- the present inventors consider the result to show this. Moreover, since the barrier member A peeled off as the temporary support is not included in the liquid crystal display device of the example, the thickness of the liquid crystal display device is reduced by the thickness of the barrier member A.
- the liquid crystal display device of the example showed higher front luminance than the liquid crystal display device of the comparative example (FIGS. 3 to 10). This is considered to be because the wavelength conversion layer containing the quantum dot which is a luminescent material is thicker than the liquid crystal display device of a comparative example. Although the wavelength conversion layer is thus thickened, the barrier member A is peeled off as a temporary support, so the total thickness of the liquid crystal panel with wavelength conversion layer is the same as in the comparative example. As described above, according to the present invention, the liquid crystal display device can be thinned without relying on the thinning of the wavelength conversion layer.
- the present invention is useful in the field of manufacturing liquid crystal display devices.

Abstract
Description
本発明は、転写材料に関するものであり、詳しくは、液晶パネルおよび液晶表示装置の製造に使用可能な転写材料に関する。
更に本発明は、この転写材料を用いる液晶パネルおよび液晶表示装置の製造方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a transfer material, and more particularly to a transfer material that can be used for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal display device.
Furthermore, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal panel using the transfer material and a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device.
液晶表示装置(以下、LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)とも言う)などのフラットパネルディスプレイは、消費電力が小さく、省スペースの画像表示装置として年々その用途が広がっている。液晶表示装置は、少なくともバックライトと液晶セルとから構成され、通常、更に、バックライト側偏光板、視認側偏光板などの部材が含まれる。 Flat panel displays such as liquid crystal display devices (hereinafter also referred to as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)) consume less power and are increasingly used as space-saving image display devices year by year. The liquid crystal display device is composed of at least a backlight and a liquid crystal cell, and usually further includes members such as a backlight side polarizing plate and a viewing side polarizing plate.
フラットパネルディスプレイ市場では、LCD性能改善として、色再現性の向上が進行している。この点に関し、近年、発光材料として、量子ドット(Quantum Dot、QD、量子点とも呼ばれる。)が注目を集めている(特許文献1参照)。例えば、バックライトから量子ドットを含む層に励起光が入射すると、量子ドットが励起され、励起光とは異なる波長の蛍光を発光(波長変換)する。ここで異なる発光特性を有する量子ドットを用いることで、赤色光、緑色光、および青色光を波長変換部材から出射させ白色光を具現化することができる。量子ドットによる蛍光は半値幅が小さいため、得られる白色光は高輝度であり、しかも色再現性に優れる。このような量子ドットを用いた3波長光源化技術の進行により、色再現域は、NTSC(National Television System Committee)比72%から100%へと拡大している。 In the flat panel display market, color reproducibility is improving as LCD performance improvement. In this regard, in recent years, quantum dots (also referred to as Quantum Dot, QD, and quantum dots) have attracted attention as light emitting materials (see Patent Document 1). For example, when excitation light enters a layer including quantum dots from a backlight, the quantum dots are excited and emit fluorescence (wavelength conversion) having a wavelength different from that of the excitation light. Here, by using quantum dots having different emission characteristics, red light, green light, and blue light can be emitted from the wavelength conversion member to realize white light. Since the fluorescence due to the quantum dots has a small half-value width, the white light obtained has high brightness and excellent color reproducibility. With the progress of the three-wavelength light source technology using such quantum dots, the color gamut has been expanded from 72% to 100% in NTSC (National Television System) ratio.
上記の通り、量子ドットは、色再現性向上によりLCDの性能を改善し得る有用な材料である。
一方で、近年急速に広まっているタブレット型PC(Personal Computer)やモバイル用途など中小型LCD市場では、薄型化の要求が高い。この薄型化の流れは、TVを中心とする大型LCD市場にも及んでいる。かかる状況下、LCDを構成するガラスやフィルムを薄手化することや、部材の機能統合による薄手化などの様々な手段により、LCDの薄型化を図ることが検討されている。
As described above, quantum dots are useful materials that can improve LCD performance by improving color reproducibility.
On the other hand, in the market for small and medium-sized LCDs such as tablet PCs (Personal Computers) and mobile applications, which are rapidly spreading in recent years, there is a high demand for thinning. This trend of thinning extends to the large LCD market centering on TV. Under such circumstances, it has been studied to reduce the thickness of the LCD by various means such as reducing the thickness of the glass or film constituting the LCD or reducing the thickness by integrating the functions of members.
そこで本発明の目的は、発光材料として量子ドットを含む液晶表示装置の薄型化を可能にするための新たな手段を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new means for enabling a liquid crystal display device including a quantum dot as a light emitting material to be thinned.
量子ドットには、酸素に接触すると光酸化反応により発光強度が低下する(耐光性が低い)という課題がある。この点に関し、特許文献1には、量子ドットを酸素等から保護するために、量子ドットを含むフィルムにバリア部材(バリア層)を積層することが提案されている。このバリア部材は、量子ドットを酸素等からより効果的に保護するためには、量子ドットを含む層(以下、「波長変換層」とも記載する。)を有する波長変換部材の両面に設けることが好ましい。
本発明者らは、この点に着目しつつ、上記目的を達成するために鋭意検討を重ねた。その結果、波長変換部材の両面にバリア部材を設けつつ、片面のバリア部材を剥離可能な状態とする(仮支持体とする)ことで、波長変換部材の両面がバリア部材により保護された転写材料となり、この転写材料を用いることで、転写材料から仮支持体を剥離し転写対象物に貼り合わせることにより、液晶表示装置を製造することが可能になるという、従来、まったく提案されていなかった新たな手段を見出すに至った。この手段によれば、波長変換部材(より詳しくは、波長変換部材の波長変換層に含まれる量子ドット)は、転写対象物に転写されるまでは両面がバリア部材により保護され、転写されて液晶表示装置に組み込まれた後は片面のバリア部材が除去されているため薄手化される。バリア部材が除去された面は転写対象物により保護されることになり、量子ドットが酸素等により劣化することを防ぐことができる。
なお上記の液晶表示装置の薄型化を達成するための手段として、量子ドットを含む層(波長変換層)を薄手化することも考えられる。しかるに、発光材料である量子ドットを含む層を薄層化することは、発光強度の低下、およびそれによる液晶表示装置の輝度低下の原因となり得る。これに対し、上記転写材料によれば、波長変換層の薄手化に依拠することなく、液晶表示装置の薄型化を達成することが可能となる。
本発明は、以上の知見に基づき完成された。
Quantum dots have a problem that when they come into contact with oxygen, the light emission intensity decreases due to a photo-oxidation reaction (low light resistance). In this regard, Patent Document 1 proposes laminating a barrier member (barrier layer) on a film containing quantum dots in order to protect the quantum dots from oxygen and the like. This barrier member is provided on both surfaces of a wavelength conversion member having a layer containing quantum dots (hereinafter also referred to as “wavelength conversion layer”) in order to more effectively protect the quantum dots from oxygen or the like. preferable.
The present inventors made extensive studies to achieve the above-mentioned object while paying attention to this point. As a result, a transfer material in which both surfaces of the wavelength conversion member are protected by the barrier member by providing a barrier member on both surfaces of the wavelength conversion member and making the barrier member on one side peelable (a temporary support). Thus, by using this transfer material, a liquid crystal display device can be manufactured by peeling the temporary support from the transfer material and attaching it to the transfer object. I came to find the right means. According to this means, the wavelength conversion member (more specifically, the quantum dots included in the wavelength conversion layer of the wavelength conversion member) is protected by the barrier member on both sides until transferred to the transfer object, and transferred to the liquid crystal. After being assembled in the display device, the barrier member on one side is removed, so that it is thinned. The surface from which the barrier member has been removed is protected by the transfer object, and the quantum dots can be prevented from being deteriorated by oxygen or the like.
Note that, as a means for achieving thinning of the liquid crystal display device described above, it is conceivable to thin the layer containing the quantum dots (wavelength conversion layer). However, thinning a layer containing quantum dots that are light emitting materials can cause a decrease in emission intensity and a decrease in luminance of the liquid crystal display device. On the other hand, according to the transfer material, it is possible to achieve a thin liquid crystal display device without relying on a thin wavelength conversion layer.
The present invention has been completed based on the above findings.

The wavelength conversion layer is coated with a quantum dot polymerizable composition containing the above-described components and a known additive that can be optionally added, for example, on the surface of the barrier member to remove the solvent, and then irradiated with light. It can be formed by polymerizing and curing by, for example.

The total thickness of the wavelength conversion layer is preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 50 μm or more, and still more preferably 80 μm or more. From the viewpoint of achieving luminance enhancement by obtaining high intensity light emission from the wavelength conversion layer, it is preferable that the wavelength conversion layer contains more quantum dots, which are light emitting materials, in order to increase the thickness of the wavelength conversion layer.

