[0033] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the embodiments are not limited to the embodiments described herein, but can be embodied in various forms.
[0034] The degree terms "about", "substantially", etc. used in this specification are used to indicate the inherent manufacturing and material tolerances in the mentioned meaning, with the meaning of the numerical value or close to the numerical value, and to prevent unscrupulous infringers from improperly taking advantage of the public content that mentions exact or absolute values to assist in understanding the examples.
[0035] Throughout the present specification, the term "combination thereof" included in the Markush form expression means a mixture or combination of one or more selected from the group consisting of a plurality of structural elements described in the Markush form expression, and means including one or more selected from the group consisting of the structural elements.
[0036] Throughout the present specification, the description "A and / or B" means "A, B, or A and B".
[0037] Throughout the present specification, terms such as “first”, “second” or “A”, “B” and the like are used to distinguish the same terms unless otherwise specified.
[0038] In the present specification, B being located at A means that B is located at A or another layer may be provided therebetween, and B being located at A should not be construed as limiting B in a manner of being in contact with the surface of A.
[0039] In the present specification, as long as there is no special explanation, the expression of a single number should be construed as including the meaning of the single number or plural numbers explained in the context.
[0040] The resin described in this specification is interpreted as including the resin itself and the compound derived from the resin. For example, the polyester resin described in this specification means the polyester resin and the derivative of the polyester resin.
[0041] In this specification, when the adhesive layer is a curable adhesive layer, the storage modulus value of the adhesive layer corresponds to the value measured from the adhesive layer after curing.
[0042] In this specification, when the adhesive layer included in the multilayer sheet is a curable adhesive layer, the storage modulus value of the multilayer sheet corresponds to the value measured from the multilayer sheet after curing the adhesive layer in the multilayer sheet.
[0043] The inventors of the example controlled the storage modulus value of the multilayer sheet having an elastic layer and an adhesive layer, etc. As a result, the inventors confirmed through experiments that when the multilayer sheet is attached to a flexible attachment object such as a flexible display, even if the attachment object is repeatedly bent or rolled, the multilayer sheet will not be lifted from the surface of the attachment object and can stably protect the attachment object, thereby completing the example.
[0044] The following describes the examples in detail.
[0045] Figure 1 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the structure of a multilayer sheet of an example in cross section. Figure 1 The multilayer sheet of the example is described in further detail.
[0046] The multi-layer sheet 100 of the example includes an elastic layer 10 and an adhesive layer 20 disposed on the elastic layer 10 .
[0047] Multilayer

[0049] In the example, the storage modulus of the multilayer sheet 100 at different measurement temperatures can be controlled within a predetermined range in the example. In this case, the modulus difference between the flexible display having a relatively high storage modulus value and the multilayer sheet 100 can be reduced.

[0069] In this case, as the temperature decreases, the bending characteristics of the multilayer sheet also decrease, thereby effectively suppressing the multilayer sheet from being peeled off from the display.
[0070] The multilayer sheet 100 may have an RSM value of 1 or more and 200 or less of the following formula 1 measured at 20°C.
[0071] [Formula 1]
[0072] RSM=SM E / SM B
[0073] In Formula 1, the SM E is the storage modulus value of the elastic layer.
[0074] The SM B is the storage modulus value of the adhesive layer.
[0075] The example can control the RSM value of the multilayer sheet 100 within a preset range in the example. Thus, not only can the multilayer sheet 100 be effectively prevented from peeling off from the surface of the attached object by adjusting the mechanical property difference between the layers in the multilayer sheet 100, but also the interlayer peeling in the multilayer sheet can be effectively prevented.
[0076] The description of the method of measuring the storage modulus of the elastic layer 10 and the adhesive layer 20 overlaps with the above content, and thus is omitted.
[0077] The RSM value of the multilayer sheet 100 measured at 20° C. may be 1 or more and 200 or less. The RSM value may be 3 or more. The RSM value may be 5 or more. The RSM value may be 10 or more.

[0080] The RSM value of the multilayer sheet 100 measured at -20°C may be 0.5 or more and 75 or less. The RSM value may be 1 or more. The RSM value may be 3 or more. The RSM value may be 5 or more. The RSM value may be 7 or more. The RSM value may be 60 or less. The RSM value may be 50 or less. The RSM value may be 40 or less.

