本発明の別の局面によれば、上記偏光板を備える、画像表示装置が提供される。
1つの実施形態において、上記画像表示装置が、有機エレクトロルミネセンス表示装置である。
本明細書における用語および記号の定義は下記の通りである。
(1)屈折率(nx、ny、nz)
「nx」は面内の屈折率が最大になる方向(すなわち、遅相軸方向)の屈折率であり、「ny」は面内で遅相軸と直交する方向(すなわち、進相軸方向)の屈折率であり、「nz」は厚み方向の屈折率である。
(2)面内位相差(Re)
「Re(λ)」は、23℃における波長λnmの光で測定した面内位相差である。例えば、「Re(550)」は、23℃における波長550nmの光で測定した面内位相差である。Re(λ)は、層(フィルム)の厚みをd(nm)としたとき、式:Re(λ)=(nx-ny)×dによって求められる。
(3)厚み方向の位相差(Rth)
「Rth(λ)」は、23℃における波長λnmの光で測定した厚み方向の位相差である。例えば、「Rth(550)」は、23℃における波長550nmの光で測定した厚み方向の位相差である。Rth(λ)は、層(フィルム)の厚みをd(nm)としたとき、式:Rth(λ)=(nx-nz)×dによって求められる。
(4)Nz係数
Nz係数は、Nz=Rth/Reによって求められる。
(5)角度
本明細書において角度に言及するときは、当該角度は基準方向に対して時計回りおよび反時計回りの両方を包含する。したがって、例えば「45°」は±45°を意味する。
本発明の実施形態による偏光膜は、ヨウ素を含むポリビニルアルコール系樹脂フィルムで構成され、波長470nmにおける透過率(Ts470)が波長600nmにおける透過率(Ts600)よりも大きい。換言すれば、本発明の実施形態による偏光膜は、「1<Ts470/Ts600」の関係を満たし、好ましくは「1.02≦Ts470/Ts600≦1.30」の関係を満たす。このような関係を満たす偏光膜は、短波長側の光を長波長側の光よりも積極的に透過させることができる。
偏光度(%)={(Tp-Tc)/(Tp+Tc)}1/2×100
C=R1-R0
R0=((1.50-1)2/(1.50+1)2)×(T1/100)
R1=((n1-1)2/(n1+1)2)×(T1/100)
ここで、R0は、屈折率が1.50である保護層を用いた場合の透過軸反射率であり、n1は使用する保護層の屈折率であり、T1は偏光膜の透過率である。例えば、表面屈折率が1.53である基材(シクロオレフィン系フィルム、ハードコート層付きフィルムなど)を保護層として用いる場合、補正量Cは約0.2%となる。この場合、測定により得られた透過率に0.2%を加算することで、表面の屈折率が1.53である偏光膜を屈折率が1.53である保護層を用いた場合の透過率に換算することが可能である。なお、上記式に基づく計算によれば、偏光膜の透過率T1を2%変化させたときの補正値Cの変化量は0.03%以下であり、偏光膜の透過率が補正値Cの値に与える影響は限定的である。また、保護層が表面反射以外の吸収を有する場合は、吸収量に応じて適切な補正を行うことができる。
直交吸光度=log10(100/Tc)
A項に記載の偏光膜は、例えば、水分率が15重量%以下であり、ヨウ素が吸着配向したPVA系樹脂フィルムを水性溶媒と接触させることを含む製造方法によって得られ得る。このようなPVA系樹脂フィルムを水性溶媒と接触させることにより、PVA-I3 -錯体を形成するポリヨウ素イオンがPVA-I5 -錯体を形成するポリヨウ素イオンよりも優先的に抜け出して脱色が生じ、その結果として、「1<Ts470/Ts600」の関係を満たす偏光膜が簡便に得られ得る。1つの実施形態において、水性溶媒と接触前のPVA系樹脂フィルムの波長λnmにおける透過率に対する接触後の透過率の上昇比(ΔTsλ=Tsλ(接触後)/Tsλ(接触前))がΔTs415>ΔTs470>ΔTs600の関係を満たす。
水分率が15重量%以下であり、ヨウ素が吸着配向したPVA系樹脂フィルム(本明細書において「未脱色原膜」とも称する)は、代表的には、「1≧Ts470/Ts600」の関係を満たす。また、未脱色原膜は、波長380nm~780nmのいずれかの波長で吸収二色性を示し、偏光膜として機能し得る状態であることが好ましい。具体的には、未脱色原膜は、延伸処理、ヨウ素による染色処理、乾燥処理等の各種処理が施されたPVA系樹脂フィルムであることが好ましい。
