Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a polarizing film. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, polyvinyl alcohol-based films that have been dyed (containing dichroic substances such as iodine or dichroic dyes) have been used as polarizers in various image display devices such as liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays because they possess both high transmittance and high polarization. These polarizers are manufactured by subjecting the polyvinyl alcohol-based film to various treatments such as dyeing, crosslinking, and stretching in a bath (treatment bath), and then drying it. Furthermore, polarizers are usually used as polarizing films (polarizing plates) in which an optical film such as triacetylcellulose is bonded to one or both sides using an adhesive.

[0003] Furthermore, in the polarizing film described above, there is a known configuration in which an optical film is bonded to the easily adhesive layer surface of a polarizer with an easily adhesive layer via an adhesive layer (Patent Documents 1-5). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-160403 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-160408 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-160391 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-39268 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-39269 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] However, in a polarizing film in which an optical film is bonded to the easily adhesive layer surface of a polarizer with an easily adhesive layer as described above, and at least one resin film selected from the group consisting of polyester resin, (meth)acrylic resin, polystyrene resin, and polycarbonate resin is used as the optical film, and furthermore, when the polarizing film is manufactured using the easily adhesive composition and adhesive composition specifically disclosed in Patent Documents 1-5, it has been found that during the manufacturing process of the polarizing film, the components of the adhesive composition separate due to the adhesive composition absorbing moisture from the air or moisture present in the easily adhesive layer seeping into the adhesive composition, resulting in uneven refractive index within the surface of the adhesive layer, and the resulting polarizing film is prone to defects in appearance.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a polarizing film having a good appearance even when an optical film is bonded to the easily adhesive layer surface of a polarizer with an easily adhesive layer via an adhesive layer, and at least one resin film selected from the group consisting of polyester resin, (meth)acrylic resin, polystyrene resin, and polycarbonate resin is used as the optical film. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] That is, the present invention is a polarizing film in which an optical film is laminated via an adhesive layer on the easily adhesive layer surface of a polarizer with an easily adhesive layer. The optical film is at least one resin film selected from the group consisting of a polyester-based resin, a (meth)acrylic-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, and a polycarbonate-based resin. The adhesive layer is a layer formed from an adhesive composition. When water is added to the adhesive composition, with the mass part of water causing the adhesive composition to become turbid being X with respect to 100 mass parts of the adhesive composition, the adhesive composition satisfies the condition that the turbidity water absorption rate (%) represented by formula (1): turbidity water absorption rate (%) = {X / (100 + X)} × 100 is 2.8 or more. The easily adhesive layer is a layer formed from an easily adhesive composition. The easily adhesive composition contains water, a cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative, and a compound represented by general formula (1): [Chemical formula] (In general formula (1), X is a functional group containing a reactive group, and R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group which may have a substituent. The reactive group contained in X is at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of a vinyl group, a (meth)acrylic group, a styryl group, a (meth)acrylamide group, a vinyl ether group, an epoxy group, an oxetane group, and a mercapto group.) The present invention relates to a polarizing film containing such a compound.

[0008] Further, the present invention relates to the polarizing film, wherein it is preferable that the adhesive composition satisfies the condition that the turbidity water absorption rate is 3.1 or more.

[0009] Further, the present invention relates to the polarizing film, wherein it is preferable that the adhesive composition satisfies the condition that the turbidity water absorption rate is 3.4 or more.

[0010] Further, the present invention relates to the polarizing film, wherein it is preferable that the adhesive layer is a layer formed from an active energy ray curable adhesive composition.

[0011] The present invention also relates to the polarizing film, wherein the active energy ray-curable adhesive composition preferably contains a (meth)acrylamide derivative containing a cyclic ether group and a (meth)acrylate having a hydrocarbon group with 10 or more carbon atoms.

[0012] The present invention also relates to the polarizing film, wherein the proportion of the total of the (meth)acrylamide derivative containing a cyclic ether group in the total of the solid content of the adhesive composition and the solid content of the easy-adhesion composition is preferably 65% by mass or more.

Effects of the Invention

[0013] [[ID=I0]] In the polarizing film of the present invention, an optical film is bonded to the easy-adhesion layer surface of a polarizer with an easy-adhesion layer via an adhesive layer. Even when at least one resin film selected from the group consisting of a polyester resin, a (meth)acrylic resin, a polystyrene resin, and a polycarbonate resin is used as the optical film, the adhesive composition in contact with the easy-adhesion layer surface is less likely to cause separation of components due to moisture, and thus has a good appearance.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] In the polarizing film of the present invention, an optical film is bonded to the easy-adhesion layer surface of a polarizer with an easy-adhesion layer via an adhesive layer.

