Description

200305043 玖:、:發臟說明 (發明說明應敘明··發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明) 一、 發明所屬之技術領域: 本發明係關於一種重量輕而且耐久性優異的光學補償 薄膜’以及關於一種使甩它之偏光板、影像顯示裝置。 二、 先前技術: 液晶顯示裝置與C RT比較之下,其係具有較薄型態、 重量輕、低耗電量等優異的特徵,因而一直被廣泛地使用在 筆記型個人電腦、顯示螢幕、電視、P D A、行動電話、汽車 追蹤器、錄影機、照相機等。但是,於現在主流的TN模式 液晶顯示裝置中,在原理上會產生依照觀察方向而變化顯示 色彩、及對比等視角特性上之問題。爲了改良此種視角特性 ,以及實現提高顯示品質之液晶顯示裝置,於日本專利第 2587398號中記載了一種將以碟狀液晶混雜配向之光學補 償薄膜間插在偏光板及液晶晶胞之間之手段。但是,依照此 種方法,會具有因光學補償薄膜及黏著劑的原故,而使得液 晶顯示裝置本紙變厚等問題。又且,在特開平7-191217號 公報及歐洲專利第091 1 656A2號說明書上乃記載了 一種藉 由使用在透明支撐體上塗設由碟狀液晶所形成的光學各向 異性層之光學補償薄膜來做爲偏光膜之單面保護膜構成的 橢圓偏光板,以使得液晶顯示裝置之厚度不變厚,並得以改 良視角。 三、發明內容: 【發明欲解決之課題】 200305043 然而,此種光學補償薄膜使用在高溫高溼等嚴格的環境 下,會產生應力及歪斜,且於該處易於發生相位差。由於此 相位差,可理解到在液晶顯示裝置上會生成邊框狀之光漏現 象(穿透上昇),而且使得液晶顯示裝置之顯示品質下降。特 別是在1 7吋以上的大型液晶顯示裝置之情況下,要能完全 地不光漏是很困難的。此外,曾提議將前述光學補償薄膜貼 合在偏光膜上,使具有做爲偏光膜之保護膜的功能,進而做 成簡單構造的液晶顯示裝置。但是,在使光學補償薄膜貼合 具有做爲偏光膜之保護膜的功能時,除了產生上述之問題以 外,當在高溫高溼下使用時水分會穿透光學補償薄膜,也產 生因該水分而使偏光膜之光學特性進一步下降等之問題。從 而,就光學補償薄膜而言,就需要求在高溫及高溼嚴格使用 條件下亦不會使光特性下降,而且水分不透過之耐久性等。 本發明即是鑑於前述問題,乃提供一種能夠於影像顯示 裝置上使用的情況下賦予視角之改良,同時前述影像顯示裝 置即使於嚴酷的條件下使用時也能減輕光漏等顯示品質下 降之光學補償薄膜及偏光板。又且,本發明之目的係在於提 供一種在嚴酷的條件下使用時所生成的光學特性變化少,而 且耐久性優異的光學補償薄膜及偏光板。又,本發明之其他 目的係在於提供一種廣視角,且在嚴酷的條件下使用情況可 減輕因所產生的光漏致使顯示品質下降,並且耐久性優異的 影像顯示裝置。 【解決課題之手段】, 本發明人等乃檢討光漏係使光學補償薄膜之光學特性 200305043 變化之原,因而得以認知發現以下二個原因: 其一爲影像顯示裝置在嚴酷的使用條件(高溫、高溼) 下,聚合物薄膜會膨脹或者收縮’因而使得光學補償薄膜之 光學特產生變化;另一者爲由於影像顯示裝置之背光點燈而 在光學補償薄膜之面內產生溫度分布,因爲此種熱度不均而 使光學特性產生變化。 基於此種認知發現並進一步檢討結果,發現光學補償薄 膜之光學特性變化與光彈性係數及透溼度間之關係,更進一 步重複地檢討,至此乃完成本發明。 本發明之解決手段係如以下所述。 (1) 一種光學補償薄膜,其係在一聚合物薄膜上方具有一 包括液晶性化合物的光學各向異性層,其特徵在於: 該聚合物薄膜係由具有光彈性係數爲1 〇 X 1 〇-1 2平 方公尺/牛頓以下,以及依照JIS Z0208試驗法所測

可用於前述聚合物薄膜中之聚合物,其在633毫米波 長之光彈性係數爲1 〇 X 1 〇.12平方公尺/牛頓以下,而且依 照J IS Z0 2 08試驗法所測定之透溼度爲]克/平方公尺· 24小時以下。使用光彈性係數及透溼度在前述範圍之聚 -11- 200305043 合物時,於高溫高溼之環境下使用的情況下,將可以減輕 所生成的光學特性之變化,而成爲耐久性優良的光學補償 薄膜。在本發明中所使用的聚合物,其光彈性係數較宜是 7 X 1 0_12平方公尺/牛頓。在本發明所使用的聚合物之前述 透溼度,較宜是0.6克/平方公尺· 24小時。 又在本發明中,透溼度之測定係使用JIS Z02 08試驗 法,並且以厚度爲300微米之聚合物做爲測定對象,於溫 度40°C及相對溼度爲90%之條件下來進行。 在本發明中所使用的聚合物,其比重較宜是在1 .2以 下。使用比重在前述範圍的聚合物時,可繼續地將光學特 性維持在理想之範圍,並可以減少重量,而使得偏光板、 影像顯示裝置輕量化。 使用光彈性係數及透溼度在前述範圍之聚合物的較 佳具體實施例,舉例來說,例如其可以是丙烯酸系樹脂( 例如,聚甲基丙烯酸酯)、環狀聚烯烴(例如,從J S R市售 可得之安通G、安通DF、從日本芮翁市售可得的芮諾阿 1020R、 1060R' 1420R、 1600R、芮諾克斯 480、 480R 、280R、490R、E48R、E28R、RS820)等。在彼等之中 ,特佳是使用一種含有如芮諾阿之環狀聚烯烴,特別是將 四環十二烯類之開環聚合物、或四環十二烯類與正萡烯類 之開環聚合物予以加氫所得到的聚合物做爲構成成分之 聚合物。意即,在特公平2-9619號及特開平9-263627 號之各公報上詳細記載之四環十二烯(又稱爲二甲醯基-1, -12- 200305043 4,5,8-八氫-1,2,3,4,4a,5,8,8a-萘)類之開環聚合物、 或四環十二烯類與正萡烯類(又稱爲二環-[2 · 2 · 1]-七烯 -2)類之開環聚合物予以加氫所得到的聚合物做爲構成成 分之聚合物,因爲吸溼性極佳、透明性、成形加工性、耐 水性均優,故爲特佳。在此種聚合物中之四環十二烯構造 的比例,依照耐熱性之觀點來看,通常是5 0莫耳。/。以上 ,較宜是在8 0莫耳%以上,特佳是在9 0莫耳。/。以上;而 聚合物之分子量係可以在開環聚合時添加烯烴或環烯烴 等而調節之,一般來說是1000〜50萬,較宜是1萬〜10 萬。 聚合物薄膜係可以利用溶液流延法、或熔融製膜法來 製作。依照薄膜之表面外觀來看,以溶液流延法較佳,然 而,依生產性及成本之觀點來看,不使用溶劑之熔融製膜 法較爲優良。在溶液流延法中,係使用一種將聚合物溶解 在有機溶劑中之溶液,來製造薄膜。溶液流延法之乾燥, 大致上可分爲於鼓(或皮帶)表面之乾燥,以及搬送薄膜時 之乾燥。於鼓(或皮帶)表面之乾燥,較宜是以不超過所使 用的溶劑之沸點的溫度(超過沸點時就會發泡)而慢慢地 乾燥。又,搬送薄膜時之乾燥,較宜是以聚合物之玻璃轉 化溫度± 3 0 °C來進行,更宜是在± 2 (TC下進行。前聚合物 薄膜,爲了下述之光學各向異性層,以及同時影像顯示裝 置之光學補償,因而有需要將遲滯値調整在預定之範圍, 又且’爲了防止因熱、應力或不均所引起的影像顯示裝置 -13- 200305043 之光漏,並維持顯示品質,則較宜是將聚合物薄膜之厚度 、熱傳導率、熱膨脹率等予以最適化。 以下,說明有關在本發明中所使用的聚合物之各種特 性的較佳範圍。又且,以溶液流延法所製作的聚合物薄膜 ,如後述那樣,由於其係依照在聚合物溶液之調製中所使 用溶劑之殘留量變化,其特性也會著變化,故也將於以下 說明有關溶劑之殘留量的較佳範圍◊ 在本發明中,聚合物之厚度較宜是40〜100微米。 在本發明中,Re遲滯値和Rth遲滯値係分別根據下 式(I )和式(n )定義: (I ) Re = (nx-ny) x d (Π ) Rth = {(nx+ny)/2-nz} x d 式中,nx及ny係分別代表在聚合物薄膜平面內之遲相 軸方向及進相軸方向的折射率;而nz則代表在聚合物薄膜 之厚度方向的折射率;以及d代表聚合物薄膜之厚度。 在本發明中,係將Re遲滯値調整在0〜100奈米之範 圍;並將Rth遲滯値調整在70〜500奈米之範圍。 將二枚之本發明之光學補償薄膜使用於T N模式之液 晶顯示裝置的情況,聚合物薄膜之Rth遲滯値較宜是在 7 0〜2 50奈米之範圍;在使用一枚光學補償薄膜之情況, 聚合物薄膜之Rth遲滯値較宜是在150〜400奈米之範圍

