Description

粘着剤組成物、粘着シート、光学積層体及び画像表示装置Adhesive composition, adhesive sheet, optical laminate and image display device
 本発明は、粘着剤組成物、粘着シート、光学積層体及び画像表示装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an adhesive composition, an adhesive sheet, an optical laminate, and an image display device.
 近年、液晶表示装置及びエレクトロルミネセンス(EL)表示装置(例えば、有機EL表示装置、無機EL表示装置)に代表される画像表示装置が急速に普及している。これら各種の画像表示装置は、通常、液晶層、EL発光層等の画像形成層と、光学フィルム及び粘着シートを含む光学積層体と、の積層構造を有している。粘着シートは、主に、光学積層体に含まれるフィルム間の接合や、画像形成層と光学積層体との接合に使用される。光学フィルムの例は、偏光板、位相差フィルム、及び偏光板と位相差フィルムとを一体化した位相差フィルム付き偏光板である。特許文献1には、光学積層体の一例が開示されている。 In recent years, image display devices typified by liquid crystal display devices and electroluminescence (EL) display devices (eg, organic EL display devices and inorganic EL display devices) have rapidly spread. These various image display devices usually have a laminated structure of an image forming layer such as a liquid crystal layer and an EL light emitting layer, and an optical laminate including an optical film and an adhesive sheet. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is mainly used for bonding between films included in the optical layered body and bonding between the image forming layer and the optical layered body. Examples of the optical film are a polarizing plate, a retardation film, and a polarizing plate with a retardation film in which the polarizing plate and the retardation film are integrated. Patent Literature 1 discloses an example of an optical laminate.

 温度変化に伴う光学フィルムの寸法の過度の変化は、画像表示装置における光漏れや色ムラの原因となる。光漏れや色ムラは、位相差フィルム付き偏光板を用いた、比較的大きなサイズを有する画像表示装置において特に生じやすい。また、額縁(ベゼル)が狭く設計された(狭額縁化された)画像表示装置が普及しつつあり、寸法の変化の抑制が、ますます重要となってきている。寸法の変化を抑えるためには、光学積層体に含まれる粘着シートの弾性率を高めることが考えられる。しかし、単に弾性率を高めるだけでは、粘着シートの耐久性が低下して寸法の変化に追従できないことがある。 Excessive changes in the dimensions of the optical film due to temperature changes cause light leakage and color unevenness in image display devices. Light leakage and color unevenness are particularly likely to occur in a relatively large-sized image display device using a polarizing plate with a retardation film. In addition, image display devices designed with a narrow bezel (narrow bezel) are becoming popular, and suppression of dimensional change is becoming more and more important. In order to suppress the dimensional change, it is conceivable to increase the elastic modulus of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet included in the optical layered body. However, simply increasing the elastic modulus may reduce the durability of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, making it impossible to follow changes in dimensions.
 本発明は、光学積層体に含まれる光学フィルムの寸法の変化を抑制しうると共に、耐久性も確保された粘着シートの形成に適した粘着剤組成物の提供を目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition suitable for forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can suppress changes in the dimensions of the optical film contained in the optical laminate and also ensures durability.

 以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。本発明は、以下に示す実施形態に限定されない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown below.
 本明細書において「(メタ)アクリル」とは、アクリル及びメタクリルを意味する。また、「(メタ)アクリレート」とは、アクリレート及びメタクリレートを意味する。 "(Meth)acrylic" as used herein means acrylic and methacrylic. Moreover, "(meth)acrylate" means acrylate and methacrylate.
[粘着剤組成物]

