[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a spectacle lens according to the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. However, the embodiment described below is an example for embodying the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to the following description. Any selected or combined embodiment of the matters described in this specification is also included in the present disclosure. In this specification, preferred definitions can be selected arbitrarily, and combinations of preferred definitions can be considered more preferred. In this specification, the expression "XX to YY" means "XX or more and YY or less." In this specification, for preferred numerical ranges (e.g., ranges of content, etc.), the lower and upper limits described in stages can be independently combined. For example, the description "preferably 10 to 90, more preferably 30 to 60" can be combined with the "preferable lower limit (10)" and the "more preferable upper limit (60)" to form "10 to 60." In this specification, the amount of each component contained in a composition means the total amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified, when multiple substances corresponding to each component are present in the composition. In this specification, "room temperature" refers to the ambient temperature without temperature control such as heating or cooling, and is generally around 20°C, but is not limited to this temperature as it may vary depending on the weather and season. In this specification, the term "solid content" refers to non-volatile content excluding volatile substances such as solvents, and refers to components that remain without volatilizing when the composition is dried, and includes those that are liquid, syrup-like, or waxy at room temperature. In this specification, the term "process" includes not only an independent process but also a process that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes as long as the intended purpose of the process is achieved.

[0011] In this specification, the term "a water-repellent layer formed on a substrate" includes not only "a case where a water-repellent layer is formed directly on a substrate" but also "a case where a hard coat layer, an anti-reflection layer, or the like is formed between the substrate and the water-repellent layer." In this specification, the expression "protective layer formed on a water-repellent layer" includes not only "the case where a protective layer is formed directly on a water-repellent layer" but also "the case where another layer is formed between the water-repellent layer and the protective layer." The protective layer is a layer that is removed when the lens is used as a final eyeglass lens, and as an example, by retaining the protective layer after the lens is completed until it is processed to fit into an eyeglass frame, it can contribute to preventing scratches on the eyeglass lens, improving the ease of printing paint marks, and preventing slippage on the lens surface during processing. In this specification, "urethane resin" refers to polyurethane obtained using only polyether polyol as the polyol component. It should be noted that polyurethane obtained using a polyol having a different skeleton together with a polyether polyol as the polyol component, such as polyurethane obtained using a polyester polyol together with a polyether polyol as the polyol component (polyether polyester polyurethane), is difficult to sufficiently prevent cracking of the water-repellent layer due to the influence of bonds (e.g., ester bonds) contained in the polyol with the other skeleton. Therefore, the polyether polyurethane resin in the present invention refers to polyurethane obtained using only polyether polyol as the polyol component, as described above. In this specification, the term "main component" means that other components may be contained within the scope of the present disclosure, and preferably means a component that accounts for 50 to 100% by mass of the total, more preferably 70 to 100% by mass, and even more preferably 90 to 100% by mass. In this specification, "vapor deposition" includes, for example, vacuum deposition, ion plating, sputtering, etc. In the vacuum deposition, an ion beam assisted method in which an ion beam is irradiated simultaneously during deposition may be used.

[0012] The number average molecular weight, weight average molecular weight, and z average molecular weight in this embodiment are each based on the molecular weight in terms of polymethyl methacrylate measured by gel permeation chromatography, and refer to values ​​measured under the following sample preparation conditions and measurement conditions. Here, the z-average molecular weight means the average molecular weight defined by the following formula (X). z average molecular weight=ΣniMi 3 / ΣniMi 2 (X) (In formula (X), Mi represents the molecular weight of component i in the compound, and ni represents the molar fraction of component i.) <Sample preparation conditions> A predetermined volume of the measurement solvent is added to a predetermined mass of the residue sample that has been dehydrated under a nitrogen stream, and the mixture is gently stirred at room temperature. After visually confirming that the sample has dissolved, the sample is filtered using a 0.45 μm filter to prepare the sample. The measurement sample is subjected to gel permeation chromatography under the following conditions. <Measurement conditions> Apparatus: Gel permeation chromatograph (GPC) Detector: Differential refractive index detector RI (RI-504 manufactured by Showa Denko K.K. (now Resonac Corporation), sensitivity 32) Column: Shodex HFIP-G (6.0 mm x 5 cm, Showa Denko K.K. (now Resonac Co., Ltd.) x 1), Shodex HFIP-606M (6.0 mm x 15 cm, Showa Denko K.K. (now Resonac Co., Ltd.) x 2) Solvent: hexafluoroisopropanol containing 5 mM sodium trifluoroacetate Flow rate: 0.2mL / min Column temperature: 40oC Injection volume: 0.020mL Standard sample: Monodisperse polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) manufactured by Showa Denko K.K. (currently Resonac Corporation) The molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography in this embodiment in terms of polymethyl methacrylate does not necessarily have to coincide with the molecular weight obtained by other calculation methods, which are not particularly limited and include, for example, matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods used in the examples described below.

