[6]バックライト及び液晶パネルを備えた液晶表示装置であって、前記バックライトが請求項5に記載のバックライトである液晶表示装置。
バリアフィルムは、蛍光体を含む蛍光体層を備える波長変換シート用のバリアフィルムである。バリアフィルムは、酸素及び水蒸気が外部環境から蛍光体層に到達して、該蛍光体層が劣化することを防止するために設けられる。
本開示のバリアフィルムは、バリア層と、プライマー層とを有し、前記プライマー層は、ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物の硬化物を含有し、前記プライマー層の前記バリア層と反対側の面は、X線光電子分光法によって得られるC1sスペクトルにおけるC-C結合に由来するピークの面積をP1、前記C1sスペクトルにおけるC-O結合に由来するピークの面積をP2としたときに、P2/P1が0.55以上である。
以下、バリアフィルムの各層について説明する。
基材層は、主としてバリア層及びプライマー層の支持体としての役割を担う。基材層は、高い光透過性を有するものが好適である。具体的には、基材層は、JIS K 7361-1:1997に準拠する全光線透過率が85%以上であることが好ましく、90%以上であることがより好ましい。
尚、上記の接着剤に代えて、例えば、熱硬化性樹脂や、熱可塑性樹脂に架橋剤等を含有させた樹脂により接着層を形成しても良い。あるいは、EVA、アイオノマー、ポリビニルブチラール(PVB)、ポリエチレン系樹脂等の熱可塑性樹脂を、押し出しラミネートにより基材の間に押出し、接着層を形成しても良い。
下地層としては、例えば、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリウレタン系樹脂、エポキシ系樹脂、フェノール系樹脂、(メタ)アクリル系樹脂、ポリ酢酸ビニル系樹脂、ポリエチレンあるいはポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィン系樹脂あるいはその共重合体ないし変性樹脂、セルロース系樹脂、その他等をビヒクルの主成分とする樹脂組成物を使用することができる。
バリア層は、バリアフィルムにガスバリア性を付与する層である。
図1に示す例では、バリア層30は、基材層20側から順に、無機酸化物薄膜層32及び有機被覆層34が積層されて構成される。なお、バリア層は図1の積層構成に限定されず、有機被覆層又は無機酸化物薄膜層が単層で形成されたものであっても良く、無機酸化物薄膜層と有機被覆層とが交互に2層以上積層されるような層であっても良い。また、無機酸化物薄膜層及び有機被覆層はそれぞれ、単層であっても良く複数層積層されたものであっても良い。
無機酸化物薄膜層は、酸化アルミニウム、酸化珪素、酸化マグネシウム又はこれらの混合物からなる層を例示することができる。十分なガスバリア性、透明性、生産性などの観点から、無機酸化物薄膜層は、酸化アルミニウム又は酸化珪素を主成分とする薄膜層であることが好ましい。
有機被覆層は、後工程での二次的な各種損傷を防止すると共に、バリアフィルムに高いガスバリア性を付与する層である。また、無機酸化物薄膜層が基材層と有機被覆層との間に位置することにより、無機酸化物薄膜層に傷や割れが発生することを軽減することができる。また、有機被覆層がプライマー層と接触して設けられることにより、本開示のプライマー層とバリア層の密着性を良好にすることができる。
プライマー層は、波長変換シートとしたときに蛍光体層との良好な密着性を確保して、高温高湿環境下においてもバリアフィルムと蛍光体層との剥離を防止し、蛍光体層の劣化を防止する役割を果たす。
なお、プライマー層はポリウレタン系樹脂組成物を含むため、C1sスペクトルにおいてC-N結合に由来するピークも観測され得る。しかし、C1sスペクトルでは、C-N結合の結合エネルギー(285.2~288.5eV)とC-O結合の結合エネルギー(286.0~286.8eV)とは近接している。本開示のプライマー層について、N1sスペクトルを用いて算出されるプライマー層表面のC-N結合の含有量(プライマー層を構成するすべての結合に対するC-N結合の割合)は、1.1%~2.3%程度であるのに対し、C1sスペクトルを用いて算出されるC-O結合の含有量は18.8~31.1%である。つまり、プライマー層中のC-N結合の含有量は、C-O結合の含有量に比べて非常に少なく無視できるため、C1sスペクトルではC-N結合に由来するピークの影響を無視することができる。すなわち、C1sスペクトルにおいて、285~287eV付近に表れるピークは、C-O結合由来であるとみなすことができる。
