Abstract

Provided are an optical film that can reduce reflectance, increase luminance, reduce thickness, and improve color reproducibility a display device, and a display device using the same. An optical film characterized by comprising a transparent substrate, a colored layer laminated on one surface side of the transparent substrate and containing a dye, and a functional layer laminated on the other surface side of the transparent substrate, wherein the dye contains a first coloring material having a maximum absorption wavelength of 470 to 530 nm and a half width of the absorption spectrum of 15 to 45 nm, and a second coloring material having a maximum absorption wavelength of 560 to 620 nm and a half width of the absorption spectrum of 15 to 55 nm, and the transparent substrate has an ultraviolet shielding rate of 85% or more according to JIS L 1925.

Claims (27)

a transparent substrate,

a colored layer laminated on one surface side of the transparent substrate and including a dye, and

a functional layer laminated on the other surface side of the transparent substrate, wherein

the dye includes

a first coloring material having a maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 470 to 530 nm and a half width of the absorption spectrum of 15 to 45 nm, and

a second coloring material having a maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 560 to 620 nm and a half width of the absorption spectrum of 15 to 55 nm,

and, wherein

the transparent substrate has an ultraviolet shielding rate of 85% or more according to JIS L 1925,

the first coloring material is a pyrromethene cobalt complex, and

the colored layer includes a hindered amine light stabilizer having a molecular weight of 2000 or more.

2 . The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the surface has a pencil hardness of H or higher under a load of 500 g.

3 . The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the colored layer includes at least one of a peroxide decomposer or a singlet oxygen quencher.

4 . The optical film according to claim 3 , wherein the singlet oxygen quencher included in the colored layer is a transition metal complex of dialkyl phosphate, dialkyldithiocarbamate or benzenedithiol or similar dithiol.

5 . The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the colored layer further includes, as the dye, a third coloring material having a maximum absorption wavelength within the range of 650 to 800 nm.

6 . The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein the dye included in the colored layer includes one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds having any one of a porphyrin structure, a merocyanine structure, a phthalocyanine structure, an azo structure, a cyanine structure, a squarylium structure, a coumarin structure, a polyene structure, a quinone structure, a tetraazaporphyrin structure, a pyrromethene structure and an indigo structure and metal complexes thereof.

7 . The optical film according to claim 1 , further comprising an oxygen barrier layer having an oxygen permeability of 10 cc/(m 2 *day*atm) or less between the transparent substrate and the colored layer or on the other side of the transparent substrate.
