Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an interlayer film for laminated glass used to obtain laminated glass. The present invention also relates to laminated glass using the interlayer film for laminated glass. [Background technology]
[0002] Laminated glass is excellent in safety because even if it is broken by an external impact, the amount of glass fragments scattered is small. For this reason, laminated glass is widely used in automobiles, railway vehicles, aircraft, ships, buildings, etc. Laminated glass is manufactured by sandwiching an interlayer film between a pair of glass sheets.
[0003] In recent years, laminated glass having design properties, light blocking properties, privacy protection properties, etc., has been required as laminated glass for buildings and automobiles. Laminated glass having design properties, light blocking properties, privacy protection properties, etc. can be obtained by using an interlayer film containing a colorant such as a dye or a pigment.
[0004] The following Patent Document 1 discloses a laminated glass for vehicles in which two glass sheets are bonded to each other via an interlayer film. The interlayer film includes a first region provided with a dimming function that imparts a transmittance loss for visible light, and a second region surrounded by the first region or a second region formed by partially receding an end of the first region. In the second region, the interlayer film has a transmittance loss for visible light that is smaller than the transmittance loss. The first region may contain, for example, a pigment or a dye. The first region may be a strip-shaped shade region. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] WO2003 / 059837A1 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] An interlayer film having a colored layer containing a coloring agent is known. The colored layer may be provided as a surface layer of the interlayer film, or may be provided as an intermediate layer embedded inside the interlayer film. An interlayer film having a colored layer generally has a colored region corresponding to the position of the colored layer.
[0007] Furthermore, the interlayer film may be stored in a state where the interlayer film is overlapped, for example, in the form of a roll in which the interlayer film is wound around the outer periphery of a winding core.
[0008] In conventional interlayer films having colored regions, when the interlayer films are stored in a stacked state, the colored regions may come into contact with other parts, causing color transfer at the contacted parts. Note that this color transfer may occur even in interlayer films in which the colored layer is embedded inside.
[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide an interlayer film for laminated glass capable of suppressing color transfer. Another object of the present invention is to provide laminated glass using the interlayer film for laminated glass. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0019] (Interlayer film for laminated glass) The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention (sometimes abbreviated as "interlayer film" in this specification) is used for laminated glass. When the interlayer film according to the present invention is placed between two sheets of clear glass conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain laminated glass X, and the parallel light transmittance of the obtained laminated glass X is measured, the interlayer film has a colored region having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% and a transparent region having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more. In the interlayer film according to the present invention, the average thickness of the interlayer film in the colored region is smaller than the average thickness of the interlayer film in the transparent region, and the absolute value of the difference between the average thickness of the interlayer film in the colored region and the average thickness of the interlayer film in the transparent region is 10 μm or more.
[0020] The interlayer film according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and therefore can suppress color transfer. Even if the interlayer film according to the present invention is stored in a stacked state, such as in a roll, the colored region is unlikely to come into contact with other parts. Therefore, the interlayer film according to the present invention can suppress color transfer. Therefore, by using the interlayer film according to the present invention, laminated glass with a good appearance can be obtained.
[0021] The intermediate film has a one-layer structure or a two-layer or more structure. The intermediate film may have a one-layer structure or a two-layer or more structure. The intermediate film may have a two-layer structure, a three-layer structure, a three-layer structure, a four-layer structure, a five-layer structure, or a six-layer structure. The intermediate film may be an intermediate film having a one-layer structure including only a first layer (single-layer intermediate film), or an intermediate film having a two-layer or more structure including a first layer and another layer (multilayer intermediate film). The intermediate film may have these structures in a part of the intermediate film, or in the entire intermediate film. The structure of the intermediate film may be partially different.
[0022] In the present invention, the interlayer film is disposed between two sheets of clear glass conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain laminated glass X. The laminated glass X is preferably produced as follows.
[0023] An interlayer film is sandwiched between two sheets of 2 mm thick clear glass conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain a laminate. The obtained laminate is placed in a rubber bag and degassed for 20 minutes at a vacuum of 2.6 kPa, and then transferred to an oven in the degassed state and held at 90°C for an additional 30 minutes to perform vacuum pressing to pre-bond the laminate. The pre-bonded laminate is then pressed for 20 minutes in an autoclave at 135°C and a pressure of 1.2 MPa to obtain laminated glass X.
