[ composite front Panel ]
< constitution >
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of a composite front panel according to the present invention. The composite front panel 100 shown in fig. 1 includes a 1 st resin layer 10 and a colored layer 20 provided locally. The composite front panel 100 has a display region a and a non-display region B, and the colored layer 20 is provided in a region corresponding to the non-display region B.
The viewing-side surface 100a of the composite front panel 100 is a plane constituted by the viewing-side surface 10a of the 1 st resin layer 10. The display-side surface 100b of the composite front panel 100 is a plane constituted by the display-side surface 10b of the resin layer 10 and the display-side surface 20b of the colored layer 20.
The composite front panel 100 may be a front panel having a function of protecting the front surface of the image display device, and also having a function as a touch sensor, a blue light blocking function, a viewing angle adjusting function, and the like.
The thickness of the composite front panel 100 is, for example, 20 μm or more and 1000 μm or less, preferably 30 μm or more and 500 μm or less, and preferably 30 μm or more and 100 μm or less. The thickness of the colored layer 20 is, for example, 80% or less, 60% or less, or 50% or less of the thickness of the composite front panel 100.
In the composite front panel 100, when the thickness of the 1 st resin layer 10 is a (μm) and the thickness of the colored layer 20 is b (μm), the thickness ratio T1 (%) calculated by the following expression (1) preferably satisfies the relationship of the following expression (2 a). The thickness of the 1 st resin layer 10 refers to the thickness of the thickest part of the 1 st resin layer 10, and thus coincides with the thickness of the composite front panel 100.
T1=b/a×100 (1)
5≤T1≤42 (2a)
If the thickness ratio T1 exceeds 42%, it may be difficult to maintain the flatness of the viewing-side surface of the composite front panel 100, and a concave step may occur in the display region a on the viewing-side surface. If the thickness ratio T1 is less than 5%, it may be difficult to obtain a sufficient optical density. The thickness ratio T1 preferably satisfies the relationship of the following expression (2 b).
7.5≤T1≤30 (2b)
Although the composite front panel 100 includes the colored layer 20 exposed on the display side surface 100b, the display side surface 100b is formed in a flat surface, and therefore, damage to the colored layer 20 can be suppressed. Further, by making the display-side surface 100b flat, it is possible to suppress the mixing of air bubbles generated by a difference in level between the colored layer and the resin layer when bonding with another layer.
< production method >
Fig. 2(a) to (d) are schematic sectional views showing an example of a method for manufacturing the composite front panel 100. First, a base film 110 is prepared (fig. 2a), and a colored layer 20 is formed in a local region on the base film 110 (fig. 2 b). Next, a resin layer forming composition is applied so as to cover the viewing side surface 20a of the color layer 20, and the resin layer forming composition is dried or cured, thereby forming a resin layer 10 (fig. 2 (c)). Next, the base film 110 is peeled off to expose the display-side surface 20b of the colored layer 20 and the display-side surface 10b of the resin layer 10, thereby obtaining a composite front sheet 100' (fig. 2 (d)). Next, the composite front panel sheet 100' is cut as necessary, and unnecessary portions are cut away to obtain the composite front panel 100.
The base film 110 is not particularly limited as long as it is not deformed during the formation of the colored layer 20 and the resin layer 10 and can be separated from the composite front sheet 100'. As a material for forming the base film 110, for example, a thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture blocking property, isotropy, stretchability, and the like can be used.
Examples of such thermoplastic resins include polyolefin resins such as chain polyolefin resins and cyclic polyolefin resins (norbornene resins), polyester resins, (meth) acrylic resins, cellulose ester resins such as cellulose triacetate and cellulose diacetate, polycarbonate resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, polyvinyl acetate resins, polyarylate resins, polystyrene resins, polyether sulfone resins, polysulfone resins, polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and mixtures thereof. In addition, a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing monomers of the above resin may be used as a material for forming the base film. Among these, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene and polyester resins such as amorphous polyethylene terephthalate are preferable.
The thickness of the base film 110 is preferably 1 to 500. mu.m, more preferably 1 to 300. mu.m, still more preferably 5 to 200. mu.m, and particularly preferably 5 to 150. mu.m, from the viewpoint of strength and handling properties.
