Description

  The present invention relates to an antireflection article for preventing reflection by closely arranging a large number of minute protrusions at intervals equal to or shorter than the shortest wavelength of an electromagnetic wave wavelength band for preventing reflection.

  In recent years, regarding an antireflection film, which is a film-shaped antireflection article, there has been proposed a method for preventing reflection by arranging a large number of microprotrusions closely on the surface of a transparent substrate (transparent film) (patent) References 1-3). This method utilizes the principle of a so-called moth-eye structure, and the refractive index for incident light is continuously changed in the thickness direction of the substrate, whereby a discontinuous interface of refractive index is obtained. Is eliminated to prevent reflection.

  In the antireflection article according to this moth-eye structure, the microprojections are closely arranged so that the interval d between adjacent microprojections is equal to or less than the shortest wavelength Λmin (d ≦ Λmin) of the wavelength band of the electromagnetic wave to prevent reflection. . Moreover, each microprotrusion is produced so that a cross-sectional area may become small gradually toward the front end side from a transparent base material so that it may be planted on a transparent base material.

  Various uses have been proposed for such antireflection articles. For example, it can be placed on the light exit surface of various image display devices to reduce external light reflection such as sunlight on the screen to improve image visibility, or to form the microprojections on a sheet or plate-like transparent substrate Furthermore, by constructing a touch panel using an electrode in which a transparent conductive film such as ITO (indium tin oxide) is formed on the microprojection group, light reflection between the touch panel electrode and various adjacent members is performed. It has been proposed to reduce the occurrence of interference fringes, ghost images, and the like.

  The microprotrusions provided on such an antireflection article are formed by pressurizing and curing a shaping mold formed by closely arranging corresponding microholes to an ultraviolet curable resin or the like. Patent Documents 4 and 5 propose a device for correcting a convex portion (a so-called defect) generated on the surface of such a molding die.

  Such a defect is recognized as a defect in the antireflection article, and it is desired to reduce such a defect as much as possible.

[First Embodiment]
[Anti-reflective article]
FIG. 1 is a diagram (conceptual perspective view) showing an antireflection article according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This antireflection article 1 is an antireflection film whose overall shape is formed by a film shape. In the image display apparatus according to this embodiment, the antireflection article 1 is held by being attached to the panel surface (front side) of the image display panel. The antireflection article 1 allows a screen for extraneous light such as sunlight and electric light. Visibility is reduced to improve visibility. Here, the image display panel according to this embodiment is a liquid crystal display panel, and after a linearly polarizing plate disposed on the emission surface of the liquid crystal display panel is laminated and integrated with the antireflection article 1 in advance, A liquid crystal display panel is formed by being arranged in the cell. Thereby, in this embodiment, the operation | work which concerns on arrangement | positioning of the reflection preventing article 1 can be simplified.

  The antireflection article is not limited to a flat film shape, but may be a flat sheet shape or a flat plate shape (referred to as a film, a sheet, or a plate in order of relatively small thickness). In addition, instead of a flat shape, a curved shape, a three-dimensional film shape, a sheet shape, or a plate shape can be used, and various lenses, prisms, and other three-dimensional shapes are appropriately used depending on the application. Can be adopted.

  Here, the antireflection article 1 is produced by closely arranging a large number of minute protrusions on the surface of the substrate 2 made of a transparent film. A plurality of closely arranged microprotrusions is collectively referred to as a microprotrusion group. Here, the base material 2 is, for example, a cellulose resin such as TAC (Triacetylcellulose), an acrylic resin such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), a polyester resin such as PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene), or the like. Polyolefin resins, vinyl resins such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and various transparent resin films such as PC (polycarbonate) can be applied. In the present embodiment, the antireflection article 1 is arranged on the surface of various image display panels such as a liquid crystal display panel, an electroluminescent display panel, and a plasma display panel of the image display device, thereby reflecting on the surfaces of these display panels. Reduces the reflected light to improve visibility. As described above, the shape of the antireflection article is not limited to the film shape, and various shapes can be adopted, so that the base material 2 can be used in addition to these materials, for example, according to the shape of the antireflection article. Various transparent inorganic materials such as glass such as soda glass, potash glass, lead glass, ceramics such as PLZT, quartz, and meteorite can be applied.

