Description

The present invention, anti-glare hard coat film, a polarizing plate, an image display equipment using the same.

  Along with recent technological advances, liquid crystal display devices (LCD), plasma displays (PDP), electroluminescence displays (ELD), etc. have been developed and put to practical use in addition to conventional cathode ray tube display devices (CRT). It has become. Among these, LCDs are changing from notebook personal computers and monitors to televisions due to technological innovations such as high viewing angles, high definition, high speed response, and color reproducibility. . In general, a liquid crystal panel in which polarizing plates are arranged on both sides of a liquid crystal cell is used for the LCD. The surface of the liquid crystal panel is generally subjected to a hard coat treatment to prevent the polarizing plate from being scratched. For the hard coat treatment, a hard coat film is often used. The hard coat film is subjected to an anti-glare treatment for preventing a decrease in contrast due to reflection of external light such as fluorescent light or sunlight on the liquid crystal panel surface or reflection of an image, and in particular, image display. As the screen size of the apparatus has increased, image display apparatuses equipped with an antiglare hard coat film have been increasing.

  In recent years, high-definition image display devices with small pixel sizes are increasing in order to improve image quality. When a conventional anti-glare hard coat film is arranged on such a high-definition image display device, the luminance variation existing in the pixels is more emphasized, causing a visible failure (glare failure), and the image quality is remarkably improved. It was getting worse. Conventionally, in order to produce a high-definition anti-glare laminate, there has been a method of eliminating glare by increasing the haze value of the anti-glare layer. Due to the strong scattering, there is a problem that the contrast is greatly reduced. Further, when the haze value is increased, there is a problem of so-called white blurring in the oblique direction, in which when viewed from an oblique direction, scattering of reflected light becomes too strong and the image appears blurred. In the anti-glare treatment, a method of producing an uneven shape on the film surface by adding inorganic or organic particles is performed. The improvement in anti-glare property, the improvement in contrast, and the improvement in white blur are generally considered to be in a reciprocal relationship, but various proposals have been made to achieve both of these characteristics. For example, studies have been made to make a three-dimensional three-dimensional structure agglomerate formed from the particles in the antiglare layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A fine pattern may appear on the coated film. Although effective means for improving some characteristics have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3), no effective means for solving all the above three problems has been found.

  Next, the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited by the following description.

  The antiglare hard coat film of the present invention has an antiglare hard coat layer on at least one surface of a transparent plastic film substrate.

  The transparent plastic film substrate is not particularly limited, but preferably has a visible light transmittance (preferably a light transmittance of 90% or more) and a transparency (preferably a haze value of 1% or less). . Examples of the material for forming the transparent plastic film substrate include polyester polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, cellulose polymers such as diacetyl cellulose and triacetyl cellulose, acrylic polymers such as polycarbonate polymers and polymethyl methacrylate. Etc. Examples of the material for forming the transparent plastic film substrate include styrene polymers such as polystyrene and acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefins having a cyclic or norbornene structure, and ethylene-propylene copolymers.

In this case, as the transparent plastic film substrate, triacetyl cellulose (TAC), polycarbonate, acrylic A film formed from a polymer, a polyolefin having a cyclic or norbornene structure, or the like is preferable. In the present invention, as described later, the transparent plastic film substrate may be a polarizer itself. With such a configuration, a protective layer made of TAC or the like is not required, and the structure of the polarizing plate can be simplified. Therefore, the number of manufacturing steps of the polarizing plate or the image display device can be reduced, and the production efficiency can be improved. Moreover, if it is such a structure, a polarizing plate can be made thinner. When the transparent plastic film substrate is a polarizer, the antiglare hard coat layer serves as a conventional protective layer. Moreover, if it is such a structure, an anti-glare hard-coat film will serve as the function as a cover plate with which the liquid crystal cell surface is mounted | worn.

The reactive diluent is preferably a trifunctional or higher acrylate or a trifunctional or higher methacrylate. This is because the hardness of the antiglare hard coat layer can be made more excellent. Examples of the component (A) include butanediol glycerin ether diacrylate, isocyanuric acid acrylate, isocyanuric acid methacrylate, and the like. As the component (A), one type may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

