The present technology relates to a magnetic recording medium, a laminate, and a flexible device. Specifically, the present technology relates to a magnetic recording medium including a reinforcing layer, a laminate, and a flexible device.
In recent years, the amount of information has explosively increased due to spread of the Internet and big data analysis. It is desired to further increase the capacity of a recording medium for backing up and archiving such information as data. Among various storage systems, merits of a magnetic tape are being recognized once again recently as a low bit cost and green storage. Concerning an increase in density of the magnetic tape, the world record of 148 gigabits per square inch has been established recently, and the increase in density shows no sign of stopping.
In a magnetic tape housed in a cartridge in a state of being wound around a reel, a system such as a linear recording type linear-tape-open (LTO) for performing record and reproduction in a longitudinal direction of the tape using a fixed head in which a large number of magnetoresistive heads is disposed for high capacity has been put into practical use. In order to further increase the capacity, development of a magnetic powder of a coating type magnetic recording layer and development of a recording layer such as a sputtered magnetic layer are actively performed. This makes it possible to narrow a recording bit length and to improve a longitudinal recording density (generally linear recording density) of a tape.
Meanwhile, the magnetic tape uses a flexible film-shaped substrate, and therefore has a very wide recording track width as compared with a magnetic disk. Concerning the increase in density of the magnetic tape, if the track density in a tape width direction can be improved together with development of the above recording layer, the recording density is dramatically improved. In this case, a linear recording density does not change. Therefore, for example, reduction in an output due to a slight spacing between a magnetic recording layer and a head is suppressed. It is considered that development of technology for increasing the track density has a large advantage in development of a tape drive.
When a track density in a tape width direction is increased in a current magnetic tape, the size of the tape itself is changed due to fluctuation in a width direction during traveling of the tape and an environmental factor such as temperature or humidity. As a result, so-called off-track occurs, for example, the track is not present at a track position that should be originally read by a magnetic head, or a shifted track position is read. As the thickness of the tape decreases for higher density, a change in a tape width due to a tension factor further increases. Therefore, an influence of off-track may become significant, and tape traveling performance may become unstable.
Meanwhile, there has been proposed technology of reinforcing a substrate by disposing a reinforcing layer containing a metal, an alloy, or an oxide thereof on one surface or both surfaces of the substrate (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 6).
However, if a reinforcing layer is disposed on a substrate, so-called cupping in which the shape of a tape curves in a width direction increases. As a result, a spacing is generated between a magnetic head for writing and reading and a magnetic tape, and recording and reproducing characteristics are deteriorated. Therefore, a magnetic tape having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing cupping is desired.
Furthermore, as well as the magnetic tape, a flexible device or the like having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing curvature is desired.
Therefore, a first object of the present technology is to provide a magnetic recording medium having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing cupping.
Furthermore, a second object of the present technology is to provide a laminate having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing curvature, and a flexible device.
In order to solve the above problems, a first technique is a magnetic recording medium including an elongated substrate, and a reinforcing layer and a cupping suppressing layer disposed on one surface of the substrate.
A second technique is a magnetic recording medium including an elongated substrate, and a reinforcing layer and a carbon thin film disposed on one surface of the substrate.
A third technique is a laminate including a substrate, and a reinforcing layer and a cupping suppressing layer disposed on one surface of the substrate.
A fourth technique is a laminate including a substrate, and a reinforcing layer and a carbon thin film disposed on one surface of the substrate.
A fifth technique is a flexible device including the laminate according to the third or fourth technique.
As described above, according to present technology, it is possible to realize a magnetic recording medium having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing cupping. Furthermore, it is possible to realize a laminate having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing curvature.

(Recording Layer)
The recording layer 13 is, for example, a perpendicular recording layer capable of short wavelength recording or ultra-short wavelength super recording. The recording layer 13 is a magnetic layer having magnetic anisotropy in a thickness direction of the recording layer 13. In other words, an easily magnetizable axis of the recording layer 13 is oriented in a thickness direction of the recording layer 13. The recording layer 13 has an average thickness preferably of 30 nm or more and 100 nm or less, more preferably of 50 nm or more and 70 nm or less.
