[4] The present invention includes an organic-inorganic hybrid film containing a cellulose derivative and a metal oxide, a method for manufacturing the same, an optical film such as an optical retardation film, a polarizer protective film or an antireflection film, an optical film including an organic-inorganic hybrid film, and an optical film. It relates to a polarizing plate.
[5] Cellulose derivative films are used in optical films such as polarizing plate protective films, optical retardation films, or optical compensation films because of their excellent optical properties.
[6] In order to improve the processability or moisture permeability of the cellulose derivative membrane, additives such as plasticizers or UV absorbers may be added to the cellulose derivative membrane. However, this addition has the problem of lowering the dimensional stability and storage stability of the membrane due to bleeding-out or volatilization of the additive.
[7] In order to protect a polarizing film containing polyvinyl alcohol uniaxially stretched after dyeing with a two-color dye from light or moisture, a polarizing plate protective film is generally prepared by including triacetyl cellulose on both surfaces of the polarizing film. Liquid crystal displays including such polarizers are often used for outdoor navigation in car navigation systems or mobile phones, and their durability is required in various environments. However, in the conventional polarizing plate, the polarizing plate protective film changes with time, and there is a problem in that light is transmitted to the edge of the polarizing plate to cause whitening of the edge.
[8] Improvements in dimensional stability are also required for other optical films using cellulose derivative films. For example, the dimensional stability of the optical retardation film is required in view of the stability of the optical properties. Recently, as high resolution images and color image reproducibility are required for displays of notebook type personal computers or cellular phones, there is a need for a high performance optical film having antireflection characteristics or antistatic characteristics. Such optical films have been developed by including functional layers, such as metal oxide layers, directly or on other layers on a high transmittance cellulose derivative substrate. However, such an optical film still has a problem in that the optical properties are degraded due to the dimensional change of the substrate.
[9] The optical film of this invention is a functional film used for various displays, such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, an organic electroluminescent display, a field emission display, and an electronic paper display. Examples of the optical film include a protective film for a polarizing plate, an optical retardation film, a reflecting plate, a viewing angle increasing film, an optical compensation film, an antiglare film, an antireflection film, an illuminance increasing film, a color correction film, a color separation film, a UV or IR absorbing film, an antistatic film, and a conductive film. Act.
[10] It is an object of the present invention to provide an organic-inorganic hybrid membrane having a low moisture permeability and an improved dimensional stability and a method for producing the same. Another object of the present invention is to provide an optical film including an optical retardation film, a polarizing plate protective film or an antireflection film, an optical film including an organic-inorganic hybrid film, and a manufacturing method thereof. It is still another object of the present invention to provide an optical retardation film having a reduced phase difference change, and to provide a polarizing plate having excellent durability and an antireflection film having excellent durability.

It refers to a method of preparing a substance having all the properties of a compound. Organic polymers and inorganic compounds are generally not miscible with each other, and it is difficult to obtain useful materials by simply mixing them. Recently, methods for preparing inorganic compounds in liquids such as metal alkoxides have been developed to prepare mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds having a size on the order of nanometers below the visible wavelength (about 750 nm or less) in solution processing. It became possible. This makes it possible to obtain optically transparent and useful materials.

The spacing between frequencies varies with the magnetic field strength applied, and the abscissa generally represents the ratio of the difference in resonance frequency between the sample and the standard sample TMS to the frequency of the measuring device used, in ppm. This is shown in Figures 1a and 1b.

It is preferable to observe the condensation reaction of the reactive metal compound in accordance with NMR.
[113] <Solvent>
[114] The cellulose derivative and the condensable reactive metal compound of the present invention are dissolved in a solvent to obtain a doping liquid. The solvent is preferably volatile since it must be volatilized after casting or extruding the dope on the support to form a film on the support. In addition, the solvent is a solvent that does not react with the metal compound or catalyst used and does not dissolve on the support on which the doping liquid containing the solvent is cast or extruded. The solvent can be used as a mixture of two or more solvents. The organic polymer of the present invention and the reactive metal compound of the present invention may be dissolved separately in different solvents and then the resulting solution may be mixed.

