Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a polarizing laminated film and a polarizing plate,

The present invention relates to a polarizing laminated film and a method for producing a polarizing plate.

BACKGROUND ART A polarizing plate is widely used as a polarizing light supply element in a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. As such a polarizing plate, a polarizer layer made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin and a protective film such as triacetylcellulose laminated are conventionally used. Polarizer layers (polarizing films) are required to have high optical performance, and thinner and lighter in weight has been required in recent years due to developments in mobile devices such as notebook personal computers and mobile phones of liquid crystal display devices.

As an example of a production method of a polarizing plate, a polarizing film is produced by subjecting a film made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin to a dyeing treatment or a crosslinking treatment while stretching it alone or after stretching it, (See JPH11-49878-A, for example).

As another example of the method for producing a polarizing plate, a solution containing a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is applied to the surface of a base film to provide a resin layer, and then a laminated film comprising a base film and a resin layer is stretched, A method of forming a polarizing layer from a resin layer and obtaining a polarizing laminated film having a polarizing layer has been proposed (see JP 2000-33829-A, for example). A method in which a polarizing plate is directly used as a polarizing plate, a protective film is bonded to the polarizing plate, and a base film is then peeled off as a polarizing plate.

As another example of the method for producing a polarizing plate, a laminated film is produced by co-extruding a resin for a protective film and a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and the laminated film is stretched and then dyed, whereby a polarizing plate (See JP2009-25821-A, for example).

However, in a method of producing a polarizing film by stretching, dyeing and crosslinking a film made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin alone, since breakage or wrinkling easily occurs, it is difficult to handle a thin film of 50 탆 or less Therefore, it is difficult to realize a thin polarizing film.

In the method of applying the solution containing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin to the surface of the base film to provide the resin layer, the resin layer is liable to be shrunk by drying and shrinking of the solution containing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, The ends of the substrate film may be bent toward the resin layer. If the substrate film continuously provided with the resin layer continuously flows in this state, the ends of the substrate film may be folded in the drying furnace or at the outlet of the drying furnace. .

In the method of producing a laminated film by co-extruding a resin for a protective film and a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, since the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is usually melted together with a solvent and extruded, There is a case where the end portion is folded in.

[Method for producing a polarizing laminated film]

1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of a method for producing a polarizing laminated film according to the present invention. The polarizing laminated film produced in the present embodiment has a base film and a polarizer layer formed on one side of the base film. In the method for producing a polarizing laminated film of the present embodiment, a resin film bonding step (S10) of bonding a resin film made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin to one side of a base film to obtain a laminated film, And a dyeing step (S30) in which a resin film of the laminated film is dyed with a dichroic dye to form a polarizer layer are usually performed in this order.

In the present specification, a laminate in which a resin film made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (hereinafter also referred to as a "polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film") is bonded to one side of a base film is called a "laminated film" The polyvinyl alcohol resin film is referred to as a " polarizer layer ", and the laminate having a polarizer layer on one side of a base film is referred to as a " polarizing laminated film ". The laminate having a protective film on one side of the polarizer layer is referred to as " polarizer ".

By the above-described manufacturing method, a polarizing laminated film having a sufficient polarizing performance, for example, a polarizing layer with a thickness of 25 占 퐉 or less can be obtained on a base film. The thickness of the polarizer layer of the polarizing laminated film obtained by the above production method is preferably 25 占 퐉 or less, and more preferably 20 占 퐉 or less. The polarizing laminated film can be used as an intermediate product for transferring the polarizer layer to a protective film as described later, and when the base film has the function of a protective film, the polarizing laminated film can be used as a polarizing plate It can also be used.

[Polarizing plate production method]

2 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate according to the present invention. The polarizing plate produced in this embodiment includes a polarizer layer and a protective film formed on one side of the polarizer layer. A polarizing plate manufacturing method of this embodiment comprises a resin film bonding step (S10) of bonding a polyvinyl alcohol resin film to one side of a base film to obtain a laminated film, a stretching step (S20) of uniaxially stretching the laminated film, And a dyeing step (S30) of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film of the laminated film with a dichroic dye to form a polarizer layer are usually carried out in this order to obtain a polarizing laminated film. Thereafter, the polarizing laminated film (S40) of bonding a protective film to a side of the polarizer layer opposite to the side of the base film side, and a base film peeling step (S50) of peeling the base film from the polarizing laminated film. .

