Abstract

Disclosed is a gas barrier film alternately comprising at least one inorganic layer and at least one organic layer on a resin base material having a glass transition temperature of 250° C. or higher. The gas barrier film can exhibit superior gas barrier property when it is used in image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL devices.

Claims (22)

1. A gas barrier film comprising a resin base material having a glass transition temperature of 250° C. or higher on which there are at least one inorganic layer and at least one organic layer alternately disposed,

wherein the resin has a spiro structure represented by the following formula (1) or a cardo structure represented by the following formula (2):

wherein the rings α represent a monocyclic or polycyclic ring, and two of the rings are bound via a spiro bond,

wherein the ring β and the rings γ represent a monocyclic or polycyclic ring, and two of the rings γ may be identical or different and bond to one quaternary carbon atom in the ring β.

2. The gas baffler film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin has a spiro structure represented by the formula (1).

3. The gas baffler film according to claim 2 , wherein the resin has a spiro structure represented by the following formula (3):

wherein R 31 , R 32 and R 33 each independently represent hydrogen atom or a substituent, groups of each type may bond to each other to form a ring, and m and n represent an integer of 1 to 3.

4. The gas barrier film according to claim 2 , wherein the resin has a spiro structure represented by the following formula (4):

wherein R 41 and R 42 each independently represent hydrogen atom or a substituent, groups of each type may bond to each other to form a ring, and m and n represent an integer of 1 to 3.

5. The gas barrier film according to claim 2 , wherein the resin has a spiro structure represented by the following formula (5):

wherein R 51 and R 52 each independently represent hydrogen atom or a substituent, groups of each type may bond to each other to form a ring, and m and n represent an integer of 1 to 3.

6. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin has a cardo structure represented by the formula (2).

7. The gas barrier film according to claim 6 , wherein the resin has a cardo structure represented by the following formula (6):

wherein R 61 and R 62 each independently represent hydrogen atom or a substituent, groups of each type may bond to each other to form a ring, and j and k represent an integer of 1 to 4.

8. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is a polycarbonate, polyester, polyamide, polyimide or polyurethane having a spiro structure represented by the formula (1) or a cardo structure represented by the formula (2).

9. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is an aromatic polyester having a spiro structure represented by the formula (1) or a cardo structure represented by the formula (2).

10. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic layer contains a silicon oxide or a silicon oxynitride.

11. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the organic layer contains as a main component a crosslinked polymer compound obtained by polymerization of multifunctional monomers having an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group.

12. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , wherein the organic layer is obtained by applying a solution containing a polymer having a hydrogen bond-forming group and a metal alkoxide and drying the solution.

13. The gas barrier film according to claim 1 , which has an oxygen permeability of 0.02 mL/m 2 ·day·atm or lower at 23° C. and 90% of relative humidity, and a water vapor permeability of 0.02 g/m 2 ·day or lower at 23° C. and 100% of relative humidity.

14. An image display device having the gas barrier film according to claim 1 .

15. An organic electroluminescence device having the gas barrier film according to claim 1 .
