Description

透明導電性フィルム基材用積層体Laminate for transparent conductive film substrate
 本発明は、投影型静電容量方式タッチパネルのセンサー電極等として用いることのできる、パターン化された透明導電層を有する透明導電性フィルムの基板として用いられる積層体に関する。 The present invention relates to a laminate used as a substrate of a transparent conductive film having a patterned transparent conductive layer that can be used as a sensor electrode of a projected capacitive touch panel.
 近年、携帯電話やスマートフォンなどのモバイル機器の入力装置として、投影型静電容量方式のタッチパネルが使用されている。この投影型静電容量方式のタッチパネルは、複数の指で同時に操作するマルチタッチ機能や、ジェスチャー入力機能など直感的な操作による使いやすさから、近年急速にモバイル機器への搭載率が上昇している。
 静電容量方式タッチパネルは、液晶ディスプレイ等の表示装置の上に、静電容量方式のタッチセンサーを配した構成である。かかる静電容量方式タッチセンサーは、人間の指の持つ静電容量による電界の乱れを検知する。そのセンサーの基材には、大きく分類してガラス基板とフィルム基板の2種類があるが、この内フィルム基材センサーは、ロールトゥロールによる連続生産が可能で製造コストが比較的安価であること、衝撃に強く割れにくいこと、軽量かつ薄型化が可能であることなど、モバイル機器用のセンサー基材として好ましい多くの特長を有しており、近年その適用範囲が拡大している。
 静電容量方式タッチセンサーは、位置検出のために、細線やダイヤモンド形状などにパターン化(パターニング)された透明導電層を有する透明導電性フィルムを電極として用い、かかる電極2枚を、透明導電層を対向させて重ね合わせた構造となっている。パターニングは所望のパターンをフォトリソグラフィーやスクリーン印刷などで描いたあと、エッチングすることで形成するが、このとき、透明導電層が存在する部分と除去された部分の光学特性に差が生じて、透明導電層のパターンが視認されてしまう、いわゆる「骨見え」現象が生じる。
 この骨見えの課題を解決するため、屈折率の異なる薄膜を積層した光学調整層を形成し、光の干渉効果を利用して光学特性の差を解消する、いわゆるインデックスマッチング技術が知られている(特許文献1~10)。
 ところで、タッチパネルに用いられる透明導電性フィルムの基材としては、耐熱性、力学特性、光学特性などの諸特性と価格のバランスに優れた二軸配向ポリエステルフィルム、特に二軸配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムが従来使用されてきた。また、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの表面は、一般的に親和性に乏しいため、フィルム基材上に例えば上記のような屈折率の異なる薄膜を積層するにあたって、易接着成分を塗布し、易接着層を形成する技術が知られている(特許文献11)。
 また、ポリエステルフィルム、特にポリエチレンテレフタレートの一軸または二軸の延伸フィルムは、上述のタッチパネル用途の他にも、例えばフラットパネルディスプレイの保護フィルムや反射防止フィルムなどの各種光学用フィルムとして多く用いられている。しかしながら、フィルム表面に傷が発生するのを抑制するためのハードコート層や、光反射を抑制するための反射防止層などの機能層を積層しようとしても、上述のようにその表面は親和性に乏しく、接着性に乏しいため、通常フィルム表面にインラインコーティングまたはオフラインコーティングで易接着層を設けた積層フィルムとするのが一般的である。この場合、ポリエステルフィルムおよび/または機能層の屈折率と、易接着層の屈折率との差が大きくなると、光の干渉斑による色斑感が発生するという問題がある。なお、この干渉斑は、太陽光や白熱灯よりも、三波長蛍光灯という特殊な蛍光灯下でより感知される。かかる問題を解消するために、易接着層の屈折率を高めてポリエステルフィルムと機能層の中間の屈折率にするとともに、厚みを調整することが提案されている。
 例えば、特許文献12には、易接着層の屈折率を延伸ポリエステルフィルムの面方向屈折率とハードコート層の屈折率の中間である1.55~1.62とし、さらに厚みを50~150nmとする方法が提案され、易接着層として2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分を有する高ガラス転移温度のポリエステルとトリメリット酸成分を含有する低ガラス転移温度のポリエステルとを併用することが記載されている。また、特許文献13には、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分とビスフェノールA骨格を有するグリコール成分を含む共重合ポリエステルを主成分とする易接着層を設ける方法、さらに特許文献14には、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分とビスフェノールフルオレンのエチレンオキサイド付加体成分を含む共重合ポリエステルを1成分として含有し、厚みが50~200nmの易接着層を設ける方法が提案されている。

In recent years, a projected capacitive touch panel has been used as an input device for mobile devices such as mobile phones and smartphones. In recent years, the projected capacitive touch panel has rapidly increased in mobile devices due to its ease of use through intuitive operations such as the multi-touch function that allows multiple fingers to operate simultaneously and the gesture input function. Yes.
The capacitive touch panel has a configuration in which a capacitive touch sensor is arranged on a display device such as a liquid crystal display. Such a capacitive touch sensor detects an electric field disturbance due to a capacitance of a human finger. There are two types of sensor base materials: glass substrates and film substrates. The film base sensors can be continuously produced by roll-to-roll and are relatively inexpensive to manufacture. It has many features that are preferable as a sensor base material for mobile devices, such as being strong against impacts and being hard to break, and being light and thin, and its application range has expanded in recent years.
The capacitive touch sensor uses, as an electrode, a transparent conductive film having a transparent conductive layer patterned (patterned) into a thin line or a diamond shape for position detection. It is the structure which piled up facing each other. Patterning is performed by drawing a desired pattern by photolithography or screen printing, and then etching. At this time, there is a difference in the optical characteristics between the portion where the transparent conductive layer is present and the portion where the transparent conductive layer is removed. A so-called “bone appearance” phenomenon occurs in which the pattern of the conductive layer is visually recognized.
In order to solve this problem of bone appearance, a so-called index matching technique is known in which an optical adjustment layer is formed by laminating thin films having different refractive indexes and the difference in optical characteristics is eliminated by utilizing the light interference effect. (Patent Documents 1 to 10).
By the way, as a base material of a transparent conductive film used for a touch panel, a biaxially oriented polyester film, particularly a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate film, which has an excellent balance between various properties such as heat resistance, mechanical properties, and optical properties and a price has been conventionally used. Have been used. In addition, since the surface of the biaxially oriented polyester film is generally poor in affinity, when laminating thin films having different refractive indexes, for example, on the film substrate, an easy adhesion component is applied, There is known a technique for forming (Patent Document 11).
Polyester films, particularly uniaxial or biaxial stretched films of polyethylene terephthalate, are often used as various optical films such as protective films and antireflection films for flat panel displays in addition to the above-mentioned touch panel applications. . However, even if an attempt is made to laminate a functional layer such as a hard coat layer for suppressing the generation of scratches on the film surface or an antireflection layer for suppressing light reflection, the surface has an affinity as described above. Since it is scarce and has poor adhesion, it is common to use a laminated film in which an easy-adhesion layer is usually provided on the film surface by in-line coating or off-line coating. In this case, when the difference between the refractive index of the polyester film and / or the functional layer and the refractive index of the easy-adhesion layer becomes large, there is a problem that color spots due to light interference spots occur. In addition, this interference spot is more perceived under the special fluorescent lamp called a three wavelength fluorescent lamp rather than sunlight or an incandescent lamp. In order to solve such a problem, it has been proposed to increase the refractive index of the easy-adhesion layer so that the refractive index is intermediate between the polyester film and the functional layer, and to adjust the thickness.
For example, Patent Document 12 discloses that the easy-adhesion layer has a refractive index of 1.55 to 1.62 which is an intermediate between the refractive index of the stretched polyester film and the hard coat layer, and has a thickness of 50 to 150 nm. And a method of using a high glass transition temperature polyester having a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component and a low glass transition temperature polyester containing a trimellitic acid component as an easy-adhesion layer is described. . Patent Document 13 discloses a method of providing an easy-adhesion layer mainly composed of a copolyester containing a naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component having a bisphenol A skeleton, and Patent Document 14 discloses 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid. A method has been proposed in which a copolyester containing an acid component and an ethylene oxide adduct component of bisphenolfluorene is contained as one component, and an easy adhesion layer having a thickness of 50 to 200 nm is provided.

 近年、ディスプレイの高画質化に伴い、「骨見え」がさらに抑制されたタッチセンサーが求められるようになってきた。しかしながら、このような要求に対しては、パターン化された透明導電層を有する透明導電性フィルムの基材として、従来の抵抗膜方式のフィルムセンサー電極に用いられるような一般的な易接着性ポリエステルフィルムを適用しても不十分である。本発明者らは、ポリエステルフィルム上に積層された易接着層の特性によって、骨見えの程度が異なることを見出し、これに着目した。これは、光学調整層の高屈折率層と、易接着層およびポリエステルフィルムとの光学干渉が原因であると考えられる。

In recent years, with an increase in the image quality of displays, a touch sensor in which “bone appearance” is further suppressed has been demanded. However, in response to such a demand, a general easy-adhesive polyester used for a conventional resistive film type film sensor electrode as a substrate of a transparent conductive film having a patterned transparent conductive layer. Even if a film is applied, it is insufficient. The present inventors have found that the degree of bone appearance differs depending on the characteristics of the easy-adhesion layer laminated on the polyester film, and have focused on this. This is considered to be caused by optical interference between the high refractive index layer of the optical adjustment layer, the easy adhesion layer and the polyester film.
On the other hand, when an optical adjustment layer (particularly a high refractive index layer) is formed without having an easy-adhesion layer, sufficient adhesion cannot be obtained and delamination occurs.
Then, an object of this invention is to provide the laminated body for transparent conductive film base materials which made the outstanding index matching characteristic and favorable adhesiveness compatible.
As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors applied an easy-adhesion layer that satisfies the following characteristics, thereby suppressing the influence of optical interference caused by the easy-adhesion layer and providing a good bone appearance suppression effect. At the same time, it was found that sufficient adhesion was obtained, and the present invention was completed.

