Description

Films, multilayer bodies, and heat-bent molded bodies

[0001] This invention relates to films, multilayers, and heat-bendable molded articles. In particular, it relates to films having polycarbonate resin as a main component.

[0002] Polycarbonate resin is produced by the condensation polymerization of aromatic diols such as bisphenol A and carbonate precursors such as phosgene. It possesses excellent impact strength, numerical stability, heat resistance, and transparency, and is applied to a wide range of fields, including exterior materials for electrical and electronic products, automotive parts, building materials, and optical components.

[0003] On the other hand, optical lenses used in sunglasses and the like require a transmittance that does not affect the field of view while also preventing glare from external light sources. Furthermore, they need to protect the eyes from harmful light rays of specific wavelengths, such as ultraviolet light. Therefore, various technologies have been developed to use polycarbonate resin, which possesses excellent optical properties in addition to mechanical properties, for optical lenses used in outdoor activities such as sunglasses (Patent Documents 1, 2, etc.).

[0005] Previously, the incorporation of UV absorbers into polycarbonate resin films used for sunglass lenses has been considered. However, in recent years, the glare from blue LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) has become a problem, and there is a demand for polycarbonate resin films that can suppress the glare of blue LEDs. On the other hand, even if a polycarbonate resin film can suppress the glare of blue LEDs, its usefulness as sunglasses will be reduced if it cannot transmit light with a wavelength of around 485 nm. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provides a film that can cut ultraviolet rays, suppress the glare of blue LEDs, and transmit light of 485 nm or greater, as well as a multilayer and a heat-bending molded article.

[0006] Based on the above problems, the inventors conducted research and found that the above problems can be solved by blending a predetermined amount of a yellow dye having a predetermined absorption coefficient with an ultraviolet absorber into a polycarbonate resin.

[0011] The film of this embodiment is a film comprising a polycarbonate resin, a yellow dye, and an ultraviolet absorber, wherein the yellow dye has an absorption coefficient (I) at a wavelength of 520 nm. ５２０ ) is 1.0 × 10 －７The film is characterized by having a particle size of 1 / ppm·μm or less, a content of the yellow dye of 100 to 4000 ppm per 100 parts by mass of the polycarbonate resin, a content of 0.01 to 1 part by mass of the ultraviolet absorber, an average light transmittance of the film at wavelengths of 350 to 460 nm of 5.0% or less, and a light transmittance of the film at a wavelength of 485 nm of 20.0% or more. With this configuration, it is possible to provide a film that can cut ultraviolet rays, suppress the glare of blue LEDs, and transmit light of 485 nm or higher. The UV cut is achieved by blending an ultraviolet absorber into the polycarbonate resin. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that the glare of blue LEDs originates from light with a peak wavelength of 460 nm, and that if light around 460 nm can be cut, the glare of blue LEDs can be cut. On the other hand, if light rays with a wavelength of 485 nm are also cut out in addition to light rays with a wavelength of 460 nm, the visibility of objects will decrease, resulting in a lack of performance as sunglasses. Under these circumstances, the inventors conducted studies and found that the absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 520 nm (I ５２０ ) is 1.0 × 10 －７ We found that by using a predetermined amount of yellow dye with a particle size of 1 / ppm·μm or less, it is possible to cut down on the glare of blue LEDs while still allowing sufficient transmission of 485nm light.

By including the specified yellow dye in the above ratio, a film can be obtained that effectively cuts glare from blue LEDs while transmitting light rays with a wavelength of approximately 485 nm.

The film of this embodiment may contain only one of the above-mentioned yellow dyes, or it may contain two or more. If it contains two or more, I ５２０ This is the I of each yellow dye. ５２０ This is the sum (weighted average) of the values ​​obtained by multiplying by the mass fraction of each yellow dye. The absorption coefficient I at a wavelength of 460 nm will be described later. ４６０ The same applies to this matter.

In other words, even with a reduced amount of yellow dye, the glare originating from the blue LED can be effectively suppressed. ５２０ / I ４６０ The lower limit is, for example, 1.0 × 10 -3 That's all.

[0022] The method for measuring the absorption coefficient of the yellow dye can be the general method used to measure the absorption coefficient of dyes. Specifically, it can be measured using the method described in the examples.

[0023] Examples of yellow dyes include dyes whose color index (CI) is classified as solvent yellow. The yellow dyes used in this embodiment include solvent yellow 33, 201, 93, 104, 167, etc., and preferably include at least one of solvent yellow 33, 201 (compounds represented by formula (YP)).

The film was then cooled and solidified using only the first roll of a film / sheet take-up device (Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd., "FT3W20") to produce a polycarbonate resin film. The cylinder / die head temperature was 280°C and the roll temperature was 130°C. The roll speed of the first roll was adjusted so that the final film thickness was 500 μm.

[0063] <Average Light Transmittance at Wavelengths of 350–460 nm> The average light transmittance of the obtained polycarbonate resin film was measured at wavelengths of 350–460 nm. Specifically, a spectrophotometer was used to measure the light transmittance (unit: %) of the film at wavelengths of 350–460 nm under conditions of a scan speed of 300 nm / min and a sampling interval of 1 nm. The average value was calculated from the light transmittance values ​​for each 1 nm wavelength.

[0071] As is clear from the above results, the film of this embodiment was able to cut out light in the ultraviolet region, reduce the glare of the blue LED, and transmit light with a wavelength of 485 nm (Examples 1 to 5). In contrast, when the yellow dye and ultraviolet absorber were not included (Comparative Example 1), the glare of the blue LED could not be cut out. Furthermore, light in the ultraviolet region was also transmitted. ５２０ 1.0 × 10 －７ When the concentration exceeded ppm·μm (Comparative Example 2), the glare of the blue LED was reduced, but light with a wavelength of 485 nm could not be transmitted. Also, when the yellow dye content was below the lower limit of the present invention (Comparative Example 3), the glare of the blue LED could not be reduced. Furthermore, light in the ultraviolet region was also transmitted. On the other hand, when the yellow dye content exceeded the upper limit of the present invention (Comparative Example 4), light with a wavelength of 485 nm could not be transmitted. Also, when no ultraviolet absorber was included (Comparative Example 5), light in the ultraviolet region could not be reduced.