[Adhesive composition]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) of the present embodiment contains a (meth)acrylic polymer (A) and a cross-linking agent (B). The (meth)acrylic polymer (A) is contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) as a main component. In other words, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) is an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. A main component means the component with the largest content rate also in a composition. The content of the main component is, for example, 50% by weight or more, and may be 60% by weight or more, 70% by weight or more, 73% by weight or more, or even 75% by weight or more.
 粘着剤組成物(I)から粘着シートを形成したときに、粘着シートを形成した時点T0から2時間経過した時点での粘着シートのゲル分率G2hは、60重量%未満である。また、時点T0から24時間経過した時点での粘着シートのゲル分率G24hは60重量%以上である。ゲル分率G2hの上記範囲は、粘着剤組成物(I)から粘着シートを形成する際の架橋反応が、T0から2時間が経過するまでの初期段階において比較的ゆっくりと進行することを意味する。上記初期段階における抑制された架橋の速度は、粘着シートにおける架橋構造の均一性を高め、高められた均一性は、粘着シートの耐久性の向上に寄与する。また、ゲル分率G24hが上記範囲にあることは、光学積層体に含まれる光学フィルムの寸法の変化の抑制に寄与する。 When a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is formed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I), the gel fraction G 2h of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet after 2 hours from the time T 0 of forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is less than 60% by weight. In addition, the gel fraction G 24h of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet after 24 hours from time T 0 is 60% by weight or more. The above range of the gel fraction G 2h indicates that the cross-linking reaction in forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) proceeds relatively slowly in the initial stage from T 0 to 2 hours. means. The suppressed speed of cross-linking in the initial stage enhances the uniformity of the crosslinked structure in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the enhanced uniformity contributes to the improvement of the durability of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

For the solvent-type and emulsion-type adhesive composition (I), at time T 0 , the coating film containing the adhesive composition (I) coated on the base film is dried by heating, and then naturally cooled. It can be defined as the point of time when normal temperature is reached. Drying conditions (temperature and time) are, for example, 90° C. and 100 seconds. Normal temperature is 20-25°C. However, the time T 0 can be determined by the time when the temperature reaches 25°C. Various resin films such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film can be used as the base film. For the active energy ray-curable type (photocurable type), the time T 0 can be defined as the time point at which the progress of photocuring is completed by irradiating the coating film containing the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) with an active energy ray. . The photocurable coating film comprises a monomer (group) that becomes a (meth)acrylic polymer (A) by polymerization, a cross-linking agent (B), and, if necessary, a partial polymer of the monomer (group) , a polymerization initiator, an additive, a solvent, and the like. For both the solvent type and the photocurable type, the thickness of the coating film when determining the time T 0 is, for example, the thickness at which the thickness of the adhesive sheet formed is 50 μm.
 各時点のゲル分率は、以下のように評価できる。最初に、各時点の粘着シートから約0.2g掻き取って小片を得る。次に、得られた小片を、ポリテトラフルオロエチレンの延伸多孔質膜(日東電工製NTF1122、平均孔径0.2μm)により包んで凧糸で縛り、試験片とする。次に、得られた試験片の重量Aを測定する。重量Aは、粘着シートの小片、延伸多孔質膜及び凧糸の重量の合計である。使用した延伸多孔質膜及び凧糸の合計の重量Bは、予め測定しておく。次に、酢酸エチルで満たされた内容積50mLの容器に試験片を浸漬して、23℃で1週間静置する。静置後、容器から試験片を取り出し、130℃に設定した乾燥機中で2時間乾燥させた後、試験片の重量Cを測定する。測定した重量A、重量B及び重量Cから、式:ゲル分率(重量%)=(C-B)/(A-B)×100(%)により、ゲル分率を算出する。 The gel fraction at each time point can be evaluated as follows. First, about 0.2 g is scraped from the adhesive sheet for each time point to obtain a small piece. Next, the obtained small piece is wrapped with an expanded porous membrane of polytetrafluoroethylene (NTF1122 manufactured by Nitto Denko, average pore size 0.2 μm) and tied with a kite string to obtain a test piece. Next, the weight A of the obtained test piece is measured. Weight A is the sum of the weights of the adhesive sheet piece, the stretched porous membrane and the kite string. The total weight B of the stretched porous membrane and the kite string used is measured in advance. Next, the test piece is immersed in a container with an internal volume of 50 mL filled with ethyl acetate and allowed to stand at 23° C. for one week. After standing still, the test piece is taken out from the container, dried for 2 hours in a dryer set at 130° C., and then the weight C of the test piece is measured. From the measured weight A, weight B and weight C, the gel fraction is calculated according to the formula: gel fraction (% by weight)=(CB)/(AB)×100(%).

