Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the impact relaxation property of a lower structure connected to a laminate such as an organic EL layer and to improve the scratch resistance of the laminate surface while maintaining flexibility (flexibility). The invention provides a flexible laminate, which comprises a 1 st glass plate with the thickness of 10-100 mu m, a polaroid, a touch sensor layer and a 2 nd glass plate with the thickness of 10-100 mu m laminated on the upper part or the lower part of the touch sensor layer.

Description

Flexible laminate and display device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a flexible laminate, and particularly to a flexible laminate having excellent impact resistance and scratch resistance.
Background
In recent years, organic EL displays using organic EL as display elements have rapidly spread. Among the organic EL displays, a touch panel integrated organic EL display operates by touching the surface of a display device. Depending on the kind of operation, the surface is sometimes tapped and sometimes rubbed.
Organic EL displays are generally thin. Therefore, there is a possibility that breakage may occur in the case of knocking, and in the case of rubbing, not only the surface may be scratched to deteriorate visibility, but also fine cracks may progress to breakage. The above display device is required to have a property of being able to withstand a sharp force applied from the viewing side in the vertical direction and friction against a surface while maintaining flexibility (flexibility).
Patent document 1 describes a touch panel-equipped display device in which a touch panel is mounted on a display panel via an antireflection layer or an adhesive layer on the polarizer side of the display device in which a polarizing plate is laminated on the display panel, wherein the polarizing plate includes a polarizer and a film having a film thickness of 35 μm or less laminated on the touch panel side of the polarizer, and a contact angle of the surface of the film on the touch panel side is less than 60 ° (claim 1). In the display device with a touch panel, the polarizing plate is formed to be thin, and peeling of the antireflection layer and the adhesive layer is suppressed, thereby preventing a reduction in visibility of the display device (paragraph [0017 ]).
Patent document 2 describes a polyimide film having a hard coat layer on one surface of a polyimide substrate and a transparent electrode layer on the other surface. The plastic substrate has excellent light transmittance, satisfies high hardness, ITO processability, and flexibility, and functions as a window film and an electrode when used in a touch panel (abstract).

Disclosure of Invention
However, the laminate described in patent document 1 is only configured by sandwiching a thin film such as an acrylic resin between the upper and lower sides of a polarizer of a polarizing plate existing in a display device, and has insufficient impact mitigating effect on a display panel located at the lower portion of the laminate and has not improved scratch resistance.
In addition, although the laminate described in patent document 2 uses a relatively rigid plastic substrate, even if it is used for a display device, the scratch resistance is still insufficient, and the impact-mitigating effect on the lower portion of the laminate cannot be sufficiently obtained.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the conventional laminate, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flexible laminate which can improve the impact relaxation effect on a lower structure connected to the laminate such as an organic EL layer while maintaining flexibility (flexibility) and can improve scratch resistance on the laminate surface.
The invention provides a flexible laminate, which comprises a 1 st glass plate with the thickness of 10-100 mu m, a polaroid, a touch sensor layer and a 2 nd glass plate with the thickness of 10-100 mu m laminated on the upper part or the lower part of the touch sensor layer.
In one embodiment, the flexible laminate has a thickness of 200 to 500 μm.
In one embodiment, the flexible laminate is for an organic EL display device.
The present invention also provides an organic EL display device including an organic EL layer and any one of the flexible laminates described above laminated on the visible side of the organic EL layer.
In one aspect, the organic EL display device has the following bending resistance: when the 1 st glass plate was turned inside with the polarizing plate as a reference and the operation of bending 180 ° with a bending radius of 3mm and developing was repeated 10 ten thousand times, the 1 st glass plate did not crack or break.
According to the present invention, there is provided a flexible laminate which has improved impact relaxation effect on a lower structure connected to the laminate and improved scratch resistance on the laminate surface while maintaining flexibility (flexibility).

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[ Flexible laminate ]
Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing an example of the structure of a flexible laminate 100 of the present invention. The flexible laminate 100 of fig. 1 includes: the touch sensor layer 30 includes a 1 st glass plate 10 laminated on the entire visible side, a polarizing plate 20, and a 2 nd glass plate 40 laminated on at least one of the entire upper portion and the entire lower portion.
The flexible laminate 100 shown in fig. 1A includes, in order: the touch sensor layer includes a 1 st glass plate 10 laminated on the entire visible side, a polarizing plate 20, and a touch sensor layer 30 laminated on the entire lower portion of a 2 nd glass plate 40.
The flexible laminate 100 shown in fig. 1B has, in order: the touch sensor layer includes a 1 st glass plate 10 laminated on the entire visible side, a polarizing plate 20, and a touch sensor layer 30 laminated on the entire upper portion with a 2 nd glass plate 40.
