In recent years, indoor televisions have become larger. Since such a large-sized television occupies a large volume in a room, it is preferable that it can be harmonized with the surrounding interior, and furthermore, one that can impart a sense of quality is preferable.
In addition, the interiors of automobiles are rich in luxury in luxury cars, and interiors rich in design are increasing in general-purpose cars. For this reason, it is preferable that the car navigation system installed in the automobile can give a high-class feeling while harmonizing with the surrounding interior.

Antireflection films such as Patent Documents 1 to 3 can reduce the reflectance of external light, but when the power of the image display device is turned off, people and the background are reflected on the surface of the antireflection film. Harmony with the surrounding interior becomes insufficient.

The transfer layer 100 has a resin layer 10, an anchor coat layer 20 and an adhesive layer 30, and has an uneven region on the resin layer side surface. has A1.

<Uneven area A1>
The resin sheet of the present invention has an uneven area A1 on one surface. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the uneven area A1 may be formed on a part of one surface of the resin sheet 1000, or may be formed on the entire one surface of the resin sheet 1000. . In addition, by forming the uneven area A1 on a part of one surface of the resin sheet 1000, the design of the resin sheet is improved due to the difference in texture between the uneven area A1 and other areas (for example, a smooth area A2 described later). It is preferable in that it can improve
Further, the other surface of the resin sheet may be partially or wholly formed with an uneven region, but from the viewpoint of improving image clarity, the other surface is preferably smooth. In the present specification, smooth means that Ra _0.8 (the arithmetic mean roughness of JIS B0601:1994 when the cutoff value λc is 0.8 mm) is 0.030 μm or less, preferably It is 0.020 μm or less, more preferably 0.010 μm or less.

The resin sheet of the present invention requires that the uneven region A1 satisfy the above formulas (1) and (2).

<<Formula (1)>>
Formula (1) defines that the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra _0.8 ) of JIS B0601:1994 when the cutoff value λc is 0.8 mm is 0.050 μm or more.

When Ra _0.8 is less than 0.050 μm and does not satisfy the formula (1), people and the background are reflected on the surface of the uneven area A1, and a member (television, car navigation, etc.) having a resin sheet on the surface , the harmony with the surrounding members (interior of the room, interior of the automobile) becomes insufficient. Ra _0.8 is preferably 0.060 μm or more, more preferably 0.070 μm or more, and even more preferably 0.080 μm or more.

If Ra _0.8 is too large, the thickness of the lens formed by the unevenness increases, causing glare (a phenomenon in which minute variations in brightness are visible in the image light), or sharpening the image of the display element through the resin sheet. tend to decline. On the other hand, when Ra _0.8 is too large, the surface of the resin sheet tends to feel rough.
Therefore, Ra _0.8 is preferably 0.300 μm or less, more preferably 0.200 μm or less, and even more preferably 0.130 μm or less.

<<Formula (2)>>
Formula (2) is the ratio of Ra _0.8 to the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra _0.08 ) of JIS B0601: 1994 when the cutoff value λc is 0.08 mm [Ra _0.8 /Ra _{0 .08} ] is 1.37 or less.

The cut-off value λc is an index indicating the degree to which irregularities with a long period are excluded from the roughness curve. Therefore, Ra _0.8 means the arithmetic mean roughness including irregularities with a short period (high-frequency irregularities) and irregularities with a long period (low-frequency irregularities), and Ra _0.08 means irregularities with a long period ( This means the arithmetic mean roughness that does not include low-frequency unevenness) and includes only short-period unevenness (high-frequency unevenness).
Therefore, in the formula (2), Ra _0.8 /Ra _0.08 being 1.37 or less means that the unevenness of the uneven area A1 has few low frequency components and is formed mostly of high frequency components. means. When the uneven area A1 satisfies the formula (2), the uneven area A1 can have a very fine appearance, can suppress rough feeling, and can impart a high-class feeling. FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of an example of a cross-sectional shape that satisfies Expression (2). On the other hand, FIGS. 3B and 3C are schematic diagrams of examples of cross-sectional shapes that do not satisfy the formula (2). The cross-sectional shape of FIG. 3B does not have high-frequency unevenness, and the cross-sectional shape of FIG. 3C is a shape in which high-frequency unevenness is superimposed on low-frequency unevenness. .
It should be noted that the low-frequency unevenness tends to cause glare due to the action of the lens. Therefore, by satisfying the formula (2) and reducing the ratio of the unevenness of the ultra-low frequency, it is preferable in terms of suppressing the glare.

