Description

Active energy ray-curable resin composition, cured product, and laminate

[0001] The present invention relates to an active energy ray-curable resin composition that has excellent transparency, effectively suppresses changes in hue due to light guide distance, and is suitable for optical applications.

[0002] Liquid crystal display devices are widely used as display devices for various electronic devices. In recent years, such electronic devices have become increasingly smaller, and there is a demand for smaller and lighter liquid crystal display devices as well.

[0003] Such liquid crystal display devices mainly use optical functional sheets that utilize the effects of reflection, refraction, scattering, etc., or sheets that combine these. Such optical functional sheets are imparted with various optical properties by forming an active energy ray-curable resin layer, such as a UV-curable resin layer, on the surface of a resin film.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 states that by adding 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm of fluorescent bleach to methacrylic resin for light guide plates, it is possible to obtain excellent side-light type surface lighting with an appropriate improvement in color tone, less unevenness, and no reduction in light utilization efficiency.

[0005] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-231808

[0006] On the other hand, the inventors' investigations revealed that integrating the above-mentioned optical functional sheet with a light guide plate significantly affects the chromaticity distribution of light extracted from the light guide plate when the light is guided through a UV-curable resin layer. Specifically, they found that the photopolymerization initiator and the polymer-derived structure of the UV-curable resin layer attenuate light in the 400-500 nm wavelength range, causing yellowing of the light emitted from the light guide. In particular, in single-sided input surface light source devices, when a light guide with a distance between the light incident end face and the surface facing the light incident end face of 350 mm or more (a light guide with a light guide distance of 350 mm or more) is used, this increase in yellowing is particularly pronounced in areas with long light guide distances. In other words, the yellowing of the light emitted from the light guide does not occur uniformly across the entire light guide surface, but occurs in areas with long light guide distances.

[0007] In response to this, the present inventors conducted research and found that the bleaching agent used in the technology described in Patent Document 1 typically absorbs light in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 400 nm and emits light in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 500 nm. Therefore, in the case of white light-emitting LEDs, the light emission range does not substantially include the wavelength range described above (300 nm to 400 nm). As a result, even if a fluorescent bleaching agent is added to the methacrylic resin for the light guide, as in the technology of Patent Document 1, no fluorescence will be emitted.

[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide an active energy ray-curable resin composition that has excellent transparency, effectively suppresses changes in hue due to light guide distance, and thus exhibits little decrease in transmittance even when used in combination with a primary light source consisting of a white LED, and can suppress yellowing of emitted light at the light exit surface.

[0009] As a result of intensive research conducted by the present inventors to achieve the above-mentioned object, they found that the above-mentioned object can be achieved by an active energy ray-curable resin composition that contains component (a1): a compound containing one ethylenically unsaturated group having a molecular weight of 90 or more and less than 300, and / or component (a2): a 1,6-diene-type divinyl compound having a molecular weight of 90 or more and less than 300, and that has an absorbance in an IR spectrum obtained by FT-IR measurement controlled to fall within a specific range, and thus they have completed the present invention.

[0054] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention comprises, on a resin substrate, a cured product layer made of a cured product formed using the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention.

[0055] The laminate of the present invention may be one in which a cured product layer made of a cured product formed using the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention is formed directly on a resin substrate, but it is preferable that these are formed via a primer layer, i.e., the primer layer and the cured product layer are formed in this order on the resin substrate.

[0056] Here, Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a laminate according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the laminate according to one embodiment has a laminate structure in which an active energy ray-curable resin layer 20 is formed on a substrate film 10. In the laminate according to one embodiment, the substrate film 10 is formed by forming a primer layer 12 on a resin substrate 11, and as shown in Fig. 1, the cured product layer 20 is formed on the resin substrate 11 via the primer layer 12. The following description will be given using the laminate according to one embodiment shown in Fig. 1 as an example.

[0057] <Resin substrate 11> The resin substrate 11 is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include an acrylic resin substrate, a carbonate resin substrate, a cyclic olefin resin substrate, and a cellulose resin substrate. Among these, an acrylic resin substrate is preferred from the viewpoint of excellent optical properties.