With the above-described manufacturing method, a polarizing plate having a sufficient polarizing performance, for example, a polarizing layer with a thickness of 25 占 퐉 or less can be obtained on the protective film. The thickness of the polarizer layer of the polarizing plate obtained by the above production method is preferably 25 占 퐉 or less, and more preferably 20 占 퐉 or less. This polarizing plate can be used, for example, by bonding it to another optical film or a liquid crystal cell through a pressure sensitive adhesive.

Hereinafter, each step of S10 to S50 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 will be described in detail. In addition, the respective steps of Figs. 1 and S10 to S30 are the same step.

≪ Resin film bonding step (S10) >

A polyvinyl alcohol resin film is bonded to one side of the base film. The method of joining the base film and the polyvinyl alcohol based resin film is not particularly limited as long as it is a method that can not be peeled even through the subsequent stretching step (S20) and the dyeing step (S30). For example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or an adhesive layer is formed on a bonding surface of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film and / or a base film, and both are bonded through a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or an adhesive layer.

(Polyvinyl alcohol based resin film)

The thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film used in the resin film bonding step is 50 占 퐉 or less. The polyvinyl alcohol based resin film forms a polarizer layer through a subsequent drawing step and a dyeing step. However, the polyvinyl alcohol based resin film in the resin film bonding step (S10), that is, the polyvinyl alcohol based resin film Of the present invention exceeds 50 탆, handling of the stretching process and dyeing process can be performed without bonding with the base film as in the present invention, so that the merit of the present invention is small. When the thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is more than 50 占 퐉, it may be difficult to form the polarizer layer with a thickness of 25 占 퐉 or less. The thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film (before stretching) is preferably 10 占 퐉 or more, and more preferably 15 占 퐉 or more. When the thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is less than 10 mu m, it is difficult to obtain the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film alone. The thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is more preferably from 15 탆 to 45 탆.

As the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin forming the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, saponified polyvinyl acetate-based resin can be used. As the polyvinyl acetate resin, a copolymer of vinyl acetate, which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate, with other monomers copolymerizable with vinyl acetate, and the like are exemplified. Examples of other monomers copolymerizable with vinyl acetate include unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonic acids, and acrylamides having an ammonium group.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is preferably a completely saponified product. The degree of saponification is preferably from 80 mol% to 100 mol%, more preferably from 90 mol% to 100 mol%, even more preferably from 94 mol% to 100 mol% . When the degree of saponification is less than 80 mol%, there is a problem that the water resistance and the moisture resistance after forming the polarizer layer are remarkably poor.

The saponification degree referred to herein is a value defined by the unit formula (mol%) in which the ratio of the acetic acid group contained in the polyvinyl acetate-based resin as the raw material of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin to the hydroxyl group by the saponification process is represented by the following formula. It can be obtained by a method prescribed in JIS K 6726 (1994).

Saponification degree (mol%) = (number of hydroxyl groups) / (number of hydroxyl groups + number of acetic acid groups) x 100

The higher the degree of saponification, the higher the ratio of hydroxyl groups, that is, the lower the proportion of acetic acid groups that inhibit crystallization.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based resin may be a modified polyvinyl alcohol partially modified. For example, those obtained by modifying a polyvinyl alcohol resin with an olefin such as ethylene or propylene, an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or crotonic acid, or an alkyl ester or acrylamide of an unsaturated carboxylic acid. The ratio of denaturation is preferably less than 30 mol%, more preferably less than 10%. When the modification is carried out in an amount exceeding 30 mol%, it becomes difficult to adsorb the dichroic dye, which causes a problem that the polarization performance is lowered.

The average degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 to 10,000, more preferably 1,500 to 8,000, and particularly preferably 2,000 to 5,000. The average degree of polymerization as used herein is also a value obtained by a method determined by JIS K 6726 (1994).

