Further, when the flexible image display device is repeatedly bent in a high temperature environment, high adhesiveness between the laminated members can be ensured.

It is a schematic cross-sectional view of the flexible image display device which concerns on 1st Embodiment of this invention. It is the schematic sectional drawing of the flexible image display apparatus which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention. It is the schematic sectional drawing of the flexible image display apparatus which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of this invention.

The flexible image display device according to the present invention includes a window member, a first member laminated on the window member, and a first laminated body or a panel member with a first touch sensor laminated on the window member via the first member. , With a plurality of layers of adhesive members. The first laminated body is a laminated body of a second member laminated via the first member and a third A member laminated via the first member and the second member on the window member.

When the flexible image display device includes the first laminated body, one of the first member and the second member is an optical film, and the other is an optical film or a touch sensor. The third A member includes at least a panel member. In this case, the plurality of layers of the adhesive member are at least three layers arranged between the window member and the first member, between the first member and the second member, and between the second member and the third B member. including.

When the flexible image display device includes a panel member with a first touch sensor, the first member is an optical film. In this case, the plurality of layers of the adhesive member includes at least two layers arranged between the window member and the first member and between the first member and the panel member with the first touch sensor.

The present invention also includes an optical laminate used in the above-mentioned flexible image display device. The optical laminate includes a window member, a first member laminated on the window member, a second laminate or a first separator laminated on the window member via the first member, and a plurality of layers of adhesive members. Equipped. The second laminated body is a laminated body of a second member laminated via the first member and a third B member laminated via the first member and the second member on the window member.

When the optical laminated body includes the second laminated body, one of the first member and the second member is an optical film, and the other is an optical film or a touch sensor. The third B member includes at least a second separator. The multi-layer adhesive member includes at least three layers arranged between the window member and the first member, between the first member and the second member, and between the second member and the third B member.

When the optical laminate includes a first separator, the first member is an optical film. In this case, the plurality of layers of the adhesive member includes at least two layers arranged between the window member and the first member and between the first member and the first separator.

The optical laminate is used in a flexible image display device in a state where the separator (specifically, the first separator or the second separator included in the third B member) is peeled off. The flexible image display device includes an optical laminate with the separator peeled off, with the window member arranged on the viewing side.

In the above-mentioned flexible image display device and optical laminate, when the elastic modulus (GPa) of the window member is E0 and the thickness (mm) of the window member is T0, E0 × T0 ≦ 0.32. The product (= E0 × T0) of the elastic modulus and the thickness indicates the degree of stiffness (or hardness) of the window member. The unit of E0 × T0 is kN / mm.

The flexible image display device is used in an exposed state where the surface on the window member side is the viewing side. Therefore, the surface on the window member side is required to have high scratch resistance. The scratch resistance of the surface on the window member side can be evaluated by, for example, a pencil hardness test. However, even if a high pencil hardness can be obtained only with the window member, if it is laminated with another member (for example, an optical film and a touch sensor) via an adhesive member to form a flexible image display device, a pencil on the surface of the window member side. It has become clear that the hardness can be significantly reduced. The adhesive member has a high viscosity even when the members are bonded together, unlike the adhesive member that adheres the members to each other by curing. Therefore, if the adhesive member is present in the flexible image display device, the stress is relieved by the adhesive member when the surface on the window member side is pressed, but at that time, the adhesive member is deformed and the pressing mark is based on the pressure mark. It becomes difficult to return and the scratch resistance decreases. When the optical laminate includes a plurality of layers of adhesive members, such a decrease in scratch resistance becomes more remarkable. On the other hand, in the case of a hardened adhesive member, stress relaxation unlike the case of an adhesive member is unlikely to occur, and a decrease in scratch resistance is hardly observed. In the flexible image display device, since the constituent members are required to have high flexibility, it is considered that the influence of the highly viscous adhesive member on the pencil hardness is likely to become apparent.

The adhesive member is a hardened adhesive and has no fluidity. On the other hand, the adhesive member is a non-curable adhesive and has fluidity.

