Description

편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법 Method of manufacturing single-sided thin polarizing plate
본 발명은 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for producing a single-sided thin polarizing plate.
편광판은 자연광 또는 임의의 편광을 특정 방향의 편광으로 만들기 위한 광학 소자로, 액정표시소자, 유기발광소자(OLED)와 같은 디스플레이 장치에 널리 이용되고 있다. 현재 상기 디스플레이 장치에 사용되는 편광판은 통상 이색성 염료 또는 요오드로 염색된 폴리비닐알코올(Polyvinyl alcohol, 이하 'PVA'라 함)계 수지로 이루어진 편광자의 양면에 보호 필름을 적층한 구조로 사용되어 왔다.Polarizers are optical elements for making natural light or arbitrary polarization into polarized light in a specific direction, and are widely used in display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Currently, the polarizing plate used in the display device has been used as a structure in which a protective film is laminated on both sides of a polarizer made of a polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter referred to as 'PVA') resin, which is usually dyed with a dichroic dye or iodine. .
그러나, 최근 디스플레이 장치들의 박형화 경향에 따라 편광판 역시 보다 얇은 두께를 가질 것이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라, 편광자의 한쪽 면에만 보호 필름을 부착하는 편면형 편광판을 제조하는 기술 또는 편광자인 폴리비닐알코올계 필름(PolyVinyl Alcohol, 이하 PVA라 함)의 두께를 50㎛ 이하로 얇게 형성하는 기술 등이 제안되고 있다. However, according to the recent trend of thinning of display devices, the polarizer also needs to have a thinner thickness. Accordingly, a technique of manufacturing a single-sided polarizing plate which attaches a protective film only to one surface of the polarizer, or a technique of forming a thin film of polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter referred to as PVA) as a polarizer thinly to 50 μm or less It is proposed.
그러나, PVA의 한쪽 면에 보호 필름을 공급하고, 그 사이에 접착제 조성물을 도포한 후 가압 롤을 이용하여 가압하는 방법으로 제조되는 종래의 편면형 편광판의 제조방법은 제조시 어려움이 있었다. 왜냐하면, 접착제 조성물을 도포하는 과정에서, 접착제 조성물이 도포된 폭이 편광자의 폭 보다 좁은 경우에는 편광자에 미접착면이 발생하고, 이러한 미접착면을 갖는 PVA계 필름이 후가공 진행시 박리되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 이를 방지하기 위해, 접착제 조성물을 편광자의 폭 보다 넓게 도포하는 경우에는 가압 과정에서 편광자보다 넓게 도포된 접착제가 가압 롤을 오염시키는 등의 문제점이 발생하기 때문이다. However, the manufacturing method of the conventional single-sided polarizing plate manufactured by the method of supplying a protective film to one side of PVA, apply | coating an adhesive composition in between, and pressurizing using a pressure roll, had difficulty in manufacturing. Because, in the process of applying the adhesive composition, when the width to which the adhesive composition is applied is narrower than the width of the polarizer, a non-adhesive surface is generated on the polarizer, the PVA-based film having such an unbonded surface is peeled off during the post-processing process have. Therefore, in order to prevent this, when the adhesive composition is applied wider than the width of the polarizer, a problem such that the adhesive applied to the wider than the polarizer contaminates the pressure roll in the pressing process occurs.
한편, 박형화의 관점에서 볼 때, 얇은 두께의 PVA계 필름을 이용하여 편면형 편광판을 제조하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 하지만, 연신으로 인해 TD 방향으로 낮은 강성을 갖는 50㎛ 이하의 얇은 PVA계 필름에 종래의 편면형 편광판 제조방법을 그대로 적용할 경우, PVA계 필름의 양면에 적용되는 모듈러스 차이에 의해 쉽게 파단이 발생한다는 문제점이 있다. On the other hand, it is most preferable to manufacture a single-sided polarizing plate using a thin PVA film from a thinning viewpoint. However, when the conventional single-sided polarizing plate manufacturing method is applied to a thin PVA film having a low stiffness in the TD direction due to stretching, as it is, the breakage occurs easily due to the modulus difference applied to both sides of the PVA film. There is a problem.
따라서, 편면형 편광판을 제조하는 과정에서 두께 50㎛ 이하의 박형 편광자를 사용할 수 있고, 접착제 조성물이 도포되는 폭이 편광자의 폭보다 다소 넓더라도 제조 공정에서 오염이 발생하는 것을 쉽고 간단하게 예방할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. Therefore, a thin polarizer having a thickness of 50 μm or less may be used in the process of manufacturing the single-sided polarizing plate, and even if the width of the adhesive composition is slightly wider than the width of the polarizer, contamination may be easily and simply prevented from occurring in the manufacturing process. Development of technology is required.