晶顯示裝置的情況,聚合物薄膜之之範圍;在用一枚光學 補償薄膜之情況,聚合物薄膜之之範圍。 在本發明中,爲了調整聚合物薄膜之Re遲滯値和Rth 遲滯値,則較宜是使用後述之遲滯値控制劑。可使用來做 爲遲滯値控制劑,係包括溶解在聚合物中及/或分散薄膜 中者。 在本發明之聚合物薄膜中,如上述那樣,係可以使之 含有遲滯値控制劑。前述之遲滯値控制劑,係用來將聚合 物薄膜之遲滯値調整在預定之範圍內。可做爲前述之遲滯 値控制劑,較宜是使用一種具有至少二個芳香族環之芳香 族化合物。在本說明書中所使用之「芳香族環」的意義, 係包括於添加有芳香族烴環之芳香族雜環。前述之芳香族 化合物,較宜是記載於特開2001 -1 66 1 44號公報上之由 碟狀化合物所形成的纖維素酯薄膜用遲滯値控制劑。又且 ,遲滯値上是劑之分子量,較宜是300〜800。 前述遲滯値控制劑,相對於1 0 0質量份之聚合物計, 宜是使用〇 _ 〇 1〜2 0質量份範圍;相對於1 〇 〇質量份之聚 -15- 200305043 合物計,較宜是使用〇 . 〇 5〜1 5質量份範圍;更宜是使用 〇 . 1〜1 0質量份範圍。倂用二種類以上之化合物也可以。 在本發明中所使用的聚合物薄膜之熱傳導率,較宜是 1 W/(m · K)。當熱傳導率係在上述之範圍時,則在光學補 償薄膜之面內所生成的溫度分布就可以均一化,因而光學 特性及顯示裝置之光漏就會顯著地減低。熱傳導率愈高愈 好,以後述之添加高熱傳導性粒子之方法而言,一般是在 1 0 W/(m · K)以下者。在本發明中,所謂聚合物薄膜之 傳導率’係爲依照以下所測定之値。也就是說,將聚合物 薄膜挾持在TO-3型加熱盒與銅板之間,予以壓縮薄膜厚 度之1 〇%。接著,以5W之電力施加在銅製加熱盒並保持 4分鐘’測定銅製加熱盒與銅板間之溫度差。將所測定之 溫度差値,利用下式算出熱傳導率。 熱傳導率{ W/(m· K)} = {電力(W)x厚度(m)}/{溫度差 (K)x測定面積(m2)} 爲了控制前述之聚合物薄膜之熱傳導率,在聚合物薄 膜中較宜是含有高熱傳導性粒子。又且,爲了控制熱傳導 率’也可以在聚合物薄膜之一側表面上,另外設置一含有 高熱傳導性粒子的熱傳導層。該含有高熱傳導性粒子的熱 傳導層’也可以是與聚合物共流延而設置,並且將含有前 述粒子的塗布液塗布在聚合物薄膜而設置也可以。可以使 用的高熱傳導性粒子,舉例來說,例如其可以是氮化鉻、 氮化矽、氮化硼、氮化鎂、碳化矽、氧化氧化矽、氧化鋅 -16· 200305043 、氧化鎂、碳、金剛石、以及金屬等。爲爲不損及薄膜之 透明性,較宜是使用透明的粒子。高熱傳導性粒子之平均 粒徑較宜是在0.05〜8◦微米之範圍,更宜是在〇」〜10微 米之範圍。又且,也可以使用球狀粒子,使用針狀之粒子 也可以。 添加在聚合物薄膜中之高熱傳導性粒子的量,相對於 100質量份之聚合物計,較宜是5〜100質量份之範圍。當 添加量不足5質量份時,熱傳導之提昇就會不足,又且, 當超過5 0質量份時生產性就會不良,而使得聚合物有脆 化之傾向。 在本發明中所使用的聚合物薄膜,吸溼膨脹係數較宜 是在30x1CT5/%RH以下,較宜是在15X1(T5/%RH以下 ,更宜是在10X1(T5/%.RH以下。當吸溼膨脹係數係在前 述之範圍內時,即使是在局淫下使用的情況也可以減輕聚 合物薄膜之不均一,也可以防此在高溼下使用情況的情況 之條塊狀Z光漏(穿透癣上昇)。尙且,雖然吸淫膨脹係數 是愈小愈好,但通常是在1.0 X 1 〇 ·5 / % R Η以上之値。 吸溼膨脹係數於一定溫度下隨著閜對溼度而變化時 ,係表示該試料長度之變化量。具體而言,將聚合物薄膜 切割成寬度5毫米、長度2 0毫米之試料,將單側之端點 予以固定並掛在25°C、20%RH(RQ)之周圍環境下。男〜 端則負荷〇_5克重,放置10分鐘,勣量其長度(L。)。接 著,溫度仍爲2 5 0 °C,於溼度爲8 0 % R H ( R J,測定其長度 200305043 (LJ。吸溼膨脹係數則可以由該測定値依下式而算出。對 同一試料進行1 0個試樣之測定,採用其平均値。 吸溼膨脹係數[/%RH] = 4。)/1&gt;。}/(!^-卩0) 根據本發明人之檢討,爲了使聚合物薄膜因吸溼而起 的尺寸變化變小,可瞭解若是能使聚合物薄膜中之自由體 積變小的話較佳。能對此種自由體之大小賦予大的影響者 ,就溶液流延法而言,製膜後殘留在聚合物中所殘留的調 製聚合物溶液(塗布液)用的溶劑之殘留量。減少殘留溶液 用之一般手段,係在塗布液流延製膜之後,以高溫且長時 間地乾燥,然而以不太長的時間乾燥時,當然也就使得生 產性下降。殘得溶劑之量較宜是在〇 · 〇 1〜1質量份之範圍 ;更宜是在 0.02〜0.07質量份之範圍,最好是在 0.03〜0.05質量份之範圍。 在聚合物薄膜中之殘留溶劑量,係可以將一定量之試 料溶解在氯仿中,並使用質體層析儀(GC18A,島津製作 所製)來測定。聚合物薄膜之彈性率較宜是在3000 M pa以 下,更宜是在500Mpa。 就使聚合物薄膜之不均變小而言’藉由將聚合物薄膜 予以拉伸而使聚合物分子面之配向變高,係爲有效的手段 。此外,調整聚合物薄膜之遲滯値也是一種有效的手段。 就使聚合物分子面之配向變高來說,較宜是雙軸拉伸 。雙軸拉伸係有同時雙軸拉伸法及批次雙軸拉伸法,然而 依連續製造的觀點來看,較宜是批次雙軸拉伸方法,於塗 200305043 布液流延之後’以皮帶或鼓將薄膜予以剝離,將寬度方向 (長軸方法)拉伸之後,再拉伸長軸方向(寬度方向)。拉伸 寬度方向之方法,例如於特開6 2 -1 1 5 0 3 5號、特開平4 -1 52 1 25號、特開平4-2 8421 1號、特開平4-29831 0號、 特開平1 1 - 4 8 2 7 1號等各公報上所記載者。拉伸是在常溫 或加熱條件下實施。加熱溫度較宜是在薄膜之玻璃轉化溫 度以下。 在以溶液流延來製做聚合物薄膜之情況,也可以在製

The technical field to which the invention belongs: The present invention relates to a light weight Furthermore, an optical compensation film having excellent durability, and a polarizing plate and an image display device capable of removing it. 2. Previous technology: Compared with CRT, liquid crystal display devices have thinner, lighter, and lower power consumption characteristics, so they have been widely used in notebook personal computers, display screens, TV, PDA, mobile phone, car tracker, video recorder, camera, etc. However, in the current mainstream TN-mode liquid crystal display devices, problems in view angle characteristics such as changing display colors and contrast in accordance with the viewing direction occur in principle. In order to improve such viewing angle characteristics and to achieve a liquid crystal display device with improved display quality, Japanese Patent No. 2587398 describes an optical compensation film intermixed with a disc-shaped liquid crystal and interposed between a polarizer and a liquid crystal cell. means. However, according to this method, there is a problem that the liquid crystal display device becomes thicker due to the reason of the optical compensation film and the adhesive. In addition, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-191217 and European Patent No. 091 1 656A2 describe an optical compensation film using an optically anisotropic layer formed by a disc-shaped liquid crystal on a transparent support. The elliptically polarizing plate constituted by a single-sided protective film of the polarizing film, so that the thickness of the liquid crystal display device does not