A substrate made of glass is used as an object to be pasted, and a value obtained by the following measurement method is used. However, when evaluating the value of the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with respect to the surface subjected to the easy peeling treatment, a substrate made of non-alkali glass having the same easy peeling treatment applied to the surface is used. In addition, although the absolute value of adhesive force changes with sticking objects, there exists a tendency for the magnitude relationship of adhesive force not to change.

本明細書において、各「フィルム」は、その厚さによって限定されるものではなく、「シート」と呼ばれるものであってもよい。
(粘着力の測定方法)
水平に固定した基板上に、幅25mmの短冊状の粘着層付きのフィルムを貼り付ける。このとき、フィルムの一端は基板に貼り付けないようにする。引っ張り試験機(剥離試験治具)のチャックによって基板に貼り付けなかったフィルムの一端を挟み、90度剥離試験(引張り速度0.3m/min)を行う。
(1)積層フィルムの構成
図1は、実施形態1に係る積層フィルムを示した断面模式図である。実施形態1に係る積層フィルム20は、セパレーターフィルム(表面保護フィルム)11と、異物除去用粘着層12と、異物除去用フィルム13と、基材貼り付け用粘着層16と、光学フィルム(機能性フィルム)17と、が順に設けられた構成を有する。基材への貼り付け時には、光学フィルム17が積層フィルム20の最上部に位置する。なお、光学フィルム17の基材貼り付け用粘着層16が設けられていない側の表面上に、粘着層、及び、表面保護フィルムが積層されていてもよい。
図2は、実施形態1に係る積層フィルムを基材上に貼り付ける方法を説明するための断面模式図である。以下、図2に基づき、実施形態1に係る積層フィルムの貼り合わせの手順を説明する。
積層フィルム20と基材100との位置合わせを行う。この時点で、積層フィルム20の端部の一辺を、テープ30等の接続部材によって基材100に貼り付け、積層フィルム20を基材100に対して固定してもよい。基材100上に比較的大きな異物がある場合や、汚れが付着している場合には、積層フィルム20の貼り付け前に基材100の表面を清掃してもよい。なお、クリーンルーム中又は真空中のように人工的に異物が除去された環境以外では、通常、埃等の異物200が空気中に浮遊しており、図2の(a)に示したように、貼り合わせ対象となる基材100の表面にも異物200が付着している。基材100の種類は特に限定されず、例えば、ガラス板、樹脂フィルムが挙げられる。
セパレーターフィルム11を剥離し、異物除去用粘着層12を露出させる。その状態で、図2の(b)に示したように、積層フィルム20を基材100に貼り付ける。これによって、異物除去用粘着層12と基材100の表面とが密着し、基材100の表面に付着していた異物200が異物除去用粘着層12に吸着される。上記(1)位置合わせの時点でテープ30による固定を実施していないときには、積層フィルム20の端部の一辺を、基材100の積層フィルム20が貼り付けられた領域の近傍にテープ30によって貼り付け、積層フィルム20を基材100に対して固定する。テープ30は、積層フィルム20の最上部にある光学フィルム17の端部に貼り付けられる。また、セパレーターフィルム11を剥離しながら、露出した異物除去用粘着層12を順次ローラーで押しつけ、基材100への貼り付けを行うことが望ましい。これによって、基材100の表面と異物除去用粘着層12との間に気泡が入ることを防止できるので、基材100の表面全体から異物200を適切に除去することができる。
