(Flexible laminate)
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a flexible laminate according to the present embodiment. The flexible laminate 100 includes a front panel 10, a 1 st adhesive layer 20, a circularly polarizing plate 30, a 2 nd adhesive layer 40, and a touch sensor panel (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a "TS panel") 50. As shown in fig. 1, the flexible laminate 100 is formed by laminating a front panel 10, a 1 st adhesive layer 20, a circularly polarizing plate 30, a 2 nd adhesive layer 40, and a TS panel 50 in this order from the viewing side.
The flexible laminate 100 has flexibility, and thus can be applied to an image display device (flexible display) that can be bent, rolled, or the like. The flexible laminate 100 of the present embodiment is excellent in bendability (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "bendability (in)") in which the front panel 10 side is bent as an inner side. Specifically, the flexible laminate 100 can have a flexibility of 5 ten thousand or more, which is a limit number of times of bending of cracks or swelling of the adhesive layer in a region where bending occurs in a flexibility (in) test in examples described later, and the limit number of times of bending is preferably 10 ten thousand or more, and more preferably 20 ten thousand or more.
In addition to the above-described bendability (in), the flexible laminate 100 according to one embodiment can be a flexible laminate having excellent bendability (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "bendability (out)") in which the front panel 10 side is bent as the outer side. Specifically, the flexible laminate 100 preferably has a bendability with a limit number of bending of 5 ten thousand or more, more preferably 10 ten thousand or more, and even more preferably 20 ten thousand or more, in a bendability (out) test of examples described later.
The flexible laminate 100 can constitute an image display device as described above, and is particularly suitable for a flexible display that can be bent, rolled, or the like, and further, the flexible laminate 100 is provided with the circularly polarizing plate 30, and therefore, can be used as an antireflection film for an organic electroluminescence (E L) display device, for example.
The flexible laminate 100 satisfies the following relation (i) when the thickness of the front panel 10 is a [ mu ] m, the thickness of the 1 st adhesive layer 20 is b [ mu ] m, the thickness of the circularly polarizing plate 30 is c [ mu ] m, the thickness of the 2 nd adhesive layer 40 is d [ mu ] m, the thickness of the TS panel 50 is e [ mu ] m, and the tensile modulus of elasticity of the front panel at a temperature of 23 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55% is Ea [ GPa ]:
{Ea×(a+b)}/(a+b+c+d+e)≥1.5 (i)。
hereinafter, the total thickness t [ μm ] of the front panel 10, the 1 st adhesive layer 20, the circularly polarizing plate 30, the 2 nd adhesive layer 40, and the TS panel 50 may be expressed by the following formula (iii):
t=a+b+c+d+e (iii)。
in the formula (i), { Ea × (a + b) }/t (here, t is represented by the formula (iii)), is preferably 1.65 or more, more preferably 1.70 or more, and may be 2.00 or more, or 2.50 or more, and usually 6.00 or less, or 5.50 or less, or 5.00 or less, or 4.50 or less.
The flexible laminate 100 is provided on the image display device so that the front panel 10 side becomes the front surface side (viewing side). therefore, from the viewpoint of impact resistance of the flexible laminate 100, it is preferable that the thickness a of the front panel 10 positioned on the front surface side of the image display device and the thickness b of the 1 st adhesive layer 20 are large, and from the viewpoint of impact resistance of the flexible laminate 100, the tensile elastic modulus Ea of the front panel 10 is also large, and from the viewpoint of flexibility of the flexible laminate 100, it is preferable that the total thickness t shown in the above formula (iii) is small, and therefore, in the flexible laminate 100, in order to achieve both impact resistance and flexibility, in { Ea × (a + b) }/t in the above formula (i), it is considered that the denominator the numerator is small and the numerator is large.
By satisfying the relationship of the above expression (i), the flexible laminate 100 can have good impact resistance, and can be a flexible laminate 100 having excellent bendability (in) in which the front panel 10 side is bent inward in particular.
