Description

Double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, laminate, and method for producing laminate

The present invention relates to a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a laminate, and a method for producing a laminate.

Display devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and input devices such as touch panels are widely used in various fields. Touch panel systems include a resistive type, a capacitance type, and the like, but the capacitance type is mainly adopted. In the manufacture of display devices equipped with these touch panels, transparent adhesive sheets are used for laminating optical members, and transparent adhesive sheets are also used for laminating display devices and input devices. there is

In display devices such as smartphones equipped with a small touch panel, metal oxides such as ITO were often used for the mesh-shaped electrode sensor (transparent conductive film) located in the screen part from the viewpoint of transparency. In recent years, in the case of a display device equipped with a touch panel having a large screen of 10 inches or more, such as a notebook PC, ITO has insufficient conductivity and sensitivity may decrease and malfunction may occur. An electrode sensor part with a metallic conductive part is used.

When an optical member constituting a display device equipped with a touch panel has a metal conductive portion, using a conventional transparent adhesive sheet may cause problems.
For example, when a mesh-like electrode sensor having a wiring width of several μm is used as a metal conductive portion, there is a problem that the resistance value increases due to mere corrosion and the sensor sensitivity decreases.
In addition, metal is sometimes used for lead wires in the frame part of the screen, but when the distance between the lead wires is set to about 10 μm as the frame of the touch panel is narrowed, there is a problem that ion migration of the metal occurs. can occur. When ion migration occurs, the positive electrode melts and disconnects, and the negative electrode forms dendrites due to deposition of the positive electrode component, resulting in short circuit. In particular, ion migration is extremely likely to occur on the positive electrode side, and ion migration is less likely to occur on the negative electrode side. When evaluating the ion migration, it is preferable to evaluate the parallel wiring rather than the serial wiring, and it is particularly preferable to evaluate the anode side.

In contrast, adhesive sheets that can effectively prevent and suppress ion migration are known. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses an adhesive for forming an adhesive for bonding a first display body constituting member having a step on at least the bonded side and a second display body constituting member. The composition, wherein the first display body component and/or the second display body component has an electrode on at least the surface to be bonded, and the adhesive composition contains (meth)acrylic acid ester An adhesive composition containing a polymer (A), a silane coupling agent (B) having a mercapto group, and an active energy ray-curable component (C) is described.

On the other hand, as a method for preventing corrosion of ITO, which is a metal oxide, Patent Document 2 discloses that a homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 500,000 has a water vapor transmission rate of 500 g/m at 40°C and 90% RH measured by the cup method. ² ·day or less (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester (a-1); 50% by weight or more, hydroxyl group-containing monomer (a-2); 0.5 to 10% by weight, nitrogen-containing monomer (a-3) an acrylic polymer (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more and less than 400,000 substantially free of acidic groups obtained by copolymerizing monomers containing 0.1 to 5% by weight, and a cross-linking agent (B ) and is used for bonding conductive films.

Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a conductive sheet having a support and a conductive portion composed of conductive fine lines disposed on the support and containing metallic silver and gelatin, wherein describes a conductive sheet in which gelatin is not substantially contained and the volume ratio (A/B) of the volume A of metallic silver and the volume B of gelatin in the conductive fine wire is 0.3 to 10.0. ing. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a touch panel including a conductive sheet having this configuration and a transparent adhesive layer disposed on the conductive portion side of the conductive sheet, wherein the adhesive contained in the transparent adhesive layer has an acid value of 100 mgKOH/ g or less, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive has a water absorption rate of 1.0% or less.

Patent Document 1 describes that ion migration can be suppressed by using a silane coupling agent having a mercapto group. It was found that the suppression of ion migration may be insufficient depending on the composition of the adhesive composition such as. Furthermore, the present inventors have found that a new problem in the case of containing a sulfur component in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, such as when a chain transfer agent or silane coupling agent having a mercapto group (thiol) is used, is caused by corrosion of the conductive portion of the metal. It was found that the resistance value increased, and in particular, the resistance value change remarkably occurred due to moist heat environment and ultraviolet rays.
Patent Document 2 focuses only on preventing acid corrosion by using an adhesive that does not substantially contain an acid component as a method for preventing corrosion of ITO. I was only interested in the relationship between
Patent Document 3 does not consider suppression of resistance value change due to corrosion, and in particular, does not suggest at all about resistance value change due to corrosion of metal conductive parts due to wet heat environment and ultraviolet rays. In addition, Patent Document 3 describes stabilizing metallic silver in the conductive portion by using a migration inhibitor such as an organic mercapto compound, but does not suggest suppression of the sulfur content.

After the autoclave treatment, it was left for 24 hours under conditions of 23° C. and 50% RH to prepare a sample for resistance value evaluation.

(Rise in resistance at 85°C, 95% treatment)
A tester was used to measure the initial electrical resistance value between the measurement electrode portions on both ends of the conductive portion of the resistance value evaluation sample. Then, after treating at 85° C. and 95% RH for 240 hours, the electrical resistance value between the electrodes was measured again using a tester. Using the average value of the resistance values before and after the treatment of n=3 measured in this way, the resistance value increase rate was obtained by the following formula 3, and the resistance value increase was evaluated based on the evaluation criteria shown below. In the samples for resistance value evaluation of any of the examples and comparative examples, no floating, peeling, generation of air bubbles, or the like occurred.