異物除去用フィルム13上を押さえた状態で、光学フィルム17を上方に引き上げることにより、図2の(c)に示したように、異物除去用フィルム13と光学フィルム17とを引き剥がす。これによって、積層フィルム20は、V字状に開いた状態になる。このとき、基材貼り付け用粘着層16は、光学フィルム17側にある。
異物除去用フィルム13の端部をテープ30から剥がす。次に、異物除去用フィルム13のテープ30側の端部を、基材100と光学フィルム17の間の領域から引っ張り出しつつ、貼り合わせローラーによって、基材100に光学フィルム17を順次押しつける。これによって、基材100と基材貼り付け用粘着層16とが密着し、図2の(d)に示したように、基材100の表面に、基材貼り付け用粘着層16を介して、光学フィルム17が貼り付けられる。異物除去用フィルム13を引っ張り出す際には引き出し棒を用いてもよい。この場合、基材100と光学フィルム17の間の領域に引き出し棒を差し込み、引き出し棒を異物除去用フィルム13に取り付けた後に、引き出し棒を引き抜くことで異物除去用フィルム13を剥離できる。引き出し棒としては、粘着部材(例えば、両面テープ)、フック(鉤部)等の取り付け手段を先端に備えるものが挙げられる。
最後に、テープ30を取り外せば、光学フィルム17の基材100への貼り付けが完了する。
実施形態2では、積層フィルムの貼り付けに関する機構及び治具の説明を行う。図3は、実施形態1に係る積層フィルムを貼り付けるための機構の一例を示した模式図である。図3に示したように、引き剥がしローラー43を回転させることによって異物除去用フィルム13を巻き取って基材100から引き剥がす。それと同時に、貼り合わせローラー41及び42を回転させながら異物除去用フィルム13の側へ移動させることによって、光学フィルム17を基材100に貼り付ける。このとき、引き剥がしローラー43の回転速度は、貼り合わせローラー41及び42の回転速度に対して、等速又はより速く設定される。また、引き剥がしローラー43の配置は、光学フィルム17との接触を避けるため、基材100に接しない最低限の高さにすることが好ましい。光学フィルム17には、ばね、トルクモータ等の張力(テンション)を付与する機構によってテンションが掛けられる。光学フィルム17を引っ張る方向の基材100に対する角度は、異物除去用フィルム13を引き剥がす方向の基材100に対する角度よりも大きくされ、かつ貼り合わせローラー41に光学フィルム17が巻き付かない程度に小さくされる。また、貼り付け前の光学フィルム17の下方に異物が入り込むことを防止する観点から、光学フィルム17を引っ張る角度は、基材100に対する鉛直方向よりも小さいことが好ましい。なお、貼り合わせローラー42を用いずに、平滑な表面を有する机、定盤等の平面で基材100を支持してもよい。
実施形態3では、表面に段差を有する基材に対して、機能性フィルムを貼り付ける場合について説明する。表面に段差を有する基材としては、表示部の周囲にフレーム部(外枠)を備える表示装置が挙げられる。このような表示装置では、表示部とフレーム部の境界に段差があり、矩形状の表示部の周囲4辺がいずれも段差となっている場合もある。特に、ノートパソコンの画面、モニター、テレビ等の中型~大型の表示装置において、段差が存在することが多い。図7に示したように、表示部(前面板であってもよい)100Aの上面とフレーム部100Bの上面との間に段差がなく、表面に凹凸がない基材については、貼り合わせローラー141で押さえつけることによって実施形態1の積層フィルムを貼り付けることは容易である。しかしながら、図8に示したように、基材の外周に出っ張りが存在すると、実施形態1の積層フィルムのシート構成では、押しつける積層フィルムの厚さよりも外周の出っ張りの高さの方が大きくなる。貼り合わせローラー141の幅は、一般的に、押しつける基材の幅よりも広いため、外周の出っ張りがあると、貼り合わせローラー141が当たり、ワークの表面を押さえつけることができずに、貼り付けがうまくいかない場合がある。図7は、表面に凹凸がない基材に対する積層フィルムの貼り付けを示した説明図であり、図8は、表面に凹凸がある基材に対する積層フィルムの貼り付けを示した説明図である。
実施形態4では、フレーム部(外枠)が段差を形成している表示装置の形態について、液晶表示装置を例示して説明する。
