Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method and application of a blue light blocking protective film, belonging to the field of functional films. Background Art

[0002] Display components with white light LEDs as the display backlight system have become the main product solutions of existing electronic display technologies. Such display screens are widely used in mobile communication terminal devices, computer devices, household and commercial display devices, entertainment devices, etc. The blue light hazards and "blue-rich" photobiological safety problems brought by white light LEDs are major technical defects of such display screens. The light radiation hazards of white light LEDs are mainly manifested in aspects such as near-ultraviolet radiation damage to the eyes and photochemical damage of retinal blue light. Short-wavelength high-energy blue light with a peak around 430 nm can cause retinal photochemical damage and apoptosis of pigment epithelial cells. Short-wave blue light has high energy and tissue penetration ability, and has a strong destructive effect on the biological photosensitive groups of mammals, causing retinal lesions. Pathological studies show that the high-energy blue light in white light LEDs may play a certain accelerating role in the formation mechanism of age-related macular degeneration. Since the retinal macula of children has a weak ability to absorb blue light, under the same light intensity, the amount of blue light radiation transmitted is about twice that of adults, and the harm of blue light radiation to children's retinas is even greater. If young people in the growth and development stage are in a high-energy blue light illumination environment for a long time, it will induce blinding eye diseases in the lightest case and cause lifelong low vision in the most serious case.

[0003] At present, the mainstream blue light absorbing materials are mostly organic small molecule blue light absorbing materials. The two major types of electronic display screen protection products with blue light blocking functions made are blue light protection glasses and blue light blocking functional film stickers. Due to the poor stability of organic small molecule blue light absorbing materials themselves, their heat and moisture resistance is not good, especially their own base color is relatively deep, resulting in a high yellow index of the products made, and ultimately affecting the true presentation of the display effect.

[0004] The saturated coordination organic rare earth complex optical functional materials developed based on China's strategic resource rare earth materials have significant photophysical properties and excellent weather resistance. Compared with traditional rare earth oxide luminescent materials, they have improved resin compatibility and processing convenience. Especially, the application of tetrazole europium complexes excited by blue light in the field of blue light protection not only realizes the effective absorption and conversion of high-energy blue light, but also reduces the yellowing coefficient of blue light protection film products, and the blue light protection does not show color deviation.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for preparing an anti-blue light screen protection film, which can absorb short-wave high-energy blue light and convert it into red light visible light in a longer wavelength band, achieving the barrier protection against blue light and effectively reducing the harm of blue light to the human eye. It can be applied not only to the display screens of electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, TVs, and instruments, but also to fields such as packaging, compounding, electrical, and medicine. In addition, an anti-blue light screen protection film in the present invention also has the advantages of water resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, explosion protection, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0063] A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is coated on the back side of the resin film by means of slot coating. The solvent is removed by baking at 80 °C for 2 minutes, and then thermoset at 110 °C to obtain an adhesive layer with a thickness of about 20 μm. An antistatic PET release film layer with a thickness of 100 μm is laminated under the adhesive layer to obtain a blue light blocking screen protector. Among them, the components and mass fractions of the adhesive layer are: 100 parts of dimethylmethylvinylsiloxane (Dow DOWSIL-7666), 50 parts of a diluent toluene, 1.0 part of a crosslinking agent (Dow SYL-OFF SL 7028), 1.2 parts of a catalyst (Dow SYL-OFF 4000), and 1.3 parts of a fixing agent (Dow SYL-OFF 297).

[0064] According to the scheme described in the above implementation method, the light transmittance, haze, pencil hardness, scratch resistance, adhesion, and yellow index of the blue light blocking screen protectors prepared in Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 of the present invention are tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0065] Result analysis: The above test results show that the anti-blue light screen protection film described in the present invention has good scratch resistance and light transmittance. At the same time, due to the addition of the organic rare earth light conversion material, the high-energy blue light protection function of the protection film is realized. For the screen protection film prepared by using the inorganic rare earth luminescent material, although the blue light protection function is also realized, due to the poor compatibility between the inorganic rare earth material and the polymer resin substrate in the anti-blue light functional coating, the light transmittance of the coating decreases, and the clarity and brightness of the display screen are reduced at the product level, greatly reducing the visual effect of the display screen.