[0024] In the present invention, when the parallel light transmittance of the obtained laminated glass X is measured, the interlayer has a colored region having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% and a transparent region having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more. The interlayer may have the colored region at one end in the width direction, and the transparent region at the other end opposite to the one end in the width direction. In addition, in the colored region, a colored layer having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% and a layer other than the colored layer (a layer having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more) may be present in the thickness direction of the interlayer. In this case, the colored region includes the colored layer and the layer other than the colored layer (for example, the left part of the broken line in Figures 1 to 3). The colored region of the interlayer having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% corresponds to the colored region of the laminated glass X having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60%. The transparent region of the interlayer having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more corresponds to the transparent region of the laminated glass X having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more.
[0025] The parallel light transmittance is measured in accordance with JIS R3106:1998. Specifically, it is measured as follows. It is preferable that one end of the interlayer film is one end of the laminated glass X, and the other end of the interlayer film is the other end of the laminated glass X.
[0026] Using a spectrophotometer, the laminated glass X is placed on the optical path between the light source and the integrating sphere, parallel to the normal to the optical axis, at a point 13 cm away from the integrating sphere, so that only the transmitted parallel light is received by the integrating sphere. The parallel light transmittance means the visible light transmittance calculated from the spectral transmittance measured in this state. An example of the spectrophotometer is the "U-4100" manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation.
[0027] The intermediate film preferably includes a plurality of layers at one end side in the width direction. The intermediate film preferably includes a plurality of layers in the colored region. In this case, the intermediate film may include a colored layer containing a colorant and a layer other than the colored layer in the colored region.
[0028] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates a schematic diagram of an interlayer film for laminated glass according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
[0029] The interlayer film 11 shown in Fig. 1 is used to obtain laminated glass. The interlayer film 11 is an interlayer film for laminated glass.
[0030] The interlayer film 11 includes a first layer 1, a second layer 2, and a third layer 3. The second layer 2 is disposed on the first surface (one side) of the first layer 1. The second layer 2 is laminated on the first surface of the first layer 1. The first layer 1 and the second layer 2 are in contact with each other. The third layer 3 is disposed on the second surface side of the first layer 1, opposite to the first surface. The third layer 3 is laminated on the second surface of the first layer 1. The first layer 1 and the third layer 3 are in contact with each other. The first layer 1 is disposed and sandwiched between the second layer 2 and the third layer 3. The first layer 1, the second layer 2, and the third layer 3 each have a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more. The interlayer film 11 has a multilayer structure except for the colored layer.
[0031] The intermediate film 11 has a length direction and a width direction. The left-right direction in FIG.
[0032] The intermediate film 11 has a colored layer 4 (fourth layer) having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60%. The colored layer 4 contains a colorant. The colored layer 4 is embedded in the second layer 2. At one end side of the intermediate film 11, the colored layer 4 is embedded in the second layer 2. At one end side of the intermediate film 11 in the width direction, the colored layer 4 is embedded in the second layer 2.
[0033] The intermediate film 11 has a colored region X having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% in a portion having the colored layer 4. The colored region X is, for example, a region that is colored when the intermediate film 11 is viewed in a plan view. The intermediate film 11 has a transparent region Y having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more in a portion not having the colored layer 4. The transparent region Y is, for example, a region that is not colored when the intermediate film 11 is viewed in a plan view. The entire portion to the left of the dashed line in FIG. 1 is referred to as the colored region X. The entire portion to the right of the dashed line in FIG. 1 is referred to as the transparent region Y.
[0034] The interlayer film 11 has a multilayer structure in which a second layer 2, a colored layer 4, a second layer 2, a first layer 1, and a third layer 3 are arranged in this order in the colored region X. The interlayer film 11 has a five-layer structure in the colored region X.
[0035] A transparent region Y is located on the other end side of the interlayer 11. The transparent region Y is located closer to the other end side of the interlayer 11 than the colored region X. The interlayer 11 has a multilayer structure in the transparent region Y in which a second layer 2, a first layer 1, and a third layer 3 are arranged side by side in this order. The interlayer 11 has a three-layer structure in the transparent region Y.
[0036] The colored region X is located on one end side of the intermediate film 11. The colored region X is located closer to one end side of the intermediate film 11 than the transparent region Y. The thickness of the colored layer 4 decreases from one end side to the other end side in the width direction of the intermediate film 11. Therefore, in the intermediate film 11, the parallel light transmittance increases in the colored region X from one end side to the other end side in the width direction.
[0037] The average thickness of the first layer 1 in the colored region X is the same as the average thickness of the first layer 1 in the transparent region Y. The average thickness of the second layer 2 in the colored region X is different from the average thickness of the second layer 2 in the transparent region Y. The average thickness of the second layer 2 in the colored region X is smaller than the average thickness of the second layer 2 in the transparent region Y. The average thickness of the third layer 3 in the colored region X is the same as the average thickness of the third layer 3 in the transparent region Y.
