruded, and the layers are cast simultaneously. It is a casting method in which after casting, the film is peeled off from the support after an appropriate time and dried to form a film. By using a co-casting die, for example, a total of three layers: a surface layer two layers formed from a surface layer dope on a casting support, and a core layer composed of a core layer dope sandwiched between these surface layers. It can be extruded and cast simultaneously on a support.
 逐次流延法では、流延用支持体の上に先ず第1層用の流延用ドープを流延用ダイから押出して、流延し、乾燥あるいは乾燥することなく、その上に第2層用の流延用ドープを流延用ダイから押出して流延する要領で、必要なら第3層以上まで逐次ドープを流延・積層して、適当な時間をおいて支持体から剥ぎ取って乾燥し、セルロースエステル樹脂層を形成する。
 また塗布法では、一般的には、コア層を溶液製膜法によりフィルム状に形成し、その表層に、目的のセルロースエステル溶液である塗布液を塗布し、乾燥して、積層構造のセルロースエステル樹脂層を形成する。
In the sequential casting method, the casting dope for the first layer is first extruded from the casting die on the casting support, cast, and dried on the second layer without drying or drying. The dope for casting is extruded from the casting die, and if necessary, the dope is cast and laminated sequentially up to the third layer or more, and peeled off from the support after a suitable time and dried. Then, a cellulose ester resin layer is formed.
In the coating method, generally, a core layer is formed into a film by a solution casting method, and a coating solution that is a target cellulose ester solution is applied to the surface layer, followed by drying to form a cellulose ester having a laminated structure. A resin layer is formed.
(延伸)
 上記セルロースエステル樹脂層は、上記の流延、乾燥後、延伸処理されていることも好ましい。セルロースエステル樹脂層の延伸方向はフィルム搬送方向(MD(Machine Direction)方向)と搬送方向に直交する方向(TD(Transverse Direction)方向)のいずれでもよい。後に続く偏光板加工プロセスを考慮すると、TD方向であることが好ましい。延伸処理は2段階以上に分けて複数回行ってもよい。
(Stretching)
The cellulose ester resin layer is preferably stretched after casting and drying. The stretching direction of the cellulose ester resin layer may be either the film transport direction (MD (Machine Direction) direction) or the direction orthogonal to the transport direction (TD (Transverse Direction) direction). Considering the subsequent polarizing plate processing process, the TD direction is preferable. The stretching process may be performed a plurality of times in two or more stages.
 TD方向に延伸する方法は、例えば、特開昭62-115035号、特開平4-152125号、同4-284211号、同4-298310号、同11-48271号などの各公報に記載されている。TD方向の延伸の場合、フィルムの巾をテンターで保持しながら搬送して、テンターの巾を徐々に広げることによって延伸することができる。またフィルムの乾燥後に、延伸機を用いて延伸すること(好ましくはロング延伸機を用いる一軸延伸)もできる。
 MD方向の延伸の場合、例えば、フィルムの搬送ローラーの速度を調節して、フィルムの剥ぎ取り速度よりも巻き取り速度を速くすることで行うことができる。
Methods for stretching in the TD direction are described in, for example, JP-A-62-115035, JP-A-4-152125, JP-A-2842211, JP-A-298310, and JP-A-11-48271. Yes. In the case of stretching in the TD direction, the film can be stretched by conveying the film while holding the film with a tenter and gradually widening the width of the tenter. Further, after the film is dried, it can be stretched using a stretching machine (preferably uniaxial stretching using a long stretching machine).
In the case of stretching in the MD direction, for example, it can be performed by adjusting the speed of the film transport roller to make the winding speed faster than the film peeling speed.
 本発明の積層体を偏光子の保護膜(偏光板保護フィルムとも呼ぶ)として使用する場合には、偏光板を斜めから見たときの光漏れを抑制するため、偏光子の透過軸とセルロースエステル樹脂層の面内の遅相軸を平行に配置する態様が好ましい。連続的に製造されるロールフィルム状の偏光子の透過軸は、一般的に、ロールフィルムの幅方向に平行であるので、上記ロールフィルム状の偏光子とロールフィルム状のセルロースエステル樹脂層からなる保護膜を連続的に貼り合せるためには、ロールフィルム状の保護膜の面内遅相軸は、セルロースエステル樹脂層の幅方向に平行であることが必要となる。従ってTD方向により多く延伸することが好ましい。また延伸処理は、製膜工程の途中で行ってもよいし、製膜して巻き取った原反を延伸処理してもよい。 When the laminate of the present invention is used as a protective film for a polarizer (also referred to as a polarizing plate protective film), in order to suppress light leakage when the polarizing plate is viewed obliquely, the transmission axis of the polarizer and the cellulose ester An embodiment in which slow axes in the plane of the resin layer are arranged in parallel is preferable. Since the transmission axis of the roll film-like polarizer produced continuously is generally parallel to the width direction of the roll film, it is composed of the roll film-like polarizer and the roll film-like cellulose ester resin layer. In order to continuously bond the protective film, the in-plane slow axis of the roll film-shaped protective film needs to be parallel to the width direction of the cellulose ester resin layer.

[Test Example 4: Evaluation of polarizer durability of polarizing plate]
The durability of the polarizing plate was measured by measuring the orthogonal transmittance and the polarization degree in the following manner in a form in which the polarizing plate was attached to glass through an adhesive.
A polarizing plate is placed on the glass plate so that the side of the laminates S-1, S-5, S-8 and the single layer film HS-1 is on the air interface side (so that it is on the side away from the glass plate). Two pasted samples (about 5 cm × 5 cm) were prepared. About these samples, the glass plate side was set toward the light source, and the degree of polarization was measured. Each of the two samples was measured and the arithmetic average value was taken as the polarization degree of the polarizing plate.
The degree of polarization was calculated by the following formula.
偏光度(%)=[(平行透過率-直交透過率)/(直交透過率+平行透過率)]1/2×100 Polarization degree (%) = [(parallel transmittance−orthogonal transmittance) / (orthogonal transmittance + parallel transmittance)] 1/2 × 100