Ra _0.8 /Ra _0.08 is preferably 1.30 or less, more preferably 1.26 or less. The lower limit of Ra _0.8 /Ra _0.08 is theoretically 1.00, but usually the lower limit is about 1.05.

In this specification, the surface shape (Ra, θa, Rz, Sm, etc.) and optical properties (internal haze, total haze, transmission image clarity, total light transmittance) are visually checked for abnormal points such as dust and scratches. Samples are cut out from places where there are no defects or abnormal points, and the average value of the measured values at arbitrary 20 places without defects or abnormal points is taken as the average value.

In this specification, the reference length is divided into 1500 points to obtain 1500 points of height data, and the average inclination angle θa is calculated based on the 1500 points of height data. The reference length (L) is equal to the cutoff value (λc).

<Method for manufacturing resin sheet>
The layer structure of the resin sheet includes, for example, a single-layer structure of a resin layer having an uneven region on one surface, and a multilayer structure in which another layer is laminated on the resin layer.
Such a resin sheet can be produced, for example, by the following methods (A) and (B).
(A) Imprinting using a plate.
(B) Transfer using a transfer sheet having a transfer layer on a release sheet.

The details of the composition of each layer constituting the resin sheet will be described in detail after the description of the manufacturing method.

<<Resin sheet manufacturing method (A)>>
The production method (A) above specifically includes the following steps (A1) and (A2).
(A1) A step of applying a coating liquid for forming a resin layer on a transparent substrate to form a coating film.
(A2) A step of pressing a plate against the coating film to shape the coating film.

Step (A1) is a step of applying a coating liquid for forming a resin layer onto a transparent substrate to form a coating film. The resin layer-forming coating liquid contains at least a resin component. The details of the composition of the resin layer-forming coating liquid will be described later.
As means for applying the resin layer-forming coating liquid, general-purpose applying means selected from gravure coating, comma coating, die coating, bar coating, and the like may be employed.
The resin layer-forming coating liquid may contain a solvent. One or more of general-purpose solvents can be used as the solvent. When the resin layer-forming coating liquid contains a solvent, step (A1) preferably includes a drying step.

When the resin component of the resin layer-forming coating liquid contains an ionizing radiation-curable compound, from the viewpoint of facilitating adjustment of the surface shape of the resin layer by the mold, it is preferable not to irradiate ionizing radiation before the start of step (A2). . That is, when the resin component contains an ionizing radiation-curable compound, it is preferable not to irradiate ionizing radiation in step (A1).

When another layer is provided between the transparent substrate of the resin sheet and the resin layer, a step of forming another layer on the transparent substrate may be performed before step (A1).

Step (A2) is a step of pressing a plate against the coating film to shape the coating film.
Here, by using a plate having a shape complementary to the surface shape of the resin sheet as the plate, a resin layer having a desired surface shape can be formed.

When the resin component contains an ionizing radiation-curable compound, ionizing radiation may be irradiated after the step (A2) (after the plate is separated from the coating surface), but the surface shape of the plate may be changed to the surface of the resin layer. From the viewpoint of accurate shaping, it is preferable to irradiate the ionizing radiation simultaneously with the step (A2).
In addition, when the ionizing radiation is irradiated simultaneously with the step (A2), it is preferable to irradiate from the transparent substrate side.

From the viewpoint of continuous productivity, the plate used in the step (A2) is preferably obtained by shaping the surface of a roll, more preferably by shaping the surface of a metal roll. Surface materials of the metal roll include copper, nickel, chromium, alumina and the like. These metals are preferably plated as required.

As the plate in step (A2), a plate having a shape different from the surface shape of the resin sheet is used, and after step (A2), the step of forming a second resin layer on the resin layer (step (A3)) is performed. you can go By forming the second resin layer on the resin layer, Rz and Rz/Ra can be easily reduced.

When a peelable material is used as the transparent substrate, the transparent substrate may be peeled off from the resin layer after step (A2) to form a single resin layer.

The plate used in step (A2) and step (B0-2) described later is obtained by engraving the surface of the cylinder into a desired shape by, for example, etching, sandblasting, cutting and laser processing, or a combination thereof. be able to. Alternatively, it can be obtained by preparing a plate having the same shape as that to be given to the plate by laser engraving, stereolithography, etc., and winding this reversed version around the surface of a cylinder.