[0015] <Optical Film> The optical film is at least one resin film selected from the group consisting of a polyester resin, a (meth)acrylic resin, a polystyrene resin, and a polycarbonate resin.

[0016] The optical film can be a transparent protective film having the above-described configuration used in various image display devices, and may contain any suitable additives such as an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, a lubricant, a plasticizer, a release agent, an anti-coloring agent, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a pigment, and a coloring agent.

[0017] Furthermore, the optical film may be an optical film having ultraviolet absorbing properties, from the viewpoint of protecting polarizers, liquid crystals, etc., from ultraviolet rays when the polarizing film is incorporated into various image display devices. In this case, the transmittance for 380 nm light is preferably 20% or less, and more preferably 10% or less. To impart ultraviolet absorbing properties to the optical film, for example, the material constituting the optical film may have ultraviolet absorbing properties, an ultraviolet absorber may be added to the material constituting the optical film, or a surface treatment layer containing an ultraviolet absorber may be laminated on the surface of the optical film.

[0018] Examples of the aforementioned ultraviolet absorbers include conventionally known oxybenzophenone compounds, benzotriazole compounds, salicylate ester compounds, benzophenone compounds, cyanoacrylate compounds, nickel complex salt compounds, and triazine compounds. Examples of commercially available products include Adeka Stab LA-46 (manufactured by ADEKA), Adeka Stab LA-F70 (manufactured by ADEKA), KEMISORB102 (manufactured by Chemipro Chemical Co., Ltd.), Chiguard 5405 (manufactured by Chitec Technology), Tinuvin 405 (manufactured by BASF), Tinuvin 460 (manufactured by BASF), Tinuvin 479 (manufactured by BASF), and Tinuvin 1600 (manufactured by BASF).

[0020] The optical film exhibits superior moisture barrier properties compared to cellulose ester resins such as triacetylcellulose, and its water absorption rate is typically 1% or less, preferably 0.6% or less. The water absorption rate was measured according to the following procedure in accordance with JIS K7209 (2000). A 100 mm × 100 mm test piece (film) was dried in a 50°C oven for 24 hours, cooled to room temperature in a desiccator, and its mass was measured to determine the initial mass (m1). Subsequently, the test piece was immersed in distilled water for 24 hours to allow it to absorb water, then removed, the surface moisture was wiped off, and the mass was measured within 1 minute to determine the mass after water absorption (m2). The water absorption rate can be calculated using the formula ((m2-m1) / m1) × 100.

[0021] From the viewpoint of impact resistance, the optical film is preferably made of a polycarbonate resin, and from the viewpoint of transparency, the polycarbonate resin is preferably made of general formula (2): [ka] It is more preferable to contain a structural unit derived from a dihydroxy compound represented by . Examples of such dihydroxy compounds include isosorbide, isomannide, and isoidet, which are stereoisomers. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0022] The polycarbonate resin may further contain structural units derived from dihydroxy compounds other than the dihydroxy compound represented by general formula (2) (hereinafter also simply referred to as "other dihydroxy compounds"). By further containing structural units derived from dihydroxy compounds other than the dihydroxy compound represented by general formula (2), it is possible to improve ease of processing, heat resistance, impact resistance, etc.

[0023] Other dihydroxy compounds include, for example, alicyclic dihydroxy compounds, aliphatic dihydroxy compounds, oxyalkylene glycols, aromatic dihydroxy compounds, and diols having a cyclic ether structure.

[0024] The alicyclic dihydroxy compound is not particularly limited, but compounds containing a five-membered ring structure or a six-membered ring structure are preferred. The six-membered ring structure may also be fixed in a chair or boat shape by covalent bonds. The heat resistance of the resulting polycarbonate can be increased by having a five-membered ring or a six-membered ring structure for the alicyclic dihydroxy compound. Examples of the alicyclic dihydroxy compound include cyclohexanedimethanol, tricyclodecanedimethanol, adamantanediol, and pentacyclopentadecanedimethanol. From the viewpoint of availability and ease of handling, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, 1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol, and tricyclodecanedimethanol are preferred.