The total thickness shown by the above formula (iii) is not particularly limited, but in recent years, thinning and weight reduction of an image display device have been advanced, and members used in the image display device tend to be thinned and reduced in weight, and the flexible laminate 100 is also required to be reduced in thickness. Therefore, the flexible laminate 100 is also required to be thin, and the thickness thereof is preferably 250 μm or less, more preferably 220 μm or less, and may be 200 μm or less, and may be 180 μm or less, and may be 150 μm or less, and usually 40 μm or more, and may be 70 μm or more.
The flexible laminate 100 preferably satisfies the following formula (iv):
(b+d)/t≥0.5 (iv)。
the ratio (b + d)/t in the formula (iv) is more preferably 0.5 or more, still more preferably 0.6 or more, and may be 0.65 or more, usually 0.9 or less, and may be 0.8 or less. By the flexible laminate 100 satisfying the relationship of the formula (iv), the 1 st adhesive layer 20 and the 2 nd adhesive layer 40 can be formed in the flexible laminate 100 to have a thickness equal to or larger than a certain thickness. This can ensure the flexibility of the flexible laminate 100, and improve the impact absorption and impact resistance of the entire flexible laminate 100.
In the flexible laminate 100, the above-described tensile elastic modulus Ea of the front panel 10, the thickness b of the 1 st adhesive layer 20, and the thickness d of the 2 nd adhesive layer 40 preferably satisfy the relationship of the following formula (ii):
b/(Ea×d)≥0.3 (ii)。
b/(Ea × d) in the above formula (ii) is preferably 0.40 or more, more preferably 0.50 or more, and is usually 3.0 or less, preferably 2.5 or less, more preferably 2.0 or less, and may be 1.8 or less.
The flexible laminate 100 has flexibility, from the viewpoint of providing the flexible laminate 100 with good flexibility (in) and flexibility (out), the thickness d of the 2 nd adhesive layer 40 is preferably small (that is, b/d is large), and if the shear stress at the time of bending the flexible laminate 100 is made small, the flexible laminate 100 is easily bent, and therefore, the smaller the tensile elastic modulus Ea of the front panel 10 (that is, 1/Ea is large) is more preferable, and therefore, in the flexible laminate 100, in order to make the flexibility (in) and the flexibility (out) good, in b/(Ea × d) of the above formula (ii), it is considered that the denominator is decreased and the numerator is increased.
By the flexible laminate 100 satisfying the relationship of the above expression (ii), a flexible laminate having excellent bendability (out) in which the front panel 10 side is bent outward in addition to the bendability (in) described above can be obtained.
The flexible laminate 100 further preferably has a thickness b of the 1 st adhesive layer 20 and a thickness d of the 2 nd adhesive layer 40 satisfying the following relationship (v):
0.5≦b/d≦7 (v)。
the thickness b of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 is preferably larger than the thickness d of the 2 nd pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 40, and therefore, b/d in the above formula (v) is more preferably 1 or more, further preferably 1.5 or more, and may be 2 or more, and may be 3 or more. In the formula (v), b/d is preferably 6 or less, more preferably 5.5 or less, and may be 5 or less. When the thickness b of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 and the thickness d of the 2 nd pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 40 are in the relationship of the above formula (v), a flexible laminate 100 having excellent flexibility can be obtained in which the front panel 10 is bent particularly inward.
The shape of the flexible laminate 100 in the plane direction is not particularly limited, but is preferably a square shape, and more preferably a rectangular shape. When the flexible laminate 100 has a rectangular shape, the length of the long side is preferably 50mm to 300mm, and may be 100mm to 280mm, and the length of the short side is preferably 30mm to 250mm, and may be 60mm to 220mm, for example. The flexible laminate 100 may have a rounded square shape obtained by R-processing at least 1 of the corners of the square shape, or may have a square shape having a cutout on at least one side. In addition, the flexible laminate 100 may be provided with a hole penetrating in the lamination direction.
