AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, even when this compound is added to cellulose ester to produce an optical film, the retardation performance is low
In addition, this compound has poor compatibility with cellulose ester, so it is easy to bleed out, and the internal haze and the haze value after stretching are large, so it is a film with low contrast.
[0006] As mentioned above, the conventionally known retardation expressing agents are not sufficient in retardation expressing property, and have the above-mentioned problems of durability and visibility, etc., and further improvement is expected.
[0007] In addition, benzo Azinonone-skeleton compounds are known as UV absorbers, but unknown as retardation agents

preparation example Construction

[0304] A general method can be used for dissolving the thermoplastic resin in the preparation of the dope. If it is heated while pressurizing, it can be heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the boiling point under normal pressure. Stirring the dissolved solution at a temperature above the boiling point of the solvent under normal pressure and in a range where the solvent does not boil under increased pressure can prevent the generation of undissolved lumps called gels or lumps. In addition, it is also preferable to mix the thermoplastic resin with a poor solvent to make it wet or swell, and then to further add a good solvent to dissolve it.

[0305] Pressurization can be performed by a method of injecting an inert gas such as nitrogen or by heating to generate a vapor pressure of the solvent. Heating is preferably performed from the outside, but on the other hand, for example, a mantle heater is preferred because it is easy to control the temperature.

[0370] The details of the cellulose ester used in Example 1 are shown.

[0371] Cellulose ester A: cellulose diacetate with a number-average molecular weight of 70,000 and a degree of acetyl substitution of 2.40 (in the table, denoted as DAC)

[0372] Cellulose ester B: cellulose acetate propionate with a number average molecular weight of 70,000 with an acetyl substitution degree of 1.58, a propionyl substitution degree of 0.9, and a total acyl substitution degree of 2.48 (referred to as CAP in the table)

Embodiment 2

[0456] Using the main dope used in the production of the optical film 104 of Example 1, the flow rate of the dope during casting was changed, and the optical films 201 to 206 having the film thicknesses shown in Table 3 were produced. It produced similarly to Example 1 except the flow rate of the dope at the time of casting. The optical films 201-206 were evaluated similarly to Example 1. At this time, the optical film 132 produced in Example 1 was added as a comparative example.

[0457] In addition, the brittleness was evaluated by the following evaluation method.

[0458] (cutting suitability)

[0459] The brittleness was evaluated by the cutting suitability described below. A worn upper cutter of 60° and a lower cutter of 90° are installed on a hydraulic bench press so that the interval is 30 μm. Then, place the optical film between the two cutters, and continuously cut out 100 samples with a width of 90 cm and a length of 100 cm at a descending speed of the above cutt...

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an optical film in which bleed out is inhibited, and which has low internal haze, and exhibits excellent brittleness, high retardation development properties, light resistance, and wet heat resistance. This optical film contains a thermoplastic resin, and a compound represented by general formula (1). (In general formula (1), X1 represents an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; Y1represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, a nitrogen atom, or NR41; Z1 represents an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom, or a sulfur atom; R11, R21 and R31 represent a substituent; R41 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; k1 represents an integer between 1 and 5; m1 represents an integer between 0 and 4; n1 represents an integer between 0 and 4; and the dash line represents a single bond or a double bond.)

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical film, a polarizer and a liquid crystal display device. More specifically, it relates to an optical film including a thermoplastic resin, a polarizing plate and a liquid crystal display device provided with the optical film. Background technique [0002] Currently, thermoplastic resin films such as cellulose ester, polycarbonate, and polyolefin are used for optical films, mainly for optical compensation films for liquid crystal display devices. Among them, an optical film (cellulose ester film) containing cellulose ester is widely used because of its excellent adhesion to a polyvinyl alcohol film used as a polarizer. The cellulose ester film itself is not sufficient in the birefringence required for an optical compensation film, and therefore various studies are being made to impart birefringence to the cellulose ester film. [0003] In recent years, the development of thin and lightweight notebook computers and thi...