보다 구체적으로는, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법은, 두께가 50㎛ 이하인 편광자의 일면에 공정용 필름을 공급하는 단계; 상기 편광자의 타면에 보호 필름을 공급하는 단계; 상기 편광자 및 보호 필름 사이에 접착제 조성물을 공급하여 접착제층을 형성하는 단계; 상기 공정용 필름 및 보호 필름의 각 표면에 한 쌍의 가압 수단을 배치하여, 상기 공정용 필름/상기 편광자/상기 보호 필름의 적층체를 가압하는 단계; 및 상기 공정용 필름을 박리하는 단계를 포함하고, 상기 편광자 및 공정용 필름 간의 박리력이 1.0N 이하인 것을 특징으로 한다. More specifically, the manufacturing method of the single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention comprises the steps of: supplying a process film to one surface of a polarizer having a thickness of 50 μm or less; Supplying a protective film to the other surface of the polarizer; Supplying an adhesive composition between the polarizer and the protective film to form an adhesive layer; Arranging a pair of pressing means on each surface of the process film and the protective film to press the laminate of the process film / polarizer / protective film; And peeling the process film, wherein the peel force between the polarizer and the process film is 1.0 N or less.
즉, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광자의 제조방법은 필름 공급 공정, 가압 공정 및 박리 공정을 포함할 수 있다. 이하, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법의 일 실시 형태를 도 1을 참조하여 설명하기로 한다. 도 1은 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판을 제조하는 방법을 나타낸 단면 모식도이다. That is, the manufacturing method of the single-sided thin polarizer according to the present invention may include a film supply process, a pressing process and a peeling process. Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention.
본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광자의 제조방법에 있어서, 상기 필름 공급 공정은, 두께가 50㎛ 이하인 편광자의 일면에 공정용 필름을 공급하는 단계 및 상기 편광자의 타면에 보호 필름을 공급하는 단계를 포함한다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 도 1에 나타낸 바와 같이, 두께가 50㎛ 이하인 폴리비닐알코올계 수지 필름으로 이루어지는 편광자(100)의 일면에 공정용 필름(200)을 공급함과 동시에, 상기 편광자의 타면에 보호 필름(300)을 공급하는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. In the method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizer according to the present invention, the film supplying process includes supplying a process film to one surface of the polarizer having a thickness of 50 μm or less and supplying a protective film to the other surface of the polarizer. do. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the process film 200 is supplied to one surface of the polarizer 100 made of a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film having a thickness of 50 μm or less, and at the same time, It may be performed by a method of supplying the protective film 300.
여기서, 상기 편광자(100), 공정용 필름(200) 및 보호 필름(300)을 공급하는 방법은 당해 기술분야에 잘 알려진 방법을 이용하여 수행될 수 있다. 예를 들면, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 편광자(100), 공정용 필름(200) 및 보호 필름(300)은 각각의 필름이 롤(110, 210, 310)에 감겨진 형태로 공급될 수 있으나, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다. Here, the method of supplying the polarizer 100, the process film 200, and the protective film 300 may be performed using a method well known in the art. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the polarizer 100, the process film 200, and the protective film 300 may be supplied in a form in which each film is wound on the rolls 110, 210, and 310. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
특히, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판 제조방법에 있어서, 상기와 같이 공정용 필름(200)을 사용하는 경우, 가압 수단에 의해 가해지는 압력을 공정용 필름(200)이 흡수하여 편광자에 작용되는 응력이 완화되어 파단을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. In particular, in the method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention, when the process film 200 is used as described above, the process film 200 absorbs the pressure applied by the pressing means and acts on the polarizer. There is an advantage that the stress can be reduced to effectively reduce the breakage.
또한, 상기한 바와 같이, 종래에는 편광자의 상면에 바로 가압 수단이 위치하였기 때문에, 가압 과정에서 접착제가 가압 수단, 즉 롤을 오염시키는 문제점이 있었다. 그러나, 본 발명에 따른 박형 편광판의 제조방법에서는 편광자 상부에 공정용 필름(200)이 존재하기 때문에, 보호 필름(300)과 편광자(100) 접착 시에 사용되는 접착제로 인한 가압 수단의 오염이 상대적으로 적다는 장점이 있다. In addition, as described above, since the pressing means is located directly on the upper surface of the polarizer, there is a problem that the adhesive contaminates the pressing means, that is, the roll in the pressing process. However, in the manufacturing method of the thin polarizing plate according to the present invention, since the process film 200 exists on the upper part of the polarizer, the contamination of the pressing means due to the adhesive used when the protective film 300 is adhered to the polarizer 100 is relative. It has the advantage of being less.
한편, 상기 각 필름의 공급 속도는 제조 공정에 적절한 값으로 정하여 공급하면 되고, 특별히 한정되는 것은 아니지만, 예를 들면 3M/min 내지 50M/min의 속도로 공급되는 것이 안정적인 접착이 이루어진다는 점에서 유리하다. On the other hand, the feed rate of each of the films may be determined and supplied at an appropriate value for the manufacturing process, and is not particularly limited. Do.