When the scratch resistance of the surface on the window member side is increased, the flexibility of the optical laminate or the flexible image display device tends to decrease. Even if the flexible image display device having high scratch resistance on the surface of the window member side is repeatedly bent at room temperature (20 ° C. to 35 ° C.), peeling is unlikely to occur between the laminated members. However, it has become clear that when the flexible image display device is repeatedly bent in a high temperature environment (for example, 60 ° C.), peeling occurs between the laminated members, and high adhesiveness may not be ensured.

In the flexible image display device and the optical laminate according to the present invention, when E0 × T0 ≦ 0.32, the adhesive member arranged between the window member and the first member (hereinafter referred to as the first adhesive member). The thickness of is 10 μm or less. In addition, the thickness of at least one layer other than the first adhesive member among the plurality of layers of the adhesive member contained in the flexible image display device or the optical laminate is set to satisfy the condition of 18 μm or more. By setting the thickness of the first adhesive member to 10 μm or less, when the surface on the window member side is pressed even though the flexible image display device and the optical laminate include the adhesive member having at least three layers or at least two layers. Deformation of the adhesive member is reduced. As a result, high scratch resistance (more specifically, high pencil hardness) on the surface on the window member side can be ensured. Further, by using the adhesive member having at least three layers or at least two layers, high flexibility of the optical laminate can be ensured. Further, by setting the thickness of at least one layer of the adhesive member other than the first adhesive member to 18 μm or more, peeling between the laminated members can be suppressed even if the adhesive member is repeatedly bent in a high temperature environment. That is, high adhesiveness can be ensured even in a high temperature environment.

In the flexible image display device according to the present invention, the pencil hardness on the window member side is harder than F, and a high pencil hardness can be ensured. Further, in the flexible image display device according to the present invention, it is possible to secure a pencil hardness higher than H on the window member side.

In this specification, the pencil hardness means the scratch hardness (pencil method) defined in JIS K 5600-5-4: 1999. Pencil hardness can be measured under the conditions of a load of 750 g and a weight of 25 ° C. in accordance with JIS K 5600-5-4: 1999.

The hardness of each member in the flexible image display device or the optical laminate including the window member can be adjusted by, for example, adjusting the material, layer structure, and / or thickness of each member.

(Adhesive member)
The optical laminate or the flexible image display device includes a plurality of layers of adhesive members. More specifically, when the flexible image display device (or optical laminate) includes the first laminate (or the second laminate), the flexible image display device (or the optical laminate) is at least the window member and the first. A three-layer adhesive member is provided between the first member, between the first member and the second member, and between the second member and the third A member (or the third B member). When the flexible image display device (or optical laminate) includes the panel member with the first touch sensor (or the first separator), the multi-layer adhesive member is at least between the window member and the first member, and the first. It includes a two-layer adhesive member arranged between the member and the panel member with the first touch sensor (or the first separator). The multi-layer adhesive member may include an adhesive member other than the three-layer or two-layer adhesive member arranged between such adjacent members. The adhesive member other than the three-layer or two-layer adhesive member is inside each member other than the window member (specifically, the first member, the second member, the third A member (or the third B member), and the first touch. It is arranged in at least one member selected from the group consisting of panel members with sensors). Each adhesive member is usually layered. The number of adhesive members in each member is not particularly limited, and may be 0 layer, 1 layer, or 2 or more layers. As described above, the adhesive member (that is, the adhesive member having a plurality of layers) included in the flexible image display device or the optical laminate includes both the adhesive member included between the adjacent members and the adhesive member contained in each member. Is included.

The adhesive member included in the flexible image display device or the optical laminate may be, for example, 8 layers or less, 7 layers or 6 layers or less, or 5 layers or 4 layers or less.

The thickness of the first adhesive member is 10 μm or less, and may be 8 μm or less or 6 μm or less. In the present invention, when the product of the elastic modulus E0 (GPa) of the window member and the thickness T0 (mm) of the window member is E0 × T0 ≦ 0.32, the thickness of the first adhesive member is set to such a range. By doing so, high pencil hardness can be ensured on the window member side of the flexible image display device regardless of the type of material constituting each adhesive member.