The RSM value may be 5.5 or more. The RSM value may be 7.5 or more. The RSM value may be 50 or less. The RSM value may be 30 or less. The RSM value may be 20 or less.
[0082] In this case, it is possible to effectively suppress the adhesive layer from being peeled off due to a difference in modulus between the adhesive layer and the elastic layer or a difference in modulus between the adhesive layer and the display.
[0083] The adhesive force of the multilayer sheet 100 may be 2 N / inch or more.
[0084] The embodiment can control the adhesive force of the multilayer sheet 100. Even when applied to a display that is repeatedly bent or rolled, the multilayer sheet 100 can exhibit stable adhesion.
[0085] The adhesive strength of the multilayer sheet 100 was measured after the adhesive layer 20 was cured. The adhesive strength of the multilayer sheet 100 was measured by a 180° peel test using an Advanced Force Gauge. During the measurement, the peeling speed was 300 mm / min, and the adherend was a glass plate.
[0086] For example, the advanced force gauge may be a Mecmesin AFG50 model, and the adherend may be an Avanstrate NA32G model.
[0087] The adhesive force of the multilayer sheet 100 may be 2 N / inch or more. The adhesive force may be 3 N / inch or more. The adhesive force may be 5 N / inch or more. The adhesive force may be 8 N / inch or more. The adhesive force may be 10 N / inch or more. The adhesive force may be 25 N / inch or less. The adhesive force may be 23 N / inch or less. The adhesive force may be 20 N / inch or less. The adhesive force may be 18 N / inch or less. In this case, the adhesion of the multilayer sheet may be further improved.
[0088] The thickness of the multilayer sheet 100 may be 10 μm or more. The thickness may be 15 μm or more. The thickness may be 20 μm or more. The thickness may be 30 μm or more.

[0123] In this case, the display can be stably protected in a wide temperature range, and the bending characteristics of the elastic layer can be suppressed from excessively varying.
[0124] The elastic layer 10 may have a strength of 2500 kJ / m 2 The impact strength can be 3500 kJ / m 2 The impact strength can be 4500 kJ / m 2 The impact strength can be 5000 kJ / m 2 The impact strength can be 10000 kJ / m 2 The elastic layer having such characteristics can absorb external impact well and will not be easily broken or damaged.

