 本発明は、2層以上の粘着剤層が直接積層されている多層化粘着剤層、前記多層化粘着剤層の片面又は両面にセパレータを有するセパレータ付き多層化粘着剤層及びその製造方法、前記多層化粘着剤層と、光学フィルムとを有する粘着型光学フィルム、前記セパレータ付き多層化粘着剤層と、光学フィルムとを有するセパレータ付き粘着型光学フィルム及びその製造方法、並びに画像表示装置に関する。画像表示装置としては、液晶表示装置(LCD)、有機EL表示装置、CRT、及びPDPなどが挙げられる。 The present invention relates to a multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in which two or more pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are directly laminated, a multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a separator on one or both sides of the multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a method for producing the same. The present invention relates to an adhesive optical film having a multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and an optical film, an adhesive-type optical film with a separator having the separator-attached multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and an optical film, a method for producing the same, and an image display device. Examples of the image display device include a liquid crystal display device (LCD), an organic EL display device, a CRT, and a PDP.
 液晶表示装置および有機EL表示装置等は、その画像形成方式から、例えば、液晶表示装置では、液晶セルの両側に偏光素子を配置することが必要不可欠であり、一般的には偏光フィルムが貼着されている。また液晶パネルおよび有機ELパネル等の表示パネルには偏光フィルムの他に、ディスプレイの表示品位を向上させるために様々な光学素子が用いられている。また、液晶表示装置、有機EL表示装置、CRT、及びPDP等の画像表示装置を保護したり、高級感を付与したり、デザインを差別化するために前面板が使用されている。これら液晶表示装置および有機EL表示装置等の画像表示装置や、前面板などの画像表示装置と共に使用される部材には、例えば、着色防止としての位相差板、液晶ディスプレイの視野角を改善するための視野角拡大フィルム、さらにはディスプレイのコントラストを高めるための輝度向上フィルム、表面の耐擦傷性を付与するために用いられるハードコートフィルム、画像表示装置に対する写り込みを防止するためのアンチグレア処理フィルム、アンチリフレクティブフィルム、及びローリフレクティブフィルムなどの反射防止フィルム等の表面処理フィルムが用いられている。これらのフィルムは総称して光学フィルムと呼ばれる。 Due to the image forming method of a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, or the like, for example, in a liquid crystal display device, it is indispensable to arrange polarizing elements on both sides of the liquid crystal cell, and generally, a polarizing film is attached. Has been done. Further, in addition to the polarizing film, various optical elements are used for the display panel such as the liquid crystal panel and the organic EL panel in order to improve the display quality of the display. Further, a front plate is used to protect an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device, an organic EL display device, a CRT, and a PDP, to give a sense of quality, and to differentiate a design. The members used together with the image display device such as the liquid crystal display device and the organic EL display device and the image display device such as the front plate include, for example, a retardation plate for preventing coloring and a viewing angle of the liquid crystal display. A film that expands the viewing angle of the display, a brightness-enhancing film that enhances the contrast of the display, a hard coat film that is used to impart scratch resistance to the surface, and an anti-glare treatment film that prevents reflection on an image display device. Surface-treated films such as anti-reflective films and anti-reflection films such as low-reflective films are used. These films are collectively called optical films.
 光学フィルムのムラ等に起因する視認性の低下は、品質課題の一つであり、その改善が求められている。また、光学フィルムを作製する際に発生するムラだけでなく、光学フィルム同士を貼り合わせるため、又は光学フィルムを表示パネルへ貼り合わせるために用いられる粘着剤層や接着剤層の表面ムラも視認性に影響を与えるため、その対策が必要となってきている。 Deterioration of visibility due to unevenness of the optical film is one of the quality issues, and improvement is required. In addition to the unevenness that occurs when manufacturing an optical film, the surface unevenness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the adhesive layer used for bonding the optical films to each other or for bonding the optical films to the display panel is also visible. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures against it.
 例えば、特許文献1では、粘着剤層に基づく視認性に係るムラの問題を低減することを目的として、光学フィルムと、前記光学フィルムに設けられた粘着剤層を有する粘着型光学フィルムであって、前記粘着剤層は、厚み(μm)の標準偏差値が0.12μm以下であることを特徴とする粘着型光学フィルムが提案されている。 For example, in Patent Document 1, an adhesive type optical film having an optical film and an adhesive layer provided on the optical film for the purpose of reducing the problem of unevenness related to visibility based on the adhesive layer. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a pressure-sensitive optical film having a thickness (μm) standard deviation value of 0.12 μm or less has been proposed.