From the viewpoint of easily ensuring higher flexibility in the flexible image display device, the thickness of each layer of the adhesive member is preferably 3 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more, and 8 μm or more or 10 μm or more, respectively. It may be 13 μm or more.

Of the plurality of layers of the adhesive member, the thickness of at least one layer of the adhesive member other than the first adhesive member is 18 μm or more, and may be 20 μm or more. In the present invention, when the product of the elastic modulus E0 (GPa) of the window member and the thickness T0 (mm) of the window member is E0 × T0 ≦ 0.32, at least one layer of the adhesive member other than the first adhesive member By setting the thickness in such a range, high adhesiveness between the laminated members can be ensured even when the flexible image display device is repeatedly bent in a high temperature environment. From the viewpoint of easily ensuring higher scratch resistance on the surface of the flexible image display device on the window member side, the thickness of at least one adhesive member other than the first adhesive member may be 50 μm or less, 40 μm or less, or 40 μm or less. It may be 30 μm or less.

Of the adhesive members other than the first adhesive member, the thickness of at least one layer of the adhesive member may be 18 μm or more (or 20 μm or more). Among the adhesive members other than the first adhesive member, the thickness of at least two layers of the adhesive member may be 18 μm or more or 20 μm or more. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive member having such a thickness may be 50 μm or less, 40 μm or less, or 30 μm or less from the viewpoint of easily ensuring higher scratch resistance.

From the viewpoint of ensuring higher adhesiveness, the thickness of the adhesive member located on the outer side of the adhesive member located on the inner side in the bent state of the flexible image display device may be 18 μm or more (or 20 μm or more). It is advantageous.

Among the adhesive members other than the first adhesive member, the thickness of the remaining adhesive member is not particularly limited. As described above, from the viewpoint of flexibility, the thickness of the remaining adhesive member may be, for example, 3 μm or more, 5 μm or more, 8 μm or more, 10 μm or more, or 13 μm or more. The thickness of the remaining adhesive member may be 50 μm or less, 40 μm or less, or 30 μm or less.

In the flexible image display device, either the surface of the window member on the first member side and the touch sensor or the panel member with a touch sensor (specifically, the panel member with the first or second touch sensor) are used. A decorative layer may be provided so as to come into contact with the one-layer adhesive member. If the thickness of the adhesive member at the portion where the decorative layer is provided is small, it becomes difficult for the adhesive member to absorb the step formed by the decorative layer. Therefore, from the viewpoint of easily absorbing the step caused by the decorative layer, the thickness of the adhesive member with which the decorative layer comes into contact may be 10 μm or more. In the present invention, since the thickness of the first adhesive member is relatively small, the decorative layer is provided on the surface of the first member on the second member side or in the first member from the viewpoint of easily absorbing the step caused by the decorative layer. It is more advantageous to provide it.

From the viewpoint of easily absorbing the step caused by the decorative layer, the thickness of the adhesive member with which the decorative layer comes into contact may be 1.5 times or more the thickness of the decorative layer, or 2 times or more or 2.5 times or more, and further. May be tripled or more.

The upper limit value and the lower limit value of the thickness of the layer of the adhesive member described above can be arbitrarily combined.

The thickness of the adhesive member is measured by cutting out a cross section of a flexible image display device or an optical laminate and measuring the cross section based on an image obtained by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The thickness of the adhesive member is obtained by measuring and averaging the thicknesses of the portions where the decorative layer is not formed at an arbitrary plurality of locations (for example, 5 locations) in the SEM image of the cross section.