(colored layer)
The shape and color of the colored layer 20 are not limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the application and design. Examples of the colored layer 20 include a layer colored in black, red, white, navy blue, silver, gold, or the like. The colored layer 20 may be formed of a single layer or a plurality of layers. When the colored layer 20 is formed of a plurality of layers, one color or a plurality of colors may be used as the color of the colored layer 20.
When the colored layer 20 is an organic layer containing a binder resin or the like, the thickness is likely to be thicker than that of an inorganic layer containing a metal layer in order to achieve a certain optical density. When the coloring layer is thick, a level difference is easily generated on the viewing-side surface of the resin layer. According to one embodiment of the present invention, even when the colored layer is formed of an organic layer, the height difference can be reduced by controlling the thickness ratio.
The colored layer 20 can be formed on the base film by a printing method using ink or paint, a vapor deposition method using powder of a metallic pigment, a method of forming a colored layer 20 containing a metallic pigment in advance and bonding the same, or the like. In addition, these methods may be combined. Specific examples of the printing method include gravure printing, offset printing, screen printing, and transfer printing from a transfer sheet. Printing by a printing method may be repeated to obtain a colored layer 20 having a desired thickness. The ink or paint for forming the colored layer 20 contains, for example, a binder resin, a colorant, a solvent, and an optional additive.
Examples of the binder resin include chlorinated polyolefins (e.g., chlorinated polyethylene and chlorinated polypropylene), polyester resins, urethane resins, acrylic resins, vinyl acetate resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, and cellulose resins. The binder resin may be used alone, or 2 or more kinds may be used in combination. The binder resin may be a thermally polymerizable resin or a photopolymerizable resin. When the colored layer contains a binder resin, the colored layer 20 can contribute to improvement in adhesion to the resin layer 10.
The colorant may be appropriately selected depending on the desired coloring. Examples of the colorant include inorganic pigments such as titanium white, zinc oxide, carbon black, iron black, red iron oxide, molybdenum chrome red (chrome), ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, chrome yellow, and titanium yellow; organic pigments or dyes such as phthalocyanine blue, indanthrene blue (indhrome blue), isoindolinone yellow, benzidine yellow, quinacridone red, polyazo red (polyazoled), pyrene red, aniline black, and the like; metallic pigments made of scaly foils of aluminum, brass, and the like; a pearl lustre pigment (pearl pigment) formed of a scaly foil such as mica or basic lead carbonate coated with titanium dioxide. The colorant is preferably contained in an amount of 50 to 200 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the binder resin.
The thickness of the colored layer 20 is not particularly limited as long as it is not exposed on the viewing-side surface 100a of the composite front panel 100. From the viewpoint of enhancing the shielding effect of the colored layer 20, the thickness is preferably 1 μm to 50 μm, more preferably 3 μm to 30 μm, and may be 3 μm to 20 μm. When the colored layer 20 is black, a higher shading effect can be obtained than other colors even if the colored layer is thin.
The colored layer 20 preferably has an optical density of 2.0 or more, and more preferably 2.5 or more, as measured by the method described in the examples described later.
The viewing side surface 20a of the colored layer 20 is not limited to the shape substantially parallel to the display side surface 20b as shown in fig. 1. In order to provide design, the inclined surface or the serrated surface may be formed. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the bondability to the resin layer 10, the surface may be roughened.
The colored layer is preferably a layer that does not dissolve or swell due to the solvent contained in the resin layer-forming composition.
When the colored layer 20 is provided on the peripheral edge portion of the composite front panel 100, the colored layer is not limited to the embodiment of being provided on the entire periphery of the peripheral edge portion, and may be provided only on a part of the peripheral edge portion depending on a desired design or the like. The width of the colored layer 20 can be appropriately determined depending on the size of the display area, desired design, and the like, and can be, for example, in the range of 1mm to 20 mm.
(1 st resin layer)
The polymer material contained in the 1 st resin layer 10 is not particularly limited as long as it transmits light. For example, the resin composition may contain 1 or 2 or more kinds of polymer materials alone among polymer materials such as triacetylcellulose, acetylcellulose butyrate (acetylcellulose butyrate), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, propionylcellulose, butyrylcellulose, acetylpropionylcellulose, polyester, polystyrene, polyamide, polyetherimide, polyacrylic polymer (polyacrylic), polyimide, polyethersulfone, polysulfone, polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylacetal, polyetherketone, polyetheretherketone, polyethersulfone, polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, polyamideimide, and the like. Among them, a resin layer containing a polymer material such as polyimide, polyamide, polyamideimide or the like, which can constitute a resin layer having excellent flexibility and high strength and high transparency, is preferable.
