Description

  The present invention relates to a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that fixes an optical film used in an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display to another member.

  Image display devices such as liquid crystal displays are used in a wide range of fields including word processors and personal computers, and in particular, electronic notebooks, mobile phones, PHS, smartphones, game machines, electronic books, and the like have become increasingly smaller. It has come to be used as a display device for electronic equipment. In these image display devices, in an image display module such as an LCD module, a configuration in which a backlight module and a display panel such as an LCD panel provided on the surface are fixed with an adhesive tape is widely used. An optical film such as a prism sheet is often provided on the surface layer fixed to the display panel.

  For example, in a sidelight type backlight type liquid crystal display (schematic diagrams shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), generally, a reflector, a light guide plate, a diffusion sheet, etc. are laminated, and an optical film such as a prism sheet is provided on the surface layer, A backlight module provided with a light reflector such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a cold cathode tube, etc., provided with a lamp reflector on the side of the light guide plate, and an LCD panel are laminated. A double-sided adhesive tape (usually punched into a frame shape, the width of which is usually about 0.5 mm to about 10 mm) is sandwiched between the LCD panel and the backlight module. The double-sided adhesive tape may be in contact with only the prism sheet on the surface of the backlight module, or it may be in contact with the prism sheet on the surface of the backlight module and the casing containing the backlight module. It also has a role of fixing a diffusion sheet or the like installed on the lower side of the sheet and a role of preventing the entry of dust and a cushioning property to prevent the above-described parts from cracking due to an impact.

  Further, the adhesive tape is strongly required to have both light shielding properties and light reflection properties in order to block light leaked from the light source and effectively use light. Such an adhesive tape has been studied for improving the characteristics, and an adhesive tape for an LCD module that is thin and has both light-shielding properties and light-reflecting properties is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

  However, in recent years, the adhesive tape used for the part has been exposed to problems that have not been regarded as a problem in the past due to the high performance of electronic devices used, in particular, the thinning and multifunctionality of mobile phones. Yes. As one of them, the internal members have been made thinner along with the thinning of multi-function mobile phones. However, due to the thinning of the optical film, the optical film whose periphery is fixed with double-sided adhesive tape has been tested in the reliability test. There is a problem that the optical film is distorted when left at a high temperature. When illuminated with light passing through such a distorted portion, the image in the LCD panel lacks sharpness. For such a problem, an adhesive tape that suppresses the distortion of the optical film has been proposed, and attempts have been made to suppress the distortion of the optical film while fixing the parts satisfactorily (see Patent Documents 2 to 3). .

  On the other hand, in consideration of the environment, in recent years, it has been desired that the peripheral materials of these image display devices are shifted to materials having reduced VOC (volatile organic compounds), and in particular in the field of these electronic devices, there is a demand. Therefore, conversion from a solvent-based pressure-sensitive adhesive to a water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive was also expected in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. For this reason, realization of the double-sided adhesive tape using the water-based adhesive which can fix between components satisfactorily and can suppress distortion of an optical film suitably was desired.

  The problem of the present invention is that, in an adhesive tape that fixes an optical film that is easily distorted to another member, even when an aqueous adhesive with reduced VOC is used, the member can be suitably fixed, and the distortion of the optical film It is providing the double-sided adhesive tape which can suppress this.

  Furthermore, the halogen content is 0.3%, which makes it difficult to obtain anchoring with the adhesive layer, particularly good reworkability that can be removed when removing a part once bonded at the time of manufacturing failure or repair and performing repair work or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape capable of realizing suitable reworkability even when a support provided with a colored ink layer of less than mass% is used.

In the present invention, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that fixes the optical film and other members,
A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on both sides of the support, and at least the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the optical film is formed from a water-dispersed acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition in which acrylic copolymer emulsion particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium. The acrylic copolymer that forms the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles is a (meth) acrylate having a C 4-8 alkyl group, a carboxyl group-containing monomer, and a nitrogen-containing vinyl. 4 to 8 carbon atoms in the monomer component containing a monomer as a monomer component and containing 2-ethylhexyl acrylate as the (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms to form the acrylic copolymer. The content of (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group of 50 to 98% by mass, a carboxyl group-containing monomer With a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape having a content of 1 to 10% by mass, a nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer having an amide group content of 0.1 to 5% by mass, and a gel fraction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of 10 to 50%, The above problems can be solved.

  The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the present invention uses a water-based pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with reduced VOC, but uses a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a specific composition as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the side to be attached to the optical film. And distortion of the optical film can be suitably suppressed. For this reason, it is possible to suppress a decrease in visibility due to distortion of the optical film even when the optical film is an object to be adhered while having excellent environmental compatibility. It is suitable for fixing between parts, particularly for fixing an optical film and a transparent panel.