  The component (B) is as described above. In the component (B), examples of the inorganic oxide particles include fine particles such as silicon oxide (silica), titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, and zirconium oxide. Among these, fine particles of silicon oxide (silica), titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, and zirconium oxide are preferable. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, the component (B) has a weight average particle diameter of 1 nm to 200 nm from the viewpoints of preventing light scattering, preventing the hard coat layer from lowering transmittance, preventing coloring, and transparency. It is preferable that it is what is called a nanoparticle which is the range of these. The said weight average particle diameter can be measured by the method as described in the below-mentioned Example, for example. The weight average particle diameter is more preferably in the range of 1 nm to 100 nm. The inventors have found that when the component (B), which is a nanoparticle, is added to the component (A), the movement of the fine particles in the coating and drying process changes due to, for example, selection of a solvent described later. It was. That is, in a system to which nanoparticles were added, there was a tendency that surface irregularities due to the fine particles were hardly formed when a specific solvent was used, and that the irregularities were easily formed when another specific solvent was used. If the nanoparticles were not contained, the difference in surface irregularities depending on the type of solvent was not large. From these phenomena, when the nanoparticles are contained, repulsive force acts on the nanoparticles and the fine particles, so that the fine particles are easily dispersed relatively uniformly, and the movement of the fine particles in the coating and drying process is controlled. Therefore, it can be presumed that the number of added parts of the fine particles can be reduced, and the surface uneven shape of the present invention can be effectively produced. However, the present invention is not limited or limited by this inference.

  In the component (B), the inorganic oxide particles are bonded (surface modified) with an organic compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group. The polymerizable unsaturated group is reactively cured with the component (A), thereby improving the hardness of the hard coat layer. As the polymerizable unsaturated group, for example, acryloyl group, methacryloyl group, vinyl group, propenyl group, butadienyl group, styryl group, ethynyl group, cinnamoyl group, maleate group, and acrylamide group are preferable. The organic compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group is preferably a compound having a silanol group in the molecule or a compound that generates a silanol group by hydrolysis. It is also preferable that the organic compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group has a photosensitive group.

(B) the amount of the component relative to the component (A) 100 parts by weight, area by der 100-200 parts by weight. By making the blending amount of the component (B) 100 parts by weight or more, curling and folding of the antiglare hard coat film can be more effectively prevented, and by making it 200 parts by weight or less, scratch resistance is obtained. Property and pencil hardness can be made high. The blending amount of the component (B) is more preferably in the range of 100 to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

  By adjusting the blending amount of the component (B), for example, the refractive index of the antiglare hard coat layer can be adjusted. When the antireflection layer described later is not provided, the refractive index of the antiglare hard coat layer is preferably lowered in order to suppress the reflectance. In the case of providing an antireflection layer (low refractive index layer), it is possible to uniformly reduce reflection in the wavelength region of visible light by increasing the refractive index of the antiglare hard coat layer.

  The hard coat layer forming material preferably includes, for example, the following component (D), component (E) and component (F).

(D) Component: At least one of urethane acrylate and urethane methacrylate (E) Component: At least one of polyol acrylate and polyol methacrylate (F) Component: Polymer or copolymer formed from at least one of the following (F1) and (F2) Or mixed polymer (F1) of the above-mentioned polymer and copolymer: alkyl acrylate (F2) having an alkyl group having at least one group of hydroxyl group and acryloyl group: alkyl methacrylate having an alkyl group having at least one group of hydroxyl group and acryloyl group

  The blending ratio of the component (D) is not particularly limited. By using the component (D), the flexibility of the formed antiglare hard coat layer and the adhesion to the transparent plastic film substrate can be improved. From the viewpoint of these points and the hardness of the antiglare hard coat layer, the blending ratio of the component (D) is, for example, in the range of 15 to 55% by weight with respect to the entire resin component in the hard coat layer forming material. Preferably, it is the range of 25 to 45 weight%. The whole resin component is the total amount of the (D) component, the (E) component and the (F) component, or, when other resin components are used, the total amount of the three components and the total amount of the resin component The same applies hereinafter.

For example, the polyol acrylate is preferably a monomer component made of a polymer of pentaerythritol triacrylate and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate and a mixed component containing pentaerythritol triacrylate and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate.

  The blending ratio of the component (E) is not particularly limited. For example, the blending ratio of the component (E) is preferably in the range of 70 to 180% by weight, more preferably in the range of 100 to 150% by weight with respect to the component (D). When the blending ratio of the component (E) is 180% by weight or less with respect to the component (E), curing shrinkage of the formed antiglare hard coat layer can be effectively prevented, and as a result, the antiglare hard coat is obtained. Curling of the film can be prevented, and a decrease in flexibility can be prevented. Moreover, if the blending ratio of the component (E) is 70% by weight or more of the component (D), the hardness of the antiglare hard coat layer to be formed can be further improved, and the scratch resistance is improved. It becomes possible.

