Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments below. In all the drawings below, the scale is appropriately adjusted to facilitate understanding of each component, and the scale of each component shown in the drawings does not necessarily coincide with the scale of the actual component.
< laminate >
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a laminate (hereinafter, also referred to as "laminate" as omitted) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The laminate 1 shown in fig. 1 includes an optical member 2, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, and an optical member 2 in this order. The laminate 1 is a laminate including a structure in which 1 optical member is laminated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer interposed therebetween, and is a laminate including a structure in which only optical members are laminated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer interposed therebetween.
The laminate has flexibility. The flexible property means that the laminate can be bent without causing cracks or fractures when the laminate is bent. Having flexibility preferably means that cracks and fractures do not occur even in the case of performing 3 ten thousand times of bending with a bending radius of 2.5mm of the inner surface of the laminate.
The thickness of the laminate 1 varies depending on the functions required for the laminate 1, the application of the laminate 1, and the like, and is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 50 μm or more and 1000 μm or less, preferably 100 μm or more and 500 μm or less, and more preferably 100 μm or more and 300 μm or less.
The shape of the laminate 1 in plan view may be, for example, a square shape, preferably a square shape having long sides and short sides, and more preferably a rectangle. When the laminate 1 has a rectangular shape in plan view, the length of the long side may be, for example, 10mm to 1400mm, and preferably 50mm to 600 mm. The length of the short side is, for example, 5mm or more and 800mm or less, preferably 30mm or more and 500mm or less, and more preferably 50mm or more and 300mm or less.
When the laminate 1 has a square shape in plan view, the lengths of the sides of the layers constituting the laminate 1 may be the same. Each layer constituting the laminate 1 may be subjected to R processing at a corner, or grooving or drilling at an end.
In the present specification, a planar view means a view from the thickness direction of the layer.
As described above, in the laminate 1, when repeated bending is performed in at least one direction in the plane so that the bending radius of the inner surface of the laminate 1 is 2.5mm, it is preferable that cracks and fractures do not occur even if the number of bending times is 3 ten thousand.
In the laminate 1, when repeated bending is performed so that the bending radius of the inner surface of the laminate 1 becomes 2.5mm in at least one direction in the plane, cracking and breaking do not occur even if the number of bending is more preferably 5 ten thousand, even more preferably 10 ten thousand, and even more preferably 30 ten thousand. In the laminate 1, it is preferable that the number of bending times in which cracks and breaks do not occur when the above repeated bending is performed is in the above range with respect to at least one direction in the plane and a direction orthogonal thereto.
In the present specification, the bending includes a bent form in which a curved surface is formed at a bent portion. In the bent form, the bending radius of the inner surface of the bend is not particularly limited. The bend includes a bent form in which the inner surface has a bend angle of more than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and a folded form in which the inner surface has a bend radius of approximately zero or the inner surface has a bend angle of 0 degrees.
In the structure in which the optical members are laminated with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween, for example, when the optical member, the adhesive layer, and the optical member are formed into a unit structure (hereinafter, also referred to as a structure 1), the optical member may be formed into a single structure 1 or may be formed into a plurality of structures 1. In the case of a structure including a plurality of structures 1, 2 or more structures 1 may be stacked via an adhesive layer, or one optical member constituting the structure 1 may be bonded to another optical member via an adhesive layer. The optical members may be of the same kind or different kinds, but preferably are of different kinds. The adhesive layers may have the same composition or different compositions, but preferably have the same composition.
The structure in which the optical members are laminated with the adhesive layer interposed therebetween may include a structure in a polarizing plate and a structure between retardation films, which will be described later. For example, the polarizer included in the polarizing plate may be laminated with the retardation film or the retardation layer via an adhesive layer, laminated with the retardation film and the retardation layer via an adhesive layer, or laminated with the retardation films or the retardation layers via an adhesive layer. More specifically, there are a structure in which a polarizer contained in a polarizing plate and a λ/4 plate are laminated via an adhesive layer, a structure in which a λ/4 plate and a positive C plate or a λ/2 plate are laminated via an adhesive layer, and the like.
When the laminate includes 2 or more structures 1, these structures may be bonded via an adhesive layer or a bonding layer described later.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of at least 1 structure among the structures in which the optical members are laminated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer interposed therebetween satisfies the following formula (i).
The rate of change in thickness per unit number of bends [%/ten thousand ] < 10(i)
From the viewpoint of improving the bendability, the rate of change [%/ten thousand times ] in the thickness per unit number of bending of at least 1 of the optical members stacked via the adhesive layer is preferably 5 or less, more preferably 4 or less, and even more preferably 2 or less. From the viewpoint of improving the bendability, it is preferable that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers of the structure in which the optical members are laminated via the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer satisfy formula (i).
So-called per unit bendRate of change in thickness of degree [%/ten thousand]When the laminate was repeatedly bent 1 ten thousand times so that the inner surface had a bending radius of 2.5mm, the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at the initial stage, that is, the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at 0 bending times was T0When the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by repeating the bending 1 ten thousand times is T1, it can be obtained according to the following equation.
Rate of change in thickness per unit number of bends [%/ten thousand times]=│T1-T0│/T0×100
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the rate of change [%/ten thousand times of the thickness per unit number of bending of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be determined by the methods described in the examples section below.
The present inventors have found that, when the laminate is repeatedly bent, the adhesive layer included in the structure in which the optical members are laminated via the adhesive layer tends to increase in thickness. The present inventors have studied the relationship between the rate of change in the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the flexibility, and as a result, they have found that the smaller the rate of change in the thickness per unit number of bending, the better the flexibility of the laminate. This is presumably because if the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is increased, stress generated in the laminate when the laminate is bent increases, and cracks and fractures are likely to occur.
In order to make the rate of change [%/ten thousand times ] in thickness per unit number of bending less than 10, for example, adjustment of the production conditions of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, selection of the pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the like can be performed. As the adjustment of the production conditions of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, for example, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed from an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, if the irradiation amount of active energy rays is increased to increase the degree of curing of the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, the rate of change [%/ten thousand times ] in thickness per unit number of bending tends to be small. In addition, if the amount of the crosslinking agent in the adhesive composition is increased, the rate of change in thickness per unit number of bending [%/ten thousand ] tends to be easily decreased.
Further, when a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a large storage elastic modulus [ MPa ] or a high recovery rate is used, the rate of change [%/ten thousand times ] in thickness per unit number of bending tends to be small. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer satisfying the above formula (i) may be, for example, 5 μm or more.
The storage elastic modulus [ MPa ] of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at a temperature of 25 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55% may exceed, for example, 0.02MPa, preferably 0.03MPa or more, and more preferably 0.05MPa or more. On the other hand, the storage elastic modulus [ MPa ] of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 0.1MPa or less, and more preferably 0.08MPa or less. When the storage elastic modulus [ MPa ] of the laminate is in the above range, the change in the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer tends to be small even when the laminate is repeatedly bent. The storage elastic modulus [ MPa ] of the laminate can be measured by the method described in the examples section below.
The recovery rate [% ] of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at a temperature of 25 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55% may be, for example, 25% or more, preferably 30% or more. On the other hand, the adhesive layer usually has a recovery rate [% ] of, for example, 70% or less, preferably 60% or less. When the recovery rate [% ] of the laminate is within the above range, the change in thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer tends to be small even when the laminate is repeatedly bent. The recovery rate [% ] of the laminate can be measured according to the method described in the following examples.
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing still another example of the laminate of the present invention. The laminate 4 shown in fig. 2 includes an optical member 5, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6, and an optical member 5 in this order. The laminate 4 is a laminate including the above-described structure 1, and is a laminate having a structure in which only optical members are laminated with each other via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