Among the means for preparing the plate, sandblasting is preferable from the viewpoint that the ranges of formulas (1) and (2) can be easily controlled.
In sandblasting, for example, the material of the cylinder surface, the particle size of the abrasive, the shape of the abrasive, the material of the abrasive, the number of times the abrasive collides with the cylinder, the distance between the injection nozzle and the cylinder, the diameter of the injection nozzle, and the workpiece. The irregular shape can be adjusted by controlling the angle of the injection nozzle with respect to the object, the injection pressure, the injection frequency, and the like.

Among the control means described above, the abrasive shape, particle size and injection pressure are the most effective and simple to control the equations (1) and (2).
First, when the particle size of the abrasive is increased, there is a tendency that Ra _0.8 greatly increases and Ra _0.08 slightly increases. Therefore, if only equation (1) is taken into consideration, the particle size of the abrasive should be increased. harder to fill.
Next, when the injection pressure is increased, the particles tend to penetrate deeper and both Ra _0.8 and Ra _0.08 tend to increase.
Further, by making the shape of the abrasive spherical, it is possible to obtain a smooth irregular shape without a specific shape, so that it becomes easy to adjust the surface shape by adjusting the particle size of the abrasive and the injection pressure.
From the above, it is possible to increase Ra _0.08 without increasing Ra _0.8 by using a spherical abrasive and increasing the injection pressure while reducing the particle size of the abrasive. (1) and (2) can be easily satisfied.
Furthermore, increasing the number of collisions of the abrasive against the cylinder surface reduces the ratio of low-frequency unevenness, making it easier to satisfy the formula (2). By increasing the number of collisions of the abrasive against the cylinder surface, Rz and Rz/Ra can be easily set within the above ranges.

<<Resin sheet manufacturing method (B)>>
The production method (B) above specifically includes the following steps (B1) to (B3).
(B1) A step of obtaining a transfer sheet by forming a transfer layer containing a resin layer on a release sheet.
(B2) A step of obtaining a laminate in which the transfer layer side surface of the transfer sheet and the adherend are brought into close contact with each other.
(B3) a step of separating the release sheet of the transfer sheet from the laminate;

Step (B1) is a step of obtaining a transfer sheet by forming a transfer layer containing a resin layer on a release sheet.
Here, by using a release sheet having a shape complementary to the surface shape of the resin sheet as the release sheet, the surface shape of the transfer layer (≈the surface shape of the resin sheet) can be made into a desired shape.

Examples of the configuration of the transfer layer including the resin layer include the following configurations (Y1) to (Y6). In (Y1) to (Y6) below, "/" indicates the interface between layers, and the closer to the left, the closer to the release sheet.
(Y1) single layer of resin layer (Y2) resin layer/adhesive layer (Y3) resin layer/anchor coat layer/adhesive layer (Y4) antireflection layer/resin layer (Y5) antireflection layer/resin layer/adhesion Agent layer (Y6) antireflection layer/resin layer/anchor coat layer/adhesive layer

Each layer constituting the transfer layer can be formed by applying a coating liquid constituting each layer by a general-purpose coating means selected from gravure coating, comma coating, die coating, bar coating, etc., and drying and curing as necessary. .

The release sheet used in step (B1) can be produced, for example, by the following steps (B0-1) to (B0-2).
(B0-1) A step of applying a coating liquid for forming an uneven layer containing an ionizing radiation-curable resin composition onto a support to form a coating film containing the ionizing radiation-curable resin composition.
(B0-2) A step of pressing a plate against the coating film and simultaneously irradiating it with ionizing radiation to cure the shaped uneven layer.

Here, by using a plate having a shape complementary to the surface shape of the release sheet (≈a plate having the same shape as the surface shape of the transfer layer) as the plate in step (B0-2), the desired surface shape can be obtained. It is possible to obtain a release sheet provided with.

From the viewpoint of continuous productivity, the plate used in the step (B0-2) is preferably obtained by shaping the surface of a roll-like material, more preferably by shaping the surface of a metal roll. Surface materials of the metal roll include copper, nickel, chromium, alumina and the like. These metals are preferably plated as required.

As the plate in the step (B0-2), a plate having a shape different from the surface shape of the release sheet is used, and after the step (B0-2), the step of forming a release layer on the uneven layer (step ( B0-3)) may be performed. By forming the release layer on the uneven layer, Rz and Rz/Ra can be easily reduced.

Step (B2) is a step of obtaining a laminate in which the transfer layer side surface of the transfer sheet and the adherend are brought into close contact with each other. Step (B3) is a step of separating the release sheet of the transfer sheet from the laminate.

In steps (B2) and (B3), known transfer methods can be used.