 また、他の共重合成分として、上記以外の分子内に2つのエステル形成性官能基を有する化合物を用いることもできる。かかる化合物としては、例えば、蓚酸、ドデカンジカルボン酸、1,4−シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸、4,4’−ジフェニルジカルボン酸、フェニルインダンジカルボン酸、2,7−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、テトラリンジカルボン酸、デカリンジカルボン酸、ジフェニルエーテルジカルボン酸等の如きジカルボン酸に由来する成分、p−オキシ安息香酸、p−オキシエトキシ安息香酸の如きオキシカルボン酸に由来する成分、或いはプロピレングリコール、トリメチレングリコール、テトラメチレングリコール、ヘキサメチレングリコール、シクロヘキサンメチレングリコール、ネオペンチルグリコール、ビスフェノールスルホンのエチレンオキサイド付加物、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加物、ジエチレングリコール、ポリエチレンオキシドグリコールの如き2価アルコールに由来する成分を好ましく用いることができる。これらの化合物は1種のみ用いてもよく、2種以上を用いることができる。また、これらの中で好ましくは、酸成分としては、4,4’−ジフェニルジカルボン酸、2,7−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、p−オキシ安息香酸に由来する成分であり、グリコール成分としてはトリメチレングリコール、ヘキサメチレングリコールネオペンチルグリコール、ビスフェノールスルホンのエチレンオキサイド付加物に由来する成分である。
 本発明においてポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステルとして特に好ましくは、ポリエチレンテレフタレートである。かかるポリエチレンテレフタレートとしては、上述のように共重合成分を有していても良いが、エチレンテレフタレート単位を90モル%以上、好ましくは95%以上、更に好ましくは97%以上有するものが好ましい。特に好ましくはホモのポリエチレンテレフタレートである。共重合成分としてはイソフタル酸が好ましい。
 本発明におけるポリエステルは、従来公知の方法で、例えばジカルボン酸とグリコールの反応で直接低重合度ポリエステルを得る方法や、ジカルボン酸の低級アルキルエステルとグリコールとを従来公知のエステル交換触媒である、例えばナトリウム、カリウム、マグネシウム、カルシウム、亜鉛、ストロンチウム、チタン、ジルコニウム、マンガン、コバルトを含む化合物の一種または二種以上を用いて反応させた後、重合触媒の存在下で重合反応を行う方法で得ることができる。重合触媒としては、三酸化アンチモン、五酸化アンチモンのようなアンチモン化合物、二酸化ゲルマニウムで代表されるようなゲルマニウム化合物、テトラエチルチタネート、テトラプロピルチタネート、テトラフェニルチタネートまたはこれらの部分加水分解物、蓚酸チタニルアンモニウム、蓚酸チタニルカリウム、チタントリスアセチルアセトネートのようなチタン化合物を用いることができる。
 なお、ポリエステルは、溶融重合後これをチップ化し、加熱減圧下または窒素などの不活性気流中において更に固相重合を施してもよい。
 ポリエステルの固有粘度は0.40dl/g以上であることが好ましく、0.40~0.90dl/gであることが更に好ましい。固有粘度が0.40dl/g未満では工程切断が多発することがあり、0.9dl/gより高いと溶融粘度が高いため溶融押出しが困難であるうえ、重合時間が長く不経済である。
(ポリエステルフィルム)
 本発明におけるポリエステルフィルムは、好ましくは面方向平均屈折率が1.60~1.70である。これにより、本発明の積層体を構成する他の層との相乗効果により、骨見え抑制効果により優れる。ここで面方向平均屈折率とは、フィルム面内において、任意の一方向の屈折率とそれに垂直な方向の屈折率との平均屈折率、好ましくはフィルム面内において、最大屈折率と、かかる最大屈折率を示す方向と垂直な方向の屈折率との平均屈折率を示す。面方向平均屈折率は、低すぎても高すぎても、骨見え抑制の効果が低下する。かかる観点から、ポリエステルフィルムの面方向平均屈折率の範囲は、1.62以上がより好ましく、1.63以上がさらに好ましく、1.64以上が特に好ましく、1.65以上が最も好ましい。また、1.68以下がより好ましく、1.67以下がさらに好ましく、1.66以下が特に好ましい。
 また、面方向平均屈折率がこの範囲にあると、後述するように、ポリエステルフィルムの光学調整層とは反対側の面にハードコート層等の機能層を設ける場合において、第2易接着層を設け、その上にハードコート層のような比較的屈折率の低い層を形成した際に、干渉斑の発生を抑制することができる。かかる干渉斑抑制の観点においては、面方向平均屈折率は、好ましくは1.63~1.68、より好ましくは1.64~1.67、さらに好ましくは1.65~1.66の範囲であり、かかる範囲を外れて高すぎても低すぎても、干渉斑発生の抑制が難しくなる。
 かかるポリエステルフィルムは、面方向平均屈折率が上記の要件を満足していれば、未配向フィルム、一軸配向フィルム、二軸配向フィルムのいずれであってもよいが、機械的特性や熱的特性の点から二軸配向フィルムであることが好ましい。
(ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム)
 かかる面方向平均屈折率を達成するためには、例えばフィルムを構成するポリエステルとして、上述したポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)を採用することが好ましい。また、延伸条件として後述する条件を採用することも、面方向平均屈折率を達成する上で効果的である。
 本発明においては、好ましくは配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムが用いられる。配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムを構成するポリエステルは、全繰返し単位を基準として、エチレンテレフタレート単位が95モル%以上、好ましくは98モル%以上のポリエステルであり、特に好ましくは共重合成分を併用していないホモポリエステルである。共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートである場合には、共重合成分として、例えば、イソフタル酸、ナフタレンジカルボン酸等のジカルボン酸成分や、ジエチレングリコール、ブタンジオール、シクロヘキサンジオール等のグリコール成分を用いることができる。
(ポリエステルフィルムのその他の成分)
 ポリエステルフィルムは、搬送性を確保するために、例えば不活性粒子等の易滑性のフィラーを含有させることもできる。一方で、例えば静電容量式のタッチセンサーは、複数の透明フィルムを積層して構成され、フィルムのヘーズが積算されるため、各構成フィルムの内部ヘーズはできるだけ低いことが望まれる。このように、光学用途において高い透明性を維持する観点からは、ポリエステルフィルムにはフィラーを含有しないか、実質的にフィラーを含有しない(例えば10ppm以下、好ましくは1ppm以下)ことが好ましい。しかし、製造工程での微小なキズ防止や、フィルムの巻取り性を向上させるために、滑剤として少量のフィラーを含有させてもよい。フィラーは、例えば平均粒径0.01~2μm、さらには0.05~1μm、特に0.1~0.3μmの不活性粒子を用いるとよい。配合割合としては、配合する層の質量を基準として、例えば100ppm以下とするのが好ましく、また実質的に含有しない範囲である10ppm以下、特に1ppm以下としてもよい。
 また、ポリエステルフィルムは、着色剤、帯電防止剤、酸化防止剤、有機滑剤、触媒を含有することもできる。
<第1易接着層>
 本発明においては、第1易接着層によって、ポリエステルフィルムと光学調整層との接着性を高めることができる。なお、本発明においては、第1易接着層および/または後述する第2易接着層を有するポリエステルフィルムを積層ポリエステルフィルムと呼称する場合がある。
(第1易接着層の屈折率)
 本発明においては、第1易接着層の屈折率は1.60~1.65の範囲であることが重要である。これにより、本発明の積層体を構成する他の層との相乗効果により、骨見え抑制効果に優れる。第1の易接着層の屈折率が低すぎると、光学干渉が大きくなりすぎるため、骨見え抑制効果が得られない。理想的には、ポリエステルフィルム、第1易接着層、光学調整層(または光学調整層における高屈折率層)のすべてが同一の屈折率であることが好ましいが、現実には、1.65を超える屈折率を達成しようとすると、第1易接着層の透明性を高めることが困難となる傾向にある。これらのバランスを考えて、第1易接着層の屈折率は、好ましくは1.61~1.64、さらに好ましくは1.62~1.64である。
 第1易接着層の屈折率は、後述する高屈折率層の屈折率との差が、0.05以下であることが好ましい。かかる態様により、骨見え抑制の向上効果を高くすることができる。かかる屈折率差は、より好ましくは0.04以下、さらに好ましくは0.03以下である。
 また、第1易接着層の屈折率は、ポリエステルフィルムの面方向平均屈折率との差が、0.05以下であることが好ましい。かかる態様により、骨見え抑制の向上効果を高くすることができる。かかる屈折率差は、より好ましくは0.04以下、さらに好ましくは0.03以下である。
(第1易接着層の厚み)
 第1易接着層の厚みは、8~30nmである。これにより接着性に優れる。また、第1易接着層の屈折率を上述した範囲とするとともに、厚みを上記範囲とすることで、本発明の積層体における他の層との相互作用により、優れた骨見え抑制効果を奏することができる。
 薄膜の光学干渉は、屈折率と光路長(膜厚み)の積に依存する。本発明者らは、これに関し更に詳細な検討を行った結果、光学調整層または光学調整層における高屈折率層が後述する屈折率範囲であり、かつ第1易接着層が前記屈折率範囲である場合において、第1易接着層の膜厚を8~30nmというごく狭い範囲に制御することで、優れた骨見え抑制効果を奏しながら、かつ優れた接着性が得られることを見出した。第1易接着層の厚みが厚すぎると、骨見え抑制の効果が低下する。他方、薄すぎると、接着性が低下する。かかる観点から、第1易接着層の厚みは、好ましくは10nm以上、より好ましくは15nm以上、さらに好ましくは18nm以上であり、また、好ましくは25nm以下、さらに好ましくは22nm以下である。
(第1易接着層のポリエステル樹脂)
 本発明における第1易接着層は、第1易接着層の質量を基準として50質量%以上をポリエステル樹脂が占める。これにより接着性に優れる。かかる観点から、ポリエステル樹脂の含有量は、好ましくは70質量%以上であり、より好ましくは80質量%以上である。第1易接着層中におけるポリエステル樹脂の含有量の上限は特に限られないが、後述する、第1易接着層中に好ましく含有することができる成分以外の、その余の部分をポリエステル樹脂が占める態様とすればよい。
 本発明では、第1易接着層を形成するバインダー成分としてポリエステル樹脂を用いるが、このポリエステル樹脂のガラス転移温度(Tg)は120℃以下であることが好ましい。これにより接着性にさらに優れる。また、延伸追随性(造膜性)に優れ、平滑で透明性に優れた第1易接着層とすることができる。かかる観点から、Tgは100℃以下がより好ましく、80℃以下がさらに好ましく、75℃以下が特に好ましい。また、ポリエステル樹脂のTgの下限は40℃であることが好ましく、これにより接着性にさらに優れ、また耐ブロッキング性に優れる。かかる観点から、Tgは、50℃以上であることがより好ましく、60℃以上が特に好ましい。
 このポリエステル樹脂としては、以下に示すような酸成分とグリコール成分とからなるポリエステルまたは共重合ポリエステルを挙げることができる。本発明においては、接着性の観点から、共重合ポリエステルであることが好ましい。尚、以下にかかるポリエステルを構成するモノマー成分を例示するが、これらに限定されない。
 酸成分としてはテレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、フタル酸、無水フタル酸、2、6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、1、4−シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸、アジピン酸、セバシン酸、トリメリット酸、ピロメリット酸、ダイマー酸、5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸等に由来する成分を挙げることができる。これら酸成分を2種以上用いて共重合ポリエステルとすることが好ましい。また、若干量ながら不飽和多塩基酸成分のマレイン酸、イタコン酸等及びp−ヒドロキシ安息香酸等の如きヒドロキシカルボン酸を用いることもできる。本発明においては、なかでも屈折率と塗膜強度とのバランスが取れるという観点から、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸を用いることが好ましい。ポリエステル樹脂中の2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸の含有量としては、全酸成分100モル%に対して、50モル%以上が好ましく、60モル%以上がより好ましい。また、90モル%以下が好ましく、80モル%以下がより好ましく、70モル%以下がさらに好ましい。かかる成分の含有量が多すぎると、第1易接着層の造膜性が低下する傾向にある。他方、少なすぎると、屈折率の向上効果が小さく、また、力学特性の向上効果が小さい。
 グリコール成分としては、エチレングリコール、1、4−ブタンジオール、ジエチレングリコール、ジプロピレングリコール、1、6−ヘキサンジオール、1、4−シクロヘキサンジメタノール、キシレングリコール、ジメチロールプロパン、ポリ(エチレンオキシド)グリコール、ポリ(テトラメチレンオキシド)グリコール等に由来する成分を挙げることができる。これらグリコール成分を2種以上用いて共重合ポリエステルとすることが好ましい。本発明においては、さらに、第1易接着層の屈折率を効果的に高くするために、好ましくはビス(4−ヒドロキシエトキシフェニル)フルオレン成分などの、下記式(I)で表わされるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分のような、共役系を有する化合物を共重合成分として用いることが好ましい。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-I000003
(Rは炭素数2~4のアルキレン基、R、R、R、およびRは、水素、炭素数1~4のアルキル基、アリール基またはアラルキル基であり、それぞれ同じであっても異なっていてもよい。)
 ポリエステル樹脂中のフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分の含有量としては、全酸成分100モル%に対して、2モル%以上が好ましく、4モル%以上がより好ましく、6モル%以上がさらに好ましい。また、10モル%以下が好ましく、8モル%以下がより好ましい。かかる成分の含有量が多すぎると、第1易接着層の造膜性が低下する傾向にある。他方、少なすぎると、屈折率の向上効果が小さい。
 本発明においては、これら成分の中でも、酸成分として2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分を採用し、同時に、グリコール成分としてフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分、好ましくはビス(4−ヒドロキシエトキシフェニル)フルオレン成分を採用した態様が好ましい。これにより、第1易接着層の屈折率を本発明が規定する範囲にすることがより容易となると同時に、力学特性にも優れ、また接着性の向上効果を高くすることができる。これら成分は、各々上述した含有量でポリエステル樹脂中に含有する態様が好ましい。
 また、上記のような思想の基、本発明における第1易接着層を構成するポリエステル樹脂として、後述する第2易接着層を構成する共重合ポリエステル樹脂を採用することができる。そうすることによって、かかる第2易接着層を構成する共重合ポリエステル樹脂を採用する効果と同様の効果を、第1易接着層に付与することができるため好ましい。
 本発明における第1易接着層を構成するポリエステル樹脂の特に好ましい態様は、全酸成分を100モル%として、酸成分が、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸が60~70モル%、イソフタル酸が25~30モル%、5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸が5~10モル%であり、グリコール成分が、ビスフェノールAが10~20モル%、エチレングリコールが35~60モル%、トリメチレングリコールが25~35モル%、ビス(4−ヒドロキシエトキシフェニル)フルオレンが5~10モル%からなる態様である。
 なお、ポリエステル樹脂は、水(多少の有機溶剤を含有したものであっても良い)に可溶性または分散性のポリエステルが好ましく、後述する塗液を製造しやすい。
(金属酸化物粒子)
 本発明における第1易接着層は、層の屈折率を制御するために、屈折率が1.7~3.0、好ましくは1.8~2.2の金属酸化物粒子を添加することが好ましい。この金属酸化物粒子としては、TiO(屈折率2.5)、ZrO(屈折率2.4)、SnO(屈折率2.0)、Sb(屈折率2.0)などが例示され、本発明においては、これらからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の金属酸化物粒子を用いることが好ましい。
 高度な透明性を達成するためには、第1易接着層中の金属酸化物粒子による光学散乱を避けるため、金属酸化物粒子は、無色透明で、光の波長に対して十分に小さい粒径(例えば400nm以下、好ましくは100nm以下)であるものが好ましい。また屈折率が高いほど少量で第1易接着層の屈折率を上げることができるため好ましいが、屈折率が3.0を超えるような高屈折率の金属酸化物粒子は透明性に劣る傾向にあり、また特殊な希少金属が多いため、製造コストの上昇をもたらす傾向にある。
 このような観点から、本発明における第1易接着層の金属酸化物粒子としては、酸化チタン、酸化ジルコニウムからなる粒子がより好ましく、比重の観点から少量で屈折率向上効果の高い酸化チタン粒子が特に好ましい。
 金属酸化物粒子の添加量は、第1易接着層の質量を基準として、2質量%以上、20質量%以下が好ましく、かかる範囲とすることで透明性を維持しながら効率的に屈折率を高くすることができる。多すぎると透明性が低下する傾向にある。また、粒子脱落等が生じ易くなったり、コーティング時に設備の磨耗を引き起こしたり、安定したコーティングが困難となる傾向にある。他方、少なすぎると屈折率向上の効果が低くなる。かかる観点から、より好ましくは3質量%以上、更には4質量%以上、特には5質量%以上が好ましく、また、15質量%以下がより好ましく、10質量%以下がさらに好ましく、8質量%以下が特に好ましい。
 第1易接着層の屈折率を高めるためには、上述したように、金属酸化物粒子などの高屈折率フィラーを添加する方法や、バインダー成分としてのポリエステル樹脂の屈折率を高める方法などの手段があるが、金属酸化物粒子の使用は、設備磨耗の問題があり、多量に添加することが比較的難しい。一方、バインダー成分の屈折率を高めようとした場合は、同時にガラス転移温度も高くなる傾向があるため、延伸時の変形に追随できず延伸工程で塗膜が割れ、フィルムヘーズが上昇してしまう等の問題が生じ易くなる。したがって、これらの制約から、バインダー成分(ポリエステル樹脂)の構成および屈折率と、金属酸化物粒子の屈折率及び添加率は適切なバランスを取る必要があり、本発明においては、それぞれ上述した好ましい範囲を同時に採用する態様が最も好ましい。
(滑材粒子)
 本発明における第1易接着層は、上記特定屈折率範囲の金属酸化物粒子以外にも、滑性を付与するための滑材粒子を含有することが好ましい。滑材粒子を含有することによって、フィルムに滑性や耐傷性を付与することができる。
 かかる滑材粒子としては、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、酸化カルシウム、酸化ケイ素、ケイ酸ソーダ、水酸化アルミニウム、カーボンブラック、等の無機滑材粒子、アクリル系架橋重合体、スチレン系架橋重合体、シリコーン樹脂、フッ素樹脂、ベンゾグアナミン樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ナイロン樹脂等の有機滑材粒子を挙げることができる。これらは1種類で用いてもよく、2種類以上を併用してもよい。
 滑材粒子の平均粒子径は、好ましくは10~180nm、更に好ましくは20~150nmである。本発明の第1易接着層厚みは、通常の光学用フィルムにおける易接着層の厚みである80~120nmに対して非常に薄いため、平均粒子径が180nmより大きいと、滑材粒子の落脱が発生しやすくなり、また10nmよりも小さいと十分な滑性、耐傷性が得られない場合がある。
 滑材粒子の含有量は、第1易接着層の質量100質量%あたり、好ましくは0.1~10質量%である。0.1質量%未満であると十分な滑性、耐傷性が得られず、10質量%を超えると表面ヘーズが高くなる傾向にあり、光学特性が低下する傾向にある。
(架橋剤)
 本発明においては、第1易接着層の塗膜強度を向上させる目的、および接着性の向上効果を高くする目的で、架橋剤を添加することが好ましい。
 架橋剤としては、塗膜強度向上の観点、および接着性をより向上できる観点から、好ましくはオキサゾリン基及びポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有する化合物、更に好ましくはオキサゾリン基及びポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有するアクリル樹脂を用いる。アクリル樹脂は、容易に多種類の官能基を共重合できるため好ましい。オキサゾリン基及びポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有するアクリル樹脂は、水(多少の有機溶剤を含有していても良い)に可溶性または分散性のアクリルが好ましい。また、アクリル樹脂は屈折率が低いため、かかる成分の添加は第1易接着層の屈折率を下げることにつながるため、その添加量には十分注意する必要がある。
 かかるオキサゾリン基及びポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有するアクリル樹脂としては、以下に示すようなモノマーを成分として含むものを挙げることができる。
 オキサゾリン基を有するモノマーとしては、例えば2−ビニル−2−オキサゾリン、2−ビニル−4−メチル−2−オキサゾリン、2−ビニル−5−メチル−2−オキサゾリン、2−イソプロペニル−2−オキサゾリン、2−イソプロペニル−4−メチル−2−オキサゾリン、2−イソプロペニル−5−メチル−2−オキサゾリンを挙げることができる。これらは、1種で用いてもよく、2種以上の混合物として使用してもよい。これらの中、2−イソプロペニル−2−オキサゾリンが工業的に入手しやすく好適である。オキサゾリン基を有するアクリル樹脂を用いることにより第1易接着層の凝集力が向上し、光学調整層または高屈折率層との接着性がより強固になる。更に、フィルム製膜工程内や、光学調整層または高屈折率層の加工工程内の金属ロールに対する耐擦過性を付与できる。このような効果の観点から、かかる成分を、アクリル樹脂中に10~50モル%含有することが好ましく、20~40モル%含有することがより好ましく、25~35モル%含有することがさらに好ましい。
 ポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有するモノマーとしては、例えばアクリル酸、メタクリル酸のエステル部にポリアルキレンオキシドを付加させたものを挙げることができる。ポリアルキレンオキシド鎖は、例えばポリメチレンオキシド、ポリエチレンオキシド、ポリプロピレンオキシド、ポリブチレンオキシドを挙げることができる。
 ポリアルキレンオキシド鎖を有するアクリル樹脂を用いることで、第1易接着層中のポリエステル樹脂とアクリル樹脂の相溶性が、ポリアルキレンオキシド連鎖を含有しないアクリル樹脂と比較して良くなり、第1易接着層の透明性を向上させることができる。このような観点から、かかる成分を、アクリル樹脂中に2~20モル%含有することが好ましく、5~15モル%含有することがより好ましい。
 ポリアルキレンオキシド鎖の繰り返し単位は3~100であることが好ましく、より好ましくは4~50、さらに好ましくは5~20である。ポリアルキレンオキシド鎖の繰り返し単位が少なすぎると、ポリエステル樹脂とアクリル樹脂との相溶性が悪くなる傾向にあり、第1易接着層の透明性の向上効果が低くなる傾向にある。他方、大きすぎると、第1易接着層の耐湿熱性が低くなる傾向にあり、特に高湿度、高温下において光学調整層または高屈折率層との接着性が低くなる傾向にある。
 架橋剤としてのアクリル樹脂を構成するその余のモノマーとしては、アルキルアクリレート(好ましくはメチルアクリレートまたはエチルアクリレート)や、アルキルメタクリレート(好ましくはメチルメタクリレートまたはエチルメタクリレート)を用いればよい。
 架橋剤の、第1易接着層中での含有割合は、第1易接着層のポリエステル樹脂と架橋剤の合計100質量%に対して、好ましくは1~20質量%、より好ましくは2~15質量%、さらに好ましくは8~15質量%である。
 本発明においては、後述する第2易接着層における好ましい架橋剤である架橋性付加重合体を、第1易接着層の架橋剤として用いることができる。これにより、第2易接着層において架橋性付加重合体を採用する効果と同様の効果を、第1易接着層に付与することができる。
<光学調整層>
 第1易接着層の上には、光学調整層が設けられる。
 光学調整層は、干渉効果により、透明導電層の存在する部分と存在しない部分の光の反射、透過特性をマッチングさせ、骨見えを抑制する機能を奏する層である。光学調整層は、少なくとも一層の高屈折率層と少なくとも一層の低屈折率層より、これらを適宜組み合わせて構成されるのが通常である。高屈折率層と低屈折率層は、それぞれ複数層有していても良い。通常は、ポリエステルフィルム、高屈折率層、低屈折率層の積層順序となる。本発明における光学調整層としては、ポリエステルフィルムに近い側に高屈折率層、かかる高屈折率層のポリエステルフィルムとは反対側に低屈折率層を備える、高屈折率層/低屈折率層の2層構成である態様が好ましい。
(高屈折率層)
 高屈折率層は、屈折率が1.60~1.80の層である。このような屈折率範囲とすることによって、本発明における他の層との相互作用により、骨見え抑制効果により優れる。かかる屈折率は高すぎても低すぎても骨見え抑制効果が低くなる傾向にある。かかる観点から、高屈折率層の屈折率は、好ましくは1.60以上、より好ましくは1.62以上、さらに好ましくは1.64以上であり、また、好ましくは1.75以下、より好ましくは1.70以下、さらに好ましくは1.68以下、特に好ましくは1.66以下である。
 高屈折率層は、好ましくは、金属および/または金属酸化物と、任意にバインダー樹脂とからなる層である。中でも、金属酸化物とバインダー樹脂とからなる層であることが好ましい。かかる金属酸化物としては、ゾル−ゲル法により得られた金属酸化物膜を挙げることができる。この場合、かかる金属酸化物膜が高屈折率層となり得る。金属酸化物膜は、任意にバインダー樹脂を含有していてもよい。また、金属酸化物として、金属酸化物微粒子を挙げることができる。この場合、かかる金属酸化物粒子は、上述したゾル−ゲル法により形成された金属酸化物膜中に分散して存在する態様や、バインダー樹脂中に分散して存在する態様を挙げることができる。
 上記において高屈折率層における膜や微粒子を形成する金属酸化物の種類としては、上記屈折率を満足するものであれば特に限定はされないが、得られる膜の強度を高くすることができ、また適度な屈折率とすることができるといった観点から、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、酸化セリウム、酸化ジルコニウム、インジウム含有酸化錫、アンチモン含有酸化錫およびアンチモン酸亜鉛からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種であることが好ましい。中でも膜強度が特に高いこと、また微粒子の場合においては分散性に優れるといった観点から、酸化チタン、アンチモン含有酸化錫、酸化ジルコニウムが特に好ましい。これら金属酸化物は、1種を単独で用いても2種以上を組み合わせて用いても構わない。すなわち、2種以上の金属酸化物からなる金属酸化物膜であってもよいし、2種以上の金属酸化物微粒子を含有する態様であってもよい。また、金属酸化物膜中に金属酸化物微粒子を含有する態様においては、膜を形成する金属酸化物と微粒子を形成する金属酸化物とは同じであってもよいし、異なるものであってもよい。
 高屈折率層におけるバインダー樹脂としては、アクリル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、メラミン樹脂、アルキド樹脂、シロキサン系ポリマー、有機シラン縮合物等が挙げられる。中でも高屈折率となるような骨格を有するものを好ましく用いればよい。バインダー樹脂は、膜強度の観点から、熱、紫外線、電子線等によって硬化して形成されたものであることが好ましい。バインダー樹脂により接着性をより向上することができる。
 本発明において特に好ましい高屈折率層の態様は、金属酸化物膜中に、バインダー樹脂を含有している態様であり、特に好ましくは、酸化チタン膜中に、有機シラン縮合物を含有している態様である。
 高屈折率層に好ましく用いられる金属酸化物としては、市販品を用いることもできる。例えば、酸化ジルコニウム:HXU−110JC(住友大阪セメント社製)、酸化チタン:ナノテックTi−トル(シーアイ化成製)、酸化亜鉛:ナノテックZnO−Xylene(シーアイ化成製)、酸化セリウム:ニードラール(多木化学製)、インジウム含有酸化錫:三菱マテリアル社製の製品、アンチモン含有酸化錫:SN−100D(石原産業社製)、アンチモン酸亜鉛:セルナックスシリーズ(日産化学工業(株)製)等が挙げられる。
(低屈折率層)
 低屈折率層は、屈折率が1.40~1.60の層である。このような屈折率範囲とすることによって、本発明における他の層との相互作用により、骨見え抑制効果により優れる。かかる屈折率は高すぎても低すぎても骨見え抑制効果は低くなる傾向にある。かかる観点から、低屈折率層の屈折率は、好ましくは1.42以上、より好ましくは1.43以上、さらに好ましくは1.44以上であり、また、好ましくは1.55以下、より好ましくは1.50以下、さらに好ましくは1.48以下である。
 低屈折率層は、上記屈折率を満足するものであれば特に限定されず、バインダー樹脂からなる層であってもよいし、金属酸化物からなる層であってもよいし、バインダー樹脂と金属酸化物とからなる層であってもよい。また、低屈折率の有機粒子を含有することができる。金属酸化物としては、ゾル−ゲル法により得られた金属酸化物膜を挙げることができる。この場合、かかる金属酸化物膜が低屈折率層となり得る。金属酸化物膜は、任意にバインダー樹脂を含有していてもよい。また、金属酸化物として、金属酸化物微粒子を挙げることができる。この場合、かかる金属酸化物粒子は、上述したゾル−ゲル法により形成された金属酸化物膜中に分散して存在する態様や、バインダー樹脂中に分散して存在する態様を挙げることができる。
 上記において低屈折率層における膜や微粒子を形成する金属酸化物の種類としては、好適な低屈折率を有する層が形成できる観点から、特に好ましくはシリカが挙げられる。また、有機粒子として有機シラン系の珪素化合物や、フッ素化合物等の低屈折率有機粒子を含有することにより、より好適な低屈折率を得ることができる。また、層中にボイド形成剤を含有する等により空隙を形成することにより、屈折率を低くすることもできる。
 低屈折率層におけるバインダー樹脂としては、アクリル樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、メラミン樹脂、アルキド樹脂、シロキサン系ポリマー、有機シラン縮合物等が挙げられる。中でも低屈折率となるような骨格を有するものを好ましく用いればよい。バインダー樹脂は、膜強度の観点から、熱、紫外線、電子線等によって硬化して形成されたものであることが好ましい。
 本発明において特に好ましい低屈折率層の態様は、金属酸化物膜からなる態様であり、ゾル−ゲル法により形成されたシリカ膜が特に好ましい。
 本発明においては、上記のような高屈折率層と低屈折率層とを、上述したような配置で備えることにより、本発明における他の層との相乗効果により骨見えが抑制される。
 また、高屈折率層の屈折率を上記範囲とすると同時に、厚みを、好ましくは50~250nm、より好ましくは100~200nm、さらに好ましくは125~175nmとすることにより、さらに骨見え抑制の向上効果を高くすることができる。また、低屈折率層の屈折率を上記範囲とすると同時に、厚みを、好ましくは5~50nm、より好ましくは10~45nm、さらに好ましくは20~40nmとすることにより、さらに骨見え抑制の向上効果を高くすることができる。さらに、各層の厚みを同時に前記好ましい範囲とすることにより、骨見え抑制の向上効果をさらに高くすることができる。
<その他の層>
 本発明の積層体は、本発明の目的を阻害しない範囲において、他の層を有していてもよい。例えば、ポリエステルフィルムの光学調整層とは反対側の面に、他の光学部材と貼り合せるための粘着層を有していても良い。また、第1易接着層の上に、例えばハードコート層等の平滑化層を有して、その上に光学調整層を有してもよい。この際は、かかる平滑化層は、本発明における第1易接着層とも光学調整層(または高屈折率層)とも好適な接着性を示すものである。そうすることで、結果としてポリエステルフィルムと光学調整層(または高屈折率層)との接着性を確保できることとなる。
<第2易接着層>
 本発明においては、ポリエステルフィルムの第1易接着層とは反対側の面に、第2易接着層を有することができる。かかる第2易接着層は、ハードコート層などの機能層を積層する際に、ポリエステルフィルムと該機能層との接着性を向上させるための層である。
 第2易接着層は、下記共重合ポリエステル樹脂を第2易接着層の質量を基準として70質量%以上、好ましくは80質量%以上、さらに好ましくは85質量%以上、特に好ましくは90質量%以上含有する層である。共重合ポリエステル樹脂の割合が70質量%以上であることにより、ハードコート層などの機能層との接着性が良好となり、また、第2易接着層の屈折率を適正な範囲とすることができるので光の干渉斑を抑制することができる。さらに、第2易接着層のガラス転移温度(Tg)も適正な範囲となって造膜性が向上し、第2易接着層のひび割れが低減され、かかるひび割れに起因した接着性低下を抑制することができ、接着性に優れる。
 なお、配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムの面方向平均屈折率は通常1.66程度あり、機能層として通常用いられるアクリル系樹脂系ハードコート層の屈折率は1.52程度であるので、第2易接着層の屈折率は1.57~1.62の範囲が好ましく、1.58~1.61の範囲がより好ましく、特に好ましくは1.59~1.60の範囲である。かかる屈折率は、後述する共重合ポリエステル樹脂を採用することにより容易に達成することができる。
 第2易接着層の厚みは、好ましくは50~100nm、さらに好ましくは70~90nmである。厚みをこの範囲にすることで、そのうえにアクリル系ハードコート層等の機能層を設けたときに、光の干渉斑を抑制する効果がより高まるので好ましい。
(第2易接着層の共重合ポリエステル樹脂)
 第2易接着層に用いられる共重合ポリエステル樹脂は、目的とする作用効果によって、以下に説明する態様を選択することができる。なお、かかる共重合ポリエステル樹脂は、目的を阻害しない限りにおいて第1易接着層のポリエステル樹脂としても用いることができ、それによりかかる共重合ポリエステル樹脂を採用することによる効果を第1易接着層に付与することができる。以下、第1易接着層および第2易接着層をまとめて易接着層と呼称する場合がある。
<共重合ポリエステル樹脂の好ましい態様1(共重合ポリエステル樹脂1)>
 第1および第2易接着層等の塗布層を形成するに際して、配向完了前のポリエステルフィルム上に塗布層を形成するための塗液を塗布した後に配向結晶化を完了させる、所謂インラインコーティング法がしばしば用いられる。しかしながら、我々の検討によれば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム上に塗布する場合には、延伸工程で発生する塗布層の割れのためと推定されるが、接着性についてさらなる改善が望まれる場合があることが判明した。
 本態様は、例えばハードコート層などの機能層との優れた接着性、および該機能層形成後の光の干渉斑(色斑感)抑制を目的とするにあたって、特に好適な共重合ポリエステル樹脂の態様である。
 本態様の第2易接着層に用いられる共重合ポリエステル樹脂は、該共重合ポリエステルの全ジカルボン酸成分(100モル%)を基準として、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分を60~90モル%、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を合計15~50モル%、前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満含む共重合ポリエステルである。
 ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が上記範囲にあることにより、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率を高くすることができ、容易に第2易接着層の屈折率を上述の好ましい範囲とすることができ、光の干渉斑を抑制することができる。また、溶剤に対する第2易接着層の耐膨潤性も良好なものとなる。このナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が下限未満になると、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率が低くなるため、結果として第2易接着層の屈折率が低くなって光の干渉斑を抑制する効果が不十分となる。さらに有機溶剤に対する膨潤性が大きくなる(耐溶剤性が悪化)ため、ハードコート層などの機能層用塗布液中の有機溶剤に接触した際に膨潤して第2易接着層の厚み斑に起因する干渉斑が発生しやすくなるだけでなく、耐ブロッキング性も低下するため好ましくない。他方、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が多くなるほど共重合ポリエステルの屈折率は大きくなるので、第2易接着層としては他の成分(例えば後述する架橋剤やその他の成分等)の割合を増やすことができる。しかし、同時に共重合ポリエステルのガラス転移温度(Tg)が高くなって第2易接着層のガラス転移温度も高くなる傾向にあり、第2易接着層の造膜性が低下して、接着性が低下しやすくなる。したがって、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の含有量の好ましい下限は65モル%であり、好ましい上限は85モル%、さらに好ましくは80モル%、特に好ましくは70モル%である。ここでナフタレンジカルボン酸成分としては、2,7−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分や2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分、1,4−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分等があげられるが、なかでも2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分が好ましい。
 また、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を合計15~50モル%含有している。好ましくは、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分を0~40モル%および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を0~50モル%を含有し、かつ該アルキレンジカルボン酸成分と該アルキレングリコール成分の合計が15~50モル%となるように含有している態様である。このため、共重合ポリエステルのTgを低くすることができ、第2易接着層のTgを低くすることができる。その結果、配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム上に第2易接着層を形成する際にしばしば採用されるインラインコーティング法でも、第2易接着層の造膜性に優れているので、乾燥・延伸条件下で第2易接着層に割れ(クラック)が発生するのを抑制し、接着性に優れたフィルムが得られる。特に、配向ポリエステルフィルムの製造に同時二軸延伸法を採用し、第2易接着層の形成にインラインコーティング法を採用する場合には、予熱・乾燥温度が比較的低くなりやすいために本態様を採用する効果が大きく特に好ましい。また、耐ブロッキング性にも優れる。
 上記アルキレンジカルボン酸成分と上記アルキレングリコール成分の合計量が下限未満になると、共重合ポリエステルのTgが十分には下がらないため、接着性が不十分なものとなる。他方、上記アルキレンジカルボン酸成分またはアルキレングリコール成分が上限を超えるか、両者の合計が上限を超える場合には、耐ブロッキング性が低下するだけでなく、他の共重合成分の含有量が少なくなることとなる結果、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率が低くなって光の干渉斑を抑制する効果が不十分となる。また、第2易接着層の耐溶剤性も低下する恐れがある。そのような観点から、アルキレンジカルボン酸成分とアルキレングリコール成分の合計量は、20~50モル%の範囲とするのが好ましい。
 好ましく用いられる炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分(炭素数4~10のアルキレン基を有するジカルボン酸成分)としては、例えば1,4−ブタンジカルボン酸成分、1,6−ヘキサンジカルボン酸成分、1,4−シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸成分、1,8−オクタンジカルボン酸成分、1,10−デカンジカルボン酸成分等をあげることができる。中でも、適切なTgが得易いという観点から、炭素数4~8のアルキレン基を有するジカルボン酸成分が好ましく、炭素数4~6のアルキレン基を有するジカルボン酸成分がさらに好ましい。また、好ましく用いられる炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分としては、例えば1,4−ブタンジオール成分、1,6−ヘキサンジオール成分、1,4−シクロヘキサンジオール成分、1,8−オクタンジオール成分、1,10−デカンジオール成分等を挙げることができる。中でも、適切なTgが得易いという観点から、炭素数4~8のアルキレングリコール成分が好ましく、炭素数4~6のアルキレングリコール成分がさらに好ましい。
 なお、共重合ポリエステルに他の共重合成分を含有させて他の機能を付与しようとする場合は、酸成分として含有させる方が容易であり、また重合反応もしやすいため、酸成分に共重合の余地を残しておくという観点から、上記のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分とアルキレングリコール成分の中では、アルキレングリコール成分として含有させる方がより好ましい。
 また、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満含んでいるので、共重合ポリエステルのTgを適度に低い温度に維持しながら、屈折率を高くし、好ましい範囲とすることができる。前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分の含有量が5モル%未満の場合には、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率を好ましい範囲とすることが難しくなり、光の干渉斑を抑制できない。他方20モル%以上の場合には、共重合ポリエステルのTgが高くなりすぎるため、第2易接着層の造膜性が低下して、得られるフィルムの透明性が低下するだけでなく、接着性も低下する。このような観点から、好ましい下限値は3モル%であり、さらに好ましくは5%であり、好ましい上限値は15モル%であり、さらに好ましくは10%である。好ましく用いられる前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分としては、例えば9,9−ビス[4−(2−ヒドロキシエトキシ)フェニル]フルオレン成分、9,9−ビス[4−(2−ヒドロキシエトキシ)−2−メチルフェニル]フルオレン成分を挙げることができる。
 以上に説明した本態様における第2易接着層の共重合ポリエステルは、上記の成分に加えて、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加体成分を5~25モル%、さらには10~20モル%含有していることが好ましく、これにより屈折率を維持しながら、Tgをより好ましい範囲とすることができ、接着性も向上する。なお、エチレンオキサイドの平均付加モル数はビスフェノールA1モルに対して2~4モルの範囲が適当である。
 また、上記の成分に加えて、屈折率を維持しながら共重合ポリエステルのTgをより好適な範囲とするために、テレフタル酸および/またはイソフタル酸を20~40モル%、特に24~34モル%含有していることが好ましい。なかでもイソフタル酸成分が、より適したTgを得やすいので好ましい。
 さらに本態様の共重合ポリエステルは、全酸成分を基準として、スルホン酸塩基を有するジカルボン酸成分を1~10モル%含有していることが好ましい。これにより、共重合ポリエステルを水性塗布液とする際の溶解性ないし水分散性を高めることができる。また、第2易接着層の耐溶剤性(耐膨潤性)を向上させることができる。しかし、多くなりすぎると第2易接着層の耐水性や耐ブロッキング性が低くなる傾向にあるので、2~8モル%の範囲が特に好ましい。このスルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分としては、例えば5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸成分、5−カリウムスルホイソフタル酸成分、5−リチウムスルホイソフタル酸成分、5−ホスホニウムスルホイソフタル酸成分等が挙げられるが、水分散性良化の点から、5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸成分が最も好ましい。