実施形態5では、基材の貼り付け面が曲面である場合のフィルム貼り付け方法について説明する。フィルムの貼り付けには、一般的にシリコン系微粘着材料からなる弱粘着層が使用される。このシリコン系の弱粘着層は、粘(接)着力が弱いものの、界面から空気を押し出すと密着状態となり、特に平坦なガラス板への貼り付けには適しているが、貼り付け面が曲面の場合には、フィルムの弾性力のために、端部で剥離が生じてしまう。また、高分子(樹脂材料)の表面や、凹凸表面を有するフィルム(例えば、AGフィルム)の表面等に貼り付けた場合にも、剥離が生じてしまう。樹脂材料の場合、弱いC-H結合の多い、ハイドロホービックな表面では、粘着材料の密着力が低下する。微粘着材料は、密着力が低い設計であるため、少しの密着力の低下が、剥離へとつながる。凹凸表面では、微粘着材料の変形量が少なく凹凸に追随できないため、気泡を引き込みやすくなり、応力の掛り易い、周辺部分から剥離が始まる。
実施例1として、実施形態1に係る積層フィルムを実際に製造した例を示す。図16は、実施例1の積層フィルムを示した断面模式図である。実施例1の積層フィルムは、図16に示した構成を有し、各層の材質及び厚さは、以下のとおりである。

基材貼り付け用粘着層16(異物除去用フィルム13との界面):1~2
粘着層31(光学フィルム17との界面):0.1~0.2
水平に固定した基板上に、幅25mmの短冊状の粘着層付きのフィルムを貼り付けた。このとき、フィルムの一端は基板に貼り付けないようにした。引っ張り試験機(剥離試験治具)のチャックによって基板に貼り付けなかった一端を挟み、90度剥離試験(引張り速度0.3m/min)を行った。
(1)反射防止フィルム
反射防止フィルムとしては、モスアイ(蛾の目)構造を有するフィルム、低屈折率の薄膜を積層して形成されたフィルム等が挙げられる。モスアイ構造を有するフィルムは、複数の突起が100nm~数百nmのピッチ及び高さで配置された構造を有し、空気層との界面で屈折率を連続的に変化させることによって界面反射を防止する機能を発揮するものである。
(2)円偏光板
液晶パネルの表面に円偏光板を配置することで、外部から液晶パネルに入射して液晶パネルの内部で反射された光が、外部に出射することを防止できる。すなわち、表示画面における外光の映り込みを防止できる。その理由は、液晶パネル内部で反射された偏光は、位相差がλ/2変化することによって偏光状態が90度旋回し、円偏光板によって遮断されるためである。上記(1)の反射防止フィルムと組み合わせると、表面反射及び内部反射の両方を抑制でき、表示品位の向上に効果的である。
(3)防汚性、耐擦傷性改善フィルム
撥水撥油膜が塗布されたものが挙げられる。撥水撥油膜としては、例えば、フッ素ポリマーを可溶化して塗布乾燥して得られた膜、フッ素系側鎖を有する分子を反応基によって基板の表面に化学結合させたシロキサン系材料からなる膜、フッ素系のモノマー、オリゴマーを重合して得られる低表面張力の表面を有する膜が挙げられる。市販品としては、例えば、可溶性のフッ素ポリマーのサイトップ(旭硝子社製)、フッ素化合物の離型処理剤であるフロロサーフ(フロロサーフ社製)等が挙げられる。
(4)SAMフィルム
直進光を微細構造の楔状の斜面構造で、全方位に拡散させる広視野角フィルムである。
(5)フィルムタッチパネル
ロール状で貼り合わせ、粘着剤の塗工まで終わってからフィルムを分断することで、加工歩留まりを改善することができる。これは、貼り合わせの際に、フィルムが厚くなることで適度な強度が得られるためである。特に、サイネージ用のような大型サイズの表示装置に貼り付ける場合に、歩留りの改善効果が大きい。
(6)クリーンルームが使えない用途のフィルム
建材用の光学フィルム(飛散防止フィルム、熱線カットフィルム、防汚性フィルム、防眩(AG)フィルム、耐傷性フィルム、防曇フィルム等)については、現状は水洗して、水貼りで対応しているが、異物の混入が避けられず、また、水の使用による現場での養生の手間もかかる。本発明のフィルム構造又はフィルム貼り付け方法を用いれば、水の使用が不要であり、クリーンルーム外であっても、異物の混入を充分に防止できる。
(7)薄板ガラス(特に前面板)
ロール状で張り合わせ、粘着剤塗工まで終わってからフィルムを分断することで、加工歩留まりを改善することができる。貼り合せの際に、フィルムが厚くなることで適度な強度が得られるため、割れにくくなる。
以下に、本発明の積層フィルムの好ましい態様の例を挙げる。各例は、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において適宜組み合わされてもよい。