become thick, and the viewing angle can be improved. III. Summary of the Invention: [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] 200305043 However, this optical compensation film is used under severe environments such as high temperature and high humidity, which will cause stress and distortion, and a phase difference is likely to occur there. Due to this phase difference, it can be understood that a frame-like light leakage phenomenon (increased penetration) is generated on the liquid crystal display device, and the display quality of the liquid crystal display device is degraded. Especially in the case of a large-sized liquid crystal display device of 17 inches or more, it is difficult to completely prevent light leakage. In addition, it has been proposed to attach the aforementioned optical compensation film to a polarizing film so as to have a function as a protective film of the polarizing film, and then to make a liquid crystal display device having a simple structure. However, when the optical compensation film is bonded to have the function of a protective film for a polarizing film, in addition to the problems described above, when it is used under high temperature and high humidity, moisture can penetrate the optical compensation film, and the moisture caused by Problems such as further deteriorating the optical characteristics of the polarizing film. Therefore, as for the optical compensation film, it is required to have durability under conditions of high temperature and high humidity that will not degrade the light characteristics, and that it is impervious to moisture. The present invention is made in view of the foregoing problems, and provides an optical system capable of improving the viewing angle when used on an image display device, and at the same time, the image display device can reduce the display quality of light leakage and the like even when used under severe conditions. Compensation film and polarizer. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide an optical compensation film and a polarizing plate which have less change in optical characteristics and have excellent durability when used under severe conditions. Still another object of the present invention is to provide an image display device having a wide viewing angle, which can reduce the display quality due to the light leakage caused by the use under severe conditions, and has excellent durability. [Means to solve the problem] The inventors reviewed the reason why the light leakage system changes the optical characteristics of the optical compensation film 200305043, so they can recognize the following two reasons: One is the harsh use conditions of the image display device (high temperature , High humidity), the polymer film will expand or contract, thus causing changes in the optical characteristics of the optical compensation film; the other is the temperature distribution in the surface of the optical compensation film due to the backlight of the image display device, because Such uneven heat causes changes in optical characteristics. Based on this cognitive discovery and further review of the results, it was found that the relationship between the changes in the optical characteristics of the optically compensated film, the photoelastic coefficient, and the moisture permeability was further and repeatedly reviewed, and the present invention has been completed. The solution of the present invention is as follows.