  In the component (F), the alkyl group of (F1) and (F2) is not particularly limited, and is, for example, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, which may be linear or branched. There may be. Examples of the component (F) include a polymer, a copolymer or a mixture of the polymer and the copolymer containing a repeating unit of the following general formula (1).

  The blending ratio of the component (F) is not particularly limited. For example, the blending ratio of the component (F) is preferably in the range of 25 to 110% by weight, more preferably in the range of 45 to 85% by weight with respect to the component (D). When the blending ratio of the component (F) is 110% by weight or less, the coating property of the antiglare hard coat layer forming material becomes excellent, and the blending ratio of the component (F) is 25% by weight or more. Thus, curing shrinkage of the formed antiglare hard coat layer can be prevented, and as a result, curling can be prevented in the antiglare hard coat film.

  The fine particles for forming the antiglare hard coat layer provide the antiglare property by making the surface of the formed antiglare hard coat layer uneven, and also the haze value of the antiglare hard coat layer. The main function is to control. The haze value of the antiglare hard coat layer can be designed by controlling the refractive index difference between the fine particles and the hard coat layer forming material.

These inorganic fine particles and organic fine particles may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  The weight average particle diameter of the fine particles is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 8 μm. When the weight average particle diameter of the fine particles is larger than the above range, image sharpness is deteriorated. When the fine particle diameter is smaller than the above range, sufficient antiglare property cannot be obtained, and the problem that glare is likely to increase is likely to occur. The weight average particle diameter of the fine particles is more preferably in the range of 2 to 6 μm, still more preferably in the range of 3 to 6 μm. The weight average particle diameter of the fine particles is preferably in the range of 30 to 80% of the thickness of the antiglare hard coat layer. The weight average particle diameter of the fine particles can be measured by, for example, a Coulter counting method. For example, by using a particle size distribution measuring device (trade name: Coulter Multisizer, manufactured by Beckman Coulter, Inc.) using a pore electrical resistance method, the electrolyte solution corresponding to the volume of the particulates when the particulates pass through the pores By measuring the electrical resistance, the number and volume of the fine particles are measured, and the weight average particle diameter is calculated.

Furthermore, the thickness of the antiglare hard coat layer is preferably in the range of 8 to 12 μm from the viewpoint of coating properties and pencil hardness, and the weight average particle diameter of the fine particles is adjusted to be within this thickness range. It is preferable to do. When the thickness is within the predetermined range, it is easy to realize the surface shape of the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention in which a large number of fine irregularities exist independently, and the antiglare hard coat layer has sufficient hardness. (For example, the pencil hardness is 4H or more). Further, when the thickness is larger than the predetermined range, there is a problem that the curl is large and the line running property at the time of coating is lowered, and further, there is a problem that the antiglare property is lowered. Further, when the thickness is smaller than the predetermined range, there is a problem that glare cannot be prevented and the sharpness is lowered.

  The antiglare hard coat film of the present invention has a haze value of 5 to 30%. The haze value is a haze value (cloudiness) according to JIS K7136 (2000 version). The haze value is preferably in the range of 5 to 20%, more preferably in the range of 5 to 10%. In order to set the haze value in the above range, the fine particles and the hard coat layer forming material are adjusted so that the refractive index difference between the fine particles and the hard coat layer forming material is in the range of 0.01 to 0.04. Is preferably selected. When the haze value is in the above range, a clear image can be obtained and the contrast in a dark place can be improved. If the haze value is too low, glare failure is likely to occur. However, if the antiglare hard coat film has a haze value in the above range, glare can be prevented.

  In the anti-glare hard coat film of the present invention, the maximum value of the power spectrum in the range of the convex width of 1 to 1000 μm is 0.05 in the uneven period obtained by Fourier analysis of the uneven shape of the anti-glare hard coat layer surface. The ratio b / a between the maximum value (a) of the power spectrum at the convex width of 1 μm to less than 15 μm and the maximum value (b) of the power spectrum at the convex width of 15 to 1000 μm is 2 .5 or less. The uneven shape on the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer in the present invention refers to an uneven profile on an arbitrary straight line at an arbitrary position on the surface of the antiglare hard coat film. The concavo-convex shape can be measured by a stylus type surface roughness measuring device or the like used in examples described later. A power spectrum is obtained by Fourier analysis of the uneven shape. The power spectrum is the data including a plurality of frequency components, and the included frequency components are shown together with their intensities. The convex width means a value (μm) that is ½ of the period (frequency) of the obtained power spectrum.

