Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of optical film processing, in particular to a blended resin particle and use of the blended resin particle as a light diffuser, and also to a PET light diffusion base film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) require a diffusion film to atomize the light emitted from a point light source into a uniform surface light source, thereby obtaining a light output suitable for the application. Therefore, a light diffusion film usually needs to have high transmittance and high haze. Currently, there are two ways to prepare light diffusion films. One is to treat a highly transparent film by coating, polishing, etc., and use the roughness of the optical film surface to produce light diffusion. However, the surface of this optical film is prone to damage, and it is easy to curl after being heated, thereby reducing the light diffusion effect.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN 114578465A discloses a PET-based diffusion film and a preparation method thereof. The PET-based diffusion film has an A / B / C three-layer structure, wherein layer A is a molded layer, layer B is a core layer, and layer C is an anti-sticking layer. Layer A includes a modified polyester resin, layer B includes a crystalline polyester resin, and layer C includes a crystalline polyester resin and an anti-sticking masterbatch. The surface of layer A has a semi-concave spherical pattern made by molding.

[0004] Another method for preparing a light diffusion film is to add a light diffusion agent internally, using the difference in refractive index of different materials to form light diffusion. The optical film prepared by this method can avoid the phenomenon of curling of the light diffusion film after being heated. The PET (polyethylene terephthalate) base film prepared by adding a light diffusion agent has good light transmittance, and also has the advantages of good flatness, easy processing, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent CN 112433279A discloses a method for preparing a light diffusion film, comprising the following steps: A. hydroxylating PET; B. preparing a diffusion layer coating: (1) preparing hollow silica nanoparticles; (2) preparing a diffusion layer coating: diluting UV-curing acrylate with methyl isobutyl ketone to obtain a UV-curing acrylate solution, then mixing the hollow silica nanoparticles with the UV-curing acrylate solution to obtain a suspension, then using a coating machine to coat the suspension on the hydroxylated PET, keeping it in the dark, and then curing it by ultraviolet irradiation to obtain a light diffusion film. The hollow silica nanoparticles in the light diffusion film have good dispersibility in the diffusion layer, can undergo multiple scattering, can improve the light diffusion effect and transmittance, and thus can achieve a higher transmittance, so that the haze and transmittance of the light diffusion film are balanced. Although this preparation method can achieve high transmittance and high haze, it has the disadvantages of complex preparation process and low industrial applicability.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a light diffusion film that has both high light transmittance and high haze, good heat resistance, and is easy to prepare. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to make up for the deficiencies in the prior art, one object of the present invention is to provide a blended resin particle, which can be used as a light diffuser to improve the optical properties and mechanical properties of a light diffusion film.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide uses of the blended resin particles.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a PET light diffusion base film and a preparation method thereof.

[0010] The first aspect of the present invention provides a blended resin particle, which is obtained by melt extrusion granulation of PET resin and cycloolefin polymer (COC / COP) resin at least once, wherein the mass ratio of the PET resin to the cycloolefin polymer resin is 10:1-10.

[0011] Usually PET resin and COP resin are incompatible, and COP resin cannot be directly added to PET substrate to modify it. However, the inventors have found that after PET resin and COP resin are subjected to one or more "melt extrusion granulation", the compatibility of the two can be improved, and when the obtained blended resin particles are added to the PET substrate to prepare PET film, COP resin has good and uniform distribution in the film, thus significantly improving the optical properties (such as haze) of the PET film, plus the high light transmittance of the PET film itself, the modified PET film can simultaneously have high light transmittance and high haze, and is therefore very suitable for preparing light diffusion film. Moreover, the PET film after COP resin modification also has improved mechanical properties and heat resistance, and after being placed at high temperature, light transmittance and haze are also substantially unchanged. In addition, the blended resin particles of the present invention also have the advantages of wide sources of raw materials, low cost, simple preparation process, and being suitable for industrial production.

[0012] In the blended resin particles provided by the present invention, the cycloolefin polymer resin may be any type commonly found in the resin field, for example, may be a polymer having the structure shown below:

In some more preferred embodiments, the particle size of the blend resin particles can be 1 to 5 mm.

[0019] In the blend resin particles provided by the present invention, the more times the melt extrusion granulation process is carried out, the better the compatibility of the two resins in the obtained blend resin particles, but the manufacturing cost will relatively increase.

[0071] The thickness and performance test results of the prepared PET base film are shown in Table 1.

[0072] Table 1 Film performance test results

[0073]

[0074] From the test results of Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the PET film without adding a diffusing agent in Comparative Example 1 has high light transmittance, but the haze is only 2.4%. The light transmittance of the PET films prepared in Examples 1 - 3 is higher than 90%, and the haze is higher than 86%. This shows that the resin particles after mixing PET and COP play the role of a diffusing agent in the film. Moreover, with the increase of the COP content, the haze of the product is also significantly improved, and the modified PET film can be used as a diffusing film.

[0075] On the other hand, the minimum thickness of the PET film without adding a diffusing agent is 0.596 mm (the film will break if the film thickness is further reduced). The film thickness of Examples 1 - 3 after adding diffusing agent particles can be lower than 0.528 mm, indicating that the diffusing agent particles of the present invention can also improve the strength of the PET film, which is beneficial to reducing the film thickness. At the same time, after heating the PET films of Examples 1 - 3 at 85 °C for 24 hours, their light transmittance and haze do not decrease significantly, indicating that the diffusing agent particles are also beneficial to improving the heat resistance of the PET film.

[0076] From the test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that if COP is directly added to the PET film as a diffusing agent (as shown in Comparative Example 2), due to the very poor compatibility between the two, although the haze and film thickness are improved to some extent, the improvement effect is very limited, and the obtained PET film even shows visible non-uniformity to the naked eye. Even if two melt extrusions are carried out (as shown in Comparative Example 3), the improvement in the compatibility between the two is not obvious.

[0077] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used in the present invention have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.

[0078] The embodiments described in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various other substitutions, changes and improvements within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and is only defined by the claims.