量子ドット含有重合性組成物の硬化は、量子ドット含有重合性組成物をバリア部材Aとバリア部材Bとの間に挟持した状態で行ってもよい。かかる硬化処理を含む転写材料の製造工程の一態様を、図面を参照し以下に説明する。ただし、本発明は、下記態様に限定されるものではない。 The curing of the quantum dot-containing polymerizable composition may be performed in a state where the quantum dot-containing polymerizable composition is sandwiched between the barrier member A and the barrier member B. One aspect of the production process of the transfer material including such curing treatment will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
図1は、波長変換部材の製造装置の一例の概略構成図であり、図2は、図1に示す製造装置の部分拡大図である。図1、2に示す製造装置を用いる波長変換部材の製造工程は、連続搬送される第1の基材(以下、「第1のフィルム」という。)の表面に量子ドット含有重合性組成物を塗布し塗膜を形成する工程と、塗膜の上に、連続搬送される第2の基材(以下、「第2のフィルム」ともいう。)をラミネートし(重ねあわせ)、第1のフィルムと第2のフィルムとで塗膜を挟持する工程と、第1のフィルムと第2のフィルムとで塗膜を挟持した状態で、第1のフィルム、および第2のフィルムの何れかをバックアップローラに巻きかけて、連続搬送しながら光照射し、塗膜を重合硬化させて波長変換層(硬化層)を形成する工程とを少なくとも含む。第1のフィルム、第2のフィルムとして、バリア部材A、Bを用いることにより、バリア部材Aとバリア部材Bとの間に波長変換部材を有する転写材料を得ることができる。第1のフィルムおよび第2のフィルムのいずれか一方がバリアフィルムAであり、他方がバリアフィルムBであればよく、どちらがバリアフィルムA、Bであるかは問わない。 FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an example of a wavelength conversion member manufacturing apparatus, and FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view of the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. The manufacturing process of the wavelength conversion member using the manufacturing apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a quantum dot-containing polymerizable composition on the surface of a first substrate (hereinafter referred to as “first film”) that is continuously conveyed. The step of applying and forming a coating film, and laminating (overlapping) a second substrate (hereinafter also referred to as “second film”) continuously conveyed on the coating film, the first film A step of sandwiching the coating film between the first film and the second film, and a state where the coating film is sandwiched between the first film and the second film, and either the first film or the second film is a backup roller And irradiating with light while continuously transporting, polymerizing and curing the coating film to form a wavelength conversion layer (cured layer). By using barrier members A and B as the first film and the second film, a transfer material having a wavelength conversion member between barrier member A and barrier member B can be obtained. Any one of the first film and the second film may be the barrier film A and the other may be the barrier film B, and it does not matter which is the barrier film A or B.
より詳しくは、まず、図示しない送出機から第1のフィルム10が塗布部20へと連続搬送される。送出機から、例えば、第1のフィルム10が1~50m/分の搬送速度で送り出される。但し、この搬送速度に限定されない。送出される際、例えば、第1のフィルム10には、20~150N/mの張力、好ましくは30~100N/mの張力が加えられる。
More specifically, first, the
塗布部20では、連続搬送される第1のフィルム10の表面に量子ドット含有重合性組成物(以下、「塗布液」とも記載する。)が塗布され、塗膜22(図2参照)が形成される。塗布部20では、例えば、ダイコーター24と、ダイコーター24に対向配置されたバックアップローラ26とが設置されている。第1のフィルム10の塗膜22の形成される表面と反対の表面をバックアップローラ26に巻きかけて、連続搬送される第1のフィルム10の表面にダイコーター24の吐出口から塗布液が塗布され、塗膜22が形成される。ここで塗膜22とは、第1のフィルム10上に塗布された硬化前の量子ドット含有重合性組成物をいう。
In the
本実施の形態では、塗布装置としてエクストルージョンコーティング法を適用したダイコーター24を示したが、これに限定されない。例えば、カーテンコーティング法、エクストルージョンコーティング法、ロッドコーティング法またはロールコーティング法等、種々の方法を適用した塗布装置を用いることができる。
In the present embodiment, the
塗布部20を通過し、その上に塗膜22が形成された第1のフィルム10は、ラミネート部30に連続搬送される。ラミネート部30では、塗膜22の上に、連続搬送される第2のフィルム50がラミネートされ、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とで塗膜22が挟持される。なお量子ドット含有重合性組成物が溶媒を含む場合、ラミネート部30前の任意の位置に、溶媒除去のために、図示されていない乾燥ゾーンを設けてもよい。乾燥ゾーンにおける乾燥処理は、加熱雰囲気中を通過させること、乾燥風を吹きつけること等の公知の方法によって行うことができる。
The
ラミネート部30には、ラミネートローラ32と、ラミネートローラ32を囲う加熱チャンバー34とが設置されている。加熱チャンバー34には第1のフィルム10を通過させるための開口部36、および第2のフィルム50を通過させるための開口部38が設けられている。
The
ラミネートローラ32に対向する位置には、バックアップローラ62が配置されている。塗膜22の形成された第1のフィルム10は、塗膜22の形成面と反対の表面がバックアップローラ62に巻きかけられ、ラミネート位置Pへと連続搬送される。ラミネート位置Pは第2のフィルム50と塗膜22との接触が開始する位置を意味する。第1のフィルム10はラミネート位置Pに到達する前にバックアップローラ62に巻きかけられることが好ましい。仮に第1のフィルム10にシワが発生した場合でも、バックアップローラ62によりシワがラミネート位置Pに達するまでに矯正され、除去できるからである。したがって、第1のフィルム10がバックアップローラ62に巻きかけられた位置(接触位置)と、ラミネート位置Pまでの距離L1は長いことが好ましく、例えば、30mm以上が好ましく、その上限値は、通常、バックアップローラ62の直径とパスラインとにより決定される。
A
本実施の形態では硬化部60で使用されるバックアップローラ62とラミネートローラ32とにより第2のフィルム50のラミネートが行われる。即ち、硬化部60で使用されるバックアップローラ62が、ラミネート部30で使用するローラとして兼用される。ただし、上記形態に限定されるものではなく、ラミネート部30に、バックアップローラ62と別に、ラミネート用のローラを設置し、バックアップローラ62を兼用しないようにすることもできる。
In the present embodiment, the
硬化部60で使用されるバックアップローラ62をラミネート部30で使用することで、ローラの数を減らすことができる。また、バックアップローラ62は、第1のフィルム10に対するヒートローラとしても使用できる。
By using the
図示しない送出機から送出された第2のフィルム50は、ラミネートローラ32に巻きかけられ、ラミネートローラ32とバックアップローラ62との間に連続搬送される。第2のフィルム50は、ラミネート位置Pで、第1のフィルム10に形成された塗膜22の上にラミネートされる。これにより、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とにより塗膜22が挟持される。ラミネートとは、第2のフィルム50を塗膜22の上に重ねあわせ、積層することをいう。
The
ラミネートローラ32とバックアップローラ62との距離L2は、第1のフィルム10と、塗膜22を重合硬化させた波長変換層(硬化層)28と、第2のフィルム50と、の合計厚さの値以上であることが好ましい。また、L2は第1のフィルム10と塗膜22と第2のフィルム50との合計厚さに5mmを加えた長さ以下であることが好ましい。距離L2を合計厚さに5mmを加えた長さ以下にすることより、第2のフィルム50と塗膜22との間に泡が侵入することを防止することができる。ここでラミネートローラ32とバックアップローラ62との距離L2とは、ラミネートローラ32の外周面とバックアップローラ62の外周面との最短距離をいう。
The distance L2 between the laminating
ラミネートローラ32とバックアップローラ62の回転精度は、ラジアル振れで0.05mm以下、好ましくは0.01mm以下である。ラジアル振れが小さいほど、塗膜22の厚さ分布を小さくすることができる。
Rotational accuracy of the laminating
また、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とで塗膜22を挟持した後の熱変形を抑制するため、硬化部60のバックアップローラ62の温度と第1のフィルム10の温度との差、およびバックアップローラ62の温度と第2のフィルム50の温度との差は30℃以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは15℃以下、最も好ましくは同じである。
Further, in order to suppress thermal deformation after the
バックアップローラ62の温度との差を小さくするため、加熱チャンバー34が設けられている場合には、第1のフィルム10、および第2のフィルム50を加熱チャンバー34内で加熱することが好ましい。例えば、加熱チャンバー34には、図示しない熱風発生装置により熱風が供給され、第1のフィルム10、および第2のフィルム50を加熱することができる。
In order to reduce the difference from the temperature of the
第1のフィルム10が、温度調整されたバックアップローラ62に巻きかけられることにより、バックアップローラ62によって第1のフィルム10を加熱してもよい。
The
一方、第2のフィルム50については、ラミネートローラ32をヒートローラとすることにより、第2のフィルム50をラミネートローラ32で加熱することができる。
ただし、加熱チャンバー34、およびヒートローラは必須ではなく、必要に応じで設けることができる。
On the other hand, the
However, the
次に、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とにより塗膜22が挟持された状態で、硬化部60に連続搬送される。図面に示す態様では、硬化部60における硬化は光照射により行われるが、量子ドット含有重合性組成物に含まれる重合性化合物が加熱により重合するものである場合には、温風の吹き付け等の加熱により、硬化を行うことができる。
Next, the
バックアップローラ62と、バックアップローラ62に対向する位置には、光照射装置64が設けられている。バックアップローラ62と光照射装置64と間を、塗膜22を挟持した第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とが連続搬送される。光照射装置により照射される光は、量子ドット含有重合性組成物に含まれる光重合性化合物の種類に応じて決定すればよく、一例としては、紫外線が挙げられる。ここで紫外線とは、波長280~400nmの光をいうものとする。紫外線を発生する光源として、例えば、低圧水銀灯、中圧水銀灯、高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、カーボンアーク灯、メタルハライドランプ、キセノンランプ等を用いることができる。光照射量は塗膜の重合硬化を進行させ得る範囲に設定すればよく、例えば、一例として100~10000mJ/cm2の照射量の紫外線を塗膜22に向けて照射することができる。
A
硬化部60では、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50とにより塗膜22を挟持した状態で、第1のフィルム10をバックアップローラ62に巻きかけて、連続搬送しながら光照射装置64から光照射を行い、塗膜22を硬化させて波長変換層(硬化層)28を形成することができる。
In the
本実施の形態では、第1のフィルム10側をバックアップローラ62に巻きかけて、連続搬送したが、第2のフィルム50をバックアップローラ62に巻きかけて、連続搬送させることもできる。
In the present embodiment, the
バックアップローラ62に巻きかけるとは、第1のフィルム10および第2のフィルム50の何れかが、あるラップ角でバックアップローラ62の表面に接触している状態をいう。したがって、連続搬送される間、第1のフィルム10および第2のフィルム50はバックアップローラ62の回転と同期して移動する。バックアップローラ62へ巻きかけは、少なくとも紫外線が照射されている間であればよい。
“Wrapping around the
バックアップローラ62は、円柱状の形状の本体と、本体の両端部に配置された回転軸とを備えている。バックアップローラ62の本体は、例えば、φ200~1000mmの直径を有している。バックアップローラ62の直径φについて制限はない。積層フィルムのカール変形と、設備コストと、回転精度とを考慮すると直径φ300~500mmであることが好ましい。バックアップローラ62の本体に温度調節器を取り付けることにより、バックアップローラ62の温度を調整することができる。
The
バックアップローラ62の温度は、光照射時の発熱と、塗膜22の硬化効率と、第1のフィルム10と第2のフィルム50のバックアップローラ62上でのシワ変形の発生と、を考慮して、決定することができる。バックアップローラ62は、例えば、10~95℃の温度範囲に設定することが好ましく、15~85℃であることがより好ましい。ここでローラに関する温度とは、ローラの表面温度をいうものとする。
The temperature of the
ラミネート位置Pと光照射装置64との距離L3は、例えば30mm以上とすることができる。
The distance L3 between the laminate position P and the
光照射により塗膜22は硬化層28となり、第1のフィルム10と硬化層28と第2のフィルム50とを含む波長変換部材70が製造される。波長変換部材70は、剥離ローラ80によりバックアップローラ62から剥離される。波長変換部材70は、図示しない巻取機に連続搬送され、次いで巻取機により波長変換部材70はロール状に巻き取られる。
The
以上、転写材料の製造工程の一態様について説明したが、本発明は上記態様に限定されるものではない。例えば、量子ドット含有重合性組成物をバリア部材A、Bの一方に塗布し、その上に他方のバリア部材を、ラミネートすることなく、必要に応じて行われる乾燥処理の後、硬化を施すことにより、波長変換部材(波長変換層)を形成してもよい。形成された波長変換層には、無機層等の一層以上の他の層を、公知の方法により積層することもできる。 As mentioned above, although one aspect of the production process of the transfer material has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above aspect. For example, the quantum dot-containing polymerizable composition is applied to one of the barrier members A and B, and the other barrier member is not laminated on the barrier member A and B, but is cured after a drying treatment as necessary. Thus, a wavelength conversion member (wavelength conversion layer) may be formed. One or more other layers such as an inorganic layer may be laminated on the formed wavelength conversion layer by a known method.
