Description

Photocurable resin composition for imprinting

[0001] The present invention relates to a photocurable resin composition for imprinting and a resin mold obtained by curing the photocurable resin composition for imprinting.

[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. As such optical functional sheets, shaped films formed by imparting a predetermined uneven shape to the surface of a resin film are known. Such shaped films are usually produced by press molding using a molded plate with the desired uneven shape, or by injection molding.

[0004] As another method for imparting a predetermined uneven shape to the surface of a resin film, for example, an imprinting method using a resin mold is proposed in Patent Document 1. In the technology described in Patent Document 1, a composition containing a fluorine compound or a silicon compound is used as a photocurable resin composition used in the resin mold from the viewpoint of improving the releasability and durability of the resin mold.

[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0026] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for a shaped film using a resin mold in this embodiment, Fig. 2(A) is a cross-sectional view of a resin mold laminate in this embodiment, and Fig. 2(B) is an enlarged view of part IIB in Fig. 2(A). Note that the present invention is not particularly limited to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1.

[0027] <Method for manufacturing a shaped film> In the manufacturing apparatus shown in Fig. 1 , first, a substrate film 40 to be transferred is continuously unwound from a substrate unwind roll 10. After passing through a guide roll 11, a photocurable photocurable resin composition to be transferred is applied to the surface of the substrate film 40 in a T-die 20, thereby forming a photocurable resin composition layer to be transferred 50. The thickness of the photocurable resin composition layer to be transferred 50 is controlled by adjusting the clearance between the T-die 20 and the nip roll 12 and the unwinding speed of the substrate unwind roll 10.

[0028] In the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 , a resin mold laminate 60 is continuously unwound from a resin mold unwind roll 13. A substrate film 40 on which a photocurable resin composition layer 50 is formed and the resin mold laminate 60 are superimposed by a laminating roll 15 and an upstream backup roll 16. Here, as shown in FIG. 2 , the resin mold laminate 60 includes a substrate film 70 and a resin mold 80. A predetermined uneven shape (fine pattern 81) is formed on the surface of the resin mold 80. Returning to FIG. 1 , the substrate film 40, the photocurable resin composition layer 50, and the resin mold laminate 60 are superimposed in this order, with the uneven surface of the resin mold laminate 60 in contact with the photocurable resin composition layer 50.

[0029] Next, the ultraviolet irradiation device 30 irradiates the photocurable resin composition layer 50 to be transferred from the side of the substrate film 40, thereby curing the curable resin material that constitutes the photocurable resin composition layer 50 to form a cured resin layer 51. At this time, the curable resin material is cured in a state in which the fine pattern 81 on the surface of the resin mold 80 is transferred. Therefore, the cured resin layer 51 has a desired uneven shape on its surface.

[0030] Next, the transferred substrate film 40, the cured resin layer 51, and the resin mold laminate 60, while stacked on one another, pass between the laminating roll 15 and the downstream backup roll 17. The resin mold laminate 60 is peeled off from the cured resin layer 51 by being taken up by the resin mold take-up roll 14. The cured resin layer 51 and the transferred substrate film 40 are taken up by the substrate take-up roll 19 via a guide roll 18.

[0031] In this manner, a shape-transfer film is continuously produced, which is formed by laminating the cured resin layer 51 and the transfer-receiving substrate film 40. A fine uneven shape is formed on the surface of the cured resin layer 51 by transferring the fine pattern 81 of the resin mold 80. For this reason, the shape-transfer film, which is formed by laminating the cured resin layer 51 and the transfer-receiving substrate film 40, is suitably used for various optical applications, for example, as an optical functional sheet that utilizes effects such as reflection, refraction, and scattering.

[0032] The manufacturing method and the configuration of the shaped film are not particularly limited to those described above. For example, instead of the photocurable resin composition for transfer containing a curable resin material, a molten resin may be used and the molten resin may be cured by cooling to obtain the cured resin layer 51.

[0033] The photocurable resin composition for imprinting of the present invention is suitably used as a constituent material of the resin mold 80 of the above-mentioned resin mold laminate 60.

By using a compound (B) containing three or more and six or less ethylenically unsaturated groups as the compound (B) containing two or more ethylenically unsaturated groups and having a molecular weight of 100 or more and less than 700, it is possible to provide a resin mold made from the photocurable resin composition for imprints with excellent transferability, releasability, and durability.

The height H of the micropattern 81 is preferably 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and more preferably 3 μm or more and 50 μm or less. The height H of the micropattern 81 is the length from the apex to the base of the triangular cross section C in FIG. 2(B). That is, the height H of the micropattern 81 is the difference in height between the highest and lowest points of the cross section of the concave-convex shape of the micropattern 81. The height H of the micropattern 81 can be determined by observing the cross section of the resin mold 80 with a laser microscope or the like. The method for forming the fine pattern 81 on the surface of the resin mold 80 is not particularly limited, but an example thereof includes a method, as described below, in which a die (mold) engraved with a fine concave-convex shape is pressed against the photocurable resin composition for imprinting before curing, the photocurable resin composition for imprinting is irradiated with ultraviolet light to cure it, and then the mold is peeled off. The resin mold 80 is made of a cured product of the photocurable resin composition for imprinting of the present invention, and therefore has an excellent transfer rate from the die.