[0025] Examples of the aliphatic dihydroxy compounds include ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,5-heptanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol.

[0029] The above-mentioned turbidity absorption rate is preferably 3.1 or higher, more preferably 3.4 or higher, from the viewpoint of preventing separation of components of the adhesive composition due to moisture and improving adhesion between the optical film and the polarizer, and from the viewpoint of the reliability of the polarizing film, it is preferably 15.0 or lower, and more preferably 12.0 or lower.

[0030] The adhesive composition can be applied without particular limitations as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned conditions for turbidity water absorption, as the components are less likely to separate due to moisture.

Examples of resins constituting the thermosetting adhesive composition include polyvinyl alcohol resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester, urethane resin, acrylic resin, urea resin, melamine resin, phenol resin, etc., and a curing agent may be used in combination as needed. Polyvinyl alcohol resin and epoxy resin are more preferably used as resins constituting the thermosetting adhesive composition. Active energy ray curable adhesive compositions can be broadly classified into electron beam curable, ultraviolet curable, and visible light curable based on the active energy ray. Furthermore, they can be classified into radical polymerizable adhesive compositions and cationic polymerizable adhesive compositions based on the curing method. In the present invention, active energy rays with a wavelength range of 10 nm to less than 380 nm are referred to as ultraviolet rays, and active energy rays with a wavelength range of 380 nm to 800 nm are referred to as visible light.

[0031] The adhesive composition is preferably curable by active energy rays, and more preferably curable by visible light using visible light in the range of 380 nm to 450 nm, from the viewpoint of being able to cure simultaneously with the easily bondable composition in the production of the polarizing film and from the viewpoint of the UV absorption properties of the resin film.

Compounds represented by are exemplified. The number of carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, and / or alkoxyalkyl group is not particularly limited, but for example, those having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are exemplified. Further, examples of the cyclic heterocyclic ring that R 2 and R 3 may form include, for example, N-acryloylmorpholine.

[0034] Specific examples of compounds represented by formula (3) above include, for example, N-alkyl group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivatives such as N-methyl(meth)acrylamide, N,N-dimethyl(meth)acrylamide, N,N-diethyl(meth)acrylamide, N-isopropyl(meth)acrylamide, N-butyl(meth)acrylamide, and N-hexyl(meth)acrylamide; N-hydroxyalkyl group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivatives such as N-methylol(meth)acrylamide, N-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylamide, and N-methylol-N-propane(meth)acrylamide; and N-alkoxy group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivatives such as N-methoxymethylacrylamide and N-ethoxymethylacrylamide.

[0051] The amount of the photopolymerization initiator can be set as appropriate, for example, it is usually 20 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the radical polymerizable compound. Preferably, the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is 1 to 15 parts by mass, and more preferably 3 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the radical polymerizable compound.

[0052] Furthermore, polymerization initiators may be added as needed. Examples of polymerization initiators include triethylamine, diethylamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, ethanolamine, 4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid, methyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, and isoamyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate.

[0053] Furthermore, when using a radical polymerizable compound having an active methylene group, it is preferable to use it in combination with a radical polymerization initiator that has a hydrogen abstraction effect. With this configuration, the adhesion of the adhesive layer of the polarizing film is significantly improved, especially in high humidity environments or immediately after removal from water (non-dry state). Examples of the radical polymerization initiator with a hydrogen abstraction effect include thioxanthone-based radical polymerization initiators and benzophenone-based radical polymerization initiators. The radical polymerization initiator is preferably a thioxanthone-based radical polymerization initiator. Examples of thioxanthone-based radical polymerization initiators include compounds represented by the above general formula (4).

[0054] The adhesive composition may contain various additives as other optional components, as long as they do not impair the objectives and effects of the present invention. Examples of such additives include polymers such as chlorinated polyolefins, epoxy resins, polyamides, polyamide-imides, polyurethanes, polybutadienes, polychloroprenes, polyethers, polyesters, styrene-butadiene block copolymers, petroleum resins, xylene resins, ketone resins, and cellulose resins; oligomers such as acrylic oligomers, fluorine oligomers, silicone oligomers, and polysulfide oligomers; sensitizers, photoacid generators, photobase generators, silane coupling agents, polyrotaxanes, organometallic compounds, polymerization inhibitors, bubble inhibitors, surfactants, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, inorganic fillers, pigments, dyes, and the like.