(ポリエステルフィルム)
 本態様においては、ポリエステルフィルムは配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムであることが好ましく、一軸配向フィルムであっても二軸配向フィルムであってもよいが、面内方向の機械的特性や熱的特性の均一性の点から二軸配向フィルムであることが好ましい。その際、面方向平均屈折率(フィルム面内において、任意の一方向の屈折率とそれに垂直な方向の屈折率との平均屈折率)は、本態様の第2易接着層を設けた上にハードコート層などの機能層を設けた際において、光の干渉斑(色斑感)の発生を抑制することができるという観点では、1.6~1.7の範囲が好ましい。

<共重合ポリエステル樹脂の好ましい態様2(共重合ポリエステル樹脂2)>
 ハードコート層等の機能層を設けるための塗布液には、溶剤として様々な溶剤が用いられるようになってきており、溶剤によっては易接着層が膨潤溶解して厚みが変動し、結果として干渉斑が抑制できなくなるという問題がある。かかる問題に対して、例えば特開2009−300658号公報や特開2009−300658号公報には、平均粒径0.2~0.7μmの比較的大きな粒径を有する粒子を添加することにより、易接着層の厚み変動が生じても、表面粗さによって干渉斑を抑制する方法が提案されている。なお、この厚み変動に係る問題は、光学調整層を形成するに際しても同様に様々な溶剤が用いられることから、骨見えが抑制できなくなる問題となる場合もある。
 本態様は、例えばハードコート層などの機能層との優れた接着性、および該機能層形成後の光の干渉斑(色斑感)抑制を目的とするにあたって、特に好適な共重合ポリエステル樹脂の態様である。
 かかる共重合ポリエステルは、例えばナフタレンジカルボン酸成分やフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分などの屈折率を増大しうる成分およびスルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分などの膨潤率を調整しうる成分を使用し、これらの共重合量を調整することによって、屈折率および膨潤率を調整すればよい。
 好ましく用いられる共重合ポリエステルとしては、例えば該共重合ポリエステルの全ジカルボン酸成分(100モル%)を基準として、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分を60~90モル%、スルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分を1~10モル%、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加体を5~25モル%含むものが挙げられる。
 ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が上記範囲にあることにより、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率を高くすることができ、容易に第2易接着層の屈折率を上述の範囲とすることができ、干渉斑を抑制することができる。また、第2易接着層の膨潤率も容易に好ましい範囲とすることができる。このナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が少なくなりすぎると、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率が低くなるため、結果として第2易接着層の屈折率が低くなって干渉斑を抑制する効果が不十分となる。他方、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の割合が多くなるほど共重合ポリエステルの屈折率は大きくなるので、第2易接着層としては他の成分(例えば後述する架橋剤やその他の成分等)の割合を増やすことができる。しかし、同時に共重合ポリエステルのガラス転移温度(Tg)が高くなって第2易接着層のガラス転移温度も高くなる傾向にあり、第2易接着層の造膜性が低下して、接着性やフィルムの透明性が低下しやすくなる。したがって、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の含有量は65モル%以上であることが好ましく、かつ85モル%以下、さらに80モル%以下、特に70モル%以下であることが好ましい。ここで、好ましいナフタレンジカルボン酸成分としては、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 また、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、スルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分を上記範囲で有することにより、共重合ポリエステルを水性塗布液とする際の溶解性ないし水分散性を高めることができる。また、第2易接着層の膨潤率を容易に好ましい範囲とすることができる。しかし、多くなりすぎると第2易接着層の耐水性や耐ブロッキング性が低くなる傾向にあるので、好ましくは2~8モル%であり、6~8モル%の範囲が特に好ましい。好ましいスルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分としては、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。。
 さらに、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加体成分を上記範囲で有することにより、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率を維持したまま、Tgを好ましい範囲とすることができ、第2易接着層の造膜性が向上して透明性に優れたフィルムを得ることができる。また、膨潤率を好ましい範囲にし易くなる。なお、エチレンオキサイドの平均付加モル数はビスフェノールA1モルに対して2~4モルの範囲が適当である。
 以上に説明した共重合ポリエステルは、上記の成分に加えて、前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満含んでいることが好ましく、共重合ポリエステルのTgを適度に低い温度に維持しながら、屈折率を好ましい範囲とすることができる。かかる成分の含有量が少なくなると共重合ポリエステルの屈折率が低くなる傾向にあり、他方多くなると共重合ポリエステルのTgが高くなり、第2易接着層の造膜性が低下してフィルムの透明性が低下する傾向にあり、接着性も低下する傾向にある。このような観点から、好ましい下限は5モル%であり、好ましい上限は15モル%であり、特に好ましくは10モル%である。好ましく用いられる前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分としては、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 さらに、上記の成分に加えて、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を合計15~50モル%含有することが好ましい。より好ましくは、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分を0~40モル%および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を0~50モル%を含有し、かつ該アルキレンジカルボン酸成分と該アルキレングリコール成分の合計が15~50モル%となるように含有している態様である。これにより、共重合ポリエステルのTgを低くすることができ、第2易接着層のTgを低くすることができる。その結果、ポリエステルフィルムがポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムであっても、第2易接着層を形成する際にしばしば採用されるインラインコーティング法でも、第2易接着層の造膜性に優れているので透明性に優れたフィルムが得られる。特に同時二軸延伸法を採用し、第2易接着層の形成にインラインコーティング法を採用する場合には、予熱・乾燥温度が比較的低くなりやすいために本態様の採用により透明性向上効果が大きく好ましい。また、接着性の向上効果を高くすることができ、耐ブロッキング性にも優れる。
 上記アルキレンジカルボン酸成分と上記アルキレングリコール成分の合計量が少なくなると、共重合ポリエステルのTgが下がりにくくなるため、得られるフィルムの透明性が低下する場合がある。他方、上記アルキレンジカルボン酸成分またはアルキレングリコール成分が多くなるか、両者の合計が多くなると、耐ブロッキング性が低下したり、共重合ポリエステルの屈折率が低下して干渉斑を抑制する効果が低下する場合がある。また、第2易接着層の膨潤率も増大する恐れがある。そのような観点から、アルキレンジカルボン酸成分とアルキレングリコール成分の合計量は、20~50モル%の範囲とするのが好ましい。
 好ましく用いられる炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分(炭素数4~10のアルキレン基を有するジカルボン酸成分)および、好ましく用いられる炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分としては、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 なお、共重合ポリエステルに他の共重合成分を含有させて他の機能を付与する場合、酸成分として含有させるのがやりやすく、また重合反応もしやすいので、上記のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分と上記アルキレングリコール成分の中では、アルキレングリコール成分として含有させる方がより好ましい。
 さらに、上記の成分に加えて、屈折率を維持しながら共重合ポリエステルのTgをより好適な範囲とするために、テレフタル酸および/またはイソフタル酸を20~40モル%、特に24~34モル%含有していることが好ましい。なかでもイソフタル酸成分が、より適したTgを得やすいので好ましい。

