Description

Polarizing film with adhesive layer and image display device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a polarizing film with an adhesive layer. The present invention also relates to a laminate comprising a transparent conductive substrate to which the polarizing film with an adhesive layer is applied. The present invention also relates to an image display device using the laminate. The present invention also relates to an image display panel and an image display device using the polarizing film with an adhesive layer.
Background
In the image display panel of the present invention, for example, a liquid crystal panel used in a liquid crystal display device or the like, a polarizing film is generally laminated on both sides of a liquid crystal cell formed of a pair of transparent substrates and a liquid crystal layer disposed therebetween via an adhesive layer. Such an adhesive layer is required to have high durability, and for example, in a durability test using heating, humidification, or the like, which is generally performed as an environmental acceleration test, it is required that defects such as peeling and lifting of the adhesive layer do not occur.
Various studies have been made on such an adhesive composition for optical use, and for example, an adhesive composition has been proposed which does not cause peeling or foaming even when placed under high humidity and heat conditions after an optical film is attached (for example, refer to patent document 1).
There are members in which a transparent conductive layer such as an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin film or an organic conductive film using a conductive polymer is formed on one transparent substrate constituting a liquid crystal cell of a liquid crystal panel. The transparent conductive layer plays a role of preventing light leakage (charging unevenness) caused by alignment disorder of the liquid crystal layer due to charging by static electricity. In the case of using the liquid crystal display device for a touch panel, the transparent conductive layer functions as a shielding electrode for separating a driving electric field in the liquid crystal cell from the touch panel. In view of the above, a polarizing film with an adhesive layer has been proposed which can maintain a stable surface resistance value in a humidified environment even when the polarizing film is bonded to the transparent conductive layer (patent document 2).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
As the polarizing film with an adhesive layer, there is a case where an adhesive layer is provided on a single-sided protective polarizing film having a transparent protective film provided only on one side of a polarizer and no transparent protective film provided on the other side. Since the single-sided protective polarizing film with an adhesive layer has a transparent protective film on only one side, the polarizing film can be thinned and the cost of one transparent protective film can be reduced as compared with the case where transparent protective films are provided on both sides. On the other hand, it is known that when the single-sided protective polarizing film with an adhesive layer is applied to a transparent conductive layer, one surface of the polarizer is not covered with the transparent protective film, and therefore, in the system using an iodine-based polarizer as the polarizer, iodine and/or iodide ions generated by the iodine-based polarizer may pass through the adhesive layer and corrode the transparent conductive layer. Further, if the transparent conductive layer is corroded, the surface resistance increases, and display unevenness due to electrification is likely to occur. In addition, it is known that when a liquid crystal display device is used for a touch panel, a shielding function is lowered, and thus there is a concern that malfunction of the touch panel may occur.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film with an adhesive layer, which is a polarizing film with an adhesive layer provided on a single-sided protective polarizing film having a transparent protective film on only one side of an iodine-based polarizing film, and which can maintain a stable surface resistance value of a transparent conductive layer even when the adhesive layer is bonded to the transparent conductive layer and placed in a humidified environment.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a laminate comprising the transparent conductive substrate to which the polarizing film with an adhesive layer is applied. The present invention also provides an image display panel and an image display device using the polarizing film with an adhesive layer or the laminate.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
The polarizing film used in the polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention is a single-sided protective polarizing film having a transparent protective film on only one surface of a polarizer, and is advantageous from the viewpoints of thickness reduction and cost reduction. On the other hand, in the polarizing film with an adhesive layer in which an adhesive layer is applied to a one-sided protective polarizing film, when an iodine-based polarizer is used as a polarizer and the adhesive layer is bonded to a transparent conductive layer, there is no concern that iodine and/or iodide ions generated by the iodine-based polarizer pass through the adhesive layer and corrode the transparent conductive layer. In the present invention, a transparent layer is provided between the polarizer and the adhesive layer in the polarizing film with an adhesive layer, and therefore, movement of iodine and/or iodide ions in the polarizer to the adhesive layer can be suppressed by the transparent layer. Therefore, it is considered that corrosion of the transparent conductive layer due to iodine and/or iodide ions can be suppressed even in a humidified environment, and the surface resistance value of the transparent conductive layer can be maintained within a desired value range for a long period of time, so that stable optical characteristics can be satisfied. In addition, it is considered that display unevenness due to electrification can be suppressed, and occurrence of malfunction can be suppressed.
As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-attached polarizing film of the present invention has excellent durability to the transparent conductive layer even in a humidified environment, and according to the present invention, a laminate including a transparent conductive substrate to which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-attached polarizing film is applied, and an image display panel and an image display device using the laminate can be provided.

The adhesive layer 21 is provided on the one-sided protective polarizing film 11 through the transparent layer c. In order to suppress an increase in the moisture content of the polarizer in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the transparent layer c is preferably directly provided on the polarizer a.