Although the reason for this effect is not clear, it is presumed that the coatability of the protective layer (results of tack-free test and rubbing test) can be sufficiently improved by the protective layer containing the specified copolymer (1) and urethane resin (2). However, the mechanism is not limited to this.

[0058] The content of the solvent in the protective layer composition is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of solubility, it is preferably 10 to 90% by mass, more preferably 30 to 80% by mass, and particularly preferably 50 to 75% by mass.

[0059] The thickness t of the protective layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 100,000 nm, more preferably 1 to 50,000 nm, and particularly preferably 1 to 30,000 nm.

[0060] <Hard coat layer> By providing a hard coat layer, it is possible to impart scratch resistance (abrasion resistance) to the eyeglass lens and also to increase the durability (strength) of the eyeglass lens. For details about the hard coat layer, see, for example, paragraphs 0025 to 0028 and 0030 of JP2012-128135A. The hard coat layer is, for example, a cured film made of a curable composition containing an inorganic oxide and a silicon compound. The curable composition preferably further contains a polyfunctional epoxy compound.

[0061] The inorganic oxide is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, tungsten oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, beryllium oxide, and antimony oxide. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, silicon oxide is preferred. Colloidal silica may also be used as the inorganic oxide.

[0062] The content of the inorganic oxide is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 80 mass %, more preferably 20 to 70 mass %, and particularly preferably 25 to 50 mass %, of the solid content of the curable composition.

[0063] The silicon compound is, for example, a silicon compound having a hydrolyzable group such as an alkoxy group.The silicon compound is preferably a silane coupling agent having an organic group bonded to a silicon atom and a hydrolyzable group.The organic group bonded to a silicon atom is preferably an organic group having a functional group such as an epoxy group such as a glycidoxy group, a vinyl group, a methacryloxy group, an acryloxy group, a mercapto group, an amino group, or a phenyl group, and more preferably an organic group having an epoxy group.In addition, the silicon compound may have an alkyl group bonded to silicon.

[0064] The commercially available silane coupling agent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the trade names KBM-303, KBM-402, KBM-403, KBE402, KBE403, KBM-1403, KBM-502, KBM-503, KBE-502, KBE-503, KBM-5103, KBM-602, KBM-603, KBM-903, KBE-903, KBE-9103, KBM-573, KBM-575, KBM-9659, KBE-585, KBM-802, KBM-803, KBE-846, and KBE-9007 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0065] The content of the silicon compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 to 90 mass %, more preferably 30 to 80 mass %, and particularly preferably 50 to 75 mass %, of the solid content of the curable composition.

[0066] The polyfunctional epoxy compound is a polyfunctional epoxy compound containing two or more epoxy groups in one molecule, preferably a polyfunctional epoxy compound containing two or three epoxy groups in one molecule. Commercially available polyfunctional epoxy compounds are not particularly limited, and examples include EX-201, EX-211, EX-212, EX-252, EX-313, EX-314, EX-321, EX-411, EX-421, EX-512, EX-521, EX-611, EX-612, EX-614, and EX-614B from the "Denacol" series manufactured by Nagase ChemteX Corporation. These compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0067] The content of the polyfunctional epoxy compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0 to 50 mass %, more preferably 10 to 40 mass %, and particularly preferably 15 to 30 mass %, of the solid content of the curable composition.

[0068] The above-mentioned curable composition can be prepared by mixing optional components such as an organic solvent, a leveling agent, and a curing catalyst, in addition to the components described above, as needed. The hard coat layer can be formed by applying a curable composition to a substrate and then subjecting it to a curing treatment (thermal curing, photocuring, etc.). There are no particular limitations on the means for applying the curable composition, and commonly used methods such as dipping, spin coating, and spraying can be used. For curable compositions containing a polyfunctional epoxy compound, the curing treatment is usually carried out by heating. The heat curing treatment can be carried out, for example, by placing the lens coated with the curable composition in an environment with an ambient temperature of 50 to 150°C for about 30 minutes to 3 hours.

[0069] <Underlayer> A primer layer may be formed between the lens substrate and the hard coat layer to improve adhesion. For details about the primer layer, see, for example, paragraphs 0029 to 0030 of JP-A No. 2012-128135. The underlayer can be formed from, for example, an aqueous resin composition containing at least one type of resin particles selected from the group consisting of polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, and epoxy resin.