[0055] <Polarizer with easy-adhesion layer> The polarizer with the easy-adhesion layer has the easy-adhesion composition coated on the bonding surface of the polarizer (the bonding surface with the optical film).

[0056] <Easy adhesion layer> The easy-adhesion composition that forms the easy-adhesion layer comprises water, a cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative, and general formula (1): [ka] (In general formula (1), X is a functional group containing a reactive group, and R 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may have substituents, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group. The reactive group contained in X is at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of vinyl group, (meth)acrylic group, styryl group, (meth)acrylamide group, vinyl ether group, epoxy group, oxetane group, and mercapto group. The compound contains the compound represented by ).

[0057] The water is a medium in the easy-adhesion composition, and its content can be appropriately set depending on the coating conditions. Typically, it is about 20 to 70% by mass in the easy-adhesion composition, and preferably about 30 to 60% by mass.

[0058] The cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivatives include heterocyclic (meth)acrylamide derivatives in which the nitrogen atom of the (meth)acrylamide group forms a heterocycle, such as N-acryloylmorpholine, N-acryloylpiperidine, N-methacryloylpiperidine, and N-acryloylpyrrolidine.

Furthermore, X is preferably an epoxy group from the viewpoint of excellent adhesion between the resulting adhesive layer and the adherend, and a vinyl ether group from the viewpoint of excellent curability of the adhesive composition. A preferred specific example is general formula (1'): [ka] (In general formula (1'), Y is an organic group, X' is a reactive group contained in X, and R 1 and R 2 The same as above.) are examples. More preferably, the following compounds (1a) to (1d) are examples. [ka]

[0060] If the content of the compound represented by general formula (1) in the easy-adhesion composition is too low, the proportion of the compound represented by general formula (1) present at the interface between the polarizer and the adhesive layer decreases, which may reduce the easy-adhesion effect. Therefore, the content of the compound represented by general formula (1) in the solid content of the easy-adhesion composition is preferably 0.02% by mass or more, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and usually 5% by mass or less, and preferably 3% by mass or less.

[0061] From the viewpoint of appearance, the adhesive composition and the easy-adhesion composition preferably contain the above-mentioned cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative in each composition. In this case, the total proportion of the cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative in the total solid content of the adhesive composition and the easy-adhesion composition is preferably 65% ​​by mass or more, more preferably 68% by mass or more, and even more preferably 70% by mass or more. From the viewpoint of adhesion, it is preferably 80% by mass or less, more preferably 75% by mass or less, and even more preferably 72.5% by mass or less.

[0062] From the viewpoint of preventing separation of components of the adhesive composition due to moisture and improving adhesion between the optical film and the polarizer, the total solid content of the adhesive composition and the easy-to-adhere composition is preferably such that, when water is added to 100 parts by mass of the total solid content of the adhesive composition and the easy-to-adhere composition, the turbidity absorption rate shown by formula (2): turbidity absorption rate (%) = {Y / (100+Y)} × 100 is 4.2 or higher, and more preferably 4.6 or higher.

[0063] The aforementioned easy-adhesion composition may contain, to the extent that it does not impair the objectives and effects of the present invention, organometallic compounds such as organosilicon compounds, metal alkoxides, and metal chelates; organic solvents, binder resins, surfactants, plasticizers, tackifiers, low molecular weight polymers, polymerizable monomers, surface lubricants, leveling agents, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, polymerization initiators, polymerization inhibitors, silane coupling agents, titanium coupling agents, inorganic or organic fillers, metal powders, particulate matter, foil-like materials, etc.

[0064] <Polarizer> The polarizer described above can be a known polarizer formed by the adsorption and orientation of dichroic substances such as iodine or dichroic dyes onto a polyvinyl alcohol-based film.

[0065] From the viewpoint of improving optical durability in harsh environments with high temperature and humidity, it is preferable to use a polarizer with a thickness of 3 μm to 15 μm, more preferably 12 μm or less, even more preferably 10 μm or less, and particularly preferably 8 μm or less. Such thin polarizers have less thickness variation, excellent visibility, and excellent durability against thermal shock due to minimal dimensional change.