[0058] The acrylic resin substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is a film-like substrate containing an acrylic resin. Examples of acrylic resins include poly(meth)acrylic acid esters such as polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate-(meth)acrylic acid copolymers, methyl methacrylate-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers, methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid ester-(meth)acrylic acid copolymers, methyl (meth)acrylate-styrene copolymers, and polymers having alicyclic hydrocarbon groups (for example, methyl methacrylate-cyclohexyl methacrylate copolymers, methyl methacrylate-norbornyl (meth)acrylate copolymers, etc.). Note that "(meth)acrylic" means acrylic and / or methacrylic.

[0059] The acrylic resin substrate may contain, in addition to the acrylic resin, a thermoplastic resin other than the acrylic resin. Examples of the thermoplastic resin other than the acrylic resin include olefin polymers, halogenated vinyl polymers, polyesters, polyacetals, polycarbonates, polyether ether ketones, polysulfones, polyether sulfones, polyoxybenzylene, polyamide imides, and rubber polymers. The content of the acrylic resin in the resin substrate 11 is preferably 80% by weight or more, more preferably 90% by weight or more, and even more preferably 95% by weight or more. It is particularly preferred that the resin substrate 11 is substantially 100% by weight of the acrylic resin.

[0060] The thickness of the resin substrate 11 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of strength and optical properties, it is preferably 10 to 100 μm, more preferably 18 to 42 μm. The resin substrate 11 may be a stretched film of a resin such as an acrylic resin, and for example, the optical properties may be adjusted by stretching, and the thickness may be set within the above range.

[0061] <Primer Layer 12> The primer layer 12 is a layer formed on the resin substrate 11, and is usually a layer formed to improve adhesion between the resin substrate 11 and the cured product layer 20 formed from the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention. The primer layer 12 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a layer containing a urethane-based resin from the viewpoint of being able to further improve adhesion. In other words, it is preferably a urethane-based resin layer.

[0062] Urethane resins are reaction products of polyols and polyisocyanates. Examples of polyols include polymer polyols such as polyacrylic polyols, polyester polyols, and polyether polyols. Examples of polyisocyanates include aliphatic diisocyanates, alicyclic diisocyanates, aromatic diisocyanates, and araliphatic diisocyanates.

[0063] Furthermore, the urethane-based resin layer may contain inorganic fine particles in addition to the urethane-based resin. Examples of the inorganic fine particles include titania, alumina, calcium carbonate, talc, silica, clay, calcined kaolin, calcined calcium silicate, hydrated calcium silicate, aluminum silicate, magnesium silicate, and calcium phosphate.

[0064] The urethane-based resin layer can be formed, for example, by using an aqueous dispersion of urethane-based resin particles, in which urethane-based resin particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium such as water, applying the aqueous dispersion of urethane-based resin particles to the resin substrate 11, and then drying the applied dispersion. In this case, the aqueous dispersion of urethane-based resin particles may contain the inorganic fine particles described above, and may also contain a crosslinking agent. When a crosslinking agent is added, a crosslinked structure can be introduced by crosslinking the urethane-based resin particles, thereby improving adhesion durability. Examples of crosslinking agents that can be used include those containing an amino group, an oxazoline group, an epoxy group, a carbodiimide group, or the like.

[0065] The thickness of the primer layer 12 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of adhesion to the cured product layer 20 and optical properties, it is preferably 0.05 to 1 μm, more preferably 0.1 to 0.6 μm, and even more preferably 0.15 to 0.4 μm.

[0066] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reliability, the 90-degree peel strength of the primer layer 12 from the resin substrate 11 is preferably 0.3 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 N / 25 mm or more.

[0067] <Cured Material Layer 20> The cured material layer 20 is a layer made of a cured product formed from the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention. The cured material layer 20 is a cured resin layer formed by applying the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention onto the primer layer 12 formed on the resin substrate 11 to form a layer made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition, and curing the layer using active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays.

[0068] 1, the cured material layer 20 may have a fine uneven shape (fine pattern) on its surface, and by providing such a fine uneven shape, optical properties attributable to the fine uneven shape can be realized. More specifically, by causing the fine uneven shape to cause actions such as reflection, refraction, scattering, etc., optical properties utilizing the actions of reflection, refraction, scattering, etc. can be realized.