*또한, 상기 편광자(100), 공정용 필름(200) 및 보호 필름(300)의 공급 방향은, 도 1에 나타낸 바와 같이, 사선 방향으로 공급할 수도 있으나 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다. 따라서, 수직으로 공급되거나 평행하게 공급되는 부분이 있어도 된다. In addition, the supply direction of the polarizer 100, the process film 200, and the protective film 300 may be supplied in an oblique direction as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, there may be a portion that is supplied vertically or in parallel.
여기서, 상기 편광자(100)는 그 두께가 50㎛ 이하인 것을 이용할 수 있으며, 상기 편광자의 두께는 연신 후 두께를 의미한다. 즉, 본 발명에서 상기 편광자는 연신 후 두께가 50㎛ 이하인 것이 바람직하고, 4㎛ 내지 30㎛ 또는 4㎛ 내지 25㎛인 것이 보다 바람직하다. 연신 후 편광자의 두께가 상기 수치범위를 만족하는 경우 보다 얇은 두께의 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조가 용이하기 때문이다. Here, the polarizer 100 may use a thickness of 50㎛ or less, the thickness of the polarizer means the thickness after stretching. That is, in the present invention, the polarizer preferably has a thickness of 50 µm or less after stretching, more preferably 4 µm to 30 µm or 4 µm to 25 µm. This is because, when the thickness of the polarizer after stretching satisfies the numerical range, the thinner single-sided thin polarizing plate can be easily manufactured.
한편, 상기 편광자(100)로는 일반적으로 요오드계 화합물 또는 이색성 염료를 함유하는 분자 사슬이 일정한 방향으로 배향된 폴리비닐알코올계 수지 필름이 사용된다. 이러한 편광자(100)는 폴리비닐알코올계 수지 필름에 요오드 또는 이색성 염료를 염착시킨 후, 일정한 방향으로 연신하고 가교시키는 방법에 의해 제조될 수 있다. 이때 상기 연신 공정은 붕산 수용액 또는 요오드 수용액과 같은 용액 상에서 수행되는 습식 연신 또는 대기 중에서 수행되는 건식 연신 등으로 수행될 수 있고, 연신 배율은 4배 이상, 보다 구체적으로는 4배 내지 15배 또는 4배 내지 13배인 것이 바람직하며, 연신 방향은 폴리비닐알코올계 수지 필름의 길이 방향 (Machine Direction, MD 방향)으로 수행되는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 상기 폴리비닐알코올의 중합도는, 특별히 한정되지는 않으나, 분자 움직임의 자유로움과 함유 물질과의 유연한 혼합을 고려할 때 1,000 내지 10,000정도인 것이 바람직하고, 더욱 바람직하게는 1,500 내지 5,000 정도인 것이 좋다. 본 발명에서, 상기 편광자(100)는 시판품을 이용할 수도 있으며, 예를 들면 Kuraray사 또는 일본합성사 등의 제품이 사용될 수 있다. On the other hand, as the polarizer 100, a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film in which molecular chains containing an iodine compound or a dichroic dye is oriented in a predetermined direction is generally used. The polarizer 100 may be prepared by dyeing an iodine or a dichroic dye in a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, and then stretching and crosslinking in a predetermined direction. In this case, the stretching process may be performed by wet stretching performed on a solution such as aqueous boric acid solution or iodine solution, or dry stretching performed in the air, and the stretching ratio is 4 times or more, more specifically 4 to 15 times or 4 times. It is preferable that it is 10 times to 13 times, and the stretching direction is preferably performed in the longitudinal direction (Machine Direction, MD direction) of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film. In addition, the degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol is not particularly limited, but considering the freedom of molecular movement and flexible mixing with the containing material, the polymerization degree is preferably about 1,000 to 10,000, more preferably about 1,500 to 5,000. good. In the present invention, the polarizer 100 may use a commercially available product, for example, products such as Kuraray Co. or Japan Synthetic Co. may be used.
또한, 본 발명에서 상기 공정용 필름(200)으로 사용할 수 있는 필름은 편광자(100) 및 공정용 필름(200) 간의 박리력이 1.0N 이하인 것이면 특별히 한정되지 않는다. 통상적으로 편광자와 기재 간의 접착력이 1.01N 내지 4N정도의 수준이기 때문에, 편광자 및 공정용 필름 간의 박리력이 1.0N 을 초과하는 경우에는 후술할 박리 공정에서 공정용 필름이 잘 박리되지 않거나 편광자를 손상시킬 수 있는 문제점이 있다. In addition, the film which can be used as the said process film 200 in this invention will not be specifically limited if the peeling force between the polarizer 100 and the process film 200 is 1.0N or less. Usually, since the adhesive force between the polarizer and the substrate is at a level of about 1.01N to 4N, when the peeling force between the polarizer and the process film exceeds 1.0N, the process film does not peel well or damages the polarizer in the peeling process described later. There is a problem that can be done.