The recording layer 13 is, for example, a magnetic layer containing a magnetic powder and a binder. The recording layer 13 may further contain various additives such as conductive particles, a lubricant, an abrasive, a curing agent, and a rust inhibitor, if necessary.
The magnetic powder is, for example, a hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder or a cubic ferrite magnetic powder. The hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder is constituted by magnetic particles of an iron oxide having hexagonal ferrite as a main phase (hereinafter referred to as “hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles”). The hexagonal ferrite contains, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, Pb, and Ca. The hexagonal ferrite is preferably barium ferrite containing Ba. In addition to Ba, the barium ferrite may further contain at least one selected from the group consisting of Sr, Pb, and Ca.
More specifically, the hexagonal ferrite has an average composition represented by a general formula MFe12O19. However, M represents, for example, at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ba, Sr, Pb, and Ca. M preferably represents Ba. M may be a combination of Ba and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Sr, Pb, and Ca. In the above general formula, a part of Fe may be replaced with another metal element.
The hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles have an average particle diameter (average plate diameter) preferably of 32 nm or less, more preferably of 15 nm or more and 32 nm or less. The hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles have an average particle thickness preferably of 9 nm or less, more preferably of 7 nm or more and 9 nm or less. The hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles have an average aspect ratio (average particle diameter/average particle thickness) preferably of 3.9 or less, more preferably of 1.9 or more and 3.9 or less.
The cubic ferrite magnetic powder is constituted by magnetic particles of an iron oxide having cubic ferrite as a main phase (hereinafter referred to as “cubic ferrite magnetic particles”). The cubic ferrite contains at least one selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Mn, Al, Cu, and Zn. Preferably, the cubic ferrite contains at least Co, and further contains, in addition to Co, at least one selected from the group consisting of Ni, Mn, Al, Cu, and Zn. More specifically, for example, the cubic ferrite has an average composition represented by a general formula MFe2O4. However, M represents at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Mn, Al, Cu, and Zn. Preferably, M represents a combination of Co and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ni, Mn, Al, Cu, and Zn.
The cubic ferrite magnetic particles have an average plate diameter (average particle size) preferably of 14 nm or less, more preferably of 10 nm or more and 14 nm or less. The cubic ferrite magnetic particles preferably have an average plate ratio (average aspect ratio (average plate diameter LAM/average plate thickness LBM)) of 0.75 or more and 1.25 or less.
The binder is similar to that in the above-described base layer 12. The conductive particles, the lubricant, and the abrasive are also similar to those of the above-described base layer 12.
As nonmagnetic reinforcing particles, the recording layer 13 may further contain aluminum oxide (α, β, or γ alumina), chromium oxide, silicon oxide, diamond, garnet, emery, boron nitride, titanium carbide, silicon carbide, titanium carbide, titanium oxide (rutile type or anatase type titanium oxide), and the like.
(Reinforcing Layer)
The reinforcing layer 14 is for enhancing mechanical strength of the magnetic recording medium to obtain excellent dimensional stability. The reinforcing layer 14 contains, for example, at least one of a metal and a metal compound. Here, it is defined that the metal includes a semimetal. The metal is, for example, at least one of aluminum and copper, and preferably copper. This is because copper is inexpensive and has a relatively low vapor pressure, and therefore can form the reinforcing layer 14 at low cost. The metal may be, for example, at least one of aluminum, copper, silicon, and cobalt. The metal compound is, for example, a metal oxide. The metal oxide is, for example, at least one of aluminum oxide, copper oxide, and silicon oxide, and preferably copper oxide. This is because the reinforcing layer 14 can be formed at low cost by a vapor deposition method or the like. The metal oxide may be, for example, at least one of aluminum oxide, copper oxide, silicon oxide, and cobalt oxide. The reinforcing layer 14 may be, for example, a vapor-deposited film formed by a vacuum oblique vapor deposition method or a sputtered film formed by a sputtering method.