< polarizing film with adhesive layer >
First, each member constituting the polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention will be described.
The polarizer is not particularly limited, and various polarizers may be used. Examples of the polarizer include: a polarizer obtained by unidirectionally stretching a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol film, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer partially saponified film, which is adsorbed with a dichroic material such as iodine or a dichroic dye; and a polyene oriented film such as a dehydrated polyvinyl alcohol product or a desalted polyvinyl chloride product. Among them, a polarizer containing a polyvinyl alcohol film and a dichroic substance such as iodine is preferable. The thickness of these polarizers is not particularly limited, but is generally about 80 μm or less.
As the polarizer, a thin polarizer having a thickness of 10 μm or less may be used. From the viewpoint of thickness reduction, the thickness is preferably 1 to 7. Mu.m. Such a thin polarizer is preferable in that it has little unevenness in thickness, excellent visibility, and little dimensional change, and therefore, it has excellent durability, and further, it can be thinned as a polarizing film thickness.
As a material constituting the transparent protective film, for example, a thermoplastic resin excellent in transparency, mechanical strength, thermal stability, moisture barrier property, isotropy, and the like can be used. Specific examples of such thermoplastic resins include: cellulose resins such as triacetyl cellulose, polyester resins, polyethersulfone resins, polysulfone resins, polycarbonate resins, polyamide resins, polyimide resins, polyolefin resins, (meth) acrylic resins, cyclic polyolefin resins (for example, norbornene resins), polyarylate resins, polystyrene resins, polyvinyl alcohol resins, mixtures thereof, and the like. A transparent protective film may be bonded to one side of the polarizer through an adhesive layer, and a thermosetting resin such as (meth) acrylic, urethane, acrylic urethane, epoxy, or silicone or an ultraviolet curable resin may be used as the transparent protective film on the other side.
As a material of the transparent protective film, a cellulose resin and a (meth) acrylic resin are preferable because the above-mentioned change ratio of the surface resistance value of the transparent conductive layer to which the adhesive layer is attached can be controlled to a small level. As the (meth) acrylic resin, a (meth) acrylic resin having a lactam ring structure is preferably used. Examples of the (meth) acrylic resin having a lactam ring structure include (meth) acrylic resins having a lactam ring structure described in JP-A-2000-230016, JP-A-2001-151814, JP-A-2002-120326, JP-A-2002-254544, JP-A-2005-146084, and the like. In particular, cellulose resin is preferable to (meth) acrylic resin in terms of effectively suppressing cracks of the polarizer, which is a problem in the one-side protective polarizing film.
The transparent protective film may be provided with a functional layer such as a hard coat layer, an antireflection layer, an anti-sticking layer, a diffusion layer, an antiglare layer, etc. on one surface to which the polarizer is not bonded.
The adhesive used for bonding the polarizer and the transparent protective film is not particularly limited as long as it is optically transparent, and various types of adhesives such as aqueous, solvent-based, hot-melt-based, radical-curable, and cationic-curable adhesives can be used, and aqueous adhesives or radical-curable adhesives are preferable.

Hereinafter, the transparent layer will be described in detail.
The thickness of the transparent layer is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 5 μm or less, still more preferably 3 μm or less, still more preferably 1.5 μm or less, still more preferably 1 μm or less, from the viewpoints of reduction in thickness and optical reliability. If the transparent layer is too thick, the thickness of the polarizing film becomes thick, and there is a concern that the optical reliability of the polarizer may be lowered. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing the fluctuation ratio of the surface resistance value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to a small level, the thickness of the transparent layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 0.2 μm or more, and still more preferably 0.3 μm or more.
As a material for forming the transparent layer, a material having transparency and having a predetermined ratio of change in surface resistance of the transparent conductive layer to which the adhesive layer is attached can be used. Examples of such a material include a urethane prepolymer (a) containing a reaction product of an isocyanate compound and a polyol.
The isocyanate compound is preferably a polyfunctional isocyanate compound, and specifically, a polyfunctional aromatic isocyanate compound, an alicyclic isocyanate compound, an aliphatic isocyanate compound, a dimer thereof, or the like is exemplified.

In the present invention, as the urethane prepolymer (a), a material having a rigid structure in which a cyclic structure (benzene ring, cyanurate ring, isocyanurate ring, etc.) occupies a large proportion of the structure is preferably used. For example, the polyfunctional isocyanate compound may be used singly or in combination of 1 or 2 or more, but from the viewpoint of suppressing the mixing of moisture into the polarizer, an aromatic isocyanate compound is preferable.

In particular, among the aromatic isocyanate compounds, at least 1 selected from toluene diisocyanate and diphenylmethane diisocyanate is preferably used as the isocyanate compound.

