【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ビデオカメラ、スチルカメラ、顕微鏡等に用いられる高屈折率の光学素子用重合性組成物及びこれを用いた光学素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
光学機器の小型軽量化、高性能化に伴い、微細で複雑な凹凸表面形状を有する光学素子や、超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状をしたレンズ、プリズム、鏡の必要性が高まっている。
このような光学素子を作るのに用いられる樹脂組成物としては、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂及びアクリル樹脂等の汎用プラスチック樹脂や、紫外線や電子線等の活性エネルギー線照射で硬化する活性エネルギー線硬化型樹脂がある。
【0003】
汎用プラスチック樹脂の光学素子成形方法は、溶融したプラスチックを鋳型に流し込み冷却するという射出成形法等が用いられている。しかしながら、この製造方法では、熱歪み等の影響により光学的に歪みのない均一な光学素子を得ることが難しく、また、冷却時に発生するソリで成形精度10nm以下という超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状をしたレンズを作ることが難しい。
これに対し、紫外線や電子線等の活性エネルギー線の照射による方法は、実質的に加熱手段を必要としないため、冷却しながらエネルギー線照射により硬化するという方法も可能であり、熱歪みの蓄積を避けられる。そのため、硬化物内部に熱歪みに起因する光学的な歪みは発生せず、また、冷却時のソリも無く超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状をしたレンズを作ることが可能である。
【0004】
紫外線や電子線等の活性エネルギー線照射による光学素子用樹脂組成物と光学素子については、特公平6−93043号公報にある、特定のウレタン変性ポリエステル(メタ)アクリレートオリゴマーと3官能(メタ)アクリレートと単官能(メタ)アクリレートとを含有する活性エネルギー線硬化型樹脂組成物をガラス等の基材上に紫外線等の活性エネルギー線で硬化させた硬化樹脂層を設けてなる光学素子が知られている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、これら樹脂組成物の硬化物の屈折率は、1.48〜1.57の範囲にあり、1.60以上の高屈折率にすることが難しいという課題があった。このように硬化物が高屈折率でない場合には、レンズ等の焦点距離を短くするために、レンズ肉厚を厚くしなければならず、軽いというプラスチック製品の特徴を生かせず、レンズによって占められる空間体積が大きくなるので、光学部品の軽量化や小型化が出来にくいという問題点がある。
【0006】
したがって、本発明は、屈折率が高く、超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状をした光学素子及びこれを得るための光学素子用重合性組成物を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記の問題点を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、特定のカルバゾール誘導体及び1分子中に2個以上の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物を含有する光学素子用重合性組成物を光学素子に応用したところ、屈折率が1.60以上、特に1.65以上と高く、超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状が得られるとともに、耐熱性、表面硬度、耐薬品性及び透明性にも優れた光学素子が得られることを見出し本発明に至った。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、(A)下記一般式(1)で示される化合物、及び
(B)1分子中に2個以上の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物
を含有することを特徴とする光学素子用重合性組成物を提供するものである。

本発明はまた、(B)1分子中に2個以上の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物が、ビスフェノールA骨格又はフルオレン骨格を有する化合物である光学素子用重合性組成物を硬化させてなり、屈折率が1.60以上であることを特徴とする光学素子を提供するものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の詳細な説明を行う。
一般式(1)で示される化合物((A)成分)、例えば9−アクリロイルカルバゾールは、その合成法やブチルリチウムを触媒とした重合法がすでに知られている(Makromol. Chem. 78, 47-57(1964)(Eng))。また、(A)成分に類似のカルバゾール誘導体が光導電性化合物として有用であることも知られている(特開平2−265904号公報)。しかしながら、(A)成分と1分子中に2個以上の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物(B)成分を用いて調製した光学素子が、高い屈折率を有し、超高精度の平面あるいは非球面の表面形状に成形が容易であるとともに、耐熱性、表面硬度、耐薬品性及び透明性にも優れたものであることは、全く知られていなかった。
【0013】
上記一般式(1)で示される化合物((A)成分)は、カルバゾール又はその誘導体にアクリル基又はメタクリル基を導入した化合物である。これら化合物は、ラジカル重合可能な組成物の主成分として使用される。R1、X1、X2及びX3は、上記した通りであるが、このうち、製造が容易で、光学素子に適用したときに高い屈折率、超高精度の表面形状が得られる等の観点から、いずれもが水素原子であることが好ましい。
【0014】
上記した化合物は、通常、室温で固体であるため、光学用素子を製造する場合、融点53℃以上に加熱して溶融して製造する方法や、重合性モノマーでこれを溶解し製造する方法がある。