The reinforcing layer 14 preferably has a laminated structure of two or more layers. As the thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is increased, expansion and contraction of the substrate 11 against an external force can be further suppressed. However, in a case where the reinforcing layer 14 is formed using a vacuum thin film manufacturing technique such as a vapor deposition method or sputtering, as described above, as the thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is increased, a gap may be generated more easily in the reinforcing layer 14. By causing the reinforcing layer 14 to have a laminated structure of two or more layers as described above, when the reinforcing layer 14 is formed using the vacuum thin film manufacturing technique, a gap generated in the reinforcing layer 14 can be suppressed, and denseness of the reinforcing layer 14 can be improved. As a result, water vapor transmittance of the reinforcing layer 14 can be reduced. Therefore, expansion of the substrate 11 can be further suppressed, and dimensional stability of the magnetic recording medium can be further improved. In a case where the reinforcing layer 14 has a laminated structure of two or more layers, materials of the layers may be the same as or different from each other.
The reinforcing layer 14 preferably has an average thickness of 150 nm or more and 500 nm or less. When the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is 150 nm or more, a favorable function (that is, favorable dimensional stability of the magnetic recording medium) is obtained as the reinforcing layer 14. Meanwhile, even if the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is not larger than 500 nm, a sufficient function as the reinforcing layer 14 is obtained. Furthermore, if the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is more than 500 nm, in order to suppress occurrence of cupping, the average thickness of the cupping suppressing layer 15 needs to be large, and the total thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 may be too large.
The average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is determined as follows. First, the magnetic recording medium is cut perpendicularly to a main surface thereof, and a cross section thereof is observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
Measurement conditions of TEM are illustrated below.
Apparatus: TEM (H9000NAR, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.)
Acceleration voltage: 300 kV
Magnification: 100000 times
Next, the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is calculated from the observed TEM image. Specifically, a histogram is made using a SEM/TEM measuring software, Image Measuring Tool manufactured by the General Materials Science and Technology Promotion Foundation, and the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is calculated.
In a case where an average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 is 150 nm or more and 500 nm or less, a ratio (D2/D1) of an average thickness D2 of the cupping suppressing layer 15 to an average thickness D1 of the reinforcing layer 14 is preferably 0.05 or more and 0.7 or less. When the ratio (D2/D1) is 0.05 or more, the average thickness D2 of the cupping suppressing layer 15 is sufficiently large with respect to the average thickness D1 of the reinforcing layer 14. Therefore, an effect of suppressing cupping can be improved. Meanwhile, when the ratio (D2/D1) is 0.7 or less, the average thickness D2 of the cupping suppressing layer 15 is not too large with respect to the average thickness D1 of the reinforcing layer 14. Therefore, an effect of suppressing cupping can be improved.
(Cupping Suppressing Layer)
The cupping suppressing layer 15 is for suppressing cupping generated by forming the reinforcing layer 14 on the substrate 11. Here, cupping means curvature generated in a width direction of the elongated substrate 11. A tensile stress as an internal stress, that is, a stress to deform a back surface side of the substrate 11 into a recessed shape acts on the reinforcing layer 14. Meanwhile, a compressive stress as internal stress, that is, a stress to deform a back surface side of the substrate 11 into a protruding shape acts on the cupping suppressing layer 15. As a result, the internal stresses of the reinforcing layer 14 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 cancel out each other, and occurrence of cupping in the magnetic recording medium can be suppressed.
The cupping suppressing layer 15 is, for example a carbon thin film. The carbon thin film is preferably a hard carbon thin film containing diamond-like carbon (hereinafter referred to as “DLC”). The cupping suppressing layer 15 may be, for example, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) film formed by a CVD method or a sputtered film formed by a sputtering method.