 本態様における第2易接着層は、以下のような態様であることが好ましい。
(屈折率)
 本態様における第2易接着層の屈折率は、1.58~1.64であることが好ましい。より好ましくは1.58~1.62、さらに好ましくは1.58~1.60、特に好ましくは1.58~1.59である。第2易接着層の屈折率がこの範囲にあることにより、後述する好ましいポリエステルフィルムの面方向平均屈折率と、通常アクリル系樹脂からなるハードコート層の屈折率(おおよそ1.52程度)との間の屈折率となるので、第2易接着層上にこのようなアクリル系樹脂からなるハードコート層等を塗設した際の干渉斑(色斑感)が抑制できる。この屈折率は、高すぎても低すぎても干渉斑の抑制が難しくなる。また、このような屈折率となるような成分、好ましくは上述した成分からなる第2易接着層とすることによって、膨潤率を好ましい範囲とし易くなる。
 このような屈折率を達成するためには、第2易接着層を構成する各成分の屈折率を調整すればよい。例えば、屈折率の高い共重合ポリエステル樹脂や粒子を用いることで、第2易接着層の屈折率を高くすることができる。特に好ましくは、上述した共重合ポリエステル樹脂2を採用すればよい。
(厚み)
 本態様において第2易接着層の厚みは、50~100nmである必要があり、好ましくは70~90nmである。第2易接着層の厚みをこの範囲にすることにより、その上にアクリル系樹脂からなるハードコート層等の低屈折率層を設けた際の干渉斑(色斑感)が抑制できる。この厚みは、薄すぎると接着性が低下しやすく、また、薄すぎても厚すぎても干渉斑の抑制が難しくなる。
(膨潤率)
 本態様における第2易接着層は、下記の方法で求められる膨潤率が下記のいずれの溶剤においても130~200%である。好ましくは130~180%、より好ましくは135~175%、さらに好ましくは139~165%である。ここで膨潤率は、フィルムの第2易接着層上に、下記UV硬化系組成物を溶剤で希釈した塗布液(固形分濃度40質量%)を塗布し、乾燥、硬化させて厚み5μmのハードコート層を形成し、ハードコート層を形成した後の第2易接着層の厚みdhと、ハードコート層を形成する前の第2易接着層の厚みd0とから、膨潤率E(%)=dh/d0×100
として求めた値である。UV硬化系組成物としては下記を使用し、溶剤としては、通常ハードコート層などを形成する際に使用される溶剤の代表となるメチルエチルケトン(MEK)、酢酸エチル、トルエン、イソプロパノール(IPA)およびプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート(PGMEA)を用い、これらの溶剤のいずれにおいても、第2易接着層の膨潤率が上記範囲となる必要がある。
UV硬化系組成物:
 ペンタエリスリトールアクリレート     :45質量%
 N−メチロールアクリルアミド       :40質量%
 N−ビニルピロリドン           :10質量%
 1−ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン: 5質量%
 この膨潤率が130%未満の場合には、ハードコート層などとの接着性が低くなる傾向にあり、他方、膨潤率が200%を超える場合には、ハードコート層などの機能層形成前後における第2易接着層の厚みの変動が大きすぎるため、干渉斑を抑制することが難しくなる。また、かかる膨潤率は、上記溶剤のいずれにおいても、上記範囲内となることが重要なのであり、いずれかの溶剤での膨潤率がこの範囲を外れると、かかる溶剤を用いてハードコート層等の機能層を形成した際に、接着性が不十分となるか干渉斑の抑制が困難となるためである。なお、この膨潤率は、溶剤の種類による変動が少ない方がハードコート層を形成した際の干渉斑抑制が容易となるので、最大の膨潤率と最少の膨潤率の差が50%以下、さらに25%以下であることが好ましい。
 このような膨潤率を達成するためには、第2易接着層に用いられる成分、特にバインダー成分を構成する共重合成分を調整し、親油性と親水性のバランスをとればよい。具体的には、前述した好ましい態様の共重合ポリエステル樹脂2を用いることができる。また、第2易接着層に架橋剤を用いることによっても膨潤率を調整することができる。架橋剤は、添加量が多くなるほど膨潤率が小さくなる傾向にある。
(ポリエステルフィルム)
 本態様における好ましいポリエステルフィルムの態様は、その面方向屈折率(フィルム面内において、任意の一方向の屈折率とそれに垂直な方向の屈折率との平均屈折率)が1.63~1.68であり、好ましくは1.64~1.67、特に好ましくは1.65~1.66の範囲である。面方向屈折率がこの範囲にあると、前述の共重合ポリエステル樹脂2を用いた第2易接着層を設けたフィルムは、その上にハードコート層のような低屈折率層を形成した際の、干渉斑発生の抑制効果に優れる。面方向屈折率は、上記範囲を外れて高すぎても低すぎても、干渉斑発生の抑制効果が低下する傾向にある。
 かかるポリエステルフィルムは、面方向屈折率が上記の要件を満足していれば、未配向フィルム、一軸配向フィルム、二軸配向フィルムのいずれであってもよいが、機械的特性や熱的特性の点から二軸配向フィルムであることが好ましい。
 本態様の第2易接着層は、例えばハードコート層などの機能層との優れた接着性および該機能層形成後の光の干渉斑抑制を主の目的とする場合は、第1易接着層を有さずに、第2易接着層をポリエステルフィルムの片面または両面に設け、積層ポリエステルフィルムとすることができる。かかる積層ポリエステルフィルムとしては、以下の態様を包含する。
1.面方向屈折率が1.63~1.68のポリエステルフィルムの少なくとも片面に、屈折率が1.58~1.64、下記の方法で求められる膨潤率がいずれの溶剤においても130~200%、かつ厚みが50~100nmである第2易接着層を有する積層ポリエステルフィルム。
 膨潤率:
 積層ポリエステルフィルムの第2易接着層上に、下記UV硬化系組成物を溶剤(メチルエチルケトン、酢酸エチル、トルエン、イソプロパノールまたはプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル)で希釈した塗布液(固形分濃度40質量%)を塗布し、乾燥、硬化させて厚み5μmのハードコート層を形成し、ハードコート層を形成した後の第2易接着層の厚みdhと、ハードコート層を形成する前の第2易接着層の厚みd0とから、膨潤率E(%)=dh/d0×100として求めた値である。
UV硬化系組成物:
 ペンタエリスリトールアクリレート     :45質量%
 N−メチロールアクリルアミド       :40質量%
 N−ビニルピロリドン           :10質量%
 1−ヒドロキシシクロヘキシルフェニルケトン: 5質量%
2.第2易接着層が、第2易接着層の質量を基準として70質量%以上の下記共重合ポリエステルを含有する、上記1に記載の積層ポリエステルフィルム。
 共重合ポリエステル:

(B2)スルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分を1~10モル%、および

(ただし、上記モル%は、共重合ポリエステルの全ジカルボン酸成分100モル%に対する値である。)
3.上記共重合ポリエステルが、さらに
(D3)前記式(I)で表わされるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満

含む、上記2に記載の積層フィルム。

<共重合ポリエステル樹脂の好ましい態様3(共重合ポリエステル樹脂3)>
 第1および第2易接着層等の塗布層を形成するに際して、配向完了前のポリエステルフィルム上に塗布層を形成するための塗液を塗布した後に配向結晶化を完了させる、所謂インラインコーティング法がしばしば用いられる。しかしながら、我々の検討によれば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム上に塗布する場合には、延伸工程で発生する塗布層の割れのためと推定されるが、接着性についてさらなる改善が望まれる場合があることが判明した。そして、かかる接着性については、特に湿熱環境下における接着性(湿熱接着性)の向上が強く要求されている。
 本態様は、例えばハードコート層などの機能層との湿熱環境下における優れた接着性、および該機能層形成後の光の干渉斑(色斑感)抑制を目的とするにあたって、特に好適な共重合ポリエステル樹脂の態様である。
 本態様の第2易接着層に用いられる共重合ポリエステル樹脂は、該共重合ポリエステルの全ジカルボン酸成分(100モル%)を基準として、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分を60~90モル%、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を合計15~50モル%、前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満、および、スルホン酸塩基を有するジカルボン酸成分を0.1~5モル%含むものである。
 ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の好ましい態様および効果は、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。本態様においては、スルホン酸塩基を有するジカルボン酸成分が必須成分であることを勘案して、含有量については、ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分の含有量の好ましい下限は65モル%であり、好ましい上限は85モル%、より好ましくは80モル%、さらに好ましくは75.9モル%、特に好ましくは70モル%である。
 また、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を合計15~50モル%含有している。かかる成分の好ましい態様および効果は、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。本態様においては、スルホン酸塩基を有するジカルボン酸成分が必須成分であることを勘案して、含有量については、好ましくは、炭素数6~12のアルキレンジカルボン酸成分を0~39.9モル%および炭素数4~10のアルキレングリコール成分を0~50モル%を含有し、かつ該アルキレンジカルボン酸成分と該アルキレングリコール成分の合計が15~50モル%となるように含有している態様である。
 また、共重合ポリエステルの全酸成分を基準として、前記式(I)で示されるフルオレン構造を有するグリコール成分を5モル%以上20モル%未満含んでいる。かかる成分の好ましい態様および効果は、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 さらに本態様においては、全酸成分を基準として、スルホン酸塩基を有するジカルボン酸成分の含有量が0.1~5モル%である。これにより、湿熱環境下における接着性を高くすることができる。多くなりすぎると湿熱環境下における接着性が低くなる傾向にあるので、0.1~4.5モル%の範囲が特に好ましい。他方、含有量が少なすぎても、溶媒(特に水溶媒)に分散させたり溶解させたりする効果が低下し、均一な塗布がし難くなる傾向にあり、それにより接着性、特に湿熱環境下における接着性が低くなる傾向にある。かかる観点から、0.2モル%以上が好ましく、0.4モル%以上がより好ましい。好ましいスルホン酸塩基を有する芳香族ジカルボン酸成分としては、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 以上に説明した本態様における第2易接着層の共重合ポリエステルは、上記の成分に加えて、ビスフェノールAのエチレンオキサイド付加体成分を5~25モル%、さらには10~20モル%含有していることが好ましい。かかる成分の好ましい態様および効果は、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1と同様である。
 また、上記の成分に加えて、屈折率を維持しながら共重合ポリエステルのTgをより好適な範囲とするために、テレフタル酸および/またはイソフタル酸を20~39.9モル%、特に24~34モル%含有していることが好ましい。なかでもイソフタル酸成分が、より適したTgを得やすいので好ましい。

(ポリエステルフィルム)
 本態様においては、ポリエステルフィルムは配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムであることが好ましく、一軸配向フィルムであっても二軸配向フィルムであってもよいが、面内方向の機械的特性や熱的特性の均一性の点から二軸配向フィルムであることが好ましい。その際、面方向平均屈折率(フィルム面内において、任意の一方向の屈折率とそれに垂直な方向の屈折率との平均屈折率)は、本態様の第2易接着層を設けた上にハードコート層などの機能層を設けた際において、光の干渉斑(色斑感)の発生を抑制することができるという観点では、1.6~1.7の範囲が好ましい。
 本態様の第2易接着層は、例えばハードコート層などの機能層との湿熱環境下における優れた接着性および該機能層形成後の光の干渉斑抑制を主の目的とする場合は、第1易接着層を有さずに、第2易接着層をポリエステルフィルムの片面または両面に設け、積層ポリエステルフィルムとすることができる。かかる積層ポリエステルフィルムとしては、以下の態様を包含する。

 以上に詳述した共重合ポリエステルは、従来公知のポリエステル製造技術により製造することができる。例えば2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸またはそのエステル形成性誘導体、イソフタル酸またはそのエステル形成性誘導体および5−ナトリウムスルホイソフタル酸またはそのエステル形成性誘導体などの酸成分を、テトラメチレングリコール、9,9−ビス[4−(2−ヒドロキシエトキシ)フェニル]フルオレン、ビスフェノールAエチレンオキサイド付加体成分などのジオール成分と反応せしめてモノマーもしくはオリゴマーを形成し、その後真空下で重縮合せしめることによって所定の固有粘度の共重合ポリエステルとする方法で製造できる。その際、反応を促進する触媒、例えばエステル化もしくはエステル交換触媒、重縮合触媒を用いることができ、また種々の添加剤、例えば安定剤等を添加することもできる。
 また、共重合ポリエステルは、塗液としてフィルムの少なくとも片面に塗布されるが、フィルムを製膜する際に塗布するインラインコーティング法が好ましいので、該共重合ポリエステルを水分散体として用いることが好ましい。水分散体とする方法は特に限定する必要はなく、従来公知の方法を採用すればよい。
(その他の成分)
 本発明において第2易接着層に用いられる共重合ポリエステルは、上記以外の酸成分やジオール成分を含有していてもよく、酸成分としては、例えば、フタル酸、無水フタル酸などを例示することができ、またジオール成分としては、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、ジプロピレングリコール、キシレングリコール、ジメチロールプロパンなどを例示することができる。さらに若干量であれば、マレイン酸、イタコン酸等の不飽和酸成分、トリメリット酸、ピロメリット酸等の多官能酸成分、グリセリン、トリメチロールプロパンなどの多官能ヒドロキシ成分や、ポリ(エチレンオキシド)グリコール、ポリ(テトラメチレンオキシド)グリコール等のポリ(アルキレンオキシド)グリコール成分を用いてもよい。本発明においては、特にジオール成分としては、上述の必須あるいは好ましいジオール成分を必須あるいは好ましい含有量で含有し、その余のジオール成分がエチレングリコール成分である態様が好ましい。

 第2易接着層にかかる架橋剤を含有させることによって、第2易接着層の耐溶剤性(耐膨潤性)および耐ブロッキング性を向上させることができるが、多くなりすぎると共重合ポリエステル樹脂の割合が少なくなり、第2易接着層の屈折率が低下して光の干渉斑を抑制することが難しくなるだけでなく、第2易接着層が硬くなって接着性も低下する傾向にあるので、架橋剤の含有割合は、第2易接着層の質量100質量%あたり、1~30質量%の範囲とするのが好ましく、特に5~10重量%の範囲とするのが好ましい。
 これらの架橋剤のうち特にオキサゾリン系架橋剤が、取扱い易さや塗布液のポットライフ等の点から好ましい。

(ただし、上記モル%は、架橋性付加重合体の全モノマーユニット100モル%に対する値である。
 これにより、上述の共重合ポリエステル樹脂を採用することによる第2易接着層の割れ抑制による接着性向上と併せて、湿熱環境下における接着性に優れたものとすることができる。

 第2易接着層中の上記架橋性付加重合体の含有量は、第2易接着層の質量を基準として好ましくは1~30質量%であるが、含有量が少ないと、湿熱環境下における接着性が低下する傾向にあり、上記下限未満であると湿熱環境下における接着性に劣るものとなる。かかる観点から、架橋性付加重合体の含有量は、より好ましくは2質量%以上、さらに好ましくは3質量%以上である。他方、含有量が多いと、第2接着層の屈折率が低下する傾向にあり、よって上記上限を超えると干渉斑に劣るものとなる。かかる観点から、より好ましくは20質量%以下、さらに好ましくは10質量%以下である。
 本態様においては、第2易接着層に、上述の架橋性付加重合体とは異なる架橋剤を、本態様の目的を阻害しない範囲において配合し、併用することができる。かかる架橋剤としては、エポキシ系架橋剤、メラミン系架橋剤、イソシアネート系架橋剤などを例示することができ、これらは1種類を用いてもよく、2種類以上を併用してもよい。

