실시예 1Example 1

위상차 필름이 부착된 편광판의 구조는 도 1의 실시형태와 동일하며, 편광판을 구성하는 보호필름으로는 25㎛의 TAC(Triacetyl cellulose) 필름을 사용하였고, 편광자는 22㎛의 PVA(Polyvinyl alcohol) 필름을 사용하였다. 그리고, 점착제는 15㎛의 PSA(Pressure sensitive adhesive) 필름을 사용하였고, 위상차 필름은 역파장 분산성을 갖는 50㎛의 λ/4 위상차 필름(상품명 WRS 필름)을 사용하였다.The structure of the polarizing plate to which the retardation film is attached is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and a protective film constituting the polarizing plate is a 25 μm Triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film, and the polarizer is a 22 μm polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film.

다만, 편광자 흡수축은 굴곡축에 대해 수직이고 위상차 필름의 지상축은 굴곡축에 대해 45° 경사각을 이루도록 형성된 점이 상이하다(도 5 참조).However, the polarizer absorption axis is perpendicular to the bending axis and the slow axis of the retardation film is different from the point formed to form a 45 ° inclination angle with respect to the bending axis (see FIG. 5).

비교예 1Comparative Example 1

위상차 필름이 부착된 편광판의 구조 및 소재는 실시예 1과 동일하다.The structure and material of the polarizing plate with retardation film are the same as in Example 1.

다만, 편광자 흡수축은 굴곡축에 대해 45° 경사각을 이루고 위상차 필름의 지상축은 굴곡축에 대해 평행하게 형성된 점이 상이하다(도 6 참조).However, the polarizer absorption axis forms an inclination angle of 45 ° with respect to the bending axis, and the slow axis of the retardation film is different from the point formed in parallel with the bending axis (see FIG. 6).

비교예 2Comparative Example 2

위상차 필름이 부착된 편광판의 구조 및 소재는 실시예 1과 동일하다.The structure and material of the polarizing plate with retardation film are the same as in Example 1.

다만, 편광자 흡수축은 굴곡축에 대해 45° 경사각을 이루고 위상차 필름의 지상축은 굴곡축에 대해 수직으로 형성된 점이 상이하다(도 7 참조).However, the polarizer absorption axis forms an inclination angle of 45 ° with respect to the bending axis, and the slow axis of the retardation film is different from the point formed perpendicular to the bending axis (see FIG. 7).

실험예Experimental Example

실시예 1, 2(본 발명) 및 비교예 1, 2에 대해 각각 굴곡부와 비굴곡부의 정면 위상차(Ro)와 색차(ΔEab)를 측정한 결과는 표 1과 같다.Table 1 shows the results of measuring the front phase difference Ro and the color difference ΔEab of the bent portion and the non-bended portion, respectively in Examples 1 and 2 (invention) and Comparative Examples 1 and 2.

[표 1]TABLE 1

Figure PCTKR2015009913-appb-I000001
Figure PCTKR2015009913-appb-I000001

상기 측정 결과를 참조하면, 비굴곡부의 위상차는 실시예 1, 2 및 비교예 1, 2 모두 비교적 동일하지만, 굴곡부의 위상차는 위상차 필름의 지상축이 굴곡축에 평행할수록(비교예 1 참조) 작게 나타나고 수직으로 될수록(비교예 2 참조) 크게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있으며, 특히 위상차 필름의 지상축이 굴곡축에 대해 45° 경사각을 이룰 경우(실시예 1, 2 참조) 비굴곡부의 위상차와 실질적으로 동일함을 알 수 있다. 이 경우, 굴곡부와 비굴곡부의 위상차 차이는 5nm 이하인 것이 바람직하며, 적어도 10nm 이하로 되어야 한다.Referring to the measurement results, the phase difference of the non-bending portion is relatively the same in Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Examples 1, 2, but the phase difference of the bending portion is smaller as the slow axis of the retardation film is parallel to the bending axis (see Comparative Example 1). Appear and become vertical (see Comparative Example 2), and appear larger, especially when the slow axis of the retardation film forms an inclination angle of 45 ° with respect to the bending axis (see Examples 1 and 2). It can be seen. In this case, the difference in phase difference between the bent portion and the non-bended portion is preferably 5 nm or less, and should be at least 10 nm or less.

굴곡부와 비굴곡부의 위상차 차이가 10 nm를 초과할 경우 반사색감 차이가 발생할 수 있으며, 굴곡부와 비굴곡부의 색차 ΔEab가 3을 초과하게 되면 사람이 육안으로 느낄 수 있기 때문이다. 참고로, 1976년에 제정된 등색공간(Uniform Color Space)의 정의로 ΔE*ab와 ΔE*uv가 있으며 이중에 ΔE*ab가 널리 사용되고 있는데, ΔE*ab값이 3 이하이면 사람이 색차를 느끼지 못하는 기준으로 사용된다.If the difference between the phase difference between the curved portion and the non-flex portion is greater than 10 nm, the difference in reflection color may occur. When the color difference ΔEab of the curved portion and the non-flex portion exceeds 3, the human body may feel it. For reference, there are ΔE * ab and ΔE * uv as the definition of Uniform Color Space established in 1976. Among them, ΔE * ab is widely used.If ΔE * ab is 3 or less, people do not feel color difference. It is not used as a standard.