The cupping suppressing layer 15 preferably has a laminated structure of two or more layers. This is because dimensional stability of the magnetic recording medium can be further improved. Note that the principle thereof is similar to the case where the reinforcing layer 14 has a laminated structure of two or more layers. In the case where the cupping suppressing layer 15 has a laminated structure of two or more layers, materials of the layers may be the same as or different from each other.
The cupping suppressing layer 15 preferably has an average thickness of 10 nm or more and 200 nm or less. When the average thickness of the cupping suppressing layer 15 is less than 10 nm, a compressive stress of the cupping suppressing layer 15 may be too small. Meanwhile, when the average thickness of the cupping suppressing layer 15 exceeds 200 nm, the compressive stress of the cupping suppressing layer 15 may be too large. Note that the average thickness of the cupping suppressing layer 15 can be determined in a similar manner to the above-described method for calculating the average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14.
(Back Layer)
The back layer 16 contains a binder, inorganic particles, and a lubricant. The back layer 16 may contain various additives such as a curing agent and an antistatic agent, if necessary. The binder, the inorganic particles, and the lubricant are similar to those of the base layer 12 described above.
[1.2 Method for Manufacturing Magnetic Recording Medium]
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the magnetic recording medium having the above-described configuration will be described.
(Step of Adjusting Coating Material)
First, by kneading and dispersing a nonmagnetic powder, a binder, and the like in a solvent, a base layer-forming coating material is prepared. Next, by kneading and dispersing a magnetic powder, a binder, and the like in a solvent, a recording layer-forming coating material is prepared. Next, by kneading and dispersing a binder, inorganic particles, a lubricant, and the like in a solvent, a back layer-forming coating material is prepared. For example, the following solvents, dispersing apparatuses, and kneading apparatuses can be applied to preparation of the base layer-forming coating material, the recording layer-forming coating material, and the back layer-forming coating material.
Examples of the solvent used for preparing the above-described coating material include ketone-based solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone, alcohol-based solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol, ester-based solvents such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, propyl acetate, ethyl lactate, and ethylene glycol acetate, ether-based solvents such as diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 2-ethoxyethanol, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane, aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvents such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, and halogenated hydrocarbon-based solvents such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and chlorobenzene. These solvents may be used singly, or may be used in a mixture thereof appropriately.
Examples of the kneading apparatus used for preparing the above-described coating material include a continuous twin-screw kneading machine, a continuous twin-screw kneading machine capable of performing dilution in multiple stages, a kneader, a pressure kneader, a roll kneader, and the like, but are not particularly limited to these apparatuses. Furthermore, examples of the dispersing apparatus used for preparing the above-described coating material include a roll mill, a ball mill, a horizontal sand mill, a vertical sand mill, a spike mill, a pin mill, a tower mill, a pearl mill (for example, “DCP mill” manufactured by Eirich Co., Ltd.), a homogenizer, and an ultrasonic wave dispersing machine, but are not particularly limited to these apparatuses.
(Step of Forming Reinforcing Layer)
Next, the reinforcing layer 14 is formed on the other surface of the substrate 11 using a roll-to-roll type vacuum film forming apparatus. The average thickness of the reinforcing layer 14 can be adjusted by changing film forming conditions such as a winding speed of the substrate 11, a flow rate of an introduced gas, and a discharge voltage. Examples of a vacuum film forming apparatus include a vapor deposition apparatus (for example, oblique vapor deposition apparatus), a sputtering apparatus, a CVD apparatus, and the like.
(Step of Forming Cupping Suppressing Layer)
Next, the cupping suppressing layer 15 is formed on the reinforcing layer 14 using a roll-to-roll type vacuum film forming apparatus. The average thickness of the cupping suppressing layer 15 can be adjusted by changing film forming conditions such as a winding speed of the substrate 11, a flow rate of an introduced gas, and a discharge voltage. Examples of a vacuum film forming apparatus include a vapor deposition apparatus, a sputtering apparatus, a CVD apparatus, and the like. In this way, the laminate 10 is obtained.