The storage elastic modulus of each adhesive member at 25 ° C. is usually 10 MPa or less, may be 3 MPa or less, 2 MPa or less, or 1.5 MPa or less. The storage elastic modulus of each adhesive member at 25 ° C. is preferably 1 MPa or less, 0.3 MPa or less or 0.2 MPa or less, and 0.15 MPa or less or 0.1 MPa or less. When the storage elastic modulus of the adhesive member is in such a range, high adhesiveness can be ensured, and unlike the case of a hardened adhesive member, the stress due to pressing is easily relaxed and the pencil hardness is likely to decrease. According to the present invention, even when the flexible image display device includes a plurality of layers of adhesive members that can easily relieve stress due to pressing, high pencil hardness can be ensured by controlling the thickness of the first adhesive member. can. The storage elastic modulus of each adhesive member at 25 ° C. may be 0.001 MPa or more, or 0.005 MPa or more.

The upper limit value and the lower limit value of the storage elastic modulus of the adhesive member described above can be arbitrarily combined.

On the other hand, the storage elastic modulus of the adhesive member at 25 ° C. is larger than 10 MPa, may be 100 MPa or more, and is usually about 1 GPa. In the present specification, the adhesive member means a member having such a storage elastic modulus.
In this way, the adhesive member is distinguished from the adhesive member by the storage elastic modulus.

The storage elastic modulus of the adhesive member can be measured according to JIS K 7244-1: 1998. Specifically, first, a molded product having a thickness of about 1.5 mm is produced using an adhesive member. This molded product is punched into a disk shape having a diameter of 7.9 mm to prepare a test piece. This test piece is sandwiched between parallel plates, and the viscoelasticity is measured under the following conditions using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (for example, "Advanced Rheometric Expansion System (ARES)" manufactured by Rheometric Scientific), and the viscoelasticity is measured at 25 ° C. The storage elastic modulus in. The storage elastic modulus of the adhesive member is also obtained in the same manner as in the case of the adhesive member.

(Measurement condition)
Deformation mode: Torsion measurement frequency: 1Hz
Measurement temperature: -40 ° C to + 150 ° C
Heating rate : 5 ° C / min

From the viewpoint of ensuring high visibility of the panel members, the total light transmittance of each adhesive member is preferably 85% or more, more preferably 90% or more.

The total light transmittance of the adhesive member can be measured according to JIS K 7136K: 2000. For the measurement, a test piece in which an adhesive member is arranged on non-alkali glass (thickness 0.8 to 1.0 mm, total light transmittance 92%) until the thickness becomes about 1.5 mm is used.

Each adhesive member is composed of an adhesive. The type of adhesive is not particularly limited, and for example, acrylic adhesive, rubber adhesive, silicone adhesive, urethane adhesive, vinyl alkyl ether adhesive, polyvinylpyrrolidone adhesive, polyacrylamide adhesive. , And a cellulose-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. Adhesives include, for example, base polymers, cross-linking agents, additives (eg, tackifiers, coupling agents, polymerization inhibitors, cross-linking retarders, catalysts, plastics, softeners, fillers, colorants, metal powders. , UV absorbers, light stabilizers, antioxidants, degradation inhibitors, surfactants, antioxidants, surface lubricants, leveling agents, corrosion inhibitors, particles of inorganic or organic materials (metal compound particles (metal oxidation) (Object particles, etc.), resin particles, etc.))) can be included, but the present invention is not limited to these.

It is advantageous to use a pressure-sensitive adhesive having the above-mentioned storage elastic modulus as the pressure-sensitive adhesive because the effect of controlling the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive member tends to be remarkable. Of the plurality of layers of the pressure-sensitive adhesive member, the pressure-sensitive adhesives constituting at least two layers of the pressure-sensitive adhesive members may be the same, and the pressure-sensitive adhesives constituting each pressure-sensitive adhesive member may be different.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive member can be formed, for example, by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting each pressure-sensitive adhesive member to one of the members that sandwich each pressure-sensitive adhesive member, or by transferring a pressure-sensitive adhesive molded into a sheet shape. Then, by laminating the other of the members that sandwich each adhesive member on the adhesive member, each adhesive member is arranged between the members. Even when the adhesive member is included in each member, the adhesive member is arranged in each member in the same manner as when the adhesive member is arranged between the members. For example, the adhesive member is arranged on one of the layers (or laminates) constituting each member and sandwiching the adhesive member by utilizing the application or transfer of the adhesive as described above, and the other layer (or laminate) is arranged. The adhesive member is arranged in each member by attaching the body) to the adhesive member.