二層以上の積層体を用いた未脱色原膜の作製は、例えば、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含むPVA系樹脂膜を、長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材との積層体の状態で、空中補助延伸処理、染色処理、水中延伸処理および乾燥収縮処理にこの順に供することを含む方法によって行われ得る。熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体は、例えば、長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材の片側に、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含むPVA系樹脂層(PVA系樹脂膜)を形成して積層体とすることによって得られる。乾燥収縮処理は、例えば、該長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体を長手方向に搬送しながら加熱することにより、幅方向に2%以上収縮させるとともに、該PVA系樹脂膜の水分率が15重量%以下となるまで乾燥させることを含む。PVA系樹脂層におけるハロゲン化物の含有量は、好ましくは、PVA系樹脂100重量部に対して5重量部~20重量部である。水中延伸処理は、好ましくはホウ酸水溶液中で行われる。乾燥収縮処理は、加熱ロールを用いて処理することが好ましく、加熱ロールの温度は、好ましくは、60℃~120℃である。このような製造方法によれば、PVA系樹脂の配向度が高く、優れた光学特性を有する未脱色原膜を得ることができる。
熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂層との積層体を作製する方法としては、任意の適切な方法が採用され得る。好ましくは、熱可塑性樹脂基材の表面に、ハロゲン化物とPVA系樹脂とを含む塗布液を塗布し、乾燥することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂層を形成する。上記のとおり、PVA系樹脂層におけるハロゲン化物の含有量は、好ましくは、PVA系樹脂100重量部に対して5重量部~20重量部である。
特に、高い光学特性を得るためには、乾式延伸(補助延伸)とホウ酸水中延伸を組み合わせる、2段延伸の方法が選択される。2段延伸のように、補助延伸を導入することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材の結晶化を抑制しながら延伸することができ、後のホウ酸水中延伸において熱可塑性樹脂基材の過度の結晶化により延伸性が低下するという問題を解決し、積層体をより高倍率に延伸することができる。さらには、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合、熱可塑性樹脂基材のガラス転移温度の影響を抑制するために、通常の金属ドラム上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合と比べて塗布温度を低くする必要があり、その結果、PVA系樹脂の結晶化が相対的に低くなり、十分な光学特性が得られない、という問題が生じ得る。これに対して、補助延伸を導入することにより、熱可塑性樹脂基材上にPVA系樹脂を塗布する場合でも、PVA系樹脂の結晶性を高めることが可能となり、高い光学特性を達成することが可能となる。また、同時にPVA系樹脂の配向性を事前に高めることで、後の染色処理や延伸処理で水に浸漬された時に、PVA系樹脂の配向性の低下や溶解などの問題を防止することができ、高い光学特性を達成することが可能になる。

である。
必要に応じて、空中補助延伸処理の後、水中延伸処理や染色処理の前に、不溶化処理を施す。上記不溶化処理は、代表的には、ホウ酸水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬することにより行う。不溶化処理を施すことにより、PVA系樹脂層に耐水性を付与し、水に浸漬した時のPVAの配向低下を防止することができる。当該ホウ酸水溶液の濃度は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~4重量部である。不溶化浴(ホウ酸水溶液)の液温は、好ましくは20℃~50℃である。
上記染色処理は、代表的には、PVA系樹脂層をヨウ素で染色することにより行う。具体的には、PVA系樹脂層にヨウ素を吸着させることにより行う。当該吸着方法としては、例えば、ヨウ素を含む染色液にPVA系樹脂層(積層体)を浸漬させる方法、PVA系樹脂層に当該染色液を塗工する方法、当該染色液をPVA系樹脂層に噴霧する方法等が挙げられる。好ましくは、染色液(染色浴)に積層体を浸漬させる方法である。ヨウ素が良好に吸着し得るからである。
