The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a mold for manufacturing an optical film, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a mold including a step of superimposing a three-dimensional structure on a mold for manufacturing an optical film using a laser.
In a liquid crystal display (LCD), which is one of the fields to which the present invention can be applied, generally, an upper substrate on which a common electrode and a color filter and the like are formed, a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode and the like are formed. An image is expressed by injecting a liquid crystal substance between the lower substrate and forming an electric field between the pixel electrode and the common electrode to change the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules and thereby adjusting the light transmission rate. It is a device to do.
Since such a liquid crystal display panel is a light receiving element that cannot emit light by itself, a backlight unit for supplying light is required. Generally, the backlight unit comprises a light source for supplying light, a diffuser plate or a light guide plate for converting a line light source, a point light source, or the like into a surface light source, and various optical films for improving optical performance.
Optical films used in the backlight unit include a light-condensing film for improving brightness, a diffuser film that functions to hide defects on the back surface of the backlight and bright lines of the light source, and scratches the light-condensing film and diffuser film. There is a protective film etc. to protect from.
Among these, a condensing film usually has a lens structure for deflecting an optical path periodically arranged on one surface thereof. Examples of the lens structure used for the condensing film include a triangular prismatic prism lens, a semi-cylindrical lenticular lens, a microlens, and a Fresnel lens.
Such a lens structure is effective in condensing the light emitted from the light source toward the front of the display to improve the brightness of the display device, but the regular arrangement of the lens structure and the air gap ( The air gap) causes a moire phenomenon, a wet-out phenomenon, a Newton ring phenomenon, and the like, which causes a problem of inducing surface defects on the screen.
Further, while a large number of optical films are laminated on each other, an adhesion phenomenon (blocking) occurs between the optical films, and such an adhesion phenomenon also induces a surface defect on the screen.
Therefore, there has been an attempt to solve the above problems by relaxing the regularity of a lens structure such as a prism or a lenticular lens. Typically, a method of relaxing the regularity of a lens structure by projecting beads having a size of several micrometers to several tens of micrometers onto the surface of a mold in which the shape of the lens structure is engraved and sanding. Was proposed. When the bead sanding is performed on the mold in which the shape of the lens structure is engraved in this way, a secondary three-dimensional structure irregularly formed in the shape of the lens structure is further formed, and as a result, the lens structure is formed. The regularity of objects is relaxed, and the effect of improving the moire phenomenon can be obtained.
However, with this method, since the projection position of the beads cannot be controlled, the formation position of the secondary structure cannot be predicted, and the smaller the shape of the lens structure, the warmer the air flow on the concave surface of the mold. As a result, the beads are not projected and sanding occurs only on the convex surface of the mold, which causes a problem of lowering the optical performance. In addition, since it is difficult to maintain reproducibility for each sanding, there is a problem in terms of product reliability. In addition, the optical film produced by such a method was effective in improving moire to some extent, but the randomly formed secondary structure reduced the light-collecting effect of the lens structure, resulting in haze. There is a problem that (Haze) becomes high. Further, in such a bead sanding method, there is a limit in improving the wet-out phenomenon and the film adhesion phenomenon.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
As a result of diligent research by the present inventors, by forming a three-dimensional structure in which the height and distribution (interval) are controlled on the surface of the optical film, moire, wetout, etc. It was discovered that the occurrence of surface defects due to adhesion between Newton rings and films can be epoch-makingly improved.
More specifically, in an optical film including a light incident surface and a light emitting surface, the present inventors have a plurality of three-dimensional structures (1) which act as spacers on at least one surface of the light incident surface and the light emitting surface. It has been found that the optical performance of the optical film can be improved by suppressing the adhesion phenomenon of the films that occurs while a plurality of films are laminated by forming (hereinafter referred to as "protrusions").
According to the research by the present inventors, when the average diameter of the protrusions is D [μm], the average height is H [μm], and the average distance between adjacent protrusions is P [μm], (Equation). 1) 80 × H<sup>1/3</sup>P 200 x H<sup>1/3</sup>It is preferable that the lens is formed so as to satisfy (Equation 2) 0.1 × D H D, and is preferably formed at the mountain portion of the lens structure.
Further, the inventors of the present invention can further improve the optical performance by further forming a lens-shaped three-dimensional structure (hereinafter referred to as "convex portion") in addition to the protrusions on the surface of the optical film. In particular, it has been found that when a convex portion is formed in the valley portion of the lens structure, it has an epoch-making effect on the improvement of moire.
1 and 3 show specific examples of such an optical film.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the optical film of the present invention, the light incident surface 30 and the light emitting surface 20 can all be flat surfaces, and at least one or more of the light incident surface 30 and the light emitting surface 20. A plurality of protrusions 10 are formed on the surface. At this time, the large number of protrusions 10 are formed so as to satisfy the above-mentioned (Equation 1) and (Equation 2).