[0066] <Method for manufacturing polarizing film> The method for manufacturing the polarizing film includes (i) a step of applying the adhesive composition to the bonding surface of the optical film while transporting the optical film to form a coating of the adhesive composition; a step of applying the easy-adhesion composition to the bonding surface of the polarizer while transporting the polarizer to form a coating of the easy-adhesion composition; (ii) a step of forming an uncured composition layer obtained by bonding the coating of the adhesive composition and the coating of the easy-adhesion composition; and (iii) a step of curing the uncured composition layer.

[0067] In step (i) above, the coating method is appropriately selected depending on the viscosity of each composition and the desired thickness, but it is preferable to use a post-metering coating method from the viewpoint of removing foreign matter from the surface of the polarizer and optical film, coating properties, and controlling the thickness of the coating film. Specific examples of post-metering coating methods include gravure roll coating, forward roll coating, air knife coating, and rod / bar coating. Among these, the gravure roll coating method is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of removing foreign matter from the surface of the polarizer and optical film, coating properties, and controlling the thickness of the coating film.

[0068] In the gravure roll coating method, various patterns can be formed on the surface of the gravure roll, such as honeycomb mesh patterns, trapezoidal patterns, grid patterns, pyramidal patterns, or diagonal line patterns. To effectively prevent the occurrence of appearance defects in the final polarizing film, it is preferable that the pattern formed on the surface of the gravure roll is a honeycomb mesh pattern. In the case of a honeycomb mesh pattern, the cell volume should be 1 to 5 cm³ to improve the surface accuracy of the coated surface after coating. 3 / m 2 Preferably, 2-3 cm 3 / m 2 It is more preferable that this is the case. Similarly, in order to improve the surface accuracy of the coated surface after coating, it is preferable that the number of cells per inch of the roll be 200 to 3000 lines / inch. In addition, it is preferable that the rotation speed ratio of the gravure roll to the travel speed of the polarizer and optical film be 100 to 300%.

[0069] In step (i) above, a drying step may be provided to dry the media contained in each composition. In particular, since the easily bondable composition contains water, it is preferable to remove the water in the drying step from the viewpoint of suppressing the separation of components due to moisture in the adhesive composition in contact with the easily bondable layer surface. The drying step can be a known method, such as air drying, heat drying, or hot air drying.

[0070] In steps (i) and (ii) above, the thickness of the adhesive film is preferably about 0.1 to 100 μm, more preferably about 0.3 to 10 μm, and even more preferably about 0.5 to 5 μm, from the viewpoint of productivity and adhesion. Furthermore, the thickness of the easy-to-adhere composition is preferably about 0.1 to 100 μm, more preferably about 0.3 to 10 μm, and even more preferably about 0.5 to 5 μm, from the viewpoint of productivity and adhesion.

[0071] Furthermore, in step (ii) above, when the adhesive composition contains a cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative, it is preferable to adjust the amount of coating of the adhesive composition and / or the easy-adhesion composition so that, from the viewpoint of adhesion and appearance, the total proportion of the cyclic ether group-containing (meth)acrylamide derivative in the solid content of the uncured composition layer obtained by bonding the adhesive composition and the easy-adhesion composition is 65% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less, thereby forming the uncured composition layer. More preferably, this proportion is 68% by mass or more and 75% by mass or less.

[0072] The coating amount of each composition can usually be controlled by measuring the thickness of each coating film in-line. In-line measurement is preferably performed using an optical (non-contact) film thickness meter. The optical (non-contact) film thickness meter is not particularly limited and examples include spectroscopic interference film thickness meters, reflection spectroscopic film thickness meters, and confocal film thickness meters. A spectroscopic interference film thickness meter, which can measure the thickness of the coating film across its entire width, is particularly preferred.

[0073] The above bonding method can be carried out using a roll laminator or similar device.

[0074] In step (iii) above, the curing method is, for example, if the adhesive composition is an active energy ray curable adhesive composition, to irradiate the uncured composition layer with active energy rays (electron beams, ultraviolet rays, visible light, etc.) to cure it and form an adhesive layer. The irradiation direction of the active energy rays can be any appropriate direction, but in the case of a polarizing film, if irradiation is done from the polarizer side, the polarizer may deteriorate due to the active energy rays.

[0075] The irradiation conditions for the active energy rays described above can be any suitable conditions, as long as they are capable of curing the uncured composition layer. For example, when using ultraviolet or visible light as the active energy ray, the illuminance in the wavelength range of 395 to 445 nm should be 200 to 2000 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative light intensity is 100-1500 mJ / cm². 2 It is to that extent.