必要に応じて、染色処理の後、水中延伸処理の前に、架橋処理を施す。上記架橋処理は、代表的には、ホウ酸水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬させることにより行う。架橋処理を施すことにより、PVA系樹脂層に耐水性を付与し、後の水中延伸で、高温の水中へ浸漬した際のPVAの配向低下を防止することができる。当該ホウ酸水溶液の濃度は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~5重量部である。また、上記染色処理後に架橋処理を行う場合、さらに、ヨウ化物を配合することが好ましい。ヨウ化物を配合することにより、PVA系樹脂層に吸着させたヨウ素の溶出を抑制することができる。ヨウ化物の配合量は、水100重量部に対して、好ましくは1重量部~5重量部である。ヨウ化物の具体例は、上述のとおりである。架橋浴(ホウ酸水溶液)の液温は、好ましくは20℃~50℃である。
水中延伸処理は、積層体を延伸浴に浸漬させて行う。水中延伸処理によれば、上記熱可塑性樹脂基材やPVA系樹脂層のガラス転移温度(代表的には、80℃程度)よりも低い温度で延伸し得、PVA系樹脂層を、その結晶化を抑えながら、高倍率に延伸することができる。その結果、優れた光学特性を有する未脱色原膜を製造することができる。
上記乾燥収縮処理は、例えば、該長尺状の熱可塑性樹脂基材とPVA系樹脂膜との積層体を長手方向に搬送しながら加熱することにより、幅方向に2%以上収縮させるとともに、該PVA系樹脂膜の水分率が15重量%以下となるまで乾燥させることを含む。安定した外観を得る観点から、水分率が12重量%以下、より好ましくは10重量%以下、さらに好ましくは1重量%~5重量%となるまで乾燥させることが好ましい。
好ましくは、水中延伸処理の後、乾燥収縮処理の前に、洗浄処理を施す。上記洗浄処理は、代表的には、ヨウ化カリウム水溶液にPVA系樹脂層を浸漬させることにより行う。
単層のPVA系樹脂膜を用いた未脱色原膜の作製は、自己支持性を有する(すなわち、基材による支持を必要としない)長尺状のPVA系樹脂膜を染色および延伸(代表的には、ホウ酸水溶液中でのロール延伸機を用いた一軸延伸)し、次いで、水分率が15重量%以下、好ましくは12重量%以下、より好ましくは10重量%以下、さらに好ましくは1重量%~5重量%となるまで乾燥させることによって行われ得る。上記染色は、例えば、PVA系樹脂膜をヨウ素水溶液に浸漬することにより行われる。上記一軸延伸の延伸倍率は、好ましくは3~7倍である。延伸は、染色処理後に行ってもよいし、染色しながら行ってもよい。また、延伸してから染色してもよい。必要に応じて、PVA系樹脂膜に、膨潤処理、架橋処理、洗浄処理等が施される。例えば、染色の前にPVA系樹脂膜を水に浸漬して水洗することで、PVA系樹脂膜表面の汚れやブロッキング防止剤を洗浄することができるだけでなく、PVA系樹脂膜を膨潤させて染色ムラ等を防止することができる。
水性溶媒としては、未脱色原膜からヨウ素を溶出させ得る限りにおいて、任意の適切な溶媒が用いられ得る。水性溶媒は、例えば、水または水と水溶性有機溶媒との混合物であり得る。水溶性有機溶媒としては、メタノール、エタノール、n-プロピルアルコール、イソプロピルアルコール等の炭素数が1個~4個の低級モノアルコールおよびグリセリン、エチレングリコール等の多価アルコールが好ましく例示できる。
水性溶媒との接触方法としては、特に制限されず、浸漬、噴霧、塗布等の任意の適切な方法が用いられ得る。未脱色原膜表面の全面を水性溶媒と均一に接触させる観点からは、浸漬が好ましい。
必要に応じて、水性溶媒との接触によって得られた偏光膜を乾燥処理に供してもよい。乾燥温度は、例えば20℃~100℃、好ましくは30℃~80℃であり得る。乾燥後の偏光膜の水分率は、代表的には15重量%以下であり、好ましくは12重量%以下であり、より好ましくは10重量%以下であり、さらに好ましくは1重量%~5重量%である。
本発明の実施形態による偏光板は、偏光膜と該偏光膜の少なくとも片側に配置された保護層とを含み、必要に応じて、位相差層をさらに含み得る。なお、本明細書において、位相差層を含む偏光板を位相差層付偏光板と称する場合がある。