[0129] The elastic layer having such characteristics may have optical properties suitable for use as a protective layer for a display.
[0130] The yellow index (YI) of the elastic layer 10 may be 1 or less.
[0131] The yellow index may be a value measured using Color Meter Ultrascan Pro manufactured by Hunterlab in the YIE313 (D65 / 10) mode.
[0132] The value of the yellow index after the elastic layer 10 is exposed to ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 280 nm to 360 nm at a power of 3.0 W for 72 hours minus the yellow index before exposure may be 2 or less. The value of the yellow index after the elastic layer 10 is exposed to ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 280 nm to 360 nm at a power of 3.0 W for 72 hours minus the yellow index before exposure may be 1 or less. The value of the yellow index after the elastic layer 10 is exposed to ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 280 nm to 360 nm at a power of 3.0 W for 72 hours minus the yellow index before exposure may be 0.1 or more. The elastic layer having such characteristics can have excellent ultraviolet durability in which yellowing of the coating layer is little or almost not caused even when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
[0133] In essence, the elastic layer 10 may not have a white turbidity (cloudy phenomenon) observed. In essence, the area where the white turbidity is observed in the elastic film may be less than 1% of the total area. In this case, the total area is based on the total area of the film applicable to the product. The white turbidity can be objectively measured by haze measurement, and when the haze measurement value is greater than 1%, it can be considered that the white turbidity can be felt. The degree of the white turbidity can be adjusted by controlling the gelation degree and molecular weight distribution of the resin used in the manufacture of the elastic layer.
[0134] The elastic layer 10 may include polyether block amide (PEBA). The polyether block amide includes two phases, namely, a polyamide region as a rigid region and a polyether region as a flexible region. The melting point of the polyamide region may be above about 80°C, specifically, about 130°C to 180°C, and substantially, a hard region may be formed in a crystalline phase. The glass transition temperature of the polyether region may be below about -40°C, specifically, about -80°C to -40°C, and may exist in a low temperature region, thereby substantially forming an amorphous soft region.
[0135] Illustratively, the polyether block amide may be Arkema's EVONIK E, etc.
[0136] The elastic layer 10 may include a polymer including an amide residue as a repeating unit. The elastic layer 10 may be a plastic film including a polymer including an amide residue as a repeating unit. The elastic layer 10 may be an elastic film including a polymer including an amide residue as a repeating unit.
[0137] Based on all the polymers included in the elastic film, the amide residues may be 50 weight percent or more, or 60 weight percent or more. Based on all the polymers included in the elastic film, the amide residues may be 80 weight percent or less, or 70 weight percent or less. When a polymer having such characteristics is applied to the elastic film, an elastic film with better mechanical properties can be provided.
[0138] The elastic layer 10 may include elastic polyamide (long chain polyamide). For example, the elastic polyamide may be Arkema's wait.
[0139] The elastic layer 10 may include thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), that is, may include a copolymer of a polyurethane block (PU) and a polyether block (PE), which is also called polyether polyurethane.
[0140] The elastic layer 10 may include copolyetherester (COPE).
[0141] The thickness of the elastic layer 10 may be 500 μm or less. The thickness may be 300 μm or less. The thickness may be 200 μm or less. The thickness may be 100 μm or less. The thickness may be 80 μm or less. The thickness may be 1 μm or more. The thickness may be 5 μm or more. The thickness may be 10 μm or more. In this case, the elastic layer may impart excellent impact resistance and bending properties to the multilayer sheet.
[0142] The elastic layer 10 can be formed using a resin composition for an elastic layer.
[0143] The elastic layer resin composition may include a polymer including an amide residue as a repeating unit. The elastic layer resin composition may include an elastic polyamide. The elastic layer resin composition may include a thermoplastic polyurethane. The elastic layer resin composition may include a copolyetherester (COPE).
[0144] The description of the resin overlaps with the above content, so the description is omitted.
[0145] The method of molding the elastic layer resin composition into the shape of the elastic layer may be any method applicable to the production of a film, and a melt extrusion method may be used as an example.
[0146] When the elastic layer resin composition is melt-extruded and molded into an elastic sheet, the melt-extrusion temperature may be 200° C. to 300° C. When the melt-extrusion is performed within this temperature range, the properties of the resin itself are not damaged, and fluidity can be imparted to the resin composition, thereby enabling smooth molding into a sheet shape.
[0147] The produced elastic layer may be passed through a roller in order to adjust the thickness of the elastic layer 10. If necessary, an elastic layer protection film may be laminated on the upper and lower sides of the elastic layer to form a laminate, and then the laminate may be passed through a roller.
[0148] Adhesive layer
[0149] In the example, the storage modulus value of the adhesive layer 20 at different measurement temperatures can be controlled to reduce the difference in modulus characteristics between the adhesive layer 20 and the elastic layer 10 in the multilayer sheet 100 within a wide temperature range. As a result, the adhesive layer 20 can be prevented from peeling off from the elastic layer 10 during repeated bending. At the same time, the multilayer sheet 100 can be prevented from peeling off from the flexible display due to the difference in bending characteristics between the adhesive layer 20 and the display.

[0166] In this case, the bending characteristics of the adhesive layer can be controlled, thereby further improving the peeling resistance of the multilayer sheet.

In this case, a relatively thin adhesive layer may be used, thereby helping to impart excellent bending properties to the multilayer film.
[0169] The description of the method for measuring the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 20 overlaps with the content of the method for measuring the adhesive force of the above-mentioned multilayer sheet, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
[0170] The total light transmittance (light transmittance) of the adhesive layer 20 according to ISO 13468 may be 85% or more. The light transmittance may be 88% or more. The light transmittance may be 89% or more. The light transmittance may be 99% or less.