 本発明の多層化粘着剤層は、厚みが小さい粘着剤層を複数積層することにより、各粘着剤層の表面ムラを抑制して粘着剤層全体の表面ムラを抑制しつつ、厚手化を達成したものである。各粘着剤層の厚みを小さくすることにより、各粘着剤層の表面ムラが抑制された理由は定かではないが、以下のように考えられる。粘着剤層は、通常、粘着剤組成物をセパレータ等の基材上に塗布し、乾燥等することにより硬化(固化)して形成されるが、粘着剤組成物の塗布膜の厚みが厚い場合には、乾燥時に粘着剤組成物中の溶剤の流動性が大きくなったり、乾燥時の熱風によって塗布膜の表面が波打ちやすくなることにより、表面ムラが生じやすくなると考えられる。一方、粘着剤組成物の塗布膜の厚みが薄い場合には、乾燥時に粘着剤組成物中の溶剤の流動性が小さくなり、乾燥時の熱風によって塗布膜の表面が波打ちにくくなるため、表面ムラが生じにくくなると考えられる。 The multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention achieves thickening while suppressing surface unevenness of each pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and suppressing surface unevenness of the entire pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by laminating a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive layers having a small thickness. It was done. The reason why the surface unevenness of each pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is suppressed by reducing the thickness of each pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not clear, but it is considered as follows. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is usually formed by applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on a base material such as a separator and drying (solidifying) the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. However, when the coating film of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is thick. It is considered that surface unevenness is likely to occur because the fluidity of the solvent in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition increases during drying and the surface of the coating film tends to undulate due to hot air during drying. On the other hand, when the coating film of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is thin, the fluidity of the solvent in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition becomes small during drying, and the surface of the coating film is less likely to undulate due to hot air during drying, resulting in surface unevenness. Is considered to be less likely to occur.
 また、本発明の多層化粘着剤層は、総厚みが20~100μmであり、フレキシブルパネルの耐久性を向上させるための十分な厚みを有するにもかかわらず、筋ムラ率を表すISC-S値が50以下であり、視認性に影響を与える表面ムラが非常に抑制されたものである。 Further, the multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention has a total thickness of 20 to 100 μm, and although it has a sufficient thickness for improving the durability of the flexible panel, the ISC-S value indicating the streak unevenness ratio is exhibited. Is 50 or less, and surface unevenness that affects visibility is greatly suppressed.

<Multi-layer adhesive layer with separator>
The multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a separator of the present invention has a separator on one side or both sides of the multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. As the separator, known ones can be used without particular limitation, and it is preferable to use a separator that has been peeled off.

It can be produced by sequentially laminating another pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the agent layer.
 また、本発明のセパレータ付き多層化粘着剤層は、例えば、一方のセパレータ上に粘着剤組成物を塗布し、塗布した前記粘着剤組成物を前記第1~第3乾燥工程を含む乾燥工程により硬化(固化)して、一方のセパレータ上に粘着剤層を1層以上形成し、他方のセパレータ上にも同様の方法で粘着剤層を1層以上形成し、そして、一方のセパレータ上の粘着剤層と他方のセパレータ上の粘着剤層とを積層することにより製造することができる。 Further, in the multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a separator of the present invention, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is applied on one of the separators, and the applied pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is subjected to a drying step including the first to third drying steps. It is cured (solidified) to form one or more pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on one separator, one or more pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on the other separator in the same manner, and adhesion on one separator. It can be produced by laminating the agent layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the other separator.
