Abstract

Une composition adhésive durcissable pour films polarisants, utilisée pour coller un film de protection transparent sur au moins une surface d'un polariseur, est caractérisée en ce qu'elle contient un composant durcissable par rayonnement d'énergie active et au moins un composé métallique organique qui est sélectionné dans le groupe comprenant des alcoxydes métalliques et des chélates métalliques. Il est préférable que le métal du composé métallique organique soit du titane. Il est également préférable qu'un alcoxyde métallique soit contenu en tant que composé métallique organique et que le groupe organique de l'alcoxyde métallique comprenne au moins 6 atomes de carbone. Il est également préférable qu'un chélate métallique soit contenu en tant que composé métallique organique et que le groupe organique du chélate métallique comprenne au moins 4 atomes de carbone.