(Window member)
The window member is arranged on the outermost surface of the flexible image display device or the optical laminate on the visual side in order to prevent damage to the optical film, the touch sensor, the panel member with the touch sensor, and the panel member.

When the product of the elastic modulus E0 of the window member and the thickness T0 is E0 × T0 ≦ 0.32, the property of the adhesive member (particularly, the first adhesive member) included in the flexible image display device or the optical laminate is the window. It affects the pencil hardness on the surface on the member side. Further, the thickness of at least one layer of the adhesive member other than the first adhesive member is the adhesiveness between the laminated members (or the layers constituting each member) when the flexible image display device is repeatedly bent in a high temperature environment. Affects. In the present invention, by controlling the thickness of the first adhesive member as described above, a high pencil hardness can be ensured on the surface on the window member side. Further, by controlling the thickness of at least one layer other than the first adhesive member as described above, high adhesiveness can be ensured even in a high temperature environment.

The window member usually includes a window film. Flexible image display devices or optical laminates applied thereto are required to have high flexibility (high commutativity, etc.), high transparency (high total light transmittance, low haze, etc.), and high hardness. The material of the window film is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies these physical characteristics.

Examples of the window film include a transparent resin film. Examples of the resin constituting the transparent resin film include polyimide resin, polyamide resin, polyester resin, cellulose resin, acetate resin, styrene resin, sulfone resin, epoxy resin, polyolefin resin, and polyether. At least one selected from ether ketone resin, sulfide resin, vinyl alcohol resin, urethane resin, acrylic resin, and polycarbonate resin can be mentioned. However, the resin constituting the transparent resin film is not limited to these.

The thickness of the window film is, for example, 20 μm or more and 500 μm or less, and may be 30 μm or more and 200 μm or less. When the window film has such a thickness, it is easy to achieve both high strength and high flexibility.

In the present specification, with respect to a material or member (molded body) other than the adhesive member or the adhesive, the transparent material means that the total light transmittance of the test piece is 80% or more. A test piece having a thickness of about 1.5 mm and made of a transparent material or member is used for measuring the total light transmittance. The total light transmittance can be measured according to the case of the adhesive member.

The window member may include a hard coat layer. From the viewpoint that a high damage prevention effect of the window film can be easily obtained, it is preferable that the hard coat layer is provided at least on the side opposite to the first member side of the window member. More specifically, it is preferable that the hard coat layer is provided on the surface at least on the side opposite to the first member side of the window film (that is, the visible side of the window film).

The thickness of the hard coat layer is, for example, 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and may be 1 μm or more and 50 μm or less. When the window member includes a plurality of hard coat layers, the thickness of each hard coat layer may be within such a range.

The hard coat layer is formed by applying a curable coating agent to the surface of a underlying layer (for example, a window film) and curing it.

As the coating agent, for example, those used for optical films can be used. Examples of the coating agent include, but are not limited to, an acrylic coating agent, a melamine coating agent, a urethane coating agent, an epoxy coating agent, a silicone coating agent, and an inorganic coating agent.

The coating agent may contain additives. Additives include, for example, silane coupling agents, colorants, dyes, powders or particles (pigments, inorganic or organic fillers, particles of inorganic or organic materials, etc.), surfactants, plasticizers, antistatic agents. Examples thereof include, but are not limited to, agents, surface lubricants, leveling agents, antioxidants, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, polymerization inhibitors, antifouling materials, and the like.

The window member may include another layer (hereinafter, referred to as layer A), if necessary. The layer A includes an antireflection layer, an antiglare layer, an antifouling layer, a sticking prevention layer, a hue adjustment layer, an antistatic layer, an easy-adhesion layer, a precipitation prevention layer such as ions or oligomers, a shock absorption layer, and a shatterproof layer. Can be mentioned. The window member may include one layer A or a plurality of layers. The layer A is provided, for example, on the surface side or the first member side of another layer or laminate (for example, a window film) constituting the window member. The layer A may be directly formed by a coating or the like on another layer or a laminated body constituting the window film, or may be laminated via an adhesive member. The window member does not include an adhesive member. Here, the adhesive member refers to an adhesive member having a storage elastic modulus at 25 ° C. as described above.

