Abstract

The embodiments relate to a polyamide-based composite film that has excellent curl characteristics, mechanical properties, and optical properties, as well as, in particular, is effective in preventing reflection in the visible light region, remarkably reduces the rainbow phenomenon, and achieves a texture similar to that of glass, and a display device comprising the same. There are provided a polyamide-based composite film, which comprises a base film comprising a polyamide-based polymer; and a functional layer disposed on the base film, wherein the in-plane retardation (Re) measured with light having a wavelength of 550 nm is 100 nm to 220 nm, and a display device comprising the same.

Claims (20)

1. A polyamide-based composite film, which comprises a base film comprising a polyamide-based polymer; and a functional layer disposed on the base film, and which has an in-plane retardation (Re) of 100 nm to 220 nm as measured with light having a wavelength of 550 nm,

wherein the polyamide-based composite film has a refractive index of 1.48 to 1.54.

2. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , which has an Sa roughness (arithmetical mean height) of 0.005 μm to 0.08 μm in three-dimensional surface roughness parameters.

3. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , which, in three-dimensional surface roughness parameters, has an Sp roughness (maximum peak height) of 0.05 μm to 1.6 μm, an Sv roughness (maximum pit depth) of 0.04 μm to 1.5 μm, and an Sz roughness (maximum height) of 0.09 μm to 3.1 μm.

4. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the surface hardness of one side of the functional layer positioned opposite to the side on which the base film is disposed is 5H or higher.

5. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the base film has a surface roughness (Ra) of 0.005 μm to 0.050 μm.

6. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the base film has a refractive index of 1.620 to 1.650.

7. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the base film has a developed interfacial area ratio (Sdr) of 0.0005% to 0.0050%.

8. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the base film further comprises a matting agent, and the content of the matting agent is 100 to 3,000 ppm based on the total weight of the polyamide-based polymer.

9. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 8 , wherein the matting agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(butyl methacrylate) (PBMA), polystyrene (PS), melamine, silicone, barium sulfate, and glass.

10. The polyamide-based composite film of claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-based polymer comprises a repeat unit represented by the following Formula A and a repeat unit represented by the following Formula B at a molar ratio of 0:100 to 50:50:

in Formulae A and B, E and J are each independently selected from a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C 6 -C 30 aliphatic cyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C 4 -C 30 heteroaliphatic cyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C 6 -C 30 aromatic cyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted divalent C 4 -C 30 heteroaromatic cyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 30 alkylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 2 -C 30 alkenylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 2 -C 30 alkynylene group, —O—, —S—, —C(═O)—, —CH(OH)—, —S(═O) 2 —, —Si(CH 3 ) 2 —, —C(CH 3 ) 2 —, and —C(CF 3 ) 2 —,
