Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, these technologies have the following problems: it is necessary to separately install a retardation film or retardation layer together with the protective film for the polarizer, and the manufacturing method of the polarizer is complicated and the cost increases.
Therefore, the production of the resin is difficult, and the production cost of the resin increases, so there is a limit to the cost reduction of the retardation film.
[0009] On the other hand, as described in Cited Document 2, in order to impart a function as a retardation film to the optical film, when an additive such as a retardation increasing agent is added, it is used for a very high front contrast such as a VA type liquid crystal display device. In the case of a liquid crystal display device, the following problems will occur: the additive becomes an impurity, the forward scattering (haze) increases, and the front contrast is impaired as a result.
[0011] However, as a result of further studies by the present inventors, it has been found that the technology disclosed in Patent Document 3 is used to obtain an optical film and use it on one surface of a polarizer to produce a polarizing plate, and this polarizing plate is used in recent years. When used in the liquid crystal cell of a VA-type liquid crystal display device with a very high front contrast ratio such as 5000:1, there are also problems of lowering the front contrast or uneven contrast

[0088]

[0089]In the production process of the optical film of the present invention, in order to remove the contrast reduction factor caused by the deformation of the cellulose molecules caused by the stress when peeling from the film-forming substrate in the film-forming process, it is preferable to increase the cellulose ester resin-containing composition. (mucilage) and the peelability of the film substrate.

[0090] In cellulose acetate with an average degree of substitution of acetyl groups of 2.0 to 2.6, since the peeling force at the initial stage of optical film production (peeling at the beginning of production) is high, the generation of stress is large, so the reduction in cellulose ester resin Containing impurities can improve peelability and inhibit the deformation of cellulose molecules caused by stress.

[0091] In order to improve peelability, it is preferable to reduce cellulose resin raw material or alkaline earth metal salts (Ca salt, Mg salt) or residua...

[0564] 16 parts by mass of sulfuric acid, 260 parts by mass of acetic anhydride, and 420 parts by mass of acetic acid were added to 100 parts by mass of cellulose, and the temperature was raised from room temperature to 60°C over 60 minutes while stirring, and the acetylation reaction was carried out while maintaining the temperature for 15 minutes. . Next, an acetic acid-water mixed solution of magnesium acetate and calcium acetate was added to neutralize the sulfuric acid, and then steam was introduced into the reaction system, and the temperature was maintained at 60° C. for 120 minutes to perform saponification and aging treatment.

Abstract

Provided is an optical film which does not undergo the deterioration in front contrast or contrast fluctuations even when used in a VA-type liquid crystal display device having high front contrast or as a polarizing plate protection film. The optical film comprises a cellulose ester resin having high stretching adequacy and having an average acetyl group substitution degree of 2.0-2.6, has a phase difference (Ro) of 30-100 nm, a phase difference (Rth) of 70-400 nm and a film thickness of 15-50 mum, and is characterized by fulfilling a requirement represented by formula (I). Formula (I): 0.01<S(bs) / S(T)<0.30, in the formula, S(bs) represents the quantity of backscattered light at 590 nm and 25°-85° when the angle of incident light that enters the film is set at 0°, the intensity of scattered light at 590 nm and 25°-85°; and S(T) represents the total quantity of incident light that enters the film.

More specifically, it relates to an optical film whose optical characteristics are appropriately controlled, a polarizing plate using the optical film, a method for producing the polarizing plate, and a liquid crystal display device. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystal display devices can be widely used as monitors and televisions for personal computers and portable devices due to various advantages such as miniaturization and thin film reduction with low voltage and low power consumption. In particular, liquid crystal display devices for televisions, which have a large screen and can be viewed from various angles, have very strict requirements for viewing angle dependence. Recently, the performance requirements for liquid crystal display devices for monitors have als...