(Step of Forming Base Layer)
Next, by applying a base layer-forming coating material onto one surface of the substrate 11 and drying the base layer-forming coating material, the base layer 12 is formed on one surface of the substrate 11.
(Step of Forming Recording Layer)
Next, by applying a recording layer-forming coating material onto the base layer 12 and drying the recording layer-forming coating material, the recording layer 13 is formed on the base layer 12. Note that by causing magnetic field orientation of a magnetic powder contained in the coating material during drying, if necessary, an easily magnetizable axis of the magnetic powder may be oriented in a thickness direction of the recording layer 13.
(Step of Heat Treatment)
Next, if necessary, the substrate 11 on which the above layers are laminated may be subjected to a heat treatment to thermally shrink the substrate 11. By thermally shrink the substrate 11 in this way, cupping can be further suppressed. A temperature for the heat treatment is, for example, 80° C. or higher and 120° C. or lower. Retention time of the heat treatment is, for example, 3 hours or more and 72 hours or less.
(Step of Forming Back Layer)
Next, by applying a back layer-forming coating material onto the cupping suppressing layer 15 and drying the back layer-forming coating material, the back layer 16 is formed. As a result, a wide magnetic recording medium is obtained. Note that after the step of forming the recording layer 13 (or after the step of heat treatment) and before the step of forming the back layer 16, wettability of a surface of the cupping suppressing layer 15 is preferably improved by a surface modification treatment. This is because coatability of the back layer-forming coating material can be improved. Examples of the surface modification treatment include a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, a UV ozone treatment, an electron beam treatment, and the like.
(Step of Calendering Treatment and Cutting)
Next, the obtained wide magnetic recording medium is rewound around a large-diameter core and cured. Next, the wide magnetic recording medium is calendered and then cut into a predetermined width. As a result, a target magnetic recording medium is obtained. Note that the step of forming the back layer 16 may be performed after the calendering treatment.
[1.3 Effect]
The magnetic recording medium according to the first embodiment of present technology includes the reinforcing layer 14 disposed on the other surface of the substrate 11 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 disposed on the reinforcing layer 14. As a result, the internal stresses of the reinforcing layer 14 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 cancel out each other, and occurrence of cupping in the magnetic recording medium can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to provide a high SN magnetic recording medium with excellent off-track characteristics, capable of keeping a contact state between a magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium in a favorable state and having high dimensional stability in a track width direction.
[1.4 Modification Example]
Instead of including the reinforcing layer 14 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 on the other surface of the substrate 11 (a surface on the opposite side to the recording layer 13 side), as illustrated in
As illustrated in
The reinforcing layer 14 may include a first metal oxide layer, a second metal oxide layer, and a metal layer disposed between the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer. The first and second metal oxide layers each contain, for example, at least one of aluminum oxide, copper oxide, silicon oxide, and cobalt oxide, preferably copper oxide. The first and second metal oxide layers may contain the same type of metal oxide as or different types of metal oxides from each other. The metal layer contains, for example, at least one of aluminum, copper, silicon, and cobalt, preferably copper.
The reinforcing layer 14 may contain a metal and oxygen and may have a concentration distribution in which an oxygen concentration changes in a thickness direction thereof. The oxygen concentration on a surface on the opposite side to the substrate 11 side (that is, a surface on the cupping suppressing layer 15 side) out of both surfaces of the reinforcing layer 14 is higher than the oxygen concentration inside the reinforcing layer 14. Specifically, the oxygen concentration of the reinforcing layer 14 decreases from the opposite surface to the substrate 11 side toward the inside. In this case, the change in oxygen concentration may be continuous or discontinuous.
