Problems to be solved by the invention
In recent years, high design performance has been demanded for image display devices, and the shape of the protective panel on the front surface side has gradually changed from a flat shape to a shape in which the end surface or corner portion is curved, a design in which the display portion is curved as a whole, and the like.
However, when an image display device constituent member made of a resin film or the like is adhered to a curved portion using an adhesive sheet, an influence due to rebound of the resin film or the like is likely to occur, and it is difficult to make the adhesive sheet follow the curved portion. The adhesive sheets of patent documents 1 and 2 have been studied on the conventional laminated structure using the flat image display device constituent member, and the reliability of adhesion to the curved member having the curved portion has not been considered.
In addition, when the curved portion of the curved member has irregularities such as a print level difference, the adhesive sheet is more likely to float and peel off from the interface with the irregularities than a flat member. Therefore, a curved member having a curved portion is required to have higher adhesion reliability and level difference following property than conventional ones.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive sheet having excellent curved surface adhesiveness to a curved surface member having a curved portion and excellent durability after the adhesive sheet is adhered to the curved surface member, and capable of adhering without any air bubbles.

From this viewpoint, the peeling distance in the constant load peeling test is preferably 15mm or less, more preferably 12mm or less, and further preferably 8mm or less.
[ method for measuring constant load peeling ]
The constant load peel test was measured by the following method.

The resultant was cut into pieces of Cheng Kuandu mm and 150mm in length, and a region roll of 10mm in width and 100mm in length was pressed against soda lime glass to prepare an adhesive article. In this case, the region to be bonded to the soda lime glass is referred to as a bonding region, and the region other than the bonding region is referred to as a non-bonding region. The above-mentioned adhesive article was subjected to autoclave treatment (temperature: 50 ℃ C., gauge pressure: 0.2MPa, 20 minutes), and then cured at a temperature of 40 ℃ C. For 30 minutes to finally adhere, and the thus-obtained sample was used as a sample for a constant load peel test. Using this sample, soda lime glass was fixed in the horizontal direction in such a manner that the non-adhesive region of the adhesive sheet was hung down in the environment of a temperature of 23 ℃ and a humidity of 50% rh. Thereafter, a load of 0.45N was applied to the longitudinal end of the non-adhesive region of the adhesive sheet for 30 minutes, and the distance of the adhesive region of the adhesive sheet from the soda lime glass during this period was measured as a constant load peeling distance.
By providing the adhesive sheet with the adhesive force, the holding force and the constant load peeling property in the above-described ranges, an adhesive sheet excellent in curved surface adhesiveness and durability can be produced.

By setting the ball number in the inclined ball tack test to the above range, the adhesive sheet roll is not displaced when the adhesive sheet roll is attached to the image display device constituent member, and an adhesive sheet excellent in roll adhesiveness can be produced. The ball number was determined under the conditions of a temperature of 23℃and an inclination angle of 30℃according to the inclination type ball tackiness defined in JIS Z0237:2009.
< residual creep Strain >

As described above, the shear storage modulus (G') is a value obtained when the thickness of the adhesive sheet is 0.6 to 0.8 mm. This is because: in order to accurately measure the shear storage modulus (G') of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, it is necessary to avoid variation in measurement results due to the influence of a measurement tool caused by insufficient thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

In order to adjust the gel fraction of the adhesive sheet to the above range, it is preferable to adjust the composition and molecular weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer to be described later, or to adjust the kind and addition amount of the crosslinking agent (B) and the photopolymerization initiator (C), or to adjust the intensity and cumulative light amount of the active energy rays irradiated. However, the method is not limited to this method.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be a single layer or a plurality of layers, preferably at least 3 layers, more preferably at least 3 layers including a top layer, a bottom layer and an intermediate layer, and particularly preferably at least 3 layers including a top layer and a bottom layer as acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layers. By forming such a layer structure, an adhesive sheet excellent in adhesion suitability such as curved surface adhesion and level difference following property can be produced.