The laminate 7 shown in fig. 3 includes an optical member 8, an adhesive layer 9, an optical member 8, a bonding layer 10, an optical member 8, an adhesive layer 9, and an optical member 8 in this order. The laminate 7 is a laminate including 2 optical members laminated via an adhesive layer, and the optical members are bonded to each other via the bonding layer 10.

Examples of the front panel include a glass plate (e.g., a glass plate, a glass film, etc.) and a resin plate (e.g., a resin plate, a resin sheet, a resin film, etc.). Among the above, from the viewpoint of flexibility of the laminate and the image display device including the same, a plate-like body made of a resin such as a resin film is preferable.
Examples of the thermoplastic resin constituting the plate-like body made of a resin such as a resin film include polyolefin resins such as a chain polyolefin resin (e.g., a polyethylene resin, a polypropylene resin, and a polymethylpentene resin) and a cyclic polyolefin resin (e.g., a norbornene resin); cellulose resins such as triacetyl cellulose; polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate and polybutylene terephthalate; a polycarbonate resin; ethylene-vinyl acetate-based resin; a polystyrene-based resin; a polyamide resin; a polyetherimide resin; (meth) acrylic resins such as polymethyl (meth) acrylate resins; a polyimide-based resin; a polyether sulfone-based resin; a polysulfone-based resin; a polyvinyl chloride resin; a polyvinylidene chloride resin; a polyvinyl alcohol resin; a polyvinyl acetal resin; a polyether ketone resin; a polyether ether ketone resin; a polyether sulfone-based resin; polyamide-imide resins, and the like.
The thermoplastic resin may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more.
Among them, polyimide-based resins, polyamide-based resins, and polyamideimide-based resins are preferably used as the thermoplastic resin constituting the front panel from the viewpoint of flexibility, strength, and transparency.
The front panel may be a film having a hard coat layer provided on at least one surface of the base film to further increase the hardness. As the base film, the above resin film can be used.
The hard coat layer may be formed on one surface of the substrate film or on both surfaces. By providing the hard coat layer, hardness and scratch resistance can be improved. The thickness of the hard coat layer may be, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 30 μm or less, preferably 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less, and more preferably 5 μm or more and 15 μm or less.

