Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, these dichroic pigment films have a disadvantage of low dichroism
Regarding this point, the characteristic linear (schlieren) defect of liquid crystal as also described in these documents is a problem, and there is also a problem that, in the film-forming process of the pigment film based on the wet film-forming method, due to the coating film Defects or cracks in the film caused by drying deformation during drying also cause light leakage, resulting in a decrease in dichroism
[0006] On the other hand, when the anisotropic pigmented film is formed by a wet film-forming method, it is preferable to reduce the solid content concentration of the pigment in the composition for the anisotropic pigmented film to improve the film thickness uniformity of the coating film and improve productivity, However, if the solid content concentration is lowered, the above-mentioned drying deformation tends to increase, which instead leads to a decrease in dichroism.
[0007] Due to these problems, it has been difficult to combine high coating uniformity and productivity with high dichroism in forming an anisotropic pigment film.

Abstract

An anisotropic dye film that exhibits a high dichroism and a high uniformity in a coating film is formed at a high level of productivity. In the composition for an anisotropic dye film containing a dye and being capable of forming a lyotropic liquid crystal phase, the time until the relaxation modulus G measured 0.01 seconds after the application of strain drops to 1 / 10 is equal to or shorter than 0.1 seconds at a temperature of 5°C. The composition contains a cation and a strongly acidic anion that respectively account for contents in the range of 0.9 to 0.99 equivalence and in the range of 0.02 to 0.1 equivalence relative to the content of the acidic groups of the dye. An anisotropic dye film is formed using this composition for an anisotropic dye film. A polarizing element is formed using this anisotropic dye film.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a composition for anisotropic pigment film, an anisotropic pigment film formed using the composition for anisotropic pigment film, and a polarizing element using the anisotropic pigment film. The composition can form a highly dichroic anisotropic dye film which is useful for a polarizing film included in a display element of a light-adjusting element, a liquid crystal element (LCD), or an organic electroluminescent element (OLED). Background technique [0002] In LCDs, linear polarizers or circular polarizers are used to control optical rotation or birefringence during display. Circular polarizers are also used in OLEDs to prevent light reflection of external light. Conventionally, iodine has been widely used as a dichroic substance in such a polarizing plate (polarizing element). However, since iodine has a high sublimation property, when iodine is used for a polarizing plate, its heat resistance and light resistance...