It is sectional drawing which shows schematic structure of the LCD module unit which provided the adhesive tape between the LCD panel and the backlight housing | casing. It is an exploded view which shows schematic structure of the LCD module unit which provided the adhesive tape between the LCD panel and the backlight housing | casing. It is a conceptual diagram which shows the measuring method of the distortion prevention property of the optical film in an Example.

  The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention is a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that has pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both sides of a support and is used for fixing an optical film to another member. At least the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the optical film is a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed from a water-dispersed acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition in which acrylic copolymer emulsion particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium. The acrylic copolymer forming the system copolymer emulsion particles contains a predetermined amount of (meth) acrylate having a C 4-8 alkyl group, a carboxyl group-containing monomer, and a nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer as monomer components. 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is contained as a (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and the gel fraction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is 10 to 50%.

[Adhesive layer]
In the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the optical film is formed by crosslinking a water-dispersed acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition in which acrylic copolymer emulsion particles are dispersed in an aqueous medium. It is an agent layer. The acrylic copolymer forming the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles is a monomer component comprising a (meth) acrylate having a C 4-8 alkyl group, a carboxyl group-containing monomer, and a nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer. Quantitatively contained, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is contained as the (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms. In the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is used as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to be laminated with the colored layer surface of the support, so that it is suitable for a glass panel even when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is an aqueous pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. In addition to achieving good adhesion, the anchoring between the support and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer becomes good, and suitable reworkability can be realized.

  In the present invention, (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms is used as a monomer component of the acrylic copolymer, and 2 as a (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms. -Contains ethylhexyl acrylate. By using 2-ethylhexyl acrylate as a monomer component, it is possible to realize a suitable peelability between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the adherend, and a suitable adhesiveness with the colored layer, which is suitable for the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. Reworkability can be imparted. In addition, by using 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, when a tackifying resin is used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, compatibility with the tackifying resin is easily improved, and adhesion with a substrate or an adherend is facilitated. It becomes easy to improve the property.

  In addition, in combination with 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, by using a (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms other than 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, the strong adhesiveness is improved while maintaining reworkability. Can do. Examples of (meth) acrylates having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms other than 2-ethylhexyl acrylate include n-butyl (meth) acrylate, isobutyl (meth) acrylate, t-butyl (meth) acrylate, and isooctyl (meth) acrylate. (Meth) acrylates such as n-octyl (meth) acrylate can be used, among which acrylate monomers having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms are preferable, and n-butyl acrylate is particularly preferable.

  In the present invention, the 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and the (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms can be expressed more suitably in the monomer component forming the acrylic copolymer. The content of the (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms including ethylhexyl acrylate is preferably 50 to 98 mass% in the monomer component forming the acrylic copolymer, and is preferably 80 to 98 mass%. % Is particularly preferable. Further, among (meth) acrylates having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, content of (meth) acrylate having 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and other alkyl groups having 4 to 8 carbon atoms other than 2-ethylhexyl acrylate Is preferably 9/1 to 2/8 in mass ratio represented by (2-ethylhexyl acrylate / other (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group having 4 to 8 carbon atoms), 75/25 It is particularly preferred that it is ˜25 / 75. By keeping the content of these monomer components in this range, it is easy to suppress the adhesion between the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the adherend over time while maintaining suitable co-adhesiveness, and the adhesive force is not likely to increase excessively. , Suitable reworkability can be maintained over time.

  In the present invention, (meth) acrylate monomers other than those described above may be used in combination as the (meth) acrylate monomer that forms the acrylic copolymer. Examples of other (meth) acrylate monomers include (meth) acrylate monomers such as methyl (meth) acrylate and ethyl (meth) acrylate, and one or more of these may be used in combination. . Especially, it is preferable to use together (meth) acrylate which has a C2-C2 alkyl group, such as methyl (meth) acrylate and ethyl (meth) acrylate, and it is preferable that it is 1-10 mass% as usage-amount. .