[0076] <Laminated polarizing film> The polarizing film is used in practical applications as a laminated polarizing film laminated with other optical layers. The polarizing film may have a transparent protective film on the surface (polarizer surface) that is not laminated with the optical film. Various transparent protective films used in various image display devices can be used as the transparent protective film. The transparent protective film may be the same as or different from the optical film. In addition, the above-mentioned easy-adhesion layer may be provided between the polarizer and the transparent protective film.

[0077] The optical film and / or transparent protective film may use a phase difference plate having a front phase difference of 40 nm or more and / or a thickness direction phase difference of 80 nm or more. The front phase difference is usually controlled in the range of 40 to 200 nm, and the thickness direction phase difference is usually controlled in the range of 80 to 300 nm. When a phase difference plate is used as the transparent protective film, the phase difference plate also functions as a transparent protective film, thus enabling a thinner design.

[0078] Examples of the phase difference plate include a birefringent film obtained by uniaxial or biaxial stretching of a polymer material, an orientation film of a liquid crystal polymer, and a liquid crystal polymer orientation layer supported by a film. The thickness of the phase difference plate is not particularly limited, but it is generally around 20 to 150 μm. The phase difference plate may also be used by laminating it to a transparent protective film that does not have a phase difference.

[0079] In the laminated polarizing film, functional layers such as a hard coat layer, anti-reflective layer, anti-sticking layer, diffusion layer, or anti-glare layer can be provided on the surface of the optical film and / or transparent protective film to which the polarizer is not bonded. These functional layers, such as the hard coat layer, anti-reflective layer, anti-sticking layer, diffusion layer, or anti-glare layer, can be provided on the protective film itself, or they can be provided separately from the protective film.

[0080] In the laminated polarizing film, the optical film and the transparent protective film may be laminated with intervening layers such as a surface modification layer, an easy-adhesion layer, a block layer, or a refractive index adjustment layer in between.

[0081] Examples of surface modification treatments for forming the aforementioned surface modification layer include corona treatment, plasma treatment, primer treatment, and saponification treatment.

[0082] Examples of easily adhesives for forming the easily adhesive layer include forming materials containing various resins having a polyester skeleton, polyether skeleton, polycarbonate skeleton, polyurethane skeleton, silicone-based materials, polyamide skeleton, polyimide skeleton, polyvinyl alcohol skeleton, and the like.

[0083] The aforementioned block layer is a layer that functions to prevent impurities such as oligomers and ions eluted from optical films from migrating (penetrating) into optical films such as polarizers. The block layer only needs to be transparent and capable of preventing impurities from eluting from optical films. Examples of materials that form the block layer include urethane prepolymer-based forming materials, cyanoacrylate-based forming materials, epoxy-based forming materials, and the like.

[0084] The refractive index adjusting layer is provided to suppress the decrease in transmittance due to reflection between layers with different refractive indices in the optical film. Examples of refractive index adjusting materials for forming the refractive index adjusting layer include various resins and additives such as silica-based, acrylic-based, acrylic-styrene-based, and melamine-based resins.

[0085] An adhesive layer for bonding other components may be attached to one or both sides of the laminated polarizing film. A tack layer is preferred as the adhesive layer. The tack layer forming the tack layer is not particularly limited, but for example, acrylic polymers, silicone polymers, polyesters, polyurethanes, polyamides, polyethers, fluorine-based polymers, rubber-based polymers, etc., can be appropriately selected and used. In particular, tacks containing acrylic polymers are preferred as they have excellent optical transparency, exhibit appropriate wettability, cohesiveness and adhesion, and have excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.

[0086] The adhesive layer can be attached to one or both sides of the laminated polarizing film by any suitable method. Examples of methods for attaching the adhesive layer include preparing an adhesive solution and directly attaching it to the laminated polarizing film by a suitable deployment method such as casting or coating, or forming an adhesive layer on a release film and transferring it to the laminated polarizing film. The thickness of the adhesive layer can be appropriately determined according to the intended use and adhesive strength, and is generally 1 to 500 μm, preferably 5 to 200 μm, and more preferably 10 to 100 μm.