[0069] The method for imparting a fine unevenness to the surface of the cured material layer 20 is not particularly limited, but as described below, a suitable method is to press a release film for forming a fine pattern (hereinafter referred to as a "film mold") against the surface of a layer made of an active energy ray-curable resin composition before curing, irradiate with active energy rays, cure the layer, and then peel off the film mold. In this method, since it is necessary to successfully peel off the film mold after curing the layer made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition to form the cured material layer 20, the 90-degree peel strength of the surface of the cured material layer 20 from the film mold is preferably less than 1.9 N / 25 mm, more preferably 0.9 N / 25 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.2 N / 25 mm or less. The method for imparting a fine unevenness is not limited to the method using a film mold, but also includes a method using a mold engraved with a fine unevenness.

[0070] Although FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which a fine unevenness is formed on the surface of the cured material layer 20, the present invention is not particularly limited to this example, and the cured material layer 20 may have an example in which a fine unevenness is not formed on the surface of the cured material layer 20.

[0071] From the viewpoints of strength and optical properties, the thickness of the cured material layer 20 is preferably 1 to 50 μm, more preferably 5 to 30 μm, and even more preferably 7 to 20 μm. When the cured material layer 20 has a fine unevenness on its surface as shown in Fig. 1, the thickness of the cured material layer 20 may be the thickness from the convex portion of the fine unevenness to the interface between the cured material layer 20 and the primer layer 12.

[0072] From the viewpoint of reliability, the 90-degree peel strength of the cured material layer 20 from the primer layer 12 is preferably 0.3 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 N / 25 mm or more.

[0073] The indentation hardness of the surface of the cured material layer 20 is preferably 30 N / mm 2 More preferably, it is 40 N / mm 2 More preferably, 60 N / mm 2 That's all.

[0074] 1 illustrates an embodiment in which the cured product layer 20 is formed directly on the primer layer 12, but a diffusion region in which the components of the primer layer 12 are present may be formed in the primer layer 12 and the resin substrate 11. The thickness of the diffusion region is preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 1.5 μm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 μm or more.

[0075] When a diffusion region is formed, from the viewpoint of reliability, the 90-degree peel strength of the diffusion region from the primer layer 12 is preferably 0.3 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 N / 25 mm or more. Similarly, when a diffusion region is formed, from the viewpoint of reliability, the 90-degree peel strength of the cured material layer 20 from the diffusion region is preferably 0.3 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 N / 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 N / 25 mm or more.

[0076] The laminate of the present invention preferably has a total light transmittance of 90% or more, more preferably 90.5% or more, and even more preferably 91% or more. The laminate of the present embodiment also preferably has a refractive index of 1.441 or more and less than 1.541, and more preferably 1.47 or more and less than 1.530.

[0077] <Method for producing laminate> Next, a method for producing the laminate of the present invention will be described. In the following, a production method will be described for the case where the cured product layer 20 has a fine uneven shape (fine pattern) on its surface as shown in FIG.

[0078] First, a primer layer 12 is formed on a resin substrate 11, thereby obtaining a substrate film 10 having the primer layer 12 formed on the resin substrate 11. When the primer layer 12 is a urethane-based resin layer, the substrate film 10 can be obtained by applying an aqueous dispersion of urethane-based resin particles, in which urethane-based resin particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium such as water, to the resin substrate 11 and drying the dispersion to form a urethane-based resin layer as the primer layer 12. At this time, if the aqueous dispersion of urethane-based resin particles contains a crosslinking agent, the drying is followed by heating to cause a crosslinking reaction. Furthermore, after forming the primer layer 12, the substrate film 10 having the primer layer 12 formed on the resin substrate 11 may be stretched as necessary.

[0079] Next, a cured material layer 20 is formed on the thus obtained substrate film 10. The cured material layer 20 can be formed, for example, using a production apparatus shown in FIG.

[0080] In the production apparatus shown in Fig. 2, first, a substrate film 10 is continuously unwound from a substrate unwind roll 30, and the substrate film 10 passes through a guide roll 31 and is then coated on its surface in a T-die 40 with the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention to form a cured product layer 20, thereby forming a layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition on the surface. The thickness of the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition is controlled by adjusting the clearance formed between the T-die 40 and nip rolls 32 and the unwinding speed.