The length of each side of the uneven shape and the interior angle of each vertex may or may not be equal. The height H of the micropattern 81 can be determined as the difference between the highest and lowest points of the uneven shape in the cross section. By using the photocurable resin composition for imprinting of the present invention, it is possible to produce a micropattern having a triangular uneven shape that is resistant to deformation and folding.

[0059] The thickness of the resin mold 80 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 μm or more and 120 μm or less, more preferably 3 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and even more preferably 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

[0070] <Nanoindentation hardness and elastic deformation rate> A loading / unloading test was performed on the surface of the cured product of the photocurable resin composition for imprinting using an ultra-microhardness tester (ENT-1100a, manufactured by ELIONIX) at a surface temperature of 30°C using a Berkovich indenter under an indentation load of 0.1 mN and a loading rate of 0.010 mN / sec, to measure the nanoindentation hardness and elastic deformation rate.

[0071] <Element Concentration> A wide scan analysis was performed on the surface of the cured product of the photocurable resin composition for imprinting using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (K-Alpha, manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific), and a narrow scan analysis was performed on each detected element. Each obtained spectrum was subjected to charge correction based on the C1s peak position (284.8 eV) using analysis software (Avantage, manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific), background removal was performed using the smart background function, and normalized peak areas were calculated using Scofield relative sensitivity coefficient correction. The atomic % of each element was calculated from the ratio of the normalized peak area of ​​each element to the total normalized peak area of ​​each element.

[0072] Example 1 A photocurable resin composition for imprinting having the following formulation was prepared: The viscosity of this photocurable resin composition for imprinting was measured by the method described above. N-vinyl-5-methyloxazolidinone (product name "VMOX", manufactured by BASF, component (A)) 50 parts by weight Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (product name "M-309", manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., component (B)) 20 parts by weight Dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (product name "DPHA", manufactured by Daicel-Allnex Corporation, also containing dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate as a by-product, component (B)) 20 parts by weight Trifluoroethyl acrylate (product name "Viscoat 3F", manufactured by Osaka Organic Chemical Industry Ltd., component (C)) 10 parts by weight HMPP: 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (product name "2-Hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone", manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., α-hydroxyketone-based photopolymerization initiator) 5 parts by weight

[0073] (Preparation and Evaluation of Cured Product) A curable resin composition for imprinting was applied to the adhesion-treated surface of a PET film with an adhesion-enhancing layer (product name "Panaclear AC-M", manufactured by Panac Corporation, total light transmittance at a wavelength of 365 nm of 82%, thickness of 72 μm), and a smooth PET film (product name "Emblet S-25", manufactured by Unitika Ltd., total light transmittance at a wavelength of 365 nm of 84%, thickness of 25 μm) was laminated on the photocurable resin composition for imprinting. Next, using a metal halide lamp, illuminance at a wavelength of 365 nm: 100 mW / cm 2 , integrated light amount at wavelength 365 nm: 1000 mJ / cm 2The photocurable resin composition for imprinting was irradiated with light through the PET film with the easy-adhesion layer under the conditions above, and the photocurable resin composition for imprinting was cured to obtain a cured product with a thickness of 15 μm. The surface of the cured product revealed by peeling off the smooth PET film was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the results were a C concentration of 70.3 atomic%, an O concentration of 22.9 atomic%, an N concentration of 6.1 atomic%, an Si concentration of 0.0 atomic%, and an F concentration of 0.8 atomic%. The surface of the cured product of the photocurable resin composition for imprinting obtained in this manner was evaluated for nanoindentation hardness and elastic deformation rate using the methods described above. A cured product was also prepared in the same manner as described above, except that the PET film with the easy-adhesion layer was replaced with a smooth PET film and the thickness of the cured product was changed to 50 μm. The two smooth PET films were then peeled off, and the glass transition temperature of the cured product was evaluated.

[0074] (Production and Evaluation of Resin Mold 80) Fig. 4(A) is a plan view of the mold 100 used in the examples, and Fig. 4(B) is a cross-sectional view of the prism shape 300 of the mold 100, and is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the IVB-IVB' cross section of Fig. 4(A). First, NiP plating was applied to a roll 200 having a roll width (length) of 350 mm and a roll diameter of φ250 mm, and the NiP plating was cut along the longitudinal direction of the roll 200 to obtain a mold 100 having prism shapes 300 formed on the surface, as shown in Figs. 4(A) and 4(B). The prism height H of the prism shape 300 was 0 is 9 μm, prism width W 0 is 18.5 μm, and the prism angle θ 0 is 100°, prism spacing D 0 The line segment 310 in FIG. 4A represents the ridge line of the prism shape 300.

