发明名称 Optical compensation films based on stretched polymer films
摘要 The present invention provides uniaxially stretched polymer films that have a refractive index profile suitable for use as negative A-plates or biaxial birefringent plates in a liquid crystal display (LCD) device. These wave plates can be used to compensate for the phase retardations existing in various modes of LCDs including TN (twisted nematic), VA (vertically aligned), IPS (in-plane switching), and OCB (optically compensated bend), and therefore improving the viewing quality of the displays.

主权项 1. A uniaxially stretched polymer film having a refractive index profile of nx<ny≦nz, which satisfies the relation of ny−nx>0.001, wherein nx is the in-plane refractive index parallel to the film stretching direction, ny is the in-plane refractive index perpendicular to nx, and nz is the thickness refractive index, where the stretched polymer film is prepared by stretching an unstretched polymer film made from a polymer capable of being solution cast into a positive C plate with a refractive index profile of nx=ny<nz and the relation of nz−(nx+ny)/2>0.002, wherein the unstretched polymer film is prepared by solution casting a polymer solution comprising a polymer having a moiety of wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each independently hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups, substituted alkyl groups, or halogens, wherein OASU is an optically anisotropic sub-unit that is a substituted aromatic group, a disk-like group, or a mesogen, and wherein OASU is attached to the polymer backbone through a single covalent bond.