【0015】
(B)成分は、1分子中に2個以上の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物であり、例えば1,6−ヘキサンジオールジ(メタ)アクリレート、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキシド付加物のジ(メタ)アクリレート、ビスフェノールAのプロピレンオキシド付加物のジ(メタ)アクリレート等の2官能重合性モノマー;例えばトリメチロールプロパントリ(メタ)アクリレート、ペンタエリスリトールトリ(メタ)アクリレート、ペンタエリスリトールテトラ(メタ)アクリレート、ジペンタエリスリトールヘキサ(メタ)アクリレート等の多官能重合性モノマー;次の一般式(2)
【0016】
【化3】
【0017】
(式中、R2及びR3は水素原子又はメチル基を表し、m及びnはそれぞれ独立に0〜5の整数を表す。)で表される2個の重合性ビニル基とフルオレン骨格とを有する化合物等の使用が可能である。このうち、ビスフェノールA骨格又はフルオレン骨格を有するものが好ましい。
【0018】
また、(B)成分として、プラスチックレンズ等の光学素子の耐衝撃性を向上させるために、構造単位の繰り返し数が2〜20程度のオリゴマー鎖を有する重合性オリゴマーを適量添加することもできる。具体例としては特に限定されないが、例えば、エポキシ基と(メタ)アクリル酸との反応より合成されるエポキシアクリレート;ジイソシアネート、ヒドロキシ(メタ)アクリレート、ポリオールより合成されるウレタンアクリレート;ポリエステル骨格にある水酸基にアクリル酸を縮合してアクリレート基を導入したポリエステルアクリレート等が使用可能である。
【0019】
(C)成分は、光、熱等によって容易に分解して、重合を開始しうる活性なラジカルを発生する物質であり、このうち、光重合開始剤が好ましい。例えばヒドロパーオキシド、過硫酸塩、ジアルキルパーオキシド、ジアシルパーオキシド等の過酸化物;アゾ化合物;酸化剤と還元剤とを組み合わせたレドックス開始剤;混合開始剤;金属アルキル、アルキルパーオキシ金属等の有機金属化合物等が挙げられ、これらを1種もしくは2種以上を混合して使用することができる。より具体的には、光重合開始剤としては、例えば4-ジメチルアミノ安息香酸、4-ジメチルアミノ安息香酸エステル、アルコキシアセトフェノン、ベンジルジメチルケタール、ベンゾフェノンおよびベンゾフェノン誘導体、ベンゾイル安息香酸アルキル、ビス(4-ジアルキルアミノフェニル)ケトン、ベンジルおよびベンジル誘導体、ベンゾインおよびベンゾイン誘導体、ベンゾインアルキルエーテル、2-ヒドロキシ-2-メチルプロピオフェノン、1-ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン、チオキサントンおよびチオキサントン誘導体、2,4,6 -トリメチルベンゾイルジフェニルフォスフィンオキシド等が挙げられる。
【0020】
(D)成分は、一般式(1)で表される化合物以外の化合物であって、1分子中に1個の重合性ビニル基を有する化合物である。具体的には、アミノ基や水酸基を含む化合物に(メタ)アクリル酸がエステル化反応で結合した構造の化合物等が挙げられ、例えば、フェノキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、ベンジル(メタ)アクリレート、及びN−ビニルピロリドン、N−ビニルピリジン、N−ビニルカプロラクタム、ビニルカルバゾール等の単官能重合性モノマー等の使用が可能である。
【0021】
さらに、本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物には、上記(A)、(B)、(C)及び(D)以外に、ヒドロキノン、メトキノン等の重合禁止剤、ヒンダードフェノール系等の酸化防止剤、ヒンダードアミン系等の黄変防止剤、燐酸エステル系等の脱色剤、シリコーンオイルやフッ素化合物等の消泡剤、離型剤、レベリング剤、着色染料等を添加しても構わない。フッ素化合物は、樹脂と型及び基材との界面にブリードし、型と樹脂の間に極薄い離型剤からなる離型層を形成する。この離型層は、樹脂との反応性がなく、樹脂の表面張力を著しく低下させる働きを持ち、高エネルギー表面を持つ金型に対する樹脂の密着性を低下させる。また、離型層の強度自体も低いため、重合した樹脂層は、離型層と樹脂層の間又は離型剤層内で剥離が発生し、容易に型から剥がすことができる。このような層は、WBL(弱い境界層)とよばれ、離型性を高めるのに極めて効果的である。
【0022】
本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物は、▲1▼(A)成分及び(B)成分を含有するものであるが、さらに具体的には、▲2▼(A)成分、(B)成分、(C)成分を含有する場合、▲3▼(A)成分、(B)成分、(D)成分を含有する場合、▲4▼(A)成分、(B)成分、(C)成分、(D)成分を含有する場合が好ましい。
【0023】
本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物の各成分の含有量は、(A)成分が10〜95 重量%、特に20〜90重量%が好ましく、(B)成分が5〜90重量%、特に10〜80重量%が好ましい。また、(C)成分を併用する場合は、(A)成分と(B)成分との合計量に対して0.3〜15重量%、特に0.5〜10重量%が好ましく、(D)成分を併用する場合は、(A)成分に対して5〜90重量%、特に10〜80重量%が好ましい。
【0024】
本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物は、(A)成分及び(B)成分、及び必要に応じて(C)成分、(D)成分、その他の成分を混合することにより調製することができる。
【0025】
本発明の光学素子は、かかる光学素子用重合性組成物をラジカル重合反応により硬化させてなるものであり、屈折率を1.60以上、さらに1.65以上とすることも可能であり、屈折率が非常に高い。このように、高い屈折率を有することにより、レンズが占める体積を小さくすることができ、光学部品の小型化、軽量化を図ることができる。
【0026】