(易剥離化のための手段)
波長変換部材は、一方の面にバリア部材Bを有し、他方の面に仮支持体(バリア部材A)を有する。仮支持体は、転写材料を転写対象物に転写する(貼り合わせる)際に剥離除去されるものであるため、仮支持体と波長変換部材との界面は、容易に剥離可能であることが好ましい。本発明および本明細書において、容易に剥離可能とは、仮支持体を波長変換部材表面に対して垂直方向に引き上げるときの力の大きさが、JIS Z 0237に記載の90°引き剥がし粘着力として0.2N/10mm以下であることをいう。このために、一態様では、仮支持体(バリア部材A)の波長変換部材側最表層を、後述する易接着層以外の層とすることができる。そのような層としては、一態様では、後述する無機層を挙げることができる。無機層は、一般に、波長変換部材(中でも、量子ドットを有機マトリックス中に含む波長変換層、特に、量子ドット含有(メタ)アクリレート系重合性組成物を硬化させてなる硬化層である波長変換層)との密着性が低い傾向がある。したがって、仮支持体(バリア部材A)の波長変換部材側最表層を無機層とすることにより、仮支持体(バリア部材A)と波長変換部材との界面を、容易に剥離可能な状態にすることができる。また、他の一態様では、波長変換部材の仮支持体(バリア部材A)側最表面を、易剥離面とすることができる。また、更に他の一態様では、仮支持体(バリア部材A)の波長変換部材側最表面を、易剥離面とすることができる。
(Means for easy peeling)
The wavelength conversion member has a barrier member B on one surface and a temporary support (barrier member A) on the other surface. Since the temporary support is peeled and removed when the transfer material is transferred (bonded) to the transfer object, the interface between the temporary support and the wavelength conversion member is preferably easily peelable. . In the present invention and the present specification, easily peelable means that the magnitude of the force when pulling up the temporary support in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the wavelength conversion member is 90 ° peel adhesive strength described in JIS Z 0237 It is said that it is 0.2N / 10mm or less. For this reason, in one aspect, the wavelength conversion member side outermost layer of the temporary support (barrier member A) can be a layer other than the easy-adhesion layer described later. As such a layer, the inorganic layer mentioned later can be mentioned in one mode. The inorganic layer is generally a wavelength conversion member (in particular, a wavelength conversion layer containing quantum dots in an organic matrix, particularly a wavelength conversion layer that is a cured layer formed by curing a quantum dot-containing (meth) acrylate-based polymerizable composition). ) Tend to be low. Therefore, by making the wavelength conversion member side outermost layer of the temporary support (barrier member A) an inorganic layer, the interface between the temporary support (barrier member A) and the wavelength conversion member can be easily peeled off. be able to. Moreover, in another one aspect | mode, the temporary support body (barrier member A) side outermost surface of a wavelength conversion member can be made into an easily peelable surface. In still another embodiment, the wavelength conversion member side outermost surface of the temporary support (barrier member A) can be an easily peelable surface.
易剥離面とは、剥離を容易にするための処理が施された面をいい、好ましい易剥離面 成方法としては、波長変換部材または仮支持体の表層領域に粒子を偏在させる方法を挙げることができる。 The easy peeling surface refers to a surface that has been subjected to a treatment for facilitating peeling, and a preferable easy peeling surface forming method includes a method in which particles are unevenly distributed on the surface layer region of the wavelength conversion member or temporary support. Can do.
このために、一態様では、波長変換部材の仮支持体(バリア部材A)側表層として、または仮支持体(バリア部材A)の波長変換部材側表層として、またはこれら両表層として、粒子含有層を設ける。粒子含有層は、この層の表面に粒子が存在することにより表面特性が変化し、易剥離面として機能し得る。
また、他の態様では、例えば、波長変換層形成時に、粒子含有量の異なる二種以上の塗布液を用いることで、重力により粒子が層の厚さ方向で偏在し、片面のみ粒子含有量の異なる領域を形成することができる。例えば、粒子を含まない塗布液により第一領域を形成した後、この領域の上に粒子含有塗布液を塗布し第二領域を形成することで、粒子偏在領域(第二領域)を有する波長変換層を形成することができる。このような粒子偏在領域を設けることで、波長変換部材表面を易剥離面として機能させることができる。
For this reason, in one aspect, the particle-containing layer as a surface layer on the temporary support (barrier member A) side of the wavelength conversion member, as a surface layer on the wavelength conversion member side of the temporary support (barrier member A), or as both of these surface layers Is provided. The particle-containing layer has a surface property that is changed by the presence of particles on the surface of the layer, and can function as an easily peelable surface.
In another embodiment, for example, at the time of forming the wavelength conversion layer, by using two or more kinds of coating liquids having different particle contents, the particles are unevenly distributed in the thickness direction of the layer due to gravity, and the particle content is only on one side. Different regions can be formed. For example, after the first region is formed with a coating solution that does not contain particles, the second region is formed by applying the particle-containing coating solution on this region, thereby converting the wavelength having the unevenly distributed region (second region). A layer can be formed. By providing such a particle uneven distribution region, the surface of the wavelength conversion member can function as an easily peelable surface.
粒子偏在領域は、波長変換部材の断面を電子顕微鏡で観察し、厚さ方向における粒子の数を数えることにより特定することができる。または、波長変換部材の表層をカーボンでエッチングしつつ、SEM-EDX(Scanning Electron Microscope - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer、走査型分析電子顕微鏡;例えばJEOL社製JSM670型)を用いて、波長変換部材の厚さ方向(深さ方向)の元素の強度を測定することによって、波長変換部材において粒子偏在領域を特定することができる。 The particle uneven distribution region can be specified by observing the cross section of the wavelength conversion member with an electron microscope and counting the number of particles in the thickness direction. Alternatively, while etching the surface layer of the wavelength conversion member with carbon, using a SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscope®-Energy Dispersive®X-ray Spectrometer, Scanning Analytical Electron Microscope; for example, JEOL type JSM670) By measuring the intensity of the element in the thickness direction (depth direction), it is possible to identify the uneven distribution region of the particles in the wavelength conversion member.
具体的には、波長変換部材における粒子の偏在の指標(粒子偏在性の指標)としては、以下の方法により求められる値を用いることができる。
(粒子偏在性の指標)
波長変換部材を切削した断面、例えばミクロトームにより切削した断面を、SEM-EDX(例えばJEOL社製JSM670型)を用いて観察し、観察対象の断面における粒子の個数を計測する。波長変換部材の励起光入射側表面および出射側表面に垂直な方向をx軸とする。x軸に沿った波長変換部材の厚さをLとし、x=0が仮支持体側表面、x=Lがバリア部材B側表面と定義する。切削断面における粒子の規格化数密度分布をφ(x)とする。
つまり、
式1
∫(0→L)φ(x)dx=1
が成立する。
波長変換部材における粒子の偏在性を表す指標として、下式で表されるΦを定義する。
式2
Φ=∫(0→L) φ(x) x/L dx
Φ=1の場合、波長変換部材において、粒子は全てバリア部材B側表面に存在し、Φ=0の場合、仮支持体側表面に存在する。一方、波長変換部材中に粒子が均一に分布している場合には、Φ=0.5である。したがって、波長変換部材の仮支持体側表層領域に粒子偏在領域が存在する場合、Φは0超0.5未満となる。
同様に、仮支持体における粒子偏在領域の特定も可能である。
Specifically, a value obtained by the following method can be used as an index of uneven distribution of particles in the wavelength conversion member (index of particle uneven distribution).
(Indicator of particle uneven distribution)
A cross section obtained by cutting the wavelength conversion member, for example, a cross section cut by a microtome, is observed using SEM-EDX (for example, JSM670 type manufactured by JEOL), and the number of particles in the cross section to be observed is measured. The direction perpendicular to the excitation light incident side surface and the emission side surface of the wavelength conversion member is taken as the x-axis. The thickness of the wavelength conversion member along the x axis is defined as L, where x = 0 is defined as the temporary support side surface and x = L is defined as the barrier member B side surface. Let φ (x) be the normalized number density distribution of particles in the cut section.
That means
Formula 1
∫ (0 → L) φ (x) dx = 1
Is established.
Φ represented by the following formula is defined as an index representing the uneven distribution of particles in the wavelength conversion member.