 前記セパレータ付き多層化粘着剤層は、ハンドリング性の向上及びパネルの製造効率の向上の観点から、引張速度300mm/分、剥離角度180度の条件で測定されるセパレータ剥離力が0.15N/50mm以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.14N/50mm以下、さらに好ましくは0.13N/50mm以下である。粘着剤層の形成材料である粘着剤組成物中に含まれる過酸化物が多いほどセパレータと反応しやすくなるため、セパレータ剥離力は高くなり、剥離しにくくなる。従来の粘着剤層の製造方法では、セパレータ上に塗布された粘着剤組成物の塗布厚が大きいため粘着剤組成物中に含まれる過酸化物の量も相対的に多くなり、セパレータと反応しやすくなるため、セパレータが剥離しにくくなると考えられる。一方、本発明のセパレータ付き多層化粘着剤層の製造方法では、セパレータ上に塗布された粘着剤組成物の塗布厚が小さいため粘着剤組成物中に含まれる過酸化物の量も相対的に少なくなり、セパレータと反応しにくくなるため、セパレータ剥離力は小さくなり、剥離しやすくなると考えられる。 The multi-layer adhesive layer with a separator has a separator peeling force of 0.15 N / 50 mm measured under the conditions of a tensile speed of 300 mm / min and a peeling angle of 180 degrees from the viewpoint of improving handleability and panel manufacturing efficiency. It is preferably 0.14 N / 50 mm or less, more preferably 0.13 N / 50 mm or less. The greater the amount of peroxide contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which is the material for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the easier it is to react with the separator, so that the separator peeling power becomes higher and peeling becomes more difficult. In the conventional method for producing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, since the coating thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition applied on the separator is large, the amount of peroxide contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is relatively large and reacts with the separator. It is considered that the separator is difficult to peel off because it becomes easy. On the other hand, in the method for producing a multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a separator of the present invention, the coating thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition applied on the separator is small, so that the amount of peroxide contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is relatively large. It is considered that the amount of the separator peeling force becomes small and the peeling becomes easy because the amount of the separator is reduced and the reaction with the separator becomes difficult.

Can be placed in (see FIG. 1).
 本発明のフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムは、前記タッチセンサを構成する透明導電層を、前記第1の多層化粘着剤層に対して、前記保護膜と接している面と反対側に配置させることができる(図2参照)。 In the adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device of the present invention, the transparent conductive layer constituting the touch sensor is placed on the side opposite to the surface in contact with the protective film with respect to the first multilayer adhesive layer. It can be arranged (see FIG. 2).

 [導電性層(帯電防止層)]
 また、本発明のフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムは、導電性を有する層(導電性層、帯電防止層)を有していても構わない。前記フレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムは、屈曲機能を有し、非常に薄い厚み構成となるため、製造工程等で生じる微弱な静電気に対して反応性が大きく、ダメージを受けやすいが、前記粘着型光学フィルムに導電性層を設けることで、製造工程等での静電気による負荷が大きく軽減され、好ましい態様となる。
[Conductive layer (antistatic layer)]
Further, the adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device of the present invention may have a conductive layer (conductive layer, antistatic layer). Since the adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device has a bending function and has a very thin thickness structure, it is highly responsive to weak static electricity generated in a manufacturing process or the like and is easily damaged. By providing the conductive layer on the adhesive optical film, the load due to static electricity in the manufacturing process or the like is greatly reduced, which is a preferable embodiment.
 また、前記粘着型光学フィルムを含むフレキシブル画像表示装置は、屈曲機能を有することが大きな特徴の1つであるが、連続屈曲させた場合に屈曲部のフィルム(基材)間の収縮により、静電気が生じる場合がある。そこで、前記粘着型光学フィルムに導電性を付与した場合、発生した静電気を速やかに取り除くことができ、画像表示装置の静電気によるダメージを軽減させることができ、好ましい態様となる。 Further, one of the major features of the flexible image display device including the adhesive optical film is that it has a bending function, but when it is continuously bent, static electricity is generated due to shrinkage between the films (base materials) of the bent portion. May occur. Therefore, when the adhesive optical film is imparted with conductivity, the generated static electricity can be quickly removed, and the damage caused by the static electricity of the image display device can be reduced, which is a preferable embodiment.
 また、前記導電性層は、導電性機能をもつ下塗り層であってもよく、導電成分を含んだ粘着剤であってもよく、さらに導電成分を含んだ表面処理層であってもよい。例えば、ポリチオフェン等の導電性高分子及びバインダーを含有する帯電防止剤組成物を用いて、偏光フィルムと多層化粘着剤層との間に導電性層を形成する方法を採用することができる。更に、帯電防止剤であるイオン性化合物を含む粘着剤も用いることができる。また、前記導電性層は1層以上有することが好ましく、2層以上含んでいてもよい。 Further, the conductive layer may be an undercoat layer having a conductive function, an adhesive containing a conductive component, or a surface treatment layer containing a conductive component. For example, a method of forming a conductive layer between a polarizing film and a multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by using an antistatic agent composition containing a conductive polymer such as polythiophene and a binder can be adopted. Further, a pressure-sensitive adhesive containing an ionic compound which is an antistatic agent can also be used. Further, the conductive layer preferably has one or more layers, and may include two or more layers.