 本発明者らの検討によれば、配合量が上記範囲に達すると、粘着シートの形成時に架橋剤(B)同士が反応して、架橋剤(B)の自己重合体が形成されやすくなる。自己重合体の形成は、粘着シートの凝集力を高めることで、光学フィルムの寸法の変化を抑制しうる粘着シートの形成に寄与する。また、初期段階におけるゲル化の速度が抑えられた粘着剤組成物(I)では、形成された粘着シートにおける自己重合体の析出が抑制され、これにより、粘着シートの均一性を向上しうる。 According to the studies of the present inventors, when the blending amount reaches the above range, the cross-linking agent (B) reacts with each other during the formation of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, facilitating the formation of a self-polymer of the cross-linking agent (B). The formation of the self-polymer increases the cohesive force of the adhesive sheet, thereby contributing to the formation of the adhesive sheet that can suppress the dimensional change of the optical film. In addition, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) in which the speed of gelation in the initial stage is suppressed, precipitation of the self-polymer in the formed pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is suppressed, thereby improving the uniformity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
 粘着剤組成物(I)から形成された粘着シートは、(メタ)アクリル系ポリマー(A)の架橋物と、架橋剤(B)の自己重合体との相互侵入網目(IPN)構造を有していてもよい。IPN構造は、粘着シートの耐久性の向上に適している。 The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet formed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) has an interpenetrating network (IPN) structure of a cross-linked product of the (meth)acrylic polymer (A) and a self-polymer of the cross-linking agent (B). may be The IPN structure is suitable for improving the durability of the adhesive sheet.

However, the cross-linking agent (B) is preferably isocyanate-based. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) contains a cross-linking agent (B) other than an isocyanate type, the total amount is 0.1 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the (meth)acrylic polymer (A). parts are preferred, and 0.1 to 3 parts by weight, 0.1 to 2 parts by weight and 0.1 to 1 part by weight, in that order, are more preferred. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (I) may not contain a cross-linking agent (B) other than an isocyanate-based cross-linking agent, such as an epoxy-based cross-linking agent.

By setting the drying temperature to 130° C. or lower, 120° C. or lower, or further 100° C. or lower, the adhesive sheet 1 having excellent durability can be obtained. In other words, the adhesive sheet 1 may be obtained by drying the coating film of the adhesive composition (I) at a temperature of 130° C. or lower, 120° C. or lower, or further 100° C. or lower. The drying time is, for example, 5 seconds to 20 minutes, and may be 5 seconds to 10 minutes, or even 10 seconds to 5 minutes. For the active energy ray-curable type, the drying temperature and drying time when drying after coating may be within the above ranges.

The upper limit of the storage modulus G' (25°C) is, for example, 5 MPa or less, and may be 3.0 MPa or less, 2.5 MPa or less, or even 2.0 MPa or less. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1 having a storage elastic modulus G' within the above range is more suitable for suppressing changes in the dimensions of the optical film.
 粘着シート1の貯蔵弾性率(25℃)は、以下の方法により評価できる。最初に、粘着シート1を構成する材料でできた測定用サンプルを準備する。測定用サンプルの形状は、円盤状である。測定用サンプルは、底面の直径が8mmであり、厚さが2mmである。測定用サンプルは、複数の粘着シート1が積層された積層体を円盤状に打ち抜いたものであってもよい。次に、測定用サンプルについて動的粘弾性測定を行う。動的粘弾性測定には、例えば、TA Instruments製、ARES-G2を用いることができる。動的粘弾性測定の結果から、粘着シート1の25℃における貯蔵弾性率G’を特定することができる。なお、動的粘弾性測定の条件は、以下のとおりである。

The shape of the measurement sample is disc-shaped. The measurement sample has a bottom diameter of 8 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. A sample for measurement may be obtained by punching a disc-shaped laminate from a laminate in which a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets 1 are laminated. Next, a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement is performed on the measurement sample. For dynamic viscoelasticity measurement, for example, ARES-G2 manufactured by TA Instruments can be used. From the results of the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement, the storage elastic modulus G' of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1 at 25°C can be specified.