[0081] 2 is configured so that a film mold 60 is continuously unwound from a film mold unwind roll 33. The substrate film 10 on which the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition is formed and the film mold 60 are superimposed by a laminating roll 35 and an upstream backup roll 36. Here, the film mold 60 has a predetermined fine irregular shape on the surface facing the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition, and a laminate is formed in which the substrate film 10, the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition, and the film mold 60 are superimposed in this order such that the surface having the predetermined fine irregular shape is in contact with the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition.

[0082] Then, a laminate obtained by stacking the substrate film 10, the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition, and the film mold 60 in this order is irradiated with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays using an active energy ray irradiation device 50 such as an ultraviolet ray irradiation device, whereby the curable resin component constituting the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition is cured in a state in which the predetermined fine unevenness formed on the surface of the film mold 60 is transferred, thereby forming a cured product layer 20 having the desired fine unevenness on its surface, as shown in Fig. 1. Next, after undergoing a curing reaction by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays, the film passes between a laminating roll 35 and a downstream backup roll 37, and the film mold 60 is peeled from the substrate film 10 on which the cured product layer 20 is formed. The film mold 60 is then taken up by a film mold take-up roll 34, and the substrate film 10 on which the cured product layer 20 is formed is taken up by a substrate take-up roll 39 via a guide roll 38. Furthermore, if necessary, the film mold 60 may be used as a protective film by not peeling the film mold 60 from the substrate film 10 on which the cured material layer 20 is formed, but by winding the substrate film 10 on which the cured material layer 20 is formed and the film mold 60 via a guide roll 38 onto a substrate winding roll 39, or alternatively, after the film mold 60 is peeled from the substrate film 10 on which the cured material layer 20 is formed, a protective film may be attached to the surface of the cured material layer 20, and then the film mold 60 may be wound up onto the substrate winding roll 39.

[0083] 2, a laminate in which the cured material layer 20 is formed on the substrate film 10 is continuously produced as described above. The laminate in which the cured material layer 20 is formed on the substrate film 10 has the predetermined fine concave-convex shape formed on the film mold 60 transferred thereto, so that the laminate has the desired fine concave-convex shape on its surface.

[0084] The resin material constituting the resin film forming the film mold 60 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a thermoplastic resin, and examples thereof include polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), acrylic resins such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), carbonate resins such as polycarbonate (PC), amide resins such as nylon 6, cyclic olefin resin (COP), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), etc. Two or more of these may be laminated or mixed for use.

[0085] The resin material of the protective film is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc. Two or more of these may be laminated or mixed together.

[0086] 3, a cured product layer 20 having a desired fine unevenness on its surface can also be produced by using a laminating roll 35' having a predetermined fine unevenness on its surface, without using a film mold 60, so that the roll comes into direct contact with the layer 20a made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition formed on the substrate film 10. A schematic diagram of the production apparatus is shown in FIG.

[0087] The laminate of the present invention has a cured layer formed from the active energy ray-curable resin composition of the present invention described above, and therefore has excellent transparency and effectively suppresses changes in hue due to light guide distance. In particular, the laminate of the present invention can suppress the hue change Δxy over the distance between two points, and particularly, can suppress the hue change Δxy even when the light guide distance is relatively long. As a result, even when used in combination with a primary light source consisting of a white LED, the decrease in transmittance is small and yellowing of the emitted light at the light exit surface can be suppressed. Therefore, the laminate of the present invention can be suitably used as a light guide plate for various liquid crystal display devices and lighting devices, such as liquid crystal display devices using white LEDs, and can effectively suppress changes in color even when used as a light guide plate for various liquid crystal display devices and lighting devices.

[0088] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The methods for evaluating each property are as follows.

[0091] <Reaction rate of cured product> The active energy ray-curable resin composition and the cured product of the active energy ray-curable resin composition were subjected to FT-IR measurement by the single reflection ATR method using a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (product name "FT / IR-6600" manufactured by JASCO Corporation). The measurement was carried out under the following conditions: Number of accumulations: 16 (same for background measurement) Wavenumber resolution: 4 cm -1 Measurement wave number range: 600 to 4000 cm -1 ATR crystal: diamond Incident angle: 45° In the IR spectrum of the obtained active energy ray-curable resin composition, a wave number of 1720 cm -1 The line connecting the bases on both sides of the absorption peak resulting from the stretching vibration of the carbonyl group of the ester in the vicinity was used as the baseline, and the length from the intersection point of a line drawn perpendicular to the baseline from the peak to the peak was defined as the peak height (A 0_1720 ) Then, the wave number was 810 cm -1 The line connecting the bases on both sides of the absorption peak resulting from the C-H out-of-plane bending vibration of the ethylenically unsaturated group in the vicinity of the peak is taken as the baseline, and the length from the intersection point of a line drawn perpendicular to the baseline from the peak to the peak is taken as the peak height (A 0_810 In addition, in the IR spectrum of the cured product of the active energy ray-curable resin composition, the peak height (A _1720 ), (A _810 Using the value thus obtained, the reaction rate of the curable component constituting the active energy ray-curable resin composition was measured according to the following formula: Reaction rate (%) = (1 - ((A _810) / (A _1720 )) / ((A 0_810 ) / (A 0_1720 ))) x 100

