Abstract

According to the present invention, there is provide a coated film capable of exhibiting an excellent adhesion property to a prism resin used in optical applications such as a backlight unit for liquid crystal displays, etc., in particular, a prism resin adaptable for high-brightness prisms, i.e., a high-refractive index prism resin. The coating film of the present invention comprises a polyester film and a coating layer formed on at least one surface of the polyester film which is prepared from a coating solution comprising a (meth)acrylate (A) and at least one crosslinking agent (B) selected from the group consisting of an oxazoline compound, an isocyanate-based compound and a melamine compound.

Claims

1. A coated film comprising a polyester film and a coating layer formed on at least one surface of the polyester film which is prepared from a coating solution comprising a (meth)acrylate (A) and at least one crosslinking agent (B) selected from the group consisting of an oxazoline compound, an isocyanate-based compound and a melamine compound.

2. The coated film according to claim 1, wherein a content of a carbon-carbon double bond in the (meth)acrylate (A) is not less than 3% by weight.

3. The coated film according to claim 1, wherein the (meth)acrylate (A) is a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate.

4. The coated film according to claim 1, wherein a content of the (meth)acrylate (A) in the coating solution is 5 to 95% by weight, and a content of the crosslinking agent (B) in the coating solution is 5 to 95% by weight, both based on a total amount of whole non-volatile components in the coating solution.

5. The coated film according to claim 1, wherein the coating solution further comprises particles having an average particle diameter of not more than 1.0 μ

m, and a content of the particles in the coating solution is not more than 25% by weight based on a total amount of whole non-volatile components in the coating solution.

6. The coated film according to claim 1, which is used for forming a surface functional layer from a solvent-free active energy ray-curable resin on a surface of the coating layer.