The urethane prepolymer (a) is a compound having a terminal isocyanate group, and can be obtained by, for example, mixing an isocyanate compound with a polyol, stirring the mixture, and reacting the mixture. It is generally preferable to mix the isocyanate compound with the polyol in such a manner that the isocyanate groups are in excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of the polyol.
The urethane prepolymer (a) may be a urethane prepolymer having a terminal isocyanate group to which a protecting group is added. Examples of the protecting group include oximes and lactams. The urethane prepolymer in which the isocyanate groups are protected is heated to dissociate the protecting groups from the isocyanate groups, thereby reacting the isocyanate groups.
The material for forming the transparent layer may contain, in addition to the urethane prepolymer (a), a compound (b) having at least 2 functional groups having active hydrogen reactive with isocyanate groups. Examples of the functional group having an active hydrogen reactive with an isocyanate group include a hydroxyl group and an amino group. The more the number of functional groups having active hydrogen in the compound (b), the more the reaction sites with the isocyanate groups of the urethane prepolymer (a) are, the more easily a cured product is formed, and therefore the number of functional groups is preferably 3 or more.
The molecular weight of the compound (b) divided by the number of functional groups is preferably 350 or less. By defining the relationship between the molecular weight and the number of functional groups, the reactivity of the compound (b) with the isocyanate group of the urethane prepolymer (a) can be ensured.

In view of preventing deterioration of optical reliability of the polarizer, it is preferable to use a polyol as the above-mentioned compound (b), and in view of reactivity with the urethane prepolymer (a), trimethylol propane is particularly preferable.
The above-mentioned forming material contains the above-mentioned urethane prepolymer (a) as a main component. The urethane prepolymer (a) preferably contains 50% by weight or more of the solid content of the forming material.
The blending ratio of the compound (b) to the urethane prepolymer (a) is preferably 5% by weight or more based on 100% by weight (solid content ratio) of the total of the urethane prepolymer (a) and the compound (b). The blending ratio of the compound (b) is preferably 10% by weight or more from the viewpoint of improving the film strength. On the other hand, when the blending ratio of the compound (b) is large, deterioration of the optical reliability of the polarizer may occur, and therefore, the blending ratio of the compound (b) is preferably 80% by weight or less, more preferably 50% by weight or less.

In general, the reaction catalyst is used in an amount of 5 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane prepolymer (a). When the amount of the reaction catalyst is large, the crosslinking reaction speed becomes high, and foaming of the formed material is caused. Even if the foaming-finished material is used, sufficient adhesion cannot be obtained. In general, when a reaction catalyst is used, it is preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 4 parts by weight.
In addition, in order to improve the reactivity of isocyanate groups, a reaction catalyst may be used.

The amount of the reaction catalyst used is usually 5 parts by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of the urethane prepolymer. When the amount of the reaction catalyst is large, the crosslinking reaction speed becomes high, and foaming of the formed material occurs. Even if the foaming-finished material is used, sufficient adhesion cannot be obtained. In general, when a reaction catalyst is used, it is preferably 0.01 to 5 parts by weight, more preferably 0.05 to 4 parts by weight.

Further, triethylamine and the like are exemplified as the amine catalyst. In addition, cobalt naphthenate, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, and the like can be exemplified as the reaction catalyst other than the above.
The above-mentioned forming material is usually used in the form of a solution containing the above-mentioned urethane prepolymer (a) and the above-mentioned compound (b). The solution may be solvent-based or aqueous such as emulsion, colloidal dispersion or aqueous solution.

The organic solvent may be used in an amount of 1 or 2 or more in combination. The organic solvent may be different solvents for the urethane prepolymer (a) and the compound (b). In this case, after each solution is prepared, each solution may be mixed, thereby preparing a formation material. In addition, an organic solvent may be further added to the prepared formation material, thereby adjusting the viscosity of the formation material. In the case of a solvent-based solution dissolved in an organic solvent, alcohols, water, and the like, which are exemplified below, may be contained as the solvent.
The organic solvents include: aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons such as hexane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane; halogenated alkanes such as 1, 2-dichloroethane; ethers such as t-butyl methyl ether; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, and acetylacetone.
In the case of being aqueous, for example, alcohols such as n-butanol and isopropyl alcohol, and ketones such as acetone may be blended. In the case of forming the urethane prepolymer into an aqueous form, the urethane prepolymer may be formed by using a dispersant, or by introducing a functional group having low reactivity with an isocyanate group, such as a carboxylate, sulfonate, or quaternary ammonium salt, or a water-dispersible component, such as polyethylene glycol.
< epoxy resin >)
Further, as a material for forming the transparent layer, an epoxy resin is exemplified.

By using the epoxy resin, the change with time of the surface resistance value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed, the adhesion to the polarizer is more excellent, and discoloration from the end of the polarizer can be prevented. In addition, when the adhesive layer is formed on the transparent layer, the anchoring force of the adhesive layer can be improved.