The resin layer-forming composition contains a precursor of a polymer material or a polymer material, and a solvent capable of dissolving or dispersing the precursor or the polymer material. The solvent is preferably selected so as not to swell or dissolve the colored layer. From such a viewpoint, examples of the solvent include N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), γ -butyrolactone (GBL), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), ethyl acetate, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), tetrahydrofuran, 1, 4-dioxane, acetone, cyclopentanone, dimethyl sulfoxide, xylene, and a combination thereof. The resin layer-forming composition may contain additives known in the art, such as a polymerization initiator, a polymerization initiation aid, a leveling agent, an antioxidant, and a light stabilizer, as necessary.
The coating method of the resin-forming composition can be performed by a conventionally known coating method. Examples of the conventionally known coating method include a roll coating method such as a wire bar coating method, a reverse coating method, and a gravure coating method, a die coating method, a comma coating method, a lip coating method, a screen coating method, a fountain coating method, a dip coating method, and a spray coating method.

The hard coat layer is a cured layer of, for example, an ultraviolet curable resin. Examples of the ultraviolet curable resin include acrylic resins, silicone resins, polyester resins, urethane resins, amide resins, and epoxy resins.

The protective film may or may not have a phase difference.
(laminating layer)
The laminating layer 50 is a layer which is laminated between the composite front panel 100 and the 3 rd resin layer, and is an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer, and an adhesive layer can be preferably used.
Since the colored layer 20 is contained in the composite front panel 100, the adhesive layer 50 does not need to absorb the thickness of the colored layer 20, and can be made thin. The thickness of the adhesive layer is, for example, 2 to 100. mu.m, 2 to 25 μm, or 2 to 20 μm.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing a resin such as a (meth) acrylic, rubber, urethane, ester, silicone, or polyvinyl ether resin as a main component. Among them, a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition containing a (meth) acrylic resin excellent in transparency, weather resistance, heat resistance and the like as a base polymer is preferable. The adhesive composition may be an active energy ray-curable type or a thermosetting type.

The adhesive composition may comprise only the above-mentioned base polymer, but usually also contains a crosslinking agent. Examples of the crosslinking agent include a crosslinking agent which is a metal ion having a valence of 2 or more and forms a metal carboxylate salt with a carboxyl group; a crosslinking agent which is a polyamine compound and forms an amide bond with a carboxyl group; a crosslinking agent as a polyepoxy compound, a polyol, forming an ester bond between them and a carboxyl group; a crosslinking agent which is a polyisocyanate compound and forms an amide bond between the polyisocyanate compound and a carboxyl group. Among them, polyisocyanate compounds are preferable.
The active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having a property of being cured by irradiation with an active energy ray such as an ultraviolet ray or an electron ray, and having a property of being capable of adhering to an adherend such as a film by having an adhesive property even before irradiation with an active energy ray, and being cured by irradiation with an active energy ray to adjust the adhesion force. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is preferably an ultraviolet-curable adhesive composition. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition contains an active energy ray-polymerizable compound in addition to a base polymer and a crosslinking agent. Further, a photopolymerization initiator, a photosensitizer and the like may be contained as necessary.

The adhesive composition can be formed by applying a diluted solution of the above adhesive composition in an organic solvent to a substrate and drying the applied solution. In the case of using an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a cured product having a desired degree of curing can be obtained by irradiating the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer thus formed with active energy rays.

Examples of the polarizing plate include a stretched film in which a dye having absorption anisotropy is adsorbed, a film including a polarizer obtained by coating and curing a dye having absorption anisotropy, and the like. Examples of the dye having absorption anisotropy include dichroic dyes. As the dichroic dye, specifically, iodine or a dichroic organic dye can be used. The dichroic organic dye includes a dichroic direct dye formed of a disazo compound such as c.i. direct red (DIRECT RED)39, and a dichroic direct dye formed of a compound such as a trisazo compound or a tetrazo compound.

A film obtained by applying and curing a dye having absorption anisotropy is preferable to a stretched film having an absorbed dye having absorption anisotropy because there is no limitation in the bending direction.