 [フレキシブル画像表示装置]
 本発明のフレキシブル画像表示装置は、上記のフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムと、有機EL表示パネルとを含み、有機EL表示パネルに対して視認側にフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムが配置され、折り曲げ可能に構成されている。任意ではあるが、フレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルムに対して視認側にウインドウを配置することができる(図1~図3参照)。
[Flexible image display device]
The flexible image display device of the present invention includes the above-mentioned adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device and an organic EL display panel, and the adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device is on the visual side with respect to the organic EL display panel. It is arranged and configured to be foldable. Although optional, a window can be arranged on the viewing side with respect to the adhesive optical film for a flexible image display device (see FIGS. 1 to 3).
 図1は、本発明によるフレキシブル画像表示装置の1つの実施形態を示す断面図である。このフレキシブル画像表示装置100は、フレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルム11と、折り曲げ可能に構成された有機EL表示パネル10を含む。そして、有機EL表示パネル10に対して、視認側にフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルム11が配置され、フレキシブル画像表示装置100は折り曲げ可能に構成されている。また、任意ではあるが、フレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルム11に対して、視認側に透明なウインドウ40が第1の多層化粘着剤層12-1を介して配置させることができる。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the flexible image display device according to the present invention. The flexible image display device 100 includes an adhesive optical film 11 for a flexible image display device and an organic EL display panel 10 configured to be foldable. An adhesive optical film 11 for a flexible image display device is arranged on the visual side with respect to the organic EL display panel 10, and the flexible image display device 100 is configured to be bendable. Further, although optional, a transparent window 40 can be arranged on the visual side of the adhesive optical film 11 for a flexible image display device via the first multilayer adhesive layer 12-1.
 フレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルム11は、光学積層体20と、更に、第2の多層化粘着剤層12-2、及び、第3の多層化粘着剤層12-3を構成する粘着剤層とを含む。 The adhesive optical film 11 for a flexible image display device comprises an optical laminate 20, a second multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12-2, and a third multi-layered pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12-3. Including layers.
 光学積層体20は、偏光膜1、透明樹脂材料の保護膜2及び位相差膜3を含む。透明樹脂材料の保護膜2は、偏光膜1の視認側の第1面に接合される。位相差膜3は、偏光膜1の第1面とは異なる第2面に接合される。偏光膜1と位相差膜3は、例えば、偏光膜1の視認側から内部に入射した光が内部反射して視認側に射出されることを防止するために円偏光を生成したり、視野角を補償したりするためのものである。 The optical laminate 20 includes a polarizing film 1, a protective film 2 made of a transparent resin material, and a retardation film 3. The protective film 2 made of a transparent resin material is joined to the first surface of the polarizing film 1 on the visible side. The retardation film 3 is joined to a second surface different from the first surface of the polarizing film 1. The polarizing film 1 and the retardation film 3 generate circular polarization or have a viewing angle, for example, in order to prevent light incident on the inside of the polarizing film 1 from the viewing side from being internally reflected and emitted to the viewing side. It is for compensating for.