Organic solvents containing small amounts of alcohol increase the solubility of cellulose derivatives in organic solvents that do not contain chlorine atoms, prevent gelation or separation of reactive metal compounds, or prevent increased viscosity of the dope.
[118] Alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol and propylene glycol monomethyl ether. Among these alcohol solvents, alcohols which are less harmful, have good doping liquid stability, relatively low boiling point and good drying characteristics are preferred. These alcohol solvents are poor solvents because they alone cannot dissolve cellulose derivatives.

When neutralizing the reaction mixture with a base, the alkali metal content of the resulting mixture is preferably 0 to 5,000 ppm based on the total solids content of the mixture. The catalyst can be used with Lewis acids, such as acetic acid, other organic acids or phosphoric acid with salts of metals such as germanium, titanium, aluminum, antimony or tin, or halides of these metals.
[123] As a catalyst, a base may be used instead of an acid catalyst. Examples of the base include amines such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diethylamine, triethylamine and the like; Bicyclic amines such as DBU (diazabicycloundecene-1), DBN (diazabicyclononene) and the like; ammonia; Phosphine; Alkali metal alkoxides; Ammonium hydroxide; Tetramethylammonium hydroxide; And benzyl trimethylammonium hydroxide.

Among these matting agents, compounds containing silicon, in particular silicon dioxide, are preferred because of their low turbidity and reduced misting of the membrane.
[170] Particles, such as silicon dioxide particles, are often present on surfaces treated with organic compounds, and these surface treated particles are preferred because they reduce haze in the film. Examples of the organic compound used for the surface treatment include halogenated silanes, alkoxysilanes, silazanes and siloxanes.
[171] Silicon dioxide particles can be produced, for example, by burning a mixture of hydrogen and gaseous silicon tetrachloride at 1,000 to 1,200 ° C. in air.
[172] The silicon dioxide particles preferably have an average particle diameter of 20 nm or less and an apparent specific gravity of 70 g / L (liter) or more. The average particle diameter of the primary particles is more preferably 5 to 16 nm, most preferably 5 to 12 nm.

The apparent specific gravity of the particles is more preferably 90 to 200 g / L, most preferably 100 to 200 g / L. The use of particles with a higher apparent specific gravity is preferred because it produces a high concentration of dispersion, improves haze, and does not generate aggregates.