この理由は定かではないが、プライマー層表面の化学結合状態が関与していると考えられる。XPS分析で検出されるC-O結合のシグナルは、主として末端のC-OH基に由来する。つまり、P2/P1の値が大きいことは、プライマー層表面にOH基が多いことを意味する。波長変換シートを形成した際に、プライマー層表面のOH基は、蛍光体層の封止樹脂の官能基(例えば、NCO基など)と結合すると考えられる。このため、P2/P1が0.55以上と、表面のC-O結合が多いプライマー層であること(すなわち、表面のOH基が多いプライマー層であること)が、バリアフィルムと蛍光体層との密着性が向上させる一因であると考えられる。P2/P1は、0.65以上であることが好ましく、0.80以上であることがより好ましく、0.90以上であることが更に好ましい。なお、P2/P1が大きすぎると、バリアフィルムと蛍光体層との密着性が低下する場合がある。また、P2/P1が大きすぎると、プライマー層表面に水分が吸着しやすくなり、また、蛍光体層の封止樹脂の官能基との結合に寄与しないC-OH基が多く残存しやすくなる。吸着水分や残存C-OH基の影響で、バリアフィルムと蛍光体層との密着性が低下する虞や、プライマー層との界面近傍で蛍光体の劣化が進行しやすくなる虞がある。このため、P2/P1は、1.0以下であることが好ましい。
具体的に、多官能イソシアネートとしては、トリレンジイソシアネート、ジフェニルメタンジイソシアネート、キシリレンジイソシアネート、ポリメチレンポリフェニレンポリイソシアネート等の芳香族ポリイソシアネ-ト、あるいは、ヘキサメチレンジイソシアネート、イソホロンジイソシアネート等の脂肪族ポリイソシアネート等が挙げられる。
また、ヒドロキシル基含有化合物としては、ポリエーテルポリオール、ポリエステルポリオール、ポリエステルポリウレタンポリオール、ポリアクリレートポリオールなどが挙げられる。本開示においては、蛍光体層との密着性、及び、耐久性の観点から、ポリエステルポリウレタンポリオールが特に好ましい。ポリエステルポリウレタンポリオールは、例えば特開2001-288408号公報、特開2003-26996号公報に記載の方法により製造することができる。
ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中の水酸基の比率は、ヒドロキシル基含有化合物の水酸基価、ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中のNCO/OH比、ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物の分子量などを変えることにより調整することができる。特に、水酸基価を適切な範囲としながら、NCO/OH比を所定の範囲とすることにより、P2/P1の値を密着性が向上する適切な範囲に調整することができる。
ヒドロキシル基含有化合物の水酸基価は、40mgKOH/g以上であることが好ましく、42mgKOH/g以上であることがより好ましい。上記の水酸基価を有するヒドロキシル基含有化合物を用いることにより、P2/P1を0.55以上にしやすくすることができる。
ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中のNCO/OH比は、1.1以上であることが好ましく、1.2以上であることがより好ましい。また、ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中のNCO/OH比は、3.0以下であることが好ましく、2.0以下であることがより好ましい。NCO/OH比を上記範囲とすることにより、P2/P1を0.55以上としやすくすることができる。
ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物の製造に用いる多官能イソシアネート及びヒドロキシル基含有化合物の種類にもよるが、ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物の分子量が小さい程、相対的にポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中の水酸基の比率が高くなり、P2/P1を上記範囲としやすくなる。ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物の分子量(重量平均分子量)としては、1,000以上100,000以下であることが好ましい。
拡散層は、光の出射角分布の異方性の低減、及び、貼り付き防止を目的として設けられる層であり、本開示においては任意に設けられる層である。
拡散層は、バインダー樹脂及びフィラーを含む。フィラー自体がバインダー樹脂中に埋設されること、また、フィラーの少なくとも一部分がバインダー樹脂から層表面側に露出して拡散層表面に凹凸形状が付与されることによって、光の出射角分布の異方性の低減効果が得られる。
更に、拡散層表面が凹凸形状であることにより、バリアフィルムまたは波長変換シートの製造過程で、バリアフィルムまたは波長変換シート同士が接触しても貼り付きを防止する役割を有する。例えば、巻き取り方式でバリアフィルムまたは波長変換シートを製造する場合、バリアフィルムまたは波長変換シートの取り扱いが容易になるとともに、表面の傷つきを抑制することができる。また、表示装置としたときに、導光板または拡散板と波長変換シートとの貼り付きを防止する役割も有し、導光板または拡散板と波長変換シートとの擦れによる傷発生を抑制し、表示装置の外観不良の発生を低減する効果も奏する。
フィラーの屈折率と樹脂バインダーの屈折率との屈折率差は、0.5以下であることが好ましく、0.3以下であることがより好ましく、0.1以下であることがさらに好ましい。
なお、平均粒径は、例えば動的光散乱方式、レーザー回折散乱方式、又はSEM、TEM観察により測定することができる。あるいは、平均粒径は、例えば、JIS Z 8820及びJIS Z 8822に基づいた粒度分布測定において、D50の値として得られる粒径とすることもできる。
本開示のバリアフィルムの製造方法は、少なくとも、(1)バリア層形成工程、(2)プライマー層形成工程、を有する。
基材層(あるいは、第1の基材)の一方の表面に、バリア層として有機被覆層及び/又は無機酸化物薄膜層を積層する。有機被覆層及び無機酸化物薄膜層をバリア層とする場合は、まず基材層(あるいは、第1の基材)上に、無機酸化物薄膜層を形成し、該無機酸化物薄膜層上に有機被覆層を形成する。
尚、基材層(あるいは、第1の基材)のバリア層が形成される面に、予め、上述した表面処理が施されていても良いし、下地層が形成されていても良い。
バリア層上に、プライマー層を形成する。プライマー層は、上記ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物を含むコーティング剤を塗布し、加熱により硬化させて形成することができる。コーティング剤は、所望のP2/P1比、P3の面積比率、厚み、粘度などが得られるように、上記ガスバリア性組成物に溶媒等を加えて調整される。ポリウレタン系樹脂組成物中の多官能イソシアネートの含有量は、NCO/OH比が1.0~3.0となるように配合される。コーティング剤を塗布する方法は、ロールコート、グラビアコート、ナイフコート、デップコート、スプレイコート、その他のコーティング法の塗布方式を挙げることができる。
(3)接着工程
接着工程では、第1の基材のバリア層と反対側の面と、第2の基材とを、接着層を介して積層する。
具体的に、第1の基材の表面に、上述した接着剤を塗布し、第2の基材を重ね合わせ、接着層を硬化させる。あるいは、第1の基材の表面に、架橋剤及び樹脂を含むコーティング剤を塗布した後、第2の基材を重ね合わせ、該コーティング剤を熱などにより架橋させる。接着剤あるいはコーティング剤を塗布する方法は、ロールコート、グラビアコート、ナイフコート、デップコート、スプレイコート、その他のコーティング法、あるいは、印刷法等によって施すことができる。
あるいは、押出しラミネートにより、第1の基材と第2の基材との間に溶融した熱可塑性樹脂を流し、その後冷却して接着層を形成しても良い。