 本実施形態においては、従来偏光膜の両面に保護膜が設けられていたのに対して、片面のみに保護膜が設けられる構成とされ、偏光膜自体も従来の有機EL表示装置に使用されている偏光膜に比べて、非常に薄い厚み(20μm以下)の偏光膜が使用されることによって、光学積層体20の厚みが低減することができる。また、偏光膜1は、従来の有機EL表示装置に使用されている偏光膜に比べて非常に薄いので、温度又は湿度条件で発生する伸縮による応力が極めて小さくなる。したがって、偏光膜の収縮によって生じる応力が隣接する有機EL表示パネル10に反り等の変形を生じさせる可能性が大幅に軽減され、変形に起因する表示品質の低下やパネル封止材料の破壊を大幅に抑制することが可能になる。また、厚みの薄い偏光膜の使用により、屈曲を阻害することがなく、好ましい態様となる。 In the present embodiment, the protective film is provided on both sides of the conventional polarizing film, whereas the protective film is provided on only one side, and the polarizing film itself is also used in the conventional organic EL display device. The thickness of the optical laminate 20 can be reduced by using a polarizing film having a thickness very thin (20 μm or less) as compared with the polarizing film. Further, since the polarizing film 1 is much thinner than the polarizing film used in the conventional organic EL display device, the stress due to expansion and contraction generated under temperature or humidity conditions becomes extremely small. Therefore, the possibility that the stress caused by the shrinkage of the polarizing film causes deformation such as warpage in the adjacent organic EL display panel 10 is greatly reduced, and the deterioration of display quality and the destruction of the panel encapsulating material due to the deformation are greatly reduced. It becomes possible to suppress. Further, the use of a thin polarizing film does not hinder bending, which is a preferable embodiment.
 光学積層体20を、保護膜2側を内側として折り曲げる場合、光学積層体20の厚み(例えば、92μm以下)を薄くし、第1の多層化粘着剤層12-1を保護膜2に対して位相差膜3とは反対側に配置することによって、光学積層体20にかかる応力を低減することが可能となり、これにより光学積層体20が折り曲げ可能となり、また、屈曲部において各層の割れや粘着剤層の剥がれを抑制することができ、最終的にフレキシブル画像表示装置用粘着型光学フィルム11を折り曲げ可能とすることができる。 When the optical laminate 20 is bent with the protective film 2 side as the inside, the thickness of the optical laminate 20 (for example, 92 μm or less) is reduced, and the first multilayer adhesive layer 12-1 is applied to the protective film 2. By arranging it on the side opposite to the retardation film 3, it is possible to reduce the stress applied to the optical laminate 20, whereby the optical laminate 20 can be bent, and each layer is cracked or adhered at the bent portion. The peeling of the agent layer can be suppressed, and finally the adhesive optical film 11 for a flexible image display device can be bent.
 任意ではあるが、位相差膜3に対して、保護膜2とは反対側に、タッチセンサを構成する折り曲げ可能な透明導電層6が更に配置されることができる。透明導電層6は、例えば特開2014-219667号公報に示されるような製造方法によって位相差膜3に直接接合される構成とし、これにより光学積層体20の厚みが低減され、光学積層体20を折り曲げた場合の光学積層体20にかかる応力をより低減することができる。 Although optional, a bendable transparent conductive layer 6 constituting the touch sensor can be further arranged on the side opposite to the protective film 2 with respect to the retardation film 3. The transparent conductive layer 6 is configured to be directly bonded to the retardation film 3 by, for example, a manufacturing method as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-219667, whereby the thickness of the optical laminate 20 is reduced, and the optical laminate 20 is reduced.

 光源、サンプル(光源が粘着面側)、スクリーンをこの順で設置して、スクリーンに投影された、サンプルの透過画像をCCDカメラにより測定した。光源およびCCDカメラからサンプル(無アルカリガラス板に貼り付けた粘着剤層)までの距離は30cmになるように配置した。また光源およびCCDカメラからスクリーンまで距離は100cmになるように配置した。光源およびCCDカメラは、サンプル、スクリーンからの距離が同じになるように20cm離して設置した。ISC-S値は、スジムラの評価に係わり、ISC-S値が50以下であればムラを小さく制御できていると判断できる。
〔Evaluation method〕
<ISC-S value>
Using EyeScale-4W manufactured by Eye System Co., Ltd., the level of in-plane unevenness of the adhesive layer is set to the ISC-S value in the ISC-S measurement mode of the 3CCD image sensor based on the specifications of the device. It was calculated as.
(Measurement condition)
One separator of the multilayer pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a separator prepared in Examples 1 to 8 was peeled off, a non-alkali glass plate (1737 manufactured by Corning Inc.) was attached to the adhesive surface, and then the other separator was peeled off. Then, the one in which the adhesive surface from which the other separator was peeled off was attached to a special jig was used as a sample. Further, a non-alkali glass plate (1737 manufactured by Corning Inc.) was attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer with a separator prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and then the separator was peeled off. Then, the one in which the adhesive surface from which the separator was peeled off was attached to a special jig was used as a sample. The non-alkali glass plate used does not affect the ISC-S value.