[0173] Such an adhesive layer is suitable for use in the display field due to its excellent optical properties.
[0174] The adhesive layer 20 may be an acrylic adhesive layer, a polyurethane adhesive layer or a silicone adhesive layer, and specifically, a silicone adhesive layer may be used. If a silicone adhesive layer is used, an adhesive layer having high light transmittance, heat resistance, weather resistance, etc. may be provided. In particular, the adhesive layer of the example described later has strong adhesive force even when the thickness is thin, thereby further improving the physical properties of the multilayer sheet compared to conventional optically clear adhesives (OCA, optically clear adhesives) such as acrylic adhesive layers.
[0175] The adhesive layer 20 may have a high adhesive force.
[0176] In order to maintain the physical properties of the multilayer sheet well even during repeated bending or folding, not only the performance of the transparent layer or coating 40 needs to be improved, but also the performance of the adhesive layer used to fix them and inhibit delamination needs to be improved. The inventors can use a silicone adhesive layer to obtain such improved performance.
[0177] The silicon-based adhesive layer can be obtained by applying the silicon adhesive composition and then drying and / or curing it.
[0178] The silicon bonding composition may include a silicon bonding agent, a catalyst and a solvent.
[0179] As the silicone adhesive, a commercially available silicone adhesive that can be used for optics can be applied. Specifically, a peroxide curing silicone adhesive and an addition reaction silicone adhesive can be applied.
[0180] As the peroxide-curing silicone adhesive, for example, KR-100, KR-101-10, and KR-130 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical, DOWSIL SH 4280 manufactured by Dow Chemical, and SilGrip PSA 510 manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials can be used.
[0181] Illustratively, the addition reaction type silicone adhesive may be KR-3700, KR-3701, X-40-3237, X-40-3240, X-40-3291-1 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical; DOWSIL SD4580, DOWSIL 4584, DOWSIL 4585, and DOWSIL 4587L manufactured by Dow Chemical; and SilGrip TSR1512 and TSR1516 manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials.
[0182] The use of an addition reaction type silicone adhesive is more advantageous in terms of process convenience.
[0183] The example can also include silicon MQ resin to improve the adhesion of the silicon-based adhesive layer. Wherein, silicon MQ resin is a polymer having at least 2 or more methyl groups in the siloxane skeleton in a cage-like oligosiloxane represented by the general formula RnSiXmOy. In the general formula, R can be an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, wherein at least 2 methyl groups are included. In the general formula, X is hydrogen, hydroxyl, chloride group or alkoxy group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms. In the general formula, n, m, and y are integers of 2 to 200, respectively. Specifically, the M unit (mono-terminated siloxane units) represented by R1R2X3SiO1 / 2 and the Q unit (tetra-terminated siloxane units) represented by SiO4 / 2 can be included. The weight average molecular weight can be 2000g / mol to 8000g / mol. If silicon MQ resin is applied to the adhesive layer, the adhesion can be further improved, especially, the initial adhesion can be improved.
[0184] Based on 100 parts by weight of the silicon adhesive, the silicon adhesive composition may include more than 5 parts by weight, more than 8 parts by weight, more than 10 parts by weight, or more than 20 parts by weight of the silicon MQ resin. Based on 100 parts by weight of the silicon adhesive, the silicon adhesive composition may include less than 70 parts by weight, less than 60 parts by weight, or less than 50 parts by weight of the silicon MQ resin. When the silicon adhesive and the silicon MQ resin are used together in such a ratio, even if the adhesive layer has a relatively thin thickness, it can have excellent adhesion.
[0185] For example, the silicone MQ resin may be X-92-128 and X-41-3003 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical, or SilGrip SR545 and SilGrip SR1000 manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials.
[0186] The catalyst may be a platinum catalyst. For example, a product such as CATPL-50T of Shin-Etsu Chemical may be used. Even if a transparent film or substrate having heat-sensitive properties due to a shortened curing time is used, the catalyst can effectively form an adhesive layer without substantially damaging the substrate.
[0187] The silicon adhesive composition may include 0.5 to 2 parts by weight or 0.8 to 1.5 parts by weight of the catalyst based on 100 parts by weight of the silicon adhesive. In this case, the catalyst may effectively promote the curing reaction in the composition.
[0188] The silicon adhesive composition may further include a solvent. The solvent may dilute the silicon adhesive composition and impart fluidity to the composition, thereby making the operability such as coating favorable. In addition, it may help to form a relatively thin adhesive layer with excellent overall physical properties. Exemplarily, the solvent may be toluene, but may also be used without limitation within the range that does not damage the physical properties of the silicon adhesive composition.
[0189] Illustratively, the silicon bonding composition may include 20 to 45 weight percent of silicon bonding agent, 2 to 25 weight percent of silicon MQ resin, 0.2 to 0.5 weight percent of catalyst, and 50 to 70 weight percent of solvent.
[0190] The silicone adhesive composition can be applied to the elastic layer 10 to form the silicone curable adhesive layer 20. The silicone adhesive composition can be formed by coating on one surface of an additional substrate film (not shown) and then laminating on the elastic layer 10. However, depending on the order of the process, drying and curing can be performed either after coating or in separate processes. The silicone adhesive composition is formed into a thin layer by coating, and the layer is dried and included in the adhesive layer in a state before being completely cured by heat or light. In this way, the dried layer of the silicone adhesive composition before curing is called a precursor layer of the silicone curable adhesive layer.
[0191] The precursor layer may be cured by heat or light to form the adhesive layer 20. For example, the adhesive layer 20 may be formed by placing the precursor layer in contact with the surface to be bonded and thermally curing the surface at 90°C to 130°C for 1 minute to 5 minutes.
[0192] Adhesive layer 20 may include silicon adhesive derived repeating units and silicon MQ resin derived repeating units. Based on 100 parts by weight of silicon adhesive derived repeating units, adhesive layer 20 may include more than 5 parts by weight, more than 8 parts by weight, more than 10 parts by weight, more than 20 parts by weight, more than 30 parts by weight, or more than 40 parts by weight of silicon MQ resin derived repeating units. Based on 100 parts by weight of silicon adhesive derived repeating units, adhesive layer 20 may include less than 90 parts by weight, less than 80 parts by weight, less than 70 parts by weight, or less than 60 parts by weight of silicon MQ resin derived repeating units. In this case, the adhesive layer may have a thin thickness, and excellent optical properties and adhesion may be obtained.
[0193] The adhesive layer 20 may contain 0.1 parts by weight or more, 0.2 parts by weight or more, 0.3 parts by weight or more, or 0.5 parts by weight or more of the catalyst relative to 100 parts by weight of the silicon adhesive-derived repeating unit and the silicon MQ resin-derived repeating unit.