[0092] <Total Light Transmittance, Haze Value> The total light transmittance and haze value of the laminate were measured in accordance with JIS K 7105 and JIS K 7136 using a turbidity meter (product name "Haze Meter NDH2000", manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.).

[0093] <Refractive Index> The refractive index of the active energy ray-curable resin composition was measured at 589 nm (D line) using an Abbe refractometer (product name "NAR-1T SOLID", manufactured by Atago Co., Ltd.) at a measurement temperature of 20° C. The refractive index of the cured product of the active energy ray-curable resin composition was measured in the same manner as above, except that diiodomethane was used as the contact liquid.

[0094] <Indentation Hardness of Cured Layer 20> The indentation hardness of the laminate was measured using an ultra-microindentation hardness tester (product name "ENT-5", manufactured by ELIONIX) with a Berkovich indenter under an indentation load of 0.1 mN, and this was taken as the indentation hardness of the cured layer.

[0095] <Thickness of Diffusion Region> A cross section of the laminate was prepared using an ultramicrotome, and line analysis was performed on the cured layer, the urethane resin layer, and the acrylic resin substrate in this order using a Raman spectrophotometer (product name "NRS-5500", manufactured by JASCO Corporation) under the following conditions: Exposure time: 60 sec, Number of integrations: 1, Range: 600 to 3000 cm -1 Grating: L600 / B500nm Laser: 532.31nm Slit: φ25mm In the obtained Raman spectrum, 2800-3000cm -1 After normalization by the maximum peak intensity of the hardened layer, the distance from the start point to the end point of attenuation of the peak intensity derived from the components of the hardened layer was determined as the thickness of the diffusion region.

[0096] Example 1 An easy-adhesion composition prepared by mixing 20.6 parts by weight of an aqueous polyurethane (product name "Superflex 210R, solids content: 34 wt %, manufactured by Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.), 5.2 parts by weight of an oxoxalin-containing aqueous polymer solution (product name "Epocross WS-700, solids content: 25 wt %, manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.), 2.8 parts by weight of 1 wt % ammonia water, 7.5 parts by weight of a 20% aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica (product name "Quattron PL-3", manufactured by Fuso Chemical Co., Ltd.), and 63.9 parts by weight of pure water was applied to the surface of an acrylic resin film, and the film was stretched to twice its original size in both the longitudinal direction (MD) and the width direction (TD) using a simultaneous biaxial stretching tenter in a heating furnace at 140°C, to obtain a substrate film 10 having a 0.3 μm-thick urethane resin layer (primer layer 12) formed on a 40 μm-thick acrylic resin substrate (resin substrate 11).

[0097] Next, an active energy ray-curable resin composition having the following composition was applied to the obtained substrate film 10, and a smooth polyethylene terephthalate film (product name "Emblet S-25", manufactured by Unitika Ltd.) was laminated thereon. Next, a UV irradiation amount of 971 mJ / cm was applied using a UV irradiation device. 2 The active energy ray-curable resin composition was cured at 150°C under the conditions described above, thereby obtaining a laminate in which a cured layer 20 (thickness of the cured layer 20: 15 μm) made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition was formed on the substrate film 10. The polyethylene terephthalate film was then peeled off to obtain a laminate, and various measurements were carried out according to the above-mentioned methods. The results are shown in Table 1. The refractive index of the cured product constituting the cured layer 20 was evaluated by applying an active energy ray-curable resin composition having the following composition to a smooth polyethylene terephthalate film, laminating the smooth polyethylene terephthalate film, and then using a UV irradiation device, applying a UV irradiation dose of 971 mJ / cm. 2By curing the composition at 400°C, a laminate was obtained in which a cured layer 20 (thickness of the cured layer 20: 40 μm) made of the active energy ray-curable resin composition was formed on a polyethylene terephthalate film. Then, measurements were performed on the active energy ray-curable resin composition obtained by peeling off the polyethylene terephthalate films on both sides. In addition, the 90-degree peel strength and Δxy of the cured layer 20 were measured by preparing a measurement sample using the following method.