본 명세서에서 편광자 및 공정용 필름 간의 박리력은 폭 20mm, 길이 100mm의 편면형 편광판을 이용하여, 300m/min 속도로 90° 박리하는 방법으로 측정한 값을 의미한다. 이때, 박리되는 면은 공정용 필름과 PVA계 필름 사이의 계면 또는 공정용 필름과 접착제층 사이의 계면일 수 있다. In this specification, the peel force between a polarizer and a process film means the value measured by the method of peeling 90 degrees at 300 m / min speed using the single-sided polarizing plate of width 20mm and length 100mm. In this case, the surface to be peeled off may be an interface between the process film and the PVA-based film or an interface between the process film and the adhesive layer.
한편, 상기 공정용 필름(200)의 구체적인 예를 들면, 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트 필름, 폴리에틸렌 필름, 폴리카보네이트 필름, 트리아세틸셀룰로오스 필름, 싸이클로올레핀 폴리머 필름 및 아크릴 필름으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상일 수 있으나 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다. 이때, 공정용 필름(200)으로 아크릴 필름과 같이 PVA계 필름과의 접착력이 높은 기재를 사용하는 경우에는 상기 편광자(100)와 공정용 필름(200)간의 박리력 조건을 만족시키기 위하여 별도의 표면 처리가 수행될 수 있다. Meanwhile, specific examples of the process film 200 may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate film, polyethylene film, polycarbonate film, triacetylcellulose film, cycloolefin polymer film, and acrylic film. It is not limited. In this case, in the case of using a substrate having a high adhesive strength with a PVA-based film such as an acrylic film as the process film 200, a separate surface in order to satisfy the peel force condition between the polarizer 100 and the process film 200. Processing can be performed.
상기 표면 처리는 당해 기술분야에 잘 알려진 방법으로 수행될 수 있으나, 예를 들면 실리콘 코팅 등의 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. The surface treatment may be performed by a method well known in the art, for example, may be performed by a method such as silicone coating.
한편, 상기 공정용 필름(200)의 두께는 특별히 한정되는 것은 아니나, 예를 들면 20 ㎛ 내지 100㎛ 또는 25㎛ 내지 75㎛두께를 갖는 것이 주행 안정성 측면에서 바람직하다. 공정용 필름의 두께가 상기 수치범위를 만족하는 경우에는 자외선 경화시 발생되는 열로 인해 필름이 팽창 및/또는 수축되어 주름이 발생하는 것을 방지할 수 있고, 자외선 경화시 자외선이 접착제층에 잘 도달되어 미경화 부분이 발생하는 문제를 해결할 수 있는 장점이 있다.On the other hand, the thickness of the process film 200 is not particularly limited, but, for example, having a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm or 25 μm to 75 μm is preferable in terms of running stability. When the thickness of the process film satisfies the above numerical range, the film may expand and / or shrink due to heat generated during ultraviolet curing to prevent wrinkles, and ultraviolet rays may well reach the adhesive layer during ultraviolet curing. There is an advantage that can solve the problem of the uncured portion.
나아가, 본 발명에 있어서, 상기 공정용 필름(200)의 폭은 편광자(100)의 폭보다 큰 것이 바람직하다. 공정용 필름(200)의 폭을 편광자(100)의 폭보다 크게 할 경우, 접착제로 인한 가압 수단의 오염을 보다 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있다. Furthermore, in the present invention, the width of the process film 200 is preferably larger than the width of the polarizer 100. When the width of the process film 200 is greater than the width of the polarizer 100, contamination of the pressing means due to the adhesive may be more effectively reduced.
또한, 상기 공정용 필름(200)의 표면 거칠기(Ra)는 예를 들면, 0.5nm 내지 60nm, 1nm 내지 55nm 또는 2nm 내지 50nm인 것이 바람직하다. In addition, it is preferable that the surface roughness Ra of the process film 200 is, for example, 0.5 nm to 60 nm, 1 nm to 55 nm, or 2 nm to 50 nm.
여기서, 상기 표면 거칠기는 상기 공정용 필름 표면에 형성된 미세한 요철형상의 크기를 의미하는 것이다. 본 발명에서, 상기 공정용 필름은 그 표면 전체에 상기와 같은 사이즈의 미세한 표면 요철형상을 가지고 있기 때문에, 그 표면적이 현격히 증가하여 별도의 접착제층 등을 형성하지 않아도 상기 편광자와의 접착이 효과적으로 이루어진다. 특히, 본 발명에서 상기와 같은 범위의 표면 거칠기 값을 갖는 공정용 필름을 사용하는 경우에는 편광자의 표면에 요철이 생겨 거칠게 되는 귤피 현상(orange peel)이 발생하는 것을 방지할 수 있으므로 매우 유리하다. Here, the surface roughness means a fine concavo-convex shape formed on the surface of the process film. In the present invention, since the process film has a fine surface irregularities of the same size on the entire surface thereof, the surface area is significantly increased so that adhesion with the polarizer is effectively performed without forming a separate adhesive layer or the like. . In particular, in the present invention, when using a process film having a surface roughness value in the range as described above is very advantageous because it can prevent the occurrence of the orange peel (roughness peel) is generated by the irregularities on the surface of the polarizer.