<その他の成分>
 本発明の第2易接着層には、本発明の目的を阻害しない範囲内で各種添加剤を配合することができる。例えばフィルムの滑り性、耐傷付き性、塗布時の濡れ性などを改善するために、粒子、ワックス類、界面活性剤、濡れ調整剤等を添加してもよく、その他帯電防止剤、紫外線吸収剤などを配合してもよい。
 例えば粒子を添加することによって、フィルムの滑性、耐傷付き性を向上することができる。かかる粒子としては、有機粒子、無機粒子、有機無機複合粒子のいずれでもよいが、透明性を保持したまま耐傷付き性も向上させるという観点から、粒径の大きな粒子(大粒子)と、粒径の小さな粒子(小粒子)の両方を含有することが好ましい。
 大粒子の平均粒径は、80~1000nmの範囲が適当であり、より好ましくは100~400nmの範囲、さらに好ましくは130~350nmの範囲である。これにより滑性、耐傷付き性に優れる。なお、大粒子は第2易接着層から脱落しやすいため、無機粒子表面を有機物(例えばアクリル)で被覆した有機無機複合粒子であることが好ましい。
 第2易接着層における大粒子の含有量は、第2易接着層の質量に対して、好ましくは0.1~5質量%、さらに好ましくは0.1~1質量%であり、大粒子を添加する効果がより得やすい。
 小粒子の平均粒径は、10nm以上、100nm未満の範囲が適当であり、より好ましくは20~80nm、さらに好ましくは30~60nmである。これにより耐ブロッキングに優れる。小粒子は、硬度の観点から、無機粒子であることが好ましく、金属酸化物粒子であることが好ましい。金属酸化物粒子としては、シリカ粒子、アルミナ粒子、チタニア粒子、ジルコニア粒子等が挙げられる。中でも、コストに優れるという観点から、シリカ粒子、チタニア粒子が好ましい。
 第2易接着層における小粒子の含有量は、第2易接着層の質量に対して、好ましくは0.1~5質量%、さらに好ましくは1~3質量%であり、小粒子を添加する効果がより得やすい。
 第2易接着層には、界面活性剤を含有することができる。第2易接着層を形成するための塗液に界面活性剤を含有することで、塗液の塗工性を向上させることができる。かかる界面活性剤としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムへの塗工性を高める効果を奏するものであれば特に限定されず、例えばノニオン系界面活性剤、カチオン系界面活性剤、アニオン系界面活性剤、両性界面活性剤のいずれを用いることもできる。なかでも特に発泡が少なく塗工性が良好であるという観点からノニオン系界面活性剤が好ましい。ノニオン系界面活性剤としては、例えばポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテルやポリオキシプロピレンアルキルエーテルおよびポリオキシエチレンプロピレン共重合体アルキルエーテルが好ましく挙げられる。
 界面活性剤を用いる場合は、その添加量としては、第2易接着層の質量に対して20質量%以下で用いることが好ましい。これにより接着性の向上効果が高くなる傾向にある。かかる観点から、より好ましくは15質量%以下、さらに好ましくは10質量%以下である。また、上述した塗工性の観点から添加量の下限は好ましくは1質量%であり、より好ましくは3質量%以上、さらに好ましくは5質量%以上である。
<ポリエステルフィルムの製造方法>
 本発明におけるポリエステルフィルムを製造するための方法について、一例を挙げて説明する。なお、本発明におけるポリエステルフィルムは、これに限定されるものではない。
 本発明におけるポリエステルフィルムは、例えば上記ポリエステルをフィルム状に溶融押出し、キャスティングドラムで冷却固化させ未延伸フィルムとし、この未延伸フィルムをTg~(Tg+60)℃にて長手方向(製膜機械軸方向のこと。縦方向またはMDと呼称する場合がある。)に1回もしくは2回以上、合計の倍率が3~6倍になるよう延伸し、一軸延伸フィルムを形成する。ここでTgは、フィルムを構成するポリエステルのガラス転移温度である。好ましくは、ここで後述する第1易接着層を形成するための塗液を塗布する。次いでTg~(Tg+60)℃で幅方向(製膜機械軸方向と厚み方向とに垂直な方向のこと。横方向またはTDと呼称する場合がある。)に倍率が3~5倍になるように延伸し、更に必要に応じて180~230℃にて1~60秒間熱処理を行い、熱処理温度より10~20℃低い温度で幅方向に0~20%収縮させながら再熱処理を行うことにより得ることができる。
 二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの屈折率は、延伸倍率によって調整することができ、延伸倍率を高くするほど屈折率も高くすることができる。しかしながら延伸倍率の上昇に伴い熱寸法安定性が損なわれるため、延伸倍率は、長手方向および幅方向ともに3.0~4.0の範囲にすることが好ましく、より好ましくは3.3~3.8倍、さらに好ましくは3.4~3.7倍である。
 本発明においては、ポリエステルフィルムの製造において、上記のような逐次二軸延伸法が採用できるが、同時二軸延伸法を採用することもできる。その際、延伸条件等は上述の条件と同様である。この際は、易接着層を形成するための塗液を塗布するのは、未延伸フィルムに塗布することになる。
 本発明に使用するポリエステルフィルムの厚みは20~200μmの範囲であることが好ましい。特に静電容量式タッチセンサーに用いられる場合、所定の静電容量を確保するため、コントローラーICの特性に合わせて適宜選択することができる。
<積層体の製造方法>
 本発明の積層体を製造するための方法について、一例を挙げて説明する。なお、本発明の積層体は、これに限定されるものではない。
(第1易接着層の形成方法)
 第1易接着層は、第1易接着層を形成するための塗液(以下、第1易接着塗液と呼称する場合がある。)を、ポリエステルフィルムの上に塗布して、乾燥、必要に応じて硬化することにより形成することができる。好ましくは、上記ポリエステルフィルムの製造工程中において第1易接着塗液を塗布して、第1易接着層を形成する、いわゆるインラインコーティング法である。これにより、ポリエステルフィルムと第1易接着層との密着性を高くすることができる。また、第1易接着層の厚みがごく薄いとしても、高度に正確に厚みを制御することが可能となる。
 第1易接着塗液は、上述した第1易接着層を構成する成分を混合し、必要に応じて溶媒で希釈して得ることができる。ここで各成分は、そのまま添加してもよいし、あらかじめ適当な溶媒に溶解したり、分散したりして添加してもよいし、適当な溶媒で希釈して添加してもよい。塗液の濃度は、塗液の粘度、塗布厚み、コーティング方式等により適宜設定することができる。
 第1易接着層を形成するためのコーティング方式としては、従来公知の方法を採用することができる。例えば、ロールコート法(グラビアロールコート法等)、スプレーコート法等を挙げることができる。
(高屈折率層および低屈折率層の形成方法)
 高屈折率層および低屈折率層は、湿式法、乾式法のいずれの方法でも形成することができる。適した任意の方法によって、第1易接着層の上に高屈折率層を形成したり、また、さらに高屈折率層の上に低屈折率層を形成したりして、光学調整層を形成すればよい。
 湿式法では、ドクターナイフ、バーコーター、グラビアロールコーター、カーテンコーター、ナイフコーター、スピンコータ−等、スプレー法、浸漬法等によって、高屈折率層を形成するための塗液(以下、高屈折率塗液と呼称する場合がある。)や低屈折率層を形成するための塗液(以下、低屈折率塗液と呼称する場合がある。)を、層を形成したい面に塗布して塗膜を形成し、かかる塗膜を乾燥、必要に応じて熱、紫外線、電子線等により硬化することにより、高屈折率層および低屈折率層を形成することができる。かかる塗液はゾルであってもよく、それによれば金属酸化物膜が得られる。なお、乾燥条件や硬化条件は、適宜選択すればよい。塗液の溶媒にもよるが、乾燥温度としては、例えば50~100℃、好ましくは60~90℃である。硬化における紫外線や電子線の照射強度としては、例えば100~2000mJ/mである。塗液の固形分濃度も、目的とする塗布量や用いる塗布法方によって適宜選択することができる。例えば1~70質量%である。
 湿式方によれば、バインダー樹脂に金属酸化物微粒子を含有する層や、ゾル−ゲル法により金属酸化物膜からなる層や、金属酸化物膜に金属酸化物粒子、有機粒子、バインダー樹脂を含有する層を形成するのに好適である。
 乾式法ではスパッタリング法、真空蒸着法、イオンプレーティング法等のPVD法あるいは印刷法、CVD法などを適応することができる。乾式方によれば、金属からなる層や、金属酸化物膜膜からなる層を形成するのに好適である。なお、条件は、ターゲットの種類や、目的とする層の厚み等を勘案して適宜調整すればよい。
<透明導電性フィルム>
 本発明においては、上記で得られた積層体の光学調整層の上に、特には低屈折率層の上に、屈折率1.9~2.3の透明導電層を形成して、透明導電性フィルムを得ることができる。
 本発明において透明導電層は、上記屈折率範囲であれば特に制限は無いが、例えば結晶質の金属あるいは結晶質の金属化合物からなる層を挙げることができる。透明導電層を構成する成分としては、例えば酸化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム、酸化チタン、酸化マグネシウム、酸化亜鉛、酸化インジウム、酸化錫等の金属酸化物が挙げられる。これらのうち酸化インジウムを主成分とした結晶質の層であることが好ましく、特に結晶質のITO(Indium Tin Oxide)からなる層が好ましく用いられる。透明導電層が結晶質の膜であると、タッチパネルに要求される環境信頼性が向上する傾向にある。結晶化の手法は特に限定されるものではないが、例えば120~160℃、60~90分程度の熱処理加工により結晶化させることができる。
 また、ポリアセチレン、ポリパラフェニレン,ポリチオフェン,ポリエチレンジオキシチオフェン、ポリピロール,ポリアニリン,ポリアセン、ポリフェニレンビニレン等の導電性高分子からなる層も採用することができる。
 透明導電層の膜厚は、透明性と導電性の点から5~50nmであることが好ましい。更に好ましくは5~30nmである。透明導電層の膜厚が5nm未満では抵抗値の経時安定性に劣る傾向が有り、また50nmを超えると表面抵抗値が低下する傾向にある。また、膜の色調が強くなり、パターンが強調されやすくなる傾向にある。
 本発明の透明導電性フィルムをタッチパネルに用いる場合、タッチパネルの消費電力の低減と回路処理上の必要等から、厚み10~30nmにおいて透明導電層の表面抵抗値が100~1000Ω/□、より好ましくは140~600Ω/□の範囲を示す透明導電層を用いることが好ましい。
<透明導電性フィルムの製造方法>
 透明導電層は、公知の手法にて形成することが可能であり、例えばDCマグネトロンスパッタリング法、RFマグネトロンスパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法、真空蒸着法、パルスレーザーデポジション法等の物理的形成法(Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD))等を用いることができるが、大面積に対して均一な膜厚の金属化合物層を形成するという工業生産性に着目すると、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング法が望ましい。なお、上記物理的形成法(PVD)のほかに、化学気相堆積法(Chemical Vapor Deposition(CVD))、ゾルゲル法などの化学的形成法を用いることもできるが、膜厚制御の観点からはスパッタリング法が好ましい。
 なお、本発明における透明導電層は、パターン化されている。ここでパターン化とは、規定の形状に透明導電層が存在している箇所と、存在していない箇所とが形成されている態様をいう。すなわち、本発明の積層体の一部に透明導電層が形成された態様となる。規定の形状とは、静電容量方式タッチパネルの電極として用いることができる、公知の形状であればよい。例えば細線状やタイヤモンド状のパターンがある。パターニングの方法は特に限定されるものではなく、従来公知のエッチング方法を用いることができる。
<第2易接着層の形成方法>
 第2易接着層は、第2易接着層を形成するための塗液(以下、第2易接着塗液と呼称する場合がある。)を、ポリエステルフィルムの上に塗布して、乾燥、必要に応じて硬化することにより形成することができる。好ましくは、上記ポリエステルフィルムの製造工程中において第2易接着塗液を塗布して、第2易接着層を形成する、いわゆるインラインコーティング法である。これにより、ポリエステルフィルムと第2易接着層との密着性を高くすることができる。また、第2易接着層の厚みがごく薄いとしても、高度に正確に厚みを制御することが可能となる。特に好ましくは、ポリエステルフィルムの製造工程中において、第1易接着塗液を塗布した面と反対面に第2易接着塗液を塗布し、第1易接着層と第2易接着層を同時に形成する製造方法である。
 第2易接着塗液は、上述した第2易接着層を構成する成分を混合し、必要に応じて溶媒で希釈して得ることができる。ここで各成分は、そのまま添加してもよいし、あらかじめ適当な溶媒に溶解したり、分散したりして添加してもよいし、適当な溶媒で希釈して添加してもよい。塗液の濃度は、塗液の粘度、塗布厚み、コーティング方式等により適宜設定することができる。
 第2易接着層を形成するためのコーティング方式としては、従来公知の方法を採用することができる。例えば、ロールコート法(グラビアロールコート法等)、スプレーコート法等を挙げることができる。
 第1易接着層を形成する前に、第2易接着層を形成することができる。また、目的によっては、ポリエステルフィルムの両面に第2易接着層を形成することもできる。以下は、このような場合において第2易接着層を形成するための特に好ましい製造方法について説明である。
 第2易接着層を有するポリエステルフィルムは、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを製造する製膜工程と、第2易接着層を形成する塗布工程とを経て製造される。製膜工程は、逐次二軸延伸法であってもよいし、同時二軸延伸法であってもよいが、同時二軸延伸法であれば、製膜中にフィルム表面に傷が付き難く、光学用途に用いるフィルムを製造するのに適しているので好ましい。また、塗布工程は、フィルムの製膜工程の後(所謂オフラインコーティング法)であってもよいし、フィルムの製膜工程の中(所謂インラインコーティング法)であってもよいが、インラインコーティングであれば、厚みの薄い塗布層を均一に得ることが容易であり、また強固な塗布層が得られるため好ましい。さらに、生産性にも優れる。
 第2易接着層において、共重合ポリエステル樹脂1や3を用いて、造膜性向上による易接着性向上の効果を奏するのは、配向が完了する前の未延伸フィルムまたは部分配向フィルムに塗膜を設けた後に延伸熱固定するインラインコーティング法により製造する場合である。製膜方法は、逐次二軸延伸法であってもよいし、同時二軸延伸法であってもよいが、同時二軸延伸法では、二軸を同時に延伸するために、第2易接着層を形成するための塗液を塗布後に延伸するに際しては、第2易接着層の造膜性がより厳しいものとなる。そのため、特にこのような場合において上述した共重合ポリエステル樹脂1や3を用いた態様はとりわけ有用である。
 以下、ポリエステルとしてポリエチレンテレフタレートを用い、同時二軸延伸法でインラインコーティング法を採用した場合の好ましい方法について説明する。まず、十分に乾燥したポリエチレンテレフタレートをTm+10℃ないしTm+30℃(ただし、Tmはポリエチレンテレフタレートの融点)の温度で溶融し、シート状に押出し、冷却ドラムで冷却して未延伸フィルムとする。次いで、該未延伸フィルムにおいて第2易接着層を形成したい側の表面に、第2易接着層を形成するための塗液をロールコーターで塗布して、塗膜を有する未延伸フィルムをえる。このとき、得られるフィルムにおける第2易接着層の厚みが好ましくは50~100nm、さらに好ましくは70~90nmとなるように塗布する。次いでこれを、90~110℃で予熱し、同時二軸延伸機で、二軸方向に同時に、TgないしTg+70℃の温度(ただし、Tgはポリエチレンテレフタレートのガラス転移温度)で、縦方向(製膜機械軸方向、長手方向またはMD)に好ましくは2.5~5.0倍、さらに好ましくは3.0~4.0倍、横方向(製膜機械軸方向に垂直な方向、幅方向またはTD)に好ましくは2.5~5.0倍、さらに好ましくは3.0~4.0倍で延伸した後に、(Tg+60℃)~Tmの温度で熱固定し、好ましくは熱収縮率を調整するために熱弛緩処理することによって、配向ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムの上に第2易接着層を有する積層フィルムを得ることができる。なお、かかる延伸温度は、第2易接着層における共重合ポリエステルのガラス転移温度よりも45℃以上高い温度であることが好ましく、より好ましくは50℃以上、さらに好ましくは55℃以上高い温度であることである。これにより第2易接着層の造膜性がより優れたものとなり、接着性の向上効果を高くすることができる。また、第2易接着層のガラス転移温度よりも40℃以上高い温度であることが好ましく、より好ましくは45℃以上、さらに好ましくは53℃以上高い温度であることであり、これによっても第2易接着層の造膜性がより優れ、接着性の向上効果を高くすることができる。次いで熱固定は、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムについては210~240℃の範囲内の温度で、1~60秒の時間熱固定処理するのが好ましい。また、塗膜は、上記工程でかかる熱により乾燥、および必要に応じて硬化し、第2易接着層となる。
 なお、第2易接着層を形成するための塗液は、第2易接着層を構成する各成分を混合して、粘度や塗布厚み等を考慮して適度に希釈して調整する。希釈に用いる溶媒としては、水が好ましく、すなわち塗液が水系であることが好ましい。塗液の固形分濃度は5~20質量%とすることが好ましく、良好な塗布外観を得ることができる。

(ヘーズ)
 本発明の積層フィルムは、JIS規格K7136に従って測定したヘーズ値が0%以上、1.0%以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.1%以上、0.8%以下、特に好ましくは0.1%以上、0.5%以下である。ヘーズは光学用途に用いる場合の重要な評価指標であり、例えばディスプレイに用いる場合には、ヘーズはディスプレイの視認性を評価する指標の1つで、ヘーズが1.0%を越える場合には、フィルムの透明性が低下してディスプレイの表示画面が白っぽく見えるため、コントラストが低下し視認性が低下することがある。ヘーズをかかる範囲にするためには、ポリエステルフィルムおよび易接着層において、粒子を用いないか、用いる場合でも前述の範囲内の径および量にとどめ、また易接着層を構成する高分子バインダーとして前述の好ましい共重合ポリエステル樹脂を用いればよい。

Among these polyesters, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate are preferable because of a good balance between mechanical properties and optical properties. In particular, polyethylene terephthalate has a refractive index after biaxial stretching (average refractive index in the plane direction) close to 1.65, and thus the average refractive index in the plane direction of the polyester film is easily in the range of 1.60 to 1.70. The refractive index adjustment with the optical adjustment layer in the invention is easy to perform, and thereby a better bone appearance suppressing effect can be obtained, which is preferable.
The polyester may be a homopolymer, but the copolymer component (copolymeric acid component or copolymer glycol component) does not impair its properties, for example, 5 mol% or less with respect to 100 mol% of the total acid component, Preferably, it may be a copolymer copolymerized at a ratio of 3 mol% or less.

