Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate.
Background Art
[0002] Base materials made of plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate resin are excellent in transparency, impact resistance, lightweight, and easy to process, so they are used in various applications instead of glass base materials.
[0003] However, since plastic base materials may be inferior in surface properties such as hardness and scratch resistance compared to glass base materials, a hard coat layer is provided on the plastic base material surface to improve surface properties such as hardness and scratch resistance.
[0004] Plastic base materials cannot sufficiently cut ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight and the like, and an ultraviolet absorber is often blended to prevent deterioration due to ultraviolet rays. For example, in a display device, an ultraviolet absorber is generally added to an optical film such as a polarizing plate protection film to prevent discoloration of these optical films. In addition, various organic substances such as fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials are used for light-emitting elements of organic EL displays, and an ultraviolet absorber is added to a surface film of the display or the like to prevent deterioration of these organic substances due to ultraviolet rays. (Patent Document 1)
[0005] In addition, it has been pointed out that light in the short wavelength region of visible light (generally 380 to 495 nm), so-called blue light, emitted from sunlight or an image display device such as a smartphone damages the human body (especially the eyeball).
[0006] Patent Document 2 proposes a hard coat layer containing a yellow pigment, and it is described that the transmittance of light at 440 nm is 80% or less.
[0007] Methods of incorporating a blue light cut agent have also been proposed. In Patent Document 3, an ultraviolet curable hard coat resin composition having blue light cut properties has been proposed, and it is described that the composition absorbs light around 440 nm.
[0008] However, a cured product obtained by curing a composition containing a compound that absorbs light at 440 nm has a strong yellowish tint, which is the complementary color in that wavelength range, and is not suitable for display applications. In a hard coat layer containing a blue light cut agent with low pigment and solvent solubility, there is a problem that the haze value increases. Also, for display applications, it is necessary to have light resistance, that is, no change in ultraviolet absorption ability even when exposed to light for a long time.
[0009] In Patent Document 4, an optical film with a blue light shielding rate of 30% or more has been proposed, but the 410 nm transmittance is large, and the blue light cut property cannot be said to be sufficient.
[0010] Furthermore, the inventions described in Documents 1 to 4 have a problem that since a material that absorbs ultraviolet rays is mixed with an ultraviolet curable compound such as an acrylate compound, it is difficult to cure by ultraviolet rays, and the surface hardness and scratch resistance of the obtained cured product are insufficient. That is, the conventionally proposed optical films have insufficient surface scratch resistance, and further hard coat properties are required for use in display applications.
[0011] Generally, it is known to use polyfunctional acrylate compounds such as pentaerythritol triacrylate and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate to enhance scratch resistance. However, when using polyfunctional acrylate compounds, the curl of the cured product becomes large, making it difficult to use in display applications. Therefore, there is a demand for a laminate having a hard coat layer with low curl property that can be used in display applications and excellent blue light cut performance and scratch resistance.
[0012] On the one hand, in recent years, in the field of display applications, in addition to the conventionally widely used liquid crystal displays (LCDs), various other displays have been developed. For example, organic electroluminescence (EL) displays have been rapidly spreading.
[0013] In a general organic EL display, a polarizing plate is laminated. The polarizing plate is mostly made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which is water-soluble for easy adaptation to liquid crystals, and is manufactured by stretching it into a film shape after dyeing with iodine. Since the PVA polarizing plate has hygroscopicity, a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film which is excellent in non-combustibility, appearance (transparency), and insulation as a protective film is used.
[0014] When adhering a polarizing plate made of PVA and a TAC film, it is necessary to saponify the surface of the TAC film with caustic alkali and hydrolyze a part of the acetyl group (-O=COCH group) on the surface of the TAC film into a hydroxyl group (-OH) which is a hydrophilic group.
[0015] The saponification treatment method of the TAC film is carried out by immersing the TAC film in an alkaline aqueous solution such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). Therefore, when saponifying a laminate provided with a hard coat layer having a blue light cut function on the TAC film, elution of an ultraviolet absorber may occur, causing an increase in ultraviolet transmittance and elution (contamination) of the ultraviolet cut agent into the saponification treatment solution. In addition, since the TAC film has a high moisture permeability, there is a problem of causing deterioration under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Therefore, a polarizing plate using a resin film with a lower moisture permeability than the TAC film has been proposed. However, since the same production line as that of the TAC film is used, similar to the case of the TAC film, elution (contamination) of the ultraviolet cut agent into the above-mentioned saponification treatment solution may occur.
[0016] A laminate (a laminate having a hard coat layer with low curl properties and blue light cut performance) that can be used for display applications, which is excellent in surface hardness, scratch resistance, and low haze, and further has a suppressed yellowness, and has excellent light resistance and elution resistance, has not yet existed.

Specifically, it preferably contains at least one selected from trimethylolpropane di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolethane di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, and dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate.
[0043] Urethane (meth)acrylate is roughly classified into a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate (a1x) having 4 to 15 (meth)acryloyl groups and a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 15,000, and a polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate (a1y) other than (a1x). Among these, the polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate (a1x) having 4 to 15 (meth)acryloyl groups and a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 15,000 is preferable. By including (a1x), a laminate with a high elastic modulus of the hard coat layer of the laminate and further excellent low curl property can be formed.

The weight average molecular weight is preferably 1,000 to 5,000. By using (a1x) within the above weight average molecular weight range, a laminate excellent in surface hardness and scratch resistance and further excellent in low curl property can be formed. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) is the weight average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement. The weight average molecular weight can be measured by the method described in the section of [Examples].
[0046] The manufacturing method of the polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate (a1x) is shown below. This is an example and is not limited thereto. For example, the polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate (a1x) can be obtained by stirring a polyisocyanate and a hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylate in the presence of a suitable urethanization catalyst under an oxygen atmosphere at 60 to 100°C for 4 to 8 hours. Specific examples of the urethanization catalyst include copper naphthenate, cobalt naphthenate, zinc naphthenate, dibutyltin dilaurate, triethylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 2,6,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and the like. Among these, dibutyltin dilaurate and the like are particularly preferred. As the polyisocyanate and the hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylate, the same ones as those described in the description of the urethane (meth)acrylate can be used.
[0047] The number of (meth)acryloyl groups and the weight average molecular weight can be adjusted by the combination of a polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a hydroxyl group-containing mono(meth)acrylate or poly(meth)acrylate.

[0053] <Ultraviolet absorber (B)> The ultraviolet absorber (B) is a triazine compound that absorbs light with a wavelength of 400 to 420 nm, and preferably has an absorbance of 0.1 or more over the entire region at a wavelength of 400 to 420 nm. Furthermore, it more preferably has a structure having 1 to 3 naphthalene rings directly bonded to the triazine ring, and at least one of the naphthalene rings has a hydroxyl group at the 2-position. Due to the action of the naphthalene ring directly bonded to the triazine ring, it can absorb light in the short-wavelength visible light region of about 400 to 420 nm in addition to the ultraviolet region of less than 400 nm, which is preferable. In addition, an ultraviolet absorber having 1 to 3 naphthalene rings directly bonded to the triazine ring, and at least one of the naphthalene rings having a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, has an unexpected effect that desired wavelength absorption can be achieved with a smaller amount of addition than in the past, and a cured product with suppressed yellowness can be obtained.