한편, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판 제조방법에서, 상기 보호 필름(300)은 투명 기재 필름이면 특별히 한정되지 않는다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트 필름, 폴리에틸렌 필름, 폴리카보네이트 필름, 트리아세틸셀룰로오스 필름, 싸이클로올레핀 폴리머 필름 및 아크릴 필름 등으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상을 포함할 수 있으나, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다. On the other hand, in the method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention, the protective film 300 is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent base film. More specifically, for example, it may include one or more selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate film, polyethylene film, polycarbonate film, triacetylcellulose film, cycloolefin polymer film and acrylic film, but is not limited thereto. no.
다음으로, 상기 필름 공급 공정은 상기 편광자(100) 및 보호 필름(300) 사이에 접착제 조성물을 공급하여 접착제층을 형성하는 단계를 포함한다. Next, the film supply process includes supplying an adhesive composition between the polarizer 100 and the protective film 300 to form an adhesive layer.
여기서, 상기 접착제층을 형성하는 단계는 상기 필름 공급 공정 중의 임의의 단계에서, 편광자(100)의 접합면과 보호 필름(300)의 접합면 중 적어도 한쪽에, 접착제 조성물을 도포하는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. 도 1에서는, 접착제 도포 장치(50)를 이용하여 보호 필름(300)의 접합면에 접착제 조성물을 도포하고 있지만, 접착제 조성물을 도포하는 면은 이에 한정되지 않는다. 예를 들면, 상기 보호 필름(300)이 아니라 상기 편광자(100)의 접합면에 접착제 조성물을 도포해도 된다. Here, the step of forming the adhesive layer may be performed by a method of applying the adhesive composition to at least one of the bonding surface of the polarizer 100 and the bonding surface of the protective film 300 in any step of the film supply process. Can be. In FIG. 1, although the adhesive composition is apply | coated to the bonding surface of the protective film 300 using the adhesive agent application apparatus 50, the surface which apply | coats an adhesive composition is not limited to this. For example, you may apply an adhesive composition to the bonding surface of the said polarizer 100 instead of the said protective film 300.
이때, 상기 접착제 조성물이 도포되는 보호 필름(300)의 접착면에는 접착제 조성물이 도포되기 전에, 코로나 처리, 플라즈마 처리, 자외선 조사 처리, 또는 전자선 조사 처리와 같은 표면 활성화 처리가 수행될 수도 있다. In this case, a surface activation treatment such as corona treatment, plasma treatment, ultraviolet irradiation treatment, or electron beam irradiation treatment may be performed on the adhesive surface of the protective film 300 to which the adhesive composition is applied, before the adhesive composition is applied.
본 발명에서, 상기 접착제 조성물은 편광자(100) 및 보호 필름(300)을 접합시키기 위한 것으로 활성 에너지선의 조사에 의해 경화되는 것이면 특별히 한정되는 것은 아니다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 글리시딜에테르계 에폭시 화합물, 지환식 에폭시 화합물 및/또는 옥세탄 화합물 등이 포함되는 양이온 경화형 조성물이거나, 아크릴계 화합물 등을 포함하는 라디칼 경화형 조성물일 수 있다. In the present invention, the adhesive composition is for bonding the polarizer 100 and the protective film 300 is not particularly limited as long as it is cured by irradiation of active energy rays. More specifically, for example, it may be a cation-curable composition containing a glycidyl ether epoxy compound, an alicyclic epoxy compound and / or an oxetane compound, or may be a radical curable composition containing an acrylic compound and the like.
또한, 상기와 같은 접착제 조성물을 도포하는 방법은 필요한 양의 접착제 조성물을 균일하게 도포할 수 있으면, 특별히 한정되지 않는다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 닥터 블레이드, 와이어 바, 다이 코팅, 콤마 코팅, 그라비아 코팅 등, 각종 도공 방식을 이용하여 수행될 수 있으며, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다. In addition, the method of apply | coating such an adhesive composition will not be specifically limited if a required amount of adhesive composition can be apply | coated uniformly. More specifically, for example, a doctor blade, a wire bar, a die coating, a comma coating, a gravure coating, or the like may be performed using various coating methods, but is not limited thereto.
한편, 상기와 같이 형성된 접착제층은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 활성 에너지선 조사 수단(60)을 이용하여 활성 에너지선을 조사함으로써 접착제층을 경화시킬 수 있다. 이때, 상기 활성 에너지선으로는 자외선, 전자빔, 마이크로파(microwaves), 적외선(IR), X선 및 감마선은 물론, 알파-입자선(alpha-particle beam), 프로톤 빔(proton beam), 뉴트론 빔(neutron beam)과 같은 입자 빔이 포함될 수 있고, 통상적으로는 자외선 또는 전자선 등이 사용될 수 있다. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the adhesive layer formed as described above may harden the adhesive layer by irradiating the active energy ray using the active energy ray irradiation means 60. In this case, the active energy rays include ultraviolet rays, electron beams, microwaves, infrared rays (IR), X-rays and gamma rays, as well as alpha-particle beams, proton beams, and Neutron beams. Particle beams such as neutron beams may be included, and typically ultraviolet rays or electron beams may be used.