  The antireflection article 1 has an uncured resin layer 4 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as a receiving layer or a microprojection layer) 4 that forms a micro uneven receiving layer composed of a group of microprojections on a substrate 2. Then, the receiving layer 4 is subjected to a molding treatment and cured, whereby the fine protrusions are arranged in close contact with the surface of the substrate 2. In this embodiment, an acrylate-based ultraviolet curable resin, which is one of the molding resins used for the molding process, is applied to the receiving layer 4 to form the ultraviolet curable resin layer 4 on the substrate 2. . The antireflection article 1 is manufactured so that the refractive index gradually changes in the thickness direction due to the uneven shape by the microprotrusions, and reduces the reflection of incident light in a wide wavelength range by the principle of the moth-eye structure.

  In this way, the microprotrusions produced in the antireflection article 1 are closely arranged so that the distance d between adjacent microprotrusions is equal to or less than the shortest wavelength Λmin (d ≦ Λmin) of the wavelength band of the electromagnetic wave to prevent reflection. The In this embodiment, since the main purpose is to improve visibility by arranging the image display panel, the shortest wavelength is set to the shortest wavelength (380 nm) in the visible light region in consideration of individual differences and viewing conditions. The distance d is set to 100 to 300 nm in consideration of variation. The adjacent minute protrusions related to the distance d are so-called adjacent minute protrusions, which are in contact with the hem portions of the minute protrusions, which are the base portions on the base 2 side. In the anti-reflective article 1, the minute projections are closely arranged so that when a line segment is created so as to sequentially follow the valleys between the minute projections, a large number of polygonal regions surrounding each minute projection are connected in plan view. Thus, a mesh-like pattern is produced. The adjacent minute protrusions related to the distance d are protrusions that share a part of the line segments constituting the mesh pattern.

(Distance between protrusions)
The minute protrusions are defined in more detail as follows. In the antireflection by the moth-eye structure, the effective refractive index at the interface between the transparent substrate surface and the adjacent medium is continuously changed in the thickness direction to prevent reflection. It is necessary to satisfy the following conditions. With respect to the protrusion interval, which is one of these conditions, when the minute protrusions are regularly arranged at a constant period as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-70040 and Japanese Patent No. 4632589, the adjacent spaces are adjacent to each other. The interval d between the minute projections to be performed is the projection arrangement period P (d = P). Thus, when the longest wavelength in the visible light band is λmax and the shortest wavelength is λmin, the minimum necessary condition that can exhibit the antireflection effect at the longest wavelength in the visible light band is Λmin = λmax. P ≦ λmax, and the necessary and sufficient condition that can exhibit the antireflection effect for all wavelengths in the visible light band is Λmin = λmin, and therefore P ≦ λmin.

  The wavelengths λmax and λmin may have some width depending on observation conditions, light intensity (luminance), individual differences, and the like, but are typically λmax = 780 nm and λmin = 380 nm. A preferable condition that can more reliably exhibit an antireflection effect for all wavelengths in the visible light band is d ≦ 300 nm, and a more preferable condition is d ≦ 200 nm. Note that the lower limit value of the period d is usually d ≧ 50 nm, preferably d ≧ 100 nm, for reasons such as the expression of the antireflection effect and the securing of the isotropic (low angle dependency) of the reflectance. On the other hand, the height H of the protrusion is set to H ≧ 0.2 × λmax = 156 nm (assuming λmax = 780 nm) from the viewpoint of exhibiting a sufficient antireflection effect.

  However, when the minute protrusions are irregularly arranged as in this embodiment, the distance d between the adjacent minute protrusions varies. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, when viewed from the normal direction of the front or back surface of the substrate, when the microprojections are not regularly arranged at a constant period, the repetition period P of the protrusions In some cases, the distance d between adjacent protrusions cannot be defined, and even the concept of adjacent protrusions is suspicious. Therefore, in such a case, it is calculated as follows.

  (1) That is, first, an in-plane arrangement of projections (planar shape of projection arrangement) is detected using an atomic force microscope (AFM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM). FIG. 2 is an enlarged photograph actually obtained by an atomic force microscope.