  In the present invention, a carboxyl group-containing monomer is used in order to increase the cohesive force within and between the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles. As the carboxyl group-containing monomer, one or more selected from carboxyl group-containing vinyl monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, phthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, and crotonic acid are used. it can. Among them, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid are easy to ensure cohesive force by interaction between carboxyl groups, and there are many means for increasing cohesive force with many reactive crosslinking agents, and can express interaction with nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer described later. And the like.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, acrylic acid tends to be oriented in the vicinity of the particle surface and methacrylic acid is oriented inside the particle by using acrylic acid having relatively high hydrophilicity and methacrylic acid that is more hydrophobic than acrylic acid. The acid groups can be arranged in a well-balanced manner on the surface and inside of the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles. The presence of acid groups in the vicinity of the particle surface can ensure cohesion between emulsion particles, and the presence of acid groups present in the particles can improve cohesion within emulsion particles. Thereby, the obtained pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can reduce a portion having a low cohesive force and can suitably suppress deterioration of reworkability with time. .

  The content of the carboxyl group-containing monomer is 0.5 to 10% by mass, preferably 0.5 to 5% by mass, more preferably 1.5 to 3.5% by mass in the monomer component forming the acrylic copolymer. %. By setting it within this range, the crosslinking reaction with the crosslinking agent easily proceeds well. Furthermore, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed, a cohesive force suitable for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is ensured, and it is easy to achieve both reworkability and strong adhesiveness.

  When acrylic acid and methacrylic acid are used in combination as the carboxyl group-containing monomer, the combined ratio is preferably a methacrylic acid / acrylic acid molar equivalent ratio of 1 or more, more preferably 1.3 or more. Preferably, it is 2 or more. By setting the combined ratio within the above range, the amount of surface acid groups and the amount of internal acid groups in the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles can be suitably controlled, and it becomes easier to realize better reworkability.

  In the present invention, a nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer is further used as the monomer component of the acrylic copolymer. The nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer is presumed to produce an effect of drawing a carboxyl group that is easily oriented on the particle surface into the particle by interacting with an acid group, particularly a carboxyl group, in the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles. The content of the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer is 0.1 to 4.5% by mass, preferably 0.5 to 4% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 3.5% by mass. The effects of the invention can be suitably expressed. On the other hand, when the content is increased, the reactivity with the crosslinking agent described later tends to decrease, but by setting the content to the upper limit or less, necessary reactivity can be ensured. When the content is within this range, the acid group distribution in the acrylic copolymer emulsion particles can be easily converged to a suitable distribution range.

  As the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer, a nitrogen-containing monomer having an amide group can be preferably used. Compared with amine-based nitrogen-containing monomer groups, nitrogen-containing monomers having an amide group do not have too strong interaction with acid groups, and can suitably maintain cohesive force in emulsion particles and interaction between particles, Since cohesive force as a pressure-sensitive adhesive is easily obtained, suitable adhesiveness and reworkability are easily obtained. As the nitrogen-containing monomer having an amide group, for example, one or more selected from N-vinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylcaprolactam, acryloylmorpholine, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, and N, N-dimethylacrylamide can be used.

  The ratio of the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer and the vinyl monomer having a carboxyl group in the acrylic copolymer is not particularly limited, but the number of moles of the nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer in the monomer component constituting the acrylic copolymer. Is X, and the molar ratio X / Y is preferably from 1/1 to 1/20, more preferably from 1/1 to 1/5, where Y is the number of moles of the vinyl monomer having a carboxyl group. 1-1 / 3 is more preferable. If it is in the said range, reaction with the vinyl monomer which has a carboxyl group, and the crosslinking agent mentioned later will advance easily. Furthermore, it becomes easy to converge the distribution of carboxyl groups in the acrylic copolymer emulsion to a range described later.

  In the acrylic copolymer used in the present invention, monomers other than those described above can be used as necessary. Examples of such monomers include a hydroxyl group-containing monomer, (meth) acrylic acid 2-hydroxy Alcoholic hydroxyl group-containing monomers such as ethyl, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate, and the like can be used as appropriate.

Moreover, N methylol acrylamide etc. are mentioned as a methylol group containing monomer. Examples of the phosphoric acid group-containing monomer include Sipomer PAM-100, PAM-200, and PAM-300 manufactured by Rhodia Nikka Co., Ltd., and 20% by mass or less in the monomer component forming the acrylic copolymer. It can be used at a ratio of 1 type or 2 types or more.

  The weight average molecular weight of the acrylic copolymer used in the present invention is preferably 500 to 1,200,000, more preferably 60 to 1,000,000. By setting it as the said range, the softness | flexibility at the time of an adhesive impregnating a nonwoven fabric and cohesion force required for rework property can be reconciled in balance. The said weight average molecular weight is standard polystyrene conversion by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC). As measurement conditions, TSKgel GMHXL [manufactured by Tosoh] is used as the column, the column temperature is 40 ° C., the eluent is tetrahydrofuran, the flow rate is 1.0 mL / min, and the standard polystyrene is TSK standard polystyrene.

