【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は光学フィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
直線偏光板を備えた光学フィルムは、その吸収軸方向に並行な振動面を有する直線偏光光を吸収し、該吸収軸に直交する方向(透過軸)に平行な振動面を有する直線偏光光を透過する機能を有した光学素子であり、例えば、液晶表示装置を構成する光学素子の一つとして広く用いられている。
【0003】
液晶表示装置において直線偏光板は2枚使用され、液晶セルの背面側と前面側とに配設される。背面側に配設される直線偏光板のさらに背面側には反射板や光源が配設される。
【0004】
背面側に配設される直線偏光板と反射板または光源との間に偏光分離板を配設することにより輝度を向上し得ることはよく知られている。かかる液晶表示装置では明るさを改善でき、例えば偏光分離板を備えていないものと明るさを同一に設定する場合は、バックライトを暗くできて節電できることから、近年では偏光分離板を備えた光学フィルムの需要が増加しつつある。
【0005】
偏光分離板とは、例えば自然光のような偏光解消された状態の光が入射すると、この光を二つの偏光光に分離して、一方の偏光光は透過し、他方の偏光光は反射する機能を有する光学部品であり、例えば屈折率の異なる2種のポリマーフィルムを交互に多数積層して形成したもので、一方向の直線偏光光を透過し、その直角方向の振動方向をもつ直線偏光光を反射させる性質を備えている偏光分離板が知られている。かかる偏光分離板の一例としては、ナフタレンジカルボン酸ポリエステルと他のポリマーとを共押出しして形成したものがある。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前述したように、前記偏光分離板は2種のフィルムを交互に多数積層して形成したもので、それらの多数のフィルムのうち隣合うフィルム同士の密着性については芳しくない。
【0007】
そのために、光学フィルムを所定の形状に切断するライン等において、トリミング工程、あるいはその他の各工程内においてパレット等の他物と衝突・接触して、フィルム角部に剥がれのきっかけが生じやすく、光学フィルムとしての出荷後に製品として使用するべく保護フィルムを剥離すると、偏光分離板における各フィルムの層の間で剥離が生じて、偏光分離板が保護フィルムと一緒に剥がれてしまうことがあった。
【0008】
本発明は上記実情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、フィルム角部から偏光分離板部分で層間剥離する不具合を抑制できて、歩留りをよくすることができる光学フィルムを提供する点にある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1による発明の構成・作用・効果は次の通りである。
【0010】
[構成]2種のフィルムを交互に多数積層して形成した偏光分離板と、保護フィルムと、を備えるとともに、フィルム角部を曲面取り処理してある。
【0011】
[作用]
上記の構成によれば、フィルム角部を曲面取り処理してあるので、フィルム角部を他物に衝突・接触させたときのフィルム角部に対する応力集中を軽減できて、偏光分離板の隣合う各フィルム層同士の剥離が生じにくくなる。このことは後述の実験結果からも裏付けられることを確認できた。
【0012】
〔効果〕
従って、フィルム角部から偏光分離板部分で層間剥離する不具合を抑制できて、歩留りをよくすることができる光学フィルムを提供することができた。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【0014】
図1,図2に光学フィルムAを示してある。
【0015】
この光学フィルムAは、PE(ポリエチレン)材による保護フィルム3・偏光分離板2・粘着剤層4・直線偏光板1、粘着剤層5、離型フィルム6をこの順で積層して構成して、フィルム角部を曲率半径Rが1mmの曲面取り処理してある。
【0016】
前記光学フィルムAは、1枚の積層フィルムからトムソン刃等の切断刃で、矩形状に切断してある(この切断のときに前記切断刃で前記曲面取り処理も行う)。
【0017】
次に、フィルム角部を曲面取り処理してない従来の光学フィルムと、曲面処理した本発明にかかる光学フィルムA(表中等で「本品」と称する)とにおける偏光分離板2での層間剥がれの評価の検査結果を記す。
【0018】
表中でRはフィルム角部の曲率半径であり、Lはフィルムの対角線の長さである。「奥行き」とは、フィルム角部の頂点からの剥離部分の長さである。
【0019】
−表1:光学フィルムの端部の剥がれ評価−
表1における良品率算出 (良品率=剥がれなし品/検査数)
10インチ (本品) 128/133 ≒ 96.2%
14インチ (従来品) 101/189 ≒ 53.4%
−表2:光学フィルムの端部の剥がれ評価−
表2における良品率算出 (良品率=剥がれなし品/検査数)
本品 104/110 ≒ 94.5%
従来品1 8/15 ≒ 53.3%
従来品2 11/15 ≒ 73.3%
従来品3 10/15 ≒ 66.7%
従来品では、良品率が53〜73%程度であるに対して、本発明にかかる光学フィルムでは、フィルム角部の曲率半径Rが1.0mm でも0.5mm でも、良品率が94〜96%であり、フィルム角部を曲率半径Rに曲面取り処理することで、フィルムの剥離を抑制できて、歩留りを良くすることを確認できた。
【0020】
加工のしやすさ、貼着対象物の角部の形状、剥離防止効果等の点を考慮すると、前記Rが0.5mm 〜1.0mm であればよりよい効果が得られ、R=0.7mm であるとさらによい効果が得られると考えられる。
【0021】
以上述べたように、フィルム角部を曲面取り処理することで、他物との衝突・接触に起因してフィルムの剥離のきっかけが生じることを抑制できて、保護フィルム3の剥離に伴って、偏光分離板2も剥離してしまうという不具合を抑制することができ、歩留りを改善することができた。
【0022】
[別実施形態]
前記光学フィルムAの角部を楕円面やその他の曲面状に曲面取り処理してもよい。
【0023】
前記光学フィルムAを所定形状に切り出した後に(上記実施形態の場合、矩形に切り出した後に)、フィルム角部を曲面取り処理しても良い。
【0024】
前記光学フィルムAは、保護フィルムと偏光分離板と直線偏光板と粘着剤層と剥離フィルムとをこの順で直接積層したものでも、隣合うもの同士の間にTACフィルム(トリアセチルセルロースフィルム)等の他のフィルム層を介在させて、間接的に積層したものでも良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an optical film.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An optical film including a linear polarizing plate absorbs linearly polarized light having a vibration surface parallel to the absorption axis direction, and absorbs linearly polarized light having a vibration surface parallel to a direction orthogonal to the absorption axis (transmission axis). An optical element having a transmitting function, for example, is widely used as one of optical elements constituting a liquid crystal display device.
