[Embodiment 1 (laminate (1) and method for manufacturing the same]]
(Laminate (1))
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of the laminate (1). In the figure, W represents the width direction. The laminated body (1) 41 is, as shown in FIG.
The first base material layer 11, the first functional layer 12, the adhesive layer 30, the second functional layer 22, and the second base material layer 21 are included in this order,
At least one end of the laminated body (1) 41 in the width direction has the following positions [a] to [c]:
[A] The same as the position of the end of the first base material layer 11 or inside the position in the width direction,
[B] is outside the position of the end of the first functional layer 12 in the width direction,
[C] Same as the position of the end of the second functional layer 22 or inside the position in the width direction,
Meet all relationships.
The position of each end described in the above requirements [a] to [c] is a position in the widthwise cross section of the laminate (1) 41, and the relationship between the positions of the end of each layer is defined below. Also in the case, it is the position in the cross section in the width direction of the laminate (1) 41.
The layered product (1) 41 may be a sheet-shaped film or a long film.

The 1st base material layer 11 has a function as a support layer which supports the 1st functional layer 12 formed on it, or a protective layer which protects the 1st functional layer 12.
The 2nd base material layer 21 has a function as a support layer which supports the 2nd functional layer 22 formed on it, or a protective layer which protects the 2nd functional layer 22.
Each of the first base material layer 11 and the second base material layer 21 may be a layer in which a plurality of films are laminated. The first base material layer 11 may be a layer having a film having a polarization function.
In the present embodiment, the first base material layer 11 may be a film exhibiting releasability, and when it is a film exhibiting releasability, it can be peeled off from the first functional layer 12. The second base material layer 21 may be a film exhibiting releasability, and in the case of a film exhibiting releasability, it can be peeled off from the second functional layer 22.

  Examples of the first functional layer 12 include a thin film layer exhibiting optical characteristics such as polarization characteristics and optical compensation functions, a layer forming a touch sensor, and the like, and may be a resin film or a liquid crystal layer. Good. The first functional layer 12 is preferably a liquid crystal layer containing a liquid crystal compound (hereinafter, the first functional layer 12 which is a liquid crystal layer may be referred to as “first liquid crystal layer”). The first liquid crystal layer may be, for example, a cured film formed by polymerizing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound. The first functional layer 12 is preferably a retardation layer, a touch sensor layer or a polarizing layer, more preferably a retardation layer.

  Examples of the second functional layer 22 include a thin film layer that exhibits optical characteristics such as polarization characteristics and optical compensation functions, and a layer that constitutes a touch sensor. The second functional layer 22 may be a resin film or a liquid crystal layer. Good. The second functional layer 22 is preferably a liquid crystal layer containing a liquid crystal compound (hereinafter, the second functional layer 22 which is a liquid crystal layer may be referred to as “second liquid crystal layer”). Similarly to the first liquid crystal layer, the second liquid crystal layer may be a cured film formed by polymerizing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, for example. The second functional layer 22 is preferably a retardation layer, a touch sensor layer, a polarizing layer, and more preferably a retardation layer.

The adhesive layer 30 adheres the second functional layer 22 to the first base material layer 11 and the first functional layer 12. At least one end in the width direction of the laminated body (1) 41, the position of the end of the adhesive layer 30 satisfies all of the relationships [a] to [c] described above.
Specifically, in the cross section in the width direction of the laminate (1) 41, the end portion of the adhesive layer 30 is located at the same position as the end portion of the first base material layer 11 or inward in the width direction, and has the first function. It is located outside the end of the layer 12 in the width direction, and is located at the same position as the end of the second functional layer 22 or inside the width thereof.

  At least one end in the width direction of the laminated body (1) 41 illustrated in FIG. 1, the position of the end of the first base material layer 11 is outside the position of the end of the first functional layer 12 in the width direction. The position of the end of the second base material layer 21 is outside the position of the end of the second functional layer 22 in the width direction. The position of the end of the first base material layer 11 and the position of the end of the second base material layer 21 are the same in at least one end in the width direction of the laminate (1) 41, and the first functional layer The position of the end of 12 is inside the position of the end of the second functional layer 22 in the width direction. The position of the end of the first base material layer 11 and the position of the end of the second base material layer 21 may be different from each other.