図2は、本発明の1つの実施形態による偏光板の概略断面図である。偏光板100は、偏光膜10と、偏光膜10の一方の側に配置された第1の保護層12と、偏光膜10のもう一方の側に配置された第2の保護層14とを含む。
偏光膜としては、A項に記載の偏光膜が用いられる。
第1の保護層および第2の保護層はそれぞれ、偏光膜の保護層として使用できる任意の適切なフィルムで形成される。当該フィルムの主成分となる材料の具体例としては、トリアセチルセルロース(TAC)等のセルロース系樹脂や、ポリエステル系、ポリビニルアルコール系、ポリカーボネート系、ポリアミド系、ポリイミド系、ポリエーテルスルホン系、ポリスルホン系、ポリスチレン系、ポリノルボルネン系、ポリオレフィン系、(メタ)アクリル系、アセテート系等の透明樹脂等が挙げられる。また、(メタ)アクリル系、ウレタン系、(メタ)アクリルウレタン系、エポキシ系、シリコーン系等の熱硬化型樹脂または紫外線硬化型樹脂等も挙げられる。この他にも、例えば、シロキサン系ポリマー等のガラス質系ポリマーも挙げられる。また、特開2001-343529号公報(WO01/37007)に記載のポリマーフィルムも使用できる。このフィルムの材料としては、例えば、側鎖に置換または非置換のイミド基を有する熱可塑性樹脂と、側鎖に置換または非置換のフェニル基ならびにニトリル基を有する熱可塑性樹脂を含有する樹脂組成物が使用でき、例えば、イソブテンとN-メチルマレイミドからなる交互共重合体と、アクリロニトリル・スチレン共重合体とを有する樹脂組成物が挙げられる。当該ポリマーフィルムは、例えば、上記樹脂組成物の押出成形物であり得る。
第1の位相差層は、目的に応じて任意の適切な光学的特性および/または機械的特性を有し得る。第1の位相差層は、代表的には遅相軸を有する。1つの実施形態においては、第1の位相差層の遅相軸と偏光膜の吸収軸とのなす角度θは、上記のとおり40°~50°であり、好ましくは42°~48°であり、さらに好ましくは約45°である。角度θがこのような範囲であれば、後述するように第1の位相差層をλ/4板とすることにより、非常に優れた円偏光特性(結果として、非常に優れた反射防止特性)を有する位相差層付偏光板が得られ得る。
第2の位相差層は、上記のとおり、屈折率特性がnz>nx=nyの関係を示す、いわゆるポジティブCプレートであり得る。第2の位相差層としてポジティブCプレートを用いることにより、斜め方向の反射を良好に防止することができ、反射防止機能の広視野角化が可能となる。この場合、第2の位相差層の厚み方向の位相差Rth(550)は、好ましくは-50nm~-300nm、より好ましくは-70nm~-250nm、さらに好ましくは-90nm~-200nm、特に好ましくは-100nm~-180nmである。ここで、「nx=ny」は、nxとnyが厳密に等しい場合のみならず、nxとnyが実質的に等しい場合も包含する。すなわち、第2の位相差層の面内位相差Re(550)は10nm未満であり得る。
導電層は、任意の適切な成膜方法(例えば、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、CVD法、イオンプレーティング法、スプレー法等)により、任意の適切な基材上に、金属酸化物膜を成膜して形成され得る。金属酸化物としては、例えば、酸化インジウム、酸化スズ、酸化亜鉛、インジウム-スズ複合酸化物、スズ-アンチモン複合酸化物、亜鉛-アルミニウム複合酸化物、インジウム-亜鉛複合酸化物が挙げられる。なかでも好ましくは、インジウム-スズ複合酸化物(ITO)である。
上記C項に記載の偏光板は、画像表示装置に適用され得る。したがって、本発明は、当該偏光板を備える画像表示装置を包含する。画像表示装置の代表例としては、液晶表示装置、エレクトロルミネセンス(EL)表示装置(例えば、有機EL表示装置、無機EL表示装置)が挙げられる。なかでも、青色発光量の低減による省エネルギー化を実現し得る点で、有機EL表示装置が好ましい。
(1)厚み
製品名「リニアゲージ MODEL D-10HS」(尾崎製作所社製)を用いて測定した。
(2)単体透過率、偏光度および直交吸光度
実施例および比較例で得られたPVA系樹脂膜(偏光膜または未脱色原膜)と保護層との積層体について、PVA系樹脂膜側から、紫外可視分光光度計(大塚電子社製「LPF-200」)を用いて測定した単体透過率Ts、平行透過率Tp、直交透過率Tcをそれぞれ、PVA系樹脂膜のTs、TpおよびTcとした。位相差層付偏光板については、位相差層側から同様に単体透過率Tsを測定した。これらのTs、TpおよびTcは、JIS Z8701の2度視野(C光源)により測定して視感度補正を行なったY値である。なお、保護層の屈折率は1.53であり、偏光膜の保護層とは反対側の表面の屈折率は1.53であった。