[176] Inorganic compound particles added with a matting agent provide good sliding properties and can block blocking. However, excess inorganic compound particles significantly increase agglomeration or haze. The effect of the present invention obtained by adding the polycondensate in the present invention cannot be obtained by the addition of such inorganic compound particles.
[177] The average primary particle size of the particles of the present invention is measured using a transmission electron microscope. That is, the size of primary particles of 100 particles is observed through a transmission electron microscope having a magnification of 50,000 to 400,000, and the average value thereof is determined as the average primary particle size.
[178] The apparent specific gravity mentioned in the present invention is calculated from the following equation.
[179] Apparent specific gravity (g / L) = mass of silicon dioxide particles (g) / silicon dioxide particle volume (L)
[180] In the formula, the volume of the silicon dioxide particles is the volume measured using the measuring cylinder using a specific amount of the silicon dioxide particles, and the mass of the silicon dioxide particles is the weight of the silicon dioxide particles put in the measuring cylinder.
[181] <Film manufacturing>
[182] Next, the preferable method of manufacturing an organic-inorganic hybrid film is demonstrated.
[183] The organic-inorganic hybrid film can be prepared according to the solution casting film production method.
[184] 1) dissolution step
[185] The preparation method of the dope liquid containing a cellulose derivative is demonstrated.
[186] The dissolving step may be performed by dissolving a cellulose derivative, a polymer, or an additive with stirring in an organic solvent including a good solvent for a cellulose derivative (flake form) as a main component, to prepare a doping liquid, or polymer in a cellulose derivative solution. A step of preparing a doping liquid by adding a solution or an additive solution.
[187] To dissolve the cellulose derivative, a method of dissolving at atmospheric pressure, a method of dissolving at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the main component solvent, a method of dissolving with increasing pressure at a temperature higher than the boiling point of the main component solvent, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-95544 And the cooling dissolution method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 9-95557 and 9-95538, and the method of dissolving at high pressure disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-21379. Particularly preferred is a method of dissolving with increasing pressure at temperatures above the boiling point of the main component solvent.
[188] The cellulose derivative concentration of the dope is preferably 10 to 35% by weight. The resulting dope is filtered using filter material, then defoamed and then pumped to the next step.
[189] Next, a method for producing a doping liquid containing a polycondensable reactive metal compound will be described. When the polycondensable reactive metal compound is added to the cellulose derivative dope, the cellulose is added to the dope by adding a 10 to 50% polycondensable reactive metal compound solution in which the polycondensable reactive metal compound is dissolved in the main component solvent of the dope. It is preferred not to precipitate the derivatives. For the same reason, the cellulose derivative doping liquid may be further diluted with the main component solvent to bring the cellulose derivative doping liquid to 10% by weight or less.
[190] When a catalyst or water is added to a polycondensable reactive metal compound solution, the solution is polycondensable by containing an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol or methylcellosolve in an amount of up to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the solvent. It may be miscible with the reactive metal compound.
[191] Some or all of the additives, such as plasticizers or UV absorbers, may be added to the subsequent dope. All materials are dissolved in a solvent and the resulting dope is filtered using filter material, followed by defoaming and then pumping to the next step.
[192] The mixing of the cellulose derivative doping liquid and the polycondensable reactive metal compound doping liquid will be described below.
[193] It is preferable that the cellulose derivative dope liquid and the polycondensable reactive metal compound dope liquid prepared separately are filtered and then mixed. The mixing method is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to add the polycondensable reactive metal compound dope liquid little by little while slowly stirring the cellulose derivative dope liquid. The two doping liquids are mixed thoroughly and the resulting doping liquid is filtered using a filter material, and then defoamed to obtain the final doping liquid, which is then pumped to the next step.
[194] 2) casting step
[195] The casting step carries the doping liquid through a pump (e.g. a pressurized metering gear pump) to the press die and pressurizes it to the casting position of a metal support such as a moving seamless metal belt or a rotating metal drum such as a stainless steel belt. Casting a doping liquid from the die. It is preferable that the press die has a regular slit form of the inlet portion and that the thickness of the layer can be easily and uniformly adjusted. The surface of the metal support for casting is a mirror surface. In order to increase the casting speed, two press dies may be provided on the metal support, and two or more divided doping liquids may be cast simultaneously on the metal support. It is preferable that a plurality of doping liquids are cast simultaneously according to the co-casting method to obtain an organic-inorganic hybrid film having a laminated structure.
[196] 3) solvent evaporation step
[197] The solvent evaporation step is the step of heating the web on the metal support and evaporating the solvent until the web can be peeled off the metal support. Methods for evaporating the solvent include blowing air from the web side, and / or heating the opposite surface of the support with a liquid and heating the surface as well as the opposite surface using heat radiation. Can be. Among these, the counter surface liquid heating method is preferable because of its high drying efficiency. It is also preferable to combine these methods. The opposite surface liquid heating method is preferably heated to a temperature below the boiling point of the main component solvent or the solvent having the lowest boiling point among the solvents used.
[198] 4) Peeling Step
[199] The peeling step is a step in which the web for evaporating the solvent on the support is peeled off at the peeling site. The peeled web is carried to the next step. If the residual amount of solvent (referred to in the formula below) is too excessive, it may be difficult to peel off the web. In contrast, when the web is sufficiently dried on the support and then peeled off, a part of the web may be peeled off before the peeling portion is removed.
[200] As a method for increasing the film formation speed, mention is made of the gel casting method (which can be stripped despite the relatively large amount of solvent). Gel casting methods include a method in which a poor solvent for cellulose ester is added to a dope solution, gelled after casting the dope solution, and also gelled by reducing the temperature of the metal support. By reinforcing the web through the gelation of the dope on the metal support, it can be peeled off early and the casting speed can be increased.
[201] The web on the metal support is preferably peeled off when the residual amount of solvent is in the range of 5 to 150% by weight depending on the dry state or the length of the metal support. If the web is peeled off when the residual amount of solvent is more than that, the peeled web is too soft, easily loses flatness, and streaks or wrinkles may occur due to the peeling tension applied. The residual amount of solvent in the web when peeled determines significant economic reasons and quality. In the present invention, at the peeling position on the metal support, the temperature of the web is -50 to 40 ° C, preferably 10 to 40 ° C, more preferably 15 to 35 ° C. At the peeling position on the metal support, the residual amount of the solvent of the web is preferably 10 to 150% by weight, more preferably 10 to 120% by weight.
[202] In the present invention, the residual amount of the solvent is represented by the following equation.
[203] Residual amount (% by weight) of solvent in web = {(M-N) / N} × 100
[204] In the formula,
[205] M represents the weight of the web to be measured, and N represents the weight of the web after the web to be measured is dried at 110 ° C. for 3 hours.
[206] 5) drying step and stretching step
[207] Peeled webs typically use a drying device that alternately passes the web through a staggered roller and / or a tenter device that conveys the web using clips to clamp both edges of the web. It is dried in a drying step of drying.
[208] In this invention, it is preferable to use a tenter apparatus as a means of extending | stretching the web peeled in the transverse direction between clips by expanding 1.0-2.0. It is more preferable to use a tenter device capable of stretching the web in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The draw ratio is determined in accordance with the desired optical properties (eg R ₀ or R _t ). An optical retardation film can also be manufactured by uniaxially stretching a web in the longitudinal direction.
[209] Surprisingly, it has been found that R ₀ and R _t per unit thickness of the membrane can be increased by adding the polycondensates of the invention to the cellulose derivative.

