An optical laminate for use in an image display device is generally manufactured by laminating a plurality of optical members with an adhesive layer. In order to allow the adhesive layer to exhibit its original performance in the next step, a step of curing (aging) the adhesive layer after coating may be necessary.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In all the drawings below, the scale of each component shown in the drawings is appropriately adjusted to facilitate understanding of each component, and the scale of each component does not necessarily match the scale of the actual component.
< laminate >
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a laminate. The laminate 100 includes a1 st optical member 110, a1 st adhesive layer 120, a 2 nd optical member 130, a 2 nd adhesive layer 140, and a 3 rd optical member 150 in this order. The 1 st optical member 110 side of the laminate 100 is preferably a visually visible side.
The visually observable side refers to a side where the image display device is observed when the laminate 100 is used in the image display device. In this specification, the 1 st optical member, the 2 nd optical member, and the 3 rd optical member may be collectively referred to as an optical member. In the present specification, the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer may be collectively referred to as an adhesive layer.
The laminate 100 may be bent with the 3 rd optical member 150 side being inside. The bendable means that the laminated body can be bent without generating air bubbles between the adhesive layer and the optical member and within the adhesive layer. The bending includes a bent form in which a curved surface is formed at a bent portion. The bending form is not particularly limited, and the bending radius of the inner surface of the bend may be 15mm or less, 10mm or less, or 5mm or less, for example. The bending radius is, for example, in the range of 0.5mm to 5.0 mm.
The term "bent" includes a form in which the angle of the bent inner surface is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and includes a form in which the radius of curvature of the inner surface is approximately 0 or a form in which the angle of bending of the inner surface is 0 degree, unless otherwise specified. When the bent portion is curved, an angle formed by straight lines sandwiching the bent portion is defined as an angle of the inner surface.
The laminate of the present invention can be bent and is therefore suitable for flexible displays.
[ static bending durability ]
In the case where the laminate 100 was subjected to a static bending durability test in which the 3 rd optical member 150 side was set inside and a bent state with a bending radius of 2.5mm was maintained, bubbles tended to be less likely to be generated between the adhesive layer and the optical member and within the adhesive layer at the bent portion. In the case of performing the static bending durability test, the time until bubbles are initially generated in the adhesive layer and between the bent portion and the optical member in the adhesive layer is preferably more than 48 hours, more preferably more than 72 hours, for the laminate 100. The static bending durability test can be performed by the method described in the examples described later.
The laminate 100 may have a square shape in a plan view, for example, preferably has a square shape having long sides and short sides, and more preferably has a rectangular shape. Each layer constituting the laminate 100 may be subjected to R-processing at the corner, slitting processing at the end, and punching processing.
The laminate 100 can be used for, for example, an image display device or the like. The image display device is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display device, an inorganic electroluminescence (inorganic EL) display device, a liquid crystal display device, and an electroluminescence display device. The laminate 100 can be bent and is therefore suitable for flexible displays.
[ tack value at 25 ℃ C. of the adhesive layer ]
The 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer both have a tack value of 0.8gf or more at a temperature of 25 ℃. The tack value is considered to be related to the initial adhesion force after the adhesive layer and the optical member are bonded. Therefore, it is presumed that: when the viscosity value is within the above range, a laminate having excellent static bending durability can be obtained even when sufficient time cannot be allocated for aging. When either or both of the tack values at 25 ℃ of the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer are less than 0.8gf, interfacial peeling tends to occur easily after bending due to insufficient adhesive force. The tack value at a temperature of 25 ℃ of the adhesive layer was measured by the method described in the examples described later.
From the viewpoint of excellent static bending durability, the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer each have a viscosity value at 25 ℃ of preferably 1.0gf or more, more preferably 1.1gf or more, further preferably 1.2gf or more, particularly preferably 1.3gf or more, more particularly preferably 1.4gf or more, further particularly preferably 1.5gf or more, and particularly preferably 2.0gf or more. The tack value at 25 ℃ of each of the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer may be, for example, 10.0gf or less, preferably 9.0gf or less, more preferably 8.0gf or less, further preferably 7.0gf or less, particularly preferably 6.0gf or less, more particularly preferably 5.0gf or less, and further particularly preferably 3.8gf or less. When the viscosity value at 25 ℃ of the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer exceeds 10.0gf, the cohesive force inside the adhesive layers tends to be easily lowered.
