CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a U.S. national phase application of International Application No. PCT/CN2013/085854, filed on Oct. 24, 2013, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201310129691.0, filed on Apr. 12, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.


TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of optical films, and in particular, to a composite optical reflective film for a backlight source system and a preparation method thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology is one of the most commonly used display technologies at present, and has dominated a prevailing technical position in the flat panel display field for a certain period. Liquid crystal molecules itself are not luminous, and images or characters displayed thereby are the results of modulating the light sent by the backlight source, and the backlight source is an important component determining the display performance of the liquid crystal display, and the brightness of the backlight source directly determines the display brightness on an LCD surface.


A liquid crystal backlight source system is primarily comprised of a light source, a light guide plate, various kinds of optical diaphragms and structural members. Its development tends towards the diversification of size and light-weighting, and requirement of high brightness. Current types of backlight sources mainly contain electro luminescence (EL), cold cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL), light emitting diode (LED), etc., which are divided into a side-light type and an end backlight type according to different positions thereof. Along with the development of the LCD modules, the side-light type CCFL backlight source of high brightness and thin thickness becomes a main stream. But due to its significant large power consumption, it cannot meet the requirements of energy conservation and a portable information product. Therefore, how to improve the backlight source brightness to further increase the LCD brightness without increasing the power consumption has become one of the main challenges of the development.


The major optical diaphragm of the liquid crystal backlight system comprises a reflective film of which the effect is to reflect light emitted from the light source at high efficiency without losses to a light emitting direction of the backlight source thus to reduce light losses and reach objects of raising brightness of the backlight or decreasing power consumption, a diffusion film and a brightness enhancement film.


How to improve the optical property of the reflective film to increase the reflectivity, making the light emitted by the light source be utilized to the highest degree, thereby reducing loss, is the important problem to be solved now in the art. Moreover, in actual applications, it is also required that the reflective film be stable in the ultraviolet resistant performance upon prolonged use; and when the temperature gradient is higher, the dimension deformation difference of the reflective film is small, and does not affect its assembly and use.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to overcome defects of lower reflectivity and easy deformation of the existing optical reflective film, the present invention provides a composite optical reflective film and a preparation method thereof. The composite optical reflective film of this invention has good dimension stability, is not easy to warp and deform, has a higher reflectivity, has a simple preparation process, and is easy to operate.


In order to solve the abovementioned technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solution:


A composite optical reflective film, wherein the reflective film comprises a transparent diaphragm (or called a bottom transparent diaphragm, also known as a bottom diaphragm) and a reflective diaphragm having two sides, the reflective diaphragm is spliced on one side to the transparent diaphragm with an adhesive, and the other side of the reflective diaphragm is coated with a reflective coating; and the adhesive consists of a phenolic resin, an inorganic powder filler and a solvent. The adhesive forms an adhesive layer.


The thickness of the transparent diaphragm is 100-250 μm, and the thickness of the reflective diaphragm is 75-250 μm. Preferably, the thickness of the transparent diaphragm is 120-150 μm, 170-230 μm, 188 μm or 200 μm; and the thickness of the reflective diaphragm is 75-120 μm, 100-170 μm, 180-230 μm, 150 μm, 188 μm or 200 μm.


Furthermore, the reflective diaphragm is a white reflective diaphragm, and the reflective coating is an ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating. That is to say, the reflective coating has a higher reflectivity and an ultraviolet resistance function.


Furthermore, the material of the ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating comprises silane-crosslinked polyolefin, zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide, and the content of zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide is 50-70% (weight percentage).


Adding higher content of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide into the abovementioned ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating, can increase the reflective effect and improve the reflectivity. The weight ratio of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide is 2-4:1.


Furthermore, in the adhesive, the weight ratio of the phenolic resin, inorganic powder filler and solvent is 100:80-150:40-80.