(front panel)
The front panel 10 is a plate-like body that can function as a layer for protecting a display element of an image display device or the like and can transmit light, and the plate-like body is preferably made of glass or resin in general. The front panel 10 may be disposed at the outermost surface of the image display device. The front panel 10 is preferably a resin film or a resin film with a hard coat layer having a hard coat layer provided on at least one surface of the resin film to further increase the hardness. In addition, the front panel 10 may have a blue light cut-off function, a viewing angle adjustment function, and the like.
The resin film forming the front panel 10 is not limited as long as it is a resin film that can transmit light. Examples of the film include films formed of polymers such as triacetyl cellulose, acetyl cellulose butyrate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, propionyl cellulose, butyryl cellulose, acetyl propionyl cellulose, polyester, polystyrene, polyamide, polyetherimide, poly (meth) acrylic acid, polyimide, polyethersulfone, polysulfone, polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, polyetherketone, polyetheretherketone, polyethersulfone, poly (meth) methyl acrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, and polyamideimide. These polymers may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more. When the image display device 300 is a flexible display, a resin film formed of a polymer such as polyimide, polyamide, or polyamideimide is preferably used so as to have excellent flexibility, high strength, and high transparency.
The resin film with a hard coat layer forming the front panel 10 may have a hard coat layer on one side of the resin film or may have a hard coat layer on both sides of the resin film. When the resin film has hard coat layers on both surfaces thereof, the composition and thickness of each hard coat layer may be the same or different from each other. The resin film with a hard coat layer can have improved hardness and scratch resistance as compared with a resin film without a hard coat layer.
The hard coat layer of the resin film with a hard coat layer is a cured layer of, for example, an ultraviolet curable resin. Examples of the ultraviolet curable resin include (meth) acrylic resins such as monofunctional (meth) acrylic resins, polyfunctional (meth) acrylic resins, and polyfunctional (meth) acrylic resins having a dendrimer structure; a silicone resin; a polyester resin; a urethane resin; an amide resin; epoxy resins, and the like. The hard coating may contain additives for the purpose of improving strength. The additive is not limited, and examples thereof include inorganic fine particles, organic fine particles, and a mixture thereof.
The rigidity of the front panel 10 at a temperature of 23 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55% is 0.090GPa mm or more, more preferably 0.12GPa mm or more, still more preferably 0.2GPa mm or more, still more preferably 0.25GPa mm or more, and yet more preferably 0.7GPa mm or less, and may be 0.6GPa mm or less, and may be 0.5GPa mm or less. If the rigidity of the front panel 10 is small, the flexibility of the flexible laminate 100 tends to be improved, while the impact resistance tends to be reduced, and if the rigidity of the front panel 10 is large, the impact resistance of the flexible laminate 100 tends to be improved, while the flexibility tends to be reduced. When the rigidity of the front panel 10 is in the above range, the flexible laminate 100 satisfies the above formula (i) or the relationship between the above formulae (i) and (ii), and thus the flexible laminate 100 having impact resistance and excellent bendability can be obtained favorably.
The rigidity of the front panel 10 can be determined by the tensile elastic modulus Ea [ GPa ] of the whole front panel 10 at a temperature of 23 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55%]Thickness [ mm ] of the whole of the front panel 10]Product of (Ea [ GPa ]]×a[μm]×10-3) And then calculated. The thickness a of the front panel 10 may be, for example, 30 to 200. mu.m, preferably 50 to 150. mu.m, more preferably 50 to 100. mu.m, and may be 90 μm or less. The tensile elastic modulus Ea of the front panel 10 is, for example, preferably 1GPa or more, more preferably 2GPa or more, further preferably 3GPa or more, and further preferably 30GPa or less, more preferably 20GPa or less, further preferably 10GPa or less.
