Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of optical film technology, and more specifically, to a curing liquid, an APF curing film, and a preparation method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] An APF (Advanced Polarizing Film) is a multilayer film structure that combines birefringent materials with Bragg reflective films to achieve light reflection in a specific direction. APFs are typically formed by alternating layers of refractive and dielectric layers on a substrate layer. The core layer consists of alternating layers of birefringent material and a homogeneous dielectric layer. Total internal reflection of light in a specific direction is achieved through the refractive index difference. This structure can replace traditional linear polarizers, effectively blocking light from a specific direction while maintaining light transmittance.
[0003] In the field of display technology, APF (Optical Part Formulator) base film is used as an optical film in liquid crystal display modules to enhance display effects. The APF base film is typically laminated together with an absorptive polarizer onto the lower glass substrate of the display to improve backlight utilization efficiency. During use, the APF base film is often bonded using frame adhesive, but the substrate itself is not chemically resistant. Furthermore, with the increasing thinning of polarizers, when thin APF base films are stacked with prism films in the backlight module, they are prone to rupture, thus affecting backlight performance. Therefore, the APF base film needs to undergo a hardening treatment to give it a certain degree of chemical resistance and hardness.
[0004] However, using conventional hardening liquid for hardening treatment can easily corrode chemically insensitive substrates, causing peeling, whitening, and other phenomena; it can also affect the subsequent frame adhesive bonding; in addition, since the APF base film is a multi-layered film, it is very easy for wrinkles and cracks to occur during later use. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a hardening liquid, an APF hardening film, and a preparation method, which can be used to harden multilayer structure films such as APF base films with minimal corrosion; the obtained APF hardening film can be directly bonded to the frame adhesive in subsequent processes, and is not prone to wrinkles and cracks, thus meeting practical application requirements.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a hardening liquid, the components of which, by weight, include: 10-20 parts of the first acrylic resin; 2-10 parts of the second acrylic resin; Dilute the monomer to 2-8 parts; 0.05-0.5 parts of filler; Photoinitiator 0.5-3 parts; Solvent 10-90 parts; The first acrylic resin contains hydrophilic groups, and the second acrylic resin contains polyether segments, polyester segments, and high molecular weight alkyl C6-C... 12 At least one of the long-chain segments; the solvent includes at least one of benzene-based solvents and ether-based solvents.
[0007] In the above technical solution, the components of the hardening liquid include a first acrylic resin and a second acrylic resin. The first acrylic resin contains hydrophilic groups, and the second acrylic resin contains polyether segments, polyester segments, and high molecular weight alkyl C6-C... 12 The curing solution, containing long-chain flexible segments, is used to harden multilayer membranes such as the APF base film. The curing solution then solidifies to form a hardened layer. By introducing hydrophilic groups and flexible segments into the two acrylic resins mentioned above, the curing solution exhibits good water absorption, ensuring that the water bonding and dyne value of the hardened APF membrane meet certain requirements, allowing for direct subsequent frame bonding. Furthermore, it has low shrinkage, effectively reducing wrinkles and cracks caused by shrinkage of the layers in the hardened APF base film and other multilayer membranes under high and low temperature conditions, as well as high temperature and high humidity conditions. The solvent contains a certain amount of weakly corrosive solvents (benzene-based solvents and ether solvents), which reduces the corrosion of the APF base film and other multilayer membranes during the curing process.
[0008] Meanwhile, the curing liquid also contains a small amount of filler, which can separate the APF base film from the prism film in the backlight module. This can effectively solve the problem of rupture and adhesion caused by the lamination of the thin APF base film and the prism film in the backlight module under high and low temperature conditions and high temperature and high humidity conditions.

[0011] In the above technical solution, micron-level fillers are selected, which can effectively solve the problems of rupture and adhesion caused by the lamination of the APF base film and the prism film in the backlight module.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the solvent further includes at least one of ester solvents and ketone solvents.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the solvent also contains a certain amount of corrosive solvent (ester solvent, ketone solvent) to ensure the formation of the hardening liquid.