It is an agent layer. In the present invention, by using the composition having the above composition and using the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a gel fraction in the above range, it is possible to suitably fix the parts and to suppress the distortion of the optical film satisfactorily. What is necessary is just to adjust content suitably for the gel fraction of an adhesive layer according to the crosslinking agent to be used. Moreover, the gel fraction uses the value of the gel fraction for measuring the insoluble matter after the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is immersed in toluene for 24 hours.

(Additive)
In the water-dispersed acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition used in the present invention, as an additive, a base (such as aqueous ammonia) for adjusting the pH within a range that does not impair the desired effect of the present invention, if necessary, Acids, plasticizers, softeners, antioxidants, fillers such as glass and plastic fibers, balloons, beads, and metal powders, colorants such as pigments and dyes, pH adjusters, film formation aids, leveling agents, Known agents such as thickeners, water repellents and antifoaming agents can be optionally added to the adhesive composition.

  As for the thickness of an adhesive layer, 5-50 micrometers is preferable, More preferably, it is 10-30 micrometers. If it is 5 μm or more, sufficient adhesiveness can be obtained, and if it is 50 μm or less, it can be suitably applied to a display device and the like that are becoming lighter and thinner.

[Support]
The support used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and various supports used for fixing the image display device peripheral member can be used. The support may be, for example, a support made of only a resin film, or a support in which a colored layer is provided on the resin film. However, the optical film and other members are fixed, particularly the optical film and the transparent panel. Since the light-shielding performance and the light-reflecting performance are often required for fixing, it is easy to realize good light-shielding performance and light-reflecting performance, and therefore a support provided with a colored layer on the resin film can be preferably used. .

  As the resin film used for the support, a known and commonly used resin film can be used, and examples thereof include cellophane, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polystyrene, polyimide, and polyester. Among these, polyester is preferably used because it is excellent in strength and insulation. Polyethylene terephthalate can be preferably used because it has good adhesion to an ink layer using a polyurethane resin.

  As thickness of the resin film used as a support body, 6-100 micrometers is preferable. When the thickness is 6 μm or more, the film is hardly cracked at the time of peeling, and when it is 100 μm or less, peeling is hardly generated at the time of application to the adherend. More preferably, it is 12-50 micrometers.

  Further, the resin film itself may be colored white or black, and when the resin film is a light-reflecting white resin film, the brightness of the image display can be reduced when used for the image display unit of the image display device. Since it can raise, it is preferable. Of these, white polyethylene terephthalate having insulating properties and light diffuse reflection properties is most preferred. Moreover, it is preferable in order to raise the contrast of an image display apparatus that a resin film is a black resin film which has light-shielding property. Among them, black polyethylene terephthalate is preferable because it can provide excellent light shielding properties.

  When providing a colored layer on these resin films, it is preferable to use colored ink. As the colored ink used for the colored layer, a colored ink used for a colored tape such as a light-shielding tape or a light reflecting tape used for fixing the peripheral member of the image display device can be appropriately used. Especially, the halogen content of a colored layer is 0.3 mass% or less, Preferably it is 0.05 mass% or less, and the thing which does not contain a halogen substantially is especially preferable. Such a colored layer with a reduced halogen content uses colored ink that does not use halogen- or sulfur-containing resins such as vinyl chloride resin as the binder resin, and therefore, anchoring of the adhesive layer is particularly obtained. However, when the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is high, it is difficult to obtain reworkability, but the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive layer used in the present invention is suitable for adhesion and reworking even if it is a colored layer having a low halogen content. Can be realized. Here, the halogen content is a detection amount when analyzed by fluorescent X-rays. For example, as a fluorescent X-ray analyzer, “ZSX Primus”, “ZSX Primus II”, etc. manufactured by Rigaku are listed.

  As the colored ink having a reduced halogen content, a colored ink that does not use a halogen- or sulfur-containing resin such as a vinyl acetate resin as a binder resin can be preferably used. As such a binder resin, for example, polyurethane resin, polyester resin, polyamide resin, acrylic resin, nitrocellulose and the like can be used. Among them, a polyurethane resin can be preferably used, and a polyester urethane resin can be particularly preferably used from the viewpoint of the adhesiveness with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the adhesiveness with the resin film on which the colored layer is laminated.

  When a polyester urethane resin is used as the binder resin, the polyester urethane resin preferably has a glass transition temperature of -30 ° C to 30 ° C, more preferably -20 ° C to 30 ° C, and -15 ° C. More preferably, it is -25 degreeC, and it is especially preferable that it is -10 degreeC-25 degreeC. When the tan δ peak temperature of the polyester urethane resin is within this range, the colored layer has suitable flexibility and hardness, so that it is particularly difficult to cause cracks in the colored layer during rework, and the ink flow at high temperatures. It is difficult for peeling to occur.