Formula 2
Φ = ∫ (0 → L) φ (x) x / L dx
When Φ = 1, in the wavelength conversion member, all particles are present on the barrier member B side surface, and when Φ = 0, they are present on the temporary support side surface. On the other hand, when the particles are uniformly distributed in the wavelength conversion member, Φ = 0.5. Therefore, when a particle uneven distribution region exists in the temporary support side surface layer region of the wavelength conversion member, Φ is more than 0 and less than 0.5.
Similarly, it is possible to specify the particle uneven distribution region in the temporary support.
ところで、量子ドットを含む波長変換層は、層内で内部発光された光の取り出し効率を高めることにより、発光強度を向上し輝度向上を達成することができる。ただし、波長変換層において発光された光は、屈折率の異なる隣接層界面に入射する角度によっては全反射を起こし、波長変換層内部を導波してしまい、光取り出し効率が低下してしまう。そこで、光散乱構造を設け、光取り出し効率を向上させることは、波長変換部材の発光効率の更なる向上に有効である。そのような光散乱構造として、粒子含有層や粒子偏在領域は有効である。
取り出し効率向上の観点からは、一次粒子の粒径(一次粒径)が100nm以上の粒子を用いることが好ましく、一次粒径が500nm以上の粒子を用いることがより好ましく、一次粒径が1μm以上の粒子を用いることが更に好ましい。また、上記粒子の一次粒径は、好ましくは10μm以下、より好ましくは8μm以下、更に好ましくは5μm以下である。
本発明および本明細書における粒径とは、走査型電子顕微鏡(Scanning Electron Microscope;SEM)により観察することによって求められる値とする。具体的には、波長変換層またはバリア部材の断面を倍率5000倍で撮影したのちに、得られた画像から粒径を測定する。また、球形状ではない粒子については、長軸の長さと短軸の長さの平均値を求め、これを粒径として採用する。後述の直径も同様である。
上記粒子は、波長変換部材やバリア部材において一次粒子として存在することが好ましいが、二次粒子以上の高次粒子として存在していてもよい。二次粒子以上の高次粒子(凝集粒子)として存在する粒子は、かかる凝集粒子の粒径が上記範囲内であることが好ましい。なお本発明および本明細書において、波長変換部材またはバリア部材中に存在する粒子の粒径とは、部材中に存在する状態(例えば、一次粒子であれば一次粒径、二次粒子であれば二次粒径)をいうものとする。なお後述の実施例に記載の粒径は、走査型電子顕微鏡(JEOL社製JSM670型)用いて波長変換部材またはバリア部材の断面を観察して測定することで得られた値である。
By the way, the wavelength conversion layer containing a quantum dot can improve the light emission intensity | strength and can achieve a brightness | luminance improvement by raising the extraction efficiency of the light internally emitted within the layer. However, the light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer undergoes total reflection depending on the angle of incidence on the adjacent layer interface having a different refractive index, and is guided inside the wavelength conversion layer, resulting in a decrease in light extraction efficiency. Therefore, providing a light scattering structure to improve the light extraction efficiency is effective for further improving the light emission efficiency of the wavelength conversion member. As such a light scattering structure, a particle-containing layer and a particle uneven distribution region are effective.
From the viewpoint of improving the extraction efficiency, it is preferable to use particles having a primary particle size (primary particle size) of 100 nm or more, more preferably particles having a primary particle size of 500 nm or more, and a primary particle size of 1 μm or more. More preferably, the particles are used. The primary particle size of the particles is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 8 μm or less, and still more preferably 5 μm or less.
The particle diameter in the present invention and the present specification is a value determined by observing with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Specifically, after photographing the cross section of the wavelength conversion layer or the barrier member at a magnification of 5000 times, the particle size is measured from the obtained image. For particles that are not spherical, the average value of the length of the major axis and the length of the minor axis is determined and adopted as the particle size. The same applies to the diameter described later.
The particles are preferably present as primary particles in the wavelength conversion member or the barrier member, but may be present as higher-order particles that are secondary particles or more. The particles present as higher-order particles (aggregated particles) higher than the secondary particles preferably have a particle size of the aggregated particles within the above range. In the present invention and the present specification, the particle size of the particles existing in the wavelength conversion member or the barrier member is the state existing in the member (for example, primary particle size if primary particles, secondary particle if Secondary particle size). In addition, the particle size described in Examples described later is a value obtained by observing and measuring the cross section of the wavelength conversion member or the barrier member using a scanning electron microscope (JSMOL type JSMOL type).
光取り出し効率向上の観点から好ましい粒子(以下、「光散乱粒子」と記載する。)は、粒子が含まれる層(粒子含有層、波長変換層)を構成するマトリックスとの屈折率の差(後述の絶対値|nb-ns|)が0.02以上のものである。光散乱粒子は、1種類の粒子のみを用いてもよく、また、複数の種類の粒子を組み合わせて用いてもよい。光散乱粒子は、無機粒子であってもよく、有機粒子であってもよい。その詳細については、特開2010-198735号公報段落0022を参照できる。また、粒子含有層を構成するマトリックス等の各種成分および粒子含有層の作製方法については、同公報段落0023~0028、段落0033~0035を参照できる。粒子含有層の厚さは特に制限はなく、乾燥厚さで、例えば0.5μm~50μm程度であるが、目的に応じて適宜選択することができる。酸素バリア性と光透過性の観点からは、1μm~20μmの範囲であることが好ましく、2μm~10μmの範囲であることがより好ましく、3μm~7μmの範囲であることが更に好ましい。 From the viewpoint of improving the light extraction efficiency, preferred particles (hereinafter referred to as “light scattering particles”) have a difference in refractive index from the matrix constituting the layer containing the particles (particle-containing layer, wavelength conversion layer) (described later). The absolute value of | nb−ns |) is 0.02 or more. As the light scattering particles, only one type of particle may be used, or a plurality of types of particles may be used in combination. The light scattering particles may be inorganic particles or organic particles. Details thereof can be referred to paragraph 0022 of JP 2010-198735 A. For various components such as a matrix constituting the particle-containing layer and a method for producing the particle-containing layer, reference can be made to paragraphs 0023 to 0028 and 0033 to 0035 of the publication. The thickness of the particle-containing layer is not particularly limited, and is a dry thickness, for example, about 0.5 μm to 50 μm, but can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. From the viewpoint of oxygen barrier properties and light transmittance, the range is preferably 1 μm to 20 μm, more preferably 2 μm to 10 μm, and still more preferably 3 μm to 7 μm.
一方、波長変換層に光散乱粒子が含まれる場合、波長変換層における光散乱粒子量の質量密度は、2%以上とすることが、光取り出し効率向上の観点から好ましい。一方、脆性の観点からは、波長変換層における光散乱粒子の質量密度は30%未満とすることが好ましい。 On the other hand, when light scattering particles are contained in the wavelength conversion layer, the mass density of the amount of light scattering particles in the wavelength conversion layer is preferably 2% or more from the viewpoint of improving light extraction efficiency. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of brittleness, the mass density of the light scattering particles in the wavelength conversion layer is preferably less than 30%.
光散乱粒子の屈折率nsは、光取り出し効率向上の観点から、マトリックス材の屈折率nbとの差の絶対値|nb-ns|が、0.02以上であることが好ましく、0.03以上であることがより好ましく、0.10以上であることがさらに好ましい。なお本発明における屈折率とは、フラウンホーファーのe線(546.1nm)に対する屈折率neをいうものとする。また、二種以上の異なる種類の光散乱粒子が粒子含有層または波長変換層に含まれる場合には、少なくとも一種の光散乱粒子が上記絶対値を満たす屈折率を有することが好ましく、二種以上の光散乱粒子が上記絶対値を満たす屈折率を有することがより好ましく、すべての光散乱粒子が上記絶対値を満たす屈折率を有することが更に好ましい。光散乱粒子の屈折率nsは、マトリックス材の屈折率nbより大きくても小さくてもよい。
|nb-ns|の値は大きい方が、散乱効率が向上するために好ましい。一方、光散乱粒子およびマトリックスの屈折率は、素材固有の値であり、例えば顕微IR(顕微赤外分光法)のスペクトルから素材を特定することで、知ることができる。
なお、マトリックスの屈折率は、アッベ屈折率計を用いて計測することができる。マトリックスの屈折率は、マトリックスとは異なる屈折率を有する直径数10nm程度未満の微粒子を添加することで調整することができる。ここで用いられる直径数10nm程度の微粒子は、可視光をほとんど散乱させないほど十分に小さいものである。
From the viewpoint of improving light extraction efficiency, the refractive index ns of the light scattering particle is preferably such that the absolute value | nb−ns | of the difference from the refractive index nb of the matrix material is 0.02 or more, and 0.03 or more. More preferably, it is more preferably 0.10 or more. In addition, the refractive index in this invention shall mean the refractive index ne with respect to e line (546.1 nm) of Fraunhofer. Further, when two or more different types of light scattering particles are contained in the particle-containing layer or the wavelength conversion layer, it is preferable that at least one kind of light scattering particles have a refractive index satisfying the above absolute value, two or more types It is more preferable that the light scattering particles have a refractive index satisfying the absolute value, and it is further preferable that all the light scattering particles have a refractive index satisfying the absolute value. The refractive index ns of the light scattering particles may be larger or smaller than the refractive index nb of the matrix material.
A larger value of | nb−ns | is preferable because scattering efficiency is improved. On the other hand, the refractive indexes of the light scattering particles and the matrix are values specific to the material, and can be known by specifying the material from the spectrum of microscopic IR (microscopic infrared spectroscopy), for example.
The refractive index of the matrix can be measured using an Abbe refractometer. The refractive index of the matrix can be adjusted by adding fine particles having a refractive index different from that of the matrix and having a diameter of less than about 10 nm. The fine particles having a diameter of about several tens of nm used here are sufficiently small to hardly scatter visible light.
