Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following examples of manufacture and examples, but the present invention is not limited to the examples of manufacture and examples, and can be carried out by any method without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The antiglare laminate (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "resin sheet") of the present invention is provided with a layer containing a high-hardness resin (B) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "high-hardness resin layer" or "high-hardness layer") and a hard coat layer having a concavo-convex shape on at least one side of a layer containing a resin (a) containing a polycarbonate resin (al) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "base layer"). The substrate layer may be a layer composed of a resin (a) containing a polycarbonate resin (al). The high-hardness layer may be a layer made of a high-hardness resin (B).
The high-hardness resin layer is present between the base material layer and the hard coat layer in the order of lamination, and the outermost surface of the hard coat layer which is the outermost surface layer is provided with a concavo-convex shape. The other surface of the layer containing the resin (a) containing the polycarbonate resin (al) is not particularly specified, and two layers of a high-hardness resin layer and a hard coat layer, or one of them may be provided.
As the high-hardness resin layer, a resin selected from the high-hardness resins (B) is preferably used, and when the high-hardness resin layers are provided on both surfaces of the base layer, it is more preferable to use the same high-hardness resin (B) on both surfaces for the purpose of shape stability.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the hard coat layer has a concavo-convex shape. In the case where the hard coat layers are formed on both sides, the same hard coat layer is preferably provided because the shape stability is better.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the antiglare laminate can be used, for example, in a car navigation system, a Central Information Display (CID), a rear seat entertainment system (RSE), an instrument panel (cluster), and the like, a touch panel protective panel, and a front panel for OA equipment, portable electronic equipment, or television, which are display devices for vehicles. The front panel can be used alone as a front panel of a liquid crystal display device, for example, but may be used as a front panel after being combined with another substrate such as a touch sensor, for example.
Hereinafter, each component member of the antiglare laminate of the present invention will be described.
(resin (A) containing polycarbonate resin (a 1))
The resin (a) containing the polycarbonate resin (a1) used in the present invention is a resin mainly containing the polycarbonate resin (a 1). The content of the polycarbonate resin (a1) in the resin (a) is 75% by mass or more, but since the impact resistance can be improved by increasing the content, it is preferably 90% by mass or more, more preferably 100% by mass.
The polycarbonate resin (al) is not particularly limited as long as it contains a carbonate bond in the main molecular chain, that is, contains a unit of- [ O-R-OCO ] (R is an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or both an aliphatic group and an aromatic group, and has a linear structure or a branched structure), and a polycarbonate resin containing a structural unit of the following formula (4) is particularly preferably used. By using such a polycarbonate resin, an antiglare laminate having excellent impact resistance can be obtained.
Specifically, as the polycarbonate resin (a1), an aromatic polycarbonate resin (for example, product names: Ipiplon S-2000, Ipiplon S-1000, Ipiplon E-2000, manufactured by Mitsubishi engineering plastics Co., Ltd.) and the like can be used, but not limited thereto.
Further, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for bending front panels as well, and therefore, it is preferable to use a polycarbonate resin (al) obtained by using a monophenol represented by the following general formula (5) as a chain terminator.
(in the formula, R1Represents an alkyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms, R2~R5Each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which may have a substituent, or an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atomsThe substituent is halogen, alkyl having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or aryl having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. )
More preferably, the monohydric phenol represented by the general formula (5) is represented by the following general formula (6).
(in the formula, R1Represents an alkyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 8 to 36 carbon atoms. )
More preferably R in the formula (5) or the formula (6)1Within a specified range of values. Specifically, as R1The upper limit of the number of carbon atoms of (3) is preferably 36, more preferably 22, and particularly preferably 18. In addition, as R1The lower limit of the number of carbon atoms of (2) is preferably 8, more preferably 12.
Among the monophenols (chain terminators) represented by the general formula (5) or the general formula (6), it is particularly preferable to use either or both of cetyl paraben and 2-hexyldecyl paraben as the chain terminator.
Using R in the formula (6)1For example, a monophenol (chain terminator) having an alkyl group having 16 carbon atoms is particularly preferable as the chain terminator to be used for the polycarbonate resin of the present invention because it is excellent in glass transition temperature, melt flowability, moldability, sag resistance, and solvent solubility of the monophenol in the production of the polycarbonate resin.
On the other hand, R in the general formula (5) or the general formula (6)1When the number of carbon atoms of (b) is excessively increased, the solubility of the monohydric phenol (chain terminator) in the organic solvent tends to be lowered, and the productivity in the production of the polycarbonate resin may be lowered.
For example, provided that R is1Has 36 or less carbon atoms, and is excellent in productivity and economical efficiency in the production of a polycarbonate resin. Provided that R is1Has 22 or less carbon atoms, has particularly excellent solubility in organic solvents of monophenols, and can provide a polycarbonate resin having very high productivity and improved economy.
General formula (5) or general formula (6) R in (1)1When the number of carbon atoms of (2) is too small, the glass transition temperature of the polycarbonate resin may not be sufficiently low, and the thermoformability may be deteriorated.
In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin (al) affects the impact resistance and molding conditions of the antiglare laminate. That is, when the weight average molecular weight is too small, the impact resistance of the antiglare laminate is lowered, which is not preferable. When the weight average molecular weight is too high, an excessive heat source may be necessary when laminating the layers containing the polycarbonate resin (al), which is not preferable. Further, since a high temperature is required in some molding methods, the polycarbonate resin (al) is exposed to a high temperature, which may adversely affect the thermal stability thereof. The weight average molecular weight of the polycarbonate resin (al) is preferably 15,000 to 75,000, more preferably 20,000 to 70,000. More preferably 25,000 to 65,000. The weight average molecular weight is a weight average molecular weight in terms of standard polystyrene, which is measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC).
The resin (a) may further contain additives and the like. As the additive, an additive generally used in resin sheets can be used. Examples of the additives include antioxidants, coloring inhibitors, antistatic agents, mold release agents, lubricants, dyes, pigments, plasticizers, flame retardants, resin modifiers, compatibilizers, reinforcing materials such as organic fillers and inorganic fillers. The method of mixing the additive and the resin is not particularly limited, and a method of mixing the total amount, a method of dry-blending the master batch, a method of dry-blending the total amount, and the like can be used. The amount of the additive is preferably 0 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0 to 7% by mass, and particularly preferably 0 to 5% by mass, based on the total mass of the base material layer.

(wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms.)
(wherein R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R4 represents a cyclohexyl group which may have a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.)
In the present specification, the "hydrocarbon group" may be any of linear, branched and cyclic groups, and may have a substituent.
In the (meth) acrylate structural unit (a) represented by the general formula (1), R2 is an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Specific examples thereof include methyl, ethyl, butyl, lauryl, stearyl, cyclohexyl and isobornyl groups.

R4 is a cyclohexyl group having a cyclohexyl group or a C1-4 hydrocarbon group. Among the above aliphatic vinyl structural units (b), an aliphatic vinyl structural unit in which R3 is a hydrogen atom and R4 is a cyclohexyl group is more preferable.

When the proportion of the (meth) acrylate structural unit (a) is 65 mol% or more based on the total structural units in the resin (B1), a resin layer having excellent adhesion to the base material layer and excellent surface hardness can be obtained. When the amount is 80 mol% or less, the resin sheet is less likely to warp due to water absorption.
The content of the aliphatic vinyl structural unit (B) represented by the general formula (2) is preferably 20 to 35 mol%, more preferably 20 to 30 mol%, based on the total structural units in the high-hardness resin (B1).

Examples thereof include hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane, ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and methyl isobutyrate, ketone solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, and alcohol solvents such as methanol and isopropanol.

The method of hydrogenation is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. For example, the reaction can be carried out in a batch or continuous flow process at a hydrogen pressure of 3 to 30MPa and a reaction temperature of 60 to 250 ℃. When the temperature is 60 ℃ or higher, the reaction time is not too long, and when the temperature is 250 ℃ or lower, the occurrence of molecular chain cleavage and hydrogenation of ester sites is reduced.

That is, the proportion of the unhydrogenated portion of the aromatic double bond in the structural unit derived from the aromatic vinyl monomer is preferably 30% or less. When the content exceeds 30%, the transparency of the high-hardness resin (B1) may be lowered.