Strictly speaking, the surface uneven shape is not “wave”, and Fourier analysis is not general. However, to evaluate the display characteristic from the surface irregularities using a Fourier analysis, Ru very effective means der in characterization of the anti-glare hard coat film.

  The maximum value of the power spectrum is more preferably in the range of 0.07 to 0.12, and still more preferably in the range of 0.08 to 0.10. In order to prevent the reflection of external light and images on the surface of the antiglare hard coat film, it is necessary to have a certain degree of surface roughness. However, the maximum value of the power spectrum is 0.05 or more. Can be improved. Further, in order to prevent white blurring, the maximum value of the power spectrum needs to be 0.15 or less. Furthermore, the entire surface is not rough, but waviness or fine unevenness is present. It is preferable to have a concavo-convex shape of the surface that is sparse. In order to have such a shape, b / a needs to be 2.5 or less. b / a is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2.3, and more preferably in the range of 1 to 2.

  The antiglare hard coat film of the present invention has an uneven shape as defined by the maximum value of the power spectrum and the b / a, and has internal scattering defined by a haze value in the range. Therefore, it is possible to achieve both improvement of antiglare property and elimination of glare and white blur.

  The antiglare hard coat film of the present invention is prepared, for example, by preparing an antiglare hard coat layer forming material containing the fine particles, the hard coat layer forming material, and a solvent, and the antiglare hard coat layer forming material is transparent. It can be produced by coating on at least one surface of a plastic film substrate to form a coating film, and curing the coating film to form the antiglare hard coat layer.

  The solvent is not particularly limited, and various solvents can be used. In order to obtain the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, depending on the hard coat layer forming material composition, the kind of fine particles, the content, and the like. There are optimal solvent types and solvent ratios. Examples of the solvent include dibutyl ether, dimethoxymethane, dimethoxyethane, diethoxyethane, propylene oxide, 1,4-dioxane, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3,5-trioxane, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). ), Diethyl ketone, dipropyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, methylcyclohexanone, ethyl formate, propyl formate, n-pentyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, n-pentyl acetate , Acetylacetone, diacetone alcohol, methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 1-pentano 2-methyl-2-butanol, cyclohexanol, isobutyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), 2-octanone, 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 3-heptanone, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, Examples thereof include ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  For example, when 5 parts by weight of fine particles are added to the hard coat layer forming material used in Example 1 described later, the solid content concentration is 45% by weight, and the thickness of the antiglare hard coat layer is about 10 μm. The ratio of MIBK / MEK is at least in the range of 1.5 / 1 to 2.0 / 1, and an antiglare hard coat film having the characteristics of the present invention is obtained. In the case of butyl acetate / MEK, an antiglare hard coat film having the characteristics of the present invention is obtained in the range of at least 1.5 / 1 to 3.0 / 1. When the component (B) is nanoparticles as in the hard coat layer forming material used in Example 1 described later, for example, depending on the type and mixing ratio of the solvent, the dispersed state of the nanoparticles and the fine particles It is presumed that the unevenness tendency of the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer changes due to the change in the thickness. However, the present invention is not limited or limited by this inference. For example, in the case of the hard coat layer forming material described later, when the solvent is MEK, cyclopentanone, ethyl acetate, acetone or the like, irregularities are easily formed on the surface, and the solvent is MIBK, toluene, butyl acetate, 2 In the case of -propanol, ethanol, etc., it is difficult to form irregularities on the surface. Therefore, in order to obtain an antiglare hard coat film having the characteristics of the present invention, it is also preferable to control the surface shape according to the type of solvent and the ratio of the solvent.

  Various leveling agents can be added to the antiglare hard coat layer forming material. Examples of the leveling agent include a fluorine-based or silicone-based leveling agent, and a silicone-based leveling agent is preferable. Examples of the silicone leveling agent include reactive silicone, polydimethylsiloxane, polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane, and polymethylalkylsiloxane. Of these silicone leveling agents, the reactive silicone is particularly preferred. By adding the reactive silicone, slipperiness is imparted to the surface, and scratch resistance is maintained over a long period of time. In addition, when a reactive silicone having a hydroxyl group is used, an antireflection layer (low refractive index layer) containing a siloxane component is formed on the antiglare hard coat layer as described later. The adhesion between the antireflection layer and the antiglare hard coat layer is improved.

  The blending amount of the leveling agent is, for example, 5 parts by weight or less, preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the entire resin component.

