Abstract

The present disclosure provides an optical laminate including a polymer substrate and an antiglare layer, wherein rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm exist within 50% of the thickness of the antiglare layer from the interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer, a polarizing plate including the optical laminate, and a liquid crystal display and a display device including the polarizing plate.

Claims (40)

1. An optical laminate comprising: a polymer substrate containing a polymer resin and rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm dispersed in the polymer resin; and

an antiglare layer containing a binder resin, and organic fine particles or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin,

wherein the organic fine particles have a cross-sectional diameter of 1 to 50 μm, and the inorganic fine particles have a cross-sectional diameter of 1 to 500 nm,

wherein an interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer allows the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm that are contained in the polymer substrate to migrate into the antiglare layer,

wherein the migrated rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm exist within 50% of the thickness of the antiglare layer from the interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer,

wherein the organic fine particles or the inorganic fine particles contained in the antiglare layer aggregate to form protrusions having a diameter of at least 100 μm and a ratio of the number of the protrusions formed on an outer surface of the antiglare layer is 50/m 2 or less,

wherein a ratio of the area of a region where the protrusions are located on the surface of the antiglare layer as defined by general formula 1 is 0.5 area % or less:

Ratio of the area of a region where the protrusions are located on a surface of the antiglare layer=(the number of protrusions*the area of a circle having a diameter of 5 mm)/the area of the surface of the antiglare layer (mm 2 ),  [General Formula 1]

wherein the “circle having a diameter of 5 mm” in the general formula 1 is defined as the region where the protrusions are located, and

wherein the optical laminate has a total haze of 0.1% or more and 3.0% or less, according to JIS K 7105 standard.

2. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm exist within 30% of the thickness of the antiglare layer from the interface between the polymer substrate and the antiglare layer.

3. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the polymer resin includes at least one resin selected from a (meth)acrylate resin, a cellulose resin, a polyolefin resin, and a polyester resin.

4. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the rubber particles having a cross-sectional diameter of 10 to 500 nm contained in the polymer substrate are rubber particles of the same components.

5. The optical laminate of claim 4 , wherein

the rubber particles include at least one rubber selected from styrene-butadiene-based rubber and acrylic-based rubber.

6. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the rubber particles include at least one rubber selected from styrene-butadiene-based rubber and acrylic-based rubber.

7. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the polymer substrate has a thickness of 10 to 150 μm, and

the antiglare layer has a thickness of 1 to 10 μm.

8. The optical laminate of claim 7 , wherein

a ratio of the thickness of the antiglare layer to the thickness of the polymer substrate is 0.008 to 0.8.

9. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

a ratio of a thickness of the antiglare layer to a thickness of the polymer substrate is 0.008 to 0.8.

10. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the polymer substrate includes 5 to 50 parts by weight of the rubber particles relative to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin.

11. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the organic fine particles contained in the antiglare layer have a cross-sectional diameter of 1 to 10 μm, and

the inorganic fine particles contained in the antiglare layer have a cross-sectional diameter of 1 nm to 300 nm.

12. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

a moisture permeation amount of the polymer substrate measured for 24 hours at 40° C. and 100% humidity is 150 g/m 2 or less.

13. The optical laminate of claim 1 , wherein

the diameter of the protrusions is 100 μm to 300 μm.

14. The optical laminate of claim 13 , wherein

the ratio of the area of a region where the protrusions are located on the surface of the antiglare layer as defined by the general formula 1 is 0.3 area % or less.

15. A polarizing plate comprising the optical laminate of claim 1 .

16. A display device comprising the polarizing plate of claim 15 .