[0018] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an APF curing film, which includes an APF base film and a curing layer, wherein the curing layer is formed by curing with the curing liquid provided in the first aspect.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the APF base film can be 25-60 μm; The thickness of the hardened layer is 1-5 μm.
[0020] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing the APF hardened film provided in the third aspect, which involves coating the surface of the APF base film with the hardening liquid and then curing it.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the curing method includes: first, heat drying, followed by UV curing, wherein the heat drying temperature is 40-90°C, and the UV curing energy is 250-350 mJ / cm².2 . Detailed Implementation
[0022] APF (Advanced Polarizing Film) is a multilayer film structure that combines birefringent materials with Bragg reflective films to achieve light reflection in a specific direction. During use, the APF base film is often bonded using adhesive, but the APF base film itself is not chemically resistant; furthermore, with the increasing thinning of polarizers, thin APF base films are prone to puncture. Therefore, a hardening treatment is required for the APF base film, typically by coating its surface with a hardening liquid, thereby giving it a certain degree of chemical resistance and hardness.
[0023] Using conventional curing solutions to harden the APF base film can affect the subsequent frame adhesive bonding process. The applicant's analysis revealed that the APF base film needs to meet certain requirements for water bonding and dyne value after the curing solution is applied to ensure that the APF base film will not affect the subsequent frame adhesive bonding process after the curing treatment.
[0024] On the other hand, after conventional curing treatment, environmental testing (such as high-temperature environment testing and high-temperature and high-humidity environment testing) results show that the APF base film is extremely prone to wrinkling and cracking. The applicant found that this is because: as a multilayer film structure, the APF base film is prone to wrinkling and cracking due to the large stress differences between the layers.
[0025] Therefore, it is necessary to design a curing liquid that can be used to harden APF base film, so that the treated APF base film will not affect the subsequent frame adhesive bonding process, and will not easily develop wrinkles and cracks, thus meeting the requirements of actual use.
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0027] The following provides a detailed description of the hardening liquid, APF hardening film, and preparation method of the embodiments of this application.
[0028] This application provides a curing liquid, which, by weight, comprises: 10-20 parts of a first acrylic resin; 2-10 parts of a second acrylic resin; 2-8 parts of a diluent monomer; 0.05-0.5 parts of a filler; 0.5-3 parts of a photoinitiator; and 10-90 parts of a solvent. The first acrylic resin contains hydrophilic groups, and the second acrylic resin contains flexible segments, such as polyether segments, polyester segments, and high molecular weight alkyl C6-C segments. 12 At least one of the long-chain segments; the solvent includes at least one of benzene-based solvents and ether-based solvents.

[0031] In this embodiment, the curing liquid comprises a first acrylic resin and a second acrylic resin. The first acrylic resin contains hydrophilic groups, and the second acrylic resin contains flexible segments.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the filler includes one or more of polymethylsilsesquioxane, silica, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, calcium oxide, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, and strontium sulfate. Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) is a multifunctional silicon-based micropowder, an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer with the general molecular formula (CH3SiO2). 1.5 ) n The particle size of the filler is 0.5-3μm, and can be selected as 1-2μm. For example, the particle size of the filler is 0.5μm, 1μm, 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm or any intermediate value between the two above.

[0046] In this application, the core structural layer of the APF base film is composed of two alternating layers of materials, achieving light reflection in a specific direction through multi-layer periodic arrangement. The working principle of the APF base film is based on the alternating combination of birefringent materials and homogeneous dielectric materials. By controlling the film layer thickness and refractive index difference, light in a specific polarization direction is transmitted, while light in another direction is reflected. Structurally, the APF base film typically consists of hundreds to thousands of ultrathin dielectric layers, each with a thickness of only about 0.1 micrometers. These layered structures form an optical interference effect through periodic arrangement, achieving a theoretical reflectivity of up to 99% in the visible light range (380-780nm).

[0050] In this embodiment, the curing solution of the present application is used for curing treatment, introducing hydrophilic groups and flexible segments to solve the problems of multilayer membranes under high temperature and high humidity conditions, such as the curing treatment problem of APF base membranes. The resulting APF cured membrane has excellent adhesion, a pencil hardness of 500g*HB, a water contact angle ≤90°, and a dyne value of ≥30; the appearance of the membrane surface remains unchanged under high and low temperature conditions as well as high temperature and high humidity conditions.

The APF hardening film includes an APF base film and a hardening layer stacked together. The corresponding preparation method is to coat the surface of the APF base film with a hardening liquid and then cure it.
[0052] In this embodiment, the APF hardening film is formed by coating a layer of hardening liquid onto the surface of the APF base film and then curing it to form a hardened layer.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the curing liquid of this application can be used for surface curing treatment of APF base film. The structure of APF base film can be referred to the film structure in patent CN1170382A-Multilayer Optical Thin Film. In other embodiments, the curing liquid of this application can also be used for surface curing treatment of other multilayer structure films, such as the surface curing treatment of brightness enhancement film and the corresponding brightness enhancement curing film formed by patent CN101189546B-Brightness enhancement film. It can also solve the problem of high temperature and high humidity faced by the multilayer structure film.