[0087] It is preferable that a separator be temporarily attached to the exposed surface of the adhesive layer to prevent contamination until it is put into practical use. This prevents contamination of the adhesive layer under normal handling conditions. As the separator, for example, a suitable thin sheet such as a plastic film, rubber sheet, paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, net, foam sheet, metal foil, or laminate thereof may be used, and may be coated with a suitable release agent such as silicone-based, long-chain alkyl-based, fluorine-based, or molybdenum sulfide as needed.

[0088] The laminated polarizing film can be used in various image display devices such as liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays. [Examples]

[0092] <Preparation of optical film (polycarbonate resin film)> 81.98 parts by mass of isosorbide, 47.19 parts by mass of tricyclodecanedimethanol, 175.1 parts by mass of diphenyl carbonate, and 0.979 parts by mass of a 0.2% by mass aqueous solution of cesium carbonate as a catalyst were added to the reaction vessel. In the first stage of the reaction, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the heating vessel temperature was raised to 150°C, and the raw materials were dissolved while stirring as needed (for about 15 minutes). Next, the pressure was increased from atmospheric pressure to 13.3 kPa, and the heating vessel temperature was raised to 190°C over 1 hour, while the generated phenol was removed from the reaction vessel. After holding the entire reaction vessel at 190°C for 15 minutes, in the second stage, the pressure inside the reaction vessel was set to 6.67 kPa, and the heating vessel temperature was raised to 230°C over 15 minutes, while the generated phenol was removed from the reaction vessel. As the stirring torque of the stirrer increased, the temperature was raised to 250°C in 8 minutes, and then the pressure inside the reaction vessel was reduced to 0.200 kPa or less to remove the generated phenol. After reaching the predetermined stirring torque, the reaction was terminated, and the resulting reactants were extruded into water to obtain polycarbonate resin pellets. Subsequently, Adekastab LA-F70 was kneaded in as an ultraviolet absorber to obtain polycarbonate resin pellets with ultraviolet absorption capabilities. The obtained polycarbonate resin with ultraviolet absorption capabilities was vacuum dried at 80°C for 5 hours, and then an optical film composed of the polycarbonate resin was fabricated using a film manufacturing apparatus equipped with a single-screw extruder (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., cylinder setting temperature: 250°C), a T-die (width 300 mm, setting temperature: 250°C), a chill roll (setting temperature: 120~130°C), and a winding machine. The thickness of the obtained optical film was 20 μm.

[0093] <Preparing the polarizer> As a thermoplastic resin substrate, an amorphous isophthalic copolymer polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 100 μm) with a long length and a Tg of approximately 75°C was used, and one side of the resin substrate was subjected to corona treatment. A PVA aqueous solution (coating solution) was prepared by dissolving 100 parts by weight of a PVA-based resin, which was a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol (degree of polymerization 4200, degree of saponification 99.2 mol%) and acetoacetyl-modified PVA (manufactured by Nippon Synthetic Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., trade name "Gosephymer") in a 9:1 ratio, with 13 parts by weight of potassium iodide added, in water. The PVA aqueous solution was applied to the corona-treated surface of the resin substrate and dried at 60°C to form a PVA-based resin layer with a thickness of 13 μm, thereby producing a laminate. The obtained laminate was uniaxially stretched 3.0 times in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction) in an oven at 140°C (air-assisted stretching treatment). Next, the laminate was immersed for 30 seconds in an insolubilization bath at a liquid temperature of 40°C (a boric acid aqueous solution obtained by mixing 4 parts by weight of boric acid with 100 parts by weight of water) (insolubilization treatment). Next, it was immersed for 60 seconds in a staining bath at a liquid temperature of 30°C (a iodine aqueous solution obtained by mixing iodine and potassium iodide in a weight ratio of 1:7 with 100 parts by weight of water) while adjusting the concentration so that the final transmittance (Ts) of the polarizer obtained would be the desired value (staining treatment). Next, it was immersed for 30 seconds in a crosslinking bath at a liquid temperature of 40°C (a boric acid aqueous solution obtained by mixing 3 parts by weight of potassium iodide and 5 parts by weight of boric acid with 100 parts by weight of water) (crosslinking treatment). Subsequently, the laminate was immersed in a boric acid aqueous solution (boric acid concentration 4% by weight, potassium iodide concentration 5% by weight) at a liquid temperature of 64°C and uniaxially stretched between rolls with different peripheral speeds to achieve a total stretch ratio of 5.5 times in the longitudinal direction (water stretching treatment). After that, the laminate was immersed in a washing bath at a liquid temperature of 20°C (an aqueous solution obtained by mixing 3 parts by weight of potassium iodide with 100 parts by weight of water) (washing treatment). After that, while drying in an oven maintained at approximately 90°C, it was brought into contact with a SUS heated roll whose surface temperature was maintained at approximately 75°C (drying shrinkage treatment). In this way, a polarizer with a thickness of 5.5 μm was formed on the resin substrate, and a resin substrate-mounted polarizer having a resin substrate / polarizer configuration was obtained.