The second base material layer 21 can be peeled off from the second functional layer 22, and the second base material layer 21 is peeled off from the laminated body (1) 41 as described later, whereby the laminated body (2) 42 (FIG. 3) can be obtained.
At least one end portion in the width direction of the laminate (1) 41, the end portion of the adhesive layer 30 is located at the same position as the end portion of the second functional layer 22 or located inward in the width direction (see [c above]. By satisfying the relationship []], the adhesive layer 30 can be in a state of not being adhered to the second base material layer 21. Therefore, the second base material layer 21 can be peeled from the laminate (1) 41. Furthermore, at least one end portion in the width direction of the adhesive layer 30 is located at the same position as the end portion of the first base material layer 11 or inside the end portion in the width direction, and more than the end portion of the first functional layer 12. By being located on the outer side in the width direction (the relationship of [a] and [b] above is satisfied), the region including at least one end of the second functional layer 22 has the first base material layer 11 via the adhesive layer 30. It can be in a state of being adhered to. Therefore, the peeling force for separating the laminated body (1) 41 between the adhesive layer 30 and the first base material layer 11 separates between the second functional layer 22 and the second base material layer 21. Is larger than the peeling force of. Due to this difference in peeling force, when the second base material layer 21 is peeled from the laminate (1) 41, it becomes difficult for the adhesive layer 30 and the first base material layer 11 to be separated. While the separation between the first base material layer 11 and the first functional layer 12 is less likely to occur, the separation between the second base material layer 21 and the second functional layer 22 is more likely to occur. Therefore, the 2nd base material layer 21 can be suitably peeled from the laminated body (1) 41.

  On the other hand, like the laminated body 41p shown in FIG. 7, is the position of the widthwise end of the adhesive layer 30p the same as the position of the widthwise end of each of the first functional layer 12p and the second functional layer 22p? When it is on the inner side (when the above [b] is not satisfied), when the second base material layer 21p is tried to be peeled off, the laminated body 41p includes the second base material layer 21p and the second functional layer 22p. There may be a problem that the first base material layer 11p and the first functional layer 12p are not separated from each other and the second base material layer 21 cannot be separated from the laminate 41.

  In the laminated body (1) 41, as described above, the positions of the end portions of the adhesive layer 30 satisfy all of the above relationships [a] to [c], whereby the second base material layer 21 is easily peeled off, and the laminated body Since (1) 41 is easily separated between the second base material layer 21 and the second functional layer 22p, it is easy to obtain a laminate (2) 42 (FIG. 3) described later.

  The layered product (1) 41 shown in FIG. 1 can set the peeling force, which is a force required when separating between specific layers, as follows. The peeling force (i), which is a force required when separating the laminate (1) 41 between the first base material layer 11 and the first functional layer 12, is the peeling force of the laminate (1) 41 to the second base material. It may be equal to or more than the peeling force (ii) which is a force required for separating the layer 21 and the second functional layer 22, and may be equal to or less than the peeling force (ii). The peeling force (iii), which is the force required to separate the laminate (1) 41 between the adhesive layer 30 and the first base material layer 11, is more than the peeling force (i) and the peeling force (ii). It is preferably large. The peeling force can be measured using, for example, a precision universal tester AGS series (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation).

Include in order. As described in the previous embodiment, the laminated body (3) 51 includes the first functional layer 12, the adhesive layer 30, the second'functional layer 22 ', the optical film adhesive layer 36, and the optical film 60 in this order. Including.

The optical layered body 52 has a first'functional layer 12 ', an adhesive layer 30', a second "functional layer 22", and at least one end portion in the width direction thereof, as shown in FIG. 6B, for example. The positions of the respective ends of the optical film adhesive layer 36 are the same. In the optical laminated body 52 shown in FIG. 6B, the position of the end of the optical film 60 is shown outside the position of the end of the adhesive layer 36 for an optical film in the width direction. It may be on the inner side and may be the same as the position of the end of the adhesive layer 36 for an optical film.
The position of each end of each layer forming the optical laminated body 52 is a position in the cross section in the width direction of the optical laminated body 52.