Examples of polyvinyl alcohol resins having such properties include PVA124 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%), PVA117 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%), PVA624 : 95.0 mol% to 96.0 mol%) and PVA 617 (saponification degree: 94.5 mol% to 95.5 mol%); (Saponification degree: 97.0 mol% to 98.8 mol%), AH-22 (saponification degree: 97.5 mol% to 98.5 mol%) and NH-18 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%), and N-300 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%); (Saponification degree: 99.0 mol% or more), JM-33 (saponification degree: 93.5 mol% to 95.5 mol%), JM-26 (saponification degree: 95.5 mol% or more) of Nippon Sakubi Povalu Co., JF-17 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%), JF-17L (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%), JP-45 (saponification degree: 86.5 mol% Mol%), and JF-20 (saponification degree: 98.0 mol% to 99.0 mol%). These can be suitably used in the formation of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film of the present invention.

By forming the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin as described above, a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is formed. The method of forming the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is not particularly limited. For example, a solvent casting method in which a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin solution is applied and dried on a support, or a melt extrusion method in which a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin containing water is melted and kneaded and extruded on a support by an extruder, And a gel film forming method in which an aqueous resin solution is discharged into a poor solvent (low-solubility solvent). Among these, a cast film method or a melt extrusion method is preferred because a more transparent film can be obtained.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film will be described. Fig. 3 shows a flow chart of the method for producing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, a resin layer forming step (S110) for forming a resin layer made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin on a support, a first drying step (S120) for drying the resin layer, A resin layer separating step (S130) for separating the resin layer to obtain the resin layer, and a second drying step (S140) for drying the resin layer at a temperature higher than the temperature in the first drying step are usually performed in this order.

Examples of the support include a release film, a stainless steel belt, and a chill roll. As the method of forming the resin layer on the support in the resin layer forming step (S110), the above-mentioned solvent casting method and melt extrusion method are exemplified. For example, a solvent casting method in which a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin solution obtained by dissolving a powder of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin in a positive solvent (a dissolvable solvent) is coated on one surface of the support and the solvent is evaporated and dried Do. By forming the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin layer in this way, it becomes possible to form a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin layer having a thickness of 10 탆 to 50 탆.

Examples of the method of coating the polyvinyl alcohol resin solution on a support include a roll coating method such as a wire bar coating method, a reverse coating method and a gravure coating method, a die coating method, a comma coater method, a lip coating method, a spin coating method, , A fountain coating method, a dipping method, and a spraying method can be suitably selected and employed.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based resin solution used in these methods can be obtained, for example, by dissolving a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin in water heated to 80 to 90 캜.

The solid content concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is preferably in the range of 6 wt% to 50 wt%. When the concentration of the solid content is less than 6 wt%, the viscosity becomes too low and the fluidity at the time of forming the resin layer becomes too high, making it difficult to obtain a uniform film. On the other hand, if the concentration of the solid content exceeds 50 wt%, the viscosity becomes too high and the fluidity at the time of forming the resin layer becomes low, so that the film formation becomes difficult.

To the polyvinyl alcohol resin solution, a plasticizer may be added. Among them, polyhydric alcohols are preferably used, and examples thereof include ethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, trimethylolpropane and the like. And a plurality of these may be combined. Particularly, ethylene glycol or glycerin is suitably used. If necessary, an antiblocking agent such as a surfactant or the like may also be used in combination.

After the resin layer forming step (S110), in the first drying step (S120), the resin layer formed on the support is dried to such an extent that the resin layer can be peeled from the support at a low temperature, usually at a drying temperature of 60 deg. The degree of peeling from the support means that the coating liquid becomes solid to some extent and can be peeled off as a film. If the moisture content is usually dried to 30 wt% or less, the entire film can be stably peeled off. When it is dried up to 20 wt% or less, it is preferable because it can be easily peeled off. Here, the water content refers to the water content determined by the dry weight method and can be obtained by the following method.

The PVA film after peeling is allowed to stand at room temperature (approximately 25 ° C and 55% RH) for 30 minutes or more, and then the film weight is measured.

After that, after drying for 60 minutes at 105 ° C, take out and leave for several minutes until the film temperature returns to room temperature.

• After leaving for several minutes, re-weigh the film.

The obtained value is substituted into the following expression.