具体的には、樹脂とフィラーと溶剤等とを含むコーティング剤を、基材層または第2の基材のバリア層が設けられる面と反対側の表面に塗布し、硬化させて形成することができる。コーティング剤を塗布する方法は、ロールコート、グラビアコート、ナイフコート、デップコート、スプレイコート、その他のコーティング法の塗布方式を挙げることができる。

蛍光体層は、バックライト光源から発せられた光の発光波長を調整するための層である。蛍光体層は、蛍光体が含有された封止樹脂を積層することで形成することができる。例えば、蛍光体と封止樹脂とが含有された混合液を基材層の表面に塗布し、硬化することにより形成することができる。蛍光体層には、量子ドットからなる1種又は2種以上の蛍光体が含有される。
量子ドットは、赤に相当する波長の二次光を放出する量子ドット、緑に相当する波長の二次光を放出する量子ドット、及び、これらの組み合わせを含むことが好ましい。なお、量子ドットは、赤に相当する波長の二次光を放出する量子ドット、緑に相当する波長の二次光を放出する量子ドット以外の量子ドットを含有してもよい。
コアとなる材料として、具体的に、MgS、MgSe、MgTe、CaS、CaSe、CaTe、SrS、SrSe、SrTe、BaS、BaSe、BaTe、ZnS、ZnSe、ZnTe、CdS、CdSe、CdTe、HgS、HgSe及びHgTeのようなII-VI族半導体化合物;AlN、AlP、AlAs、AlSb、GaAs、GaP、GaN、GaSb、InN、InAs、InP、InSb、TiN、TiP、TiAs及びTiSbのようなIII-V族半導体化合物;Si、Ge及びPbのようなIV族半導体、等の半導体化合物又は半導体を含有する半導体結晶を例示できる。また、InGaPのような3元素以上を含んだ半導体化合物を含む半導体結晶を用いることもできる。
さらに、ドーパントを有する半導体微粒子からなる量子ドットとしては、上記半導体化合物に、Eu3+、Tb3+、Ag+、Cu+のような希土類金属のカチオン又は遷移金属のカチオンをドープしてなる半導体結晶を用いることもできる。
量子ドットのコアとなる材料としては、作製の容易性、可視域での発光を得られる粒径の制御性、蛍光量子収率の観点から、CdS、CdSe、CdTe、InP、InGaP等の半導体結晶が好適である。
コアシェル型の量子ドットを用いる場合にシェルを構成する半導体としては、励起子がコアに閉じ込められるように、コアを形成する半導体化合物よりもバンドギャップの高い材料を用いることで、量子ドットの発光効率を高めることができる。
このようなバンドギャップの大小関係を有するコアシェル構造(コア/シェル)としては、例えば、CdSe/ZnS、CdSe/ZnSe、CdSe/CdS、CdTe/CdS、InP/ZnS、Gap/ZnS、Si/ZnS、InN/GaN、InP/CdSSe、InP/ZnSeTe、InGaP/ZnSe、InGaP/ZnS、Si/AlP、InP/ZnSTe、InGaP/ZnSTe、InGaP/ZnSSe等が挙げられる。
一般的には、量子ドットの粒径(直径)は0.5nm~20nmの範囲であることが好ましく、特に1nm~10nmの範囲であることが好ましい。なお、量子ドットのサイズ分布が狭いほど、より鮮明な発光色を得ることができる。
量子ドットの形状は特に限定されず、例えば、球状、棒状、円盤状、その他の形状であってもよい。量子ドットの粒径は、粒子ドットが球状でない場合、同体積を有する真球状の値とすることができる。
量子ドットは、樹脂で被覆されているものであってもよい。
なお、本明細書において「(メタ)アクリレート」は、メタクリレート及びアクリレートを指すものである。また、本明細書において、「電離放射線」は、電磁波又は荷電粒子線のうち、分子を重合あるいは架橋し得るエネルギー量子を有するものを意味し、通常、紫外線(UV)又は電子線(EB)が用いられるが、その他、X線、γ線などの電磁波、α線、イオン線などの荷電粒子線も使用可能である。
アルキレンオキシ基としては、例えば、炭素数が2~4のアルキレンオキシ基が好ましく、炭素数が2又は3のアルキレンオキシ基がより好ましく、炭素数が2のアルキレンオキシ基がさらに好ましい。
多官能(メタ)アクリレート系化合物がアルキレンオキシ基を有する場合、一分子中のアルキレンオキシ基の数は、2個~30個であることが好ましく、2個~20個であることがより好ましく、3個~10個であることがさらに好ましく、3個~5個であることがよりさらに好ましい。
