US 2009/0244708 A1 · Antiglare Film

Abstract

This invention provides an antiglare film which has high antiglare property and show little white-blurring. An embodiment of the present invention is an antiglare film having a binder matrix and particles on a transparent substrate. The binder matrix is an acrylic material. The particles are made of a copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate. The copolymerization ratio by weight of the styrene and methyl methacrylate is in the styrene:methacrylic acid=60:40 to 80:20 range. In addition, a quotient R/H, which is obtained by dividing an average diameter of the particles (R) by the average thickness of the antiglare layer (H), is in the 0.45-0.65 range. Moreover, a quotient wP/wB, which is obtained by dividing a content of the particles in the antiglare layer (wP) by a content of the binder matrix in the antiglare layer (wB) is in the 0.08-0/164.

An antiglare film comprising:

a transparent substrate;
and
an antiglare layer including a binder matrix and particles in said binder matrix, said antiglare layer being on said transparent substrate, said binder matrix having an acrylic material and cured by exposure to ionizing radiation, said particles being made of a copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate having copolymerization ratio by weight of styrene:methyl methacrylate in the 60:40-80:20 range, a quotient R/H obtained by dividing an average diameter of said particles (R) by an average thickness of said antiglare layer (H) being in the 0.45-0.65 range, a quotient wP/wB, obtained by dividing a content of said particles in said antiglare layer (wP) by a content of said binder matrix in said antiglare layer (wB) being in the 0.080-0/164 range.

A manufacturing method of an antiglare film having particles in a binder matrix on a transparent substrate comprising:

a process of coating a coating liquid for forming an antiglare layer to form a coated film on said transparent substrate in such a way that an average thickness of said coated film (H) which is measured after said coated film is made to an antiglare layer and an average diameter of said particles (R) satisfies a condition that a quotient R/H is in the 0.45-0.65 range, said coating liquid for forming an antiglare layer containing a binder matrix forming material, particles and a solvent, said particles being made of a copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate and satisfying a condition that a copolymerization ratio by weight of syrene:methyl methacrylate is in the 60:40-80:20 range, said coating liquid for forming an antiglare layer having a content of said particles (wP) and a content of said binder matrix (wB) which satisfies a relation that a quotient wP/wB is in the 0.080-0.104 range;
a process of drying to remove said solvent;
and
a process of exposing said coated film to ionizing radiation to cure said binder matrix forming material.