  The material for forming the antiglare hard coat layer may include pigments, fillers, dispersants, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, surfactants, antifouling agents, and antioxidants as long as the performance is not impaired. An agent, thixotropic agent, etc. may be added. These additives may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  As the antiglare hard coat layer forming material, a conventionally known photopolymerization initiator can be used. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, acetophenone, benzophenone, xanthone, 3-methylacetophenone, 4-chlorobenzophenone, 4,4′-dimethoxybenzophenone, benzoinpropyl ether, benzyldimethyl Ketal, N, N, N ′, N′-tetramethyl-4,4′-diaminobenzophenone, 1- (4-isopropylphenyl) -2-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-1-one, etc. Thioxanthone compounds and the like can be used.

  Examples of the method for coating the antiglare hard coat layer forming material on the transparent plastic film substrate include, for example, a phanten coating method, a die coating method, a spin coating method, a spray coating method, a gravure coating method, a roll coating method, A coating method such as a bar coating method can be used.

  The antiglare hard coat layer forming material is applied to form a coating film on the transparent plastic film substrate, and the coating film is cured. Prior to the curing, the coating film is preferably dried. The drying may be, for example, natural drying, air drying by blowing air, heat drying, or a combination of these.

The means for curing the coating film of the antiglare hard coat layer forming material is not particularly limited, but thermal curing or ionizing radiation curing is preferable, and ionizing radiation curing is more preferable. Various active energies can be used as a means for ionizing radiation curing, but ultraviolet rays are preferred. As the energy ray source, for example, a high pressure mercury lamp, a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, a metal halide lamp, a nitrogen laser, an electron beam accelerator, a radioactive element, or the like is preferable. The irradiation amount of the energy ray source is preferably 50 to 5000 mJ / cm ² as an integrated exposure amount at an ultraviolet wavelength of 365 nm. When the irradiation amount is 50 mJ / cm ² or more, the curing becomes more sufficient, and the hardness of the formed antiglare hard coat layer becomes more sufficient. Moreover, if it is 5000 mJ / cm < ² > or less, coloring of the anti-glare hard-coat layer formed can be prevented.

  As described above, the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention can be produced by forming the antiglare hard coat layer on at least one surface of the transparent plastic film substrate. In addition, you may manufacture the anti-glare hard coat film of this invention with manufacturing methods other than the above-mentioned method. The hardness of the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention is affected by the thickness of the layer in pencil hardness, but has a hardness of 2H or more, for example.

  In the manufacturing method of the anti-glare hard coat film of this invention, the evaluation process of an anti-glare hard coat film is included, and the said evaluation process includes the evaluation method of a display characteristic. The display characteristic is evaluated by a method of evaluating using the maximum value of the power spectrum and the b / a value. In particular, as the display characteristics of the anti-glare hard coat film, when evaluating anti-glare, glare and white blur, whether the maximum value of the power spectrum is 0.05 or more and less than 0.15, And it is preferable to evaluate a display characteristic by determining whether said b / a is 2.5 or less. The evaluation step can be performed, for example, after the step of applying the antiglare hard coat layer forming material to form a coating film on the transparent plastic film substrate and curing the coating film. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any step can be used as long as the uneven shape of the antiglare hard coat layer surface can be measured.

  As an example of the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, one having an antiglare hard coat layer formed on one surface of a transparent plastic film substrate can be mentioned. The antiglare hard coat layer contains fine particles, whereby the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer has an uneven shape. In this example, the antiglare hard coat layer is formed on one side of the transparent plastic film substrate. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the antiglare hard coat is formed on both sides of the transparent plastic film substrate. It may be an antiglare hard coat film in which a layer is formed. In addition, the antiglare hard coat layer of this example is a single layer, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the antiglare hard coat layer has a multilayer structure in which two or more layers are laminated. May be.

  In the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, an antireflection layer (low refractive index layer) may be disposed on the antiglare hard coat layer. In the antiglare hard coat film of this example, an antiglare hard coat layer containing fine particles is formed on one side of a transparent plastic film substrate, and an antireflection layer is formed on the antiglare hard coat layer. It is the composition of being. When light strikes an object, it repeats the phenomenon of reflection at the interface, absorption inside, and scattering, and passes through the back of the object. For example, when an anti-glare hard coat film is attached to an image display device, light reflection at the interface between air and the anti-glare hard coat layer is one of the factors that lower the image visibility. The antireflection layer reduces the surface reflection. The antiglare hard coat layer and the antireflection layer may be formed on both surfaces of the transparent plastic film substrate. Further, the antiglare hard coat layer and the antireflection layer may each have a multilayer structure in which two or more layers are laminated.