  The first 'functional layer 12', the adhesive layer 30 ', and the second "functional layer 22" included in the optical laminate 52 are the first functional layer 12 and the adhesive layer 30 included in the laminate (3) 51, respectively. , And a layer derived from the second 'functional layer 22'.

  In the method for manufacturing the optical laminated body 52, the laminated body (3) 51 is as described in the above embodiment.

  In the laminated body (3) 51 shown in FIG. 6A, the first base material layer 11 is peelable from the first functional layer 12, but the position of the end portion of the adhesive layer 30 has the first function. It is outside the position of the end of the layer 12 in the width direction. Therefore, in the laminated body (3) 51 shown in FIG. 6A, in the region where the adhesive layer 30 outside the end portion of the first functional layer 12 exists, between the first base material layer 11 and the adhesive layer 30. Is less likely to occur, but the separation between the first base material layer 11 and the first functional layer 12 is likely to occur inside the end portion of the first functional layer.

It is inside the direction. Therefore, when it is attempted to peel off the first base material layer 11 from the laminate (3) 51, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the second'functional layer 22 'becomes the optical film adhesive layer 36. The adhesive layer 30 on the first base material layer 11 side of the second 'functional layer 22' which is divided between the provided region and the non-provided region also has a cross section in the width direction of the laminate (3) 51. The optical film adhesive layer 36 is divided into a portion outside and a portion inside the end portion of the adhesive layer 36 for an optical film. Further, in the first functional layer 12, in the widthwise cross section of the laminate (3) 51, the position of the end of the first functional layer 12 is inside the position of the end of the optical film adhesive layer 36 in the width direction.

The outer region has a region where the adhesive layer 30 is adhered to the first base material layer 11, and the inner region is a region where the first functional layer 12 or a part thereof exists on the first base material layer 11. In the outer region, the separation between the first base material layer 11 and the adhesive layer 30 is unlikely to occur, but in the inner region, the first base material layer 11 can be separated from the first functional layer 12. Separation between the first base material layer 11 and the first functional layer 12 is likely to occur. Therefore, when the first base material layer 11 is peeled off from the laminate (3) 51, an outer region exists in the first base material layer 11 as shown in FIG. The intermediate layer 45 is divided so that the region exists, and the first base material layer and the first functional layer can be separated in the inner region. As a result, it is possible to obtain the optical laminate 52 in which the positions of the ends of the first 'functional layer 12', the adhesive layer 30 ', the second "functional layer 22", and the optical film adhesive layer 36 are the same. .

  In the optical laminate 52, the optical film 60 is a linear polarizing plate, the second "functional layer 22" is a half-wave plate, and the first 'functional layer 12' is a quarter-wave plate. The body 52 can be a circularly polarizing plate. By using the optical film 60 as a linear polarizing plate, the second "functional layer 22" as a quarter wavelength plate having a reverse wavelength dispersion, and the first 'functional layer 12' as a positive C plate, the optical laminate 52 can also be obtained. Can be a circularly polarizing plate.

When a polymerizable liquid crystal compound is used, a composition for forming a liquid crystal layer containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, a solvent and, if necessary, various additives is applied onto the alignment layer to form a coating film, and the coating film is formed. A liquid crystal layer, which is a liquid crystal cured layer, can be formed by curing the. Alternatively, the liquid crystal layer-forming composition may be formed by applying the liquid crystal layer-forming composition onto the base material layer to form a coating film, and stretching the coating film together with the base material layer. The liquid crystal layer may be a retardation layer.