光取り出し効率向上の観点からは、マトリックスの屈折率は小さいことが好ましい。一般に屈折率が1より大きい樹脂内部での発光を空気層に取り出す際には、臨界角以上で入射する光が空気との界面で全反射するため、取り出し効率の低下が生じる。この臨界角はスネルの法則によって決まり、マトリックスが低屈折率であるほど、臨界角は大きくなり、取り出し効率は向上する。マトリックスの出射側表面に、無機バリア部材などの高屈折率媒体が存在した場合でも、この傾向は成り立つ。 From the viewpoint of improving light extraction efficiency, the refractive index of the matrix is preferably small. In general, when light emitted from a resin having a refractive index greater than 1 is extracted into the air layer, incident light at a critical angle or more is totally reflected at the interface with air, resulting in a decrease in extraction efficiency. This critical angle is determined by Snell's law. The lower the refractive index of the matrix, the larger the critical angle and the higher the extraction efficiency. This tendency holds even when a high refractive index medium such as an inorganic barrier member is present on the surface on the emission side of the matrix.
取り出し効率向上の観点からは、後方散乱および前方散乱を低減することが望ましい。この点から光散乱粒子の直径rsは、後方散乱の影響を低減する観点からは0.5μm以上であることが好ましく、前方散乱の影響を低減する観点からは10μm以下であることが好ましい。即ち、0.5μm≦rs≦10μmの範囲にあることが好ましい。光散乱粒子の直径は、0.8μm≦rs≦8μmであることがより好ましく、1μm≦rs≦5μmであることがさらに好ましい。 From the viewpoint of improving the extraction efficiency, it is desirable to reduce backscattering and forward scattering. From this point, the diameter rs of the light scattering particles is preferably 0.5 μm or more from the viewpoint of reducing the influence of backscattering, and preferably 10 μm or less from the viewpoint of reducing the influence of forward scattering. That is, it is preferable to be in the range of 0.5 μm ≦ rs ≦ 10 μm. The diameter of the light scattering particles is more preferably 0.8 μm ≦ rs ≦ 8 μm, and further preferably 1 μm ≦ rs ≦ 5 μm.
波長変換部材の仮支持体(バリア部材A)側表層領域、好ましくは出射側表層領域に、屈折率および直径の少なくとも一方が異なる光散乱粒子を2種類以上含むことも好ましい。そのような光散乱粒子を2種類以上含むことによって、散乱光の散乱角度依存性に起因する色づきを抑制することが可能となり、良好なホワイトバランスが得られる。2種類の光散乱粒子の数量(粒子数)比は、1:9~9:1であることがより好ましく、2:8~8:2であることがさらに好ましい。 It is also preferred that the temporary support (barrier member A) side surface layer region of the wavelength conversion member, preferably the exit side surface layer region, contain two or more kinds of light scattering particles having at least one of a refractive index and a diameter different from each other. By including two or more kinds of such light scattering particles, it is possible to suppress coloring caused by the scattering angle dependency of the scattered light, and a good white balance can be obtained. The ratio (number of particles) of the two kinds of light scattering particles is more preferably 1: 9 to 9: 1, and further preferably 2: 8 to 8: 2.
波長変換部材の表層領域、好ましくは出射側表層領域に含まれる光散乱粒子は、層の表面に整列するように配置されていても光取り出し効率向上効果を発揮することができる。このように配置された光散乱粒子により、隣接する層との界面を乱すことで、全反射を防ぐことができるからである。この場合、マトリックスと、光散乱粒子の屈折率が等しい場合でも、良好な取り出し効率の向上効果が見られる。 The light scattering particles contained in the surface layer region of the wavelength conversion member, preferably the emission side surface layer region, can exhibit the effect of improving the light extraction efficiency even if they are arranged so as to align with the surface of the layer. This is because total reflection can be prevented by disturbing the interface with the adjacent layer by the light scattering particles arranged in this way. In this case, even when the refractive index of the matrix is equal to that of the light scattering particles, a good effect of improving the extraction efficiency can be seen.
(バリア部材A、B)

The main component means a component having the largest content among the components contained in the layer. For a layer containing two or more different inorganic materials, the content refers to the total content of a plurality of different inorganic materials. The same applies to the main components related to the organic layer described later. The inorganic layer is preferably a layer formed only from an inorganic material. On the other hand, the organic layer is a layer mainly composed of an organic material, and preferably refers to a layer in which the organic material occupies 50% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, and particularly 90% by mass or more. To do.
-無機層-
無機層を構成する無機材料としては、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、金属、または無機酸化物、窒化物、酸化窒化物等の各種無機化合物を用いることができる。無機材料を構成する元素としては、ケイ素、アルミニウム、マグネシウム、チタン、スズ、インジウムおよびセリウムが好ましく、これらを一種または二種以上含んでいてもよい。無機化合物の具体例としては、酸化ケイ素、酸化窒化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム、酸化マグネシウム、酸化チタン、酸化スズ、酸化インジウム合金、窒化ケイ素、窒化アルミニウム、窒化チタンを挙げることができる。また、無機層として、金属膜、例えば、アルミニウム膜、銀膜、錫膜、クロム膜、ニッケル膜、チタン膜を設けてもよい。

As the inorganic layer, a metal film such as an aluminum film, a silver film, a tin film, a chromium film, a nickel film, or a titanium film may be provided.
上記の材料の中でも、高いバリア性を有するバリア部材を形成する観点からは、窒化ケイ素、酸化ケイ素、または酸化窒化ケイ素が特に好ましい。また、一態様では、仮支持体(バリア部材A)と波長変換部材との界面を容易に剥離可能な状態とするために、窒化ケイ素、酸化ケイ素および酸化窒化ケイ素からなる群から選ばれる無機材料を含む無機層を、仮支持体(バリア部材A)の波長変換部材側最表層として設けることが好ましく、仮支持体(バリア層A)に、量子ドットを有機マトリックス中に含む波長変換層と隣接する層として設けることがより好ましく、量子ドット含有(メタ)アクリレート系重合性組成物を硬化させてなる硬化層である波長変換層と隣接する層として設けることが更に好ましい。なお本発明および本明細書において、「隣接」とは、他の層を介さず直接接していることをいうものとする。 Among the above materials, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon oxynitride is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of forming a barrier member having high barrier properties. In one embodiment, an inorganic material selected from the group consisting of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride in order to easily peel the interface between the temporary support (barrier member A) and the wavelength conversion member. It is preferable to provide an inorganic layer containing s as an outermost layer on the wavelength conversion member side of the temporary support (barrier member A), and adjacent to the wavelength conversion layer containing quantum dots in the organic matrix on the temporary support (barrier layer A). More preferably, it is provided as a layer adjacent to the wavelength conversion layer, which is a cured layer formed by curing the quantum dot-containing (meth) acrylate-based polymerizable composition. Note that in the present invention and the present specification, “adjacent” refers to direct contact without passing through another layer.
無機層の形成方法は特に限定されるものではなく、公知の製膜方法により形成することができる。より一層優れたバリア性を実現する観点からは、無機材料を蒸着により堆積させることによって、無機層を形成することが好ましい。ここで本発明における蒸着とは、製膜材料を蒸発ないし飛散させ被蒸着面に堆積させることができる各種製膜方法、より詳しくは、蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法等の物理的気相成長法(PVD)、種々の化学的気相成長法(CVD)を含むものとする。 The formation method of the inorganic layer is not particularly limited, and can be formed by a known film forming method. From the viewpoint of realizing even better barrier properties, it is preferable to form an inorganic layer by depositing an inorganic material by vapor deposition. Here, the vapor deposition in the present invention refers to various film forming methods capable of evaporating or scattering the film forming material and depositing it on the surface to be vapor-deposited. More specifically, physical vapor deposition, sputtering, ion plating, etc. Phase growth methods (PVD) and various chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD) are included.
蒸着方法としては、具体的には、無機酸化物、無機窒化物、無機酸化窒化物、金属等の無機材料を、加熱して基材上に蒸着させる真空蒸着法;無機材料を原料として用い、酸素ガスを導入することにより酸化させて、基材上に蒸着させる酸化反応蒸着法;無機材料をターゲット原料として用い、アルゴンガス、酸素ガスを導入して、スパッタリングすることにより、基材に蒸着させるスパッタリング法;無機材料にプラズマガンで発生させたプラズマビームにより加熱させて、基材上に蒸着させるイオンプレーティング法等の物理気相成長法(Physical Vapor Deposition法)、酸化ケイ素の蒸着膜を製膜させる場合は、有機ケイ素化合物を原料とするプラズマ化学気相成長法(Chemical Vapor Deposition法)等が挙げられる。 As a vapor deposition method, specifically, a vacuum vapor deposition method in which an inorganic material such as an inorganic oxide, an inorganic nitride, an inorganic oxynitride, or a metal is heated and vapor-deposited on a substrate; an inorganic material is used as a raw material, Oxidation reaction vapor deposition method in which oxygen gas is oxidized and vapor-deposited on a substrate; using an inorganic material as a target raw material, argon gas and oxygen gas are introduced, and sputtering is performed to deposit on the substrate.

また、酸化ケイ素膜は、有機ケイ素化合物を原料として、低温プラズマ化学気相成長法を用いて形成することもできる。この有機ケイ素化合物としては、具体的には、1,1,3,3-テトラメチルジシロキサン、ヘキサメチルジシロキサン、ビニルトリメチルシラン、ヘキサメチルジシラン、メチルシラン、ジメチルシラン、トリメチルシラン、ジエチルシラン、プロピルシラン、フェニルシラン、ビニルトリエトキシシラン、テトラメトキシシラン、フェニルトリエトキシシラン、メチルトリエトキシシラン、オクタメチルシクロテトラシロキサン等が挙げられる。また、上記有機ケイ素化合物の中でも、テトラメトキシシラン(TMOS)、ヘキサメチルジシロキサン(HMDSO)を用いることが好ましい。これらは、取り扱い性や蒸着膜の特性に優れるからである。 The silicon oxide film can also be formed by using a low temperature plasma chemical vapor deposition method using an organosilicon compound as a raw material. Specific examples of the organosilicon compound include 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, vinyltrimethylsilane, hexamethyldisilane, methylsilane, dimethylsilane, trimethylsilane, diethylsilane, propyl Examples thereof include silane, phenylsilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, tetramethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. Among the organosilicon compounds, tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) are preferably used. This is because these are excellent in handleability and vapor deposition film characteristics.