When the adhesive sheet is composed of at least 3 layers of the top layer, the innermost layer and the intermediate layer, the top layer, the innermost layer and the intermediate layer (layers sandwiched between the top layer and the innermost layer) are preferably formed of resin compositions containing (meth) acrylic polymers having different compositions, particularly resin compositions containing (meth) acrylic polymers having different compositions as main components. By forming such a layer structure, wet-heat whitening of the adhesive sheet can be effectively suppressed. The outermost layer and the innermost layer may be formed of resin compositions containing (meth) acrylic polymers having different compositions, particularly, resin compositions containing (meth) acrylic polymers having different compositions as a main component, and preferably, resin compositions containing (meth) acrylic polymers having the same composition.
When the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has at least 3 layers (outermost layer/intermediate layer/innermost layer) in which the outermost layer and the innermost layer are acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layers, the outermost and innermost layers (surfaces to be bonded to the image display device constituent members) are preferably low Tg layers. In addition, the intermediate layer sandwiched by the outermost surface and the innermost surface is preferably a high Tg layer. Further, the low Tg layers used for the top-most layer and the bottom-most layer may have glass transition temperatures (Tg) different from each other, and the top-most layer and the bottom-most layer preferably have the same glass transition temperature, and the top-most layer and the bottom-most layer are particularly preferably the same acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
The aforementioned low Tg layer refers to: the maximum value (glass transition temperature) of the loss tangent (Tan δ) obtained by the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement in the shear mode is usually-10 ℃ or lower, preferably-100 to-15 ℃, and particularly preferably-50 to-20 ℃.
In addition, the high Tg layer refers to: the maximum value (glass transition temperature) of the loss tangent (Tan δ) obtained by the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement in the shear mode is usually higher than-10 ℃, preferably-5 to 20 ℃, particularly preferably 0 to 15 ℃.

By setting the thickness of the outermost layer and the innermost layer to the above-described ranges, an adhesive sheet excellent in adhesion suitability such as curved surface adhesion and level difference absorption and durability can be produced.
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably 50 to 1000. Mu.m, more preferably 60 to 500. Mu.m, particularly preferably 75 to 300. Mu.m.
The adhesive sheet is used for adhering two image display device constituent members, and specifically, can be used for adhering constituent members of image display devices such as personal computers, mobile terminals (PDA), game machines, televisions (TV), car navigation, touch panels, liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) such as stylus pads, plasma Displays (PDP), and electroluminescence displays (ELD).
As the image display device constituent member, more specifically, it is preferable that: of the two image display device constituent members, one is glass and the other is a film, and it is particularly preferable that: the glass is a reinforced glass, and the film is a laminate formed of any one or a combination of two or more selected from the group consisting of a touch sensor, an image display panel, a surface protection panel, a polarizing film, and a retardation film.
In recent years, in image display panels such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), plasma Displays (PDPs), and electroluminescence displays (ELDs), there are many cases where cover glass having a curved surface shape is used from the viewpoint of appearance, but the cover glass is expensive, and when it is intended to suppress a reduction in yield due to a sticking failure, the use of the present adhesive sheet is advantageous in terms of curved surface adhesion, and therefore, it is also effective for cover glass having a curved surface shape.
Examples of the film include resin films containing one or more resins selected from polyester resins, polyolefin resins, (meth) acrylic resins, polyurethane resins, polyethersulfone resins, polycarbonate resins, polysulfone resins, polyether ketone resins, (meth) acrylonitrile resins, cycloolefin resins, epoxy resins, polyimide resins, and cellulose resins as main component resins. At this time, the main component resin means the resin having the highest mass ratio among the resins constituting the resin film, and is the resin having 50 mass% or more, 60 mass% or more, 70 mass% or more, 80 mass% or more, 90 mass% or more, and 95 mass% or more (including 100 mass%) among the resins constituting the resin film.