The laminate 100 satisfies the following formula (1).
The tack value at 25 ℃ of the 2 nd adhesive layer > the tack value at 25 ℃ of the 1 st adhesive layer (1)
The following are found: when the laminate is bent with the 3 rd optical member side being on the inside, the 2 nd adhesive layer tends to have a higher tack value at a temperature of 25 ℃ than the 1 st adhesive layer at a temperature of 25 ℃, and to have more excellent static bending durability. When the laminate is bent with the 3 rd optical member side being on the inside, the 2 nd adhesive layer is disposed at a position closer to the 3 rd optical member than the 1 st adhesive layer, and therefore the bending radius is smaller, and the applied stress tends to be larger. Therefore, it is inferred that the adhesive layer having a larger viscosity value is disposed as the 2 nd adhesive layer, and the adhesion state is easily maintained.
The viscosity value at a temperature of 25 ℃ of the adhesive layer tends to be higher as the adhesive layer is softer. The tack value at a temperature of 25 ℃ of the adhesive layer can be adjusted by selecting the kind and the addition amount of the monomer constituting the base polymer, the additive (e.g., acrylic acid monomer) added to the adhesive. The tack value at 25 ℃ of the temperature of the adhesive layer can also be adjusted by adding a tackifier (tack inhibitor).
[ optical Member ]
The optical member may be a component used in a general image display device. When the laminate 100 is used in an image display device, the 1 st optical member 110 may be bonded to the image display device so as to be on the visually visible side, and preferably the 1 st optical member 110 is bonded to the image display device so as to be the outermost layer constituting the visually visible side of the image display device.
Examples of the optical member include a front panel, a polarizing plate, a touch sensor panel, and an image display device. The 1 st optical member 110 may be a front panel. The 2 nd optical member 130 may be a polarizing plate. The 3 rd optical member 150 may be a touch sensor panel or an image display element, and is preferably a touch sensor panel.
[ front panel ]
The material and thickness of the front panel are not limited as long as the front panel is a plate-like body that can transmit light, and the front panel may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure, and examples thereof include a plate-like body made of glass (e.g., a glass plate, a glass film, etc.), a plate-like body made of resin (e.g., a resin plate, a resin sheet, a resin film, etc.), and a laminate of a plate-like body made of resin and a plate-like body made of glass. The front panel may be the layer constituting the outermost surface of the visually visible side of the image display device.
As the glass plate, strengthened glass for display is preferably used. The thickness of the glass plate is, for example, 10 to 1000. mu.m, preferably 20 to 500. mu.m. By using the glass plate, an optical member having excellent mechanical strength and surface hardness can be constituted.
The resin film is not limited as long as it can transmit light. Examples of the film include films formed of polymers such as cellulose triacetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyester, polystyrene, polyamide, polyetherimide, poly (meth) acrylic acid, polyimide, polyethersulfone, polysulfone, polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, poly (meth) acrylic acid, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, and polyamideimide. These polymers may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more. When the laminate is used for a flexible display, a resin film formed of a polymer such as polyimide, polyamide, or polyamideimide, which has excellent flexibility, high strength, and high transparency, is suitably used. In the present specification, "(meth) acrylic acid" means either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. The same applies to "(meth)" such as (meth) acrylate.
In the case where the front panel is a resin film, the resin film may be a film in which a hard coat layer is provided on at least one surface of the base film to further increase the hardness. The hard coat layer may be formed on one surface of the substrate film or on both surfaces. In the case where the image display device described later is a touch panel type image display device, since the surface of the front panel serves as a touch surface, a resin film having a hard coat layer can be preferably used. By providing the hard coat layer, a resin film having improved hardness and scratch resistance can be produced. The hard coat layer is a cured layer of, for example, an ultraviolet curable resin. Examples of the ultraviolet curable resin include (meth) acrylic resins, silicone resins, polyester resins, polyurethane resins, amide resins, and epoxy resins. To increase hardness, the hard coating may contain additives. The additive is not limited, and may be inorganic fine particles, organic fine particles, or a mixture thereof. The thickness of the resin film is, for example, 10 to 500. mu.m, preferably 20 to 100. mu.m.