The glass transition temperature of the polyester urethane resin is defined as the glass transition temperature, which is the tan δ peak temperature of the dynamic viscoelastic spectrum at a frequency of 1 Hz measured as follows.
Polyester urethane resin is formed to a thickness of 50 μm with a bar coater. Next, from a specimen cut to a sample length of 20 mm (sample length of 20 mm, film thickness of 50 μm) using a viscoelasticity tester from −150 ° C. to 250 ° C. at a frequency of 1 Hz and a temperature increase time of 3 ° C./1 minute.

Examples of the viscoelasticity tester include DMS210, DMS220, and DMS6100 manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc.

  The colored ink used in the colored layer contains a curing agent used in ordinary inks, but it is also preferable to contain an aliphatic or alicyclic isocyanate curing agent as the curing agent. By cross-linking polyester urethane having a glass transition temperature of −30 ° C. to 30 ° C. and aliphatic or alicyclic isocyanate forming a relatively flexible cross-linked structure, it is easy to control the elastic modulus, and the flow of ink at high temperature It becomes easy to suppress peeling of the ink interface and the pressure-sensitive adhesive interface caused by. Further, since it is easy to obtain a suitable elastic modulus, it is difficult to crack the ink layer at the time of reworking, and it is easy to obtain an effect that the occurrence of tape tearing hardly occurs.

  Examples of the aliphatic or alicyclic isocyanate include hexamethylene diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, trimethylhexamethylene isocyanate, 1,6,11-undecane triisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate, lysine ester triisocyanate, 1,8-diisocyanate-4. -Isocyanatomethyloctane, 1,3,6-hexamethylene triisocyanate, bicycloheptane triisocyanate are used. Further, trimers of these isocyanates can be preferably used, and among them, diisocyanate adducts, biurets, and nurates are preferable. Among these, hexamethylene diisocyanate or isophorone diisocyanate adduct, biuret, or nurate is preferable because the elastic modulus is easily controlled, and biuret or nurate is particularly preferable. A hardening | curing agent may be added independently and may add 2 or more types.

  As the colorant for coloring the color ink, known and conventional pigments and dyes not containing halogen can be used. When black, carbon black, when white, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, yellow In the case of yellow iron oxide, red is red pepper, cyan is blue, blue is aluminum powder, and pearl is mica titanium powder from the viewpoint of weather resistance, heat resistance, and dispersibility in ink resins. When the colored layer is a light shielding layer, those capable of forming a black ink layer are preferred, and carbon black is preferred because of its excellent light shielding properties. Moreover, when making a colored layer into a light reflection layer, what can form a white ink layer is preferable, and a titanium oxide can be used preferably.

Antiblocking agents such as silica, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, talc, etc., and organic compound antiblocking agents such as polyethylene wax (PE wax), fatty acid amide, fatty acid ester, higher fatty acid should be used. Is preferred. The particle-based anti-blocking agent prevents the blocking by forming irregularities on the surface of the ink layer and reducing the contact area between the ink surface and the back surface. On the other hand, the organic compound-based antiblocking agent prevents blocking by bleeding out on the surface of the ink layer. Therefore, it is preferable to use a particle-based anti-blocking agent and an organic compound-based anti-blocking agent in combination.

On the other hand, the addition amount of the organic blocking inhibitor is preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass with respect to the ink solid content. Among these, 2-7 mass% is more preferable. If it is 0.5 mass% or more, the effect of blocking prevention is acquired suitably, and the adhesiveness and rework property with an adhesive will become favorable in it being 10 mass% or less. Moreover, you may contain other various additives as needed.

  What is necessary is just to adjust the thickness of a colored layer suitably according to a desired characteristic. For example, when the colored layer is a light-shielding layer, 1 to 10 μm is preferable and 3 to 7 μm is more preferable from the viewpoint of light-shielding properties and workability at the time of tape punching. In addition, it is preferable to make an ink layer into a low elasticity modulus from a viewpoint of rework property, so that the thickness of ink is thick.

  The colored layer may be a single layer, but two or more layers may be laminated depending on the desired concealability, light reflectivity, and light shielding property. In particular, when the colored layer is a light shielding layer, it is preferable to provide two or more colored layers in order to improve the light shielding property and prevent light leakage due to pinholes.

  The support used in the present invention may have a structure having a colored layer on only one surface of the resin film or a structure having a colored layer on both surfaces of the resin film, and can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose of use.