When the light incident surface 30 and the light emitting surface 20 are all flat optical films, surface defects due to moire, Newton ring, and wetout caused by the lens structure do not occur, but surface defects due to adhesion of the optical film occur. .. When protrusions are formed on the light incident surface and / or the light emitting surface as in the present invention, they act as spacers with other optical films on which the protrusions are laminated. Adhesion can be prevented. However, if the protrusions are formed too finely, the haze becomes severe, and the diffusion effect generated from the protrusions reduces the light-collecting effect, resulting in loss of brightness. Further, if the distance between the protrusions is too wide, there is almost no effect of preventing adhesion between the films. Therefore, in the present invention, by controlling the height and spacing of the protrusions within the ranges of the above (Equation 1) and (Equation 2), the adhesion between the films can be effectively prevented, and the loss of brightness and haze can be prevented. Prevented the addition.
On the other hand, in the optical film of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting surface may be made of the lens structure 25, and the light incident surface 30 may be made of a flat surface. In this case, the plurality of protrusions 10 are preferably formed on the lens structure 25, particularly in the vicinity of the apex of the lens structure 20, that is, in the mountain portion. Further, although not shown in the drawing, a plurality of protrusions 10 may be formed on the light incident surface 30 of the optical film.
In FIG. 4, the protrusions 10 are formed on the entire individual lens structure 25, but the distribution of the protrusions may differ depending on the height of the protrusions to be formed, the desired optical performance, and the like. It suffices to be formed so as to satisfy the above (Equation 1) and (Equation 2), and the protrusions do not necessarily have to be formed on the entire lens structure.
When the protrusion 10 is formed on the mountain portion of the lens structure 25 and / or the light incident surface 30 as in the present invention, the protrusion acts as a spacer to prevent adhesion between the films, resulting in wet-out or Newton ring. It has the effect of preventing surface defects due to.
FIG. 2 illustrates the case where the lens structure 20 is a lenticular lens, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lens structure 20 is used for condensing various lenses in the art. It should be understood to include all lens structures such as prisms, lenticular lenses, microarray lenses, Fresnel lenses and the like.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the optical film of the present invention can further include a convex portion 40 on the lens structure 25 in addition to the protrusion 10. The convex portion 40 is preferably formed at a valley portion of the lens structure. When the convex portion 40 is formed in the valley portion of the lens structure, it plays a role of preventing moire by reducing the difference in the amount of transmission between the peak portion and the valley portion of the lens structure.
The optical film related to the present invention will be described in more detail in another application of the applicant filed on the same date (title of the invention: optical film and method for producing the same).
However, it is not possible to control the spacing and height of the protrusions as described above by a method such as conventional bead sanding. Therefore, a new method for producing such a film has been required. The present invention is for solving such a problem, and the method for manufacturing an optical film mold of the present invention is characterized by laminating three-dimensional structures using a laser.
Hereinafter, the method for manufacturing the mold of the present invention will be described in more detail.
The mold manufacturing method of the present invention is characterized by including a step of superimposing a three-dimensional structure on the surface of the mold using a laser.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the mold may be an uneven surface in which the shape of the lens structure or the like is engraved, or may be a flat surface. When manufacturing a mold used for manufacturing the surface of an optical film on which a lens structure is formed, such as the upper surface of a condensing film, use a mold in which the shape of the lens structure is engraved and use a diffusion film. When manufacturing a mold used for manufacturing an optical film that does not have a different shape on the surface, such as a mold having a flat surface, a mold having a flat surface can be used.
On the other hand, when the surface of the mold is an uneven surface, the shape of the uneven surface is not limited to this, but is the shape of a lens structure such as a microlens array, a lenticular lens, a Fresnel lens, or a prism. It may be.
On the other hand, the present invention is characterized in that a three-dimensional structure is laminated on the surface of a mold by using a laser. The reason for using the laser in the present invention is that the etching shape, area and depth of the metal per pulse can be adjusted by adjusting the optical system, so that the position and height at which the three-dimensional structure to be overlaid is formed are formed. This is because the etching can be controlled perfectly. In the case of the bead sanding method, which has been widely used in the past, there is a problem that the formation position and height of the three-dimensional structure cannot be controlled at all. FIG. 5 shows an optical film manufactured using a mold manufactured by a conventional bead sanding method. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the sizes of the protrusions (three-dimensional structures) are also different, and the formation positions are also randomly arranged. When the protrusions having such an irregular shape and distribution are formed on the optical film, it is impossible to control the optical performance.
On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows a photograph of an optical film manufactured by using a laser. As shown in FIG. 6, when a three-dimensional structure is engraved using a laser, the formation position and height of the three-dimensional structure can be controlled almost perfectly, so that an optical film having even better optical performance can be controlled. It has the advantage that it can be manufactured and has excellent reproducibility.
Further, in the case of bead sanding, the three-dimensional shape previously formed on the mold, that is, the lens structure is often damaged while the beads are projected, but when a laser is used, there is almost no such damage. There is an advantage.
Further, since the laser starts processing after it comes into contact with the etching surface, it is possible to impart a secondary shape having a uniform depth from the bent surface even if a three-dimensional shape exists on the surface of the mold.
Further, when laser machining is performed on a flat surface without unevenness, the shape per pulse is not as uniform as that of bite machining, which is rather advantageous in order to suppress moire and wet-out phenomena that appear due to uniformity.
