Abstract

The present invention relates to a film for blocking ultraviolet rays that has excellent light resistance, thus exhibiting stable UV blocking performance for a long time, and has a low haze value, and thus is suitable for protecting an organic light emitting device and the like from the external light source.

Claims (27)

1. A film for blocking ultraviolet rays, comprising in sequence:

a polymer base;

an undercoat layer comprising UV absorbing organic dyes and a photocurable binder resin; and

an overcoat layer comprising UV blocking inorganic particles and a photocurable binder resin,

wherein a first transmittance of the film after a light resistance test is 3 times or less of a second transmittance of the film before the light resistance test, the first and second transmittance measured at a 405 nm wavelength using a UV-VIS NIR spectrophotometer and the light resistance test being conducted by exposing the film under a UVA lamp at a temperature of 50° C., irradiance of 0.55 W/m 2 , and a wavelength of 290 to 400 nm, for 48 hours, and

wherein the overcoat layer comprises the UV blocking inorganic particles in an amount of 10 to 32.85 wt %, based on the total weight of the solid content of the overcoat layer.

2. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein a third transmittance of the film measured at 430 nm using the UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer before the light resistance test, is at least 60%.

3. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein a haze value of the film measured according to the JIS K 7136 method is 1.5 or less.

4. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the UV absorbing organic dye is one or more selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole-based compounds, triazine-based compounds, ester-based compounds, indole-based compounds, and pyrimidine-based compounds.

5. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the undercoat layer comprises UV absorbing organic dye in an amount of 1 to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the solid content of the undercoat layer.

6. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the UV blocking inorganic particles have a refractive index of 1.8 to 2.1.

7. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the UV blocking inorganic particles have an average particle diameter of 20 to 200 nm.

8. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the UV protecting inorganic particles are zinc oxide.

9. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the overcoat layer comprises the UV blocking inorganic particles in an amount of 20 to 32.85 wt %, based on the total weight of the solid content of the overcoat layer.

10. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the photocurable binder resin is one or more photopolymerizable compounds selected from the group of a reactive acrylate oligomers and a multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based monomer, wherein the reactive acrylate oligomer is one or more selected from the group consisting of a urethane acrylate oligomer, an epoxide acrylate oligomer, polyester acrylate, and polyether acrylate; and the multifunctional (meth)acrylate-based monomer is one or more selected from the group consisting of trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, and glycerine propoxylate triacrylate.

11. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the undercoat layer has a thickness of 1 to 10 μm.

12. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the overcoat layer has a thickness of 1 to 5 μm.

13. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the photocurable binder resin in the undercoat layer is different from the photocurable binder resin in the overcoat layer.

14. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the photocurable binder resin in the undercoat layer is selected from the group consisting of a urethane acrylate oligomer, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, and dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate.

15. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the photocurable binder resin in the overcoat layer is selected from the group consisting of pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, glycerine propoxylate triacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, and dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate.

16. The film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer base is selected from the group consisting of

triacetyl cellulose, a cycloolefin polymer, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, and polyethylene terephthalate.

17. A method for preparing the film for blocking ultraviolet rays according to claim 1 comprising the steps of

providing a polymer base

coating a photopolymerizable coating composition including a photocurable binder resin, a photopolymerization initiator and UV absorbing organic dyes on the polymer base and polymerizing the coated polymer base to obtain an undercoat layer, and

coating a photopolymerizable coating composition including a photocurable binder resin, a photopolymerization initiator, and UV blocking inorganic particles on the undercoat layer, and photopolymerizing the coated undercoat layer to obtain an overcoat layer.

18. An OLED device comprising the film for blocking ultraviolet rays of claim 1 .