[0094] <Preparation of polarizing film> A polarizer with an easy-adhesion layer was fabricated by coating the polarizer surface (the side opposite to the resin substrate) of the resin substrate polarizer obtained above with an easy-adhesion composition adjusted to a film thickness of 1.0 μm, and then air-drying it at 25°C for 1 minute. An MCD coater (manufactured by Fuji Machinery Co., Ltd.) (cell shape: honeycomb, gravure roll line count 1000 lines / inch, rotation speed 140% / line speed) was used for coating. As an optical film, an adhesive composition was coated onto the 20 μm thick polycarbonate resin film obtained above with an adhesive composition adjusted to a film thickness of 1.0 μm. An MCD coater (manufactured by Fuji Machinery Co., Ltd.) (cell shape: honeycomb, gravure roll line count 1000 lines / inch, rotation speed 140% / line speed) was used for coating. Next, the easy-adhesion layer side of the polarizer with the easy-adhesion layer was bonded to the optical film via the adhesive composition coating to form an uncured composition layer. Next, the uncured composition layer between the films was cured by irradiating the optical film side of the resulting laminate with ultraviolet light to obtain a polarizing film. A gallium lamp was used for ultraviolet irradiation, with an irradiance of 1000 mW / cm² in the wavelength range of 395-445 nm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 600 mJ / cm². 2 I adjusted it so that it would be as follows.

[0095] <Method for measuring the water absorption rate of turbidity> When 100g of the adhesive composition was stirred and water was gradually added, and the weight of water added until turbidity was visually observed in the adhesive composition was denoted as X (g), the value shown in formula (1) was defined as the turbidity absorption rate. Formula (1): Cloudy water absorption rate (%)={X / (100+X)}×100 The turbidity water absorption rate of the uncured composition layer (a composition combining the solid content of the adhesive composition and the easy-to-adhere composition) was calculated by mixing the above components in the amounts shown in Table 1 at 25°C for 1 hour to prepare the uncured composition (solid content of the uncured composition layer), and then calculating it using the following method (the units of the amounts shown in Table 1 are relative "parts by mass"). When 100g of the uncured composition (solid content of the uncured composition layer) was stirred and water was gradually added, and the weight of water added until turbidity was visually confirmed in the uncured composition was denoted as Y(g), the value shown in equation (2) was defined as the turbidity absorption rate. Formula (2): Cloudy water absorption rate (%)={Y / (100+Y)}×100

[0096] <Evaluation of appearance> For the visual evaluation, a sample of polarizing film attached to a blackboard was used, and light was incident from an oblique direction using an LED lamp. The presence or absence of granular surface defects was judged visually according to the following criteria. Note that "polarizing film + anti-reflective film" refers to a laminated polarizing film in which an anti-reflective film (product name: AR200, manufactured by Dexerials) is bonded to the polarizing film via an acrylic adhesive. [Table 1]

[0097] <Evaluation of initial adhesion> The obtained polarizing film was cut to a size of 200 mm parallel to the stretching direction of the polarizer and 15 mm perpendicular to it, and the polarizing film was bonded to a glass plate. Then, an incision was made between the transparent protective film and the polarizer with a utility knife, and the protective film and polarizer were peeled off at a 90-degree angle at a peeling speed of 300 mm / min using a Tensilon, and the peel strength (N / 15 mm) was measured. A value of 1.5 N / 15 mm or more was marked "○", 1.0 N / 15 mm or more was marked "△", and less than 1.0 N / 15 mm was marked "×".

[0098] <Evaluation of humidification adhesion> The humidified adhesion performance was evaluated by leaving the obtained polarizing film in a 20°C, 98% RH environment for 240 hours, followed by the adhesion test described above. A result of 1.5 N / 15 mm or higher was marked "○", 1.0 N / 15 mm or higher was marked "△", and less than 1.0 N / 15 mm was marked "×".