アルキレンオキシ基を有する多官能(メタ)アクリレート化合物としては、中でも、エトキシ化ビスフェノールA型ジ(メタ)アクリレート、プロポキシ化ビスフェノールA型ジ(メタ)アクリレート及びプロポキシ化エトキシ化ビスフェノールA型ジ(メタ)アクリレートが好ましく、エトキシ化ビスフェノールA型ジ(メタ)アクリレートがより好ましい。
内部拡散粒子は、有機粒子及び無機粒子の何れも用いることができる。有機粒子としては、ポリメチルメタクリレート、アクリル-スチレン共重合体、メラミン樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ポリスチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ベンゾグアナミン-メラミン-ホルムアルデヒド縮合物、シリコーン樹脂、フッ素系樹脂及びポリエステル等からなる粒子が挙げられる。無機微粒子としては、シリカ、アルミナ、ジルコニア及びチタニア等からなる微粒子が挙げられる。
内部拡散粒子の形状は、球形、円盤状、ラグビーボール状、不定形等の形状が挙げられる。また、内部拡散粒子は、中空粒子、多孔質粒子及び中実粒子の何れであってもよい。
蛍光体層の屈折率nZは、概ね封止樹脂の屈折率に支配される。蛍光体層は、量子ドットの含有量は少なく、また、内部拡散剤が入っていたとしても、内部拡散剤は粒子径が光の波長よりも大きく、層の屈折率には影響しないためである。
本開示の波長変換シートは、上記製造方法により製造したバリアフィルムを少なくとも1つ用いて製造することができる。以下では、図2に示すように、蛍光体層を本開示のバリアフィルムで挟む構成の波長変換シートを製造する方法を例に挙げる。
具体的には、本開示のバリアフィルムのプライマー層の表面に、蛍光体と封止樹脂とを含む混合液(インク)を塗布する。混合液(インク)を塗布する方法は、ロールコート、グラビアコート、ナイフコート、デップコート、スプレイコート、その他のコーティング法の塗布方式を挙げることができる。
そして、蛍光体層と、別の本開示のバリアフィルムのプライマー層と接触させる。その後、混合液(インク)を熱などにより硬化させて、波長変換シートを得る。
本開示のバックライトは、一次光を放出する少なくとも1つの光源と、該光源に隣接して配置され、導光又は拡散のための光学板と、該光学板の光出射側に配置された波長変換シート(量子ドットシート)とを備えたバックライトにおいて、該波長変換シートが上述した本開示の波長変換シートであるものである。
光源110としては、バックライトを設置する装置が単純化及び小型化できるという観点から、LED光源であることが好ましく、青色単色のLED光源であることがより好ましい。あるいは、青色単色のLED光源の上に赤色蛍光体を塗布し、青色及び赤色を呈する光源としてもよい。光源110は、少なくとも1つであり、十分な一次光を放出するという観点から、複数個であることが好ましい。
表示装置としては、例えば液晶表示装置が挙げられる。液晶表示装置は、バックライトと、液晶パネルを備えている。該バックライトが上記した本開示のバックライトである。

コアがセレン化カドミウム(CdSe)、シェルが硫化亜鉛(ZnS)からなる蛍光体(平均粒径3~5nmの量子ドット)に、封止樹脂(電離放射線硬化型ウレタンアクリレート系樹脂)を、封止樹脂100質量部に対して蛍光体が1質量部となるように混合して蛍光体層形成用混合液(インク)を作製した。
実施例及び比較例のバリアフィルム(それぞれ、上記インクを塗布したバリアフィルムと同じもの)を、上記蛍光体層上にプライマー層が蛍光体層と接触するように積層させ、UV硬化ラミネートすることにより、実施例1~4、比較例1~5の波長変換シートを作製した。
プライマー層と蛍光体層との界面の剥離強度は、P2/P1が0.50付近で急激に変化することが図6から読み取れる。P2/P1が0.55以上であることにより、剥離強度が13N/25mm以上となり、プライマー層と蛍光体層との間の密着性が良好となった。また、実施例は水酸基価が高く、このためP2/P1が高くなり密着性が向上したと考えられる。一方、表1に示すように、プライマー層表面の濡れ指数とP2/P1の値とに相関は見られなかった。このことから、プライマー層表面の濡れ性は、プライマー層と蛍光体層との間の密着性に影響が小さいと考えられる。
