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 an image display panel and an image display device each provided with 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. On the other hand, when the polarizing film with an adhesive layer is attached to a liquid crystal cell in the production of an image display panel, the release film is peeled from the adhesive layer of the polarizing film with an adhesive layer, and static electricity is generated due to the peeling of the release film. Such static electricity generated in this way affects the alignment of the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal display panel, for example, and causes a problem. The generation of static electricity can be suppressed by forming an antistatic layer on the outer surface of the polarizing film, for example.
For example, in order to suppress the generation of static electricity, an antistatic optical film with an adhesive layer is proposed, in which an antistatic layer (conductive layer) containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible conductive polymer is provided on at least one surface of an optical film (for example, a polarizing film), and an adhesive layer is laminated on the antistatic layer (patent document 1). In addition, it is also known that the generation of static electricity can be suppressed by adding an ionic compound to a binder as an antistatic agent (patent document 2).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
According to the polarizing films having the antistatic layer described in patent documents 1 and 2, generation of static electricity can be suppressed. However, it is known that when an antistatic layer formed of a conductive polymer described in patent document 1 is directly formed on a polarizer of a one-sided protective polarizing film, the conductive polymer adversely affects the polarizer, and discoloration occurs at an end portion of the polarizer in a humidified environment. In addition, it is known that when the adhesive layer containing an antistatic agent described in patent document 2 is applied to a polarizer for protecting a polarizing film on one side, the antistatic agent intrudes into the inside of the polarizer in a humidified environment, whereby discoloration occurs at the end portion of the polarizer, and there is also a problem that the antistatic function of the adhesive layer is lowered.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a polarizing film with an adhesive layer, which can suppress discoloration of the end of a polarizer in a humidified environment, even when a conductive layer is provided on the polarizer side of a single-sided protective polarizing film having a transparent protective film on only one side of the polarizer.
The present invention also provides an image display panel and an image display device to which the polarizing film with an adhesive layer is applied.

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, since the conductive layer is provided on the surface of the one-sided protective polarizing film, which is not provided with the transparent protective film, static electricity generation can be suppressed. Further, since the conductive layer is provided on the polarizer through the transparent layer, the conductive layer does not directly affect the polarizer, and discoloration of the end portion of the polarizer in a humidified environment can be suppressed.
In addition, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on the conductive layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed by adding an ionic compound to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the antistatic performance can be improved by the conductive layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. In addition, in the case of a configuration in which an ionic compound is added to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, segregation of the ionic compound contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the polarizer can be suppressed by the transparent layer, and therefore, an increase in the resistance value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed even in a humidified environment.
As described above, according to the polarizing film with an adhesive layer of the present invention, even though the one-sided protective polarizing film is used, deterioration of the optical reliability of the polarizer can be suppressed, and the polarizing film with an adhesive layer which is thin, has good optical reliability, and is excellent in antistatic property over a long period of time can be provided.

< 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 variation in the surface resistance value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be controlled to be small. 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.
Transparent layer >, transparent layer
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 capable of suppressing the influence of the conductive layer on the polarizer can be used. As such a material, for example, a forming material containing a urethane prepolymer (a) which is a reactant of an isocyanate compound and a polyol is cited.
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. Other polyfunctional isocyanate compounds may be used in combination with the aromatic isocyanate compounds. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Among them, in particular, an anionic component containing a fluorine atom can provide an ionic compound having good ion dissociability, and thus is preferably used.
The organic cation-anion salt is suitably selected from compounds comprising a combination of the above-mentioned cation component and anion component. Preferable specific examples of the organic cation-anion salt include, for example: methyl trioctylammonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide, 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidine Bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide, ethylmethylimidazole +.>Bis (fluorosulfonyl imide). Of these, 1-methyl-1-propylpyrrolidine is more preferable>Bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide, ethylmethylimidazole +.>Bis (fluorosulfonyl imide).
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.
The ionic compound (B) may be used alone or in combination of plural kinds in order to obtain a desired resistance value. 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/≡. For example, in the liquid crystal panel with built-in touch sensing function shown in fig. 2, it is preferable to control the initial surface resistance value of the adhesive layer to 1×10 8 ～1×10 10 Omega/≡. In the liquid crystal panel of the semi-embedded type shown in fig. 3 or the embedded type built-in touch sensor function shown in fig. 4, it is preferable that the initial surface resistance value of the adhesive layer is controlled to be 1×10 10 ～1×10 12 Omega/≡.
When the amount of the ionic compound (B) increases, the ionic compound (B) may precipitate, and further, humidification peeling may easily occur.