In addition, the numbers described before and after "to (~)" in this specification indicate that individual numbers are included. The range of the minimum and maximum values. [Optical compensation film] The optical compensation film of the present invention is formed by laminating optically anisotropic layers including a polymer film and a liquid crystal compound. Hereinafter, the optical compensation film of the present invention will be described. Various possible uses Material and its manufacturing method can be used for the polymer film of a polymer, which is 633 millimeter wavelengths of photoelastic coefficient of 1 X 1 billion billion. It is less than 12 square meters / newton, and the moisture permeability measured according to the J IS Z0 2 08 test method is] g / square meter 24 hours or less. When using a poly-11-200305043 compound with a photoelastic coefficient and moisture permeability in the aforementioned range, when used in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the change in the optical characteristics generated can be reduced, and an optical with excellent durability can be obtained Compensation film. The polymer used in the present invention preferably has a photoelastic coefficient of 7 X 1 0-12 m 2 / newton. The aforementioned moisture permeability of the polymer used in the present invention is preferably 0. 6 g / m² · 24 hours. In the present invention, the measurement of moisture permeability is performed using the JIS Z02 08 test method, and a polymer having a thickness of 300 micrometers is used as the measurement object, and the temperature is 40 ° C and the relative humidity is 90%. The specific gravity of the polymer used in the present invention is preferably 1. 2 or less. When a polymer having a specific gravity within the aforementioned range is used, the optical characteristics can be continuously maintained in an ideal range, and the weight can be reduced, so that the polarizing plate and the image display device are reduced in weight. A preferred embodiment using a polymer having a photoelastic coefficient and a moisture permeability in the foregoing ranges, for example, it may be an acrylic resin (for example, polymethacrylate), a cyclic polyolefin (for example, from JSR Commercially available Antong G, Antong DF, Renoir 1020R, 1060R '1420R, 1600R, Renox 480, 480R, 280R, 490R, E48R, E28R, RS820 )Wait. Among them, it is particularly preferable to use a cyclic polyolefin such as Renoir, especially a ring-opening polymer of tetracyclododecenes, or A polymer obtained by hydrogenating a ring-opening polymer as a constituent polymer. This means that tetracyclododecene (also known as dimethylamidino-1, -12- 200305043 4, 5, 8- Ring-opening polymers of octahydro-1, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 5, 8, 8a-naphthalene), or tetracyclododecene and n-pinene (also known as bicyclo- [2 · 2 · 1] -Heptene-2) Hydrogenated ring-opening polymer is a polymer obtained by hydrogenation as a constituent polymer, because it has excellent hygroscopicity, transparency, moldability, and water resistance. Therefore, it is particularly good. The proportion of the tetracyclododecene structure in such a polymer is usually 50 mol from the viewpoint of heat resistance. /. Above, it is more preferable to be more than 80 mole%, and particularly preferred is to be more than 90 mole. /. The molecular weight of the polymer can be adjusted by adding olefins or cycloolefins during ring-opening polymerization. Generally, the molecular weight is 10 to 500,000, and more preferably 10,000 to 100,000. The polymer film system can be produced by a solution casting method or a melt film forming method. From the viewpoint of the surface appearance of the film, the solution casting method is preferable, but from the viewpoint of productivity and cost, the melt film forming method without using a solvent is superior. In the solution casting method, a solution is prepared by dissolving a polymer in an organic solvent to produce a thin film. The drying of the solution casting method can be roughly divided into drying on the surface of the drum (or belt) and drying when transporting the film.