The intrinsic viscosity of the polyester is preferably 0.40 dl / g or more, and more preferably 0.40 to 0.90 dl / g. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.40 dl / g, process cutting may occur frequently. If it is higher than 0.9 dl / g, melt extrusion is difficult because of high melt viscosity, and the polymerization time is long and uneconomical.
(Polyester film)
The polyester film in the present invention preferably has an average refractive index in the plane direction of 1.60 to 1.70. Thereby, it is more excellent in a bone appearance suppression effect by the synergistic effect with the other layer which comprises the laminated body of this invention. Here, the average refractive index in the plane direction is an average refractive index between a refractive index in an arbitrary direction and a refractive index in a direction perpendicular to the refractive index in the film plane, preferably the maximum refractive index in the film plane and the maximum The average refractive index of the refractive index in the direction perpendicular to the direction indicating the refractive index is shown. If the average refractive index in the plane direction is too low or too high, the effect of suppressing bone appearance is reduced. From this viewpoint, the range of the average refractive index in the plane direction of the polyester film is more preferably 1.62 or more, further preferably 1.63 or more, particularly preferably 1.64 or more, and most preferably 1.65 or more. Moreover, 1.68 or less is more preferable, 1.67 or less is further more preferable, and 1.66 or less is especially preferable.
In addition, when the average refractive index in the plane direction is in this range, as described later, when a functional layer such as a hard coat layer is provided on the surface opposite to the optical adjustment layer of the polyester film, the second easy-adhesion layer is provided. When a layer having a relatively low refractive index such as a hard coat layer is formed thereon, the occurrence of interference spots can be suppressed. In terms of suppressing such interference spots, the average refractive index in the plane direction is preferably 1.63 to 1.68, more preferably 1.64 to 1.67, and still more preferably 1.65 to 1.66. Yes, if it is too high or too low outside this range, it is difficult to suppress the occurrence of interference spots.
Such a polyester film may be any of an unoriented film, a uniaxially oriented film, and a biaxially oriented film as long as the average refractive index in the plane direction satisfies the above requirements. From the viewpoint, a biaxially oriented film is preferable.
(Polyethylene terephthalate film)
In order to achieve such an average refractive index in the plane direction, it is preferable to employ, for example, the above-described polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as the polyester constituting the film. Moreover, it is effective to adopt the conditions described later as the stretching conditions in order to achieve the average refractive index in the plane direction.
In the present invention, an oriented polyethylene terephthalate film is preferably used. The polyester constituting the oriented polyethylene terephthalate film is a polyester having an ethylene terephthalate unit of 95 mol% or more, preferably 98 mol% or more, based on all repeating units, and particularly preferably a homopolyester not using a copolymer component in combination. It is. In the case of copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate, for example, a dicarboxylic acid component such as isophthalic acid or naphthalenedicarboxylic acid or a glycol component such as diethylene glycol, butanediol, or cyclohexanediol can be used as the copolymerization component.
(Other components of polyester film)
The polyester film can contain a slippery filler such as inert particles in order to ensure transportability. On the other hand, for example, a capacitive touch sensor is formed by laminating a plurality of transparent films, and the haze of the film is integrated. Therefore, it is desired that the internal haze of each constituent film is as low as possible. Thus, from the viewpoint of maintaining high transparency in optical applications, the polyester film preferably contains no filler or substantially no filler (for example, 10 ppm or less, preferably 1 ppm or less). However, a small amount of filler may be included as a lubricant in order to prevent minute scratches in the manufacturing process and improve the film winding property. As the filler, for example, inert particles having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 2 μm, further 0.05 to 1 μm, and particularly 0.1 to 0.3 μm may be used. The blending ratio is preferably 100 ppm or less, for example, based on the mass of the layer to be blended, and may be 10 ppm or less, particularly 1 ppm or less, which is a range that does not substantially contain.

<First easy adhesive layer>
In the present invention, the adhesion between the polyester film and the optical adjustment layer can be enhanced by the first easy-adhesion layer. In the present invention, a polyester film having a first easy-adhesion layer and / or a second easy-adhesion layer described later may be referred to as a laminated polyester film.
(Refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer)
In the present invention, it is important that the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer is in the range of 1.60 to 1.65. Thereby, it is excellent in the bone appearance suppression effect by the synergistic effect with the other layer which comprises the laminated body of this invention. If the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer is too low, the optical interference becomes too large, so that the bone appearance suppressing effect cannot be obtained. Ideally, the polyester film, the first easy-adhesion layer, and the optical adjustment layer (or the high refractive index layer in the optical adjustment layer) preferably all have the same refractive index. When trying to achieve a refractive index exceeding, it tends to be difficult to increase the transparency of the first easy-adhesion layer. Considering these balances, the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer is preferably 1.61 to 1.64, more preferably 1.62 to 1.64.
The difference between the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer and the refractive index of the high refractive index layer described later is preferably 0.05 or less. According to such an embodiment, the effect of improving bone appearance suppression can be increased. The refractive index difference is more preferably 0.04 or less, and still more preferably 0.03 or less.
Moreover, it is preferable that the difference of the refractive index of a 1st easily bonding layer and the surface direction average refractive index of a polyester film is 0.05 or less. According to such an embodiment, the effect of improving bone appearance suppression can be increased. The refractive index difference is more preferably 0.04 or less, and still more preferably 0.03 or less.
(The thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer)
The thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer is 8 to 30 nm. Thereby, it is excellent in adhesiveness. Moreover, while making the refractive index of a 1st easily bonding layer into the range mentioned above, and making thickness into the said range, there exists an outstanding bone-inhibition suppression effect by interaction with the other layer in the laminated body of this invention. be able to.
The optical interference of the thin film depends on the product of the refractive index and the optical path length (film thickness). As a result of conducting further detailed studies on this, the present inventors have found that the optical adjustment layer or the high refractive index layer in the optical adjustment layer is in the refractive index range described later, and the first easy-adhesion layer is in the refractive index range. In some cases, it has been found that by controlling the film thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer within a very narrow range of 8 to 30 nm, excellent adhesiveness can be obtained while exhibiting an excellent bone appearance suppressing effect. If the thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer is too thick, the effect of suppressing bone appearance is reduced. On the other hand, if it is too thin, the adhesiveness decreases. From this viewpoint, the thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer is preferably 10 nm or more, more preferably 15 nm or more, still more preferably 18 nm or more, and preferably 25 nm or less, more preferably 22 nm or less.
(Polyester resin of the first easy-adhesion layer)
In the first easy-adhesion layer in the present invention, the polyester resin occupies 50% by mass or more based on the mass of the first easy-adhesion layer. Thereby, it is excellent in adhesiveness. From this viewpoint, the content of the polyester resin is preferably 70% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more. The upper limit of the content of the polyester resin in the first easy-adhesion layer is not particularly limited, but the polyester resin occupies the remaining part other than the components that can be preferably contained in the first easy-adhesion layer, which will be described later. What is necessary is just to be an aspect.
In this invention, although a polyester resin is used as a binder component which forms a 1st easily bonding layer, it is preferable that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of this polyester resin is 120 degrees C or less. Thereby, it is further excellent in adhesiveness. Moreover, it can be set as the 1st easily bonding layer excellent in extending | stretching followability (film-forming property), smooth and excellent in transparency. From this viewpoint, Tg is more preferably 100 ° C. or less, further preferably 80 ° C. or less, and particularly preferably 75 ° C. or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the minimum of Tg of a polyester resin is 40 degreeC, and this is further excellent in adhesiveness, and is excellent in blocking resistance. From this viewpoint, Tg is more preferably 50 ° C. or higher, and particularly preferably 60 ° C. or higher.
As this polyester resin, the polyester or copolymer polyester which consists of an acid component and a glycol component as shown below can be mentioned. In the present invention, a copolyester is preferable from the viewpoint of adhesiveness. In addition, although the monomer component which comprises the polyester concerning the following is illustrated, it is not limited to these.