The polarizing plate may include a retardation film and a brightness enhancement film depending on the kind of the image display device. When applied to an organic EL display device, the polarizing plate may be a circular polarizing plate having a film formed of a λ/4 plate and a positive C plate, or a film formed of a λ/4 plate and a λ/2 plate as a retardation film. The retardation film may be formed of a material for forming a protective film described later or a composition containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound.
(1) Polarizing plate having stretched film as polarizer
A polarizing plate having a polarizing plate as a polarizer, the polarizing plate being a stretched film having a dye having absorption anisotropy adsorbed thereon, will be described. A stretched film as a polarizer, to which a dye having absorption anisotropy is adsorbed, is generally produced through the following steps: a step of uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol resin film; a step of dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol resin film with a dichroic dye to thereby adsorb the dichroic dye; and a step of treating the polyvinyl alcohol resin film having the dichroic dye adsorbed thereon with an aqueous boric acid solution; and a step of washing with water after the treatment with the boric acid aqueous solution. Such a polarizer may be used as it is as a polarizing plate, or a product obtained by laminating a transparent protective film on one or both surfaces thereof may be used as a polarizing plate. The thickness of the polarizer obtained in the above manner is preferably 2 μm to 40 μm.
The polyvinyl alcohol resin can be obtained by saponifying a polyvinyl acetate resin. As the polyvinyl acetate-based resin, in addition to polyvinyl acetate which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and another monomer copolymerizable therewith may be used. Examples of the other monomer copolymerizable with vinyl acetate include unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonic acids, and acrylamides having an ammonium group.
The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually about 85 to 100 mol%, and preferably 98 mol% or more. The polyvinyl alcohol resin may be modified, and for example, polyvinyl formal or polyvinyl acetal modified with aldehydes may be used. The polymerization degree of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually about 1,000 to 10,000, and preferably 1,500 to 5,000.
The film obtained by forming such a polyvinyl alcohol resin film can be used as a blank film for a polarizing plate. The method for forming the polyvinyl alcohol resin film is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used for forming the film. The thickness of the polyvinyl alcohol base film may be, for example, about 10 μm to 150 μm.
The uniaxial stretching of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film may be performed before, simultaneously with, or after the dyeing with the dichroic dye. When the uniaxial stretching is performed after dyeing, the uniaxial stretching may be performed before or during the boric acid treatment. In addition, the uniaxial stretching may be performed in the above-described plurality of stages. In the case of uniaxial stretching, the stretching may be carried out uniaxially between rolls having different peripheral speeds, or may be carried out uniaxially using a hot roll. The uniaxial stretching may be dry stretching in which stretching is performed in the air, or wet stretching in which stretching is performed in a state where the polyvinyl alcohol resin film is swollen with a solvent. The draw ratio is usually about 3 to 8 times.
The material of the protective film to be attached to one surface or both surfaces of the polarizer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include films known in the art, such as a cyclic polyolefin resin film, an acetate resin film made of a resin such as triacetyl cellulose or diacetyl cellulose, a polyester resin film made of a resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate or polybutylene terephthalate, a polycarbonate resin film, a (meth) acrylic resin film, and a polypropylene resin film. From the viewpoint of thinning, the thickness of the protective film is usually 300 μm or less, preferably 200 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less, and usually 5 μm or more, preferably 20 μm or more. The protective film may or may not have a phase difference.
(2) Polarizing plate having polarizer formed of film formed of liquid crystal layer
A polarizing plate including a film formed of a liquid crystal layer as a polarizer will be described. Examples of a film used as a polarizer and coated with a dye having absorption anisotropy include a film obtained by applying a composition containing a dichroic dye having liquid crystallinity or a composition containing a dichroic dye and a liquid crystal compound to a substrate and curing the composition. The film may be used as a polarizing plate after peeling off the substrate or together with the substrate, or may be used as a polarizing plate having a protective film on one or both surfaces thereof. Examples of the protective film include those similar to the polarizing plate having the stretched film as the polarizer.
A thinner film obtained by applying and curing a dye having absorption anisotropy is preferable, but if it is too thin, the strength tends to be lowered and the processability tends to be deteriorated. The thickness of the film is usually 20 μm or less, preferably 5 μm or less, and more preferably 0.5 μm or more and 3 μm or less.
Specific examples of the film coated with the dye having absorption anisotropy include films described in japanese patent application laid-open nos. 2013-37353 and 2013-33249.