When the image display device constituent member formed of the resin film or the like is adhered to the cover glass having the curved surface shape via the adhesive sheet, a bending stress conforming to the curved surface shape is continuously applied to the resin film so as to bend the resin film or the like along the curved surface shape of the cover glass. Therefore, since the resin film is continuously applied to the adhesive sheet to restore the flat force, that is, the elastic force, it is difficult to make the adhesive sheet follow the curved portion. Therefore, it is critical to improve the peeling resistance, i.e., the constant load peeling force, when high adhesive force, holding force and predetermined load are continuously applied to the adhesive sheet, to have curved surface adhesiveness and durability after adhesion.
As described above, the present adhesive sheet having the above-described characteristics preferably has an acrylic adhesive layer, and the acrylic adhesive layer is preferably formed of a resin composition containing an acrylic polymer. In the case where the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has 3 layers including the outermost layer and the innermost layer as the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layers, the intermediate layer is preferably formed of a resin composition containing an acrylic polymer.
Hereinafter, a resin composition for forming the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the intermediate layer will be described.
The resin composition contains a (meth) acrylic polymer, preferably a (meth) acrylic polymer, as a main component, and may further contain a crosslinking agent (B), a photopolymerization initiator (C), a silane coupling agent (D), an anticorrosive agent (E), and other additives.
The above-mentioned "main component" means: the (meth) acrylic polymer is contained in an amount of 50% by mass or more, preferably 70% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more, based on the entire resin composition.

Further, the present invention also includes a method of chemically bonding the crosslinking agent (B) to the (meth) acrylic polymer.
Among them, a crosslinking agent having a (meth) acryloyl group is preferable, and from the viewpoint of obtaining adhesion suitability and reliability, a polyfunctional (meth) acrylate is particularly preferable. The term "polyfunctional" as used herein means a functional group having two or more crosslinking properties. The crosslinkable functional group may be 3 or more and 4 or more as needed. The crosslinkable functional group may be protected with a protecting group capable of deprotection.
As the above-mentioned polyfunctional (meth) acrylate, for example, 1, 4-butanediol di (meth) acrylate, glycerol di (meth) acrylate, neopentyl glycol di (meth) acrylate, glycerol glycidyl ether di (meth) acrylate, 1, 6-hexanediol di (meth) acrylate, 1, 9-nonanediol di (meth) acrylate, tricyclodecane dimethanol di (meth) acrylate, bisphenol A polyethoxy di (meth) acrylate, bisphenol A polypropoxy di (meth) acrylate, bisphenol F polyethoxy di (meth) acrylate, ethylene glycol di (meth) acrylate, neopentyl glycol di (meth) acrylate, trimethylol propane trioxyethyl (meth) acrylate, epsilon-caprolactone modified tri (2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, propoxylated pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, ethoxylated pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, propoxylated pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, di (meth) acrylate, polypropylene glycol di (meth) acrylate, di (meth) acrylate, examples of the ultraviolet curable polyfunctional (meth) acrylic monomers include polyester (meth) acrylate, epoxy (meth) acrylate, urethane (meth) acrylate, polyether (meth) acrylate, and the like, as well as ultraviolet curable polyfunctional (meth) acrylic monomers such as tris (acryloyloxyethyl) isocyanurate, pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta (meth) acrylate, tripentaerythritol hexa (meth) acrylate, hydroxypivalate neopentyl glycol di (meth) acrylate, and epsilon-caprolactone adduct of hydroxypivalate neopentyl glycol di (meth) acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, trimethylolpropane polyethoxy tri (meth) acrylate, and ditrimethylolpropane tetra (meth) acrylate. They may be 1 or 2 or more in combination. Among them, propoxylated pentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate and polypropylene glycol di (meth) acrylate are preferable.