The oxygen concentration on a surface on the substrate 11 side out of both surfaces of the reinforcing layer 14 may be higher than the oxygen concentration inside the reinforcing layer 14. This is because in a case where the reinforcing layer 14 is formed using a vacuum thin film manufacturing technique such as a vapor deposition method or sputtering, depending on a material, a surface state, and the like of the substrate 11, as described above, the oxygen concentration on a surface on the substrate 11 side out of both surfaces of the reinforcing layer 14 may be higher than the oxygen concentration inside the reinforcing layer. Specifically, the oxygen concentration of the reinforcing layer 14 decreases from the surface on the base material 11 side toward the inside. In this case, the change in oxygen concentration may be continuous or discontinuous.
The metal contained in the reinforcing layer 14 is, for example, at least one of aluminum, copper, silicon, and cobalt, and preferably copper.
The reinforcing layer 14 having the above concentration distribution can be manufactured, for example, by changing an oxygen concentration contained in a process gas when the reinforcing layer 14 is formed using a vacuum thin film manufacturing technique such as a vapor deposition method or sputtering.
In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the magnetic recording medium is a perpendicular magnetic recording medium has been described as an example, but the magnetic recording medium may be a horizontal magnetic recording medium.
In the above-described first embodiment, the example in which the hexagonal ferrite magnetic powder or the cubic ferrite magnetic powder is used as the magnetic powder contained in the recording layer 13 has been described. However, the magnetic powder is not limited to this example, and a magnetic powder generally used in the perpendicular magnetic recording medium or the horizontal magnetic recording medium can be used. Specific examples of the magnetic powder include a Fe-based metal powder, a Fe—Co-based metal powder, iron carbide, iron oxide, and the like. Note that as an auxiliary element, a metal compound of Co, Ni, Cr, Mn, Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr, Zn, Ti, Mo, Ag, Cu, Na, K, Li, Al, Si, Ge, Ga, Y, Nd, La, Ce, Zr, or the like may coexist.
In the above-described first embodiment, the example in which the base layer 12 and the recording layer 13 are thin films manufactured by a coating step (wet process) has been described. However, the base layer 12 and the recording layer 13 may be thin films manufactured by a vacuum thin film manufacturing technique (dry process) such as sputtering.
In the above-described first embodiment, the configuration in which the reinforcing layer 14 is disposed on the other surface of the substrate 11 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 is disposed on the reinforcing layer 14 has been described as an example. However, the cupping suppressing layer 15 may be disposed on the other surface of the substrate 11, and the reinforcing layer 14 may be disposed on the reinforcing layer 14. However, in a case where a DLC layer is used as the cupping suppressing layer 15, it may be difficult to form the cupping suppressing layer 15 on the substrate 11 depending on a material of the substrate 11, and therefore the cupping suppressing layer 15 is preferably disposed on the reinforcing layer 14.
In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the magnetic recording medium includes the base layer and the back layer has been described as an example, but it may also be possible that the magnetic recording medium does not include at least one of the base layer and the back layer.
[2.1 Configuration of Display]
A display according to a second embodiment of the present technology is a flexible microcapsule electrophoretic type electronic paper, and as illustrated in
(Microcapsule Layer)
The microcapsule layer 130 includes a plurality of microcapsules 131. In each of the microcapsules 131, for example, a transparent liquid (dispersion medium) in which black particles and white particles are dispersed is enclosed.
(First and Second Conductive Elements)
The first conductive element 110 includes a laminate 111 and an electrode 112 disposed on one surface of the laminate 111. The second conductive element 120 includes a laminate 121 and an electrode 122 disposed on one surface of the laminate 121. The first and second conductive elements 110 and 120 are disposed so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance such that the electrodes 112 and 122 face each other.
The electrodes 112 and 122 are each formed in a predetermined electrode pattern shape according to a driving method of the display. Examples of the driving method include a simple matrix driving method, an active matrix driving method, a segment driving method, and the like.
