Abstract

The present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition for a light guide plate and an optical molded article using the same. The polycarbonate resin composition according to the present invention is excellent in transmittance and color tone uniformity required as the light guide plate, and also is excellent in processability and thus can be usefully used as a material of the light guide plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

0.01 to 0.1 parts by weight of a vinyl-based polymer including a (meth)acrylate repeating unit containing an epoxy functional group:

in the above formulas 1 and 2,
n and in are each independently an integer of 1 or more, and
n+m is 7 to 70.

2. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the polycarbonate has a weight average molecular weight of 14,000 to 50,000 g/mol.

3. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the polycarbonate includes a repeating unit represented by the following chemical formula 3:

in the above formula 3,
a is an integer of 1 or more.

4. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the block copolymer is a block copolymer in the form of PEO-PPO-PEO or PPO-PEO-PPO.

5. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the block copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 g/mol.

6. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the epoxy functional group is bonded to the end of the branched chain of the (meth)acrylate repeating unit.

7. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the (meth)acrylate repeating unit containing an epoxy functional group includes a repeating unit represented by the following chemical formula 11:

in the above formula 11,
R 1 to R 3 are each independently hydrogen or C 1-10 alkyl, R 4 is C 1-10 alkylene, and x is an integer of 1 to 20.

8. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the vinyl-based polymer further includes an aromatic vinyl-based repeating unit or a (meth)acrylic-based repeating unit.

9. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 8 ,
wherein the aromatic vinyl-based repeating unit includes a repeating unit represented by the following chemical formula 12:

in the above formula 12,
R 5 to R 8 are each independently hydrogen or C 1-10 alkyl, and y is an integer of 1 to 20.

10. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 8 ,
wherein the (meth)acrylic-based repeating unit includes a repeating unit represented by the following chemical formula 13:

in the above formula 13,
R 11 to R 14 are each independently hydrogen or C 1-10 alkyl, and z is an integer of 1 to 20.

11. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the vinyl-based polymer including a (meth)acrylate repeating unit containing an epoxy functional group has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000 g/mol.

12. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the vinyl-based polymer including a (meth)acrylate repeating unit containing an epoxy functional group has an epoxy equivalent weight of 100 to 500 g/mol.

13. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
further including 0.02 to 1 pail by weight of polyoxytetramethylene glycol.

14. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 1 ,
wherein the resin composition further includes one or more additives selected from the group consisting of an antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, a plasticizer, an antistatic agent, a nucleating agent, a flame retardant, a lubricant, an impact modifier, a fluorescent whitening agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a hydrolysis-resistant agent and a chain-linking agent.

15. A polycarbonate resin composition comprising:
100 parts by weight of a polycarbonate;
0.02 to 1 part by weight of a block copolymer containing a polyethylene oxide (PEO) block represented by the following chemical formula 1 and a polypropylene oxide (PPO) block represented by the following chemical formula 2; and
0.01 to 5 parts by weight of a transmittance improving agent having an epoxy functional group,
wherein a transmittance of long-wavelength light measured for a test specimen having a thickness of 4 mm is 80% or more:

in the above formulas 1 and 2,
n and m are each independently an integer of 1 or more, and
n+m is 7 to 70.

16. The polycarbonate resin composition of claim 15 ,