*이때, 상기 접착제층 상에 조사되는 상기 활성 에너지선의 광량은 500mJ/cm2 내지 3000mJ/cm2일 수 있고, 조사 시간은 0.1s 내지 20s일 수 있다. 활성 에너지선의 광량 및 조사 시간이 상기 수치범위를 만족하는 경우, 접착제의 경화 속도가 빠르고, 필름의 외관 특성 및 광학 특성을 저하시키지 않아, 생산성이 우수하다. 또한, 상기 활성 에너지선의 조사 방향은 공정용 필름(200) 표면에서 행해질 수도 있고, 접착제층이 형성된 보호 필름(300) 표면에서 행해질 수도 있으며, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 양면에서 행해질 수도 있다. * At this time, the amount of light of the active energy ray irradiated on the adhesive layer may be 500mJ / cm 2 to 3000mJ / cm 2 , the irradiation time may be 0.1s to 20s. When the light quantity and irradiation time of an active energy ray satisfy | fill the said numerical range, the hardening rate of an adhesive agent is fast and it does not reduce the external appearance characteristic and optical characteristic of a film, and is excellent in productivity. In addition, the irradiation direction of the active energy ray may be performed on the surface of the process film 200, may be performed on the surface of the protective film 300, the adhesive layer is formed, as shown in Figure 1, may be performed on both sides.
상기와 같이 경화된 접착제층의 두께는 0.1㎛ 내지 10㎛, 0.3㎛ 내지 5㎛ 또는 0.5㎛ 내지 4.0㎛인 것이 공정성 측면에서 바람직하다. 즉 접착제층의 두께가 0.1㎛ 이상인 경우 코팅성이 우수하고, 10㎛ 이하인 경우 우수한 내구성을 가질 수 있다. The thickness of the adhesive layer cured as described above is preferably 0.1㎛ to 10㎛, 0.3㎛ to 5㎛ or 0.5㎛ to 4.0㎛ in terms of processability. That is, when the thickness of the adhesive layer is 0.1 μm or more, the coating property is excellent, and when the thickness is 10 μm or less, it may have excellent durability.
다음으로, 상기 가압 공정은 상기 공정용 필름(200) 및 보호 필름(300)의 각 표면에 한 쌍의 가압 수단을 배치하여, 상기 공정용 필름(200)/상기 편광자(100)/상기 보호 필름(300)의 적층체를 가압하는 단계를 포함할 수 있다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 도 1에 나타낸 바와 같이, 상기 공정용 필름(200)/상기 편광자(100)/상기 보호 필름(100)의 구조를 이루는 적층체를 사이에 끼운 한 쌍의 가압 수단을 이용하여 가압하는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. 이때, 상기 가압 수단은 특별히 한정되는 것은 아니나, 예를 들면 롤 형태(10, 20)의 라미네이트 등의 접합기를 이용할 수 있다. Next, in the pressing step, a pair of pressing means is disposed on each surface of the process film 200 and the protective film 300, and the process film 200 / the polarizer 100 / the protective film And pressing the stack of 300. More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a pair of pressing means sandwiched between the laminate forming the structure of the process film 200 / the polarizer 100 / the protective film 100 is provided. It can be carried out by the method of pressurizing using. Under the present circumstances, although the said press means is not specifically limited, For example, bonding machines, such as the laminate of roll shape 10 and 20, can be used.
이때, 상기 가압하는 단계는 예를 들면, 0.5MPa 내지 6MPa 또는 1MPa 내지 5MPa의 압력으로 수행될 수 있다. 상기 공정용 필름(200)/상기 편광자(100)/상기 보호 필름(300)의 적층체를 상기와 같은 압력으로 가압하는 경우, 편광자의 손상 없이 안정적인 주행성을 확보하는 동시에 필름 접합시 유입되는 기포를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있다. In this case, the pressing may be performed at, for example, a pressure of 0.5 MPa to 6 MPa or 1 MPa to 5 MPa. When pressing the laminate of the process film 200 / the polarizer 100 / the protective film 300 at the above pressure, it ensures stable running without damaging the polarizer and at the same time the bubble entering the film bonding Can be removed effectively.
다음으로, 상기 박리 공정은 상기 공정용 필름(200)을 박리하는 단계를 포함할 수 있으며, 예를 들면 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 공정용 필름(200)을 박리하여 박리된 공정용 필름(200)을 공정용 필름 권취롤(220)에 권취함과 동시에, 형성된 편면형 박형 편광판을 편광판 권취롤(400)에 권취하는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. Next, the peeling process may include the step of peeling the process film 200, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the process film peeled off by peeling the process film 200 ( At the same time as the 200 wound on the film winding roll 220, it may be performed by a method of winding the formed one-sided thin polarizing plate on the polarizing plate winding roll 400.