  (2) Subsequently, the maximum point of the height of each protrusion (hereinafter simply referred to as the maximum point) is detected from the obtained in-plane arrangement. There are various methods for obtaining the maximum point, such as a method of sequentially comparing the planar view shape and the enlarged photograph of the corresponding cross-sectional shape to obtain the maximum point, and a method of obtaining the maximum point by image processing of the plan view enlarged photo. Can be applied. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the detection result of the maximum point by the processing of the image data relating to the enlarged photograph shown in FIG. 2, and the portions indicated by black dots in this figure are the maximum points of the respective protrusions. In this process, image data is processed in advance by a low-pass filter having a Gaussian characteristic of 4.5 × 4.5 pixels, thereby preventing erroneous detection of the maximum point due to noise. Further, a maximum point was obtained in units of 1 nm (= 1 pixel) by sequentially scanning a filter for detecting a maximum value of 8 pixels × 8 pixels.

  (3) Next, a Delaunay diagram with the detected maximum point as a generating point is created. Here, Delaunay diagram is obtained by dividing the Voronoi region adjacent to the Voronoi region when the Voronoi division is performed using the local maximum points as the generating points, and connecting the adjacent generating points with line segments. This is a net-like figure made up of triangular aggregates. Each triangle is called a Delaunay triangle, and a side of each triangle (a line segment connecting adjacent generating points) is called a Delaunay line. FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the Delaunay diagram (represented by white line segments) obtained from FIG. 3 is superimposed on the original image of FIG. The Delaunay diagram has a dual relationship with the Voronoi diagram. Voronoi division means that a plane is divided by a net-like figure made up of a closed polygon aggregate defined by perpendicular bisectors of line segments (Droney lines) connecting between adjacent generating points. A network figure obtained by Voronoi division is a Voronoi diagram, and each closed region is a Voronoi region.

  (4) Next, the frequency distribution of the line segment length of each Delaunay line, that is, the frequency distribution of the distance between adjacent maximum points (hereinafter referred to as the distance between adjacent protrusions) is obtained. FIG. 5 is a histogram of the frequency distribution created from the Delaunay diagram of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, when there is a groove or the like at the top of the protrusion, or when the top is divided into a plurality of peaks, from the obtained frequency distribution, A frequency distribution is created by removing data resulting from a fine structure having a concave portion at the top and a fine structure in which the top is split into a plurality of peaks, and selecting only the data of the projection body itself.

  Specifically, in a fine structure in which a concave portion exists at the top of the protrusion, or a fine structure related to a multi-modal micro protrusion in which the top is divided into a plurality of peaks, a single peak that does not have such a fine structure. The distance between adjacent local maximum points is clearly different from the numerical value range in the case of a sexual microprojection. Thus, by removing the corresponding data using this feature, only the data of the projection body itself is selected and the frequency distribution is detected. More specifically, for example, about 5 to 20 adjacent single-peaked microprojections are selected from an enlarged photograph of a microprojection (group) in plan view as shown in FIG. 2, and the distance between adjacent maximum points is selected. The value of is sampled and the value clearly deviates from the numerical range obtained by sampling (usually data whose value is ½ or less of the average distance between adjacent maximum points obtained by sampling) To detect the frequency distribution. In the example of FIG. 5, data having a distance between adjacent maximal points of 56 nm or less (the leftmost small mountain indicated by the arrow A) is excluded. FIG. 5 shows a frequency distribution before performing such exclusion processing. Incidentally, such exclusion processing may be executed by setting the above-described maximum inspection filter.

(5) The average value d _AVG and the standard deviation σ are obtained from the frequency distribution of the distance d between adjacent protrusions thus obtained. Here, when the frequency distribution obtained in this way is regarded as a normal distribution and the average value d _AVG and the standard deviation σ are obtained, the average value d _AVG = 158 nm and the standard deviation σ = 38 nm are obtained in the example of FIG. As a result, the maximum value of the distance d between adjacent protrusions is set to dmax = d _AVG + 2σ, and in this example, dmax = 234 nm.