It is preferable to use two or more of these acid components as a copolyester. Further, an unsaturated polybasic acid component such as maleic acid, itaconic acid and the like, and hydroxycarboxylic acid such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, etc., can also be used in a slight amount. In the present invention, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid is preferably used from the viewpoint of achieving a balance between the refractive index and the coating film strength. As content of 2, 6- naphthalene dicarboxylic acid in a polyester resin, 50 mol% or more is preferable with respect to 100 mol% of all the acid components, and 60 mol% or more is more preferable. Moreover, 90 mol% or less is preferable, 80 mol% or less is more preferable, and 70 mol% or less is more preferable. When there is too much content of this component, it exists in the tendency for the film forming property of a 1st easily bonding layer to fall. On the other hand, if the amount is too small, the effect of improving the refractive index is small, and the effect of improving the mechanical properties is small.
Examples of the glycol component include ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, xylene glycol, dimethylolpropane, poly (ethylene oxide) glycol, poly The component derived from (tetramethylene oxide) glycol etc. can be mentioned. It is preferable to use two or more of these glycol components as a copolyester. In the present invention, in order to effectively increase the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer, a fluorene structure represented by the following formula (I) such as bis (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) fluorene component is preferably used. A compound having a conjugated system, such as a glycol component, is preferably used as the copolymer component.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-I000003
(R 1 Is an alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 And R 5 Are hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an aryl group or an aralkyl group, which may be the same or different. )
As content of the glycol component which has a fluorene structure in a polyester resin, 2 mol% or more is preferable with respect to 100 mol% of all the acid components, 4 mol% or more is more preferable, and 6 mol% or more is further more preferable. Moreover, 10 mol% or less is preferable and 8 mol% or less is more preferable. When there is too much content of this component, it exists in the tendency for the film forming property of a 1st easily bonding layer to fall. On the other hand, if the amount is too small, the effect of improving the refractive index is small.
In the present invention, among these components, a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is adopted as the acid component, and at the same time, a glycol component having a fluorene structure, preferably a bis (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) fluorene component, is used as the glycol component. The embodiment adopted is preferred. Thereby, it becomes easier to set the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer within the range defined by the present invention, and at the same time, the mechanical properties are excellent, and the effect of improving adhesiveness can be enhanced. An embodiment in which these components are contained in the polyester resin at the above-described contents is preferable.
In addition, as a polyester resin constituting the first easy-adhesion layer in the present invention based on the above idea, a copolymer polyester resin constituting a second easy-adhesion layer described later can be employed. By doing so, since the same effect as the effect which employ | adopts the copolyester resin which comprises this 2nd easily bonding layer can be provided to a 1st easily bonding layer, it is preferable.
A particularly preferred embodiment of the polyester resin constituting the first easy-adhesion layer in the present invention is that the total acid component is 100 mol%, the acid component is 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid 60 to 70 mol%, and isophthalic acid 25 ~ 30 mol%, 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid is 5-10 mol%, glycol component is 10-20 mol% bisphenol A, ethylene glycol is 35-60 mol%, trimethylene glycol is 25-35 mol% %, And bis (4-hydroxyethoxyphenyl) fluorene consists of 5 to 10 mol%.
The polyester resin is preferably a polyester that is soluble or dispersible in water (which may contain some organic solvent), and it is easy to produce a coating liquid described later.
(Metal oxide particles)
In order to control the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer in the present invention, metal oxide particles having a refractive index of 1.7 to 3.0, preferably 1.8 to 2.2 may be added. preferable. As this metal oxide particle, TiO 2 (Refractive index 2.5), ZrO 2 (Refractive index 2.4), SnO 2 (Refractive index 2.0), Sb 2 O 3 (Refractive index 2.0) is exemplified, and in the present invention, it is preferable to use at least one metal oxide particle selected from the group consisting of these.
In order to achieve a high degree of transparency, in order to avoid optical scattering by the metal oxide particles in the first easy-adhesion layer, the metal oxide particles are colorless and transparent and have a particle size sufficiently small with respect to the wavelength of light. (For example, 400 nm or less, preferably 100 nm or less) is preferable. A higher refractive index is preferable because the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer can be increased with a small amount, but high refractive index metal oxide particles having a refractive index exceeding 3.0 tend to be inferior in transparency. In addition, since there are many special rare metals, the manufacturing cost tends to increase.
From such a viewpoint, as the metal oxide particles of the first easy-adhesion layer in the present invention, particles made of titanium oxide and zirconium oxide are more preferable. From the viewpoint of specific gravity, titanium oxide particles having a high refractive index improving effect in a small amount. Particularly preferred.
The addition amount of the metal oxide particles is preferably 2% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less based on the mass of the first easy-adhesion layer, and the refractive index can be efficiently maintained while maintaining transparency by making such a range. Can be high. If the amount is too large, the transparency tends to decrease. In addition, particle dropping or the like tends to occur, equipment wear occurs during coating, and stable coating tends to be difficult. On the other hand, if the amount is too small, the effect of improving the refractive index is lowered. From this viewpoint, it is more preferably 3% by mass or more, further 4% by mass or more, particularly preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 15% by mass or less, still more preferably 10% by mass or less, and further preferably 8% by mass or less. Is particularly preferred.
In order to increase the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer, as described above, means such as a method of adding a high refractive index filler such as metal oxide particles or a method of increasing the refractive index of a polyester resin as a binder component However, the use of metal oxide particles has a problem of equipment wear and is relatively difficult to add in a large amount. On the other hand, when trying to increase the refractive index of the binder component, since the glass transition temperature tends to increase at the same time, the coating film is cracked in the stretching process and the film haze is increased because it cannot follow the deformation during stretching. Such problems are likely to occur. Therefore, from these restrictions, it is necessary to appropriately balance the constitution and refractive index of the binder component (polyester resin) and the refractive index and addition rate of the metal oxide particles. The aspect which employ | adopts simultaneously is the most preferable.
(Lubricant particles)
It is preferable that the 1st easily bonding layer in this invention contains the lubricant particle for providing lubricity other than the metal oxide particle of the said specific refractive index range. By containing the lubricant particles, it is possible to impart lubricity and scratch resistance to the film.
Examples of such lubricant particles include inorganic lubricant particles such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium oxide, silicon oxide, sodium silicate, aluminum hydroxide, and carbon black, acrylic cross-linked polymers, styrene cross-linked polymers, and silicones. Examples thereof include organic lubricant particles such as resin, fluororesin, benzoguanamine resin, phenol resin, and nylon resin. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The average particle diameter of the lubricant particles is preferably 10 to 180 nm, more preferably 20 to 150 nm. The thickness of the first easy-adhesion layer of the present invention is very thin with respect to 80 to 120 nm which is the thickness of the easy-adhesion layer in a normal optical film. If it is smaller than 10 nm, sufficient lubricity and scratch resistance may not be obtained.
The content of the lubricant particles is preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass per 100% by mass of the first easy-adhesion layer. If it is less than 0.1% by mass, sufficient lubricity and scratch resistance cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10% by mass, the surface haze tends to increase, and the optical properties tend to deteriorate.
(Crosslinking agent)
In the present invention, it is preferable to add a crosslinking agent for the purpose of improving the coating strength of the first easy-adhesion layer and for enhancing the effect of improving the adhesiveness.
The crosslinking agent is preferably a compound having an oxazoline group and a polyalkylene oxide chain, more preferably an acrylic resin having an oxazoline group and a polyalkylene oxide chain, from the viewpoint of improving the coating film strength and further improving the adhesiveness. Use. An acrylic resin is preferable because it can easily copolymerize many kinds of functional groups. The acrylic resin having an oxazoline group and a polyalkylene oxide chain is preferably an acrylic resin that is soluble or dispersible in water (may contain some organic solvent). In addition, since the acrylic resin has a low refractive index, the addition of such components leads to a decrease in the refractive index of the first easy-adhesion layer, and therefore the amount of addition must be sufficiently careful.
Examples of the acrylic resin having an oxazoline group and a polyalkylene oxide chain include those containing the following monomers as components.
Examples of the monomer having an oxazoline group include 2-vinyl-2-oxazoline, 2-vinyl-4-methyl-2-oxazoline, 2-vinyl-5-methyl-2-oxazoline, 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline, Examples include 2-isopropenyl-4-methyl-2-oxazoline and 2-isopropenyl-5-methyl-2-oxazoline. These may be used alone or in a mixture of two or more. Among these, 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline is preferred because it is easily available industrially. By using an acrylic resin having an oxazoline group, the cohesive force of the first easy-adhesion layer is improved, and the adhesiveness with the optical adjustment layer or the high refractive index layer becomes stronger. Further, it is possible to impart scratch resistance to the metal roll in the film forming process or in the processing process of the optical adjustment layer or the high refractive index layer. From the viewpoint of such effects, the component is preferably contained in the acrylic resin in an amount of 10 to 50 mol%, more preferably 20 to 40 mol%, and even more preferably 25 to 35 mol%. .
Examples of the monomer having a polyalkylene oxide chain include those obtained by adding polyalkylene oxide to an ester part of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. Examples of the polyalkylene oxide chain include polymethylene oxide, polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, and polybutylene oxide.
By using an acrylic resin having a polyalkylene oxide chain, the compatibility between the polyester resin and the acrylic resin in the first easy-adhesion layer is improved as compared with an acrylic resin not containing a polyalkylene oxide chain. The transparency of the layer can be improved. From such a viewpoint, it is preferable to contain 2 to 20 mol% of this component in the acrylic resin, and more preferably 5 to 15 mol%.
The repeating unit of the polyalkylene oxide chain is preferably 3 to 100, more preferably 4 to 50, still more preferably 5 to 20. If the number of repeating units of the polyalkylene oxide chain is too small, the compatibility between the polyester resin and the acrylic resin tends to be poor, and the effect of improving the transparency of the first easy-adhesion layer tends to be low. On the other hand, if it is too large, the heat-and-moisture resistance of the first easy-adhesion layer tends to be low, and particularly the adhesiveness to the optical adjustment layer or the high refractive index layer tends to be low under high humidity and high temperature.
As the remaining monomer constituting the acrylic resin as the crosslinking agent, alkyl acrylate (preferably methyl acrylate or ethyl acrylate) or alkyl methacrylate (preferably methyl methacrylate or ethyl methacrylate) may be used.
The content of the cross-linking agent in the first easy-adhesive layer is preferably 1 to 20% by mass, more preferably 2 to 15% with respect to 100% by mass of the total amount of the polyester resin and the cross-linking agent in the first easy-adhesive layer. % By mass, more preferably 8 to 15% by mass.
In this invention, the crosslinkable addition polymer which is a preferable crosslinking agent in the 2nd easily bonding layer mentioned later can be used as a crosslinking agent of a 1st easily bonding layer. Thereby, the effect similar to the effect which employ | adopts a crosslinkable addition polymer in a 2nd easily bonding layer can be provided to a 1st easily bonding layer.
<Optical adjustment layer>
An optical adjustment layer is provided on the first easy-adhesion layer.
The optical adjustment layer is a layer that has a function of suppressing the appearance of bone by matching the light reflection and transmission characteristics of the portion where the transparent conductive layer is present and the portion where the transparent conductive layer is not present due to the interference effect. The optical adjustment layer is usually composed of at least one high refractive index layer and at least one low refractive index layer, which are appropriately combined. Each of the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer may have a plurality of layers. Usually, it becomes a lamination order of a polyester film, a high refractive index layer, and a low refractive index layer. As the optical adjustment layer in the present invention, a high refractive index layer / low refractive index layer comprising a high refractive index layer on the side close to the polyester film and a low refractive index layer on the opposite side of the polyester film of the high refractive index layer. An embodiment having a two-layer structure is preferable.
(High refractive index layer)
The high refractive index layer is a layer having a refractive index of 1.60 to 1.80. By setting it as such a refractive index range, it is excellent by the bone appearance suppression effect by interaction with the other layer in this invention. If the refractive index is too high or too low, the effect of suppressing bone appearance tends to be low. From such a viewpoint, the refractive index of the high refractive index layer is preferably 1.60 or more, more preferably 1.62 or more, still more preferably 1.64 or more, and preferably 1.75 or less, more preferably 1.70 or less, more preferably 1.68 or less, particularly preferably 1.66 or less.
The high refractive index layer is preferably a layer comprising a metal and / or metal oxide and optionally a binder resin. Especially, it is preferable that it is a layer which consists of a metal oxide and binder resin. An example of such a metal oxide is a metal oxide film obtained by a sol-gel method. In this case, the metal oxide film can be a high refractive index layer. The metal oxide film may optionally contain a binder resin. Examples of the metal oxide include metal oxide fine particles. In this case, the metal oxide particles may include an embodiment in which the metal oxide particles are dispersed in the metal oxide film formed by the sol-gel method described above, or an embodiment in which the metal oxide particles are dispersed in the binder resin.
In the above, the type of metal oxide forming the film and fine particles in the high refractive index layer is not particularly limited as long as the above refractive index is satisfied, but the strength of the obtained film can be increased. From the viewpoint of being able to have an appropriate refractive index, it should be at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, zinc oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, indium-containing tin oxide, antimony-containing tin oxide and zinc antimonate. preferable. Among these, titanium oxide, antimony-containing tin oxide, and zirconium oxide are particularly preferable from the viewpoints of particularly high film strength and excellent dispersibility in the case of fine particles. These metal oxides may be used alone or in combination of two or more. That is, the metal oxide film which consists of 2 or more types of metal oxides may be sufficient, and the aspect containing 2 or more types of metal oxide fine particles may be sufficient. In the embodiment in which metal oxide fine particles are contained in the metal oxide film, the metal oxide forming the film and the metal oxide forming the fine particles may be the same or different. Good.
Examples of the binder resin in the high refractive index layer include acrylic resins, urethane resins, melamine resins, alkyd resins, siloxane polymers, and organic silane condensates. Among them, those having a skeleton that has a high refractive index may be preferably used. From the viewpoint of film strength, the binder resin is preferably formed by curing with heat, ultraviolet rays, electron beams or the like. Adhesiveness can be further improved by the binder resin.
A particularly preferable embodiment of the high refractive index layer in the present invention is an embodiment in which a binder resin is contained in the metal oxide film, and an organosilane condensate is particularly preferably contained in the titanium oxide film. It is an aspect.
Commercially available products can also be used as metal oxides preferably used for the high refractive index layer. For example, zirconium oxide: HXU-110JC (manufactured by Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd.), titanium oxide: nanotech Ti-Tolu (Ci Kasei), zinc oxide: nanotech ZnO-Xylene (Ci Kasei), cerium oxide: Nidral (Taki Chemical) Indium-containing tin oxide: products manufactured by Mitsubishi Materials, antimony-containing tin oxide: SN-100D (manufactured by Ishihara Sangyo Co., Ltd.), zinc antimonate: Cellnax series (manufactured by Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), etc. .
(Low refractive index layer)
The low refractive index layer is a layer having a refractive index of 1.40 to 1.60. By setting it as such a refractive index range, it is excellent by the bone appearance suppression effect by interaction with the other layer in this invention. If the refractive index is too high or too low, the bone appearance suppression effect tends to be low. From this viewpoint, the refractive index of the low refractive index layer is preferably 1.42 or more, more preferably 1.43 or more, further preferably 1.44 or more, and preferably 1.55 or less, more preferably 1.50 or less, more preferably 1.48 or less.
The low refractive index layer is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the above refractive index, and may be a layer made of a binder resin, a layer made of a metal oxide, or a binder resin and a metal. It may be a layer made of an oxide. In addition, organic particles having a low refractive index can be contained. An example of the metal oxide is a metal oxide film obtained by a sol-gel method. In this case, the metal oxide film can be a low refractive index layer. The metal oxide film may optionally contain a binder resin. Examples of the metal oxide include metal oxide fine particles. In this case, the metal oxide particles may include an embodiment in which the metal oxide particles are dispersed in the metal oxide film formed by the sol-gel method described above, or an embodiment in which the metal oxide particles are dispersed in the binder resin.
In the above, the kind of metal oxide forming the film and fine particles in the low refractive index layer is particularly preferably silica from the viewpoint of forming a layer having a suitable low refractive index. Moreover, a more preferable low refractive index can be obtained by containing organic silane-based silicon compounds and low refractive index organic particles such as fluorine compounds as organic particles. Further, the refractive index can be lowered by forming voids by including a void forming agent in the layer.
Examples of the binder resin in the low refractive index layer include acrylic resins, urethane resins, melamine resins, alkyd resins, siloxane polymers, and organic silane condensates. Among them, those having a skeleton that has a low refractive index may be preferably used. From the viewpoint of film strength, the binder resin is preferably formed by curing with heat, ultraviolet rays, electron beams or the like.
A particularly preferable embodiment of the low refractive index layer in the present invention is an embodiment comprising a metal oxide film, and a silica film formed by a sol-gel method is particularly preferable.
In the present invention, by providing the high refractive index layer and the low refractive index layer as described above in the above-described arrangement, bone appearance is suppressed due to a synergistic effect with the other layers in the present invention.
In addition, when the refractive index of the high refractive index layer is within the above range, the thickness is preferably 50 to 250 nm, more preferably 100 to 200 nm, and even more preferably 125 to 175 nm. Can be high. In addition, when the refractive index of the low refractive index layer is within the above range, the thickness is preferably 5 to 50 nm, more preferably 10 to 45 nm, and even more preferably 20 to 40 nm. Can be high. Furthermore, the improvement effect of bone appearance suppression can be further heightened by making the thickness of each layer into the said preferable range simultaneously.
<Other layers>
The laminated body of this invention may have another layer in the range which does not inhibit the objective of this invention. For example, you may have the adhesion layer for bonding with another optical member in the surface on the opposite side to the optical adjustment layer of a polyester film. Further, a smoothing layer such as a hard coat layer may be provided on the first easy-adhesion layer, and an optical adjustment layer may be provided thereon. In this case, the smoothing layer exhibits suitable adhesiveness for both the first easy-adhesion layer and the optical adjustment layer (or the high refractive index layer) in the present invention. By doing so, the adhesiveness of a polyester film and an optical adjustment layer (or high refractive index layer) can be ensured as a result.
<Second easy adhesion layer>
In this invention, it can have a 2nd easily bonding layer in the surface on the opposite side to the 1st easily bonding layer of a polyester film. The second easy-adhesion layer is a layer for improving the adhesion between the polyester film and the functional layer when a functional layer such as a hard coat layer is laminated.
The second easy-adhesion layer is 70% by mass or more based on the weight of the second easy-adhesion layer, preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 85% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 90% by mass or more. It is a layer to contain. When the ratio of the copolyester resin is 70% by mass or more, the adhesion with a functional layer such as a hard coat layer is improved, and the refractive index of the second easy-adhesion layer can be within an appropriate range. Therefore, light interference spots can be suppressed. Furthermore, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the second easy-adhesive layer is also in an appropriate range, and the film-forming property is improved, and the cracks of the second easy-adhesive layer are reduced, and the deterioration of the adhesiveness due to such cracks is suppressed. It can be excellent in adhesion.
The average refractive index in the plane direction of the oriented polyethylene terephthalate film is usually about 1.66, and the refractive index of the acrylic resin hard coat layer usually used as the functional layer is about 1.52. The refractive index is preferably in the range of 1.57 to 1.62, more preferably in the range of 1.58 to 1.61, and particularly preferably in the range of 1.59 to 1.60. Such a refractive index can be easily achieved by employing a copolyester resin described later.
The thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer is preferably 50 to 100 nm, more preferably 70 to 90 nm. By setting the thickness within this range, when a functional layer such as an acrylic hard coat layer is provided thereon, the effect of suppressing light interference spots is further increased, which is preferable.
(Copolymerized polyester resin for the second easy adhesion layer)
The copolymer polyester resin used for the second easy-adhesion layer can be selected from the modes described below depending on the intended effect. Such a copolyester resin can also be used as the polyester resin of the first easy-adhesion layer as long as the purpose is not hindered, whereby the effect of adopting such a copolyester resin is applied to the first easy-adhesion layer. Can be granted. Hereinafter, the first easy-adhesion layer and the second easy-adhesion layer may be collectively referred to as an easy-adhesion layer.
<Preferred embodiment 1 of copolymerized polyester resin (copolymerized polyester resin 1)>
In forming a coating layer such as the first and second easy-adhesion layers, a so-called in-line coating method in which orientation crystallization is completed after coating a coating liquid for forming a coating layer on a polyester film before completion of orientation is applied. Often used. However, according to our study, when applied on a polyethylene terephthalate film, it is presumed to be due to the cracking of the coating layer that occurs in the stretching process, but there may be cases where further improvement in adhesion is desired. found.
This aspect is a particularly suitable copolymer polyester resin for the purpose of excellent adhesion to a functional layer such as a hard coat layer and suppression of light interference spots (color spots) after the formation of the functional layer. It is an aspect.
The copolymerized polyester resin used in the second easy-adhesion layer of this embodiment has a naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component of 60 to 90 mol% and a carbon number of 6 to 6 on the basis of the total dicarboxylic acid component (100 mol%) of the copolymerized polyester. A copolymer comprising 12 alkylene dicarboxylic acid components and 4 to 10 alkylene glycol components in a total amount of 15 to 50 mol%, and a glycol component having a fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) of 5 mol% or more and less than 20 mol%. Polyester.
When the proportion of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is in the above range, the refractive index of the copolyester can be increased, the refractive index of the second easy-adhesion layer can be easily set to the above-mentioned preferable range, Interference spots can be suppressed. Moreover, the swelling resistance of the second easily adhesive layer with respect to the solvent is also good. When the proportion of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is less than the lower limit, the refractive index of the copolyester is lowered, and as a result, the refractive index of the second easy-adhesive layer is lowered and the effect of suppressing light interference spots is insufficient. Become. In addition, the swelling with organic solvents increases (solvent resistance deteriorates), so it swells when it comes into contact with the organic solvent in the coating liquid for functional layers such as the hard coat layer, resulting from the uneven thickness of the second easy-adhesive layer This is not preferable because it causes not only interference spots to occur but also blocking resistance. On the other hand, since the refractive index of the copolyester increases as the proportion of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component increases, the proportion of other components (for example, a crosslinking agent and other components described later) may be increased as the second easy-adhesion layer. it can. However, at the same time, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolyester tends to be high and the glass transition temperature of the second easy-adhesion layer tends to be high. It tends to decrease. Accordingly, the preferable lower limit of the content of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is 65 mol%, and the preferable upper limit is 85 mol%, more preferably 80 mol%, and particularly preferably 70 mol%. Here, examples of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component include 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component, and the like, among which 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component. Ingredients are preferred.
Further, based on the total acid component of the copolyester, it contains a total of 15 to 50 mol% of an alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms is contained in an amount of 0 to 40 mol% and the alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms is contained in an amount of 0 to 50 mol%, and the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component are preferably contained. The total content is 15 to 50 mol%. For this reason, Tg of copolyester can be made low and Tg of a 2nd easily bonding layer can be made low. As a result, even the in-line coating method often adopted when forming the second easy-adhesion layer on the oriented polyethylene terephthalate film is excellent in the film-forming property of the second easy-adhesion layer. 2 It is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracking (cracking) in the easy-adhesion layer and to obtain a film having excellent adhesiveness. In particular, when the simultaneous biaxial stretching method is adopted for the production of the oriented polyester film and the in-line coating method is adopted for the formation of the second easy-adhesion layer, the preheating / drying temperature tends to be relatively low. The effect to employ | adopt is large especially preferable. Moreover, it is excellent also in blocking resistance.
If the total amount of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component is less than the lower limit, the Tg of the copolyester will not be lowered sufficiently, resulting in insufficient adhesion. On the other hand, when the above-mentioned alkylene dicarboxylic acid component or alkylene glycol component exceeds the upper limit or the total of both exceeds the upper limit, not only the blocking resistance is lowered, but the content of other copolymer components is reduced. As a result, the refractive index of the copolyester becomes low and the effect of suppressing light interference spots becomes insufficient. Moreover, there exists a possibility that the solvent resistance of a 2nd easily bonding layer may fall. From such a viewpoint, the total amount of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component is preferably in the range of 20 to 50 mol%.
Preferred examples of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms (dicarboxylic acid component having an alkylene group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms) include 1,4-butanedicarboxylic acid component, 1,6-hexanedicarboxylic acid component, Examples thereof include 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid component, 1,8-octanedicarboxylic acid component, 1,10-decanedicarboxylic acid component, and the like. Of these, a dicarboxylic acid component having an alkylene group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms is preferable, and a dicarboxylic acid component having an alkylene group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms is more preferable from the viewpoint that appropriate Tg is easily obtained. Examples of the alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms preferably used include a 1,4-butanediol component, a 1,6-hexanediol component, a 1,4-cyclohexanediol component, a 1,8-octanediol component, Examples include 1,10-decanediol component. Among these, an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 8 carbon atoms is preferable, and an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 6 carbon atoms is more preferable from the viewpoint that appropriate Tg can be easily obtained.
In addition, when it is intended to add another copolymer component to the copolymer polyester to impart other functions, it is easier to add it as an acid component, and it is also easy to carry out a polymerization reaction. From the viewpoint of leaving room, it is more preferable to contain the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component as an alkylene glycol component.
Further, since the glycol component having the fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) is contained in an amount of 5 mol% or more and less than 20 mol% based on the total acid component of the copolymerized polyester, the Tg of the copolymerized polyester is appropriately low. While maintaining the temperature, the refractive index can be increased to a preferable range. When the content of the glycol component having the fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) is less than 5 mol%, it is difficult to make the refractive index of the copolymer polyester within a preferable range, and light interference spots cannot be suppressed. . On the other hand, in the case of 20 mol% or more, since the Tg of the copolyester becomes too high, not only the film-forming property of the second easy-adhesive layer is lowered and the transparency of the resulting film is lowered, but also the adhesiveness. Also decreases. From such a viewpoint, the preferred lower limit is 3 mol%, more preferably 5%, and the preferred upper limit is 15 mol%, more preferably 10%. Examples of the glycol component having a fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) preferably used include a 9,9-bis [4- (2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl] fluorene component and a 9,9-bis [4- (2 -Hydroxyethoxy) -2-methylphenyl] fluorene component.
The copolymerized polyester of the second easy-adhesion layer in this embodiment described above contains 5 to 25 mol%, more preferably 10 to 20 mol%, of an ethylene oxide adduct component of bisphenol A in addition to the above components. It is preferable that Tg can be within a more preferable range while maintaining the refractive index, and the adhesiveness is also improved. The average added mole number of ethylene oxide is suitably in the range of 2 to 4 moles with respect to 1 mole of bisphenol A.
In addition to the above components, in order to keep the Tg of the copolyester within a more preferable range while maintaining the refractive index, terephthalic acid and / or isophthalic acid is contained in an amount of 20 to 40 mol%, particularly 24 to 34 mol%. It is preferable to contain. Among these, an isophthalic acid component is preferable because it is easy to obtain a more suitable Tg.
Further, the copolyester of this embodiment preferably contains 1 to 10 mol% of a dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group based on the total acid component. Thereby, the solubility at the time of making copolymer polyester into aqueous coating liquid thru | or water dispersibility can be improved. Moreover, the solvent resistance (swelling resistance) of the second easy-adhesion layer can be improved. However, if the amount is too large, the water resistance and blocking resistance of the second easy-adhesion layer tend to be low, so the range of 2 to 8 mol% is particularly preferable. Examples of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group include a 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid component, a 5-potassium sulfoisophthalic acid component, a 5-lithium sulfoisophthalic acid component, and a 5-phosphonium sulfoisophthalic acid component. However, the 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid component is most preferable from the viewpoint of improving water dispersibility.

