Abstract
Description
本発明に係る方法は、照射されるレーザ光の発振波長範囲におけるレーザ光の平均吸収率が2%以下であるフィルム(低吸収率フィルム)の層を含む偏光板を切断する方法であって、出力および/または移動速さを調整したレーザ光を照射することによって、上記フィルムに溝を形成する溝形成工程と、引裂角度および偏光板に与える張力を調整しながら、上記溝に沿って、上記溝形成工程後の上記偏光板を引き裂く引裂工程と、を含む構成である。
溝形成工程は、出力および/または移動速さを調整したレーザ光を照射することによって、偏光板を構成している高吸収率フィルムの層をレーザ光によって切断し、かつ、低吸収率フィルムの層に、レーザ光によって溝を形成する工程である。ここで、上記「フィルムに溝を形成する」とは、レーザ光を照射した部分のフィルムの厚さを、他の部分の厚さよりも薄くすること、すなわち、レーザ光を照射した部分をいわゆる肉薄の状態にすることを指している。より具体的には、後述する実施例の図3に示すような「U」字状または「V」字状の溝を低吸収率フィルムに形成することを指している。溝形成工程では、続く引裂工程において力を加えることによって低吸収率フィルムを引き裂くことが可能な程度にレーザ光を照射した部分が肉薄の状態になるような深さの溝を形成すればよいが、低吸収率フィルムの厚さの1/3以上の深さの溝を形成することが好ましい。低吸収率フィルムの厚さの1/3以上の深さの溝を形成することによって、後に続く引裂工程において、低吸収率フィルムを容易に引き裂くことができる。
引裂工程は、引裂角度および切断対象偏光板に与える張力を調整しながら、溝形成工程において形成した溝に沿って、溝形成工程後の低吸収率フィルムを引き裂く工程である。
本発明に係る偏光板は、本発明に係る方法によって切断されたことを特徴としている。本発明に係る方法については、上記「1.本発明に係る方法」の項で説明したので、ここでは省略する。
各種フィルムにおける透過率(%)を、従来公知のATR法によって測定した。上記「ATR法については、上記「1.本発明に係る方法」の項で説明したので、ここでは説明を省略する。
切断対象として、シクロオレフィンポリマー(COP)偏光板(SRD341量産原反)を用いた。COP偏光板は、上から、保護フィルムとしてのPETフィルム(58μm)、TACフィルム(80μm)、偏光子としてのPVAフィルム(25μm)、COPフィルム(70μm)、粘着剤層(25μm)、セパレートフィルムとしてのPETフィルム(38μm)が積層された構成となっている。
実施例1の溝形成工程では、レーザ光照射装置(CO2 レーザ、型番:Diamond E-400i、製造元:米国 Coherent社製)を用い、移動速さを300mm/秒、出力を25Wに調整したレーザ光(発振波長:9.4±0.2μm)をCOP偏光板に照射することによって、COP偏光板を構成しているTACフィルム層、PVAフィルム層、粘着剤層およびPETフィルム層を切断し、COPフィルム層に溝を形成した。その他のレーザ光照射条件は、表2に示したとおりである。尚、表2に示した「焦点」は、保護フィルム層の上面からレーザ光の焦点までの長さを表している。
次いで、図1に示したスリッター機5を用いて、偏光板3である溝形成工程後のCOP偏光板を引き裂いた。具体的には、溝形成工程後のCOP偏光板をスリッター機5に導入し、COP偏光板の引裂角度αが40°、COP偏光板に与える張力が0.6N/mmとなるように調整した巻取軸2aおよび2bによってCOP偏光板を巻き取りながら、COP偏光板を引き裂いた。
比較例1では、切断対象として実施例1で用いたCOP偏光板を用いた。そして、移動速さを300mm/秒、出力を45Wに調整したレーザ光(発振波長:9.4±0.2μm)をCOP偏光板に照射することによって、COP偏光板を完全に切断した以外は、実施例1と同じレーザ光照射条件とした。
図8に、COP偏光板に溝を形成することができる条件におけるレーザ光の出力と移動速さとの関係を示す。図8のグラフでは、レーザ光の移動速さに対するレーザ光の出力範囲(上限および下限)を示している。実施例1と同じCOP偏光板を用い、レーザ光の出力および移動速さ以外のレーザ光照射条件は、実施例1と同じ条件とした。