The front panel may have a function of protecting the front surface of the image display device, a function as a touch sensor, a blue light prevention function, a viewing angle adjustment function, and the like.
[ polarizing plate ]
The polarizer 130 may be a linear polarizer or a circular polarizer. The linear polarizer may be laminated with a protective layer on one side of the polarizer. The linearly polarizing plate has a property of transmitting linearly polarized light having a vibration plane perpendicular to an absorption axis when unpolarized light is incident. The linearly polarizing plate may include a polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "PVA") resin film as a polarizer, or may be a cured film obtained by aligning a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound and polymerizing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound. A polarizer obtained by coating and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound is preferable because the bending direction is not limited as compared with a polarizer containing a PVA-based resin film obtained by a stretching step.
The linearly polarizing plate may include only the polarizer and the protective layer, or may include 1 or more of the substrate, the thermoplastic resin film, the outer coating layer, and the alignment film in addition to the polarizer and the protective layer. The thickness of the linearly polarizing plate is, for example, 2 to 100. mu.m, preferably 5 to 60 μm.
[ polarizer ]
Examples of the polarizer include polarizers obtained by subjecting a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol (hereinafter, also referred to simply as "PVA") film, a partially acetalized PVA film, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film to a dyeing treatment or a stretching treatment with a dichroic substance such as iodine or a dichroic dye. From the viewpoint of excellent optical properties, it is preferable to use a polarizer obtained by dyeing a PVA-based resin film with iodine and uniaxially stretching the PVA-based resin film.
The polyvinyl alcohol resin can be produced by saponifying a polyvinyl acetate resin. The polyvinyl acetate resin may be a copolymer of vinyl acetate and another monomer copolymerizable with vinyl acetate, in addition to polyvinyl acetate which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate. 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, polyvinyl acetal modified with aldehydes, or the like may be used. The polyvinyl alcohol resin has an average polymerization degree of usually about 1000 to 10000, preferably about 1500 to 5000. The average degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol resin can be determined in accordance with JIS K6726 (1994). If the average degree of polymerization is less than 1000, it is difficult to obtain preferable polarizing performance, and if it exceeds 10000, film processability may be poor.
Examples of a method for producing a polarizer including another PVA-based resin film include a production method including the steps of: first, a base film is prepared, a solution of a resin such as a polyvinyl alcohol resin is applied to the base film, and the base film is dried by removing the solvent to form a resin layer thereon. The primer layer may be formed in advance on the resin layer-forming surface of the base film. As the base film, a resin film such as PET or a film using a thermoplastic resin which can be used as a protective layer described later can be used. Examples of the material of the primer layer include a resin obtained by crosslinking a hydrophilic resin used for a polarizer.
Next, if necessary, the amount of solvent such as water in the resin layer is adjusted, and then the base film and the resin layer are uniaxially stretched, and then the resin layer is dyed with a dichroic dye such as iodine to adsorb and orient the dichroic dye in the resin layer. Next, a washing step of treating the resin layer in which the dichroic dye is adsorbed and aligned with the aqueous boric acid solution and washing off the aqueous boric acid solution is performed as necessary. In this way, a polarizer, which is a resin layer in which the dichroic dye is adsorbed and aligned, is produced. The respective steps may be performed by known methods.