[0070] As the aqueous resin composition, commercially available aqueous polyurethanes can be used as they are, or diluted with an aqueous solvent as needed. Commercially available aqueous polyurethanes are not particularly limited, and examples include the "Evaphanol" series (trade name) manufactured by Nicca Chemical Co., Ltd., the "Superflex" series (trade name) manufactured by Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd., the "Adeka Bontiter" series (trade name) manufactured by ADEKA Corporation, the "Olestar" series (trade name) manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., the "Bondic" series and the "Hydran" series (trade name) manufactured by Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc., the "Impranil" series (trade name) manufactured by Bayer, the "Sofranate" series (trade name) manufactured by Nippon Soflan Co., Ltd., the "Poise" series (trade name) manufactured by Kao Corporation, the "Sunprene" series (trade name) manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd., the "Izelax" series (trade name) manufactured by Hodogaya Chemical Co., Ltd., and the "Neoletz" series (trade name) manufactured by Zeneka Corporation. These polyurethanes may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0071] The underlayer can be formed, for example, by applying the above-mentioned aqueous resin composition to the surface of the substrate and drying it.

[0072] <Functional layer> The functional layer for imparting the above-mentioned reflection spectral characteristics may be provided directly on the surface of the lens substrate, or may be provided indirectly via another layer. Examples of the functional layer include an antireflection layer, an ultraviolet absorbing layer, an infrared absorbing layer, a photochromic layer, an antistatic layer, and an antifogging layer. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Known techniques related to spectacle lenses can be applied to these functional layers. Among these, it is preferable to have an antireflection layer.

[0073] Furthermore, it is possible to form an additional layer on the functional layer. Examples of such layers include an antifouling layer, an antifogging layer, a polarizing layer, a light control layer, etc. Known techniques can be applied to any of these functional layers without any restrictions.

[0074] (Anti-reflection layer) There are no particular limitations on the antireflection layer, as long as it can impart reflective spectral characteristics to the spectacle lens surface having the antireflection layer. The antireflection layer has low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers alternately arranged (formed by sequential lamination) by, for example, a vacuum deposition method. The number of layers in the antireflection layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 4 to 11 layers, more preferably 5 to 8 layers. More specifically, the antireflection layer can be formed by determining the film thickness of each layer through optical simulation using a known method based on the refractive index of the film materials for forming the high-refractive index layer and the wavelength of light to be reflected or the wavelength of light to be reduced in reflection, and sequentially stacking the high-refractive index layer and the low-refractive index layer under film formation conditions determined to achieve the determined film thickness. The film formation material may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or an organic-inorganic composite material, with inorganic materials being preferred from the standpoints of film formation and ease of availability. By adjusting the type of film formation material, film thickness, stacking order, etc., the reflection spectral characteristics for each of blue light, ultraviolet light, green light, and red light can be controlled.

[0075] The refractive index of the low refractive index layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.35 to 1.80, more preferably 1.45 to 1.50 at a wavelength of 500 to 550 nm. The low refractive index layer may be made of one or a mixture of two or more inorganic oxides or fluorides selected from the group consisting of silicon oxide (also known as silica; for example, SiO2), magnesium fluoride (for example, MgF2), and barium fluoride (for example, BaF2), and is preferably made of silicon oxide. In the above examples, for convenience, oxides and fluorides are shown in terms of stoichiometric composition, but those in which oxygen or fluorine is deficient or in excess of the stoichiometric composition can also be used as high refractive index or low refractive index materials.

[0076] The refractive index of the high refractive index layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.90 to 2.60, and more preferably 2.00 to 2.40, at a wavelength of 500 to 550 nm. The high refractive index layer is made of, for example, an inorganic oxide. The inorganic oxide used in the high refractive index layer is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide (also called zirconia; for example, ZrO2), tantalum oxide (Ta2O5), yttrium oxide (for example, YO3), titanium oxide (for example, TiO2), niobium oxide (for example, Nb2O5), hafnium oxide (for example, HfO2), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and more preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide and tantalum oxide.