[0003]
In the liquid crystal display device, two linearly polarizing plates are used and are arranged on the back side and the front side of the liquid crystal cell. A reflector and a light source are disposed on the back side of the linear polarizing plate disposed on the back side.
[0004]
It is well known that the luminance can be improved by arranging a polarization separation plate between the linearly polarizing plate arranged on the back side and the reflection plate or the light source. In such a liquid crystal display device, the brightness can be improved. For example, in the case where the brightness is set to be the same as that without the polarization separation plate, the backlight can be darkened to save power. Demand for film is increasing.
[0005]
A polarized light separator is a function that, when depolarized light such as natural light enters, for example, separates this light into two polarized light, and transmits one polarized light and reflects the other polarized light. For example, an optical component formed by alternately laminating two types of polymer films having different refractive indexes, and transmitting linearly polarized light in one direction and linearly polarized light having a vibration direction perpendicular thereto A polarization separation plate having a property of reflecting the light is known. An example of such a polarization separation plate is one formed by co-extrusion of naphthalene dicarboxylic acid polyester and another polymer.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the polarization separation plate is formed by alternately laminating two types of films, and the adhesion between adjacent films among the many films is not good.
[0007]
For this reason, in the line that cuts the optical film into a predetermined shape, etc., the film corners easily collide with and contact with other objects such as pallets in the trimming process or other processes, and the film corners are likely to be peeled off. When the protective film is peeled off for use as a product after shipment as a film, peeling occurs between the layers of each film in the polarizing separator, and the polarizing separator may be peeled off together with the protective film.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an optical film that can suppress the problem of delamination from the corner portion of the film at the polarizing separation plate portion and improve the yield. .
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The structure, operation, and effect of the invention according to
[0010]
[Configuration] A polarizing separation plate formed by alternately laminating two types of films and a protective film are provided, and the corners of the film are curved.
[0011]
[Action]
According to the above configuration, since the film corner is processed to be curved, the stress concentration on the film corner when the film corner collides with or contacts with another object can be reduced, and the polarizing separation plate is adjacent. Peeling between the film layers is less likely to occur. This was confirmed by the experimental results described later.
[0012]
〔effect〕
Accordingly, it is possible to provide an optical film that can suppress the problem of delamination from the corner of the film at the polarization separation plate portion and improve the yield.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
1 and 2 show the optical film A. FIG.
[0015]
This optical film A is formed by laminating a
[0016]
The optical film A is cut into a rectangular shape from a single laminated film with a cutting blade such as a Thomson blade (the curved surface removal process is also performed with the cutting blade at the time of cutting).
[0017]
Next, delamination between the

In the table, R is the radius of curvature of the corner of the film, and L is the length of the diagonal line of the film. “Depth” is the length of the peeled portion from the apex of the film corner.
[0019]
-Table 1: Evaluation of peeling of end of optical film-
Non-defective product rate calculation in Table 1 (good product rate = product without peeling / number of inspections)
10 inches (this product) 128/133 ≒ 96.2%
14 inches (conventional product) 101/189 ≒ 53.4%
-Table 2: Evaluation of peeling of end of optical film-
Non-defective product rate calculation in Table 2 (good product rate = product without peeling / number of inspections)
This product 104/110 ≒ 94.5%
In the conventional product, the non-defective product rate is about 53 to 73%, but in the optical film according to the present invention, the non-defective product rate is 94 to 96% regardless of the curvature radius R of the corner of the film is 1.0 mm or 0.5 mm. It was confirmed that the film corners were curved to have a radius of curvature R, so that peeling of the film could be suppressed and the yield was improved.
[0020]
Considering the ease of processing, the shape of the corner of the object to be adhered, the anti-peeling effect, etc., a better effect can be obtained if R is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm, and R = 0.7 mm. It is considered that a better effect can be obtained.
[0021]
As described above, by treating the curved corners of the film, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of film peeling due to collision / contact with other objects, and along with peeling of the
[0022]
[Another embodiment]
The corners of the optical film A may be processed to be curved into an elliptical surface or other curved surface.
[0023]
After cutting out the optical film A into a predetermined shape (in the case of the above embodiment, after cutting out into a rectangle), the corners of the film may be subjected to curved surface processing.
[0024]
The optical film A can be a TAC film (triacetyl cellulose film) or the like between adjacent ones even if the protective film, the polarizing separator, the linearly polarizing plate, the adhesive layer and the release film are directly laminated in this order. Other film layers may be interposed and laminated indirectly.