상기한 바와 같은 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법은, 필름 공급 공정, 가압 공정 및 박리 공정을 롤 투 롤(roll to roll) 공정을 이용하여 동시에 연속공정으로 수행될 수 있으므로, 생산 수율이 높고, 매우 경제적이다.The method of manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention as described above, since the film supply process, the pressing process and the peeling process can be carried out at the same time in a continuous process using a roll to roll process, production yield This is high and very economical.
필요에 따라, 본 발명의 제조방법은, 도 2에 도시한 바와 같이, 상기 공정용 필름(200)을 박리하는 단계 이후에 상기 공정용 필름(200)이 박리된 면에 보호층을 형성하는 단계를 더 포함할 수 있다. 상기와 같은 보호층이 형성되면, 내습 환경에서도 편광자(100)가 탈색되는 현상을 방지할 수 있으며, 열충격 환경에서 편광자의 수축 응력을 보호층이 보호하여 편광판에 크랙(crack)이 발생하는 것을 방지할 수 있기 때문에, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판에 대해 우수한 내수성 및 열충격성을 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있다. If necessary, the manufacturing method of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, after the step of peeling the process film 200 to form a protective layer on the surface on which the process film 200 is peeled off It may further include. When the protective layer is formed as described above, the polarizer 100 may be prevented from being discolored even in a moisture resistant environment, and the protective layer protects the shrinkage stress of the polarizer in a thermal shock environment to prevent cracks in the polarizer. Since it is possible, the single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention has an advantage of ensuring excellent water resistance and thermal shock resistance.
여기서, 상기 보호층을 형성하는 단계는, 편광자(100)의 일면에 보호층 형성용 조성물을 도포한 후 건조 및/또는 경화시키는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. 예를 들면, 도 2에 도시한 바와 같이, 도포 수단(70)을 이용하여 보호층 형성용 조성물을 도포한 후 경화 수단 (80)을 이용하여 경화시키는 방법으로 보호층을 형성할 수 있다.Here, the forming of the protective layer may be performed by applying a composition for forming a protective layer on one surface of the polarizer 100 and then drying and / or curing the protective layer. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a protective layer can be formed by apply | coating the composition for protective layer formation using the application | coating means 70, and hardening using the hardening means 80. FIG.
상기와 같은 보호층 형성용 조성물을 도포하는 도포 수단(70)은 필요한 양의 보호층 형성용 조성물을 균일하게 도포할 수 있으면, 특별히 한정되지 않는다. 보다 구체적으로 예를 들면, 닥터 블레이드, 와이어 바, 다이 코팅, 콤마 코팅, 그라비아 코팅 등, 각종 도공 방식을 이용하여 수행될 수 있으며, 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다.The application means 70 which apply | coats the composition for protective layer formation as mentioned above will not be specifically limited, if a necessary amount of composition for protective layer formation can be apply | coated uniformly. More specifically, for example, a doctor blade, a wire bar, a die coating, a comma coating, a gravure coating, or the like may be performed using various coating methods, but is not limited thereto.
또한, 상기와 같이 형성된 보호층은 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 활성 에너지선 조사 수단(80)을 이용하여 활성 에너지선을 조사함으로써 접착제층을 경화시킬 수 있다. 이때, 상기 활성 에너지선의 종류, 광량, 조사 시간 및 조사 방향은 접착제층을 형성하는 단계에서 전술한 것과 같다. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the protective layer formed as described above may harden the adhesive layer by irradiating the active energy ray using the active energy ray irradiation means 80. In this case, the type, the light amount, the irradiation time and the irradiation direction of the active energy ray is the same as described above in the step of forming the adhesive layer.
한편, 상기와 같은 방법으로 경화된 보호층의 두께는 예를 들면, 0.5㎛ 내지 10㎛ 또는 0.5㎛ 내지 7㎛일 수 있다. 열충격 환경에서 편광판에 크랙(crack)이 발생하는 것을 방지함으로써, 본 발명에 따른 박형 편광판의 열충격성을 확보하기 위해서는, 편광자의 수축 응력보다 상기 보호 필름 및 상기 보호층의 모듈러스가 크게 설계되어 한다. 이때, 보호층의 모듈러스는 보호층의 두께에 따라 달라지는데, 보호층의 두께가 상기 수치범위를 만족하는 경우, 편광자의 수축 응력보다 보호 필름 및 보호층의 모듈러스의 크기를 크게하여 편광판의 열충격성을 확보하기가 용이한 장점이 있다. On the other hand, the thickness of the protective layer cured in the above manner may be, for example, 0.5㎛ to 10㎛ or 0.5㎛ to 7㎛. By preventing cracks from occurring in the polarizing plate in a thermal shock environment, in order to secure thermal shock properties of the thin polarizing plate according to the present invention, the modulus of the protective film and the protective layer is designed to be larger than the shrinkage stress of the polarizer. In this case, the modulus of the protective layer depends on the thickness of the protective layer. When the thickness of the protective layer satisfies the numerical range, the thermal shock resistance of the polarizing plate is increased by increasing the size of the protective film and the modulus of the protective layer rather than the shrinkage stress of the polarizer. There is an advantage that it is easy to secure.