The hard coat layer can be formed by, for example, applying a hard coat liquid to a layer (for example, a high-hardness resin layer) located under the hard coat layer and then photo-polymerizing the applied liquid.
The method for applying the hard coat paint of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. Examples thereof include spin coating, dipping, spraying, slide coating, bar coating, roll coating, gravure coating, meniscus coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, brush coating, and the like.
As a lamp used for light irradiation in photopolymerization, a lamp having a light emission distribution at a light wavelength of 420nm or less can be used, and examples thereof include a low-pressure mercury lamp, a medium-pressure mercury lamp, a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, a chemical lamp, a black light lamp, a microwave-excited mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, and the like. Among these, a high-pressure mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp is preferable because it can efficiently emit light in the initiator active wavelength region without emitting light of a short wavelength which causes the viscoelastic property of the resulting polymer to be lowered by crosslinking or light of a long wavelength which causes the reaction composition to be evaporated by heating in a large amount.
The irradiation intensity of the lamp is a factor that influences the degree of polymerization of the obtained polymer, and can be appropriately controlled according to various properties of the target product. When a general cleavage type initiator having an acetophenone group is blended, the illuminance is preferably 0.1 to 300mW/cm2The range of (1). Particularly preferably, a metal halide lamp is used, and the illuminance is set to 10-40 mW/cm2。
Photopolymerization may be hindered by oxygen in the air or oxygen dissolved in the reactive composition. Therefore, it is desirable that the light irradiation be carried out by a method capable of eliminating reaction inhibition by oxygen. One of such methods is: a method in which the reactive composition is coated with a film made of polyethylene terephthalate or TEFLON, thereby blocking contact with oxygen, and the reactive composition is irradiated with light through the film. In addition, the composition may be irradiated with light through a translucent window in an inert atmosphere in which oxygen is replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas.
When light irradiation is performed in an inert atmosphere, a certain amount of inert gas is continuously introduced in order to keep the atmospheric oxygen concentration at a low level. By introducing the inert gas, a gas flow is generated on the surface of the reactive composition, and the monomer is vaporized. In order to suppress the level of evaporation of the monomer, the flow velocity of the inert gas is preferably 1m/sec or less, more preferably 0.1m/sec or less, relative to the relative velocity of the laminate coated with the hard coating liquid moving under the inert gas atmosphere. By setting the gas flow velocity in the above range, the evaporation of the monomer due to the gas flow can be substantially suppressed.
In order to improve the adhesion of the hard coat layer, the coated surface may be pretreated. Examples of the treatment include known methods such as a sand blast method, a solvent treatment method, a corona discharge treatment method, a chromic acid treatment method, a flame treatment method, a hot air treatment method, an ozone treatment method, an ultraviolet treatment method, and a primer treatment method using a resin composition.
The irradiation power of UV light (254nm) for the hard coat layer was 20mW/cm2When the metal halide lamp of (3) is irradiated with ultraviolet light, the pencil hardness is preferably 2H or more.
The film thickness of the hard coat layer is preferably 1 μm to 40 μm, more preferably 2 μm to 10 μm. By setting the film thickness to 1 μm or more, sufficient hardness can be obtained. Further, by setting the film thickness to 40 μm or less, the occurrence of cracks during bending can be suppressed. The film thickness of the hard coat layer can be measured by observing the cross section with a microscope or the like and actually measuring the interface to the surface of the coating film.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the hard coat layer having the uneven shape may have at least 1 characteristic of antireflection performance, antifouling performance, antistatic performance, and weather resistance. The method for applying the treatment such as the antireflection treatment, the antifouling treatment, the antistatic treatment, and the weather resistance treatment to the hard coat layer is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. Examples thereof include a method of applying a reflection reducing coating material, a method of depositing a dielectric thin film, and a method of applying an antistatic coating material.
As a method for forming the irregularities on the hard coat layer, for example, molding using a mold can be cited. The molding using a mold can be produced by a method of forming a mold having a shape complementary to the uneven surface and curing the transparent base material coated with the hard coating agent with ultraviolet rays while the mold is in close contact with the transparent base material.
As a method for evaluating the blurring of characters, transmission image clarity (transmission clarity) according to JIS K7374 can be cited. The width of the optical comb is 0.125mm, 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm, and the variation of the value is large when the width of the optical comb is narrow, and the variation of the value is small when the width of the optical comb is wide, so that the width of the optical comb is preferably 2.0 mm.
The larger the value of the transmission resolution, the more suppressed the blurring of characters is, and the smaller the value, the more serious the blurring of characters is. In the present invention, the transmission clarity can be measured by the method described in the examples below.
As a method for evaluating reflection of an image, a reflected image clarity (reflection clarity) measured at a light incident angle of 45 ° in accordance with JIS K7374 can be cited. The width of the optical comb is 0.125mm, 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm, and the variation of the value is large when the width of the optical comb is narrow, and the variation of the value is small when the width of the optical comb is wide, so that the width of the optical comb is preferably 2.0 mm.
The larger the value of the reflection resolution measured at a light incidence angle of 45 °, the more likely reflection of the image occurs, and the smaller the value, the less likely reflection of the image occurs. In the present invention, the reflection resolution can be measured by the method described in the following examples.
In the present invention, in order to achieve both of character blurring and image reflection performance, when the transmission resolution when light is transmitted is T1 measured with an optical comb having a width of 2.0mm and the reflection resolution when light is reflected at a light incident angle of 45 ° measured with an optical comb having a width of 2.0mm is T2, T1/T2 is preferably 2.0 or more, more preferably 3.0 or more, and particularly preferably 3.0 to 4.0. The reflection sharpness can be measured when the back reflection is suppressed by attaching a black tape to the back surface of the uneven surface.
The transmission definition T1 when light is transmitted as measured using a 2.0mm wide optical comb preferably satisfies 30% ≦ T1 ≦ 50%, more preferably satisfies 40% ≦ T1 ≦ 50%, and the reflection definition T2 as measured using a 2.0mm wide optical comb at a light incidence angle of 45 ° preferably satisfies 10% ≦ T2 ≦ 20%, more preferably satisfies 10% ≦ T2 ≦ 15%.
In the present invention, the hard coat layer having a concavo-convex shape preferably does not contain inorganic particles or organic particles. The concave-convex shape in the present invention is provided by transfer. As described above, the hard coat layer does not contain inorganic particles or organic particles, whereby scratch resistance can be improved. In the present invention, the hard coat layer may have a second hard coat layer on a side opposite to the hard coat layer having the concavities and convexities. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second hard coat layer has at least 1 characteristic selected from the group consisting of antireflection performance, antifouling performance, antistatic performance and weather resistance.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides the method for producing an antiglare laminate, including the step of transferring the uneven shape to the hard coat layer by pressure-bonding a patterned PET film to a photocurable resin composition on the layer containing the high-hardness resin (B). As the patterned PET film, for example, PTH, PTHA, or PTHZ of embler manufactured by UNITIKA, PF11, PF23 of low flash point AG film manufactured by cellophane, or the like can be used.