The content ratio of the polymer (a) to the epoxy resin (b) in the composition is 95:5 to 60:40 or 40:60 to 1:99 by weight. By setting the content ratio of the polymer (a) to the epoxy resin (b) to the above range, a resin composition for a transparent layer can be obtained which can suppress the change in the surface resistance value of the adhesive layer with time, has excellent adhesion to a polarizer, and can prevent discoloration from the end of the polarizer. In addition, when the adhesive layer is formed on the transparent layer by setting the content ratio of the polymer (a) to the epoxy resin (b) to the above range, the anchoring force of the adhesive layer can be improved. As a result, a polarizing plate (one-side protective polarizing film with a transparent layer) can be obtained that combines adhesion between the polarizer and the transparent layer and anchoring force of the adhesive layer formed on the transparent layer. The content ratio of the polymer (a) to the epoxy resin (b) is preferably 95:5 to 80:20 or 20:80 to 5:95, more preferably 90:10 to 70:30 or 30:70 to 10:90 in terms of weight ratio. The closer the content ratio of the polymer (a) to the epoxy resin (b) is to the equivalent amount (50:50), the more the protective layer may be whitened.
< Polymer (a) >)
The polymer (a) is obtained by polymerizing more than 50 parts by weight of an acrylic monomer and more than 0 parts by weight and less than 50 parts by weight of a monomer represented by the general formula (1).

The polymer (a) has a boron-containing substituent (for example, a repeating unit of k in the following formula) in a side chain by polymerizing a monomer represented by the above general formula (1) with an acrylic monomer component. This improves adhesion between the polarizer and the layer (transparent layer) formed using the resin composition. The boron-containing substituent may be contained continuously or randomly in the polymer.

The weight average molecular weight of the polymer (a) is preferably 250000 or less, more preferably 200000 or less, and further preferably 150000 or less. When the weight average molecular weight of the polymer (a) is in the above range, the crack resistance of a layer (transparent layer) formed using the resin composition can be improved. The weight average molecular weight can be measured by GPC (solvent: dimethylformamide (DMF)).
The glass transition temperature of the polymer (a) is preferably 50℃or higher, more preferably 60℃or higher, and still more preferably 80℃or higher. The glass transition temperature of the polymer (a) is preferably 300℃or lower.

The adhesive base polymer is selected according to the kind of the above adhesive. Among the above adhesives, acrylic adhesives are preferably used in view of excellent optical transparency, excellent adhesion characteristics such as suitable wettability, cohesiveness and adhesiveness, and excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.
The acrylic adhesive is prepared from an adhesive composition containing a (meth) acrylic polymer (A). Hereinafter, the adhesive composition will be described.
The (meth) acrylic polymer (a) contains an alkyl (meth) acrylate (a 1) as a monomer unit as a main component. The term "meth" acrylate means an acrylate and/or a methacrylate, and the meaning of the term "meth" is the same as that of the present invention.
As the alkyl (meth) acrylate constituting the main skeleton of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a), there may be exemplified a linear or branched alkyl (meth) acrylate having 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. Examples of the alkyl group include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, heptyl, 2-ethylhexyl, isooctyl, nonyl, decyl, isodecyl, dodecyl, isotetradecyl, lauryl, tridecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, and octadecyl. They may be used alone or in combination. The average number of carbon atoms of these alkyl groups is preferably 3 to 9.
The weight ratio of the alkyl (meth) acrylate (a 1) in the weight ratio of all the constituent monomers (100% by weight) constituting the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) is preferably 70% by weight or more in terms of the monomer units. The weight ratio of the alkyl (meth) acrylate (a 1) may be considered to be the remainder of the other comonomer. The weight ratio of the alkyl (meth) acrylate (a 1) is preferably set to the above range in order to ensure adhesion.
For the purpose of improving the adhesion and heat resistance, 1 or more kinds of comonomers having a polymerizable functional group having an unsaturated double bond such as a (meth) acryloyl group or vinyl group may be copolymerized in the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) in addition to the monomer unit of the alkyl (meth) acrylate (a 1).
As the above comonomer, for example, there can be exemplified: amide group-containing monomers, carboxyl group-containing monomers, hydroxyl group-containing monomers, and the like. Among these, the amide group-containing monomer (a 2) is preferable when the ionic compound (B) described later is blended.
When an amide group introduced into a side chain of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) as a base polymer is present in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition used for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the presence of the amide group is preferable in that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be prevented from increasing in terms of fluctuation in surface resistance value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adjusted by blending the ionic compound (B) even in a humidified environment, and is kept within a desired value range. The presence of the amide group introduced into the side chain of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) as a functional group of the comonomer is considered to improve the compatibility of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) with the ionic compound (B).
In addition, when the adhesive layer has an amide group introduced into a side chain of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a) as a base polymer, durability against both glass and a transparent conductive layer (ITO layer or the like) is good, and peeling, tilting or the like can be suppressed in a state of being attached to a liquid crystal panel. In addition, durability can be satisfied even in a humidified environment (after a humidification reliability test).
The amide group-containing monomer (a 2) is a compound having an amide group in its structure and having a polymerizable unsaturated double bond such as a (meth) acryloyl group or a vinyl group. Specific examples of the amide group-containing monomer (a 2) include acrylamide-based monomers such as (meth) acrylamide, N-dimethyl (meth) acrylamide, N-diethyl (meth) acrylamide, N-isopropyl acrylamide, N-methyl (meth) acrylamide, N-butyl (meth) acrylamide, N-hexyl (meth) acrylamide, N-hydroxymethyl-N-propyl (meth) acrylamide, aminomethyl (meth) acrylamide, aminoethyl (meth) acrylamide, mercaptomethyl (meth) acrylamide, mercaptoethyl (meth) acrylamide, and the like; n-acryl heterocyclic monomers such as N- (meth) acryl morpholine, N- (meth) acryl piperidine, and N- (meth) acryl pyrrolidine; n-vinyl lactam-containing monomers such as N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinyl-epsilon-caprolactam. The amide group-containing monomer (a 2) is preferable in terms of suppressing an increase in the surface resistance value with time (particularly in a humidified environment) and satisfying durability. In particular, among the amide group-containing monomers (a 2), the N-vinyl lactam-containing monomers are preferable in terms of suppressing an increase in the surface resistance value and satisfying durability against the transparent conductive layer (touch sensor layer) in the case of time (in particular, in a humidified environment). Although not illustrated in the above, the amide group-containing monomer having a hydroxyl group tends to improve conductivity when combined with the ionic compound (B), and when the proportion of the amide group-containing monomer having a hydroxyl group to be used increases, there are problems in anchoring force with a polarizing film (optical film) and reworkability with a transparent conductive layer (touch sensor layer), and therefore, it is preferable not to use the compound.
The weight ratio of the amide group-containing monomer (a 2) is preferably 0.1% by weight or more from the viewpoint of suppressing an increase in the surface resistance value with time (particularly in a humidified environment). The weight ratio is preferably 0.3% by weight or more, more preferably 0.5% by weight or more. On the other hand, if the weight ratio becomes too large, the anchoring property to a base film such as a polarizing film tends to be lowered, and therefore, the weight ratio is preferably 35% by weight or less, more preferably 30% by weight or less, and further preferably 25% by weight or less.
The carboxyl group-containing monomer is a compound having a carbonyl group in its structure and having a polymerizable unsaturated double bond such as a (meth) acryloyl group or vinyl group. Specific examples of the carboxyl group-containing monomer include, for example: carboxylic ethyl (meth) acrylate, carboxylic pentyl (meth) acrylate, itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid, and the like.