본 발명에서, 상기 보호층 형성용 조성물은 특별히 한정되는 것은 아니나, 공정 편의성을 고려할 때, 활성 에너지선의 조사에 의해 경화되는 활성에너지선 경화하여 조성물인 것이 바람직하다. 보다 구체적으로, 상기 보호층 형성용 조성물은, 예를 들면, 글리시딜에테르계 에폭시 화합물, 지환식 에폭시 화합물 및/또는 옥세탄 화합물 등이 포함되는 양이온 경화형 조성물이거나, 아크릴계 화합물 등을 포함하는 라디칼 경화형 조성물일 수 있다.In the present invention, the composition for forming the protective layer is not particularly limited, but considering the process convenience, it is preferable that the composition is cured by active energy ray cured by irradiation of active energy rays. More specifically, the protective layer-forming composition is, for example, a cation-curable composition containing a glycidyl ether epoxy compound, an alicyclic epoxy compound and / or an oxetane compound, or a radical containing an acrylic compound or the like. It may be a curable composition.
한편, 상기 보호층의 모듈러스는 예를 들면, 70℃에서 500MPa 내지 6000MPa, 1000MPa 내지 5500MPa 또는 1500MPa 내지 5000MPa 일 수 있다. 본 발명에서, 보호층의 모듈러스가 상기와 같은 값을 갖는 경우 편광판의 내열성 및 열 충격 특성을 확보할 수 있기 때문이다. On the other hand, the modulus of the protective layer may be, for example, 500MPa to 6000MPa, 1000MPa to 5500MPa or 1500MPa to 5000MPa at 70 ℃. In the present invention, when the modulus of the protective layer has such a value, it is because it is possible to ensure the heat resistance and thermal shock characteristics of the polarizing plate.
여기서, 모듈러스란 임의의 재질의 탄성 특성을 나타내는 척도로써 재질 내 임의의 공간위치와 시간에 대하여 응력과 변형률 사이의 비례계수로 정의된다. 즉, 단순 인장의 경우 응력을 σ, 변형률을 ε, 모듈러스를 E 라 할 때, σ= E·ε와 같이 정의할 수 있다. 또한, 본 명세서에서 상기 모듈러스는 TA Instrument사의 DMA(dynamic mechanical analyzer) 장비를 이용하여 가하는 스트레스(stress)에 따른 주파수 응답의 변화를 측정한 값이다. Here, modulus is a measure of elastic properties of an arbitrary material and is defined as a proportional coefficient between stress and strain with respect to any spatial position and time in the material. That is, in the case of simple tensile, when sigma is a stress, strain is ε, and modulus is E, σ = E · ε can be defined. In addition, in the present specification, the modulus is a value obtained by measuring a change in frequency response according to stress applied using a DMA (dynamic mechanical analyzer) device of TA Instrument.
또한, 상기 보호층의 유리전이온도(Tg, glass transition temperature)는 예를 들면, 70℃ 내지 300℃일 수 있다.In addition, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the protective layer may be, for example, 70 ℃ to 300 ℃.
한편, 상기와 같은 방법으로 보호층이 형성된 편면형 박형 편광판을 도 2에 도시한 바와 같이, 편광판 권취롤(500)에 권취하여 롤 형태로 제조할 수 있다.Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, the single-sided thin polarizing plate having the protective layer formed thereon may be wound on the polarizing plate winding roll 500 to be manufactured in a roll form.
본 발명에 따라 제조된 편면형 박형 편광판의 두께는 예를 들면, 30㎛ 내지 140㎛, 30㎛ 내지 130㎛ 또는 30㎛ 내지 120㎛일 수 있다. The thickness of the single-sided thin polarizing plate manufactured according to the present invention may be, for example, 30 μm to 140 μm, 30 μm to 130 μm, or 30 μm to 120 μm.
상기한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 편면형 박형 편광판의 제조방법을 이용하는 경우, 두께 50㎛ 이하의 박형 편광자를 사용하여 두께가 현저히 얇은 박형 편광판을 제조할 수 있고, 제조 공정에서 오염이 발생하는 것을 쉽게 방지할 수 있어, 작업성이 우수하다. 또한, 롤 투 롤(roll to roll) 공정을 이용하여 연속공정으로 수행될 수 있으므로, 생산 수율이 높고, 매우 경제적인 장점이 있다. As described above, in the case of using the method for manufacturing a single-sided thin polarizing plate according to the present invention, a thin polarizing plate having a significantly thin thickness can be manufactured using a thin polarizer having a thickness of 50 μm or less, and it is known that contamination occurs in the manufacturing process. It can be easily prevented and the workability is excellent. In addition, it can be carried out in a continuous process using a roll to roll (roll to roll) process, the production yield is high, there is a very economic advantage.