The same method is applied to define the height of the protrusion. In this case, a relative height difference of each local maximum point position from a specific reference position is acquired from the local maximum point obtained by the above (2), and is histogrammed. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a histogram of the frequency distribution of the protrusion height H with the protrusion root position obtained in this way as a reference (height 0). The average value _HAVG of the protrusion height and the standard deviation σ are obtained from the frequency distribution based on the histogram. Here in the example of FIG. 6, the mean value _H AVG = 178 nm, the standard deviation sigma = 30 nm. Thus in this example, the height of the projections is an average value _H AVG = 178 nm. In the histogram of the projection height H shown in FIG. 6, in the case of a multi-peak microprojection, the plurality of data are mixed for one projection because of having a plurality of vertices. Therefore, in this case, the frequency distribution is obtained by adopting the vertex having the highest height from among the plurality of vertices belonging to the same microprotrusion as the protuberance.

  In addition, the reference position when measuring the height of the protrusion described above is based on the valley bottom (minimum point of height) between the adjacent minute protrusions as a reference of height 0. However, when the height of the valley bottom itself varies depending on the location (for example, when the height of the valley bottom has undulation with a period larger than the distance between adjacent projections of the microprojections), (1) First, the base material 2 The average value of the height of each valley bottom measured from the front surface or the back surface is calculated in an area sufficient for the average value to be collected. (2) Next, a surface having the height of the average value and parallel to the front surface or the back surface of the substrate 2 is considered as a reference surface. (3) Then, the height of each microprotrusion from the reference surface is calculated by setting the reference surface to a height of 0 again.

If the protrusions are irregularly arranged, when this way the maximum value of the adjacent protrusions distance obtained by dmax = d AVG ₊ 2σ, average H _AVG height of projections are arranged regularly It has been found necessary to satisfy the above conditions. Specifically, the condition of the distance between the microprotrusions that exhibits the antireflection effect is dmax ≦ Λmin. The minimum necessary condition that can exhibit the antireflection effect at the longest wavelength in the visible light band is Λmin = λmax, and therefore dmax ≦ λmax, and the antireflection effect can be achieved for all wavelengths in the visible light band. The necessary and sufficient condition is Λmin = λmin, and therefore dmax ≦ λmin. A preferable condition that can more reliably exhibit the antireflection effect for all wavelengths in the visible light band is dmax ≦ 300 nm, and a more preferable condition is dmax ≦ 200 nm. Also, dmax ≧ 50 nm is usually satisfied and dmax ≧ 100 nm is preferable because of the antireflection effect and ensuring the isotropic (low angle dependency) of the reflectance. The height of the protrusion is set to _HAVG ≧ 0.2 × λmax = 156 nm (assuming λmax = 780 nm) in order to exhibit a sufficient antireflection effect.

2 to 6, dmax = 234 nm ≦ λmax = 780 nm, and it can be seen that the antireflection effect can be sufficiently achieved by satisfying the condition of dmax ≦ λmax. In addition, since the shortest wavelength λmin in the visible light band is 380 nm, it can be seen that the sufficient condition dmax ≦ λmin for exhibiting the antireflection effect in all visible light wavelength bands is also satisfied. When the average protrusion the height _H AVG = 178 nm Also, the average projection height _{H AVG} ≧ 0.2 × λmax = _156nm becomes (as the longest wavelength .lambda.max = 780 nm in the visible light wavelength band), realizing a sufficient antireflection effect It can be seen that the conditions regarding the height of the protrusions to satisfy are also satisfied. Note since the standard deviation sigma = 30 _nm, since the relationship between the _{H AVG -σ = 148nm <0.2 ×} λmax = 156nm is satisfied, statistically, more than 50% of the total protrusions, 84% or less It can be seen that the condition of the height of the protrusion (178 nm or more) is satisfied. From the observation results by AFM and SEM, and the analysis result of the height distribution of the microprojections, the multi-peak microprojections tend to occur more frequently with the microprojections with a higher height than the microprojections with a relatively low height. It turned out to be.