無機層の厚さは、10nm~500nm、中でも10nm~300nm、特に10nm~150nmの範囲内であることが好ましい。無機層の厚さが、上述した範囲内であることにより、良好なバリア性を実現しつつ、無機層における反射を抑制することができ、高い光透過率を実現することができるからである。
また、無機層が波長変換部材に含まれる波長変換層と隣接していてもよく、無機層と波長変換層との間に一層以上の他の層が存在してもよい。後者の場合、無機層は一般にバリア性に優れるため、無機層の波長変換部材側表面と波長変換部材に含まれる波長変換層のバリア部材側表面との距離は、10μm未満であることが好ましく、5μm未満であることがより好ましい。無機層と波長変換層とが隣接することが、更に好ましい。
The thickness of the inorganic layer is preferably in the range of 10 nm to 500 nm, more preferably 10 nm to 300 nm, especially 10 nm to 150 nm. This is because when the thickness of the inorganic layer is within the above-described range, reflection in the inorganic layer can be suppressed and high light transmittance can be realized while realizing good barrier properties.
Moreover, the inorganic layer may be adjacent to the wavelength conversion layer included in the wavelength conversion member, and one or more other layers may exist between the inorganic layer and the wavelength conversion layer. In the latter case, since the inorganic layer is generally excellent in barrier properties, the distance between the wavelength conversion member side surface of the inorganic layer and the barrier member side surface of the wavelength conversion layer included in the wavelength conversion member is preferably less than 10 μm, More preferably, it is less than 5 μm. More preferably, the inorganic layer and the wavelength conversion layer are adjacent to each other.
-有機層-
有機層としては、特開2007-290369号公報段落0020~0042、特開2005-096108号公報段落0074~0105を参照できる。なお有機層は、一態様では、カルドポリマーを含むことが好ましい。これにより、有機層と隣接する層または基材(詳細は後述する。)との密着性、特に、無機層とも密着性が良好になり、より一層優れたガスバリア性を実現することができるからである。カルドポリマーの詳細については、上述の特開2005-096108号公報段落0085~0095を参照できる。有機層の厚さは、0.05μm~10μmの範囲内であることが好ましく、中でも0.5~10μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。有機層がウェットコーティング法により形成される場合には、有機層の厚さは、0.5~10μmの範囲内、中でも1μm~5μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。また、ドライコーティング法により形成される場合には、0.05μm~5μmの範囲内、中でも0.05μm~1μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。ウェットコーティング法またはドライコーティング法により形成される有機層の厚さが上述した範囲内であることにより、無機層との密着性をより良好なものとすることができるからである。
-Organic layer-

易接着層の厚さは、特に限定されるものではないが、密着性と透明性等の観点から、通常0.002~1.0μm、より好ましくは0.02~0.5μm、さらに好ましくは0.03~0.2μmの範囲である。易接着層は、例えば公知の塗布法で形成することができる。塗布方法については、例えば特開2013-230697号公報段落0083~0088を参照できる。 The thickness of the easy-adhesion layer is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.002 to 1.0 μm, more preferably 0.02 to 0.5 μm, and still more preferably, from the viewpoints of adhesion and transparency. It is in the range of 0.03 to 0.2 μm. The easy adhesion layer can be formed by, for example, a known coating method. Regarding the coating method, for example, refer to paragraphs 0083 to 0088 of JP2013-230697A.
(粘着層)
一態様では、仮支持体(バリア部材A)は、波長変換部材との貼り合わせ面に、粘着層を有することもできる。この粘着層は、転写時に仮支持体が除去された後、少なくとも一部が波長変換部材上に残留することにより、仮支持体が除去された転写材料と転写対象物とを貼り合わせる役割を果たすこともできる。ただし、仮支持体は、粘着層を含まなくてもよい。この場合には、転写材料から仮支持体を剥離した後、剥離により露出した面に粘着層を形成(粘着剤を塗布)することにより、この粘着剤により転写対象物との貼り合わせを行うことができる。
(Adhesive layer)
In one aspect, the temporary support (barrier member A) may have an adhesive layer on the surface to be bonded to the wavelength conversion member. The adhesive layer plays a role of bonding the transfer material from which the temporary support has been removed and the transfer object by at least partly remaining on the wavelength conversion member after the temporary support is removed at the time of transfer. You can also However, the temporary support may not include an adhesive layer. In this case, after the temporary support is peeled off from the transfer material, an adhesive layer is formed on the surface exposed by peeling (applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive) so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the transfer object are bonded together. Can do.
粘着層は、公知の粘着剤を用いて形成することができる。例えば、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体などからなる自己粘着剤層や、アクリル樹脂、スチレン樹脂、シリコーン樹脂などをベースポリマーとし、そこに、イソシアネート化合物、エポキシ化合物、アジリジン化合物などの架橋剤を加えた組成物からなる感圧粘着剤層を用いることができる。さらに、粘着剤中に微粒子を配合して、光散乱性を示す粘着層を形成することもできる。 The adhesive layer can be formed using a known adhesive. For example, a self-adhesive layer made of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or the like, an acrylic resin, a styrene resin, a silicone resin, or the like as a base polymer, and a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound, or an aziridine compound is added thereto. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer made of the composition can be used. Furthermore, the adhesive layer which shows light-scattering property can also be formed by mix | blending microparticles | fine-particles in an adhesive.
粘着層の厚さは、粘着性および塗布された粘着剤のはみ出し防止の観点から、1~40μm程度が好適であり、加工性および粘着性の特性を損なわない範囲で、薄く塗ることが好ましく、より好ましくは3~25μmである。厚さ3~25μmであると、特に良好な加工性を有する。粘着層を形成する方法は特に限定されるものではなく、被塗布面に、上記したベースポリマーをはじめとする各成分を含む溶液を塗布し、乾燥して粘着層を形成してもよく、セパレータ上に粘着層を形成した後、被塗布面に貼り付けて積層してもよい。粘着剤を塗布する被塗布面には、必要に応じて、密着処理、たとえば、コロナ処理等を施してもよい。 The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably about 1 to 40 μm from the viewpoint of pressure-sensitive adhesiveness and prevention of the applied pressure-sensitive adhesive from sticking out, and is preferably applied thinly in a range that does not impair the workability and pressure-sensitive properties. More preferably, it is 3 to 25 μm. When the thickness is 3 to 25 μm, particularly good workability is obtained. The method for forming the adhesive layer is not particularly limited. The adhesive layer may be formed by applying a solution containing the above-described base polymer and other components to the surface to be coated and drying the separator. After the adhesive layer is formed on the surface, it may be laminated by being attached to the surface to be coated. The application surface to which the adhesive is applied may be subjected to an adhesion treatment such as a corona treatment, if necessary.
仮支持体
仮支持体とは、前述の通り、転写材料を転写対象物に転写する前に剥離される支持体である。上記転写材料における仮支持体は、バリア性を有する層を一層以上含み、任意に基材、易接着層、粘着層等を含むことができるバリア部材(バリア部材A)である。バリア部材を構成し得る各種の層および基材の詳細は、先に記載した通りである。
As described above, the temporary support temporary support is a support that is peeled off before the transfer material is transferred to the transfer object. The temporary support in the transfer material is a barrier member (barrier member A) that includes one or more layers having a barrier property and can optionally include a base material, an easy-adhesion layer, an adhesive layer, and the like. Details of the various layers and the base material that can constitute the barrier member are as described above.
転写材料の製造方法
上記転写材料は、以上説明した各層、基材を積層し形成することができる。積層方法、順序は、特に限定されるものではない。一例として、仮支持体(バリア部材A)、バリア部材Bを含む積層体をそれぞれ作製し、一方のバリア部材の表面に波長変換部材を形成し、形成した波長変換部材を他方と貼り合わせることにより、仮支持体(バリア部材A)、波長変換部材、バリア部材Bをこの順に含む転写材料を得ることができる。貼り合わせは、公知の粘着剤または接着剤を用いて行うことができる。または、接着剤を用いるラミネート、接着剤なしで行うラミネート(熱圧着)による貼り合わせも可能である。
また、別の一例として、波長変換層を熱もしくは光によって硬膜する際に、一方の表面を仮支持体(バリア部材A)、もう一方の面をバリア部材Bを含む積層体で挟んで硬膜することもできる。波長変換部材両面の密着性を制御し、非対称とすることにより、上記転写材料を得ることもできる。
Method for Producing Transfer Material The transfer material can be formed by laminating the above-described layers and base materials. The lamination method and order are not particularly limited. As an example, a laminated body including a temporary support (barrier member A) and a barrier member B is prepared, a wavelength conversion member is formed on the surface of one barrier member, and the formed wavelength conversion member is bonded to the other. A transfer material including the temporary support (barrier member A), the wavelength conversion member, and the barrier member B in this order can be obtained. Bonding can be performed using a known pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive. Alternatively, lamination using an adhesive or lamination (thermocompression bonding) performed without an adhesive is also possible.
As another example, when the wavelength conversion layer is hardened by heat or light, one surface is sandwiched by a temporary support (barrier member A) and the other surface is sandwiched by a laminate including the barrier member B. A membrane can also be formed. The transfer material can also be obtained by controlling the adhesion between both surfaces of the wavelength conversion member to make it asymmetric.
以上説明した転写材料は、液晶表示装置の構成部材に貼り合わせるための転写材料として用いることができ、液晶パネル製造用転写材料として用いることが好ましい。液晶パネルに含まれる基板(通常、ガラス基板)は高いバリア性を有するため、仮支持体(バリア部材A)を剥離除去した後に、量子ドットを保護する役割を良好に果たすことができるからである。このように用いることで、波長変換層の薄手化に依拠することなくLCDの薄型化を実現できる。上記転写材料を、液晶パネル製造のために用いる態様については、後述する。 The transfer material described above can be used as a transfer material for bonding to a constituent member of a liquid crystal display device, and is preferably used as a transfer material for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel. This is because the substrate (usually a glass substrate) included in the liquid crystal panel has a high barrier property, and thus can successfully perform the role of protecting the quantum dots after the temporary support (barrier member A) is peeled and removed. . By using in this way, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the LCD without relying on a thinner wavelength conversion layer. A mode in which the transfer material is used for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel will be described later.