得られたTpおよびTcから、下記式により偏光度Pを求めた。
偏光度P(%)={(Tp-Tc)/(Tp+Tc)}1/2×100
また、各波長での測定されたTcを用いて、下記式により各波長における直交吸光度を求めた。
直交吸光度=log10(100/Tc)
また、波長470nmおよび600nmでの測定されたTsをそれぞれ、Ts470およびTs600とした。
なお、分光光度計は、日本分光社製「V-7100」などでも同等の測定をすることが可能であり、いずれの分光光度計を用いた場合であっても同等の測定結果が得られることが確認されている。
(3)水分率
乾燥処理直後の未脱色原膜(積層体で延伸した場合、延伸基材は剥離する)を100mm×100mm以上の大きさに切り出し、電子天秤にて、処理前重量を測定する。その後120℃に保たれた加熱オーブンに2時間投入し、取り出し後の重量(処理後重量)を測定し、下記式により水分率を求めた。
水分率[%]=(処理前重量-処理後重量)/処理前重量×100
(4)ヘイズ

1.偏光膜および偏光板の作製
厚み30μmのPVA系樹脂フィルム(クラレ製、製品名「PE3000」)の長尺ロールを、30℃水浴中に浸漬させつつ搬送方向に2.2倍に延伸した後、ヨウ素濃度0.04重量%、カリウム濃度0.3重量%の30℃水溶液中に浸漬して染色しながら、全く延伸していないフィルム(元長)を基準として3倍に延伸した。次いで、この延伸フィルムを、ホウ酸濃度3重量%、ヨウ化カリウム濃度3重量%の30℃の水溶液中に浸漬しながら、元長基準で3.3倍までさらに延伸し、続いて、ホウ酸濃度4重量%、ヨウ化カリウム濃度5重量%の60℃水溶液中に浸漬しながら、元長基準で6倍までさらに延伸し、最後に60℃に保たれたオーブンで5分の乾燥処理を施すことによって、厚み12μmの偏光膜(未脱色原膜a1)を作製した。得られた未脱色原膜a1の水分率は10.0重量%であり、単体透過率は42.5%であった。
2-1.ポリエステルカーボネート系樹脂の重合
撹拌翼および100℃に制御された還流冷却器を具備した縦型反応器2器からなるバッチ重合装置を用いて重合を行った。ビス[9-(2-フェノキシカルボニルエチル)フルオレン-9-イル]メタン29.60質量部(0.046mol)、イソソルビド(ISB)29.21質量部(0.200mol)、スピログリコール(SPG)42.28質量部(0.139mol)、ジフェニルカーボネート(DPC)63.77質量部(0.298mol)及び触媒として酢酸カルシウム1水和物1.19×10-2質量部(6.78×10-5mol)を仕込んだ。反応器内を減圧窒素置換した後、熱媒で加温を行い、内温が100℃になった時点で撹拌を開始した。昇温開始40分後に内温を220℃に到達させ、この温度を保持するように制御すると同時に減圧を開始し、220℃に到達してから90分で13.3kPaにした。重合反応とともに副生するフェノール蒸気を100℃の還流冷却器に導き、フェノール蒸気中に若干量含まれるモノマー成分を反応器に戻し、凝縮しないフェノール蒸気は45℃の凝縮器に導いて回収した。第1反応器に窒素を導入して一旦大気圧まで復圧させた後、第1反応器内のオリゴマー化された反応液を第2反応器に移した。次いで、第2反応器内の昇温および減圧を開始して、50分で内温240℃、圧力0.2kPaにした。その後、所定の攪拌動力となるまで重合を進行させた。所定動力に到達した時点で反応器に窒素を導入して復圧し、生成したポリエステルカーボネート系樹脂を水中に押し出し、ストランドをカッティングしてペレットを得た。
得られたポリエステルカーボネート系樹脂(ペレット)を80℃で5時間真空乾燥をした後、単軸押出機(東芝機械社製、シリンダー設定温度:250℃)、Tダイ(幅200mm、設定温度:250℃)、チルロール(設定温度:120~130℃)および巻取機を備えたフィルム製膜装置を用いて、厚み130μmの長尺状の樹脂フィルムを作製した。得られた長尺状の樹脂フィルムを、所定の位相差が得られるように調整しながら延伸し、厚み48μmの位相差フィルムを得た。延伸条件は、幅方向に、延伸温度143℃、延伸倍率2.8倍であった。得られた位相差フィルムのRe(550)は141nmであり、Re(450)/Re(550)は0.86であり、Nz係数は1.12であった。
上記1.で得られた偏光板の偏光膜表面に、上記2.で得られた位相差フィルムを、アクリル系粘着剤(厚み15μm)を介して貼り合わせた。このとき、偏光膜の吸収軸と位相差フィルムの遅相軸とが45°の角度をなすようにして貼り合わせた。このようにして、[位相差層/偏光膜A1/保護層]の構成を有する位相差層付偏光板を得た。