[Production process of anti-reflective article]
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a manufacturing process of the antireflection article 1. In the manufacturing process 10, in the resin supply process, an uncured and liquid ultraviolet curable resin that forms a microprojection-shaped receiving layer (shaped resin layer) is applied to the base film 2 in the form of a belt-shaped film by the die 12. In addition, about application | coating of an ultraviolet curable resin, not only the case by the die | dye 12 but various methods are applicable. Subsequently, in the manufacturing process 10, the pressing roller 14 presses and presses the substrate 2 against the peripheral side surface of the roll plate 13 (molding mold) which is a mold for molding the antireflection article, thereby A liquid acrylate-based ultraviolet curable resin is brought into close contact with the material 2 in an uncured state, and the ultraviolet curable resin is sufficiently filled in the concave portions having fine irregularities formed on the peripheral side surface of the roll plate 13. In this state, in this manufacturing process, the ultraviolet curable resin is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, and thereby a microprojection group is produced on the surface of the substrate 2. In this manufacturing process, the substrate 2 is peeled off from the roll plate 13 through the peeling roller 15 together with the cured ultraviolet curable resin. In the production process 10, an anti-reflection article 1 is produced by producing an adhesive layer or the like on the substrate 2 as necessary, and then cutting it into a desired size. Accordingly, the antireflection article 1 is mass-produced efficiently by sequentially molding the fine shape produced on the peripheral side surface of the roll plate 13 which is a mold for molding on the long base material 2 made of a roll material. The

[Molding mold]
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a roll plate 13 that is a mold for shaping the antireflection article 1. FIG. 8A is a perspective view showing the entire configuration of the roll plate 13. FIG. 8B is an enlarged view illustrating the configuration of the roll plate 13 in detail in the portion b of FIG. FIGS. 8C and 8D are enlarged views corresponding to FIG. 8B for explaining another configuration of the roll plate 13. 8B to 8D exaggerate the thicknesses of the adhesion layer 13b and the shaping portion 13c for easy understanding.

  The roll plate 13 has a fine concavo-convex shape formed on the peripheral side surface of the base material, which is a cylindrical metal material, by repeating anodizing treatment and etching treatment, and the fine concavo-convex shape is formed on the substrate 2 as described above. It is shaped. For this reason, a columnar or cylindrical member in which high-purity aluminum is provided at least on the peripheral side surface is used as the base material.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8B, in one form of the roll plate 13, a high-purity aluminum pipe is applied to the base material 13a, and a fine surface is formed on the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a. The shaping part 13c which consists of uneven | corrugated shape is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, in another form of the roll plate 13, a hollow stainless steel pipe is applied to the base material 13a, and an application made of high-purity aluminum is directly applied to the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a. A mold part (molding layer) 13c is provided. In place of the stainless steel pipe, pipe material such as copper, aluminum, or resin may be applied. Moreover, the aluminum layer which concerns on this shaping part 13c is produced, for example by sputtering.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8D, another form of the roll plate 13 is a molding part (molding layer) in which fine irregularities are formed on the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a via the adhesion layer 13b. ) 13c is provided. As an example, a hollow aluminum pipe is applied to the base material 13a, silicon dioxide (SiO ₂ ) is applied to the adhesion layer 13b, and high-purity aluminum is applied to the shaping portion 13c. Here, the adhesion layer 13b has a layer thickness of about 100 nm, and the shaping portion 13c has a layer thickness of about 400 nm. In place of the aluminum pipe, pipe material such as copper, stainless steel, or resin may be applied. The adhesion layer 13b is not limited to silicon dioxide, but other materials such as silicon monoxide (SiO), a mixture of silicon monoxide and silicon dioxide, tantalum oxide (Ta ₂ O ₅ ), titanium oxide (TiO ₂ , Ti ₃ O _5), tin oxide _(SnO 2), aluminum oxide _{(Al 2 0} 3), chromium oxide _{(Cr 2 O} 3), barium titanate (BaTiO _3), indium oxide _{(In 2 O} 3), zinc oxide ( ZnO, ZnO ₂ ), metal oxides such as TiC, SiC, BC, WC, nitrides such as TiN, SiN, CrN, BN, AIN, CN, ZrN, and barium fluoride ( BaF _2), magnesium fluoride _(MgF 2), magnesium oxide (MgO), diamond-like carbon (DLC), child using glassy carbon or the like It can also be. Even when the adhesion layer 13b is provided in this manner, the aluminum layer related to the shaping portion 13c is produced by, for example, sputtering.