The content of the crosslinking agent (B) is usually 0.5 to 50 parts by mass, preferably 1 to 40 parts by mass, particularly preferably 5 to 30 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer. If the content is within the above range, adhesion suitability and reliability can be easily obtained, and thus it is preferable.
[ photopolymerization initiator (C) ]
The resin composition preferably contains a photopolymerization initiator (C). As the photopolymerization initiator (C), conventionally known ones can be suitably used, and among them, a photopolymerization initiator that induces ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 380nm or less is preferable from the viewpoint of easiness of control of the crosslinking reaction.
Photopolymerization initiators (C) are roughly classified into two types according to a radical generation mechanism: a cleavage type photopolymerization initiator capable of cleaving and decomposing a single bond of the photopolymerization initiator itself to generate a radical; and a hydrogen abstraction type photopolymerization initiator capable of transferring hydrogen of a hydrogen donor by forming an excitation complex with the hydrogen donor in the system by the photopolymerization initiator excited by light.
When the cleavage type photopolymerization initiator generates radicals by irradiation with light, it is decomposed to form other compounds, and once excited, it no longer functions as a reaction initiator. Therefore, it is preferable that the cured product such as the adhesive after the completion of the crosslinking reaction does not remain as an active species, and unexpected photodegradation or the like is not likely to occur in the cured product.
On the other hand, the hydrogen abstraction type photopolymerization initiator is useful in that it does not generate decomposition products such as a cleavage type photopolymerization initiator when it generates a reaction of radicals by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays, and therefore is less likely to become volatile after the completion of the reaction, and damage to an adherend can be reduced.
Examples of the cleavage type photopolymerization initiator include 2, 2-dimethoxy-1, 2-diphenylethane-1-one, 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-propane-1-one, and 1- (4- (2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl) -2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-propane-1-one, 2-)Hydroxy group-1- [4- {4- (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propionyl) benzyl } phenyl]-2-methyl-propan-1-one, oligo (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1- (4- (1-methylvinyl) phenyl) propanone), phenylglyoxylic acid methyl ester, 2-benzyl-2-dimethylamino-1- (4-morpholinophenyl) butan-1-one, 2-methyl-1- [4- (methylthio) phenyl]-2-morpholinopropan-1-one, 2- (dimethylamino) -2- [ (4-methylphenyl) methyl]-1- [4- (4-morpholinyl) phenyl ]]-1-butanone, bis (2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyl) benzenePhosphine oxides, 2,4, 6-trimethylbenzoyl diphenyl phosphine oxides, derivatives thereof, and the like. Among them, oligo (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1- (4- (1-methylvinyl) phenyl) propanone is preferable.
Examples of the hydrogen abstraction photopolymerization initiator include benzophenone, 4-methylbenzophenone, 2,4, 6-trimethylbenzophenone, 4-phenylbenzophenone, 3' -dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone, methyl 2-benzoylbenzoate, methyl benzoylformate, bis (2-phenyl-2-oxoacetic acid) oxydivinyl, 4- (1, 3-acryl-1, 4,7,10, 13-pentaoxo-tridecyl) benzophenone, thioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, 3-methylthioxanthone, 2, 4-dimethylthioxanthone, 2-methylanthraquinone, 2-ethylanthraquinone, 2-t-butylanthraquinone, 2-aminoanthraquinone, derivatives thereof, and the like. Among them, 4-methylbenzophenone and 2,4, 6-trimethylbenzophenone are preferable.
The photopolymerization initiator (C) is not limited to the above-listed ones. The photopolymerization initiator (C) may be either a cleavage type photopolymerization initiator or a hydrogen abstraction type photopolymerization initiator, or may be used in combination.
The content of the photopolymerization initiator (C) is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 0.2 to 5 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 0.3 to 3 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer.
By setting the content of the photopolymerization initiator (C) to the above range, appropriate reaction sensitivity with respect to active energy rays can be obtained.