그러므로, 위상차 필름의 지상축이 굴곡축에 대해 40° 내지 50° 경사각을 이룰 경우, 바람직하게는 45° 경사각을 이룰 경우 굴곡부와 비굴곡부의 위상차 차이가 작아져 실질적으로 동일한 성능(예, 반사방지 기능)을 나타낼 수 있으며, 이에 따라 시인성을 높이고 폴더블 디스플레이의 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다.Therefore, when the slow axis of the retardation film has an inclination angle of 40 ° to 50 ° with respect to the bend axis, and preferably at 45 ° inclination, the difference in phase difference between the bent portion and the non-bending portion is reduced, thereby substantially the same performance (eg antireflection).

이하에서는 도 8 내지 도 10을 참조하여, 본 발명에 따른 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하는 방법에 대해 설명한다.Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a polarizer integrated touch sensing electrode according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.

먼저, 도 8은 종래기술에 따른 제조 방법을 적용하여 종래기술에 따른 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하는 방식을 대략적으로 나타낸 것이다.First, FIG. 8 schematically illustrates a method of manufacturing a polarizer integrated touch sensing electrode according to the prior art by applying the manufacturing method according to the prior art.

도 8을 참조하면, 종래기술의 경우, 투명 기판(substrate) 상에 포토리소그래피(photolithography) 기술을 이용하여 복수개의 터치 감지 전극(100)을 형성한 후, 그 위에 위상차 필름(240)과 편광판(200)을 점층하여 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하였다.Referring to FIG. 8, in the related art, after the plurality of touch sensing electrodes 100 are formed on a transparent substrate by using photolithography, the retardation film 240 and the polarizing plate are formed thereon. 200) was laminated to manufacture a polarizer integrated touch sensing electrode.

구체적인 예로서, 5.5G(1,300mm×1,500mm) 글래스(glass)를 사용하는 터치 센서 제조 공정을 살펴보면, 1,300mm×1,500mm의 글래스 상에 포토리소그래피(photolithography) 기술을 이용하여 복수개의 사각형 터치 감지 전극(100)을 형성하는데, 이 경우 면취율을 높이기 위해 터치 감지 전극의 길이 방향은 글래스의 길이 방향과 동일하게 형성되며, 따라서 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축도 글래스의 길이 방향과 동일하게 형성된다. 그리고, 터치 감지 전극이 형성된 글래스 상에 글래스와 실질적으로 형상과 크기(1,300mm×1,500mm)가 동일한 위상차 필름(240)을 점층하고, 그 위에 편광판(200)을 부착하여, 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축과 위상차 필름의 지상축이 실질적으로 동일한 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극이 제조되었다. 참고로, 이 경우 터치 감지 전극이 형성된 글래스의 면취율은 약 99%이고, 위상차 필름의 면취율도 약 99%이다. 그러나, 전술한 실시예 1, 2 및 비교예 1, 2의 실험 결과에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이 굴곡(bending) 후 광특성이 저하되는 문제점이 있다.As a specific example, referring to a touch sensor manufacturing process using 5.5G (1,300mm × 1500mm) glass, a plurality of rectangular touch sensing using photolithography technology is performed on 1,300mm × 1500mm glass. In this case, in order to increase the chamfering rate, the length direction of the touch sensing electrode is formed to be the same as the length direction of the glass, and thus the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode is also formed to be the same as the length direction of the glass. Then, the retardation film 240 having the same shape and size (1,300mm × 1,500mm) as the glass is gradually laminated on the glass on which the touch sensing electrode is formed, and the polarizing plate 200 is attached thereon, thereby bending the touch sensing electrode. A polarizing plate-integrated touch sensing electrode having substantially the same axis as the slow axis of the retardation film was produced. For reference, in this case, the chamfering ratio of the glass on which the touch sensing electrode is formed is about 99%, and the chamfering ratio of the retardation film is about 99%. However, as can be seen in the experimental results of the above-described Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, there is a problem in that the optical characteristics are lowered after bending.

한편, 본 발명에 따른 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하기 위해서는 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축과 위상차 필름의 지상축이 경사각(40°내지 50°, 바람직하게는 45°)을 이루도록 제조되어야 하는데, 이와 관련하여 도 9는 종래기술에 따른 제조 방법을 적용하여 본 발명의 일 실시형태에 따른 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하는 방식을 대략적으로 나타낸 것이다.Meanwhile, in order to manufacture a polarizing plate-integrated touch sensing electrode according to the present invention, the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode and the slow axis of the retardation film should be manufactured to form an inclination angle (40 ° to 50 °, preferably 45 °). 9 schematically illustrates a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate-integrated touch sensing electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention by applying the manufacturing method according to the prior art.