  In the roll plate 13, fine holes are densely formed on the peripheral side surface of the shaping portion (molding layer) 13 c by repeating the anodizing treatment and the etching treatment. The concavo-convex shape is produced by gradually increasing the diameter of the fine holes so as to have a larger diameter. As a result, the roll plate 13 is densely formed with fine holes whose diameter gradually decreases in the depth direction, and the antireflection article 1 has a diameter that gradually decreases as it approaches the top corresponding to the fine holes. A fine concavo-convex shape is produced by a large number of fine protrusions.

[Roll plate manufacturing process]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a manufacturing process of the roll plate 13. In this manufacturing process, the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a is made into a super mirror surface by an electrolytic composite polishing method in which electrolytic elution action and abrasion action by abrasive grains are combined (electropolishing). Then, silicon dioxide is applied to the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a to form the adhesion layer 13b. Subsequently, in this step, aluminum is vapor-deposited or sputtered on the peripheral side surface of the base material 13a via the adhesion layer 13b to produce a high-purity aluminum layer (molding portion 13c). Subsequently, in this step, the anodizing step A1,..., AN, etching step E1,.

  In this manufacturing process, in the anodic oxidation process A1,..., AN, a fine hole is formed on the peripheral side surface of the shaping portion 13c by an anodic oxidation method, and the manufactured fine hole is further dug. Here, in the anodic oxidation step, various methods applied to the anodic oxidation of aluminum can be widely applied, for example, when a carbon rod, a stainless steel plate, or the like is used for the negative electrode. Further, as the solution, various neutral and acid solutions can be used. More specifically, for example, a sulfuric acid aqueous solution, an oxalic acid aqueous solution, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution and the like can be used. In the manufacturing steps A1,..., AN, the fine holes are formed in shapes corresponding to the target depth and the shape of the fine protrusions, respectively, by managing the liquid temperature, the applied voltage, the time for anodization, and the like.

  In the subsequent etching process E1,..., EN, the mold is immersed in an etching solution, the hole diameter of the fine hole produced and dug in the anodizing process A1,. These fine holes are shaped so that the hole diameter becomes smaller and smoother. As the etching solution, various etching solutions that are applied to this type of treatment can be widely applied. More specifically, for example, a sulfuric acid aqueous solution, an oxalic acid aqueous solution, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution, or the like can be used. As a result, in this manufacturing process, the anodizing process and the etching process are alternately performed a plurality of times, so that fine holes for forming are formed on the peripheral side surface of the base material.

[Defect of roll plate]
By the way, the roll plate 13 produced in this way has various foreign substances adhering to the surface to form convex portions on the surface of the shaping portion, thereby causing defects due to the convex portions. Some of these foreign substances are attached in the process of sputtering. That is, the roll plate 13 has a needle-like protrusion (a so-called nodule) generated on the target when the molded part made of aluminum is formed by sputtering. May adhere to the surface. Thereby, as for the roll plate 13, the foreign material by the same material (aluminum) as a shaping | molding part adheres to the surface of a shaping | molding part, and the defect by a convex part generate | occur | produces.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining such a defect. When the foreign matter E resulting from the nodule adheres in this way, as shown in FIG. 10A, the portion excluding the foreign matter E (excluding the portion covered by the foreign matter E) ) And a minute hole is not formed in the portion covered by the foreign material E. In this case, since the foreign material E is made of the same material as the molding part, fine holes are also formed on the surface of the foreign material E not facing the surface of the molding die by anodizing treatment and etching treatment. The

  Such a defect due to the convex portion hinders the creation of minute protrusions by close arrangement in the shaping process, and is recognized as a defect depending on the size of the antireflection article. More specifically, in the defect due to the convex portion, it becomes difficult to sufficiently press the shaping resin layer against the roll plate around the convex portion, thereby causing a defect. Accordingly, it is desired to remove such a defect of the convex portion.

  However, as disclosed in the prior art, when the defect is simply removed by laser irradiation, a recess is formed at the site irradiated with the laser as shown in FIG. In such an indentation, even if the forming process is performed, the microprojections cannot be produced. Therefore, in the antireflection article, the antireflection function is locally impaired at the part corresponding to the indentation. If the size W is large (100 μm or more), it will be recognized as a defect.