The composition for forming a liquid crystal layer may contain a polymerization initiator, a reactive additive, a leveling agent, a polymerization inhibitor and the like in addition to the above-mentioned polymerizable liquid crystal compound and solvent. As the polymerizable liquid crystal compound, solvent, polymerization initiator, reactive additive, leveling agent, polymerization inhibitor and the like, known compounds can be appropriately used.
The thickness of the liquid crystal layer is usually 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

(Optical film)
As the optical film, a polarizing layer, a polarizing plate having a protective layer formed on at least one surface of the polarizing layer, a polarizing plate with a protective film having a protective film laminated on at least one surface of the polarizing plate, a reflective film, a semi-transmissive reflective film, It may be a brightness enhancement film, an optical compensation film, an antiglare film, a retardation film, or the like, and may have one of these and has a multilayer structure having two or more. May be. Further, the optical film may include a liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal layer may be a retardation layer.

  The polarizing layer that may be included in the optical film may be a single-layer polyvinyl alcohol resin film in which a dichroic dye is adsorbed and oriented, or a dichroic dye is adsorbed and oriented on a substrate film. It may be a laminated film of two or more layers provided with a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer. Further, the polarizing layer may be a cured film obtained by aligning a dichroic dye with a polymerizable liquid crystal compound and polymerizing the polymerizable liquid crystal compound. In this case, the polarizing layer can also be the liquid crystal layer.

  The liquid crystal layer that may be included in the optical film may be formed by polymerizing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound. The liquid crystal layer is formed by coating a composition for forming a liquid crystal layer containing a polymerizable liquid crystal compound on a base material layer or an alignment layer provided on the base material layer, drying the composition, and irradiating an active energy ray such as ultraviolet rays to the polymerizable liquid crystal layer. It can be formed by polymerizing and curing a compound.

(Polarizing layer)
The polarizing layer can be a linear polarizer or a circular polarizer.

(Linear polarizer)
The linear polarizer has a property of transmitting linearly polarized light having an oscillating plane orthogonal to the absorption axis when non-polarized light is incident. The linear polarizer may be a film-type polarizer produced by dyeing and stretching a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. A dichroic dye such as iodine is adsorbed on a PVA-based film oriented by stretching, or stretched in a state of being adsorbed on PVA, whereby the dichroic dye is oriented and exhibits polarization performance. The production of the film-type polarizer may have other steps such as swelling, crosslinking with boric acid, washing with an aqueous solution, and drying. The stretching and dyeing steps may be performed on the PVA-based film alone, or may be performed in a state of being laminated with another film such as polyethylene terephthalate. The PVA film used is preferably 10 to 100 μm, and the draw ratio is preferably 2 to 10 times.

  The film-type polarizer may be used as a linear polarizing plate by providing a protective film described below on at least one surface. When the film-type polarizer is produced by stretching while being laminated with another film, a protective film is attached to the film-type polarizer, and then the substrate is peeled to obtain a linear polarizing plate. Alternatively, the linearly polarizing plate may be obtained by using the stretched substrate as it is as a protective film.

  Further, as another example of the linear polarizer, a liquid crystal coating type polarizer formed by coating a liquid crystal polarizing composition may be used. The liquid crystal polarizing composition may include a liquid crystal compound and a dichroic dye compound. The liquid crystal coating type polarizer can be manufactured by coating the liquid crystal polarizing composition on the alignment film (orientation layer) to form the liquid crystal polarizing layer. The liquid crystal coating type polarizer can be formed thinner than the film type polarizer. The thickness of the liquid crystal coating type polarizer is 0.5 to 10 μm, preferably 1 to 5 μm.

  The alignment film can be produced, for example, by applying the composition for forming an alignment film on a substrate and imparting the alignment property by rubbing, irradiation of polarized light, or the like. The liquid crystal coating type polarizer can be peeled off from the substrate and transferred to be laminated, or can be used in a state where the above substrates are laminated as they are. As the base material, a polymer film exemplified as a protective film described later can be used.

  The liquid crystal coating type polarizer may be used as a linear polarizing plate by providing a protective film described below on at least one surface. In the case where it is manufactured by forming a liquid crystal coating type polarizer on an alignment film, after laminating a protective film on the liquid crystal coating type polarizer, the base material used for forming the alignment film is peeled off. To obtain a linear polarizing plate, or the substrate may be used as it is as a protective film to obtain a linear polarizing plate.