[ silane coupling agent (D) ]
In order to improve the adhesion to the image display device constituent member, particularly to glass, it is preferable to blend the silane coupling agent (D) into the resin composition. Among them, the resin composition forming the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in contact with the image display device constituent member preferably contains a silane coupling agent (D).
Examples of the silane coupling agent (D) include compounds having an unsaturated group such as a vinyl group, an acryloxy group, or a methacryloxy group, an amino group, an epoxy group, or the like, and having a hydrolyzable functional group such as an alkoxy group.
Examples of the silane coupling agent (D) include N- (2-aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, N- (2-aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyl methyl dimethoxy silane, 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane, 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane, and 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane. They may be used singly or in combination of 2 or more. Among them, 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane is preferable from the viewpoints of good adhesion to the constituent members of the image display device, less discoloration such as yellowing, and the like.
The content of the silane coupling agent (D) is preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, particularly preferably 0.2 to 3 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer.
In addition, as in the case of the silane coupling agent (D), a coupling agent such as an organic titanate compound can be effectively used.
[ Metal Corrosion inhibitor (E) ]
The resin composition further preferably contains a metal corrosion inhibitor (E). Among them, the metal corrosion inhibitor (E) is preferably contained in the resin composition of the acrylic adhesive layer in contact with the image display device constituent member forming the double-sided adhesive sheet.
Examples of the metal corrosion inhibitor (E) include benzotriazole compounds, benzimidazole compounds, benzothiazole compounds, and other triazole derivatives.
The metal corrosion inhibitor (E) is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of benzotriazole-based compounds, 1,2, 3-triazoles and 1,2, 4-triazoles. Among them, triazole derivatives such as 1,2, 3-triazole and 1,2, 4-triazole are preferable, and 1,2, 3-triazole is particularly preferable, because it is excellent in reliability as a double-sided adhesive sheet in addition to metal corrosion resistance.
The content of the metal corrosion inhibitor (E) is preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, more preferably 0.03 to 1 part by mass, particularly preferably 0.05 to 0.5 part by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the (meth) acrylic polymer, from the viewpoints of the bleeding of the metal corrosion inhibitor, the metal corrosion inhibiting effect, and the like.
[ other additives ]
In addition to the above components, other additives may be contained in the resin composition. Examples of the other additives include various additives such as a light stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a metal deactivator, an antioxidant, an antistatic agent, a hygroscopic agent, a foaming agent, a defoaming agent, inorganic particles, a viscosity modifier, a tackifying resin, a photosensitizer, and a fluorescent agent; a reaction catalyst (tertiary amine compound, quaternary ammonium compound, tin laurate compound, etc.), and the like. They may be used singly or in combination of 2 or more.
In addition, other known components which are generally blended into the binder-forming resin composition may be appropriately contained.
The resin composition is obtained by mixing a predetermined amount of a (meth) acrylic polymer, a crosslinking agent (B), a photopolymerization initiator (C), a silane coupling agent (D), a metal corrosion inhibitor (E), and other additives, as required. The method of mixing the above components is not particularly limited, and the order of mixing the components is not particularly limited. In addition, the heat treatment step may be added at the time of producing the resin composition, and in this case, it is preferable to mix the components of the resin composition in advance and then perform the heat treatment. In the above mixing, a substance in which various mixed components are concentrated to prepare a master batch can be used.
The mixing method is not particularly limited, and for example, a universal mixer, a planetary mixer, a Banbury mixer, a kneader, a gate valve mixer, a pressure kneader, a three-roll mill, a two-roll mill, or the like can be used. When mixing the components of the resin composition, a solvent may be used for mixing as needed. In addition, the resin composition may also be used in the form of a solvent-free system containing no solvent. The use of the solvent-free system provides the advantages of no residual solvent, improved heat resistance and light resistance.