In addition, the drying of the film is preferably carried out at a glass transition temperature of the polymer of ± 30 ° C, and more preferably at ± 2 ° C. The front polymer film is for the following optical anisotropy And optical compensation of the image display device at the same time, it is necessary to adjust the hysteresis to a predetermined range, and 'to prevent light leakage of the image display device-13- 200305043 due to heat, stress or unevenness, and In order to maintain the display quality, it is preferable to optimize the thickness, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, etc. of the polymer film. Hereinafter, the preferred ranges of various characteristics of the polymer used in the present invention will be described. As will be described later, the polymer film produced by the solution casting method changes its characteristics in accordance with the residual amount of the solvent used in the preparation of the polymer solution, so the characteristics of the solvent will also be described below. The preferred range of the residual amount ◊ In the present invention, the thickness of the polymer is more preferably 40 to 100 microns. In the present invention, the Re hysteresis 値 and Rth hysteresis 値 are based on the following formula (I) and (N) Definition: (I) Re = (nx-ny) xd (Π) Rth = {(nx + ny) / 2-nz} xd where nx and ny represent the delay in the plane of the polymer film, respectively. Refractive index in the phase axis direction and the progressive axis direction; nz represents the refractive index in the thickness direction of the polymer film; and d represents the thickness of the polymer film. In the present invention, the Re hysteresis 値 is adjusted to 0 ~ 100 nm range; and adjust the Rth hysteresis to 70 ~ 500 nm. When two optical compensation films of the present invention are used in a TN mode liquid crystal display device, the Rth hysteresis of the polymer film is smaller. It is preferably in the range of 70 to 2 50 nanometers; in the case of using one optical compensation film, the Rth hysteresis of the polymer film is more preferably two optical compensations of the present invention in the range of 150 to 400 nanometers. When the film is used in the 200305043 liquid crystal display device of the OCB mode, the Re hysteresis of the polymer film is preferably 30 to 50 nm, and the Rth hysteresis is preferably 150 to 200 nm. When using an optical compensation film In the case, the Rt h hysteresis of the polymer film is preferably 50 to 100 nm, and the Rth値 It is more suitable in the range of 300 ~ 500 nm. In the case of using two optical compensation films of the present invention in a TN mode liquid crystal display device, the range of polymer films; in the case of using one optical compensation film In the present invention, in order to adjust the Re hysteresis and Rth hysteresis of the polymer film, it is more suitable to use the hysteresis control agent described later. It can be used as a hysteresis control agent. This includes those dissolved in a polymer and / or a dispersed film. As described above, the polymer film of the present invention can contain a hysteresis control agent. The aforementioned hysteresis control agent is used to adjust the hysteresis of a polymer film within a predetermined range. As the aforementioned hysteresis control agent, it is preferable to use an aromatic compound having at least two aromatic rings. The meaning of the "aromatic ring" used in the present specification includes an aromatic heterocyclic ring to which an aromatic hydrocarbon ring is added. The aforementioned aromatic compound is more preferably a hysteresis control agent for a cellulose ester film formed from a dish-like compound described in JP 2001-1 66 1 44. Moreover, the molecular weight of the agent is on the hysteresis, preferably 300 ~ 800. The aforementioned hysteresis control agent is preferably used in the range of 0.001 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the polymer; compared to 100 parts by mass of the poly-15-200305043 compound, It is advisable to use 0.  〇 5 ~ 15 parts by mass; more preferably 〇.  1 to 10 parts by mass. It is also possible to use two or more kinds of compounds. The thermal conductivity of the polymer film used in the present invention is preferably 1 W / (m · K). When the thermal conductivity is in the above range, the temperature distribution generated in the surface of the optical compensation film can be uniformized, and the optical characteristics and light leakage of the display device can be significantly reduced. The higher the thermal conductivity, the better. The method of adding highly thermally conductive particles described below is generally below 10 W / (m · K). In the present invention, the "conductivity" of the polymer thin film is measured as follows. That is, the polymer film is held between the TO-3 heating box and the copper plate, and the thickness of the film is compressed by 10%. Next, a 5W power was applied to the copper heating box and held for 4 minutes' to measure the temperature difference between the copper heating box and the copper plate. The measured temperature difference was calculated by the following formula. Thermal conductivity {W / (m · K)} = {electricity (W) x thickness (m)} / {temperature difference (K) x measured area (m2)} In order to control the thermal conductivity of the aforementioned polymer film, It is preferable that the material film contains highly thermally conductive particles. Further, in order to control the thermal conductivity ', a heat conductive layer containing highly thermally conductive particles may be additionally provided on one side surface of the polymer film. The heat-conducting layer containing the highly heat-conductive particles may be provided by co-casting with a polymer, or may be provided by applying a coating solution containing the particles to a polymer film. Highly thermally conductive particles that can be used, for example, they can be chromium nitride, silicon nitride, boron nitride, magnesium nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxide, zinc oxide-16 · 200305043, magnesium oxide, carbon , Diamond, and metal. In order not to impair the transparency of the film, it is preferable to use transparent particles. The average particle size of the highly thermally conductive particles is preferably 0. The range from 05 to 8 microns is more preferably from 0 to 10 microns. Further, spherical particles may be used, and needle-shaped particles may be used. The amount of the highly thermally conductive particles added to the polymer film is preferably in the range of 5 to 100 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the polymer. When the added amount is less than 5 parts by mass, the improvement in heat conduction is insufficient, and when it exceeds 50 parts by mass, productivity is poor, and the polymer tends to become brittle. The polymer film used in the present invention, the moisture absorption expansion coefficient is preferably 30x1CT5 /% RH or less, more preferably 15X1 (T5 /% RH or less, and more preferably 10X1 (T5 /%. Below RH. When the coefficient of hygroscopic expansion is within the aforementioned range, the unevenness of the polymer film can be reduced even in the case of use under local prostitution, and the block-shaped Z-ray can be prevented in the case of use under high humidity. Leaks (penetrating tinea rise). Moreover, although the smaller the coefficient of sexual expansion, the better, but usually it is 1. 0 X 1 〇 · 5 /% R Η more than 値. When the coefficient of hygroscopic expansion changes with the relative humidity at a certain temperature, it indicates the amount of change in the length of the sample. Specifically, the polymer film was cut into a test piece having a width of 5 mm and a length of 20 mm, and the end points on one side were fixed and hung in a surrounding environment of 25 ° C and 20% RH (RQ). The male to the end is loaded with a weight of 0-5 grams and left for 10 minutes to accumulate its length (L.). Next, the temperature was still 250 ° C, and the humidity was 80% RH (RJ, and the length was measured 200305043 (LJ. The coefficient of hygroscopic expansion can be calculated from the measurement according to the following formula.) 