  As the protective film, a transparent polymer film may be used, and the materials and additives used for the base material layer described above can be used. The protective film is preferably a cellulose film, a polyolefin film, an acrylic film, or a polyester film. It may be a coating type protective film obtained by applying a cation-curing composition such as an epoxy resin or a radical-curing composition such as an acrylate and curing the composition. If necessary, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, infrared absorbers, colorants such as pigments and dyes, optical brighteners, dispersants, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, antioxidants, lubricants, solvents, etc. May be included. The protective film may have a thickness of 200 μm or less, preferably 1 μm to 100 μm. If the thickness exceeds 200 μm, the flexibility may decrease.

(Circular polarizing plate)
The circularly polarizing plate is a functional layer having a function of transmitting only the right or left circularly polarized light component by laminating a λ / 4 wavelength plate on a linear polarizer (or a linearly polarizing plate). The circularly polarizing plate, for example, converts external light into right circularly polarized light, blocks the external light that is reflected by the organic EL panel and becomes left circularly polarized light, and transmits only the luminescence component of the organic EL to transmit the reflected light. It is used to suppress the influence and make the image easier to see. In order to achieve the circular polarization function, the absorption axis of the linear polarizer and the slow axis of the λ / 4 wave plate theoretically need to be 45 °, but they are practically 45 ± 10 °. The linear polarizer and the λ / 4 wave plate are not necessarily required to be laminated adjacent to each other, and the relationship between the absorption axis and the slow axis may satisfy the above range. The circularly polarizing plate preferably achieves perfect circularly polarized light at all wavelengths, but this is not always necessary in practice, so the circularly polarizing plate also includes an elliptical polarizing plate.

  A λ / 4 wavelength plate may be further laminated on the viewing side of the linear polarizer (or linear polarizing plate). As a result, the emitted light can be circularly polarized, so that the visibility can be improved when the polarized sunglasses are worn.

  In general, many materials forming the λ / 4 wavelength plate exhibit a large birefringence at shorter wavelengths and a smaller birefringence at longer wavelengths. In this case, since it is difficult to achieve a phase difference of λ / 4 in the entire visible light region, the in-plane position is set so that the phase difference of λ / 4 is achieved for light near the wavelength of 560 nm with high visibility. It is preferable to design the phase difference to be 100 to 180 nm, preferably 130 to 150 nm. It is preferable to use a λ / 4 wavelength plate having a reverse wavelength dispersion property using a material having a birefringence wavelength dispersion property opposite to the usual one because the visibility can be improved. Examples of such a material include JP-A-2007-232873 when the λ / 4 wavelength plate is a stretched retardation layer, and JP-A-2007-232873 when the λ / 4 wavelength plate is a liquid crystal coating type retardation layer. It is also preferable to use those described in 2010-30979.

  There is also known a technique for obtaining a broadband λ / 4 wavelength plate by combining the λ / 4 wavelength plate with a λ / 2 wavelength plate (JP-A-10-90521). The circularly polarizing plate may be a linear polarizer (or a linearly polarizing plate) on which a broadband λ / 4 wavelength plate is laminated. The λ / 2 wave plate is also manufactured by the same material method as that of the λ / 4 wave plate. The λ / 4 wave plate and the λ / 2 wave plate used for the wide band λ / 4 wave plate can be either a stretched retardation layer or a liquid crystal coating type retardation layer, and the combination thereof is arbitrary. It is preferable to use the liquid crystal coating type retardation layer for both of them because the thickness of the circularly polarizing plate can be reduced.

  A method of stacking a positive C plate (positive C plate) on the circularly polarizing plate having the above-described structure is also known for the circularly polarizing plate in order to enhance the visibility in an oblique direction (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2014-224837). . The circularly polarizing plate may be a circularly polarizing plate having the above-described structure further laminated with a positive C plate. The positive C plate may be a liquid crystal coating type retardation layer or a stretched retardation layer. The phase difference in the thickness direction of the positive C plate is −200 to −20 nm, preferably −140 to −40 nm.