About.
液晶表示装置は、通常、少なくとも、液晶セルを含む液晶パネルと、バックライトユニットから構成される。量子ドットを含む波長変換層を有する波長変換部材は、従来、液晶表示装置におけるバックライトユニットの構成部材として用いられていた。これに対し本発明の一態様によれば、波長変換部材を備えた液晶パネルを製造することができる。 The liquid crystal display device is usually composed of at least a liquid crystal panel including a liquid crystal cell and a backlight unit. A wavelength conversion member having a wavelength conversion layer containing quantum dots has been conventionally used as a constituent member of a backlight unit in a liquid crystal display device. On the other hand, according to one aspect of the present invention, a liquid crystal panel including a wavelength conversion member can be manufactured.
仮支持体の剥離方法は特に限定されない。仮支持体の剥離は剥離後の転写品に破損が生じない速度で行うことが好ましい。 The method for peeling the temporary support is not particularly limited. Peeling of the temporary support is preferably performed at a speed that does not cause damage to the transferred product after peeling. .
前述の通り、仮支持体と波長変換部材との間に粘着層が存在し、剥離により露出した露出面に粘着層が残留している場合には、露出面をそのまま液晶パネル表面に貼り合わせることができる。または、露出面に粘着剤を塗布した後に、液晶パネル表面と貼り合わせることもできる。粘着剤については、先に記載した通りである。 As described above, if there is an adhesive layer between the temporary support and the wavelength converting member, and the adhesive layer remains on the exposed surface exposed by peeling, the exposed surface is directly bonded to the liquid crystal panel surface. Can do. Alternatively, after the adhesive is applied to the exposed surface, it can be bonded to the surface of the liquid crystal panel. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is as described above.
仮支持体の剥離および液晶パネルへの貼り合わせを行う環境は、波長変換層に含まれる量子ドットと酸素との接触を防ぐ観点からは、閉鎖されたチャンバー内部が好ましく、窒素雰囲気下がより好ましい。ただし、上記のような環境でない場合であっても、比較的短時間(例えば30分以内)に仮支持体の剥離および液晶パネルへ貼り合わせを行うことができれば、波長変換層に含まれる量子ドットの発光効率低下を防ぐことができる。 The environment in which the temporary support is peeled off and bonded to the liquid crystal panel is preferably a closed chamber, and more preferably in a nitrogen atmosphere, from the viewpoint of preventing contact between the quantum dots contained in the wavelength conversion layer and oxygen. . However, even if the environment is not as described above, if the temporary support can be peeled off and bonded to the liquid crystal panel in a relatively short time (for example, within 30 minutes), the quantum dots contained in the wavelength conversion layer It is possible to prevent a decrease in luminous efficiency.
液晶パネルは、液晶セルを含み、通常、更に視認側、バックライト側にそれぞれ、偏光板(視認側偏光板、バックライト側偏光板)が配置されている。上記転写材料は、視認側偏光板表面、バックライト側偏光板表面のいずれに貼り合わせてもよいが、波長変換部材による波長変換によって多波長光源化を容易かつ良好に実現する観点からは、液晶パネルのバックライト側表面に貼り合わせることが好ましい。貼り合せるバックライト側表面は、バックライト側偏光板表面であることができる。また、バックライト側偏光板表面上に設けられた、輝度向上フィルムなどの表面に貼り合わせることも好ましい。輝度向上フィルムとしては、プリズムシート等の公知の輝度向上フィルムを用いることができる。 The liquid crystal panel includes a liquid crystal cell, and usually polarizing plates (viewing side polarizing plate and backlight side polarizing plate) are arranged on the viewing side and the backlight side, respectively. The transfer material may be bonded to either the viewing-side polarizing plate surface or the backlight-side polarizing plate surface. From the viewpoint of easily and satisfactorily realizing a multi-wavelength light source by wavelength conversion using a wavelength conversion member, liquid crystal is used. It is preferable to bond to the backlight side surface of the panel. The backlight side surface to be bonded can be the backlight side polarizing plate surface. Moreover, it is also preferable to stick together on surfaces, such as a brightness enhancement film, provided on the backlight side polarizing plate surface. As the brightness enhancement film, a known brightness enhancement film such as a prism sheet can be used.
次に、転写対象物である液晶パネルについて説明する。 Next, a liquid crystal panel that is an object to be transferred will be described.
(液晶セル)
液晶セルの駆動モードについては特に制限はなく、ツイステットネマチック(TN)、スーパーツイステットネマチック(STN)、バーティカルアライメント(VA)、インプレインスイッチング(IPS)、オプティカリーコンペンセイテットベンドセル(OCB)等の種々のモードを利用することができる。
(Liquid crystal cell)
The driving mode of the liquid crystal cell is not particularly limited, and is twisted nematic (TN), super twisted nematic (STN), vertical alignment (VA), in-plane switching (IPS), and optically compensated bend cell (OCB). Various modes such as can be used.
液晶セルは、通常、2枚の基板と、2枚の基板間に位置する液晶層と、を含む。基板は、ガラス基板が一般的であるが、プラスチック基板、またはガラスとプラスチックとの積層体でもよい。プラスチック単独を基板する場合には、PC(ポリカーボネート)、PES(ポリエーテルサルフォン)など面内で光学異方性をほとんど有さない材質が、液晶層による偏光制御を阻害しないため、有用である。1枚の基板の厚さは、一般に50μm~2mmの範囲である。 The liquid crystal cell usually includes two substrates and a liquid crystal layer located between the two substrates. The substrate is generally a glass substrate, but may be a plastic substrate or a laminate of glass and plastic. When a plastic alone is used as a substrate, a material having almost no optical anisotropy in the plane, such as PC (polycarbonate) or PES (polyether sulfone), is useful because it does not hinder the polarization control by the liquid crystal layer. . The thickness of one substrate is generally in the range of 50 μm to 2 mm.
液晶セルの液晶層は、通常、二枚の基板の間にスペーサーを挟み込んで形成した空間に液晶を封入して形成される。通常、基板上には、透明電極層が、導電性物質を含む透明な膜として形成される。液晶セルには、更にガスバリア層、ハードコート層、透明電極層の接着に用いるアンダーコート層(下塗り層)等の層が設けられる場合もある。これらの層は、通常、基板上に設けられる。 The liquid crystal layer of a liquid crystal cell is usually formed by enclosing liquid crystal in a space formed by sandwiching a spacer between two substrates. Usually, a transparent electrode layer is formed on a substrate as a transparent film containing a conductive substance. The liquid crystal cell may be further provided with a layer such as an undercoat layer (undercoat layer) used for bonding a gas barrier layer, a hard coat layer, and a transparent electrode layer. These layers are usually provided on the substrate.
(偏光板)
視認側偏光板、バックライト側偏光板としては、特に限定されるものではなく、液晶表示装置に通常用いられる偏光板を、何ら制限なく使用することができる。例えば、ポリビニルアルコールフィルムを沃素溶液中に浸漬して延伸した延伸フィルム等を偏光子として含む偏光板を用いることができる。偏光子の厚さは特に限定されない。液晶表示装置の薄型化の観点からは、薄いほど好ましく、偏光板のコントラストを維持するためには一定の厚さを有することが好ましい。以上の点から、視認側偏光子、バックライト側偏光子とも、厚さは0.5μm~80μmの範囲であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.5μm~50μm、更に好ましくは1μm~25μmの範囲である。また、視認側偏光子とバックライト側偏光子の厚さは同じであってもよく、異なっていてもよい。偏光子の詳細については、特開2012-189818号公報段落0037~0046を参照できる。
(Polarizer)
The viewing-side polarizing plate and the backlight-side polarizing plate are not particularly limited, and any polarizing plate that is usually used in a liquid crystal display device can be used without any limitation. For example, a polarizing plate including a stretched film obtained by immersing and stretching a polyvinyl alcohol film in an iodine solution can be used. The thickness of the polarizer is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of reducing the thickness of the liquid crystal display device, the thinner it is, the more preferable. In order to maintain the contrast of the polarizing plate, it is preferable to have a certain thickness. From the above points, the thickness of both the viewing side polarizer and the backlight side polarizer is preferably in the range of 0.5 μm to 80 μm, more preferably in the range of 0.5 μm to 50 μm, and still more preferably in the range of 1 μm to 25 μm. It is. The thicknesses of the viewing side polarizer and the backlight side polarizer may be the same or different. JP, 2012-189818, A paragraphs 0037-0046 can be referred to for details of a polarizer.
(保護フィルム)
偏光板は、通常、偏光子の一方または両方の面に、保護フィルムを有する。転写対象物とされる液晶パネルにおいても、視認側偏光子、バックライト側偏光子は、それぞれ、一方または両方の面に、保護フィルムを有していてもよい。保護フィルムの厚さは適宜設定し得るが、一般には、強度や取扱い等の作業性、薄層化等の点から1~500μm程度であり、1~300μmが好ましく、5~200μmがより好ましく、5~150μmが更に好ましい。なお、視認側偏光子、バックライト側偏光子とも、保護フィルムを介さずに液晶セルと貼り合わせてもよい。液晶セルの、特に基板が、バリア機能を発揮し得るからである。
(Protective film)
The polarizing plate usually has a protective film on one or both surfaces of the polarizer. Also in the liquid crystal panel to be transferred, the viewing side polarizer and the backlight side polarizer may each have a protective film on one or both surfaces. The thickness of the protective film can be appropriately set, but is generally about 1 to 500 μm, preferably 1 to 300 μm, more preferably 5 to 200 μm from the viewpoint of strength, workability such as handling, and thinning. More preferably, it is 5 to 150 μm. Note that both the viewing-side polarizer and the backlight-side polarizer may be bonded to the liquid crystal cell without using a protective film. This is because the liquid crystal cell, in particular, the substrate can exhibit a barrier function.