1 0 For the measurement of each sample, the average 値 is used. Moisture expansion coefficient [/% RH] = 4.) / 1 &gt;.} / (! ^-卩 0) According to the review by the inventors, It is understood that the dimensional change caused by moisture absorption is small, and it is understood that it is better to make the free volume in the polymer film smaller. Those who can give a large influence to the size of this free body, as for the solution casting method, Residual amount of solvent used to prepare polymer solution (coating solution) remaining in the polymer after film formation. The general method for reducing the residual solution is after the coating solution is cast into a film at high temperature and for a long time. Drying, however, when drying for a not too long time, of course, it will reduce productivity. The amount of residual solvent is more preferably in the range of 〇1 ~ 1 parts by mass; more preferably in the range of 0. 02 ~ 0. The range of 07 parts by mass is preferably 0. 03 ~ 0. 05 parts by mass. The amount of residual solvent in the polymer film can be determined by dissolving a certain amount of sample in chloroform and using a mass chromatograph (GC18A, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). The elasticity of the polymer film is preferably less than 3000 Mpa, and more preferably 500Mpa. In order to reduce the unevenness of the polymer film, it is an effective means to increase the orientation of the polymer molecular surface by stretching the polymer film. In addition, adjusting the hysteresis of the polymer film is also an effective method. As far as the orientation of the molecular surface of the polymer is increased, biaxial stretching is preferred. The biaxial stretching system includes a simultaneous biaxial stretching method and a batch biaxial stretching method. However, from the viewpoint of continuous manufacturing, a batch biaxial stretching method is preferred. After coating 200305043, the cloth is cast. After the film is peeled off with a belt or a drum, and stretched in the width direction (long axis method), the film is stretched in the long axis direction (width direction). The method of stretching the width direction is, for example, JP 6 2 -1 1 5 0 3 5; JP 4-4 52 1 25; JP 4-2 8421 1; JP 4-29831 0; Documented in various publications such as Kaiping 1 1-4 8 2 7 1. Stretching is performed under normal temperature or heating conditions. The heating temperature is preferably below the glass transition temperature of the film. When a polymer film is produced by solution casting, it may be stretched in a drying step after the film is formed. This is effective especially in the case of a residual solvent. In the case of stretching in the long axis direction, for example, the speed of the film conveying roller can be adjusted, and the film can be accelerated and continuously stretched according to the film peeling speed or the curling speed. In the case of stretching in the width direction, the tissue on the tenter can be gradually enlarged and stretched while holding the film on the tenter and carrying it. It is also possible to stretch after stretching the film using a stretcher (preferably using a long stretcher for uniaxial stretching). The stretch ratio of the film (the ratio of the original length to the amount added by stretching) is preferably 5 to 50%, more preferably 10 to 40%, and most preferably 15 to 35%. The steps from casting to drying may be performed in the surrounding environment of air, or may be performed in the surrounding environment of an inert gas such as nitrogen gas. The polymer film used in the present invention can be stored in a curled state after being manufactured and transported. The crimping machine used can be crimped by using commonly used materials, and crimping methods such as constant tension method, constant torque method, belt-19- 200305043 type stretching method, constant internal stress program tension control method, etc. Curl. The polymer film used in the present invention is preferably subjected to a surface treatment in order to provide an optically anisotropic layer containing a liquid crystal compound described later. Specific methods include, for example, corona discharge treatment, glow discharge treatment, flame treatment, acid treatment, alkaline treatment, or ultraviolet irradiation treatment. According to the description in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7- 3 3 3 4 3 3, an undercoat layer is preferably provided. From the viewpoint of maintaining the flatness of the film, the surface treatment temperature is preferably below the T g (glass transition temperature) of the polymer film, and more specifically, below 170 ° C. The surface energy of the polymer film used in the present invention is preferably more than 55 mN / m, more preferably 60 mN / m to 75 mN / m. The surface energy of solids can be measured by the contact angle method, the moist heat method, or the adsorption method described in "Basic Applications of Wetting" (Understanding Publishing Company, published on February 10, 1989). In the case of the polymer film of the present invention, the contact angle method is preferably used. Specifically, it is formed by dripping two kinds of solutions with known surface energy on the cellulose acetate film to form a drawing between the tangent of the droplet and the film surface according to the intersection of the surface of the droplet and the surface of the film. The angle including the droplet direction is defined as the contact angle, and the surface energy of the film is calculated. Although the optical compensation film of the present invention is an optically anisotropic layer formed of a liquid crystal compound on the prepared polymer film, the optical film provided on the polymer film subjected to surface treatment is optically disposed thereon. Between each -20- 200305043 anisotropic layer, it is more appropriate to install an alignment film. The alignment film system allows the liquid crystal compound used to be aligned in a certain direction. Therefore, in the production of the optical compensation film of the present invention, although an alignment film is necessary, if the liquid crystal compound is aligned and then it is fixed in an aligned state, it is not necessary to have an alignment film. In other words, the alignment film is not a necessary constituent element of the optical compensation film; in addition, only the optically anisotropic layer on the alignment film whose alignment state is fixed can be transferred onto the polymer film to manufacture the optical compensation film. The alignment film has a function of specifying an alignment direction of a liquid crystal compound. Alignment films can be formed by rubbing organic compounds (preferably polymers), orthorhombic treatment of inorganic compounds, forming microgroove-like layers, or by using the Lange's-Broadlot method (LB film). Set up by accumulating organic compounds (for example, omega-tricosanoic acid, dioctadecylmethylammonium chloride, and methyl stearate). In the present invention, the alignment film is preferably formed by rubbing the polymer. The alignment film is preferably a polyvinyl alcohol derivative. Particularly preferred is a modified polyvinyl alcohol having a hydrophobic group incorporated therein. Although the alignment film may be formed of one type of polymer ', it may be formed by rubbing a layer formed of two types of crosslinked polymers. At least one type of polymer is a self-crosslinkable polymer 'or a polymer