Moisture content = (weight before drying - weight after drying) / weight before drying × 100 (wt / wt%)

As a specific method for drying the resin layer formed on the support to such an extent that the resin layer can be peeled off from the support, for example, in practical production, it is preferable to confirm the drying condition reaching the peelable state in advance in the preliminary experiment, For example, drying is preferably performed at a temperature range of 40 to 60 占 폚 for 1 to 30 minutes, and drying at 50 占 폚 for 3 to 20 minutes is more preferable.

In the first drying step (S120), by drying at a low temperature, the resin layer is not completely dried but dried to such an extent that the resin layer can be peeled from the support, so that drying and shrinkage in the resin layer hardly occurs, The curling of the end portion can be prevented.

Next, in the resin layer separation step (S130), the resin layer dried in the first drying step is peeled from the support to obtain a resin layer. Then, in the second drying step (S140), the resin layer peeled off from the support is dried. In the second drying step (S140), the resin layer is sufficiently dried. Therefore, it is dried at a high temperature as compared with the first drying step. The high temperature referred to herein is generally 150 占 폚 or lower, preferably 120 占 폚 or lower, more preferably 100 占 폚 or lower, preferably 60 占 폚 or higher, and more preferably 70 占 폚 or higher. There are various methods such as a method of blowing hot air, a method of bringing into contact with hot roll, a method of heating by IR heater, and the like, but all methods can be suitably used. The drying temperature referred to in the first drying step and the second drying step means the atmospheric temperature in the drying furnace in the case of a drying apparatus in which a drying furnace is installed such as a method of blowing hot air or an IR heater, In the case of a drying facility, it means the surface temperature of the hot roll. Through the above process, a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is produced.

The polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film produced by the method of the present embodiment is excellent in curling.

(Substrate film)

As the resin used for the base film, for example, a thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and stretchability is used, and a suitable resin can be selected according to the glass transition temperature Tg or the melting point Tm thereof. It is preferable to use a substrate film which can be stretched in a temperature range suitable for stretching the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film to be laminated thereon.

Specific examples of the thermoplastic resin include a polyolefin resin, a polyester resin, a cyclic polyolefin resin (norbornene resin), a (meth) acrylic resin, a cellulose ester resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyvinyl alcohol resin, Based resin, a polyether-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, a polyimide-based resin, and a mixture or copolymer thereof.

Examples of the polyolefin-based resin include polyethylene and polypropylene, and it is preferable that the polyolefin-based resin can be stably stretched at a high magnification. A propylene-ethylene copolymer obtained by copolymerizing propylene with ethylene may also be used. The copolymerization may be made with other kinds of monomers, and examples of monomers of other species copolymerizable with propylene include ethylene and? -Olefin. As the? -olefin, an? -olefin having 4 or more carbon atoms is preferably used, and more preferably an? -olefin having 4 to 10 carbon atoms. Specific examples of the? -Olefin having 4 to 10 carbon atoms include linear monoolefins such as 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene and 1-decene; Branched monoolefins such as 3-methyl-1-butene, 3-methyl-1-pentene and 4-methyl-1-pentene; Vinyl cyclohexane and the like. The copolymer of propylene and other monomer copolymerizable therewith may be a random copolymer or a block copolymer. The content of the other monomer-derived constituent units in the copolymer can be determined by measuring the infrared (IR) spectrum in accordance with the method described on page 616 of "Polymer Analysis Handbook" (published by Kenokuniya Shoten Publishing Co., 1995) .

Of these, propylene homopolymer, propylene-ethylene random copolymer, propylene-1-butene random copolymer, and propylene-ethylene-1-butene random copolymer are preferable as the propylene resin constituting the propylene resin film .

The stereoregularity of the propylene resin constituting the propylene-based resin film is preferably substantially isotactic or syndiotactic. A propylene resin film made of a propylene resin having substantially isotactic or syndiotactic stereoregularity has relatively good handleability and excellent mechanical strength under a high temperature environment.