(touch sensor panel)
The touch sensor panel is not limited to any detection method as long as it is a sensor capable of detecting a touched position, and examples thereof include touch sensor panels of a resistive film method, a capacitive coupling method, an optical sensor method, an ultrasonic wave method, an electromagnetic induction coupling method, a surface acoustic wave method, and the like. From the viewpoint of low cost, a touch sensor panel of a resistive film type or a capacitive coupling type is preferably used.
An example of a resistive touch sensor panel includes a pair of substrates arranged to face each other, an insulating spacer interposed between the pair of substrates, a transparent conductive film provided as a resistive film on an inner front surface of each substrate, and a touch position detection circuit. In an image display device provided with a resistive touch sensor panel, when the surface of the composite front panel 100 is touched, the opposing resistive films are short-circuited, and a current flows through the resistive films. The touch position detection circuit detects a change in voltage at that time, thereby detecting a touched position.
An example of a capacitive coupling type touch sensor panel includes a substrate, a position detection transparent electrode provided on the entire surface of the substrate, and a touch position detection circuit. In an image display device provided with a capacitive coupling type touch sensor panel, when the surface of the composite front panel 100 is touched, the transparent electrode is grounded at the touched point via the capacitance of the human body. The touch position detection circuit detects the grounding of the transparent electrode, thereby detecting the touched position.
[ use of image display device ]
The image display device according to the present invention can be used as a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, a television, a digital photo frame, an electronic billboard, a measuring instrument, an office device, a medical device, a computer device, or the like. The bending direction of the image display device may be bending with the composite front panel 100 as the inner side, or bending with the composite front panel 100 as the outer side. According to the present invention, the degree of freedom in design is increased as compared with the case where the colored layer 20 is disposed so as to protrude from the surface of the composite front panel 100, and air biting during lamination can be prevented.

[ evaluation ]
< air bubbles during bonding >
The display-side surfaces of the composite front panels of examples 1 to 5 were in the same horizontal plane, and therefore, no air bubbles were generated when they were bonded to other members via the adhesive layer.
< difference in level of concavity of viewing-side surface >
The composite front panels of examples 1 to 5 were observed on the viewing side surface with an interferometer microscope (Bruker GT), and the height of the difference in height between the display region and the non-display region in which the colored layer was formed (the difference between the maximum height and the minimum height) was measured. No difference in height was observed in the composite front panels of examples 1 to 4. That is, the height of the step is 0 (zero) μm. On the other hand, in the composite front panel of example 5, a step formed by the non-display region protruding from the display region was observed, and the height of the step was 4.6 μm. The evaluation results are shown in table 1.
< measurement of optical Density >
The composite front panels of examples 1 to 5 were each prepared by cutting out a region (non-display region) on which the colored layer 20 was formed in a size of 117mm × 154mm, and then prepared as a sample for measuring optical density. The sample was set in an optical density measuring instrument (product name: 361T, manufactured by X-rite Co., Ltd.), the light source on the upper part of the viewing side surface of the sample was turned on to focus on the colored layer of the sample, the light source on the upper part was turned off, the light source on the lower part of the display side surface of the sample was turned on, and the optical density was measured using the colored layer as a measurement region. The measurement results are shown in table 1.

< test example 4>
A front panel different from the composite front panel 100 produced in example 1 only in that the colored layer 20 is not provided was produced. Specifically, without performing the step of forming the colored layer 20, the resin composition (containing a polyimide resin) for forming the 1 st resin layer was applied to the surface of the base film 110 so that the thickness after drying became 50 μm, and was prebaked at 80 ℃ for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the base film 110 was peeled off to expose the display side surface 10b of the resin layer 10, and post-baked at 200 ℃ for 30 minutes to obtain a front panel used in test example 4.
On the display side surface of the front panel, using a colorant-containing layer-forming composition (black) as an ink, printing was performed 2 times with a discharge amount of 6 μm after drying by screen printing using a 460-mesh screen, and then printing was performed 1 time with a discharge amount of 3 μm after drying, to form a shielding layer 25 formed of a black printed layer having a thickness of 15 μm and a width of 25mm over the entire circumference of the peripheral edge portion, thereby obtaining an optical laminate.
The surface of the obtained optical laminate on the display side and the surface of the 3 rd resin layer on the side to be bonded were subjected to corona treatment. Then, the layers were laminated so as to be "front panel (having shielding layer formed)/adhesive layer/3 rd resin layer", and were bonded using a roll bonding machine, followed by curing in an autoclave to obtain an optical laminate.