[ method for producing adhesive sheet ]
Hereinafter, the method for producing the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is described, but the method is not limited thereto. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be a single layer or a plurality of layers, and preferably has a multilayer structure, and more preferably has at least 3 layers in which the outermost layer and the innermost layer are acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layers. Typically, the present adhesive sheet is preferably manufactured in the form of an adhesive sheet with a release film having a structure in which the present adhesive sheet and the release film are laminated by the following steps. The pre-curing in the following steps may be omitted.
The release film may be laminated on only one side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, or may be laminated on both sides.
As a material of the release film, a known release film can be suitably used.
As the material of the release film, for example, a film obtained by coating a silicone resin on a film such as a polyester film, a polyolefin film, a polycarbonate film, a polystyrene film, an acrylic film, a cellulose triacetate film, a fluororesin film, a release paper, or the like can be suitably selected and used.
The release film may have other layers such as an antistatic layer, a hard coat layer, an anchor layer, and the like as required.
In the case where the release films are laminated on both sides of the adhesive sheet, one release film and the other release film may have the same laminated structure and/or material, or may have different laminated structures and/or materials. In addition, the thickness may be the same or different.
In addition, release films having different peeling forces and release films having different thicknesses may be laminated on both sides of the adhesive sheet.
The thickness of the release film is not particularly limited. Among them, from the viewpoints of, for example, workability and handling properties, 10 to 250 μm is preferable, 25 to 200 μm is more preferable, and 35 to 190 μm is even more preferable.
In the case where the adhesive sheet is a single layer, for example, the release film is coated with a substance obtained by heating and melting (hot-melting) the resin composition, and the release film is sandwiched between other release films and heated, thereby obtaining an adhesive sheet with a release film. In the case where the present adhesive sheet is a multilayer, the adhesive sheet having a multilayer structure can be obtained by preparing the number of adhesive sheets with release films corresponding to the layers required for the adhesive sheet by the above method, peeling off the release films, and laminating the adhesive sheets.
In the case where the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a multilayer structure, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a multilayer structure can be produced by repeating the operations of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by applying the resin composition to a release sheet, forming a resin layer by further applying another resin composition to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the like. In addition, instead of the release sheet, an adhesive sheet may be formed by applying a resin composition to an adherend. Further, the adhesive sheet can be produced by a method of simultaneously forming the resin composition into a plurality of layers by multilayer coating and coextrusion molding.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be formed by, for example, injecting a resin composition into a mold, instead of using a release film or an adherend as described above.
Further, the adhesive sheet can be produced by directly filling the resin composition between the image display device constituent members as the adherend.
The obtained adhesive sheet is preferably pre-cured by active energy ray crosslinking in such a manner as to have a latent active energy ray reactivity, in other words, in such a manner as to remain active energy ray reactivity. In the case of pre-curing, the active energy rays may be irradiated through the release film to crosslink the layers by the active energy rays. In this case, the degree of crosslinking of the active energy rays (gel fraction) can be adjusted by controlling the irradiation amount of the active energy rays, but as described above, the degree of crosslinking of the active energy rays (gel fraction) can also be adjusted by blocking a part of the active energy rays by irradiating ultraviolet rays through the release film.
The adhesive sheet thus obtained was an optically transparent adhesive sheet. The term "optically transparent" as used herein means that the total light transmittance is 80% or more, preferably 85% or more, and more preferably 90% or more.
The haze value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and particularly preferably 3% or less.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is generally in a state of a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with a release film in which acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both sides are sandwiched between release films. When the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used, the release film may be peeled off from the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be adhered to the image display constituent member.
[ laminate for image display device ]
A laminate for an image display device (referred to as a "laminate for an image display device") as an example of an embodiment of the present invention has a structure in which two image display device constituent members are laminated with the adhesive sheet interposed therebetween.
Of the two image display device constituent members, it is preferable that: one is a cover glass having a curved shape, and the other is any one member selected from the group consisting of a touch sensor, an image display panel, a surface protective film, an antireflection film, a color filter, a polarizing film, and a phase difference film, or a member formed of a combination of 2 or more.