The polyester-based resin is a polymer having an ester bond, and is a polycondensation product of a polyvalent carboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol. As the polycarboxylic acid, mainly divalent dicarboxylic acid is used, and examples thereof include isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, dimethylterephthalate, dimethyl naphthalenedicarboxylate and the like. The polyhydric alcohol to be used is mainly a dihydric diol, and examples thereof include propanediol, butanediol, neopentyl glycol, and cyclohexanedimethanol.

These blend resins and copolymers can also be suitably used.

As the cyclic polyolefin-based resin, a norbornene-based resin is preferably used. The cyclic polyolefin-based resin is a generic name of a resin polymerized as a polymerization unit of a cyclic olefin, and examples thereof include resins described in JPH01-240517-A, JPH03-14882-A, JPH03-122137-A and the like. Specific examples include ring-opened (co) polymers of cyclic olefins, addition polymers of cyclic olefins, copolymers of cyclic olefins and? -Olefins such as ethylene and propylene (typically, random copolymers) and unsaturated carboxylic acids and their Graft polymers modified with derivatives, and hydrides thereof. Specific examples of the cyclic olefin include norbornene monomers.

Specific examples thereof include: Topas (registered trademark) (manufactured by Ticona), Aton (registered trademark) [manufactured by JSR Corporation], ZEONOR (registered trademark) [manufactured by Nippon Zeon Corporation], Zeonex (Registered trademark) (manufactured by Nippon Zeon Co., Ltd.) and APEL (registered trademark) (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.).

As the (meth) acrylic resin, any suitable (meth) acrylic resin may be employed. (Meth) acrylic acid esters such as poly (methyl methacrylate), methyl methacrylate- (meth) acrylic acid copolymer, methyl methacrylate- (meth) acrylic acid ester copolymer, ) Acrylic acid copolymer, a (meth) acrylic acid methyl-styrene copolymer (MS resin and the like), a polymer having an alicyclic hydrocarbon group (e.g., a methacrylic acid-cyclohexyl methacrylate copolymer, Norbornyl copolymer, etc.] and the like.

Preferably, poly (meth) acrylate C1-6 alkyl such as poly (meth) acrylate is exemplified. As the (meth) acrylic resin, more preferable is a methyl methacrylate resin having methyl methacrylate as a main component (50% by weight to 100% by weight, preferably 70% by weight to 100% by weight).

The cellulose ester resin is an ester of cellulose and a fatty acid. Specific examples of the cellulose ester-based resin include cellulose triacetate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose tripropionate, and cellulose dipropionate.

Also, copolymers thereof and those obtained by modifying a part of hydroxyl groups with substituents of different species or the like can be mentioned. Of these, cellulose triacetate is particularly preferable. Many products of cellulose triacetate are commercially available and are advantageous in terms of availability and cost. Examples of commercially available products of cellulose triacetate include Fuji Tack (registered trademark) TD80 (manufactured by Fuji Film), Fuji Tack (registered trademark) TD80UF (manufactured by Fuji Film), Fuji Tack (registered trademark) TD80UZ (Manufactured by Konica Minolta Opt.), KC4UY (manufactured by Konica Minolta Opt.), And the like can be given.

The polycarbonate resin is an engineering plastic made of a polymer having a monomer unit bonded through a carbonate group, and is a resin having high impact resistance, heat resistance and flame retardancy. Also, since it has high transparency, it is suitably used for optical applications. For optical use, a resin called a modified polycarbonate in which a polymer skeleton is modified to lower the photoelastic coefficient, and a copolymerized polycarbonate having improved wavelength dependency are also commercially available and can be suitably used. Such a polycarbonate resin is widely available and is commercially available from, for example, Panlite (registered trademark) (trade name, manufactured by Dainippon Ink & Chemicals, Inc.), Yuferon (registered trademark), Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics, Dow Co., Ltd., and Caliber 占 (Dow Chemical Co., Ltd.).

In addition to the thermoplastic resin, any appropriate additives may be added to the base film. Examples of such an additive include an ultraviolet absorber, an antioxidant, a lubricant, a plasticizer, a release agent, a coloring inhibitor, a flame retardant, a nucleating agent, an antistatic agent, a pigment and a colorant. The content of the thermoplastic resin exemplified above in the base film is preferably 50% by weight to 100% by weight, more preferably 50% by weight to 99% by weight, still more preferably 60% by weight to 98% by weight, And preferably 70% by weight to 97% by weight. If the content of the thermoplastic resin in the base film is less than 50% by weight, high transparency and the like inherently possessed by the thermoplastic resin may not be sufficiently developed.