Among the above hydroxyl group-containing monomers, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate are preferred, and 4-hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of durability.
When the adhesive composition contains a crosslinking agent, the carboxyl group-containing monomer and the hydroxyl group-containing monomer form reaction sites with the crosslinking agent. Since the carboxyl group-containing monomer, the hydroxyl group-containing monomer and the intermolecular crosslinking agent have high reactivity, the carboxyl group-containing monomer and the intermolecular crosslinking agent are preferably used in order to improve the cohesiveness and heat resistance of the obtained adhesive layer. The carboxyl group-containing monomer is preferable in terms of durability and reworkability, and the hydroxyl group-containing monomer is preferable in terms of reworkability.
The weight ratio of the carboxyl group-containing monomer is preferably 2% by weight or less, more preferably 0.01 to 2% by weight, still more preferably 0.05 to 1.5% by weight, still more preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight, and most preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight. The weight ratio of the carboxyl group-containing monomer is preferably 0.01% by weight or more in terms of durability. On the other hand, if it exceeds 2 wt%, it is not preferable in view of re-operability. The carboxyl group-containing monomer may not be particularly used in terms of suppressing corrosion of the transparent conductive layer.
The above weight ratio of the hydroxyl group-containing monomer is preferably 3% by weight or less, more preferably 0.01 to 3% by weight, still more preferably 0.1 to 2% by weight, still more preferably 0.2 to 2% by weight. From the viewpoint of crosslinking the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, durability, and adhesive properties, the weight ratio of the hydroxyl group-containing monomer is preferably 0.01% by weight or more. On the other hand, if it exceeds 3 wt%, it is not preferable in terms of durability.
In addition, as the comonomer, for example, can be used: aromatic ring-containing (meth) acrylates. The aromatic ring-containing (meth) acrylate is a compound having an aromatic ring structure in its structure and containing a (meth) acryloyl group.

The aromatic ring-containing (meth) acrylate is preferably benzyl (meth) acrylate or phenoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, and particularly preferably phenoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, in view of the adhesive properties and durability.
The weight ratio of the aromatic ring-containing (meth) acrylate is preferably 25% by weight or less, more preferably 3 to 25% by weight, still more preferably 10 to 22% by weight, and still more preferably 14 to 20% by weight. When the weight ratio of the aromatic ring-containing (meth) acrylate is 3% by weight or more, it is preferable to suppress the occurrence of the irregular square. On the other hand, when the content is more than 25% by weight, the suppression of unevenness is insufficient, and durability tends to be lowered.

The ionic compound (B) may be an inorganic salt such as ammonium chloride, aluminum chloride, copper chloride, ferrous chloride, ferric chloride, or ammonium sulfate, in addition to the alkali metal salt and the organic cation-anion salt.