55℃の水中に9分間浸漬する代わりに、65℃の水に3分間浸漬したこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、[偏光膜A2/保護層]の構成を有する偏光板を得た。また、当該偏光板を用いたこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、位相差層付偏光板を得た。
55℃の水中に9分間浸漬する代わりに、23℃の水に31時間浸漬したこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、[偏光膜A3/保護層]の構成を有する偏光板を得た。また、当該偏光板を用いたこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、位相差層付偏光板を得た。
実施例1-1と同様にして作製した[未脱色原膜a1/保護層]の構成を有する光学積層体を偏光板として用いた。また、当該偏光板を用いたこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、位相差層付偏光板を得た。
熱可塑性樹脂基材として、長尺状で、Tg約75℃である、非晶質のイソフタル共重合ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム(厚み:100μm)を用い、樹脂基材の片面に、コロナ処理を施した。
ポリビニルアルコール(重合度4200、ケン化度99.2モル%)およびアセトアセチル変性PVA(日本合成化学工業社製、商品名「ゴーセファイマー」)を9:1で混合したPVA系樹脂100重量部に、ヨウ化カリウム13重量部を添加したものを水に溶かし、PVA水溶液(塗布液)を調製した。
樹脂基材のコロナ処理面に、上記PVA水溶液を塗布して60℃で乾燥することにより、厚み13μmのPVA系樹脂層を形成し、積層体を作製した。
得られた積層体を、130℃のオーブン内で縦方向(長手方向)に2.4倍に一軸延伸した(空中補助延伸処理)。
次いで、積層体を、液温40℃の不溶化浴(水100重量部に対して、ホウ酸を4重量部配合して得られたホウ酸水溶液)に30秒間浸漬させた(不溶化処理)。
次いで、液温30℃の染色浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ素とヨウ化カリウムを1:7の重量比で配合して得られたヨウ素水溶液)に、最終的に得られる未脱色原膜の単体透過率(Ts)が42.3%となるように濃度を調整しながら60秒間浸漬させた(染色処理)。
次いで、液温40℃の架橋浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを3重量部配合し、ホウ酸を5重量部配合して得られたホウ酸水溶液)に30秒間浸漬させた(架橋処理)。
その後、積層体を、液温70℃のホウ酸水溶液(ホウ酸濃度4重量%、ヨウ化カリウム濃度5重量%)に浸漬させながら、周速の異なるロール間で縦方向(長手方向)に総延伸倍率が5.5倍となるように一軸延伸を行った(水中延伸処理)。
その後、積層体を液温20℃の洗浄浴(水100重量部に対して、ヨウ化カリウムを4重量部配合して得られた水溶液)に浸漬させた(洗浄処理)。
その後、約90℃に保たれたオーブン中で乾燥しながら、表面温度が約75℃に保たれたSUS製の加熱ロールに接触させた(乾燥収縮処理)。乾燥収縮処理による積層体の幅方向の収縮率は2%であった。
このようにして、樹脂基材上に水分率が4.5%であり、厚み5.4μmの未脱色原膜を形成し、未脱色原膜の表面にシクロオレフィン系フィルム(日本ゼオン社製、Zeonor、厚み:25μm)をUV硬化型接着剤(厚み1.0μm)により貼り合わせ、その後、樹脂基材を剥離して[未脱色原膜b1/保護層]の構成を有する光学積層体を得た。
50℃の水中に9分間浸漬する代わりに、60℃の水に3分間浸漬したこと以外は実施例2-1と同様にして、[偏光膜B2/保護層]の構成を有する偏光板を得た。また、当該偏光板を用いたこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、位相差層付偏光板を得た。
実施例2-1と同様にして作製した[未脱色原膜b1/保護層]の構成を有する光学積層体を偏光板として用いた。また、当該偏光板を用いたこと以外は実施例1-1と同様にして、位相差層付偏光板を得た。