[0098] <Composition of active energy ray-curable resin composition> Tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (product name "Viscoat #150", manufactured by Osaka Organic Chemical Industry, Ltd., molecular weight 156.2, component (a1)): 40 parts by weight Polypropylene glycol diacrylate (product name "Aronix M-220", manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., molecular weight 300.3, component (b1)): 50 parts by weight Bifunctional polyacrylic acrylate (product name "EBECRYL 1710", manufactured by Daicel Allnex Corporation, weight-average molecular weight 39429, component (b3)): 10 parts by weight 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (product name "Omnirad 184", manufactured by IGM Resins, α-hydroxyketone-based photopolymerization initiator): 2 parts by weight

[0099] <90-degree peel strength of cured layer 20> In the above procedure, instead of the polyethylene terephthalate film, an easy-adhesion PET film (38 μm, Cosmoshine A4300, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.) was laminated, and the active energy ray-curable resin composition was cured to obtain a laminate in which a cured layer 20 was formed on a substrate film 10. A sample measuring 25 mm wide x 150 mm long was prepared from the laminate with the easy-adhesion PET film superimposed thereon, and the acrylic resin substrate surface of the laminate was attached and fixed to a test plate with double-sided tape. Next, a tensile tester (product name "Tensilon Universal Material Tester RTC-1210A", manufactured by ORIENTEC Co., Ltd.) was used to pinch the edge of the easy-adhesion PET film at the contact surface between the urethane resin layer and the cured layer 20, and a 90-degree peel test was performed at a pulling rate of 200 mm / min to measure the 90-degree peel strength (unit: N / 25 mm). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0100] <Measurement of Δxy> First, a film (shape-transfer film) having a fine pattern imparted thereto was produced according to the method described in JP-A-2013-524288. Specifically, an active energy ray-curable resin composition was applied to the surface of a film made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and then an optical pattern was embossed and irradiated with ultraviolet light to produce the desired shape-transfer film. The total thickness of the shape-transfer film was 55 μm. FIG. 4(A) shows a plan view of a portion of the produced shape-transfer film from the side. FIG. 4(B) also shows the 4B-4B' cross section of FIG. 4(A). A plurality of recesses having a triangular cross section with a length L of 80 μm, a width W of 14 μm, and a depth H of 10 μm were arranged at intervals of 155 μm in the X-axis direction. Furthermore, such recess patterns were arranged at intervals of 100 μm in the Y-axis direction with a width D. The density of the recesses on the surface of the produced shaped film was 3612 / cm 2 In FIG. 4B, θa and θb were 41°, and the occupied area ratio of the recesses when the manufactured shaped film was viewed in plan from the fine pattern surface side was 4.05%.

[0101] Then, one release film of a 50 μm thick optical adhesive tape (product name "CS9862" manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation) was peeled off and bonded to the surface opposite the fine pattern-forming surface of the shaped film obtained above, to obtain test piece A. Next, test piece A was cut to a size of 150 mm wide and 800 mm long, and the other release film of the optical adhesive tape was peeled off, and the surface of the adhesive layer of the exposed optical adhesive tape was attached to a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plate (width 150 mm, length 1000 mm, thickness 5 mm, product name "Acrylite", manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) with an opening of 200 mm from the end to obtain test piece B. Then, as shown in Figure 5, light was incident from an end of test piece A 200 mm apart using an LED light source (color temperature 5000K), and measurement was performed on the entire test piece B using a two-dimensional spectroluminometer (product name "SR-5000", manufactured by TOPCON Corporation). Chromaticity (xy, CIE1931) was extracted at 250 mm and 950 mm from the light incident end, and Δxy was calculated according to the following formula. The smaller the Δxy value, the more effectively the change in hue due to the light guide distance is suppressed, and it can be determined that the color change due to the light guide distance is small.
