Below, the present invention will be described in further detail.
Xsect according to light-diffusing film 1 of the present invention is shown among Fig. 1.Light-diffusing film 1 has the optical diffusion layer 2 and 4 on the one side of high grade of transparency plastic carrier 3 or two faces, and described diffusion layer 2 and 4 comprises adhesive resin and light diffusion bead.
Being described in further detail below of individual layers.
(1) optical diffusion layer
The optical diffusion layer that forms on the one side of high grade of transparency plastic carrier or two faces comprises adhesive resin and light diffusion bead.Optical diffusion layer not only relates to incident scattering of light, reflection and refraction, with diffused light, but also produces the more light of high transmission rate, with light by light guide plate equably diffusion on the whole surface of lcd screen.
Herein, optical diffusion layer use to the bounding force of plastic carrier and with all excellent adhesive resin of compatibility as the bead of light diffusing agent.The instantiation of the resin of Shi Yonging can comprise herein: unsaturated polyester (UP); Acrylic resin, for example polymkeric substance or the multipolymer or the terpolymer of methyl methacrylate, Jia Jibingxisuanyizhi, isobutyl methacrylate, n-BMA, methacrylic acid normal-butyl methyl esters, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methacrylic acid hydroxyl ethyl ester, methacrylic acid hydroxyl propyl ester, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate, acrylamide, n-methylolacrylamide, glycidyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate or acrylic acid-2-ethyl caproite; Carbamate; Epoxy resin; Or melamine.If desired, can use rigidizer to come hardening resin to film, purpose is to improve thermotolerance, wearing quality and adhesiveness.Preferred resin has high transmittance, particularly, basement membrane is had high adhesiveness, because it forms optical diffusion layer.
The light diffusion bead comprises various organic or inorganic beads, and it improves transmittance and diffusion rate, and its refractive index and ordinary resin have difference.The instantiation of the light diffusion bead of Shi Yonging can comprise herein: organic bead, (for example comprise the acrylic compounds bead, methyl methacrylate, Jia Jibingxisuanyizhi, isobutyl methacrylate, n-BMA, methacrylic acid normal-butyl methyl esters, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methacrylic acid hydroxyl ethyl ester, methacrylic acid hydroxyl propyl ester, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate, acrylamide, n-methylolacrylamide, glycidyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, the polymkeric substance of n-butyl acrylate or acrylic acid-2-ethyl caproite or multipolymer or terpolymer), the olefines bead (for example, tygon, polystyrene or polypropylene), acryloyl group-olefin copolymer is perhaps by forming the single polymers bead and being coated with the multilayer polycomponent bead that different monomers prepares in the bead layer; And the bead of mineral-type, as monox, aluminium oxide, titanium dioxide, zirconia or magnesium fluoride.The present invention preferably uses organic bead, and it has excellent light diffusion efficient with respect to inorganic bead.
Based on the adhesive resin solids content of 100 weight portions, the content of light diffusion bead is preferably in the scope of 50 to 350 weight portions.The content that is lower than the light diffusion bead of 50 weight portions has worsened light diffusion efficient, and the light diffusion bead content that surpasses 350 weight portions causes the white turbidity that caused by the bead of piling up, use the light diffusion bead aspect have difficulty.Above-mentioned scope can represent with the bead quantity in the unit area optical diffusion layer, i.e. about 10 to 200 beads in the area of 100 μ m * 100 μ m.
The bead number is less than 10, the light diffusion degradation in efficiency.The bead number surpasses 200, has improved the quantity of meticulous bead relatively, thereby has improved polydispersity index, and caused bead to be piled up, and makes the light diffusion degradation in efficiency.
Use the particle size analysis instrument of making by Fritsch Company: ANALYSETTE22 to measure the average-size of bead.The arithmetic mean particle diameter of measuring with the particle size analysis instrument is preferably in the scope of 1 to 50 μ m.Arithmetic mean particle diameter less than 1 μ m causes the light diffusion degradation in efficiency, and the arithmetic mean particle diameter that surpasses 50 μ m has increased the thickness of optical diffusion layer, is difficult to optical diffusion layer is installed in the product that thickness reduces.More preferably the arithmetic mean particle diameter is in the scope of 5 to 30 μ m.
Light-diffusing film that the present invention develops uses polydispersity index greater than 1.00 and be not more than single bead that disperses of 1.50 as the light diffusion bead, to use the bead exhibit high brilliance than existing product less amount.The brightness that is installed in the light-diffusing film in the back light unit is to be determined by the particle ratio of optical diffusion layer and distribution of particles.
Polydispersity index calculates according to equation 1, and particularly, is to use FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscope; Make by Hitachi Company) with 500 times enlargement factors, by the analysis to measure of particle diameter distribution.More specifically, will get with N the bead that FE-SEM observes and make sample, and measure diameter, with definite number average diameter Dn, and weighted average diameter Dw, and according to equation 1 calculating polydispersity index.For complete single bead that disperses, polydispersity index is 1.00, so, when use polydispersity index greater than 1.00 and be not more than 1.50 single when disperseing bead rather than polydispersity index greater than 1.50 bead, the bead ratio is low more, the brightness of light source is big more.More preferably the polydispersity index of bead is greater than 1.00 and be not more than 1.40.
At Colloid Polym.Sci. 1999, in the 210th to 216 page, will be defined as by the polydispersity index that equation 1 provides and be used to assess single tolerance of disperseing the bead degree of scatter.
The bead compositions that has this distribution of particles in the high-luminance light diffusing layer must be dispersed on the whole surface of plastic carrier.The light diffusion solution of preparation thus is coated on the plastic carrier by comma cutter (comma knife) or photogravure.Film thickness is aptly in the scope of 5 to 50 μ m.Employing is less than the film thickness of 5 μ m, and the bead that can not so distribute is to provide light diffusion characteristic.The film thickness that adopt to surpass 50 μ m can not be installed in optical diffusion layer in the product that thickness reduces.
(2) plastic carrier
Any transparent carrier can be used for optical diffusion layer is coated with plastic carrier on it.The instantiation of plastic carrier can comprise: polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, tygon, epoxy resin etc.Preferred plastic carrier is a polyethylene terephthalate.Recently, the polyethylene terephthalate that will have the UV shield effectiveness is used for optical diffusion layer, and does not add the UV stabilizing agent.But this is Yan Taigui to being used for commercial the application.
Require plastic carrier that the bounding force of optical diffusion layer to adhesive resin is provided, and the effect that optical diffusion layer is not caused by its high transmission rate, and have surface flatness, and do not have the deviation of brightness.
The thickness of plastic carrier is suitably 50 to 250 μ m, more preferably 75 to 200 μ m.The thickness that is lower than 50 μ m causes the mechanical property and the poor heat resistance of light-diffusing film, and above the thickness of 250 μ m product is thickened, and causes the problem aspect the installation in the product that thickness reduces.