[0075] The curable resin composition for imprinting was applied onto a PET film with an easy-adhesion layer as the base film 70. Next, the mold 100 was pressed against the photocurable resin composition for imprinting so that the prism shapes 300 of the mold 100 were in contact with the photocurable resin composition for imprinting. Next, with the mold 100 pressed against the photocurable resin composition, a metal halide lamp was used to illuminate the composition at a wavelength of 365 nm with an illuminance of 100 mW / cm. 2 , integrated light amount at wavelength 365 nm: 1000 mJ / cm 2 The photocurable resin composition for imprinting was irradiated with light under the conditions above to cure the photocurable resin composition for imprinting. This resulted in a resin mold 80 having a fine pattern 81 on its surface, and a resin mold laminate 60 formed by laminating the resin mold 80 and a substrate film 70. The thickness of the resin mold 80 was 16 μm. The transfer rate from the metal mold 100 of this resin mold 80 was evaluated by the following method.

[0076] <Transfer rate from mold 100 to resin mold 80> Using a laser microscope (controller unit: VK-X3000, head unit: VK-X3100, manufactured by Keyence Corporation), the height H of the fine pattern 81 on the resin mold 80 was measured under the condition of an objective lens of 150x magnification. The transfer rate from the mold 100 to the resin mold 80 was calculated based on the following formula. The transfer rate was evaluated as follows: Transfer rate from mold 100 to resin mold 80 = height H of the fine pattern 81 on the resin mold 80 / height H of the prism shape 300 on the mold 100 0 × 100 (%) Excellent: Transfer rate to resin mold 80 is 95% or more. Passable: Transfer rate to resin mold 80 is 90% or more but less than 95%. Failable: Transfer rate to resin mold 80 is less than 90%.

[0077] (Transfer to Receiving Resin and Evaluation) A photocurable resin composition (a) to be transferred was applied to the easy-adhesion layer side of an acrylic resin film (product name "Fine Cast Film", manufactured by Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd.) with an easy-adhesion layer on one side as a receiving substrate film. The composition of the photocurable resin composition (a) to be transferred was shown in Table 6. The resin mold 80 was pressed against the photocurable resin composition to be transferred so that the fine pattern 81 of the resin mold 80 was in contact with the photocurable resin composition to be transferred. While the resin mold 80 was pressed against the photocurable resin composition to be transferred, light was irradiated onto the photocurable resin composition to cure the photocurable resin composition to obtain a transferee in which the transferee cured layer and the resin mold 80 were laminated on the transferee substrate. As a result, a fine pattern in which the fine pattern 81 was transferred to the surface of the transferee cured layer was formed. Using this transferee, the 90-degree peel strength and transfer rate were evaluated by the following methods.

[0078] <90-degree peel strength of resin mold 80 from transfer resin> A sample measuring 25 mm wide x 150 mm long was prepared from the transfer object, and the surface of the transfer substrate was attached to a test plate using double-sided tape. Next, a tensile tester ("Tensilon Universal Material Tester RTC-1210A", manufactured by ORIENTEC Co., Ltd.) was used to clamp the end of the resin mold 80 and perform a 90-degree peel test at a pulling rate of 200 mm / min, and the 90-degree peel strength [unit: N / 25 mm] of the contact surface between the resin mold 80 and the transfer cured layer was measured. The smaller the 90-degree peel strength value, the better the resin mold 80's peelability from the transfer resin can be determined to be.

[0079] <Transfer rate from resin mold 80 to the transferee resin> The resin mold 80 was peeled off and separated from the transferee. The transfer rate from the resin mold 80 to the transferee resin was calculated based on the following formula. The transfer rate was evaluated as follows. The closer the transfer rate expressed by the formula below is to 100%, the better the resin mold 80 is judged to be at transferring to the transferee resin. The height of the fine pattern of the transferee resin was measured in the same manner as the height H of the fine pattern 81 of the resin mold 80. Transfer rate from the resin mold 80 to the transferee resin = height of the fine pattern of the transferee resin / height H' of the fine pattern 81 of the resin mold 80 after transfer × 100 (%) Excellent: transfer rate to the transferee resin of 95% or more Fair: transfer rate to the transferee resin of 90% or more but less than 95% Poor: transfer rate to the transferee resin of less than 90%

[0080] <Retention rate of prism shape of resin mold 80> The resin mold 80 was peeled off and separated from the transfer target object. The retention rate of the prism shape of the resin mold 80 was calculated based on the following formula. The retention rate of the prism shape was evaluated as follows. The closer the retention rate of the prism shape expressed by the formula below is to 100%, the more excellent the durability of the resin mold 80 can be judged to be. Retention rate of prism shape of resin mold 80 = Height H' of the fine pattern 81 of the resin mold 80 after separation / Height H of the prism shape 300 of the metal mold 100 0 × 100 (%) Excellent: The retention rate of the prism shape of the resin mold 80 is 95% or more. Passable: The retention rate of the prism shape of the resin mold 80 is 90% or more but less than 95%. Failable: The retention rate of the prism shape of the resin mold 80 is less than 90%.