As illustrated in
The substrate 111a has a film shape. Here, the film also includes a sheet. The substrate 111a preferably has a thickness of 10 μm or less. This is because the thickness of the substrate 111a of 10 μm or less makes an effect obtained by including the reinforcing layer 111b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c remarkable. For a material of the substrate 111a, for example, a polymer resin can be used. As the polymer resin, for example, at least one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polycarbonate (PC), an acrylic resin (PMMA), polyimide (PI), triacetylcellulose (TAC), polyester, polyamide (PA) aramid, polyethylene (PE), polyacrylate, polyether sulfone, polysulfone, polypropylene (PP), diacetyl cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, an epoxy resin, a urea resin, a urethane resin, a melamine resin, a cyclic olefin polymer (COP), and a norbornene-based thermoplastic resin can be used.
The reinforcing layer 111b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c are similar to the reinforcing layer 14 and the cupping suppressing layer 15 in the first embodiment, respectively.
The first conductive element 110 on a side on which the curvature suppressing layer 111c is disposed preferably has surface resistance of 0.4Ω/□ or less. Here, the surface resistance is a value measured by a four-terminal method.
The laminate 111 preferably has a humidity expansion coefficient of 0.5 ppm/% RH or more and 4 ppm/% RH or less. When the humidity expansion coefficient is within the above range, dimensional stability of the first conductive element 110 can be further improved.
The laminate 121 has a similar configuration to the laminate 111, and therefore description thereof will be omitted. However, as the substrate, the reinforcing layer, and the curvature suppressing layer included in the laminate 121, those having transparency to visible light are used.
[2.2 Effect]
The display according to the second embodiment includes the first and second conductive elements 110 and 120 disposed such that the electrodes 112 and 122 face each other. The first conductive element 110 includes the reinforcing layer 111b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c on the other surface of the substrate 111a. Therefore, the internal stresses of the reinforcing layer 11b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c cancel out each other, and occurrence of curvature in the first conductive element can be suppressed. As a result, the first conductive element 110 having excellent dimensional stability and capable of suppressing curvature is obtained. In other words, shape stability of the first conductive element 110 can be improved. The second conductive element 120 also has a similar configuration to the first conductive element 110, and therefore shape stability of the second conductive element 120 can also be improved. As a result, even in a case where the electrodes 112 and 122 are highly integrated, deterioration of overlapping accuracy between patterns of the electrodes 112 and 122 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a high-quality display.
[2.3 Modification Example]
In the above-described second embodiment, the example in which the present technology is applied to the display and the first and second conductive elements 110 and 120 included in the display has been described, but the present technology is not limited thereto. The present technology is also applicable, for example, to an electromagnetic shield, a touch panel, and various wearable devices. In a case where the present technology is applied to a touch panel or a wearable device, for example, deterioration of overlapping accuracy between highly integrated electrode patterns or between wiring patterns can be suppressed.
In the above-described second embodiment, the example in which the present technology is applied to the flexible device (flexible display) has been described, but the present technology can also be applied to a non-flexible device.
Instead of including the reinforcing layer 111b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c on the other surface of the substrate 111a (a surface on the opposite side to the electrode 112 side), the laminate 111 may include the reinforcing layer 111b and the curvature suppressing layer 111c on one surface of the substrate 111a (a surface on the electrode 112 side). In this case, an insulating layer is disposed between the curvature suppressing layer 111c and the electrode 112. The laminate 121 may have a similar configuration to the laminate 111.
The laminate 111 may include the reinforcing layers 14 on both surfaces of the substrate 11. In this case, the curvature suppressing layer 111c is disposed on a side of one of the reinforcing layers 111b disposed on both surfaces, having a larger internal stress. The laminate 121 may have a similar configuration to the laminate 111.
Hereinafter, the present technology will be specifically described with reference to Examples, but the present technology is not limited only to these Examples.
Note that in the following Examples and Comparative Examples, an average thickness of each of a reinforcing layer and a cupping suppressing layer was determined in a similar manner to the method described in the first embodiment.