crosslinked by crosslinking, and it is preferable to use any one of them. The alignment film system can introduce a polymer with a functional group or introduce a functional group into the polymer, and form a reaction between the polymers through changes in light, heat, ρ Η, etc .; 21- 200305043 The bond from the cross-linking agent is introduced into the polymers, and is produced by the cross-linking between polymers. The cross-linking reaction of the alignment film is carried out by applying an alignment film coating solution containing the polymer described above or a mixture containing the polymer and a cross-linking agent onto a polymer film, and then performing heating in accordance with desired heating. In order to ensure excellent durability at the final product stage, the cross-linking treatment may be performed at any stage after the alignment film is coated on the transparent support until the final optical compensation sheet is obtained. When considering the alignment of a compound (optical anisotropic layer) having a disc-like structure formed on an alignment film, the compound having a disc-like structure may be aligned, and then a crosslinking reaction may be sufficiently performed. The cross-linking reaction of an alignment film generally involves coating an alignment film coating solution on a polymer film and heating and drying it. It is preferable to set the heating temperature of such a coating liquid to a low point, and then, when the optically anisotropic layer is formed, the alignment film is sufficiently crosslinked during the heat treatment stage. The alignment film is preferably as described in Japanese Patent No. 2587398. The thickness of the alignment film is preferably from 0.1 to 10 μm. Heat drying can be performed at a heating temperature of 20 to 110 ° C. In order to sufficiently form the cross-linking, the temperature is preferably 60 to 100 ° C, and more preferably 80 to 100 ° C. The drying time may be from 1 minute to 36 hours, preferably from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. Also, P Η is preferably set to the optimum value in accordance with the crosslinking agent used. In the case of using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent, the pH is preferably 4. 5 to 5. 5, especially good for 5. 200305043 The rubbing treatment can be performed using the treatment method widely used in the alignment treatment process of LCD liquid crystals. That is, the surface of the alignment film can be aligned by rubbing in a certain direction using paper, cloth, felt, rubber or nylon, polyester fiber, etc. Generally, it can also be implemented by rubbing several times with a cloth or the like made of fibers uniformly planted with fibers of uniform length and thickness. In the present invention, the optically anisotropic layer formed of a liquid crystalline compound is preferably formed on an alignment film provided on a polymer film. The liquid crystal compound used in the optically anisotropic layer includes rod-shaped liquid crystal compounds and disc-shaped liquid crystal compounds, which may be polymer liquid crystals or low-molecular liquid crystals. Furthermore, low-molecular liquid crystals Liquid crystals also include liquid crystal properties that do not exhibit cross-linking. Among them, a discotic liquid crystalline compound is ideal. In the optically anisotropic layer, a discotic liquid crystalline compound is preferably used. The discotic compound system includes a dish-like liquid crystal. The optically anisotropic layer contains a discotic liquid crystalline compound, a polymerization initiator described later, and optional additives (for example, a plasticizer, a monomer, a surfactant, a cellulose ester, 1, 3, 5 -A liquid crystal compound (coating solution) of a tri-acrylic compound, a coupler), which is coated on an alignment film, and is prepared by aligning a disc-driven liquid crystal compound. Examples of disc-shaped (dish-shaped) liquid crystalline compounds include C.  Research report by Destrade et al., In Mob Cryst. Benzene derivatives recorded in Volume 71, 111 (1981); c. Research report by Destrade et al. 200305043 in Mol.  Cryst. Triindene derivatives as described in Volume 122, page 141 (1985), Physics lett, A, Volume 78, page 82 (1990); B.  Research report by Kohn et al. In Angew.  Chem. Volume 96, page 70 (1 984) of the cyclohexane derivatives; and "· Lehn et al.  Chem.  Commun, p. 1794 (1985), with J.  Research report by Zhang et al., J.  Am.  Chem.  Soc. Nitrogen-crown or phenylacetylene-type macrocyclic compounds as described in vol. 116, p. 2655 (1994). In addition, the discotic liquid crystalline compound generally has a mother core that is a molecular center of this type, and has a linear alkyl group, an alkoxy group, and a substituted benzamidine group as its The chain has a structure in which it is replaced radially and exhibits liquid crystallinity. However, the molecule itself has negative uniaxiality, and the thing that imparts a predetermined alignment is not particularly limited to the thing described above. Moreover, in the present invention, when the optically anisotropic layer is formed from a dish-like compound, it is not always necessary to be the above-mentioned compound; for example, the aforementioned low-molecular-weight dish-like liquid crystal compound having a thermal or photoreactive group will eventually be caused by heat It reacts with light or the like to polymerize or crosslink the agent and form a high-molecular-weight substance that loses liquid crystallinity. In order to fix and fix the discotic liquid crystalline compound by polymerization, a polymerizable group needs to be combined as a substituent on the discoid center of the discotic liquid crystalline compound. However, it is preferable to introduce an elongated material (linking group) between the disc-shaped center and the polymerizable group. Preferred examples of the discotic liquid crystalline compound are those described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-5002, and the polymerization of the discotic liquid crystalline compound is described in JP-24. -200305043 Bulletin 8-27284. In the present invention, the angle (tilt angle) between the disc surface of the discotic liquid crystalline compound and the surface of the polymer film is different depending on the depth direction of the optically anisotropic layer. That is, the angle of inclination changes as the distance from the bottom of the optically anisotropic layer increases; for example, such changes include continuous increase, continuous decrease, intermittent increase, intermittent decrease, and continuous Changes in increase and decrease, and intermittent changes including increase or decrease. Intermittent changes include areas where the inclination angle does not change in the layer thickness direction. The inclination angle includes areas where the inclination angle does not change, and it is preferable to increase or decrease all in the layer. The tilt angle is more preferably increased completely in the layer, and particularly preferably continuously changed. The inclination angle of the disc-shaped unit on the side of the alignment film can generally be adjusted by selecting the disc-shaped liquid crystal compound or the material of the alignment film, or by selecting the rubbing treatment method. In addition, the inclination angle of the disc-shaped unit on the surface side (air side) is generally adjusted by selecting a disc-shaped liquid crystal compound or another compound used together with the disc-shaped liquid crystal compound. . Examples of the compound that can be used together with the discotic liquid crystalline compound include, for example, plasticizers, surfactants, polymerizable monomers and polymers. Furthermore, the degree of change in the tilt angle can be adjusted by the above selection. The optically anisotropic layer