The thickness of the base film before stretching can be suitably determined, but is generally from 1 to 500 mu m, more preferably from 1 to 300 mu m, more preferably from 1 to 300 mu m, from the viewpoint of workability such as strength and handling properties, 5 to 200 mu m, particularly preferably 5 to 150 mu m.

The base film may be subjected to a corona treatment, a plasma treatment, a flame treatment, or the like on the surface of at least the side to which the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is bonded in order to improve the adhesion with the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film. Further, in order to improve the adhesion, a thin layer such as a primer layer may be formed on the side surface of the base film on which the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is formed.

(Primer layer)

A primer layer may be formed on the side surface to which the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film of the base film is bonded. The primer layer is not particularly limited as long as it can exert a strong adhesion to the base film and the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film to some extent. A thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, thermal stability, stretchability and the like is used. Specific examples include acrylic resins and polyvinyl alcohol resins, but are not limited thereto. Among them, a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin having good adhesion is preferably used.

Examples of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin used as the primer layer include a polyvinyl alcohol resin and derivatives thereof. Examples of the derivative of the polyvinyl alcohol resin include polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl acetal, and the like. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol resins may be mixed with unsaturated carboxylic acids such as olefins such as ethylene and propylene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and crotonic acid, Or an alkyl ester, acrylamide, or the like. Of the above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol-based resin materials, polyvinyl alcohol resins are preferably used.

A crosslinking agent may be added to the thermoplastic resin to increase the strength of the primer layer. As the crosslinking agent to be added to the thermoplastic resin, known ones such as an organic type and an inorganic type can be used. A more suitable one may be appropriately selected for the thermoplastic resin to be used. Molecular cross-linking agents such as methylol melamine resins and polyamide epoxy resins can be used in addition to low-molecular crosslinking agents such as epoxy crosslinking agents, isocyanate crosslinking agents, dialdehyde crosslinking agents and metal chelating crosslinking agents. When a polyvinyl alcohol resin is used as the thermoplastic resin, it is particularly preferable to use a polyamide epoxy resin, methylol melamine, dialdehyde, metal chelate crosslinking agent, or the like as the crosslinking agent.

The thickness of the primer layer is preferably 0.05 탆 to 1 탆, more preferably 0.1 탆 to 0.4 탆. If the thickness is smaller than 0.05 탆, adhesion between the base film and the polyvinyl alcohol film is deteriorated, and if the thickness is larger than 1 탆, the polarizing plate becomes thick, which is not preferable.

(Pressure-sensitive adhesive layer)

The pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is also referred to as a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and is usually composed of a composition obtained by using an acrylic resin, a styrene resin, a silicone resin or the like as a base polymer and adding thereto a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound or an aziridine compound . Further, fine particles may be blended in the pressure-sensitive adhesive to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exhibiting light scattering properties.

The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably from 1 m to 40 m, more preferably from 3 m to 25 m, in a range that does not impair workability and durability. When the thickness is from 3 mu m to 25 mu m, the film has good processability and is suitable even after suppressing the dimensional change of the polarizing film. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is less than 1 m, the pressure-sensitive adhesive property is deteriorated. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is more than 40 m, problems such as the pressure-

A method of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a base film or a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is not particularly limited, and a solution containing each component including the base polymer described above on the base film surface or the polyvinyl alcohol- The pressure sensitive adhesive layer may be formed on the surface of the base film or the polyvinyl alcohol based resin film by laminating the pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the surface of the base film or the polyvinyl alcohol based resin film . When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the base film or the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, adhesion treatment such as corona treatment or the like may be applied to the base film side, the polyvinyl alcohol base resin film side, or the pressure- .