[0070] Comparative Example 6 This comparative example provides an APF curing film, the preparation process of which differs from that of Example 1 in that: in this comparative example, (1) by weight, the following raw materials are weighed: 20 parts of first acrylic resin (specifically Kunshan Nairliang L612); 1 part of second acrylic resin (specifically Sartoma CN9001NS); 8 parts of diluent monomer (specifically pentaerythritol hexaacrylate); 0.1 parts of filler (specifically Yuansheng New Material UltraShield 962, polymethyl silsesquioxane spherical powder with an average particle size of 2μm); 1.6 parts of photoinitiator (specifically 1-hydroxycyclohexyl benzophenone); 70 parts of solvent (specifically 35 parts of butyl acetate + 35 parts of propylene glycol methyl ether), and finally an APF curing film is obtained.
[0071] Performance tests were conducted on the APF hardened films of Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-6: 1. Water Contact Angle: A tiny volume (typically 1-5 microliters) of ultrapure water is gently added to a clean, flat surface of the membrane to be tested using a precision syringe. An optical system (such as a camera) captures the lateral profile image of the droplet on the solid surface. The image is then analyzed by software to measure the angle between the gas-liquid interface and the solid-liquid interface, i.e., the contact angle.
[0072] 2. Dyne value: Take a clean hardened membrane, lay it flat on a plane, and use a dyne pen with different values to draw 1-2 cm on the hardened surface. The value of the pen that shrinks by no more than 10% within two seconds is the dyne value of the corresponding membrane material.
[0073] III. Stability: High and Low Temperature Testing: The hardened film is attached to a glass plate using OCA adhesive, and then a specific module is bonded to the surface of the hardened film using frame adhesive. The finished structure is kept in a high-temperature environment of 80±5℃ for 30 minutes, and then the temperature is switched to a low-temperature environment of -40±5℃ for 30 minutes within 5 minutes. This constitutes one cycle, and a total of 240 cycles are performed. After the test, the film is removed and allowed to warm up for 2 hours. The film surface is then observed: the target is no cracking, no peeling, and no whitening. High temperature and high humidity: The hardened film is attached to a glass plate using OCA adhesive, and then a specific module is bonded to the surface of the hardened film using frame adhesive. The finished structure is placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 85℃ and 85%RH for 240 hours. After the test, it is removed and allowed to cool for 2 hours, and the film surface is observed: the target is no cracking, no peeling, and no whitening.
[0074] The results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Performance test results of each APF hardened film
[0075] According to the results in Table 1, the APF hardened films formed in Examples 1-8 by using the hardening solution of this application exhibit excellent surface adhesion, with a water contact angle ≤90° and a dyne value of 30-34. Under high and low temperature conditions and high temperature and high humidity conditions, the film appearance remains unchanged (no peeling, no cracking, no whitening). Furthermore, in Examples 1-7, polymethylsilsesquioxane was used as the filler, while in Example 8, silicon dioxide was used. Since inorganic materials are more prone to diffuse reflection, the total reflection effect of the APF hardened films formed in Examples 1-7 is superior to that of the APF hardened film in Example 8.
[0076] The curing solution used in Comparative Example 1 did not contain the second acrylic resin, and the curing solution used in Comparative Example 3 did not contain any filler. Although the resulting APF cured films had a water contact angle ≤90° and a dyne value greater than 30, their appearance changed under high and low temperature conditions and high temperature and high humidity conditions, indicating poor stability. The curing solution used in Comparative Example 2 did not contain the first acrylic resin, and the resulting APF cured films did not meet the standards for water contact angle and dyne value. Furthermore, the appearance of the films changed (peeling) under high temperature and high humidity conditions.
[0077] Moreover, the appearance changes of Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3 under high and low temperature and high temperature and high humidity conditions are not completely consistent, which indicates that the three raw materials (first acrylic resin, second acrylic resin and filler) have an interactive effect on the overall product performance, rather than a single effect.
[0078] In Comparative Example 4, the curing solution used was not a benzene-based solvent or an ether-based solvent, but an ester-based solvent. Consequently, the resulting APF curing film exhibited peeling and whitening appearance changes, which was due to the severe corrosion of the APF base film by the curing solution.
[0079] In Comparative Examples 5-6, the curing liquid used a relatively larger amount of the second acrylic resin and a relatively larger amount of the first acrylic resin, respectively. The appearance of the resulting APF cured film changed accordingly. This shows that the first acrylic resin and the second acrylic resin need to be used in a specific mass ratio.
[0080] In summary, the hardening liquid, APF hardening film, and preparation method of this application embodiment can be used to harden multilayer structure films such as APF base films with minimal corrosion; the obtained APF hardening film can be directly bonded to the frame adhesive in subsequent processes and is not prone to wrinkles and cracks, thus meeting practical application requirements.
[0081] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
