Benefits of technology

[0009] Accordingly, an object of the prevent invention is to provide an inexpensive, conductive film which overcomes the problems in the prior art, does not have any problem in transparency even if provided on displays such as LCD, and has antistatic function and electromagnetic wave shielding function.

Problems solved by technology

In recent years, with increasing a size of liquid crystal displays, there is the case that a degree of dimensional change due to water absorption may become problem even in TAC.
On the other hand, in displays, such as CRT, EL or PDP, including LCD, electromagnetic waves emitted from such displays adversely affect human body.
However, those methods have poor productivity, and the material itself is expensive, leading to the problem that a film having a conductivity imparted thereto is very expensive.
With the progress of color LCD, this coloration becomes problem.
Where a material having conductivity imparted thereto is provided on displays such as LCD, EL or PDP, adhesion of dusts on such a material due to static electricity is a great problem.
If it is tried to obtain high resistance in such derivatives, there has been the problem that polyanilines color in green and polypyrroles color in gray.

example 1

[0039] 20 g of a conductive polymer obtained by doping 16 parts by weight of diooxyethylene polythiophene (Baytron PH, manufactured by Bayer) with 30 parts by weight of a material obtained by copolymerizing polystyrenesulfonic acid ion and polystyrenesulfonic acid in 1:1 molar ratio, 100 g of a binder obtained by mixing acrylic resin, urethane resin and polyvinyl alcohol in 1:1:1 in weight ratio, and 5 g of polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether as a nonionic surfactant were dissolved in 1 kg of water containing 20 wt % of isopropyl alcohol to obtain aqueous coating liquid 1. This coating liquid was applied to a triacetyl cellulose film (TAC film) having a thickness of 80 μm by a gravure coater, and dried at 100° C. The resulting conductive polymer film had a thickness of 0.11 μm. Properties of this film are shown in Table 1 below.

[0040] Comparing with Comparative Example 1 described hereinafter wherein the conductive polymer solution was not applied, it is apparent that although the su...

example 2

[0042] Antiglare-treated film was prepared by applying an ultraviolet curable acrylic hardcoat material having fine silica dispersed therein to TAC film having a thickness of 80 μm such that the film has Haze value of 27.1% and a luster at an angle of 600 of 34.3%. The aqueous coating liquid 1 as obtained in Example 1 was applied to the surface of the film obtained above in the same manner as in Example 1. The resulting conductive polymer layer had a thickness of 0.12 μm. Properties of this film are shown in Table 2 below.

[0043] Comparative Example 2 described hereinafter shows the characteristic values in the case where the conductive polymer solution was not applied. Comparing with Comparative Example 2, it is apparent that although the surface resistivity higher than 1014 Ω / square decreases to 7×105 Ω / square by the application, and thus conductivity increases, total solar energy transmission and birefringence do not substantially change, and the yellowness is rather improved. It...

example 3

[0045] A coated film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount of the conductive polymer used was changed to 10 g. The resulting conductive polymer layer had a thickness of 0.12 μm. Properties of this film are shown in Table 1 below.

Abstract

A conductive polymer film having an antistatic function and an electromagnetic wave shielding function, and also having excellent optical properties such as transparency even if the film is arranged in the interior of LCD. The conductive polymer film comprises a polymer film and a conductive polymer adhered to the surface thereof, wherein the conductive polymer comprises polythiophene or polythiophene derivatives, the polymer film comprises an acetyl cellulose material or a norbornene material, a layer of the conductive polymer has a thickness of 3 μm or less, and the conductive polymer film has a visible light transmission of 78% or more and a surface resistivity of 103-1012 Ω / square.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a polymer film having a conductive polymer adhered to the surface thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to a conductive polymer film comprising a polymer film and a conductive polymer adhered to the surface thereof. The polymer film comprises an acetyl cellulose material or a norbornene material, and a layer of the conductive polymer has a thickness of 3 μm or less. The conductive polymer film has a visible light transmission of 78% or more and a surface resistivity of 103-1012 Ω / square. The conductive polymer film has high transparency, and antistatic function or electromagnetic wave shielding function, and is used in a display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). In particular, the conductive polymer film is advantageously used as a protective film for a polarizing plate. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART [0002] Polarizing plates have a structure such that a polyvinyl alcohol (PVC) film is stretched, iodine...