In particular, to control the surface resistance value of the adhesive layer to be 1×10 10 ~1×10 12 When the range of Ω/≡is in the range, the alkali metal salt is preferable as the ionic compound (B) in terms of improving antistatic performance, and even if the amount of the alkali metal salt to be blended is small, an adhesive having high antistatic performance can be obtained. On the other hand, to control the surface resistance value of the adhesive layer to 1X 10 8 ~1×10 10 In the case where Ω/≡is in the range, the ionic compound (B) is preferably an organic cation-anion salt from the viewpoint of improving antistatic performance, and even if the amount of the organic cation-anion salt to be blended is small, an adhesive having high antistatic performance can be obtained.
The proportion of the ionic compound (B) in the adhesive composition of the present invention may be appropriately adjusted so that the antistatic property of the adhesive layer and the sensitivity of the touch panel are satisfied. For example, it is preferable to consider the weight ratio of the amide group-containing monomer (a 2) introduced into the (meth) acrylic polymer (a), the kind of transparent protective film of the polarizing film, and the like, and to adjust the ratio of the ionic compound (B) so that the surface resistance value of the adhesive layer becomes 1.0×10 according to the kind of liquid crystal panel incorporating the touch sensing function 8 ~1.0×10 12 Omega/≡.

From this viewpoint, the ionic compound (B) is preferably 0.1 part by weight or more, more preferably 0.5 part by weight or more. On the other hand, if the ionic compound (B) increases, the surface resistance value becomes too low, and there is a possibility that the sensitivity of the touch panel may be lowered due to a baseline fluctuation (malfunction at the time of touch caused by the surface resistance value being too low).
The adhesive composition of the present invention may contain a crosslinking agent (C). As the crosslinking agent (C), an organic crosslinking agent or a polyfunctional metal chelate can be used.

The amount of the crosslinking agent (C) is preferably 3 parts by weight or less, more preferably 0.01 to 3 parts by weight, still more preferably 0.02 to 2 parts by weight, and still more preferably 0.03 to 1 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer (A). If the amount of the crosslinking agent (C) is less than 0.01 part by weight, the adhesive layer may be insufficiently crosslinked to fail to satisfy durability and adhesive properties, whereas if it is more than 3 parts by weight, the adhesive layer may be excessively hard and durability may be deteriorated.
The adhesive composition of the present invention may contain a silane coupling agent (D). By using the silane coupling agent (D), durability can be improved.

These silane coupling agents having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups in the molecule are not easily volatilized, and are preferable because having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups is effective for improving durability. In particular, when the adherend of the optical film with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a transparent conductive layer (for example, ITO or the like) which is less susceptible to alkoxysilyl groups than glass, durability is also suitable. The silane coupling agent having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups in the molecule is preferably one having an epoxy group in the molecule, and more preferably one having a plurality of epoxy groups in the molecule. Silane coupling agents having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups in the molecule and epoxy groups tend to have good durability even when the adherend is a transparent conductive layer (for example, ITO or the like). Specific examples of the silane coupling agent having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups and epoxy groups in the molecule include X-41-1053 and X-41-1059-A, X-41-1056 manufactured by Xinshi chemical Co., ltd, and X-41-1056 manufactured by Xinshi chemical Co., ltd.

The polyether compound (E) is preferable in that the re-operability can be improved.

The proportion of the polyether compound (E) in the adhesive composition of the present invention is preferably 10 parts by weight or less, and preferably 0.001 to 10 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a). When the polyether compound (E) is less than 0.001 parts by weight, the effect of improving the reworkability may be insufficient. The polyether compound (E) is preferably 0.01 parts by weight or more, more preferably 0.1 parts by weight or more. On the other hand, when the polyether compound (E) is more than 10 parts by weight, it is not preferable in terms of durability. The polyether compound (E) is preferably 5 parts by weight or less, more preferably 2 parts by weight or less. The proportion of the polyether compound (E) may be set to a preferable range by using the upper limit or the lower limit.

These additives are used preferably in a range of 5 parts by weight or less, more preferably 3 parts by weight or less, still more preferably 1 part by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a).

In the case of applying the adhesive, one or more solvents other than the polymerization solvent may be newly added.
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and is, for example, about 1 to 100. Mu.m, preferably 2 to 50. Mu.m, more preferably 2 to 40. Mu.m, still more preferably 5 to 35. Mu.m.