[0195] Other layers
[0196] Transparent layer
[0197] The transparent layer 30 may be used as a base layer for the coating layer 40 .
[0198] The total light transmittance (light transmittance) of the transparent layer 30 according to ISO 13468 may be 85% or more. The light transmittance may be 88% or more, 89% or more, or 99% or less. However, the light transmittance is not limited thereto as long as it can be used as a support layer of a display cover film.
[0199] The haze of the transparent layer 30 may be 3% or less. The haze may be 2% or less, 1.5% or less, or 1% or less. The haze may be greater than 0%. In this case, the multilayer sheet may be made more transparent.
[0200] The yellow index (YI) of the transparent layer 30 may be less than 3. For example, the yellow index may be less than 3, less than 2.8, less than 2.2, less than 1.0, less than 0.8 or less than 0.5. Furthermore, the yellow index may be greater than 0.
[0201] The transparent layer 30 may have excellent retardation characteristics. The in-plane retardation of the transparent layer 30 may be less than 600 nm, less than 500 nm, less than 400 nm, less than 300 nm, or less than 200 nm. The in-plane retardation of the transparent layer 30 may be greater than 0 nm, greater than 10 nm, greater than 30 nm, or greater than 50 nm. In this case, when a multilayer sheet is applied to the front surface of the display, the possibility of rainbow spots at the viewing angle can be effectively reduced, and the transparent layer can have stable mechanical properties.
[0202] The minimum in-plane phase difference of the transparent layer 30 may be 200 nm or less or 150 nm or less. Specifically, the minimum in-plane phase difference may be 120 nm or less, 100 nm or less, 85 nm or less, 75 nm or less, or 65 nm or less.
[0203] The transparent layer 30 may have a thickness direction phase difference of 4000 nm or more, 5000 nm or more, or 5500 nm or more.

[0204] In the transparent layer 30, the ratio of the thickness direction phase difference to the in-plane phase difference may be greater than 10, greater than 15, or greater than 20. The smaller the in-plane phase difference and the greater the thickness direction phase difference, the more advantageous it is for preventing the occurrence of rainbow spots. Therefore, it is better to maintain the ratio of the two values as large as possible.
[0205] In the transparent layer 30 , the ratio of the maximum thickness direction phase difference to the minimum in-plane phase difference may be 30 or more, 40 or more, 50 or more, or 60 or more.
[0206] Since the molecular orientation is large and crystallization is promoted, the transparent layer having the above characteristics can have mechanical properties above an appropriate level. In addition, the transparent layer can effectively suppress the possibility of rainbow spots.
[0207] The phase difference is based on a value measured in a transparent layer having a thickness of 40 μm to 50 μm.
[0208] The tensile strength of the transparent layer 30 may be 15 kgf / mm 2 The tensile strength can be 18kgf / mm 2 Above, 20kgf / mm2 Above, 21kgf / mm 2 Above or 22kgf / mm 2 above.