On the other hand, the laser processing conditions of the present invention are determined by the height, diameter, spacing, mold material, and the like of the three-dimensional structure to be laminated. That is, by adjusting the processing conditions of the laser, the height, diameter, spacing, etc. of the three-dimensional structures to be overlaid can be adjusted, and the three-dimensional structures to be overlaid can be regularly or irregularly processed as needed. Can be formed into.
For example, 1.2x10<sup>7</sup>J / cm<sup>2</sup>By irradiating the laser with a laser pulse energy per area, a protrusion structure having a width of 15 μm and a height of 5 μm can be formed. However, the above conditions are an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Since the laser processing method is well known in the art, a person skilled in the art can refer to the prior art and the present invention to form a desired protrusion by laser processing.
On the other hand, the three-dimensional structure to be laminated in the present invention may have a protruding shape or a convex lens shape, and as shown in FIG. 3, a three-dimensional structure having a protruding shape and a three-dimensional structure having a convex lens shape are used. All may be included.
On the other hand, when the surface of the mold is an uneven surface and the three-dimensional structure has a protrusion, the three-dimensional structure having the protrusion corresponds to the concave surface of the uneven surface (in the optical film, the mountain portion of the lens structure). ) Is preferably inscribed. When an optical film is manufactured using a mold in which protrusions are engraved on the concave surface of the uneven surface in this way, the manufactured optical film has protrusions on the mountain portion of the lens structure. When a protrusion is formed on the mountain portion of the lens structure, the protrusion acts as a spacer to prevent adhesion between the films, and has an effect of preventing surface defects due to wetout or Newton ring.
In this case, the protruding three-dimensional structure is not limited to this, but is 80 × H.<sup>1/3</sup>P 200 x H<sup>1/3</sup>And 0.1 × D H D is preferable. At this time, H means the average height of the protrusions, P means the average distance between adjacent protrusions, and D means the average diameter of the protrusions. As described above, when the protrusions are formed while satisfying the above range, moire, wetout, Newton ring phenomenon, and adhesion phenomenon between films can be effectively improved without damaging the brightness at all. Is.
Further, in this case, when laminating the protruding three-dimensional structure, it is preferable to change the initial phase of the laser along the width direction of the optical film. When the initial phase of the laser is changed along the width direction of the optical film during processing, irregularity is given while the formation position of the protrusions changes little by little depending on the width direction of the optical film. In this case, unlike bead sanding, protrusions are not formed completely randomly, so that the decrease in brightness hardly occurs.
On the other hand, when the surface of the mold is an uneven surface and the three-dimensional structure has a convex lens shape, it is preferable that the convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure is formed on the convex surface of the uneven surface. When a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure is engraved on the convex surface of the mold, when an optical film is manufactured using the mold, a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure is formed at the valley of the lens structure of the optical film. In this case, the moire can be improved more effectively. One of the main causes of moiré is the difference in the amount of transmission between the peaks and valleys of the lens structure. In general, since the valley portion of the lens structure has a cusp shape, the light incident on the valley portion has a larger amount of reflection than the transmitted amount, and as a result, the brightness is relatively higher than that of the peak portion. It becomes weaker and causes regular installations that cause moire. However, when a lens-shaped convex portion is formed in the valley portion of the lens structure as in the present invention, the transmission amount of the valley portion is improved, and as a result, moire can be further effectively improved.
However, if the size of the convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure is relatively larger than that of the protruding three-dimensional structure, the convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure may be processed through bead sanding or bite processing other than laser processing. When processing a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure by using bead sanding or bite processing, it is preferable that such processing is performed before laser processing.
On the other hand, when processing a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure through bead sanding, the position cannot be controlled as in laser processing, but in general, the concave portion of the mold (that is, in the optical film) is formed by the air warming flow generated during bead sanding. Since the beads are mainly sanded on the convex portion of the mold (that is, the valley portion of the lens structure in the optical film) rather than the mountain portion of the lens structure), a similar effect can be obtained.
On the other hand, the laser processing may be performed a plurality of times during the production of the mold of the present invention. By performing the laser processing a plurality of times in this way, the three-dimensional structure having a protrusion shape and the three-dimensional structure having a convex lens shape are sequentially processed, and the shapes of two or more three-dimensional structures having different forms are engraved. A mold for an optical film can be manufactured. For example, first, a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure is etched on a mold in which a lenticular lens shape is engraved using a laser, and then the protruding three-dimensional structure is etched again using a laser to obtain a lenticular lens layer. It is possible to obtain a mold in which a convex lens-shaped three-dimensional structure and a protruding three-dimensional structure are engraved.
On the other hand, there are no particular restrictions on the type and material of the mold used in the present invention. For example, the mold may be flat, caterpillar or drum, and the material may be nickel, chrome or ceramic material, or polymer or silica coated polymer material. However, due to the characteristics of laser processing, a hard material such as nickel, chrome or ceramic is more preferable than a soft material for the mold. This is because if the material is soft, deformation is likely to occur during laser processing.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through specific examples.