The phenolic resin is preferably an thermosetting phenolic resin, further preferably a high ortho thermosetting phenolic resin; the inorganic powder filler (also called inorganic filler for short) is one of or a combination of at least two of zirconium powder, iron powder, carbon powder, boron powder, silicon powder, boron carbide and silicon carbide; the solvent is selected from ethyl acetate or ethanol. During the use, the adhesive (also called composite adhesive) can be prepared by adding the phenolic resin and the inorganic powder filler into the solvent and mixing them homogeneously at the room temperature. At the room temperature, the composite adhesive has higher bonding strength due to the polarity effect of the phenolic resin, and a stable structure which can keep the bonding strength thereof is formed in a high temperature environment because of the reaction between the inorganic filler and the phenolic resin. Therefore, the composite reflective film provided by the present invention can be resistant to high temperature. Due to effects of the adhesive and the dimensional stabilization of the bottom diaphragm, the reflective film is not easy to deform, so that a backlight module can also keep its dimension and stable mechanical performance in the temperature gradient environment.


The high ortho thermosetting phenolic resin can be prepared by the following method: reacting phenol with formaldehyde with the catalyst of the zinc oxide; and vacuum dehydrating them after the reaction is terminated, to provide the product when the gelling temperature of the system is 80° C., and the gelling time is 100-150 s; wherein the molar fraction ratio of the phenol, formaldehyde and zinc oxide may be 1:1.2-1.8:0.03-0.06.


Furthermore, the material of the white reflective diaphragm comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and 10-25% of nano-modified inorganic fillers are homogeneously dispersed in the material; and the material of the bottom transparent diaphragm is selected from polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).


The nano-modified inorganic filler comprises an inorganic particle, and an outer surface of the inorganic particle has a surface layer formed by the modified coating material. The inorganic particle is selected from one of or a combination of at least two of titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate and zinc oxide, the modified cladding material is silicon dioxide and/or aluminum oxide, the weight of the coating material is 0.5-1% of the inorganic particle, and the percentage is the weight percentage. The material of the bottom transparent diaphragm is preferably PET, which has good mechanical performance, an appropriate thickness, a low hot-shrinkage rate, and good dimension stability.


Furthermore, 0.3% of the hindered amine photostabilizer and 0.3% of the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent are added in the ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating, and the percentage is the weight percentage. Utilizing the cooperative effect of the above-mentioned photostabilizer and the ultraviolet absorber reaches a highly-efficient ultraviolet resistant effect.


Furthermore, the material of the bottom transparent diaphragm is selected from PET, PP or PC; the adhesive consists of high ortho thermosetting phenolic resin, inorganic powder filler and solvent to form a composite adhesive; the ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating is the compound of silane-crosslinked polyolefin, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide; and the hindered amine photostabilizer and the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbent are also added in the ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating.


Furthermore, the weight ratio of the high ortho thermosetting phenolic resin, inorganic powder filler and solvent in the composite adhesive is 100:80-150:40-80; the content of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in the ultraviolet-resistant highly reflective coating is 50-70% (weight percentage). Preferably, the weight ratio of the high ortho thermosetting phenolic resin, inorganic powder filler and solvent in the composite adhesive is 100:80:40, 100:100:50, 100:120:60, or 100:150:80.


Furthermore, the materials of the bottom transparent diaphragm and white reflective diaphragm are PET, nano-modified titanium dioxide or barium sulfate are homogeneously dispersed within the white reflective diaphragm, and a modified cladding material is silica and/or alumina.


A preparation method of the above-mentioned composite optical reflective film, includes the following steps:


(1) providing a polyester base material, white masterbatch and foaming masterbatch, after crystallization and drying, to an extruder for melt plastification, and then to produce a cast sheet by filtration, tape casting and cooling;


(2) longitudinally stretching and transversely stretching the cast sheet prepared in step (1), with a stretching ratio of 3-4;


(3) applying a corona treatment on a stretched sheet prepared in step (2) when stretching, and activating the surface of the sheet to increase surface wetting tension to obtain a reflective diaphragm; and

    • (4) cutting the reflective diaphragm prepared in step (3) into narrow reflective diaphragm, coating with an adhesive after unreeling, compositing with a bottom transparent diaphragm, coating a reflective coating on the other face of the reflective diaphragm, and drying by baking to obtain the composite optical reflective film.


The abovementioned polyester base material, white masterbatch, foaming masterbatch, and bottom transparent diaphragm can be bought in the market directly, can also be self-prepared according to demands; adding the foaming masterbatch in the reflective diaphragm can improve the reflectivity thereof, reduce the diaphragm density and reduce the cost simultaneously; and the reflective coating materials and adhesive can also be self-prepared according to the raw material ratio.

The preparation method of the reflective film is simple to process and easy to operate.