[0217] Preferably, the polyester resin may be an aromatic polyester resin having excellent crystallinity, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin may be used as a main component.
[0218] When the transparent layer 30 is a polyester film, the transparent layer 30 may contain 85 weight percent or more, 90 weight percent or more, 95 weight percent or more, or 99 weight percent or more of the polyester resin.
[0219] In addition to the PET resin, the polyester film may also include other polyester resins. Specifically, the polyester film may also include less than about 15 weight percent of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) resin. More specifically, the polyester film may also include about 0.1 weight percent to 10 weight percent or about 0.1 weight percent to 5 weight percent of PEN resin.
[0220] In the manufacturing process such as heating and stretching, the degree of crystallinity of the polyester film having such a composition can be increased, and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength can be improved.
[0221] The transparent layer 30 may further contain a filler in addition to the polyester-based resin.
[0222] The filler may be one or more selected from the group consisting of barium sulfate, silicon dioxide, and calcium carbonate. The transparent layer 30 includes the filler to have controlled illuminance characteristics and improve windability. In addition, when a film is produced, the driveability and scratch improvement effect can be improved.
[0223] The particle size of the filler may be 0.01 μm or more and less than 1.0 μm. The particle size of the filler may be 0.05 μm to 0.9 μm or 0.1 μm to 0.8 μm, but is not limited thereto.
[0224] The transparent layer 30 may contain 0.01 to 3 weight percent of filler based on the total weight of the transparent layer 30. The transparent layer 30 may contain 0.05 to 2.5 weight percent, 0.1 to 2 weight percent, or 0.2 to 1.7 weight percent of filler based on the total weight of the transparent layer 30, but is not limited thereto.

As a specific example, the thickness of the transparent layer 30 may be 15 μm to 120 μm, more specifically, 20 μm to 95 μm or 25 μm to 85 μm. A transparent layer having such a thickness may not only obtain sufficient mechanical properties, but also obtain excellent optical properties.
[0226] As the transparent layer 30, SH33 / 34 products, SH37 / 38 products, TF110 products, V7610 products, V5400 products, V7611 products, TU94 products, TU63A products, TOF50 products, etc., which are currently marketed by SKC, can be used, but are not limited to these.
[0227] The manufacturing method of the transparent layer is based on a common film manufacturing method. For example, the polyester film can be manufactured by a method comprising the following steps: step 1, extruding a composition comprising a polyester resin to obtain an unstretched film; step 2, stretching the unstretched film in the length direction and the width direction; and step 3, heat fixing the stretched film.
[0228] In the manufacturing method, the raw material resin is extruded, and then preheated, stretched, and heat-fixed to produce an unstretched film. The extrusion may be performed at a temperature of 230°C to 300°C or 250°C to 280°C.
[0229] The unstretched film is preheated at a certain temperature before being stretched. Based on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polyester resin, the preheating temperature ranges from Tg+5°C to Tg+50°C, and can be determined to meet the range of 70°C to 90°C. When within the range, not only can the flexibility of the unstretched film be ensured to facilitate stretching, but also the breakage phenomenon during the stretching process can be effectively prevented.
[0230] Stretching is performed by biaxial stretching, for example, by simultaneous biaxial stretching or differential biaxial stretching to stretch in two axes in the width direction (tensor direction, TD) and the length direction (machine direction, MD). Preferably, differential biaxial stretching can be performed in which stretching is first performed in one direction and then in a direction perpendicular to the direction.
[0231] The length direction stretching ratio can be 2.0 times to 5.0 times, more specifically, 2.8 times to 3.5 times. And, the width direction stretching ratio can be 2.0 times to 5.0 times, more specifically, 2.9 times to 3.7 times. Preferably, the length direction stretching ratio d1 is similar to the width direction stretching ratio d2, specifically, the ratio (d2 / d1) of the length direction stretching ratio d2 relative to the width direction stretching ratio d1 can be 0.5 to 1.0, 0.7 to 1.0 or 0.9 to 1.0. When the length before stretching is set to 1.0, the stretching ratios d1 and d2 are the ratios of the lengths after stretching. And, the stretching speed can be 6.5m / min to 8.5m / min, but is not particularly limited.
[0232] The stretched sheet may be heat-fixed at 150° C. to 250° C., more specifically, 160° C. to 230° C. The heat-fixing may be performed for 5 seconds to 1 minute, more specifically, for 10 seconds to 45 seconds.
[0233] After the heat setting is started, the film may be relaxed in the length direction and / or the width direction, and the temperature may range from 150°C to 250°C.