(1 st adhesive layer)
The 1 st adhesive layer 20 is a layer for bonding the front panel 10 and the circularly polarizing plate 30, and may be formed using an adhesive composition. The thickness b of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the relationship between the above-mentioned formulas (i) and (ii), and is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 7 μm or more, further preferably 10 μm or more, and may be 20 μm or more, and may be 30 μm or more, and is usually 200 μm or less, preferably 100 μm or less, and more preferably 80 μm or less.
The storage elastic modulus Gb of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 at a temperature of 25 ℃ and a relative humidity of 50% is preferably 0.005MPa or more, may be 0.007MPa or more, and may be 0.01MPa or more, and is preferably 0.2MPa or less, and may be 0.17MPa or less, and may be 0.15MPa or less.
If the storage elastic modulus Gb of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 becomes small, the impact resistance of the flexible laminate 100 tends to decrease, and if the storage elastic modulus Gb of the 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 becomes large, the flexibility of the flexible laminate 100 tends to decrease. When the storage elastic modulus Gb of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 is in the above range, the flexible laminate 100 satisfies the above formula (i) or the relationship between the above formulae (i) and (ii), and the flexible laminate 100 having impact resistance and excellent bendability can be obtained favorably.
The 1 st pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 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, preferred is an adhesive composition containing a (meth) acrylic resin as a base polymer, which is excellent in transparency, weather resistance, heat resistance and the like. The adhesive composition may be an active energy ray-curable type or a thermosetting type.

The base polymer preferably copolymerizes polar monomers. Examples of the polar monomer include monomers having a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, an amide group, an amino group, an epoxy group, and the like, such as (meth) acrylic acid, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, (meth) acrylamide, N-dimethylaminoethyl (meth) acrylate, and glycidyl (meth) acrylate.
The adhesive composition may contain only the above-mentioned base polymer, but usually further contains a crosslinking agent. Examples of the crosslinking agent include metal ions having a valence of 2 or more and a metal carboxylate salt formed between the crosslinking agent and a carboxyl group; polyamine compounds and substances which form amide bonds with carboxyl groups; a polyepoxy compound or a polyhydric alcohol and forming an ester bond with a carboxyl group; a polyisocyanate compound and a substance forming an amide bond with 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 beam, and having a property of having adhesiveness even before irradiation with an active energy ray and being capable of being bonded to an adherend such as a film and being cured by irradiation with an active energy ray, thereby adjusting the bonding force. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition is preferably an ultraviolet-curable adhesive composition. The active energy ray-curable adhesive composition further contains an active energy ray-polymerizable compound in addition to the base polymer and the crosslinking agent. Further, a photopolymerization initiator, a photosensitizer and the like may be contained as necessary.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may contain additives such as fine particles, beads (resin beads, glass beads, and the like), glass fibers, resins other than the base polymer, tackifiers, fillers (metal powders, other inorganic powders, and the like), antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, dyes, pigments, colorants, defoamers, anticorrosion agents, and photopolymerization initiators for imparting light scattering properties.

The circularly polarizing plate 30 can convert light (external light) emitted from the display element side of the image display device having the flexible laminate 100 through the flexible laminate 100 into circularly polarized light.
Further, since the circularly polarizing plate 30 can suppress the emission of reflected light of external light, the flexible laminate 100 can be provided with a function as an antireflection film.

If the rigidity of the circularly polarizing plate 30 is reduced, the flexibility of the flexible laminate 100 tends to be improved, while the impact resistance tends to be reduced, and if the rigidity of the circularly polarizing plate 30 is increased, the impact resistance of the flexible laminate 100 tends to be improved, while the flexibility tends to be reduced. When the rigidity of the circularly polarizing plate 30 is in the above range, the flexible laminate 100 satisfies the above formula (i) or the relationship between the above formulae (i) and (ii), and thus the flexible laminate 100 having impact resistance and excellent bendability can be obtained favorably.