[0077] The thickness of each layer included in the antireflection layer can be determined by optical simulation as described above. The layer structure of the antireflection layer can be, for example, as follows, from the lens substrate side to the outermost surface side of the lens: A structure in which the layers are stacked in the following order: first layer (low refractive index layer), second layer (high refractive index layer), third layer (low refractive index layer), fourth layer (high refractive index layer), fifth layer (low refractive index layer), sixth layer (high refractive index layer), and seventh layer (low refractive index layer); Examples of such a structure include a first layer (high refractive index layer), a second layer (low refractive index layer), a third layer (high refractive index layer), a fourth layer (low refractive index layer), a fifth layer (high refractive index layer), and a sixth layer (low refractive index layer) stacked in this order. Examples of preferred combinations of low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers include a combination of a coating primarily made of silicon oxide and a coating primarily made of zirconium oxide, and a combination of a coating primarily made of silicon oxide and a coating primarily made of niobium oxide.Preferred examples of antireflection layers include an antireflection layer that includes at least one laminate structure in which these two coating layers are adjacent to each other.

[0078] Preferably, each of the above layers is a coating containing the aforementioned high refractive index material or low refractive index material as a main component. Such a coating can be formed by depositing a film using a film-forming material (e.g., a vapor deposition source) containing the above material as a main component. The main components of the film-forming material are the same as those described above. The coating and film-forming material may contain trace amounts of impurities that are inevitably mixed in, and may also contain other components, such as other inorganic substances or known additive components that play a role in assisting film formation, to the extent that the function performed by the main component is not impaired. The film can be formed by a known film-forming method, and from the viewpoint of ease of film formation, it is preferably formed by vapor deposition.

[0079] In addition to the high-refractive-index layer and the low-refractive-index layer described above, the antireflection layer may also include, at any position on the antireflection layer, a coating containing a conductive oxide as its main component, preferably one or more conductive oxide layers formed by vapor deposition using a vapor deposition source containing a conductive oxide as its main component. The inclusion of the conductive oxide layer can prevent the eyeglass lens from becoming electrically charged and attracting dust and dirt. The conductive oxide is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the transparency of the spectacle lens, preferred examples include indium oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, composite oxides thereof, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, tin oxide and indium tin oxide (ITO) are more preferable from the viewpoints of transparency and conductivity.

[0080] [Method of manufacturing eyeglass lenses] The method for manufacturing a spectacle lens according to this embodiment includes a water-repellent layer forming step of forming a water-repellent layer on a substrate, and a protective layer forming step of forming a protective layer on the water-repellent layer using a protective layer composition, and may further include other steps as necessary.

[0081] <Water-repellent layer formation process> The water-repellent layer can be obtained by, for example, vapor deposition or coating of a water-repellent layer composition, but is preferably obtained by vapor deposition.

[0082] The deposition is carried out, for example, by vacuum deposition. The heating temperature during vacuum deposition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 400 to 1000°C, more preferably 550 to 1000°C, still more preferably 600 to 1000°C, and particularly preferably 650 to 1000°C. The heating temperature for vapor deposition refers to the temperature at which pellets or the like impregnated with the water-repellent layer composition are heated during vapor deposition. -2 It is preferable to carry out the deposition in a deposition space controlled to a vacuum of 0.1 Pa or less.

[0083] Heating during vapor deposition can be performed using, for example, a halogen heater, resistance heating, or an electron gun, but among these, using an electron gun for heating and vapor deposition allows for the formation of a highly accurate thin film. The power of the electron gun varies depending on the material used, the vapor deposition device, the degree of vacuum, and the irradiation area, but the preferred conditions are an acceleration voltage of about 6 kV and an applied current of about 5 to 40 mA.

[0084] The deposition time is not particularly limited, but is preferably within 1000 seconds, more preferably within 800 seconds, and particularly preferably within 600 seconds. By depositing within such a time, even if a water-repellent material containing multiple components with slightly different deposition start temperatures is used, the components can be deposited almost simultaneously, and a uniform film can be obtained.

[0085] The deposition is preferably carried out using a porous material impregnated with the water-repellent layer composition. As the porous material, it is preferable to use a sintered filter made by sintering a fused silica porous body or a metal powder with high thermal conductivity such as copper or stainless steel. From the viewpoint of obtaining an appropriate deposition rate, the mesh size of the sintered filter is suitably set to 40 to 200 μm, preferably 80 to 120 μm. Alternatively, a pellet in which steel wool is filled in a copper container can also be suitably used. The water-repellent layer composition may be used as it is or in the form of a solution by impregnating the porous material.

[0086] To form a water-repellent layer on a spectacle lens by coating, a method can be employed in which a water-repellent layer composition is dissolved in an organic solvent and applied to the surface of the spectacle lens. The coating method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include dipping, spin coating, spraying, flow coating, doctor blade coating, roll coating, gravure coating, curtain flow coating, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0087] After the formation of the water-repellent layer, a heating step may be performed. In the heating step, a reaction between the water-repellent layer composition and the spectacle lens surface is promoted. By carrying out this heat treatment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in water repellency due to physical and chemical stresses in daily use, such as wiping the spectacle lens surface or the adhesion of detergent, and thereby improve durability.