(Adhesive layer)

As the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer, for example, an aqueous adhesive using a polyvinyl alcohol resin aqueous solution, an aqueous two-component urethane emulsion adhesive, or the like can be mentioned. Among them, a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin aqueous solution is suitably used. The polyvinyl alcohol resin used as the adhesive includes a vinyl alcohol homopolymer obtained by saponifying polyvinyl acetate which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate and a vinyl alcohol homopolymer obtained by saponifying a copolymer of vinyl acetate and another monomer copolymerizable therewith Based copolymers, and further modified polyvinyl alcohol polymers obtained by partially modifying the hydroxyl groups thereof. As the water-based adhesive, polyaldehyde, a water-soluble epoxy compound, a melamine compound, a zirconia compound, a zinc compound or the like may be added as an additive. When such a water-based adhesive is used, the adhesive layer obtained next is usually much thinner than 1 탆, and even if a cross section is observed with a normal optical microscope, the adhesive layer is practically not observed.

The method of bonding the film using the water-based adhesive is not particularly limited, but the adhesive may be uniformly applied or introduced onto the surface of the base film or the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, and the other film may be superimposed on the applied surface by a roll or the like , And a drying method. Usually, the adhesive is applied at a temperature of 15 ° C to 40 ° C after its preparation, and the bonding temperature is usually in the range of 15 ° C to 30 ° C.

When an aqueous adhesive is used, the film is bonded and then dried to remove water contained in the aqueous adhesive. The temperature of the drying furnace is preferably 30 ° C to 90 ° C. If it is less than 30 ° C, the adhesive surface tends to be easily peeled off. If the temperature is 90 DEG C or more, there is a fear that the optical performance of the polarizer or the like is deteriorated by heat. The drying time may be 10 to 1000 seconds.

After the drying, it may be cured at a room temperature or a slightly higher temperature, for example, at a temperature of about 20 to 45 캜 for about 12 to 600 hours. The temperature at the time of curing is generally set lower than the temperature employed at the time of drying.

As the non-aqueous adhesive, a photo-curable adhesive may be used. Examples of the photo-curable adhesive include a mixture of a photo-curable epoxy resin and a photo cationic polymerization initiator.

As a method of bonding the film with the photo-curable adhesive, conventionally known methods can be used. For example, a known method can be used. Examples of the method include a flexible method, a Meyer bar coat method, a gravure coat method, a comma coater method, a doctor blade method, a die coat method, a dip coating method, , A method of applying an adhesive to the adhesive surface of the film and polymerizing the two films. The "soft method" is a method in which an adhesive is applied to a surface of a film to be spread by distributing the two films in a substantially vertical direction, a substantially horizontal direction, or an inclined direction between them.

An adhesive is applied to the surface of the film, and the film is bonded by sandwiching it with a nip roll or the like. It is also possible to suitably use a method in which the layered product is pressed by a roll or the like and uniformly pressed and stretched. In this case, metal, rubber, or the like can be used as the material of the roll. It is also preferable to adopt a method in which the laminate is passed between a roll and a roll, followed by pressing and pressing. In this case, these rolls may be made of the same material or different materials. The thickness of the adhesive layer after bonding using the nip roll or the like before drying or curing is preferably 5 m or less and 0.01 m or more.

The adhesive surface of the film may be appropriately subjected to surface treatment such as plasma treatment, corona treatment, ultraviolet ray irradiation treatment, frame (flame) treatment, saponification treatment, etc., in order to improve the adhesiveness.

As the saponification treatment, there may be mentioned a method of immersing in an aqueous solution of an alkali such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

When a photo-curable resin is used as the adhesive, the photo-curable adhesive is cured by laminating the film and then irradiating with an active energy ray. A light source of an active energy ray is not particularly limited, but an active energy ray having a light emission distribution at a wavelength of 400 nm or less is preferable. Specifically, a low energy mercury lamp, medium pressure mercury lamp, high pressure mercury lamp, ultra high pressure mercury lamp, A wave excitation mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp and the like are preferably used.