The conductive layer may be formed of various antistatic compositions. As the antistatic agent for forming the conductive layer, ionic surfactants, conductive polymers, conductive fine particles, carbon nanotubes, and the like can be used.
Among these antistatic agents, conductive polymers and carbon nanotubes are preferably used from the viewpoints of optical characteristics, appearance, antistatic effects, and stability of antistatic effects when heated and humidified. Particularly, a conductive polymer such as polyaniline or polythiophene is preferably used. The conductive polymer may be an organic solvent-soluble, water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer, and preferably a water-soluble conductive polymer or a water-dispersible conductive polymer. This is because the water-soluble conductive polymer and the water-dispersible conductive polymer can be prepared as an aqueous solution or an aqueous dispersion to form a coating liquid for forming an antistatic layer, and the coating liquid does not require a nonaqueous organic solvent, and can suppress the denaturation of the optical film substrate due to the organic solvent. The aqueous solution or dispersion may contain an aqueous solvent other than water. Examples may include: alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, t-butanol, n-pentanol, isopentyl alcohol, sec-pentanol, t-pentanol, 1-ethyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, n-hexanol, and cyclohexanol.
The water-soluble conductive polymer such as polyaniline and polythiophene and the water-dispersible conductive polymer preferably have a hydrophilic functional group in the molecule. Examples of the hydrophilic functional group include: a sulfonic acid group, an amino group, an amide group, an imide group, a quaternary ammonium salt group, a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, a hydrazine group, a carboxyl group, a sulfate group, a phosphate group, or a salt thereof, or the like. The water-soluble conductive polymer or the water-dispersible conductive polymer can be easily prepared by having a hydrophilic functional group in a molecule, which is easily dissolved in water and easily dispersed in water in a particulate form.
Examples of the commercially available water-soluble conductive polymer include polyaniline sulfonic acid (150000 in terms of weight average molecular weight converted to polystyrene, manufactured by Mitsubishi Yang Zhushi Co., ltd.). Examples of the commercial products of the water-dispersible conductive polymer include polythiophene-based conductive polymers (trade name Denatron series, manufactured by Nagase Chemtex).
In addition, as a material for forming the conductive layer, a binder component may be added together with the antistatic agent in order to improve film formability of the antistatic agent, adhesiveness to an optical film, and the like. In the case where the antistatic agent is a water-soluble conductive polymer or an aqueous material of a water-dispersible conductive polymer, a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder component is used. As examples of the binder, there may be mentioned: containing Oxazoline-based polymers, polyurethane-based resins, polyester-based resins, acrylic resins, polyether-based resins, cellulose-based resins, polyvinyl alcohol-based resins, epoxy resins, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polystyrene-based resins, polyethylene glycol, pentaerythritol, and the like. Particularly preferred are polyurethane resins, polyester resins, and acrylic resins. These binders may be used in an amount of 1 or 2 or more in combination as appropriate for the purpose.
The amount of antistatic agent and binder may vary depending on the kind thereof, but is preferably such that the surface resistance value of the resulting conductive layer becomes 1X 10 8 ~1×10 12 Ω/≡is controlled.
< laminate >
Hereinafter, a description will be given of the laminate shown in fig. 3, which is the transparent conductive layer formed by bonding the adhesive layer of the polarizing film with an adhesive layer to the transparent conductive substrate having the transparent conductive layer on the transparent substrate.

The ITO preferably contains 80 to 99% by weight of indium oxide and 1 to 20% by weight of tin oxide.
The ITO may be crystalline ITO or amorphous ITO, and is preferably used.
Examples of the transparent conductive layer of the transparent conductive substrate include a metal mesh formed by forming fine metal wires in a lattice pattern and a transparent conductive layer formed by coating fine metal particles. Any suitable metal (including alloy materials) may be used as the constituent metal material as long as it is a metal having high conductivity. Specifically, for example, 1 or more metals selected from gold, platinum, silver, aluminum and copper are preferable, and aluminum, silver, copper or gold is preferable from the viewpoint of conductivity.
The thickness of the transparent conductive layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10nm to 1000nm, more preferably 50 to 400nm.
The method for forming the transparent conductive layer is not particularly limited, and conventionally known methods can be used.

In the case of applying the coating liquid, examples thereof include: micro gravure coating, roll coating, dip coating, flow coating, spin coating, die coating, cast transfer, spray coating, and the like. In addition, in the case of a metal mesh, it can be obtained by, for example, the following method: a photosensitive composition (composition for forming a transparent conductive layer) containing a silver salt is applied to an adherend such as a release film, and then subjected to exposure treatment and development treatment to form fine metal wires into a predetermined pattern. The transparent conductive layer may be obtained by printing a paste (composition for forming a transparent conductive layer) containing fine metal particles into a predetermined pattern. In addition, a suitable method may be employed depending on the required film thickness.
The transparent base material is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent substrate, and examples thereof include glass and transparent resin film base materials. The transparent resin film substrate may be the substrate described above.
If necessary, an undercoat layer, an anti-oligomer layer, or the like may be provided between the transparent conductive layer and the transparent substrate.

