Problems solved by technology

In a process involving the use of a photo-alignment film, the photo-alignment film must be irradiated with light in different directions of the alignment process, which complicates its production
A process is also known that involves producing a patterned optically anisotropic layer using a rubbed alignment film; however, this process always requires mask rubbing in different directions, resulting in process complexity

[0072] (1) Preparation method of optical film

[0073] For example, one exemplary method sequence for making the optical film of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0074] 1) forming an alignment film on a transparent support;

[0075] 2) rubbing the alignment film in one direction;

[0076] 3) coating a type of composition mainly composed of liquid crystals having polymerizable groups on the rubbed alignment film;

[0077] 4) At temperature T 1 heating the laminate at °C to orient the liquid crystal molecules so that their slow axes are perpendicular to the rubbing direction;

[0078] 5) exposing the laminate to ultraviolet rays through a photomask so as to fix the irradiated area in a vertical alignment state;

[0079] 6) At temperature T 2 ℃ (where T 1 2 ) to heat the laminate to orient the liquid crystal molecules in the non-irradiated regions so that their slow axes are parallel to the rubbing direction; and

[0080] 7) The laminate is irradiated ...

[0466] Preparation of transparent support provided with rubbed alignment film

[0467] A 4% polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution (KURARAY POVAL PVA-103, manufactured by KURARAY CO., LTD.) was applied to a transparent glass support with a #12 rod, and the coating was dried at 80° C. for 5 minutes. Then, at 400 rpm, the coating was subjected to unidirectional rubbing for 3 times to prepare a glass support with a rubbed alignment film. Re(550) of the glass support was 0 nm and Rth was 0 nm, and the thickness of the alignment film was 0.9 μm.

[0468] Preparation of patterned optically anisotropic layer

[0469] A composition for an optically anisotropic layer was prepared as shown below, which was then filtered through a polypropylene filter with a pore diameter of 0.2 μm to prepare a coating liquid for an optically anisotropic layer. The coating liquid was applied, and then the coating was dried at a surface temperature of 80°C for 1 minute into a liquid crystal phase for unifor...

Abstract

The disclosed optical film has an optically anisotropic layer with a high-definition orientation pattern, is easy to manufacture, and is highly useful. Said optical film comprises at least the following on top of a transparent support (16): an oriented film (14) which is processed in one direction; and an optically anisotropic layer (12) formed from one species of composition consisting primarily of a liquid crystal that has polymerizable groups. The disclosed optical film is characterized in that the optically anisotropic layer is a patterned optically anisotropic layer that contains first and second retardation regions that have mutually orthogonal in-plane slow axes and are arranged in alternation in-plane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical film and a preparation method of the optical film, wherein the optical film includes an optically anisotropic layer provided with a high-definition orientation pattern, which is easy to produce and practical. The present invention also relates to a polarizing plate each including the optical film, an image display device, and a stereoscopic image display system capable of displaying a stereoscopic image. Background technique [0002] A three-dimensional (3D) image display device for displaying stereoscopic images requires optical components that convert images for left and right eyes into, for example, circularly polarized images each having opposite circularly polarized directions. The production of such optical components includes a patterning technique of regularly arranging different regions in which a polarizing film has an absorption axis in different directions and a retardation film has a slow axis in...
