Abstract

Example embodiments relates to a film having excellent mechanical properties with excellent optical properties such as refractive index, haze, yellow index, and the like, light transmitting laminate, use as a cover film, a multi-layered electronic device, and the like comprising the same. The film comprises an elastic layer, the elastic layer has a refractive index of 1.48 to 1.58, a low temperature damage index is a difference of a tensile modulus and a tensile strength at a certain temperature, and the elastic layer has a low temperature index of 1,300 MPa or less.

Claims (34)

1. A film for display device comprising:

an elastic layer substantially consisting of PEBA as a resin,

wherein the elastic layer has a refractive index of 1.48 to 1.58,

wherein a low temperature damage index is a difference of a tensile elastic modulus and a tensile strength at a certain temperature, and the elastic layer has the low temperature damage index of 300 MPa or more and 1,300 MPa or less at −40° C.,

wherein the elastic layer has a tensile elastic modulus of 1,200 MPa or less at −10° C., and

wherein the elastic layer has an in-plane retardation Re of 300 nm or less and a haze of 1.2% or less.

2. The film for display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the elastic layer has a storage modulus of 1,500 MPa or less at −40° C.

3. The film for display device of claim 1 ,

wherein a roughness reference value of the film is a larger value between Ra1 as a surface roughness Ra value of one side and Ra2 as a surface roughness Ra value of other side, and

the elastic layer has the roughness reference value of 0.5 μm or less.

4. The film for display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the elastic layer has a thickness direction retardation Rth of 3,000 nm or less and a transmittance of visible light of 85% or more.

5. The film for display device of claim 1 ,

wherein the elastic layer has an elongation of 200% or more at 20° C.

6. A light transmitting laminate comprising a film according to claim 1 .

7. A cover film comprising a film according to claim 1 .

8. The cover film of claim 7 , further comprising:

a glass layer disposed on one side or the other side of the elastic layer,

wherein the glass layer is a tempered glass having a thickness of 200 μm or less.

9. A multi-layered electronic device comprising:

a light emitting functional layer and a film,

wherein the light emitting functional layer has a display area which emits or does not emit light depending on external signals,

the film is according to claim 1 , and

the film is disposed on an upper side or a rear side of the display area.

10. A multi-layered electronic device comprising:

a light emitting functional layer and a film,

wherein the light emitting functional layer has a display area which emits or does not emit light depending on external signals,

the film is according to claim 1 , and

the film is disposed on one side of the light emitting functional layer and covering at least some of the display area.

11. A method of manufacturing a film comprising:

an operating of forming an elastic sheet from a polymer resin comprising an amide or the residue thereof as a repeating unit; and

an operating of letting a first assembly having the elastic sheet disposed on a carrier film pass between rollers to prepare a second assembly comprising the elastic layer disposed on the carrier film; and

thereby manufacturing a film according to claim 1 .