The uniaxial stretching of the substrate film and the resin layer may be performed before dyeing, during boric acid treatment after dyeing, or in several stages of the uniaxial stretching. The substrate film and the resin layer may be uniaxially stretched in the MD direction (film carrying direction), and in this case, the uniaxial stretching may be performed between rolls having different peripheral speeds, or the uniaxial stretching may be performed using a hot roll. The substrate film and the resin layer may be uniaxially stretched in the TD direction (direction perpendicular to the film conveyance direction), and in this case, a so-called tenter method may be used. The stretching of the base film and the resin layer may be dry stretching in which the stretching is performed in the atmosphere, or wet stretching in which the stretching is performed in a state in which the resin layer is swollen with a solvent. In order to exhibit the performance of the polarizer, the stretching magnification is 4 times or more, preferably 5 times or more, and particularly preferably 5.5 times or more. There is no particular upper limit of the stretch ratio, but from the viewpoint of suppressing breakage and the like, it is preferably 8 times or less.
The thickness of the polarizer comprising the PVA-based resin film is, for example, 2 to 40 μm.
The thickness of the polarizer may be 5 μm or more, 20 μm or less, 15 μm or less, and further 10 μm or less.
Examples of the method for producing a polarizer, which is a cured film obtained by aligning a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound and polymerizing the polymerizable liquid crystal compound, include a method for forming a polarizer by coating a composition for forming a polarizer containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound and a dichroic dye on a base film through an alignment film, and a method for forming a polarizer by coating a composition for forming a polarizer containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound and a dichroic dye on a protective layer, which is formed on a base film, through an alignment film, and polymerizing and curing the polymerizable liquid crystal compound while maintaining a liquid crystal state. The polarizer thus obtained is in a state of being laminated on the protective layer of the base film, and can be used as a linear polarizing plate with a base film. As the substrate film, a thermoplastic resin film, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate film, or the like can be used.
As the dichroic dye, a dye having the following properties can be used: the absorbance of the molecule in the major axis direction is different from the absorbance in the minor axis direction, and a dye having a maximum absorption wavelength (. lamda.max) in the range of 300 to 700nm, for example, is preferable. As such a dichroismExamples of the sex pigments include acridine pigment,
Figure BDA0003116827330000091
Oxazine pigments, cyanine pigments, naphthalene pigments, azo pigments, anthraquinone pigments, and the like, and among them, azo pigments are preferable. Examples of the azo dye include monoazo dyes, disazo dyes, trisazo dyes, tetraazo dyes, and stilbene azo dyes, and disazo dyes and trisazo dyes are more preferable.

The retardation layer had a thickness of 5 μm, and the layer was constituted of a layer λ/2 (thickness 2 μm)/a UV-curable adhesive layer (thickness 2 μm)/a layer λ/4 (thickness 1 μm) containing a layer obtained by curing a liquid crystal compound. Thus, a circularly polarizing plate (thickness: 30 μm, layer structure: COP film/polarizer/retardation layer) was produced.
(preparation of touch sensor laminate)
A separation layer is formed by applying an acrylic resin to a glass plate. Next, a light-transmitting electrode layer was formed on the separation layer, and a touch sensor layer (thickness 7 μm) composed of the light-transmitting electrode layer and the separation layer was produced. Then, a release film a is laminated on the side of the light-transmitting electrode layer opposite to the side of the separation layer. A release film B was laminated on the surface from which the glass plate was removed, and a touch sensor laminate having a layer of release film a/touch sensor layer/release film B was produced.
(preparation of laminate)
The above members were bonded using the adhesive sheet described in table 2 as an adhesive layer to prepare a laminate. The laminate comprises a front panel (thickness 50 μm), a1 st adhesive layer (thickness 25 μm), a circularly polarizing plate (thickness 30 μm), a 2 nd adhesive layer (thickness 25 μm), and a touch sensor layer (thickness 7 μm) in this order, and the total thickness is 137 μm. When the members are bonded, the bonding surfaces are subjected to corona treatment. The laminate thus produced was left to stand in an environment of 23 ℃ and 55% relative humidity for 24 hours, and then the laminate was evaluated for static bending durability. The results are shown in Table 2.
< example 2 and comparative examples 1 to 5 >
A laminate was produced in the same manner as in example 1, except that the adhesive sheets described in table 2 were used for the 1 st adhesive layer and the 2 nd adhesive layer. The laminate was evaluated for static bending durability. The time from the preparation of the adhesive layer to the evaluation of the static bending durability was the same as that of example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.