  Even in the case where the size W is small, in such a recess, if the molding process is repeated, the surrounding molded part is peeled off, and as a result, the size gradually increases, finally as a defect Recognized. Note that this size is defined by the largest size in the width direction when the concave portion has a circular shape in a plan view but has a diameter, but has a deformed shape such as an elliptical shape. Therefore, for example, when the recess has an elliptical shape in plan view, the size W is the length of the long axis. The definition of the size W is the same in the flat portion described later.

  As a result, the defect size and the number of defects are temporarily reduced in the repair of defects by the conventional laser by laser irradiation, but eventually the size and the number of defects are gradually increased as the production progresses.

[Defect correction]
Therefore, in this embodiment, in the roll plate manufacturing process, the laser irradiation condition is changed according to the defect, and the foreign matter E is removed by irradiating the laser while monitoring the shape of the foreign matter E changed by the laser irradiation. To do. Thereby, in this embodiment, a recessed part does not generate | occur | produce in the adhesion location of the foreign material E, and the removal location of a foreign material is made into the flat part by a flat surface. In addition, when the size W of the flat portion is 100 μm or more, a fine hole is prepared for forming a fine protrusion by a forming process so that it is not recognized as a defect. As a result, in the roll plate, a flat portion having a size W of 100 μm is formed, but the lower limit value of the size W of the flat portion is the lower limit value of the size of the defect to be corrected. Although it corresponds, at least the antireflection function is locally impaired, so that it has a size larger than the microprojections and more than a plurality of microprojections.

  More specifically, in this embodiment, the beam diameter of the laser beam is changed by switching the mask depending on the size of the defect, and the beam diameter of the laser beam is reduced as the size of the defect is reduced. The beam diameter is, for example, 4% to 50% of the defect size W, and more preferably 10% to 25%.

  Further, by gradually changing the irradiation position and repeatedly performing laser irradiation, the thickness of the adhered foreign substance E is reduced by changing the irradiation time (number of irradiation pulses) and the amount of light of one laser according to the size of the defect. As the time goes, the irradiation time for one time is shortened and the amount of light is reduced. Specifically, in this embodiment, the laser is irradiated mainly by a YAG (wavelength 1064 nm, 532 nm, shortest pulse period 6 nsec) laser with 10 to 50 pulses and light quantity (350 μJ to 500 μJ) according to the pulse period. In addition, when a flat part can be produced sufficiently practically, only one of the irradiation time and the light amount may be controlled.

Note that ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, or the like can be used as the laser light, and is not particularly limited. Various lasers capable of removing this type of defect, such as a YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) laser, CO ² laser, and excimer laser, can be used as the light source. These lasers can be pulsed lasers or continuous lasers.

FIGS. 10C to 10F are diagrams for explaining the correction of such a defect, and sequentially show changes in the shape of the foreign matter E due to laser irradiation. In FIG. 10, changes in the shape of the foreign matter due to laser irradiation are schematically shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, for the foreign matter E caused by the nodule, the foreign matter E is gradually reduced so that the scissors are scraped off from the peripheral portion by sequentially irradiating the laser while changing the laser irradiation position while monitoring the shape of the foreign matter E. To do. The foreign matter E caused by such nodules is adhered to the shaping portion by making point contact with the shaping portion by the site P having an extremely small area. If the adhesion at the point P in contact with the point is cut off from the irradiation, the remaining part will fly away from the surface of the shaping part, and the defect due to the foreign matter E will be removed. Further, by removing the foreign matter E in this way, in the roll plate, a flat portion is formed which is the height of the surface of the shaping portion and the same height as the opening side end portion of the surrounding fine hole. The In this flat portion, although almost the entire surface is a flat surface produced by sputtering, in the place where the foreign matter E is in point contact, the trace of laser irradiation due to flapping can be seen. .

  Accordingly, in this embodiment, by removing the defect to form a flat portion, it is possible to prevent the defect from being recognized as a defect when the size of the flat portion is small, thereby reducing the defect. Further, since the portion formed by removing the defect is a flat portion, it is possible to effectively avoid the enlargement of the concave portion due to the shaping process, and it is possible to reduce the defects.