The flexible laminate 100 shown in fig. 1C includes, in order: a 1 st glass plate 10 laminated on the entire visible side, a polarizing plate 20, and a touch sensor layer 30 in which a 2 nd glass plate 40 is laminated on the entire upper and entire lower portions.
The 1 st glass plate 10, the polarizing plate 20, the touch sensor layer 30, and the 2 nd glass plate 40 are bonded to each other via an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer (hereinafter, both may be collectively referred to as an adhesive/adhesive layer) described later. The adhesive layer and the adhesive layer are not shown for simplicity.
As shown in fig. 2, the flexible laminate 100 of fig. 1A to 1C is further connected to the lower structure 50 via an adhesive layer (not shown).
[ glass plate ]
The 1 st glass plate 10 of the flexible laminate 100 is laminated over the entire visible side (fig. 1). The 2 nd glass plate 40 of the flexible laminate 100 is laminated on at least one of the entire upper portion and the entire lower portion of the touch sensor layer 30 (fig. 1). Here, the entirety means a substantially entire surface covering the bending portion and the touch function region of the touch sensor layer 30. The 1 st glass plate 10 and the 2 nd glass plate 40 may be formed of the same material or may be formed of different materials. The glass plate used is preferably chemically strengthened glass having excellent strength and light transmittance, and the use of chemically strengthened glass can improve the impact resistance and scratch resistance of the laminate while maintaining flexibility (flexibility).
The 2 nd glass sheet 40 is preferably laminated as close as possible to the lower structure 50. In addition, it is preferable that the number of glass sheets to be laminated is as large as possible. This improves the impact resistance to the substructure. From the above viewpoint, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1A to 1C, the laminate shown in fig. 1A and 1C is preferable, and the laminate shown in fig. 1C is more preferable.
Chemically strengthened glass suitable for the above glass sheet can be obtained by chemical ion exchange treatment of glass. By replacing part of sodium ions and lithium ions on the glass surface with potassium ions having a larger ion radius by chemical ion exchange treatment, the strength of the glass surface can be improved. The surface strength is improved by forming a thinner compressive stress layer. Examples of the glass used for the chemically strengthened glass include aluminosilicate glass, soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, lead glass, alkali barium glass, and aluminoborosilicate glass.
The chemical ion exchange treatment can be performed by immersing the glass in an ion exchange melt heated to a melting point or higher, or by directly applying a paste-like ion exchange melt to the glass. Examples of the ion-exchange melt include potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium phosphate, potassium sulfate, and potassium hydroxide-based ion-exchange melts. Among them, potassium nitrate (330 ℃ C.) is preferable because its melting point is lower than that of glass (usually 500 ℃ C. To 600 ℃ C.), and handling is easy.
The glass can be made thin by etching before the chemical ion exchange treatment. The etching treatment may be performed using hydrofluoric acid or a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and an aqueous ammonium fluoride solution and an organic acid, for example, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, or the like, as a chemical treatment solution. They may be used for etching by spraying, dipping, or the like. The etching treatment may use a gas containing fluorine-containing inert gas, such as CF 4 、C 3 F 8 、C 2 F 6 、XeF 2 He gas or Ar gas of at least 1 kind of the above gases is used as the etching gas. Specifically, the etching can be performed by converting an inert gas containing fluorine diluted with He gas or Ar gas into plasma at atmospheric pressure to release fluorine from the carbon fluoride.
The thickness of the glass plate used in the flexible laminate 100 is, for example, 10 to 100 μm, preferably 15 to 90 μm, and more preferably 20 to 80 μm. When the thickness of the glass plate is 10 μm or more, the impact resistance of the flexible laminate can be improved, and the glass plate is less likely to be broken. When the thickness of the glass plate is 100 μm or less, the flexibility (flexibility) of the flexible laminate can be improved.
Functional layers such as a fingerprint resistant layer and a hard coat layer may be formed on the surface of the glass plate. The functional layer may be formed of an organic material such as an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, a polyester resin, a polyurethane resin, an amide resin, or an epoxy resin, or an inorganic material such as a metal. The thickness of the functional layer may be 0.01 to 10 μm.
[ polarizing plate ]
The polarizing plate 20 of the flexible laminate 100 is bonded to the 1 st glass plate 10 and the touch sensor layer 30 in which the 2 nd glass plate 40 is laminated on the entire lower portion thereof (fig. 1A), or bonded to the 1 st glass plate 10 and the touch sensor layer 30 in which the 2 nd glass plate 40 is laminated on the entire upper portion thereof (fig. 1B), or bonded to the 1 st glass plate 10 and the touch sensor layer 30 in which the 2 nd glass plate 40 is laminated on the entire upper portion thereof and the entire lower portion thereof (fig. 1C) via an adhesive layer.