Further, a touch panel such as a resistive film type or a capacitive type may be used.
Image display panel and image display device
The polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention can be applied to various image display portions to form an image display panel. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-equipped polarizing film of the present invention has a small fluctuation ratio of the surface resistance value, and can be suitably applied to a liquid crystal panel having a built-in touch sensing function. In particular, the adhesive layer of the polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention and the image display panel having a transparent conductive substrate having a transparent conductive layer are suitably applied to the adhesive layer of the polarizing film with an adhesive layer to be bonded to the transparent conductive layer of the image display panel.
The polarizing film with the adhesive layer and the transparent conductive substrate were as described above. The image display panel is preferably provided with the transparent conductive substrate, and forms a part of the image display device together with the adhesive-equipped polarizing film.
A liquid crystal panel of a representative embodiment of an image display panel to which the polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention is applied will be described. A liquid crystal cell used in a liquid crystal panel includes a transparent conductive substrate having a transparent conductive layer on a transparent substrate, and the transparent conductive substrate is generally provided on a surface of the liquid crystal cell on a viewing side. The liquid crystal cell including the transparent conductive substrate used in the present invention is composed of a transparent conductive layer, a transparent substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a transparent substrate.
In addition to the above-described configuration, an optical film such as a retardation film, a viewing angle compensation film, or a brightness enhancement film may be provided in the liquid crystal panel as appropriate.
The liquid crystal layer is not particularly limited, and for example, may be used: any type of liquid crystal layer such as TN type, STN type, pi type, VA type, and IPS type. The transparent substrate 9 (light source side) is not particularly limited as long as it is a transparent substrate, and examples thereof include: glass, transparent resin film base material. The transparent resin film substrate may be the substrate described above.
The polarizing film with an adhesive layer conventionally used in the art may be used on the light source side of the liquid crystal layer, and the corresponding members described in the present specification may be preferably used.
Specific examples of the image display device to which the image display panel can be applied include a liquid crystal display device, an organic Electroluminescence (EL) display, a Plasma Display (PD), and a field emission display (FED: field Emission Display).
The polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention can be applied to various image display panels that can be applied to existing image display devices. Other configurations of the image display apparatus are similar to those of the conventional image display apparatus. The polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention has a feature of suppressing corrosion of a transparent conductive layer and not impairing a shielding function even after long-term use, and is therefore particularly suitable for use in an image display device having a touch panel.
Specific examples of the liquid crystal panel having the touch sensing function are shown in fig. 4 to 6. In fig. 4 to 6, a case where the adhesive layer-attached polarizing film 1 shown in fig. 1 is used as the adhesive layer-attached polarizing film of the present invention on the visible side of a liquid crystal cell is exemplified. That is, the one-sided protective polarizing film 11, the adhesive layer 21 of fig. 1 are shown in fig. 4 to 6 in the form of the first polarizing film 11, the first adhesive layer 21. The polarizing film 1 with the adhesive layer shown in fig. 2 is also applicable to the visible side of the liquid crystal cell of fig. 4 to 6.
Fig. 4 shows a so-called in-line touch-sensing-function-incorporated liquid crystal panel having, from the visible side, a first polarizing film 11, a first adhesive layer 21, a first transparent substrate 41, a touch sensor portion 5, a liquid crystal layer 3, a driving electrode/sensor portion 6, a second transparent substrate 42, a second adhesive layer 22, and a second polarizing film 12. In the liquid crystal panel with built-in touch sensing function of fig. 4, for example, the liquid crystal cell C has the touch sensor portion 5 and the driving electrode/sensor portion 6 in the first and second glass substrates 41 and 42 (in the liquid crystal cell) sandwiching the liquid crystal layer 3.
Fig. 5 is a modified example of a so-called in-line (semi-in-line) liquid crystal panel having a built-in touch sensing function, and has a configuration of first polarizing film 11, first adhesive layer 21, touch sensor portion 5, first transparent substrate 41, liquid crystal layer 3, drive electrode/sensor portion 6, second transparent substrate 42, second adhesive layer 22, and second polarizing film 12 from the visible side. In the liquid crystal panel with built-in touch sensing function of fig. 5, for example, the touch sensor portion 5 is directly in contact with the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 21 on the outer side of the first transparent substrate 41 in the liquid crystal cell C, and the drive electrode/sensor portion 6 is provided on the second transparent substrate 42 side in the first and second glass substrates 41 and 42 (in the liquid crystal cell) sandwiching the liquid crystal layer 3.
Fig. 6 shows a so-called built-in touch sensor function liquid crystal panel having, from the visible side, a first polarizing film 11, a first adhesive layer 21, a touch sensor section 5, a driving electrode/sensor section 6, a first transparent substrate 41, a liquid crystal layer 3, a driving electrode 7, a second transparent substrate 42, a second adhesive layer 22, and a second polarizing film 12. In the liquid crystal panel with built-in touch sensing function shown in fig. 6, for example, the liquid crystal cell C has a touch sensor portion 5 and a driving electrode/sensor portion 6 on the outer side of the first transparent substrate 41, the touch sensor portion 5 is directly in contact with the first adhesive layer 21, and the driving electrode 7 is provided on the side of the second transparent substrate 42 in the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate 41, 42 (in the liquid crystal cell) sandwiching the liquid crystal layer 3.
In the liquid crystal panel having the built-in touch sensing function, when the touch sensor portion 5 of the liquid crystal cell C is in direct contact with the first adhesive layer 21, the antistatic function of the first adhesive layer 21 (containing an ionic compound) tends to be lowered, and particularly in a humidified environment.