  In the present invention, the antireflection layer is an optical thin film in which thickness and refractive index are strictly controlled, or a laminate of two or more optical thin films. The antireflection layer exhibits an antireflection function by canceling out the reversed phases of incident light and reflected light using the interference effect of light. The wavelength region of visible light that exhibits the antireflection function is, for example, 380 to 780 nm, and the wavelength region with particularly high visibility is in the range of 450 to 650 nm, and the reflectance at 550 nm, which is the central wavelength, is minimized. Thus, it is preferable to design the antireflection layer.

  In designing the antireflection layer based on the light interference effect, as a means for improving the interference effect, for example, there is a method of increasing the refractive index difference between the antireflection layer and the antiglare hard coat layer. In general, in a multilayer antireflection layer having a structure in which two to five optical thin layers (thin films whose thickness and refractive index are strictly controlled) are laminated, a plurality of components having different refractive indexes are formed in a predetermined thickness. Thus, the degree of freedom in optical design of the antireflection layer is increased, the antireflection effect can be further improved, and the spectral reflection characteristics can be made uniform (flat) in the visible light region. Since the optical thin film requires high thickness accuracy, each layer is generally formed by a dry method such as vacuum evaporation, sputtering, or CVD.

  The multilayer antireflection layer has a two-layer structure in which a low refractive index silicon oxide layer (refractive index: about 1.45) is laminated on a high refractive index titanium oxide layer (refractive index: about 1.8). More preferably, a four-layer structure in which a silicon oxide layer is laminated on a titanium oxide layer, a titanium oxide layer is laminated on the silicon oxide layer, and a silicon oxide layer is laminated on the titanium oxide layer. belongs to. By forming these two-layer antireflection layers or four-layer antireflection layers, it is possible to uniformly reduce reflection in the visible light wavelength region (for example, a range of 380 to 780 nm).

  Moreover, it is possible to exhibit the antireflection effect by forming a single-layer optical thin film (antireflection layer) on the antiglare hard coat layer. In general, for forming the single-layer antireflection layer, for example, a wet method such as phanten coating, die coating, spin coating, spray coating, gravure coating, roll coating, or bar coating is employed.

  The material for forming the single-layer antireflection layer is, for example, a resin material such as an ultraviolet curable acrylic resin, a hybrid material in which inorganic fine particles such as colloidal silica are dispersed in the resin, tetraethoxysilane, titanium tetraethoxide, or the like. Examples include sol-gel materials using metal alkoxides. Moreover, in the said forming material, what contains a fluorine group is preferable for imparting antifouling properties to the surface. In the forming material, for reasons such as scratch resistance, a forming material having a high inorganic component content is preferable, and the sol-gel material is more preferable. The sol-gel material can be used after partial condensation.

  The antireflection layer (low refractive index layer) may contain an inorganic sol in order to improve the film strength. The inorganic sol is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include inorganic sols such as silica, alumina, and magnesium fluoride. Among these, silica sol is preferable. The mixing ratio of the inorganic sol is, for example, in the range of 10 to 80 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total solid content of the antireflection layer forming material. The particle size of the inorganic fine particles in the inorganic sol is preferably in the range of 2 to 50 nm, and more preferably in the range of 5 to 30 nm.

  The material for forming the antireflection layer preferably contains hollow spherical silicon oxide ultrafine particles. The silicon oxide ultrafine particles preferably have an average particle diameter of about 5 to 300 nm, and more preferably in the range of 10 to 200 nm. The silicon oxide ultrafine particles are, for example, hollow spheres in which cavities are formed in the outer shells having pores, and the cavities include at least one of a solvent and a gas when preparing the silicon oxide ultrafine particles. It is a thing. Moreover, it is preferable that the precursor substance for forming the said cavity of the said silicon oxide ultrafine particle remains in the said cavity. The thickness of the outer shell is preferably in the range of about 1 to 50 nm and in the range of about 1/50 to 1/5 of the average particle diameter of the silicon oxide ultrafine particles. The outer shell is preferably formed from a plurality of coating layers. Further, in the silicon oxide ultrafine particles, it is preferable that the pores are closed and the cavity is sealed by the outer shell. This is because the porous or voids of the silicon oxide ultrafine particles are maintained in the antireflection layer, and the refractive index of the antireflection layer can be further reduced. As a method for producing such hollow and spherical silicon oxide ultrafine particles, for example, the method for producing silica-based fine particles disclosed in JP-A-2000-233611 is suitably employed.