[0088] The temperature for the heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 40 to 90°C, more preferably 50 to 80°C, and particularly preferably 55 to 70°C. The time for the heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 to 10 hours.

[0089] <Protective layer formation process> The protective layer can be obtained, for example, by coating a protective layer composition.

[0090] To form a protective layer on a spectacle lens by coating, a method can be employed in which a protective layer composition is dissolved in an organic solvent and then coated on the surface of the spectacle lens. The coating method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include dipping, spin coating, spraying, flow coating, doctor blade coating, roll coating, gravure coating, curtain flow coating, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0091] After forming the protective layer, a heating step may be performed. In the heating step, a reaction between the protective layer composition and the spectacle lens surface is promoted. By carrying out this heat treatment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in protective performance due to physical and chemical stresses in daily use, such as wiping the spectacle lens surface or the adhesion of detergent, thereby improving durability.

[0092] The temperature for the heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 40 to 90°C, more preferably 50 to 80°C, and particularly preferably 55 to 70°C. The time for the heat treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 10 hours.

[0096] [Preparation of Water-Repellent Layer Composition] A 20% by mass solution of a composition containing 100% by mass of water-repellent compound 1 (a perfluoropolyether group-containing silane compound) was prepared and impregnated into a metal pellet containing steel wool in a copper container so that the solid content after solvent evaporation would be 15 mg. After impregnation with the 20% by mass solution, the pellet was heated in an oven set at 80°C for 20 minutes to evaporate the solvent and leave a solid content of 15 mg.

[0101] [Hard coat layer thickness measurement] The thickness of the hard coat layer was measured by the following method. <Hard coat layer thickness measurement> The reflectance spectrum of a lens substrate with one hard coat layer formed thereon was measured using a spectrophotometer (Olympus USPM-RU), and the film thickness of the hard coat film was calculated from the measured reflectance spectrum and the refractive index of the hard coat film. Here, to confirm the film thickness distribution, the film thickness was measured at three points: the top, center, and bottom of the lens substrate during the pulling process. The top of the lens substrate was located 30 mm above the center of the lens, and the bottom of the lens was located 30 mm below the center of the lens.

[0102] [Example 1] A glass container was charged with 90 parts by weight of colloidal silica (Snowtex-40, Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 81.6 parts by weight of the organosilicon compound methyltrimethoxysilane, 176 parts by weight of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 2.0 parts by weight of 0.5N hydrochloric acid, 20 parts by weight of acetic acid, and 90 parts by weight of water.

To this solution, 120 parts by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 120 parts by weight of n-butyl alcohol, 16 parts by weight of aluminum acetylacetone, 0.2 parts by weight of a silicone surfactant, and 0.1 parts by weight of an ultraviolet absorber were added, stirred at room temperature for 8 hours, and then aged at room temperature for 24 hours to obtain a coating solution. A plastic lens substrate (manufactured by HOYA Corporation, product name EYAS, prescription S 0.00, C 0.00, refractive index 1.60, colorless lens) pretreated with an alkaline aqueous solution (however, the lens substrate specified in the axis misalignment test was used only in the axis misalignment test) was immersed in the above-mentioned coating solution, and after immersion, the lens substrate was pulled up at a rate of 20 cm / min and heated at 120°C for 2 hours to form a cured film, forming a hard coat layer 3±1 μm thick. Next, a 600 nm thick antireflection layer was formed on the hard coat layer by vacuum deposition, consisting of nine alternating layers of silica and zirconia. After the deposition of the anti-reflection layer, an ion gun treatment was carried out to activate the surface under the following conditions. Accelerating voltage: 500V Accelerating current: 230mA Inlet gas: oxygen (20sccm) Ion irradiation time: 30 seconds

[0103] The dome containing the lens substrate was then moved to a chamber where the water-repellent layer composition was deposited. A pellet impregnated with the water-repellent layer composition was placed on a halogen heater heating table in the chamber. The pellet was heated with the halogen heater, and the water-repellent layer composition in the pellet was deposited. The temperature reached during heating was approximately 600°C.

[0104] Furthermore, the eyeglass lens was immersed in the prepared protective layer composition 1, and after completion of the immersion, the lens substrate was pulled up at a pulling rate of 20 cm / min and heated at 120°C for 2 hours to form a protective layer with a thickness of 6000 nm.