<Preferred embodiment 2 of copolymerized polyester resin (copolymerized polyester resin 2)>
Various solvents have come to be used as coating solutions for forming functional layers such as hard coat layers. Depending on the solvent, the easy-adhesion layer swells and dissolves, and the thickness varies, resulting in interference. There is a problem that the spots cannot be suppressed. In response to such a problem, for example, in JP 2009-300658 A and JP 2009-300658 A, by adding particles having a relatively large particle diameter of 0.2 to 0.7 μm in average particle diameter, A method has been proposed in which interference spots are suppressed by surface roughness even when the thickness of the easy-adhesion layer varies. Note that the problem related to the thickness variation may be a problem that the appearance of bones cannot be suppressed because various solvents are similarly used when forming the optical adjustment layer.
This aspect is a particularly suitable copolymer polyester resin for the purpose of excellent adhesion to a functional layer such as a hard coat layer and suppression of light interference spots (color spots) after the formation of the functional layer. It is an aspect.
Such a copolyester uses, for example, a component capable of increasing the refractive index such as a naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component or a glycol component having a fluorene structure and a component capable of adjusting the swelling ratio such as an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group. The refractive index and the swelling rate may be adjusted by adjusting the copolymerization amount.
Examples of the copolymer polyester preferably used include, for example, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having 60 to 90 mol% of a naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component and a sulfonate group based on the total dicarboxylic acid component (100 mol%) of the copolymer polyester. Examples thereof include those containing 1 to 10 mol% and 5 to 25 mol% of bisphenol A ethylene oxide adduct.
When the proportion of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is in the above range, the refractive index of the copolyester can be increased, the refractive index of the second easy-adhesion layer can be easily set in the above range, and interference spots can be prevented. Can be suppressed. Further, the swelling ratio of the second easy-adhesion layer can be easily set within a preferable range. If the ratio of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is too small, the refractive index of the copolyester is lowered, and as a result, the refractive index of the second easy-adhesive layer is lowered and the effect of suppressing interference spots is insufficient. On the other hand, since the refractive index of the copolyester increases as the proportion of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component increases, the proportion of other components (for example, a crosslinking agent and other components described later) may be increased as the second easy-adhesion layer. it can. However, at the same time, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolyester tends to be high and the glass transition temperature of the second easy-adhesion layer tends to be high. The transparency of the film tends to decrease. Therefore, the content of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component is preferably 65 mol% or more, and 85 mol% or less, more preferably 80 mol% or less, and particularly preferably 70 mol% or less. Here, as a preferable naphthalene dicarboxylic acid component, it is the same as that of the copolyester resin 1.
Further, by having the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group in the above range based on the total acid component of the copolymer polyester, the solubility or water dispersibility when the copolymer polyester is used as an aqueous coating liquid is improved. be able to. In addition, the swelling ratio of the second easy-adhesion layer can be easily within a preferable range. However, if the amount is too large, the water resistance and blocking resistance of the second easy-adhesion layer tend to be low, so the content is preferably 2 to 8 mol%, particularly preferably 6 to 8 mol%. The aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having a preferred sulfonate group is the same as the copolymer polyester resin 1. .
Furthermore, by having the ethylene oxide adduct component of bisphenol A in the above range based on the total acid component of the copolymer polyester, the Tg can be made a preferred range while maintaining the refractive index of the copolymer polyester, The film forming property of the second easy-adhesion layer is improved, and a film excellent in transparency can be obtained. Moreover, it becomes easy to make a swelling rate into a preferable range. The average added mole number of ethylene oxide is suitably in the range of 2 to 4 moles with respect to 1 mole of bisphenol A.
The copolymer polyester described above preferably contains 5 mol% or more and less than 20 mol% of the glycol component having the fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) in addition to the above components. While maintaining Tg at a moderately low temperature, the refractive index can be within a preferred range. When the content of such components decreases, the refractive index of the copolyester tends to decrease, while when it increases, the Tg of the copolyester increases, and the film-forming property of the second easy-adhesive layer decreases and the transparency of the film is reduced. Tend to decrease, and the adhesiveness also tends to decrease. From such a viewpoint, the preferable lower limit is 5 mol%, and the preferable upper limit is 15 mol%, and particularly preferably 10 mol%. The glycol component having a fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) preferably used is the same as that of the copolyester resin 1.
Further, in addition to the above components, it is preferable to contain a total of 15 to 50 mol% of an alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms. More preferably, it contains 0 to 40 mol% of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and 0 to 50 mol% of the alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, and the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol In this embodiment, the total amount of the components is 15 to 50 mol%. Thereby, Tg of copolyester can be made low and Tg of a 2nd easily bonding layer can be made low. As a result, even if the polyester film is a polyethylene terephthalate film, even the in-line coating method often adopted when forming the second easy-adhesion layer is excellent in the film-forming property of the second easy-adhesion layer, so that the transparency is improved. An excellent film is obtained. In particular, when the simultaneous biaxial stretching method is used and the in-line coating method is used to form the second easy-adhesion layer, the preheating / drying temperature tends to be relatively low. Largely preferred. Moreover, the adhesive improvement effect can be enhanced and the blocking resistance is also excellent.
When the total amount of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component decreases, the Tg of the copolyester is difficult to decrease, and the transparency of the resulting film may be reduced. On the other hand, when the amount of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component or the alkylene glycol component is increased or the sum of both is increased, the anti-blocking property is reduced, or the refractive index of the copolyester is reduced and the effect of suppressing interference spots is reduced. There is a case. In addition, the swelling rate of the second easy-adhesion layer may increase. From such a viewpoint, the total amount of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component is preferably in the range of 20 to 50 mol%.
The alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms (dicarboxylic acid component having an alkylene group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms) and the alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms that are preferably used include copolymer polyester resin 1 It is the same.
In addition, when other copolymerization components are added to the copolymerized polyester to impart other functions, the above-mentioned alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the above-mentioned alkylene glycol can be easily added as an acid component and easily subjected to a polymerization reaction. Among the components, it is more preferable to contain them as an alkylene glycol component.
Further, in addition to the above components, in order to keep the Tg of the copolyester within a more preferable range while maintaining the refractive index, terephthalic acid and / or isophthalic acid is contained in an amount of 20 to 40 mol%, particularly 24 to 34 mol%. It is preferable to contain. Among these, an isophthalic acid component is preferable because it is easy to obtain a more suitable Tg.

It is preferable that the 2nd easily bonding layer in this aspect is the following aspects.
(Refractive index)
The refractive index of the second easy-adhesion layer in this embodiment is preferably 1.58 to 1.64. More preferably, it is 1.58 to 1.62, more preferably 1.58 to 1.60, and particularly preferably 1.58 to 1.59. When the refractive index of the second easy-adhesion layer is within this range, the average refractive index in the plane direction of a preferable polyester film, which will be described later, and the refractive index of a hard coat layer usually made of an acrylic resin (approximately 1.52) Since the refractive index is between, interference spots (color spots) when a hard coat layer made of such an acrylic resin is applied on the second easy-adhesion layer can be suppressed. If this refractive index is too high or too low, it becomes difficult to suppress interference spots. Moreover, it becomes easy to make a swelling rate into a preferable range by setting it as the 2nd easily bonding layer which consists of a component which becomes such a refractive index, Preferably the component mentioned above.
In order to achieve such a refractive index, the refractive index of each component constituting the second easy-adhesion layer may be adjusted. For example, the refractive index of a 2nd easily bonding layer can be made high by using copolyester resin and particle | grains with a high refractive index. Particularly preferably, the above-described copolymer polyester resin 2 may be employed.
(Thickness)
In this embodiment, the thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer needs to be 50 to 100 nm, and preferably 70 to 90 nm. By setting the thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer within this range, interference spots (color spots) when a low refractive index layer such as a hard coat layer made of an acrylic resin is provided thereon can be suppressed. If this thickness is too thin, the adhesiveness tends to decrease, and if it is too thin or too thick, it becomes difficult to suppress interference spots.
(Swell rate)
In the second easy-adhesion layer in this embodiment, the swelling ratio obtained by the following method is 130 to 200% in any of the following solvents. Preferably it is 130 to 180%, more preferably 135 to 175%, still more preferably 139 to 165%. Here, the swelling rate is determined by applying a coating solution (solid content concentration: 40% by mass) obtained by diluting the following UV curable composition with a solvent onto the second easy-adhesive layer of the film, drying and curing, and then hardening the hard 5 μm thick. From the thickness dh of the second easy-adhesion layer after forming the coat layer and forming the hard coat layer and the thickness d0 of the second easy-adhesion layer before forming the hard coat layer, the swelling ratio E (%) = dh / d0 × 100
It is the value calculated as. The following are used as the UV curable composition, and as the solvent, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), ethyl acetate, toluene, isopropanol (IPA) and propylene, which are representative of the solvents usually used for forming hard coat layers and the like, are used. Glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) is used, and in any of these solvents, the swelling ratio of the second easy-adhesion layer needs to be in the above range.
UV curable composition:
Pentaerythritol acrylate: 45% by mass
N-methylolacrylamide: 40% by mass
N-vinylpyrrolidone: 10% by mass
1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone: 5% by mass
When the swelling ratio is less than 130%, the adhesion with the hard coat layer tends to be low. On the other hand, when the swelling ratio exceeds 200%, the functional layer such as the hard coat layer is formed before and after the formation. Since the variation in the thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer is too large, it is difficult to suppress interference spots. Further, it is important that the swelling rate is within the above range in any of the above solvents. If the swelling rate in any of the solvents is out of this range, such a solvent is used to form a hard coat layer or the like. This is because when the functional layer is formed, the adhesiveness is insufficient or it is difficult to suppress interference spots. In addition, since the swelling rate is easier to suppress interference spots when the hard coat layer is formed when the fluctuation due to the type of solvent is less, the difference between the maximum swelling rate and the minimum swelling rate is 50% or less. It is preferable that it is 25% or less.
In order to achieve such a swelling ratio, the components used for the second easy-adhesion layer, particularly the copolymer component constituting the binder component, may be adjusted to balance the lipophilicity and the hydrophilicity. Specifically, the above-described preferred embodiment of the copolyester resin 2 can be used. The swelling rate can also be adjusted by using a crosslinking agent for the second easy-adhesion layer. The crosslinking agent tends to have a lower swelling ratio as the addition amount increases.
(Polyester film)
The preferred polyester film according to this embodiment has a refractive index in the plane direction (average refractive index of a refractive index in any one direction and a refractive index in a direction perpendicular thereto in the film plane) of 1.63 to 1.68. Preferably, it is in the range of 1.64 to 1.67, particularly preferably 1.65 to 1.66. When the refractive index in the plane direction is in this range, the film provided with the second easy-adhesion layer using the above-described copolymer polyester resin 2 has a low refractive index layer such as a hard coat layer formed thereon. Excellent in suppressing the occurrence of interference spots. Even if the surface direction refractive index is out of the above range and is too high or too low, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of interference spots tends to decrease.
Such a polyester film may be any of an unoriented film, a uniaxially oriented film, and a biaxially oriented film as long as the plane direction refractive index satisfies the above requirements. To a biaxially oriented film.
The second easy-adhesion layer of this aspect is, for example, the first easy-adhesion layer when the main purpose is excellent adhesion to a functional layer such as a hard coat layer and suppression of light interference spots after the functional layer is formed. The second easy-adhesion layer can be provided on one or both sides of the polyester film to form a laminated polyester film. Such a laminated polyester film includes the following embodiments.

And then drying and curing to form a hard coat layer having a thickness of 5 μm, the thickness dh of the second easy-adhesion layer after forming the hard coat layer, and the thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer before forming the hard coat layer The value obtained from d0 as the swelling ratio E (%) = dh / d0 × 100.
UV curable composition:
Pentaerythritol acrylate: 45% by mass
N-methylolacrylamide: 40% by mass
N-vinylpyrrolidone: 10% by mass
1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone: 5% by mass

<Preferred embodiment 3 of copolymerized polyester resin (copolymerized polyester resin 3)>
In forming a coating layer such as the first and second easy-adhesion layers, a so-called in-line coating method in which orientation crystallization is completed after coating a coating liquid for forming a coating layer on a polyester film before completion of orientation is applied. Often used. However, according to our study, when applied on a polyethylene terephthalate film, it is presumed to be due to the cracking of the coating layer that occurs in the stretching process, but there may be cases where further improvement in adhesion is desired. found. And about this adhesiveness, the improvement of the adhesiveness (wet heat adhesiveness) especially in a wet heat environment is strongly requested | required.
This aspect is particularly suitable for the purpose of, for example, excellent adhesion with a functional layer such as a hard coat layer in a humid heat environment, and suppression of light interference spots (color spots) after the formation of the functional layer. This is an embodiment of a polymerized polyester resin.
The copolymerized polyester resin used in the second easy-adhesion layer of this embodiment has a naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component of 60 to 90 mol% and a carbon number of 6 to 6 on the basis of the total dicarboxylic acid component (100 mol%) of the copolymerized polyester. 12 alkylene dicarboxylic acid components and alkylene glycol components having 4 to 10 carbon atoms in total 15 to 50 mol%, glycol components having a fluorene structure represented by the formula (I) of 5 mol% or more and less than 20 mol%, and It contains 0.1 to 5 mol% of a dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group.
The preferred embodiment and effect of the naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component are the same as those of the copolyester resin 1. In this embodiment, considering that the dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group is an essential component, the preferable lower limit of the content of the naphthalene dicarboxylic acid component is 65 mol%, and the preferable upper limit is 85. The mol%, more preferably 80 mol%, still more preferably 75.9 mol%, particularly preferably 70 mol%.
Further, based on the total acid component of the copolyester, it contains a total of 15 to 50 mol% of an alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms. Preferred embodiments and effects of such components are the same as those of the copolyester resin 1. In this embodiment, considering that the dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group is an essential component, the content is preferably 0 to 39.9 mol% of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component having 6 to 12 carbon atoms. And an alkylene glycol component having 4 to 10 carbon atoms is contained in an amount of 0 to 50 mol%, and the total of the alkylene dicarboxylic acid component and the alkylene glycol component is 15 to 50 mol%. .
Moreover, 5 mol% or more and less than 20 mol% of the glycol component which has the fluorene structure shown by said Formula (I) is included on the basis of all the acid components of copolyester. Preferred embodiments and effects of such components are the same as those of the copolyester resin 1.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the content of the dicarboxylic acid component having a sulfonate group is 0.1 to 5 mol% based on the total acid component. Thereby, the adhesiveness in a wet heat environment can be made high. If the amount is too large, the adhesiveness in a moist heat environment tends to be low, and the range of 0.1 to 4.5 mol% is particularly preferable. On the other hand, even if the content is too small, the effect of dispersing or dissolving in a solvent (particularly an aqueous solvent) tends to be reduced, and uniform coating tends to be difficult. Adhesiveness tends to be low. From this viewpoint, 0.2 mol% or more is preferable, and 0.4 mol% or more is more preferable. The aromatic dicarboxylic acid component having a preferred sulfonate group is the same as the copolymer polyester resin 1.

Particularly preferably, during the production process of the polyester film, the second easy-adhesion coating solution is applied to the surface opposite to the surface to which the first easy-adhesion coating solution is applied, and the first easy-adhesion layer and the second easy-adhesion layer are formed simultaneously. Manufacturing method.
A 2nd easily-adhesive coating liquid can mix and obtain the component which comprises the 2nd easily-adhesive layer mentioned above, and can obtain it by diluting with a solvent as needed. Here, each component may be added as it is, or may be added after dissolving or dispersing in an appropriate solvent, or may be diluted with an appropriate solvent. The concentration of the coating liquid can be appropriately set depending on the viscosity of the coating liquid, the coating thickness, the coating method, and the like.
A conventionally well-known method can be employ | adopted as a coating system for forming a 2nd easily bonding layer. Examples thereof include a roll coating method (such as a gravure roll coating method) and a spray coating method.
The second easy-adhesion layer can be formed before forming the first easy-adhesion layer. Moreover, a 2nd easily bonding layer can also be formed on both surfaces of a polyester film depending on the objective. The following is a description of a particularly preferable manufacturing method for forming the second easily adhesive layer in such a case.
The polyester film which has a 2nd easily bonding layer is manufactured through the film forming process which manufactures a biaxially-oriented polyester film, and the application | coating process which forms a 2nd easily bonding layer. The film forming step may be a sequential biaxial stretching method or a simultaneous biaxial stretching method, but if it is a simultaneous biaxial stretching method, the film surface is hardly damaged during film formation, Since it is suitable for manufacturing the film used for an optical use, it is preferable. The coating process may be after the film forming process (so-called off-line coating method) or in the film forming process (so-called in-line coating method). For example, a thin coating layer can be easily obtained uniformly, and a strong coating layer can be obtained. Furthermore, it is excellent in productivity.
In the second easy-adhesion layer, using the copolyester resin 1 or 3, the effect of improving the easy-adhesive property by improving the film-forming property is to be applied to the unstretched film or the partially oriented film before completion of the orientation. Is produced by an in-line coating method in which the film is stretched and heat-set after being provided. The film forming method may be a sequential biaxial stretching method or a simultaneous biaxial stretching method. In the simultaneous biaxial stretching method, the second easy-adhesive layer is used to stretch the biaxial simultaneously. When the coating liquid for forming the film is stretched after coating, the film forming property of the second easy-adhesive layer becomes more severe. Therefore, especially in such a case, the embodiment using the above-described copolymer polyester resins 1 and 3 is particularly useful.
Hereinafter, a preferable method when polyethylene terephthalate is used as the polyester and the in-line coating method is adopted by the simultaneous biaxial stretching method will be described. First, sufficiently dried polyethylene terephthalate is melted at a temperature of Tm + 10 ° C. to Tm + 30 ° C. (where Tm is the melting point of polyethylene terephthalate), extruded into a sheet, and cooled with a cooling drum to form an unstretched film. Next, a coating solution for forming the second easy-adhesion layer is applied to the surface of the unstretched film on the side where the second easy-adhesion layer is to be formed by using a roll coater to obtain an unstretched film having a coating film. At this time, coating is performed so that the thickness of the second easy-adhesion layer in the obtained film is preferably 50 to 100 nm, more preferably 70 to 90 nm. Next, this was preheated at 90 to 110 ° C., and simultaneously in the biaxial direction with a simultaneous biaxial stretching machine at a temperature of Tg to Tg + 70 ° C. (where Tg is the glass transition temperature of polyethylene terephthalate) and in the longitudinal direction (film formation) Preferably in the machine axis direction, longitudinal direction or MD) 2.5 to 5.0 times, more preferably 3.0 to 4.0 times, lateral direction (direction perpendicular to the film forming machine axis direction, width direction or TD) ) Is preferably 2.5 to 5.0 times, more preferably 3.0 to 4.0 times, and then heat-fixed at a temperature of (Tg + 60 ° C.) to Tm, preferably adjusting the heat shrinkage rate. Therefore, a laminated film having a second easy-adhesion layer on the oriented polyethylene terephthalate film can be obtained by heat relaxation treatment. In addition, it is preferable that this extending | stretching temperature is 45 degreeC or more higher than the glass transition temperature of the copolyester in a 2nd easily bonding layer, More preferably, it is 50 degreeC or more, More preferably, it is 55 degreeC or more higher temperature. That is. Thereby, the film-forming property of the second easy-adhesion layer becomes more excellent, and the effect of improving the adhesiveness can be enhanced. Further, the temperature is preferably 40 ° C. or higher than the glass transition temperature of the second easy-adhesion layer, more preferably 45 ° C. or higher, and even more preferably 53 ° C. or higher. The film forming property of the easy-adhesion layer is more excellent, and the effect of improving the adhesiveness can be increased. Next, for heat setting, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate film is preferably heat-set at a temperature in the range of 210 to 240 ° C. for 1 to 60 seconds. In addition, the coating film is dried by the heat applied in the above process, and is cured as necessary to become a second easy-adhesion layer.
In addition, the coating liquid for forming a 2nd easily bonding layer mixes each component which comprises a 2nd easily bonding layer, and considers a viscosity, application | coating thickness, etc., and adjusts it suitably. The solvent used for dilution is preferably water, that is, the coating liquid is preferably aqueous. The solid concentration of the coating liquid is preferably 5 to 20% by mass, and a good coating appearance can be obtained.
<Characteristics of laminated film>
(Haze)
The laminated film of the present invention preferably has a haze value measured according to JIS standard K7136 of 0% or more and 1.0% or less, more preferably 0.1% or more and 0.8% or less, particularly preferably 0. .1% or more and 0.5% or less. Haze is an important evaluation index for use in optical applications. For example, when used for a display, haze is one of the indexes for evaluating the visibility of a display, and when haze exceeds 1.0%, Since the transparency of the film is lowered and the display screen of the display looks whitish, the contrast is lowered and the visibility may be lowered. In order to make the haze within such a range, in the polyester film and the easy-adhesion layer, particles are not used or even when used, the diameter and amount are within the above-mentioned range, and the polymer binder constituting the easy-adhesion layer is the above-mentioned. A preferable copolyester resin may be used.
