Background technology
Usually, polarization plates has following structure: wherein on the both sides of the polaroid (polarizing coating) of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composition by using the aqueous adhesive that is formed by the aqueous solution based on PVA to carry out lamination triacetyl cellulose (hereinafter, being called TAC) film (Fig. 1).If in the situation that do not have independent compensate film to use the polarization plates with said structure can make visual angle deteriorated.Therefore, sometimes use zero-lag TAC (hereinafter, being called Z-TAC) film to replace a kind of in two kinds of TAC films, occur hardly to postpone in thickness direction retardation and face in the Z-TAC film, therefore improved visual angle.
Yet for the moisture of the film for containing the TAC composition, Z-TAC is basically very poor, when life-time service, the problem of the weather resistance that produces because of dimensional change occurred., in order to address this problem, attempted using the film of the composition with high wet fastness and low retardance, for example based on the resin of cycloolefin or based on the resin (acryl-based resin) of acrylate.Especially, for the film that comprises based on the composition of acrylate, known its be favourable aspect optical property, weather resistance and cost.
, when when with the TAC film, as protective membrane, preparing polarization plates,, for the polaroid-bindnig with the PVA composition, mainly use the PVA aqueous adhesive.Simultaneously,, in order to improve bond strength, carry out alkaline purification or corona treatment to the surface of TAC film.Yet, when using acrylate films (acryl film) and PVA aqueous adhesive to prepare polarization plates, be difficult to by with alkaline purification or corona treatment, guaranteeing easily bond strength., for known TAC film,, because by alkaline purification or corona treatment, introduced hydrophilic radical (for example hydroxyl) on the surface of film,, by the hydrogen bonding of the tackiness agent with based on PVA, can easily guarantee bond strength.Yet, even make the surface of acrylate films through corona treatment or Cement Composite Treated by Plasma, because the quantity of the hydrophilic radical of introducing is few, with the hydrogen bonding of tackiness agent based on PVA be inadequate, make the sufficient bond strength between the polaroid that can't guarantee acrylate films and PVA composition.
In order to adhere to acrylate films and polaroid, can use the UV curable adhesive based on acrylate, but alleged occurrence following point: (1) is in the polarization plates preparation technology of routine, because use aqueous adhesive, in the situation that use the UV curable adhesive, need independent UV program curing, and because use, have volatile flammable monomer, explosion-proof equipment that need to be extra; (2) thickness of known PVA aqueous adhesive can be made in 100nm by controlling solids content and process management, but be difficult to will be based on the gauge control of the UV curable adhesive of acrylate at 1nm with interior or lower, make the problem that the polarization plates fracture can occur along with the increase of the brittleness of binder layer; And (3) can easily realize bonding with acrylate films, but be not easy to guarantee the bond strength with polaroid., in order to guarantee and the bond strength of polaroid, can comprise a large amount of acid-reaction groups, but in view of the technique corrosion that is caused by acid and operating environment, this not preferred.
Therefore, in order preparing, to use the polarization plates of acrylate films as the protective membrane of polaroid, to use that to can be used in already known processes and the aqueous adhesive of stable polarization plates performance can relatively easily be provided be favourable.Therefore, need to develop the aqueous adhesive that is more suitable for polarization plates and blooming.
