Abstract

Disclosed is a light control film comprising: two transparent electroconductive resin substrates; and a light control layer sandwiched between the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates, the light control layer containing: a resin matrix; and a light control suspension dispersed in the resin matrix, wherein the light control film has a primer layer on the light control layer side of at least one of the transparent electroconductive resin substrates, and the primer layer is formed by using a phosphoric ester having in the molecule thereof one or more polymerizable groups. By virtue of the above constitution, the light control film has an improved adhesion between a film matrix and a substrate, and has a stable light control function.

Claims (23)

1. A light control film comprising:

two transparent electroconductive resin substrates; and

a light control layer sandwiched between the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates, the light control layer containing:

a resin matrix; and

a light control suspension dispersed in the resin matrix,

wherein the light control film has a primer layer on the light control layer side of at least one of the transparent electroconductive resin substrates, and the primer layer is formed by using a phosphoric ester having in the molecule thereof one or more polymerizable groups.

2. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein the primer layer is formed by using a phosphoric monoester or a phosphoric diester having in the molecule thereof one or more polymerizable groups.

3. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein the polymerizable group is a (meth)acryloyloxy group.

4. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein the primer layer is formed by using a solution containing the phosphoric ester having in the molecule thereof one or more polymerizable groups, and

the concentration of the phosphoric ester having in the molecule thereof one or more polymerizable groups in the solution is within the range from 0.05 to 20% by mass.

5. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein the primer layer is formed, further by using a polymerizable monomer or oligomer in combination.

6. The light control film according to claim 5 , wherein the polymerizable monomer or oligomer is an acrylate.

7. The light control film according to claim 5 , wherein the polymerizable monomer or oligomer is cured by heat or light.

8. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein a film thickness of the primer layer is 1 μm or less.

9. A light control film comprising:

two transparent electroconductive resin substrates; and

a light control layer sandwiched between the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates, the light control layer containing;

a resin matrix; and

a light control suspension dispersed in the resin matrix,

wherein the light control film has a primer layer on the light control layer side of at least one of the transparent electroconductive resin substrates, and the primer layer is formed by using a silane coupling agent having an amino group.

10. The light control film according to claim 9 , wherein the primer layer is formed by using a solution containing the silane coupling agent having an amino group, and

the concentration of silane coupling agent having an amino group in the solution is from 1 to 15% by mass.

11. The light control film according to claim 9 , wherein a film thickness of the primer layer is 1 μm or less.
