Problems solved by technology

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a light guide plate having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 60,000 to 170,000 to 170,000 styrene-(meth)acrylate polymer resin, a residual monomer amount of 3,000 ppm or less, and an oligomer amount of 2% or less. Its water absorption is high, and its dimensional stability is not as good as that of styrene-based resins made of styrene-based monomers.
[0006] On the other hand, although styrene-based resins made of styrene-based monomers have low water absorption, they will discolor due to heat during long-term use, and the molded products will turn yellow, resulting in a decrease in transmittance.
As a result, the brightness of the backlight decreases and the chromaticity may change

[0144] The first reactor and the second reactor as a complete mixing type stirred tank and the third reactor as a plug flow type reactor with a static mixer are connected in series to constitute a polymerization process, as shown in Table 1. Production of the styrene-based resin was carried out under Condition 1 shown. The capacity of each reactor was 39 liters for the first reactor, 39 liters for the second reactor, and 16 liters for the third reactor. A raw material solution was prepared using the raw material composition described in Condition 1 of Table 1, and the raw material solution was continuously supplied to the first reactor at the flow rate described in Table 1.

[0145] Moreover, at the inlet of the 3rd reactor, the hydrophilic additive D which has a polyether chain was added so that it may become the kind and content shown in Table 3. The kinds of additives and polyethylene glycols used are as follows.

[0185] Next, using a single-screw extruder with a screw diameter of 40 mm, the styrene-based resin A, B and C as additives were melted and kneaded at a cylinder temperature of 230° C. and a screw speed of 100 rpm to obtain the content shown in Table 5. particles. The symbols of B and C of the additives used in Table 5 are the same as those in Test 1.

[0186] The transmittance, YI value, and whitening suppression effect were measured and evaluated by the method similar to Test 2.