本発明の光学素子の製造方法としては、例えばまず、所望する形状をもつガラス、セラミック、金属、プラスチック、鉱物結晶等からなる材質の金型上に本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物を所定量流し込み、適切な間隙を介して基材を重ねる。基材と金型からなる該間隙に泡や空隙の無いように該光学素子用重合性組成物を保持した後、活性エネルギー線を樹脂の硬化に必要な線量で照射して該樹脂組成物を硬化させた後、脱型するという方法が挙げられる。もちろん、基材上に本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物を滴下し、この上に金型を重ねる方法でもよい。また、型を用いずスピンコート等で基材上に本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物を塗布し、硬化させる方法をとってもよい。本発明で用いる基材としては、例えば平板状あるいは予め賦形型されたガラス、セラミック、金属、プラスチック、鉱物結晶等が挙げられ、このうちガラス、プラスチックが特に好ましい。これは、複合型光学素子を特にレンズとした場合に、基材をガラスレンズ又はプラスチックレンズとし、これに屈折作用の大部分を受け持たせれば、光学素子用重合性組成物を重合させて得られる樹脂層は、収差の補正にのみ使うことができ、環境変化に対して影響の少ない性能の安定した複合型レンズとすることができるからである。
このように、本発明の光学素子は、基材の表面に所望の形状に設けることができる。
本発明で用いる活性エネルギー線としては、例えばマイクロ波、遠赤外線、可視光線、紫外線、電子線、放射線(β線、γ線)等が挙げられ、なかでも紫外線が好ましい。
また、本発明の光学素子は、熱重合によって製造することもでき、特に眼鏡用レンズ等の製造に適している。
【0027】
該光学素子用重合性組成物を紫外線を用いて硬化させるときは、金型あるいは基材のいずれかをガラス、石英、ポリカーボネート、ポリメチルメタアクリレート、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリ4−メチル−1−ペンテン等の紫外線を透過する透明物質を使用する必要がある。また、シランカップリング剤、チタネートカップリング剤、硝酸等の酸化剤やアルカリにより基材表面を処理して基材と本発明の光学素子用重合性組成物との接着性を向上させる方法や、金型を離型剤で処理して脱型を容易にする方法をとってもよい。
さらに上記方法によって得られた光学素子の樹脂硬化物表面上に酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウム、酸化珪素、酸化アルミニウム、フッ化マグネシウム等の金属の酸化物又はフッ化物等を加熱あるいは無加熱条件で真空蒸着させ、反射防止膜を設けてもよい。
なお、紫外線を用いる場合、紫外線の光源としては、メタルハライドランプ、高圧水銀灯、ブラックライト等が使用される。
【0028】
このようにして得られた本発明の光学素子は、1.60以上の高い屈折率を有しており、特に屈折率が1.65以上のものも得ることも可能となり、光学素子として特に好適である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polymerizable composition for an optical element having a high refractive index used for a video camera, a still camera, a microscope and the like, and an optical element using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As optical devices become smaller and lighter and have higher performance, there is a growing need for optical elements with fine and complex irregular surface shapes, and lenses, prisms, and mirrors with ultra-high precision flat or aspheric surface shapes. Yes.
Resin compositions used to make such optical elements include general-purpose plastic resins such as polycarbonate resins, polystyrene resins and acrylic resins, and active energy ray curable types that are cured by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays and electron beams. There is resin.
[0003]
As an optical element molding method of general-purpose plastic resin, an injection molding method in which molten plastic is poured into a mold and cooled is used. However, with this manufacturing method, it is difficult to obtain a uniform optical element that is optically free from distortion due to the effects of thermal distortion, etc., and a flat or aspherical surface with a molding accuracy of 10 nm or less due to warpage generated during cooling. It is difficult to make a lens with the surface shape.