may contain additives other than the discotic liquid crystalline compound. Plasticizers, surfactants, and polymerizable monomers that can be used simultaneously with the above-mentioned discotic liquid crystalline compounds, as long as they are compatible with the -25-200305043 dish-like compound and can give the dish-like compound a tilt change Corner, or as long as it does not interfere with the alignment, any such compound can be used. Among these, a polymerizable monopolymer (for example, a compound having a vinyl group, a vinyloxy group, an acrylfluorenyl group, or a methacrylfluorenyl group) is preferred. The amount of the compound to be added is generally 1 to 50% by weight, and more preferably 5 to 30% by weight based on the discotic liquid crystalline compound. In addition, when it is used in combination with a monopolymer having 4 or more reactive functional groups, the adhesion between the alignment film and the optically anisotropic layer can be improved. In the present invention, in general, the optically anisotropic layer is generally a solution formed by dissolving a discotic liquid crystalline compound and other compounds in a solvent, coated on the alignment layer, dried, and then heated. It is obtained by cooling to the formation temperature of the dish-shaped nematic phase, and then keeping it in the alignment state (dish-shaped nematic phase) and cooling it. Alternatively, the optically anisotropic layer is coated on the alignment layer by a solution formed by dissolving a discotic liquid crystalline compound and other compounds (for example, a polymerizable monomer or a photopolymerization initiator) in a solvent, It is made by drying, and then heating (for example, by UV light irradiation) to the formation temperature of the dish-like nematic phase, and then polymerizing it, and further cooling it. The discotic nematic phase-to-solid phase transition temperature of the discotic liquid crystalline compound used in the present invention is preferably 70 to 300 ° C, especially 70 to 170 ° C. In the present invention, it is preferred that the liquid crystal compound which is aligned is vicinal fixing. Immobilization is preferably carried out by polymerization. The polymerization reaction includes a thermal polymerization reaction using a thermal polymerization initiator and a photopolymerization reaction using a photopolymerization initiator -26- 200305043; however, a photopolymerization reaction is preferred. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include α-carbonyl compounds (as described in the specifications of U.S. Patent No. 2376661 and U.S. Patent No. 2367670), ein ether (as described in the U.S. Patent No. 2 448 828), and α- Hydroxyl-substituted aromatic coupler compounds (as described in US Patent No. 272251 2), polynuclear quinone compounds (as described in US Patent No. 3046127 and US Patent No. 2951758), triarylimidazole dimers and P-amines A combination of acetophenone (as described in the specification of US Patent No. 3 5 4 9 3 6 7), a pyridine and a phenoxine compound (as described in each specification of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-105667 and US Patent No. 4239850), and噚 Diazo compounds (as described in US Patent No. 42 1 2970) and the like. The amount of photopolymerization initiator used is more preferably 0% of solids in the coating solution. 01 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by mass. The irradiation energy is preferably 20 mJ / cm², and more preferably 100 to 800 mJ / cm². In addition, in order to promote the photopolymerization reaction, light irradiation may be performed under heating conditions. As described above, by providing the optically anisotropic layer on the polymer film, the optical compensation film of the present invention can be manufactured. A protective layer may be provided above the optically anisotropic layer. The optical compensation film of the present invention can be used as a component of a polarizing plate and a component of an image display device. Especially when used in liquid crystal display devices, it will help to improve the viewing angle. Furthermore, in the case where the image display device is used under severe conditions (external force load, high temperature, high humidity), it will help reduce the degradation of the display quality due to light leakage -27- 200305043. Moreover, when used in polarizing plates and image display devices, it will help them to be thinner and lighter. In particular, the optical compensation film of the present invention is used alone or in the form of a polarizing plate bonded to a polarizing film for an image display device, particularly a transmissive liquid crystal display device. Hereinafter, embodiments of the optical compensation film of the present invention applied to a polarizing plate and an image display device will be described separately. [Polarizing plate] One of the embodiments of the polarizing plate of the present invention is a polarizing plate composed of a polarizing film and two transparent protective films disposed on both sides thereof; and a polarizing plate having at least one of the transparent protective films This is a polarizing plate of the optical compensation film of the present invention. It is also possible to use the optical compensation film of the present invention for only one of the protective films' and use the optical compensation film of the present invention for both protective films. In the case where one protective film is formed, a general cellulose acetate film can be used as the other protective film. As the polarizing film of the present invention, any of an iodine-based polarizing film, a dichroic dye-based polarizing film, and a polyolefin-based polarizing film can be used. The iodine-based polarizing film and the dye-based polarizing film are usually produced using a polyvinyl alcohol film. Furthermore, in terms of the durability of the polarizing plate, the durability (temperature and heat resistance) of the protective film is important. That is to say, due to the conditions of use of the image display device (under high obscenity), when water enters the polarizing film, the polarizing power is reduced. The polymer film which can be used as the optical compensation film of the present invention is preferably a polymer thin film formed by using a polymer having a moisture permeability within a predetermined range. The polymer film constituting the optical compensation film of the present invention is a polymerization obtained by hydrogenating a ring-opening polymer of tetracyclic eleven *, or a ring-opening polymer of tetracyclododecene and orthodox blue. When the structure is formed, the moisture permeability will be significantly reduced, so it becomes a better protective film for polarizing plates. [Image display device] One embodiment of the image display device of the present invention is a two polarizing plate, a liquid crystal cell holding the two polarizing plates, and at least one holding the polarizing plate and the liquid crystal. The image display device of the optical compensation film of the present invention is preferably a liquid crystal display device, and more preferably a transmissive liquid crystal display device. The aforementioned polarizing plate is a polarizing plate composed of a polarizing film and two transparent protective films arranged on both sides thereof. The optical compensation film of the present invention may be disposed between the liquid crystal cell and one polarizing plate, or may be disposed between the liquid crystal cell and two polarizing plates. The aforementioned liquid crystal cell system holds liquid crystal between two electrode substrates. The optical compensation film of the present invention can be used in combination with liquid crystal in various modes; for example, it can be used in combination with TN mode and OC mode. 4.