The light irradiation intensity to the photo-curing adhesive is appropriately determined depending on the composition of the photo-curable adhesive and is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the irradiation intensity in the wavelength range effective for activating the polymerization initiator is 0.1 mW / cm2 to 6000 mW / desirable. When the irradiation intensity is not less than 0.1 mW / cm 2, the reaction time is not excessively long, and when the irradiation intensity is 6000 mW / cm 2 or less, the heat radiated from the light source and the heat generated upon curing of the photo- Is less likely to occur. The light irradiation time to the photo-curing adhesive is not particularly limited as long as it is applied in accordance with the photo-curable adhesive to be cured, but it is preferable that the cumulative light quantity as a product of the irradiation intensity and the irradiation time is 10 mJ / cm2 to 10000 mJ / . When the total amount of light to the photo-curing adhesive is 10 mJ / cm 2 or more, a sufficient amount of active species originating from the polymerization initiator is generated sufficiently to allow the curing reaction to proceed more surely. When the amount is 10,000 mJ / cm 2 or less, , And good productivity can be maintained. The thickness of the adhesive layer after irradiation with active energy rays is usually about 0.001 to 5 占 퐉, preferably 0.01 to 2 占 퐉, more preferably 0.01 to 1 占 퐉.

In the case of curing the photo-curable adhesive on the base film or the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film by irradiation of an active energy ray, the conditions such as transmittance, color, transparency and the like of the polarizing plate after passing through the entire process It is preferable to carry out curing.

≪ Stretching step (S20)

Preferably, uniaxial stretching is performed so that the stretching magnification is 5 times to 17 times or less. More preferably not more than 5 times but not more than 8 times. If the stretching magnification is 5 times or less, the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film is not sufficiently oriented, resulting in a problem that the degree of polarization of the polarizer layer is not sufficiently increased. On the other hand, when the stretching ratio exceeds 17 times, the laminated film tends to be broken at the time of stretching, so that there is a possibility that the workability and handling property in the subsequent step are lowered. The stretching process in the stretching process (S20) is not limited to stretching at one end but may be performed in multiple stages. In the case of multi-stage processing, it is preferable to perform the stretching processing such that the entire stages of the stretching processing are combined so as to obtain a stretching ratio of more than 5 times.

These dichroic substances may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The dyeing step is carried out, for example, by immersing the entire stretched film in an aqueous solution (dyeing solution) containing a dichroic dye. As the dyeing solution, a solution obtained by dissolving the dichroic dye in a solvent can be used. As the solvent of the dyeing solution, water is generally used, but an organic solvent having compatibility with water may be further added. The concentration of the dichroic dye is preferably 0.01 wt% to 10 wt%, more preferably 0.02 wt% to 7 wt%, and particularly preferably 0.025 wt% to 5 wt%.

As the crosslinking agent, conventionally known materials can be used. Boron compounds such as boric acid and borax, and glyoxal and glutaraldehyde. These may be one type, or two or more types may be used in combination.

As the crosslinking solution, a solution in which a crosslinking agent is dissolved in a solvent can be used. As the solvent, for example, water may be used, but an organic solvent which is compatible with water may also be contained. The concentration of the cross-linking agent in the cross-linking solution is not limited thereto, but is preferably in the range of 1 wt% to 20 wt%, and more preferably in the range of 6 wt% to 15 wt%.

Iodide may be added to the crosslinking solution. By adding iodide, the polarization characteristics in the plane of the resin layer can be made more uniform.

The water washing temperature is usually in the range of 3 캜 to 50 캜, preferably 4 캜 to 20 캜. The immersion time is usually from 2 to 300 seconds, preferably from 3 seconds to 240 seconds.

The cleaning process may be a combination of a cleaning process with a iodide solution and a water cleaning process, and a solution in which a liquid alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, or propanol is blended may be used.

<Drying step>

After the cleaning step, a drying step may be performed. As the drying step, any appropriate method (for example, natural drying, air blow drying, and heat drying) may be employed. For example, in the case of heat drying, the drying temperature is usually 20 ° C to 95 ° C, and the drying time is usually about 1 to 15 minutes.

Through the above process, the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film has a function as a polarizer layer, and a polarizing laminated film having a polarizer layer on one side of the base film is produced.

(Polarizer layer)

Specifically, the polarizer layer is formed by adsorbing and orienting a dichroic dye on a uniaxially stretched polyvinyl alcohol resin film. The draw ratio is preferably 5 times or more, more preferably 5 times or more and 17 times or less.