[0038] In the interlayer 11, the average thickness of the interlayer 11 in the colored region X is smaller than the average thickness of the interlayer 11 in the transparent region Y.
[0039] The outer surface of the second layer 2 opposite to the first layer 1 is preferably a surface on which a laminated glass member is laminated. The outer surface of the third layer 3 opposite to the first layer 1 is preferably a surface on which a laminated glass member is laminated.
[0040] Fig. 4(a) is a perspective view showing a schematic diagram of a roll around which the interlayer film for laminated glass shown in Fig. 1 is wound, and Fig. 4(b) is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a laminated portion of the interlayer film for laminated glass in the roll. Fig. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line II in Fig. 4(a).
[0041] As shown in FIG. 4( a ), the interlayer film 11 may be wound into a roll 51 of the interlayer film 11 .
[0042] The roll body 51 includes a winding core 61 and an intermediate film 11. The intermediate film 11 is wound around the outer periphery of the winding core 61.
[0043] 4(b) shows an enlarged view of a portion of the intermediate film 11 wound three times. Even when the intermediate film 11 is wound into a roll body 51, the colored regions X are unlikely to come into contact with each other, and gaps exist between the colored regions X. This makes it possible to prevent color transfer. Even if the colored regions X come into contact with each other, the colored regions X are unlikely to adhere firmly to each other, making it possible to prevent color transfer.
[0044] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates a schematic diagram of an interlayer film for laminated glass according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0045] The interlayer film 11A shown in Fig. 2 is used to obtain laminated glass. The interlayer film 11A is an interlayer film for laminated glass. The interlayer film 11A has a single-layer structure excluding the colored layer.
[0046] The intermediate film 11A includes a first layer 1A. The first layer 1A is a layer having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more.
[0047] The intermediate film 11A has a length direction and a width direction. The left-right direction in FIG.

The colored layer 4A contains a colorant. The colored layer 4A is embedded in the first layer 1A. On one end side of the intermediate film 11A, the colored layer 4A is embedded in the first layer 1A.
[0049] The intermediate film 11A has a colored region X having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% in a portion having the colored layer 4A. The colored region X is, for example, a region that is colored when the intermediate film 11A is viewed in a plan view. The intermediate film 11A has a transparent region Y having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more in a portion not having the colored layer 4A. The transparent region Y is, for example, a region that is not colored when the intermediate film 11A is viewed in a plan view. The entire portion to the left of the dashed line in FIG. 2 is referred to as the colored region X. The entire portion to the right of the dashed line in FIG. 2 is referred to as the transparent region Y.
[0050] The intermediate film 11A has a multilayer structure in which a first layer 1A, a colored layer 4A, and a first layer 1A are arranged in this order in the colored region X. The intermediate film 11A has a three-layer structure in the colored region X.
[0051] A colored region X is located on one end side of the intermediate film 11A. The colored region X is located closer to one end side of the intermediate film 11A than the transparent region Y. The intermediate film 11A has a single-layer structure in the transparent region Y.
[0052] A colored region X is located on one end side of the intermediate film 11A. The colored region X is located closer to one end side of the intermediate film 11A than the transparent region Y. The thickness of the colored layer 4A decreases from one end side to the other end side in the width direction of the intermediate film 11A. Therefore, in the intermediate film 11A, the parallel light transmittance increases in the colored region X from one end side to the other end side in the width direction.
[0053] The average thickness of the first layer 1A in the colored region X is different from the average thickness of the first layer 1A in the transparent region Y. The average thickness of the first layer 1A in the colored region X is smaller than the average thickness of the first layer 1A in the transparent region Y.
[0054] The average thickness of the intermediate film 11A in the colored region X is smaller than the average thickness of the intermediate film 11A in the transparent region Y.
[0055] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view that illustrates an interlayer film for laminated glass according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] The interlayer film 11B shown in Fig. 3 is used to obtain laminated glass. The interlayer film 11B is an interlayer film for laminated glass.
[0057] The intermediate film 11 shown in FIG. 1 and the intermediate film 11B shown in FIG. 3 are different in the thickness of the second layer and the shape of the third layer in the colored region.
[0058] The intermediate film 11B includes a first layer 1B, a second layer 2B, and a third layer 3B.

The colored layer 4B is embedded in the second layer 2B. At one end side of the intermediate film 11B, the colored layer 4B is embedded in the second layer 2B. At one end side of the intermediate film 11B in the width direction, the colored layer 4B is embedded in the second layer 2B.