(Retardation film)
The retardation film is a film that gives a retardation in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of incident light (in-plane direction of the film). The retardation film may be a stretched retardation film produced by stretching a polymer film such as a cellulose film, an olefin film, a polycarbonate film. The stretched retardation film may have a thickness of 200 μm or less, preferably 1 μm to 100 μm. If the thickness exceeds 200 μm, the flexibility may decrease.

  Another example of the retardation film may be a liquid crystal coating type retardation film formed by coating a liquid crystal composition on a polymer film. The liquid crystal composition contains a liquid crystal compound having a property of exhibiting a liquid crystal state such as nematic, cholesteric, and smectic. Any of the compounds including the liquid crystal compound in the liquid crystal composition has a polymerizable functional group. The liquid crystal coating type retardation film can be produced by coating and curing the liquid crystal composition on the alignment film to form a liquid crystal retardation layer, as in the case of the liquid crystal coating type polarizer.

  The retardation film may be a single layer or a multi-layer, and may be a laminate of a stretched retardation film and a liquid crystal coating type retardation film.

(Touch sensor)
The touch sensor is used as an input means. As the touch sensor, various types such as a resistance film type, a surface acoustic wave type, an infrared type, an electromagnetic induction type, and a capacitance type have been proposed, and any type may be used. Of these, the capacitance method is preferable. The capacitive touch sensor is divided into an active region and a non-active region located outside the active region. The active region is a region corresponding to a region where the screen is displayed on the display panel (display unit), and is a region where the user's touch is sensed, and the inactive region is a region where the screen is not displayed on the display device (non-display region). This is an area corresponding to the display part). The touch sensor includes a substrate having flexible characteristics; a sensing pattern formed in an active region of the substrate; formed in an inactive region of the substrate and connected to an external driving circuit through the sensing pattern and a pad unit. Each sensing line can be included. As the substrate having flexible characteristics, the same material as the polymer film base material of the front plate can be used. Further, by making the base material peelable, it is possible to transfer only the touch sensor portion to the laminated body for use.

(Peeling film)
The release film supports the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and has a function as a separator that can be peeled from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Examples of the release film include a film having a release treatment such as silicone treatment applied to the surface of the base film on the side supporting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. As the resin material forming the base material film, the same material as the resin material forming the first base material layer and the second base material layer can be used. The resin film may have a one-layer structure or a multilayer resin film having a multilayer structure of two or more layers.

(Adhesive layer)
The adhesive layer can be formed by an adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, or a combination thereof, and is usually one layer, but may be two or more layers. When the adhesive layer is composed of two or more layers, each layer may be made of the same material or different materials.

  The adhesive can be formed by combining one or more of water-based adhesives, active energy ray-curable adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and the like. Examples of the water-based adhesive include a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin aqueous solution and a water-based two-component urethane-based emulsion adhesive. The active energy ray-curable adhesive agent is an adhesive agent that is cured by irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays, and is an adhesive agent containing a polymerizable compound and a photopolymerizable initiator, and an adhesive agent containing a photoreactive resin. , An adhesive containing a binder resin and a photoreactive crosslinking agent, and the like. Examples of the polymerizable compound include photopolymerizable monomers such as photocurable epoxy monomers, photocurable acrylic monomers, and photocurable urethane monomers, and oligomers derived from these monomers. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include those containing a substance that emits active species such as neutral radicals, anion radicals, and cation radicals upon irradiation with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays.

  Examples of the pressure-sensitive adhesive include compositions in which a (meth) acrylic resin, a styrene resin, a silicone resin or the like is used as a base polymer and a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound or an aziridine compound is added.

  The adhesive layer is preferably formed using an active energy ray-curable adhesive, and particularly preferably formed using an adhesive containing an ultraviolet curable epoxy monomer and a photocationic polymerization initiator.

  If necessary, the surface of the layer on which the adhesive layer is formed may be subjected to surface treatment such as corona treatment, plasma treatment, and flame treatment.