The polarizing plate may be a linear polarizing plate or a circular polarizing plate. Examples of the linearly polarizing plate include a film containing a stretched film or a stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon, and a polarizer obtained by coating and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound. As the dichroic dye, specifically, iodine or a dichroic organic dye can be used. The dichroic organic dye includes a dichroic direct dye composed of a bisazo compound such as c.i. direct red (DIRECT RED) 39, and a dichroic direct dye composed of a compound such as trisazo or tetrazo.
Examples of the film used as a polarizer, which is obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound, include a film containing a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, such as a layer obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a liquid crystal dichroic dye or a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable liquid crystal. A film obtained by applying 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 stretched film or a stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon.
The linearly polarizing plate may be composed of only a polarizer, or may further include a resin film, a substrate, an alignment film, and a protective layer in addition to the polarizer. The thickness of the linearly polarizing plate is, for example, 1 to 100. Mu.m, preferably 5 to 75 μm, and more preferably 10 to 50 μm.
(1) Linear polarizer having stretched film or layer as polarizer
A description will be given of a linear polarizing plate having a stretched film with a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon as a polarizer. The stretched film having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon as a polarizer can be generally produced through a step of uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol resin film, a step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with the dichroic dye to adsorb the dichroic dye, 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 the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with water after the treatment with the aqueous boric acid solution. The polarizer may be used as it is as a linear polarizing plate, or a sheet obtained by laminating a resin film described later on one or both surfaces thereof may be used as a linear polarizing plate.
The thickness of the polarizer is, for example, 0.1 to 50 μm, preferably 0.5 to 25 μm, and more preferably 1 to 10 μm.
The polyvinyl alcohol resin is 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 (meth) acrylamides having an ammonium group.
The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually 85 to 100 mol%, 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 1000 to 10000, preferably 1500 to 5000.
Next, a description will be given of a linear polarizing plate having a stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon as a polarizer. The stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon as a polarizer can be usually produced through a step of applying a coating liquid containing the above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol resin onto a base film, a step of uniaxially stretching the obtained laminated film, a step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin layer of the uniaxially stretched laminated film with a dichroic dye to adsorb the dichroic dye to produce a polarizer, a step of treating the 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 aqueous boric acid solution. The substrate film may be peeled off from the polarizer as necessary. The material and thickness of the base film may be the same as those of the resin film described later.
The polarizer as the stretched film or the stretched layer may be incorporated in the laminate in a form in which a resin film is bonded to one surface or both surfaces thereof. The resin film can function as a protective film or a retardation layer for polarizers. The resin film may be a thermoplastic resin film. The resin film may be made of polyolefin resins such as chain polyolefin resins (polypropylene resins, etc.) and cyclic polyolefin resins (norbornene resins, etc.); cellulose resins such as triacetyl cellulose; polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate and polybutylene terephthalate; a polycarbonate-based resin; (meth) acrylic resins; or a mixture thereof.
The thickness of the resin film is usually 1 to 100. Mu.m, preferably 5 to 50 μm, and more preferably 10 to 25 μm, from the viewpoint of improving the bendability. The resin film may or may not have a phase difference. The resin film may be bonded to the polarizer using an adhesive layer, for example.
(2) Linear polarizer having polarizer made of film obtained by applying and curing composition containing dichroic dye and polymerizable compound
A description will be given of a linear polarizing plate having a film obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound as a polarizer. Examples of the film used for the polarizer, which is obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable compound, include a film obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye having liquid crystallinity or a composition containing a dichroic dye and a liquid crystal compound onto a substrate. The film may be used as a linear polarizer by peeling off the substrate or together with the substrate, or may be used as a linear polarizer having a resin film on one surface or both surfaces thereof.
The substrate may be a resin film. Examples and thicknesses of the base material may be the same as those exemplified in the description of the resin film described above. The substrate may be a resin film having a hard coating layer, an anti-reflection layer or an antistatic layer on at least one surface. The substrate may be formed with a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer, an antistatic layer, etc. only on the surface of the side where the polarizer is not formed. The substrate may have a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer, an antistatic layer, or the like formed only on the surface of the side on which the polarizer is formed.
Examples of the resin film include the same resin films as those of the above-described linear polarizing plates having a stretched film or a stretched layer as a polarizer. The resin film can be bonded to the polarizer using, for example, an adhesive or an adhesive.