The resin composition for forming the 2 nd resin layer was applied to the viewing side surface of the obtained optical laminate, and cured by ultraviolet irradiation to form the 2 nd resin layer having a thickness of 10 μm, thereby obtaining the optical laminate of test example 3 formed of "the 2 nd resin layer/the front panel (with the shielding layer formed)/the adhesive layer/the 3 rd resin layer". The optical laminate of test example 3 had no colored layer.
< test example 5>
It differs from the optical laminate of test example 2 only in the thickness of the colored layer in the composite front panel. Specifically, in contrast to test example 2 in which the optical laminate was produced using the composite front panel 100 of example 1, test example 5 in which the optical laminate was produced using the composite front panel 100 of example 5.
< test example 6>
This is different from the optical laminate of test example 3 in the thickness of the 1 st resin layer 10 and the thickness of the colored layer 20 in the composite front panel, and in the thickness of the shielding layer 25. Specifically, in test example 3, the optical laminate was produced using the composite front plate 100 of example 1, whereas in test example 6, a composite front plate in which the thickness of the 1 st resin layer 10 was 60 μm and the thickness of the colored layer 20 was 12 μm was used. In the production of the composite front plate, the colored layer 20 was formed by printing 2 times so that the coating thickness after drying became a discharge amount of 6 μm.
An optical laminate 501 having a configuration shown in fig. 13 was obtained by printing 1 time with a 460-mesh screen using a colorant-containing layer-forming composition (black) as an ink so that the ink had the same width as the colored layer 20 on the display-side surface of the composite front panel and the discharge amount of 6 μm after drying, and forming a shielding layer 25 formed of a black printed layer having a thickness of 6 μm and a width of 25mm over the entire circumference of the peripheral edge portion, using a screen of 6 mesh.
The surface of the obtained optical laminate 501 on the display side and the surface of the 3 rd resin layer on the side to be bonded were subjected to corona treatment. Then, the layers were laminated so as to be "optical laminate 501/pressure-sensitive adhesive layer/3 rd resin layer", and were bonded using a roll bonding machine, followed by curing in an autoclave, whereby optical laminate 503 shown in fig. 15 was obtained.
The resin composition for forming the 2 nd resin layer was applied to the viewing side surface of the obtained optical laminate 503 and cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays to form the 2 nd resin layer having a thickness of 10 μm, thereby obtaining an optical laminate of test example 6 having a configuration similar to that of the optical laminate 504 shown in fig. 16 and including the "2 nd resin layer/optical laminate 501/pressure-sensitive adhesive layer/3 rd resin layer".
[ evaluation ]
< air bubbles on the surface of adhesive layer >
The surfaces of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on the composite front panel side were observed with an optical microscope (manufactured by Olympus) for the optical laminates of test examples 1 to 6, and the generation of bubbles was evaluated based on the following criteria. The evaluation results are shown in table 2.
A: no bubbles were observed and,
b: bubbles were observed only in the periphery of the colored layer (non-display region),
c: bubbles were observed in the periphery (non-display region) and other regions (display regions) of the colored layer.
< difference in level of concavity of viewing-side surface >
The optical layered bodies of test examples 1 to 6 were observed on the viewing side surface with an interferometer microscope (Bruker GT), and the height of the difference in height between the display region and the non-display region in which the colored layer was formed (the difference between the maximum height and the minimum height) was measured. No difference in height was observed in the optical laminates of test examples 1 to 3. That is, the height of the step is 0 (zero) μm. The evaluation results are shown in table 2.
< measurement of optical Density >
From the optical layered bodies of test examples 1 to 6, the area (non-display area) where the colored layer 20 was formed was cut out in a size of 117mm × 154mm, and samples for optical density measurement were prepared. The sample was set in an optical density measuring instrument (product name: 361T, manufactured by X-rite Co., Ltd.), the light source on the upper part of the viewing side surface of the sample was turned on to be focused on the colored layer (the composite layer formed of the colored layer and the shielding layer in the case where the shielding layer was formed), the light source on the upper part was turned off, the light source on the lower part located on the display side surface of the sample was turned on, and the optical density was measured with the colored layer (the composite layer formed of the colored layer and the shielding layer in the case where the shielding layer was formed) as a measurement region. The measurement results are shown in table 2.