[514] The saponified film samples obtained above were used as the polarizing plate protective film, and polarizing plate samples 201 to 227 were prepared according to the following procedure as shown in Table 2.
[515] <Production of Polarizing Film>
[516] A long polyvinyl alcohol film of 120 μm in thickness was uniaxially stretched (5 times at 110 ° C.). The resulting membrane was impregnated for 60 seconds in an aqueous solution containing 0.08 g of iodine, 5 g of potassium iodide, 100 g of water, further impregnated at 68 ° C. in an aqueous solution containing 6 g of potassium iodide, 7.5 g of boric acid and 100 g of water. Washed with water and dried. This obtained the long polarizing film.
[517] <Production of Polarizing Plate>
[518] The saponified film samples as the polarizing film and polarizing plate protective film obtained above were laminated according to the following procedures 1 to 5 to obtain a polarizing plate sample.
[519] Procedure 1: The membrane sample obtained above was saponified in the same manner as above to obtain a polarizer protective film.
[520] Procedure 2: The long polarizing film obtained above was impregnated with a polyvinyl alcohol adhesive (including 2% by weight of solid content) for 1 to 2 seconds to form an adhesive layer.
[521] Procedure 3: Excessive adhesive of the adhesive layer on the polarizing film prepared in Procedure 2 was gently removed. The produced polarizing film was inserted between two polarizing plate protective films so that the polarizing film could face the saponified surface of the polarizing plate protective film. This obtained the laminated body.
[522] Procedure 4: The laminate was passed between two rotating rollers at a pressure of 20-30 N / cm 2, at a speed of about 2 m / min. In this process, care was taken not to introduce air into the laminate and to foam.
[523] Procedure 5: The laminate obtained in procedure 4 was dried in a dryer for 2 minutes at 80 ° C. As a result, as shown in Table 2, polarizing plate samples 201 to 215 were manufactured.
[524] <Durability of polarizing plate sample>
[525] Each polarizing plate sample was cut into two polarizing plate samples having a size of 100 mm × 100 mm and heat treated at 90 ° C. for 100 hours. Subsequently, one plate was laminated on the other plate so as to be arranged in the crosslinked Nicol state so that two adjacent side surfaces of one plate coincided with the other plate to obtain a polarizing plate laminate. The edge of the resulting polarizing plate laminate had one plate longer in length than the other plate, and the edge of the long portion turned white. The length of the edge was measured along the centerline of the plate, and the durability of the polarizing plate sample was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.
[526] The expression “turned white” refers to a phenomenon in which white edges of longer length plates transmit light in the polarizer stack in which the two polarizers are arranged in a crosslinked Nicol state (hereinafter also referred to as whitening). it means. This whitening phenomenon can be easily judged by visual observation. In polarizers, this phenomenon is problematic for visualization in that an image may not be observed at the corners.
[527] A: The length of a corner is less than 5%, and there is no problem in a polarizing plate.
[528] B: The length of a corner is 5%-less than 10%, and there is no problem in a polarizing plate.
[529] C: The length of one corner is 10% to less than 20% and is low enough to be actually used.
[530] D: The length of the edge which turned white is 20 to less than 50%.
[531] E: The length of one corner is 50% or more, and there is a problem in the polarizing plate.
[532]
[533]
[534]
[535] In Table 2, the content (weight) of the polycondensate was expressed with respect to the oxide content of the metal contained in the polycondensate based on the cellulose derivative, and the content (weight) of the additive was based on the cellulose derivative.
[536] The polarizing plate samples 201 to 211, 216 to 220, 223, 225 and 226 of the present invention used as the polarizing plate protective film, and the organic-inorganic hybrid film samples 101 to 111, 216 to 220, 223, 225 and 226 of the present invention were respectively subjected to high temperature heat treatment. Afterwards it has been proven to provide excellent durability without whitening. This is considered to be due to the fact that the polarization axis of the polarizing plate sample is stabilized with excellent dimensional stability of the film sample of the present invention.