[ polarizing plate ]
Examples of the polarizing plate include a stretched film or a stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon, and a film including a polarizer obtained by coating and curing a polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye thereon. When the pigment is dispersed and oriented in a medium having anisotropy, the pigment may look colored in a certain direction and almost colorless in a direction perpendicular to the direction. A dye exhibiting such a phenomenon is referred to as a dichroic dye. As the dichroic dye, specifically, iodine or a dichroic organic dye can be used. The dichroic organic dye includes a dichroic direct dye composed of a disazo compound such as c.i. direct red 39, and a dichroic direct dye composed of a compound such as trisazo or tetraazo.
Examples of the film obtained by applying and curing a polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye include a film containing a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, such as a layer obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a dichroic dye having liquid crystallinity or a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable liquid crystal.
A film obtained by applying and curing a polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye is preferable because the film is not limited in the bending direction as compared with a stretched film or a stretched layer having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon. Therefore, in order to obtain a laminate in which the number of times of bending in which cracks are not generated when the repeated bending is performed in at least one direction in the plane and in the direction orthogonal thereto, and further in all the directions in the plane is in the above range, it is preferable that the polarizing plate includes a film as a polarizer, which is obtained by applying and curing a polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye.
(1) Polarizing plate comprising polarizer as stretched film or stretched layer
A polarizer as a stretched film having a dichroic dye adsorbed thereon can be generally produced through the following steps: the method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol film comprises a step of uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol resin film, a step of dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with a dichroic dye to adsorb the dichroic dye, a step of treating the polyvinyl alcohol resin film adsorbed with the dichroic dye with an aqueous boric acid solution, and a step of washing the polyvinyl alcohol resin film with water after the treatment with the aqueous boric acid solution. The polarizer may be used as it is, or a polarizing plate obtained by laminating a transparent protective film on one or both surfaces thereof may be used. The thickness of the polarizer is preferably 2 μm or more and 40 μm or less.
The polyvinyl alcohol resin is obtained by saponifying a polyvinyl acetate resin. As the polyvinyl acetate-based resin, in addition to polyvinyl acetate which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate, a copolymer of vinyl acetate and another monomer copolymerizable therewith may be used. Examples of the other monomer copolymerizable with vinyl acetate include unsaturated carboxylic acids, olefins, vinyl ethers, unsaturated sulfonic acids, and (meth) acrylamides having an ammonium group.

The polarizer as the stretched layer having the dichroic dye adsorbed thereon can be generally produced through the following steps: the method for producing a polarizer includes a step of applying a coating liquid containing the polyvinyl alcohol resin onto a base film, a step of uniaxially stretching the obtained laminated film, a step of dyeing a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer of the uniaxially stretched laminated film with a dichroic dye to adsorb the dichroic dye to produce a polarizer, a step of treating the film adsorbed with the dichroic dye with an aqueous boric acid solution, and a step of washing the film with water after the treatment with the aqueous boric acid solution.
The substrate film may be peeled off from the polarizer as necessary. The material and thickness of the base film may be the same as those of the thermoplastic resin film described later.
The polarizer as the stretched film or the stretched layer may be incorporated in the optical laminate in a form in which a thermoplastic resin film is bonded to one surface or both surfaces thereof. The thermoplastic resin film can function as a protective film or a retardation film for polarizers.

The thermoplastic resin film may or may not have a phase difference.
The thermoplastic resin film may be bonded to the polarizer using an adhesive layer, for example.
(2) Polarizing plate having polarizer made of film obtained by coating and curing polymerizable compound containing dichroic dye
Examples of the film obtained by applying and curing the polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye include a film containing a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, such as a layer obtained by applying and curing a composition containing a polymerizable dichroic dye having liquid crystallinity or a composition containing a dichroic dye and a polymerizable liquid crystal onto a base film (or an alignment film formed on a base film).
The film can be used as a polarizing plate by peeling off the substrate or using it together with the substrate. The material and thickness of the base film may be the same as those of the thermoplastic resin film described above.
The film obtained by applying and curing the polymerizable compound containing the dichroic dye may be incorporated in the laminate in a form in which a thermoplastic resin film is bonded to one surface or both surfaces thereof. As the thermoplastic resin film, the same thermoplastic resin film as that usable for a polarizer as a stretched film or a stretched layer can be used.
The thermoplastic resin film may be bonded to the polarizer using an adhesive layer, for example. Specific examples of the film obtained by applying and curing a polymerizable compound containing a dichroic dye include films described in japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2012-33249 and the like.