  The temperature of drying and curing when forming the antireflection layer (low refractive index layer) is not particularly limited, and is, for example, in the range of 60 to 150 ° C, preferably in the range of 70 to 130 ° C. The drying and curing time is, for example, in the range of 1 to 30 minutes, and when considering productivity, the range of 1 to 10 minutes is preferable. Further, after the drying and curing, a high-hardness antiglare hard coat film having an antireflection layer can be obtained by further heat treatment. The temperature of the heat treatment is not particularly limited, and is, for example, in the range of 40 to 130 ° C., preferably in the range of 50 to 100 ° C. The heat treatment time is not particularly limited, and for example, 1 minute to From the viewpoint of improving scratch resistance for 100 hours, it is more preferable to carry out for 10 hours or more. The heat treatment can be performed by a method using a hot plate, an oven, a belt furnace, or the like.

  When an anti-glare hard coat film having an antireflection layer is mounted on an image display device, the antireflection layer is frequently the outermost layer, and thus is easily contaminated by the external environment. Antireflection layers are more prone to contamination than mere transparent plates.For example, surface reflectance changes due to adhesion of contaminants such as fingerprints, hand dirt, sweat, and hairdressing materials, and the deposits appear white. The displayed content may be unclear. In order to prevent the adhesion of contaminants and improve the ease of removing the adhered contaminants, a contamination prevention layer formed of a fluorine group-containing silane compound or fluorine group-containing organic compound is laminated on the antireflection layer. It is preferable to do.

  In the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, it is preferable to perform a surface treatment on at least one of the transparent plastic film substrate and the antiglare hard coat layer. If the surface of the transparent plastic film substrate is surface-treated, the adhesion to the antiglare hard coat layer, the polarizer or the polarizing plate is further improved. Further, if the surface of the antiglare hard coat layer is surface-treated, the adhesion with the antireflection layer, the polarizer or the polarizing plate is further improved. Examples of the surface treatment include low-pressure plasma treatment, ultraviolet irradiation treatment, corona treatment, flame treatment, and acid or alkali treatment. As the surface treatment when a triacetyl cellulose film is used as the transparent plastic film substrate, alkali treatment is preferable. This alkali treatment can be carried out, for example, by bringing the triacetyl cellulose film surface into contact with an alkali solution, washing with water and drying. As the alkaline solution, for example, potassium hydroxide solution and sodium hydroxide solution can be used. The specified concentration of hydroxide ions in the alkaline solution is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 3.0 N (mol / L), more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 N (mol / L). .

  In the antiglare hard coat film in which the antiglare hard coat layer is formed on one surface of the transparent plastic film substrate, the other surface may be subjected to a solvent treatment in order to prevent curling. Good. The solvent treatment can be carried out by contacting a solvent capable of dissolving the transparent plastic film substrate or a solvent capable of swelling. Curling can be prevented by applying a force to curl the other surface by the solvent treatment, thereby offsetting the force to curl by forming the antiglare hard coat layer. Similarly, in the antiglare hard coat film in which the antiglare hard coat layer is formed on one surface of the transparent plastic film substrate, in order to prevent curling, a transparent resin layer is provided on the other surface. It may be formed. Examples of the transparent resin layer include a layer mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin, a radiation curable resin, a thermosetting resin, and other reactive resins. Among these, a layer mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin is particularly preferable.

  In the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention, the transparent plastic film substrate side can usually be bonded to an optical member used in an LCD via an adhesive or an adhesive. In addition, in this bonding, various surface treatments as described above may be performed on the surface of the transparent plastic film substrate.

  Examples of the optical member include a polarizer and a polarizing plate. Generally, the polarizing plate has a transparent protective film on one side or both sides of the polarizer. When providing a transparent protective film on both surfaces of a polarizer, the same material may be sufficient as the transparent protective film of front and back, and a different material may be sufficient as it. The polarizing plates are usually disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal cell. Further, the polarizing plates are arranged so that the absorption axes of the two polarizing plates are substantially orthogonal to each other.

  Next, an optical member in which the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention is laminated will be described by taking a polarizing plate as an example. A polarizing plate having the function of the present invention can be obtained by laminating the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention with a polarizer or a polarizing plate using an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

  The polarizer is not particularly limited, and various types can be used. Examples of the polarizer include hydrophilic polymer films such as polyvinyl alcohol film, partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol film, and ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film, and iodine and dichroic dyes. Examples thereof include a polyene-based oriented film such as a film obtained by adsorbing a chromatic substance and uniaxially stretched, a dehydrated polyvinyl alcohol product or a dehydrochlorinated polyvinyl chloride product. Among these, a polarizer comprising a polyvinyl alcohol film and a dichroic substance such as iodine is preferable because of its high polarization dichroic ratio. Although the thickness in particular of the said polarizer is not restrict | limited, For example, it is about 5-80 micrometers.

