Abstract

The present invention is directed to a polyimide film with a uniform orientation angle in the transverse direction of the film. A polyimide film characterized by the fact that the width of the fabricated film is ≧1.5 m, 2 points positioned inside by 200 mm from both ends of the width of the fabricated film are selected on a linear line in the vertical direction to the machine direction (MD) of the film, 1 point within center part ±200 mm, and 2 optional points are further selected on a linear line that includes said 2 points within the range of the linear line that connects said 2 points, and the orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±23° in at least all of these 8 points.

Claims (10)

1. A polyimide film obtained by biaxial drawing process in the machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) of the film and the MD drawing is a 2-step drawing; the film characterized by the fact that the width of the fabricated film is ≧1 m, 2 points positioned inside by 200 mm from both ends of the width of the fabricated film are selected on a linear line in the vertical direction to the machine direction (MD) of the film, 1 point within center part ±200 mm, and 2 optional points are further selected on a linear line that includes said 2 points within the range of the linear line that connects said 2 points, and the orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±23° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference in at least all of these 5 points.

2. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±12° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference.

3. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 wherein the width of the fabricated film is ≧1.5 m, 2 points positioned inside by 200 mm from both ends of the width of the fabricated film are selected on a linear line in the vertical direction to the machine direction (MD) of the film, 1 point within center part ±150 mm, and 5 optional points are further selected on a linear line that includes said 2 points within the range of the linear line that connects said 2 points, and the orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±23° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference in at least all of these 8 points.

4. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 3 , characterized by the fact that orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±12° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference.

5. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 3 , characterized by the fact that orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±12° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference.

6. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 wherein the width of the fabricated film is ≧2 m, 2 points positioned inside by 200 mm from both ends of the width of the fabricated film are selected on a linear line in vertical direction to the machine direction (MD) of the film, 1 point within center part ±100 mm, and 8 optional points are further selected on a linear line that includes said 2 points within the range of the linear line that connects said 2 points, and the orientation angle (θ) is within a range of 90°±23° with the machine direction (MD) as a reference in at least all of these 11 points.

7. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the drawing rate in the first step of the 2-step MD drawing process is ≧40% of the total MD drawing rate.

8. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the TD drawing rate is ≧1.10 and ≦1.50 of the total MD drawing rate.

9. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 , characterized by the fact that the polyimide film is manufactured from a polyamide acid composed from an aromatic diamine component wherein the mol ratio of 4,4′-diamino diphenyl ether and/or 3,4′-diamino diphenyl ether and paraphenylene diamine is 69/31-90/10, and an acid anhydride component wherein the mol ratio of pyromellitic acid dianhydride and 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is 80/20-60/40, or manufactured from a polyamide acid composed from an aromatic diamine component which is a paraphenylene diamine, and a 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride component and the mol ratio of the aromatic diamine component and the acid anhydride component is 40/60-60/40.

10. The polyimide film according to aforementioned claim 1 , characterized by the fact that microsilica wherein the grain size of all particles is ≧0.01 μm and ≦1.5 μm and the particles with grain size of ≧0.10 μm and ≦0.90 μm accounts for ≧80 vol % of all particles is evenly dispersed in the film at a ratio of ≧0.30 wt % and ≦0.80 wt % of the film resin weight.