On the other hand, the method of irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays and electron beams does not substantially require a heating means, so that it can be cured by irradiation with energy rays while cooling, and thermal strain is accumulated. Can be avoided. Therefore, optical distortion due to thermal distortion does not occur inside the cured product, and it is possible to make a lens with a highly accurate planar or aspherical surface shape without warping during cooling.
[0004]
Regarding the resin composition for optical elements and the optical element by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays and electron beams, the specific urethane-modified polyester (meth) acrylate oligomer and trifunctional (meth) acrylate disclosed in JP-B-6-93043 are disclosed. An optical element comprising a cured resin layer obtained by curing an active energy ray-curable resin composition containing a monofunctional (meth) acrylate with a UV or other active energy ray on a substrate such as glass is known. Yes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the refractive index of the cured product of these resin compositions is in the range of 1.48 to 1.57, and there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a high refractive index of 1.60 or more. In this way, when the cured product is not a high refractive index, in order to shorten the focal length of the lens or the like, the lens thickness must be increased, and it is occupied by the lens without taking advantage of the characteristics of a plastic product that is light. Since the space volume becomes large, there is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the weight and size of the optical component.
[0006]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an optical element having a high refractive index and an ultrahigh precision planar or aspherical surface shape, and a polymerizable composition for an optical element for obtaining the optical element.

[0016]
[Chemical 3]
[0017]
(Wherein R 2 and R 3 represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and m and n each independently represents an integer of 0 to 5) and a polymerizable vinyl group and a fluorene skeleton represented by It is possible to use a compound having the same. Of these, those having a bisphenol A skeleton or a fluorene skeleton are preferred.
[0018]
Moreover, in order to improve the impact resistance of an optical element such as a plastic lens, an appropriate amount of a polymerizable oligomer having an oligomer chain having a structural unit repetition number of about 2 to 20 can be added as the component (B). Although it does not specifically limit as a specific example, For example, the epoxy acrylate synthesize | combined by reaction of an epoxy group and (meth) acrylic acid; Urethane acrylate synthesize | combined from diisocyanate, hydroxy (meth) acrylate, and polyol; The hydroxyl group in polyester frame | skeleton Polyester acrylate in which acrylic acid is condensed to introduce an acrylate group can be used.
[0019]
The component (C) is a substance that is easily decomposed by light, heat or the like to generate an active radical capable of initiating polymerization, and among these, a photopolymerization initiator is preferable. For example, peroxides such as hydroperoxides, persulfates, dialkyl peroxides, diacyl peroxides; azo compounds; redox initiators combining oxidants and reducing agents; mixed initiators; metal alkyls, alkyl peroxy metals, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. More specifically, examples of the photopolymerization initiator include 4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid, 4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid ester, alkoxyacetophenone, benzyldimethyl ketal, benzophenone and benzophenone derivatives, alkyl benzoylbenzoate, bis (4- Dialkylaminophenyl) ketone, benzyl and benzyl derivatives, benzoin and benzoin derivatives, benzoin alkyl ethers, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, thioxanthone and thioxanthone derivatives, 2,4,6-trimethyl Examples include benzoyldiphenylphosphine oxide.

Specific examples include compounds having a structure in which (meth) acrylic acid is bonded to a compound containing an amino group or a hydroxyl group by an esterification reaction, such as phenoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, benzyl (meth) acrylate, and N -Monofunctional polymerizable monomers such as vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyridine, N-vinylcaprolactam, and vinylcarbazole can be used.
[0021]
Furthermore, in the polymerizable composition for an optical element of the present invention, in addition to the above (A), (B), (C) and (D), polymerization inhibitors such as hydroquinone and methoquinone, oxidation of hindered phenols, etc. An inhibitor, a hindered amine-based yellowing inhibitor, a phosphate ester-based decoloring agent, a defoaming agent such as silicone oil or a fluorine compound, a release agent, a leveling agent, a coloring dye, or the like may be added. The fluorine compound bleeds at the interface between the resin and the mold and the substrate, and forms a release layer made of an extremely thin release agent between the mold and the resin. This release layer has no reactivity with the resin, has a function of significantly reducing the surface tension of the resin, and reduces the adhesion of the resin to a mold having a high energy surface. Further, since the strength of the release layer itself is low, the polymerized resin layer peels off between the release layer and the resin layer or in the release agent layer, and can be easily peeled off from the mold. Such a layer is called WBL (Weak Boundary Layer) and is extremely effective in improving the releasability.