전술한5.5G(1,300mm×1,500mm) 글래스(glass)를 사용하는 터치 센서 제조 공정을 예로 들면, 1,300mm×1,500mm의 글래스 상에 포토리소그래피(photolithography) 기술을 이용하여 복수개의 사각형 터치 감지 전극(100)을 형성하는데, 이 경우 면취율을 높이기 위해 터치 감지 전극의 길이 방향은 글래스의 길이 방향과 동일하게 형성되며, 따라서 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축도 글래스의 길이 방향과 동일하게 형성된다. 한편, 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축과 위상차 필름의 지상축이 경사각(40°내지 50°, 바람직하게는 45°)을 이루기 위해서는, 터치 감지 전극이 형성된 글래스 상에 위상차 필름(240)이 경사각을 이루어 점층되어야 하며, 따라서 1,300mm×1,500mm의 글래스 전체를 커버하기 위해서는 1,980mm의 광폭 위상차 필름을 사용하여야 한다. 그러나, 1,980mm의 광폭 위상차 필름은 현재 양산되고 있지 않으며, 설령 1,980mm의 광폭 위상차 필름을 사용하더라도 면취율이 약 47%로 낮아져 비용이 증가하게 된다.In the above-described touch sensor manufacturing process using 5.5G (1,300mm × 1500mm) glass, a plurality of square touch sensing electrodes using photolithography technology on 1,300mm × 1500mm glass In this case, in order to increase the chamfering rate, the longitudinal direction of the touch sensing electrode is formed to be the same as the longitudinal direction of the glass, and thus the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode is also formed to be the same as the longitudinal direction of the glass. Meanwhile, in order for the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode and the slow axis of the retardation film to form an inclination angle (40 ° to 50 °, preferably 45 °), the phase difference film 240 forms an inclination angle on the glass on which the touch sensing electrode is formed. It must be layered, so a 1,980 mm wide retardation film must be used to cover the entire 1,300 mm x 1500 mm glass. However, the 1,980 mm wide retardation film is not currently in mass production, and even when using a wide retardation film of 1,980 mm, the chamfering rate is lowered to about 47% to increase the cost.

이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 본 발명의 일 실시형태에 따른 제조 방법은 투명 기판 상에 터치 감지 전극을 포토리소그래피(photolithography)하는 과정에서 처음부터 굴곡축이 경사각을 갖도록 형성한다. 이와 관련하여 도 10은 본 발명에 따른 제조 방법을 적용하여 본 발명의 일 실시형태에 따른 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조하는 방식을 개략적으로 나타낸 것이다.In order to solve this problem, the manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed so that the bending axis has an inclination angle from the beginning in the process of photolithography the touch sensing electrode on the transparent substrate. In this regard, FIG. 10 schematically illustrates a method of manufacturing a polarizing plate integrated touch sensing electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention by applying the manufacturing method according to the present invention.

In this case, it is laminated so that the slow axis of the retardation film is the same as the longitudinal direction of the rectangular transparent substrate, and the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode is inclined angle (40 ° to 50 °, preferably 45 °) of the rectangular transparent substrate. To have). Thereafter, when the retardation film on which the touch sensing electrode is formed is delaminated on the transparent substrate, and the polarizing plate 200 is attached thereon in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular transparent substrate, the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode and the slow axis of the retardation film The polarizing plate-integrated touch sensing electrode forming this inclination angle can be manufactured.

한편, 제2 방식으로서, 투명 기판 상에 포토리소그래피(photolithography) 기술을 이용하여 복수개의 터치 감지 전극(100)을 형성하는데, 이 경우 사각형 투명 기판의 길이 방향과 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축이 경사각(40°내지 50°, 바람직하게는 45°)을 갖도록 형성한다. 그리고, 위상차 필름에 터치 감지 전극을 전사(transferring)하는데, 이 경우 마찬가지로 위상차 필름의 지상축과 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축은 경사각을 갖도록 형성된다. 그 후, 터치 감지 전극이 형성된 위상차 필름에 편광판(200)을 부착하면, 터치 감지 전극의 굴곡축과 위상차 필름의 지상축이 경사각을 이루는 편광판 일체형 터치 감지 전극을 제조할 수 있게 된다.Meanwhile, as a second method, a plurality of touch sensing electrodes 100 are formed on the transparent substrate by using photolithography technology, in which case the longitudinal direction of the rectangular transparent substrate and the bending axis of the touch sensing electrodes are inclined angles ( 40 ° to 50 °, preferably 45 °). The touch sensing electrode is transferred to the retardation film. In this case, the slow axis of the retardation film and the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode are formed to have an inclination angle. Thereafter, when the polarizing plate 200 is attached to the retardation film on which the touch sensing electrode is formed, the polarizing plate integrated touch sensing electrode may be manufactured in which the bending axis of the touch sensing electrode and the slow axis of the retardation film form an inclination angle.