The thickness T0 of the window member is, for example, 0.02 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less, and may be 0.03 mm or more and 0.3 mm or less.

The thickness T0 of the window member is measured based on a cross section of the flexible image display device or the optical laminate and an SEM image of the cross section. The thickness T0 is obtained by measuring the thickness at an arbitrary plurality of points (for example, 5 points) and averaging the thickness in the SEM image of the cross section.

In the present specification, the thickness of the member constituting the optical laminate or the flexible image display device is obtained according to the case of the thickness T0 of the window member.

The elastic modulus E0 of the window member is, for example, 0.53 GPa or less and 16 GPa or less, and may be 1 GPa or more and 15 GPa or less, 1 GPa or more and 10 GPa or less, or 3 GPa or more and 8 GPa or less.

The elastic modulus E0 (GPa) of the window member is an average value (arithmetic mean value) obtained by preparing three samples for measuring the window member, measuring the elastic modulus of each sample by a tensile test, and averaging them. be. The tensile test can be performed under the following conditions using the following device.
Tensile tester: Shimadzu Corporation, Autograph AG-1S
Control: Stroke Station distance: 100 mm
Tensile rate: 50 mm / min
Elastic modulus calculation range: 10N / mm ^{2 to} 20N / mm ²

The sample for measuring the elastic modulus is prepared as follows. First, the elastic modulus of the window member in the vertical and horizontal directions is measured. Next, a sample is prepared by cutting the window member into strips with a length in the direction of high elastic modulus of 150 mm and a length of 10 mm in the direction of low elastic modulus. For cutting the window member, for example, a multipurpose test piece cutting machine manufactured by Dumbbell Co., Ltd. is used.

E0 × T0 (kN / mm) may be 0.32 or less, and may be 0.3 or less. Further, E0 × T0 is, for example, 0.01 or more, and may be 0.02 or more, 0.05 or more, 0.1 or more, or 0.2 or more. These upper limit values and lower limit values can be arbitrarily combined.

From the viewpoint of ensuring a higher concealing effect of the lead wiring, the thickness of the decorative layer is preferably 10 nm or more, more preferably 30 nm or more or 50 nm or more. These upper limit values and lower limit values can be arbitrarily combined.

The decorative layer may be formed, for example, by applying a coating agent containing a component of the decorative layer to the surface of a member or layer (excluding the adhesive member) that comes into contact with the decorative layer. For example, the surface of the window member on the first member side, the surface of the first member on the first laminated body side or the surface of the panel member with the first touch sensor (or the first separator side), and when the second member is an optical film, the first The decorative layer may be formed by applying a coating agent containing the constituent components of the decorative layer to any of the surfaces of the two members on the third A member side (or the third B member side).

According to these cases, when the decorative layer is formed on the surface of the layer or the laminated body constituting the first member or the second member, the decorative layer can be formed in each member.

A primer layer may be arranged on the surface of a member or layer (excluding the adhesive member) to which the coating agent is applied prior to application. For example, when the decorative layer is provided on the surface of the window member on the first member side, even if the primer layer is arranged between the decorative layer and the surface of the window member on the first member side. good. When the decorative layer is provided on the surface of the first laminated body side of the first member or the panel member side with the first touch sensor (or the first separator side), the decorative layer and the first laminated body side of the first member Alternatively, a primer layer may be arranged between the surface of the panel member with the first touch sensor (or the side of the first separator). The primer layer contains, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of metal compounds (metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, metal sulfides, etc.) and resin materials. The primer layer is preferably transparent.

It is preferable that the thickness of the primer layer is small from the viewpoint that the adhesive member easily absorbs the step difference of the decorative layer and the optical influence of the primer layer can be easily suppressed. The thickness of the primer layer is, for example, 500 nm or less, preferably 100 nm or less or 30 nm or less.