  A polarizer obtained by dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol film with iodine and uniaxially stretching it can be prepared by, for example, dying a polyvinyl alcohol film in an aqueous solution of iodine and stretching it 3 to 7 times the original length. it can. The aqueous solution of iodine may contain boric acid, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride or the like, if necessary. Alternatively, the polyvinyl alcohol film may be immersed in an aqueous solution containing boric acid, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride or the like. If necessary, the polyvinyl alcohol film may be immersed in water and washed before dyeing. By washing the polyvinyl alcohol film with water, it is possible to clean the surface of the polyvinyl alcohol film and anti-blocking agents. In addition, the polyvinyl alcohol film is swollen to prevent unevenness such as uneven coloring. There is also an effect. Stretching may be performed after dyeing with iodine, may be performed while dyeing, or may be dyed with iodine after stretching. The film can be stretched in an aqueous solution of boric acid or potassium iodide or in a water bath.

  As the transparent protective film provided on one side or both sides of the polarizer, those having excellent transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture shielding property, retardation value stability and the like are preferable. Examples of the material for forming the transparent protective film include the same materials as those for the transparent plastic film substrate.

  Moreover, as a transparent protective film, the polymer film as described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2001-343529 (WO01 / 37007) is mention | raise | lifted. The polymer film described in the publication includes, for example, (A) a thermoplastic resin having at least one imide group of a substituted imide group and an unsubstituted imide group on the side chain, and (B) a substituted phenyl group and an unsubstituted group on the side chain. Examples thereof include a polymer film formed from a resin composition containing at least one phenyl group of a phenyl group and a thermoplastic resin having a nitrile group. Examples of the polymer film formed from the resin composition include a polymer film formed from a resin composition containing an alternating copolymer composed of isobutylene and N-methylmaleimide and an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer. can give. The polymer film can be produced by extruding the resin composition into a film. The polymer film has a small phase difference and a small photoelastic coefficient, and therefore, when applied to a protective film such as a polarizing plate, it can eliminate problems such as unevenness due to distortion and has a low moisture permeability. Excellent in humidification durability.

  The transparent protective film is preferably a film made of a cellulose resin such as triacetyl cellulose or a film made of a norbornene resin from the viewpoints of polarization characteristics and durability. Examples of the commercial product of the transparent protective film include trade name “Fujitac” (manufactured by FUJIFILM Corporation), trade name “ZEONOR” (manufactured by ZEON Corporation), trade name “ARTON” (manufactured by JSR Corporation), and the like. .

  The thickness of the transparent protective film is not particularly limited, but is, for example, in the range of 1 to 500 μm from the viewpoints of workability such as strength, handleability, and thin layer properties. If it is the said range, a polarizer will be protected mechanically, and even if it exposes to high temperature and high humidity, a polarizer will not shrink | contract and it can maintain the stable optical characteristic. The thickness of the transparent protective film is preferably in the range of 5 to 200 μm, and more preferably in the range of 10 to 150 μm.

  The configuration of the polarizing plate in which the antiglare hard coat film is laminated is not particularly limited. For example, the transparent protective film, the polarizer and the transparent protective film are arranged in this order on the antiglare hard coat film. The structure which laminated | stacked by this, and the structure which laminated | stacked the said polarizer and the said transparent protective film in this order on the said glare-proof hard coat film may be sufficient.

  The image display device of the present invention has the same configuration as the conventional image display device except that the antiglare hard coat film of the present invention is used. For example, in the case of an LCD, it can be manufactured by appropriately assembling each component such as a liquid crystal cell, an optical member such as a polarizing plate, and an illumination system (backlight or the like) as necessary and incorporating a drive circuit.

  The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is used for any appropriate application. Applications include, for example, OA devices such as personal computer monitors, laptop computers, and copy machines, mobile phones, watches, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable devices such as portable game machines, video cameras, televisions, microwave ovens, etc. Household electrical equipment, back monitor, car navigation system monitor, car audio and other in-vehicle equipment, display equipment for commercial store information monitors, security equipment such as monitoring monitors, nursing care monitors, medical monitors, etc. Nursing care / medical equipment.