Membrane samples 301 to 303 and membrane samples 307 to 309 of the present invention are preferred because the required _Ro and R _t can be obtained with smaller film thicknesses and smaller draw ratios.
[549] However, the film samples 307 to 309 containing no plasticizer was indicated that a significant change retardation R _o and R _t after high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. Therefore, the membrane samples 301 to 303 of the present invention are more preferable.

[577] The atmospheric pressure plasma treatment was carried out continuously, and the tin oxide layer (refractive index 1.7, thickness 6.7 nm), the titanium oxide layer (refractive index 2.14, thickness 110 nm), the silicon oxide layer (refractive index 1.44, thickness 87 nm) and the antifouling layer (thickness) 40 nm) was in turn made on the anti-glare layer of the membrane sample. Thus, antireflection film samples 401 to 427 were prepared.
[578] The following evaluation was performed about antireflection film samples 401-427.
[579] Reflectance
[580] To obtain the spectral reflectance of the resulting layer, the back surface was roughened to prevent reflection of light from the back surface of the film sample opposite the antireflective layer, and a light absorbing treatment was performed using a black spray to form a light absorbing layer. The reflectance of the film produced at a wavelength of 450 nm to 650 nm was measured under the condition of 5 ° regular reflection using a spectrometer TYPE 1U-4000 (manufactured by Hitachi Seisakusho Co., Ltd.), and the average reflectance was determined from the measurement results.
[581] <Crack>
[582] The antireflective sample was stored at 12 ± 2 ° C. and 55 ± 5% RH for 12 hours and then further stored at 80 ± 3 ° C. and 90 ± 2% RH for 12 hours to process the antireflective sample. This process was repeated 10 times. Thereafter, samples were finally stored at 23 ± 2 ° C. and 55 ± 5% RH for 12 hours. The surface of the resulting sample was then observed through an optical microscope and evaluated according to the following criteria.
[583] A: No crack observed
[584] B: Some small cracks observed
[585] C: Small cracks observed over the entire surface of the sample
[586] D: Countless small cracks are observed over the entire surface of the sample
[587] In the above, grades C and D are not practically available.
[588]
[589]
[590]
[591] In Table 4, the content (weight) of the polycondensate was expressed with respect to the oxide content of the metal contained in the polycondensate based on the cellulose derivative, and the content (weight) of the additive was based on the cellulose derivative.
[592] Obviously from Table 4 above, the atmospheric pressure plasma discharge treatment provided a low reflectance to the antireflective film samples, while numerous small cracks were observed in the comparative antireflective film samples 412 to 415, 421, 422, 424 and 427, but the antireflective film of the present invention was It was not observed in samples 401-411, 416-420, 423, 424 and 426. The antireflection film samples 401 to 411 of the present invention were good antireflection films.
[593] The present invention provides an organic-inorganic hybrid film having low moisture permeability, high dimensional stability, and high retardation stability.
[594] By using the organic-inorganic hybrid film of the present invention, it is possible to provide a polarizing plate having excellent durability, an optical retardation film having a large retardation per unit thickness, and an antireflection film that does not cause cracking.