[0061] The intermediate film 11B has a colored region X having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% in a portion having the colored layer 4B. The colored region X is, for example, a region that is colored when the intermediate film 11B is viewed in a plan view. The intermediate film 11B has a transparent region Y having a parallel light transmittance of 60% or more in a portion not having the colored layer 4B. The transparent region Y is, for example, a region that is not colored when the intermediate film 11B is viewed in a plan view. The entire portion to the left of the dashed line in FIG. 3 is referred to as the colored region X. The entire portion to the right of the dashed line in FIG. 3 is referred to as the transparent region Y.
[0062] The average thickness of the first layer 1B in the colored region X is the same as the average thickness of the first layer 1B in the transparent region Y, but these average thicknesses may be different. The average thickness of the second layer 2B in the colored region X is different from the average thickness of the second layer 2B in the transparent region Y, and the average thickness of the second layer 2B in the colored region X is smaller than the average thickness of the second layer 2B in the transparent region Y, but these average thicknesses may be the same.

[0063] In the intermediate film 11B, the average thickness in the colored region X of the intermediate film 11B is smaller than the average thickness in the transparent region Y of the intermediate film 11B.
[0064] The layer having a different average thickness between the colored region X and the transparent region X may be a first layer, a second layer, or a third layer. The number of layers having a different average thickness between the colored region X and the transparent region X may be one layer, two layers, two or more layers, three layers, three or more layers, or all layers. The number of layers having a different average thickness between the colored region X and the transparent region X may be three or less layers, or two or less layers. The shape of the colored region X and the transparent region X that makes the average thickness different is not particularly limited.
[0065] In the interlayer film, another layer may be disposed between the first layer and the second layer, and between the first layer and the third layer. In the interlayer film, it is preferable that the first layer and the second layer, and the first layer and the third layer are directly laminated to each other.
[0066] The interlayer film may have only one color layer or may have multiple color layers. The color layer may be embedded in the first layer, may be disposed between the first layer and the second layer, may be disposed on the side of the second layer opposite to the first layer side, may be embedded in the third layer, may be disposed between the first layer and the third layer, or may be disposed on the side of the third layer opposite to the first layer side. The color layer may be located on the surface of the interlayer film.
[0067] The thickness of the colored layer may be smaller, larger, or uniform from one end side to the other end side in the width direction of the intermediate film. In the intermediate film, the parallel light transmittance may be constant or may change from one end side to the other end side in the width direction in the colored region X. In the intermediate film, the parallel light transmittance may be larger or smaller from one end side to the other end side in the width direction in the colored region X. In addition, in the intermediate film, the parallel light transmittance in the colored region X may change due to a change in the concentration of the colorant contained in the colored layer. For example, in the intermediate film, the concentration of the colorant contained in the colored layer may be thinner from one end side to the other end side in the width direction of the intermediate film, so that the parallel light transmittance in the colored region X may be larger from the one end side to the other end side.
[0068] The average thickness of the interlayer film in the colored region is defined as the "average thickness of the interlayer film (X)," and the average thickness of the interlayer film in the transparent region is defined as the "average thickness of the interlayer film (Y)." From the viewpoint of exerting the effects of the present invention, the average thickness of the interlayer film (X) is smaller than the average thickness of the interlayer film (Y). Furthermore, from the viewpoint of exerting the effects of the present invention, the absolute value of the difference between the average thickness of the interlayer film (X) and the average thickness of the interlayer film (Y) is 10 μm or more.
[0069] The absolute value of the difference between the average thickness (X) of the interlayer film and the average thickness (Y) of the interlayer film is preferably 15 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, even more preferably 25 μm or more, even more preferably 30 μm or more, even more preferably 50 μm or more, particularly preferably 75 μm or more, and most preferably 100 μm or more. The absolute value of the difference between the average thickness (X) of the interlayer film and the average thickness (Y) of the interlayer film is preferably 1500 μm or less, more preferably 1200 μm or less, even more preferably 900 μm or less, and particularly preferably 600 μm or less. When the absolute value of the difference is the lower limit or more, the effects of the present invention can be more effectively exhibited. When the absolute value of the difference is the upper limit or less, the production efficiency of the interlayer film can be improved.
[0070] The colored region preferably has a colored layer having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60%. The parallel light transmittance of the colored layer can be measured in the same manner as described above by peeling the colored layer from the interlayer or molding a composition for forming the colored layer to obtain a colored layer, and using the obtained colored layer. When the colored layer is placed between two clear glasses conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain laminated glass Y, and the parallel light transmittance of the obtained laminated glass Y is measured, the colored layer preferably has a parallel light transmittance of less than 60%. A colored layer having a parallel light transmittance of less than 60% corresponds to laminated glass Y having a parallel light transmittance of 60%.