[Correction by molding process]
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the flat part correction process by the shaping process. That is, as described above, when the size of the flat part formed by removing the foreign matter is less than 100 μm, the corresponding part of the antireflection article produced by the flat part is not recognized as a defect. However, such a flat portion may have a size of 100 μm or more, and in this case, it will be recognized as a defect. Therefore, in this embodiment, for a flat portion having a size of 100 μm or more, a fine hole is produced by a shaping process, and a minute projection is formed at a corresponding part of an antireflection article produced by the shaping process by the fine hole. Thus, in the antireflection article, the occurrence of defects is prevented by preventing a flat portion of 100 μm or more from occurring.

  That is, in this correction process, the flat portion 21 (FIG. 11A) having a size W of 100 μm or more is targeted for correction, and the flat portion 21 is cured by the microdispenser 22 as shown in FIG. 11B. The sexual repair agent 23 is dropped, and thereby a receiving layer 23A made of a curable repair agent is produced at the site.

  Examples of the curable repair agent 23 include urethane acrylate, acrylate monomer, UV curable resin containing 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, liquid glass, thermosetting resin, water glass, acrylate resin (instant adhesive) Etc.) can be used as appropriate. Among these, an ultraviolet curable resin or liquid glass can be particularly preferably used as the curable repair agent 23.

  Subsequently, in this manufacturing process, as shown in FIG. 11 (C), curing of the repairing mold plate 24 with the uneven shape formed by the minute protrusions formed on the surface is proceeding slightly within a possible range. Bring it onto the semi-cured receiving layer 23A and press it, and in this state, irradiate ultraviolet rays to cure the curable repair agent 23 related to the receiving layer 23A. The shape is shaped (FIG. 11D).

  As the repairing plate 24 for repair, the surface of the receiving layer 23A formed on the roll plate 13 has a corresponding uneven shape capable of forming an uneven shape by close arrangement of fine holes corresponding to the close arrangement of minute protrusions. A resin film, a resin sheet, or a metal plate formed on the surface can be used. Furthermore, for example, the antireflective article 1 produced by the shaping process using the roll plate 13 itself, or the molding plate 24 for repair can be used as it is.

  Thereafter, in this step, the repairing mold plate 24 is peeled off from the roll plate 13 (FIG. 11E), thereby completing the correction of the concave portion by the molding process.

  Thus, it is possible to prevent the flat portion having a size of 100 μm or more from being recognized as a defect in the antireflection article 1 by forming a concave and convex shape by the close contact structure of the fine holes by the shaping process. Compared with this, it is possible to further reduce defects.

[Inspection and repair process]
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a series of processing procedures related to the defect correction by the convex portion. In the manufacturing process of the anti-reflective article, this inspection / repair process is executed after cleaning and drying the roll plate formed with the fine holes.

  In this inspection and repair process, in the defect detection process (SP2), defects are detected by setting a roll plate in the inspection and repair apparatus and observing the peripheral side surface with a microscope. Subsequently, in the inspection and repair process, as described above with reference to FIG. 10, the defect due to the foreign matter is removed by sequentially irradiating the laser while changing the laser irradiation position while monitoring the site of the defect to be corrected with a microscope. A defect portion due to the convex portion is defined as a flat portion (SP3).

  Here, when the defect is caused by the foreign matter from the surface by the laser irradiation and becomes a flat portion, this manufacturing process measures the size W of the flat portion (SP4). If the measured size W of the flat portion is 100 μm or more, a fine hole is prepared in the flat portion to be used for forming the minute protrusions by the correction process by the above-described forming process (SP6). On the other hand, when the size W of the flat portion is less than 100 μm, the flat portion is left untreated.

[Detailed structure of anti-reflective article by roll plate after correction process]
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of an antireflection article produced by a roll plate that has undergone such a correction process. As described above, by creating a concave-convex shape by close placement of fine holes in a flat portion having a size of 100 μm or more by a shaping process, the antireflection article 1 has a corresponding size W1 of 100 μm or more in a region. so that the micro-ambient height only recessed height modified trace 41 of the convex portion of the microprojection is prepared comprising shaping mold of (a height of from the substrate surface) is formed. It should be noted that the height of the correction mark 41 of the convex portion of the molding die by this molding process is deepened by the thickness of the receiving layer created by the correction process by the molding process from the base portion of the peripheral protrusion. It becomes high.

  Further, the size W2 is less than 100 μm, and the height is the height of the base portion of the surrounding microprojections. Will be formed.