偏光板の保護フィルムとしては、透明性、機械的強度、熱安定性、水分遮断性、等方性等に優れる熱可塑性樹脂が好適に用いられる。このような熱可塑性樹脂の具体例としては、トリアセチルセルロース等のセルロース樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン樹脂、ポリスルホン樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリオレフィン樹脂、(メタ)アクリル樹脂、環状ポリオレフィン樹脂(ノルボルネン樹脂)、ポリアリレート樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール樹脂、およびこれらの混合物が挙げられる。保護フィルムとして使用可能な樹脂の詳細については、特開2012-189818号公報段落0049~0054を参照できる。 As the protective film for the polarizing plate, a thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture barrier property, isotropy and the like is preferably used. Specific examples of such thermoplastic resins include cellulose resins such as triacetyl cellulose, polyester resins, polyethersulfone resins, polysulfone resins, polycarbonate resins, polyamide resins, polyimide resins, polyolefin resins, (meth) acrylic resins, cyclic Examples include polyolefin resins (norbornene resins), polyarylate resins, polystyrene resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, and mixtures thereof. JP, 2012-189818, A paragraphs 0049-0054 can be referred to for details of resin which can be used as a protective film.
偏光板保護フィルムとしては、熱可塑性樹脂フィルム上に一層以上の機能層を有するものを使用することもできる。機能層としては、低透湿層、ハードコート層、反射防止層(低屈折率層、中屈折率層、高屈折率層など屈折率を調整した層)、防眩層、帯電防止層、紫外線吸収層などが挙げられる。これらの機能層については、公知技術を何ら制限なく適用することができる。機能層を有する保護フィルムの層厚は、例えば5~100μmの範囲であり、好ましくは10~80μm、より好ましくは15~75μmの範囲である。なお熱可塑性樹脂フィルムなしで、機能層のみを偏光子に積層することも可能である。 As the polarizing plate protective film, a film having one or more functional layers on a thermoplastic resin film can also be used. The functional layer includes a low moisture permeability layer, a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer (a layer having a adjusted refractive index such as a low refractive index layer, a medium refractive index layer, a high refractive index layer), an antiglare layer, an antistatic layer, and an ultraviolet ray An absorption layer etc. are mentioned. For these functional layers, known techniques can be applied without any limitation. The thickness of the protective film having a functional layer is, for example, in the range of 5 to 100 μm, preferably in the range of 10 to 80 μm, and more preferably in the range of 15 to 75 μm. In addition, it is also possible to laminate | stack only a functional layer on a polarizer without a thermoplastic resin film.
(接着層、粘着層)
偏光子と保護フィルムは、公知の接着層ないし粘着層により貼り合わせることができる。詳細については、例えば、特開2012-189818号公報段落0056~0058、特開2012-133296号公報段落0061~0063を参照できる。
(Adhesive layer, adhesive layer)
The polarizer and the protective film can be bonded together by a known adhesive layer or adhesive layer. For details, refer to paragraphs 0056 to 0058 of JP2012-189818A and paragraphs 0061 to 0063 of JP2012-133296A, for example.
(位相差層)
視認側偏光板およびバックライト側偏光板は、液晶セルとの間に、少なくとも一層の位相差層を有することもできる。例えば、液晶セル側のインナー側偏光板保護フィルムとして、位相差層を有していてもよい。このような位相差層としては、公知のセルロースアシレートフィルム等を用いることができる。
(Retardation layer)
The viewing side polarizing plate and the backlight side polarizing plate can also have at least one phase difference layer between the liquid crystal cell. For example, you may have a phase difference layer as an inner side polarizing plate protective film by the side of a liquid crystal cell. A known cellulose acylate film or the like can be used as such a retardation layer.

Based on the number of test pieces remaining after the cross-cut test, the adhesion of the barrier member B was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. If the evaluation result is A, it can be determined that no peeling or partial peeling of the barrier member B occurs when the barrier member A (temporary support) is peeled off.
A: After the cross-cut test, 50 test pieces or more remained in 100 test pieces.
B: After the cross-cut test, only 49 test pieces or less remained in 100 test pieces.

A:正面輝度が320cd/m2以上であった

A: The front brightness was 320 cd / m 2 or more B The front brightness was 200 cd / m 2 or more and less than 320 cd / m 2 C The front brightness was less than 200 cd / m 2 .
4.粒子偏在領域の確認
転写材料104~106の波長変換層のバリア部材A側表層領域での粒子の偏在性を、ミクロトームで切削した断面を、走査型電子顕微鏡(JEOL社製JSM670型)を用いて観察して粒子の個数および座標を計測し、前述の式2に従って定量化した。転写材料104~106における定量値は、いずれもΦ=0.1であった。この結果から、転写材料104~106の波長変換層のバリア部材A側表層領域に粒子が偏在していることが確認された。また、上記表層領域において、粒子が一次粒子として存在していることも確認された。
4). Confirmation of the uneven distribution region of particles The cross section obtained by cutting the uneven distribution of particles in the surface layer region of the wavelength conversion layer of the transfer material 104 to 106 with a microtome using a scanning electron microscope (JSMOL type JSM670) The number and coordinates of the particles were observed and measured, and quantified according to the above-described equation 2. The quantitative values of the transfer materials 104 to 106 were all Φ = 0.1. From this result, it was confirmed that particles were unevenly distributed in the surface layer region of the transfer material 104 to 106 on the barrier member A side of the wavelength conversion layer. It was also confirmed that particles were present as primary particles in the surface layer region.
以上記載した実施例の転写材料および比較例の非転写材料の層構成、ならびに上記評価結果を、図3~図10に示す。 FIG. 3 to FIG. 10 show the layer structures of the transfer materials of the examples described above and the non-transfer materials of the comparative examples, and the evaluation results.
図3~図8に示すように、実施例の転写材料は、いずれもバリア部材A(仮支持体)の剥離性評価結果がAであり仮支持体と波長変換部材との界面が容易に剥離可能であった。更に、実施例の転写材料は、転写により除去されないバリア部材であるバリア部材Bと波長変換部材との密着性が良好であることも、図3~図8に示す結果から確認された。このようにバリア部材Bと波長変換部材との密着性が良好であることは、仮支持体であるバリア部材Aの剥離のための力を加えられた際にバリア部材Bが部分的または全面で剥離してしまうことを防ぐうえで好ましい。そしてこのような剥離の発生を防ぐことにより、転写後もバリア部材Bにより波長変換部材の波長変換層に含まれる量子ドットの劣化を防ぐことが可能となる。
参照として、比較例の非転写材料102のバリア部材Aについて同様に剥離性評価を行ったところ評価結果はBであり、非転写材料102のバリア部材Aについて密着性評価を行ったところ、評価結果はBであった。
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8, the transfer materials of the examples all have a peelability evaluation result of the barrier member A (temporary support) of A, and the interface between the temporary support and the wavelength conversion member is easily peeled off. It was possible. Furthermore, it was also confirmed from the results shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 that the transfer materials of Examples have good adhesion between the wavelength conversion member and the barrier member B which is a barrier member that is not removed by transfer. The good adhesion between the barrier member B and the wavelength conversion member in this way means that the barrier member B is partially or entirely applied when a force for peeling the barrier member A, which is a temporary support, is applied. It is preferable for preventing peeling. By preventing such peeling from occurring, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the quantum dots contained in the wavelength conversion layer of the wavelength conversion member by the barrier member B even after the transfer.
For reference, when the peelability evaluation was similarly performed on the barrier member A of the non-transfer material 102 of the comparative example, the evaluation result was B, and when the adhesion evaluation was performed on the barrier member A of the non-transfer material 102, the evaluation result Was B.
実施例の液晶表示装置において、バックライトから青色光を1000時間連続照射した後、連続照射後の正面輝度を上記と同様の方法で測定したところ、実施例の液晶表示装置はいずれも、照射前の正面輝度の90%以上の正面輝度を示した。これは、波長変換層に含まれる量子ドットが、液晶パネルへの転写前はバリア部材A(仮支持体)により保護され、転写後は液晶パネルにより保護されていることにより劣化が抑制されていることを示す結果と、本発明者らは考えている。また、実施例の液晶表示装置には仮支持体として剥離されたバリア部材Aは含まれないため、バリア部材Aの厚さ分、液晶表示装置の薄型化が達成された。 In the liquid crystal display device of the example, after continuously irradiating blue light from the backlight for 1000 hours, the front luminance after the continuous irradiation was measured by the same method as described above. The front brightness was 90% or more of the front brightness. This is because the quantum dots contained in the wavelength conversion layer are protected by the barrier member A (temporary support) before being transferred to the liquid crystal panel, and the deterioration is suppressed by being protected by the liquid crystal panel after the transfer. The present inventors consider the result to show this. Moreover, since the barrier member A peeled off as the temporary support is not included in the liquid crystal display device of the example, the thickness of the liquid crystal display device is reduced by the thickness of the barrier member A.
更に、実施例の液晶表示装置は、比較例の液晶表示装置より高い正面輝度を示した(図3~図10)。これは、発光材料である量子ドットを含む波長変換層が、比較例の液晶表示装置よりも厚いことによるものと考えられる。このように波長変換層を厚くしているにもかかわらず、仮支持体としてバリア部材Aが剥離されるため波長変換層付液晶パネルの総厚は、比較例と同様である。このように本発明によれば、波長変換層の薄手化に依拠せずに液晶表示装置を薄型化することができる。 Furthermore, the liquid crystal display device of the example showed higher front luminance than the liquid crystal display device of the comparative example (FIGS. 3 to 10). This is considered to be because the wavelength conversion layer containing the quantum dot which is a luminescent material is thicker than the liquid crystal display device of a comparative example. Although the wavelength conversion layer is thus thickened, the barrier member A is peeled off as a temporary support, so the total thickness of the liquid crystal panel with wavelength conversion layer is the same as in the comparative example. As described above, according to the present invention, the liquid crystal display device can be thinned without relying on the thinning of the wavelength conversion layer.
本発明は、液晶表示装置の製造分野において有用である。
The present invention is useful in the field of manufacturing liquid crystal display devices.