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. Examples of the organic crosslinking agent include: isocyanate-based crosslinking agents, peroxide-based crosslinking agents, epoxy-based crosslinking agents, imine-based crosslinking agents, and the like. The polyfunctional metal chelate is a chelate obtained by covalently or coordinately bonding a polyvalent metal and an organic compound. As the polyvalent metal atom, al, cr, zr, co, cu, fe, ni, V, zn, in, ca, mg, mn, Y, ce, sr, ba, mo, la, sn, ti can be exemplified. Examples of the atoms in the covalently or coordinately bonded organic compound include oxygen atoms, and examples of the organic compound include alkyl esters, alcohol compounds, carboxylic acid compounds, ether compounds, and ketone compounds.
As the crosslinking agent (C), an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent and/or a peroxide-based crosslinking agent is preferable.

The peroxide may be used suitably as long as it is a peroxide that generates a radical active species by heating or light irradiation and crosslinks a base polymer of the adhesive composition, but in view of handleability and stability, it is preferable to use a peroxide having a 1-minute half-life temperature of 80 to 160 ℃, and more preferable to use a peroxide having a 1-minute half-life temperature of 90 to 140 ℃.
Examples of the peroxide that can be used include: di (2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate (1-min half-life temperature: 90.6 ℃), di (4-t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate (1-min half-life temperature: 92.1 ℃), di (sec-butyl) peroxydicarbonate (1-min half-life temperature: 92.4 ℃), t-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (1-min half-life temperature: 103.5 ℃), t-hexyl peroxypivalate (1-min half-life temperature: 109.1 ℃), t-butyl peroxypivalate (1-min half-life temperature: 110.3 ℃), dilauroyl peroxide (1-min half-life temperature: 116.4 ℃), di (1-min half-life temperature: 117.4 ℃), di (1, 3-tetramethylbutyl) peroxy2-ethylhexanoate (1-min half-life temperature: 124.3 ℃), di (4-methylbenzoyl) peroxide (1-min half-life temperature: 128.2 ℃), t-butyl peroxyisobutyrate (1-min half-life temperature: 109.1-min half-life temperature: 1-life temperature: 136; 1-cyclohexane (1-t-life temperature: 149 ℃)). Among them, bis (4-t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate (1-minute half-life temperature: 92.1 ℃ C.), dilauryl peroxide (1-minute half-life temperature: 116.4 ℃ C.), dibenzoyl peroxide (1-minute half-life temperature: 130.0 ℃ C.), and the like can be preferably used because of particularly excellent crosslinking reaction efficiency.
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. Specific examples of the silane coupling agent include: epoxy-containing silane coupling agents such as 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyl triethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyl methyldiethoxysilane, 2- (3, 4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane, amino-containing silane coupling agents such as 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, N-2- (aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyl methyldimethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N- (1, 3-dimethylbutylidene) propylamine, N-phenyl-gamma-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-acryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropyl triethoxysilane, and isocyanate-containing silane coupling agents such as 3-isocyanatopropyl triethoxysilane. As the silane coupling exemplified above, an epoxy group-containing silane coupling agent is preferable.
As the silane coupling agent (D), a silane coupling agent having a plurality of alkoxysilyl groups in the molecule may be used. Specific examples include: x-41-1053, X-41-1059, A, X-41-1056, X-41-1805, X-41-1818, X-41-1810, X-40-2651, etc. manufactured by Xinyue chemical Co. 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. Having a large epoxy group content is particularly preferable.
The silane coupling agent (D) may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more kinds, and the total content thereof is preferably 5 parts by weight or less, more preferably 0.001 to 5 parts by weight, still more preferably 0.01 to 1 part by weight, still more preferably 0.02 to 1 part by weight, still more preferably 0.05 to 0.6 part by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the (meth) acrylic polymer (a), to improve the durability.
The adhesive composition of the present invention may contain a polyether compound (E) having a reactive silyl group. The polyether compound (E) is preferable in that the re-operability can be improved. The polyether compound (E) may be a polyether compound disclosed in, for example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2010-275522.
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).
As a method for forming the adhesive layer, for example, a method in which the adhesive composition is applied to a separator or the like subjected to a peeling treatment, and after drying to remove a polymerization solvent or the like, the adhesive layer is formed and then transferred to an optical film (polarizing film) can be used; or a method of forming an adhesive layer on an optical film by applying the adhesive composition to an optical film (polarizing film), and drying to remove a polymerization solvent or the like. 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.

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 liquid crystal panel having the touch sensing function are shown in fig. 2 to 4. In fig. 2 to 4, 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. 2 to 4 in the form of the first polarizing film 11, the first adhesive layer 21.
Fig. 2 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. 2, 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. 3 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. 3, 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. 4 shows a so-called built-in touch-sensing-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. 4, 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. Therefore, the touch-sensor-function-incorporated liquid crystal panel of the present invention can be suitably used in the above-described example for the in-line type (modification) shown in fig. 3 or the out-line type touch-sensor-incorporated liquid crystal panel shown in fig. 4.
The first polarizing film 11 of the liquid crystal cell C disposed on the viewing side and the second polarizing film 12 disposed on the opposite side of the viewing side may be used by laminating other optical films according to the adaptability of the respective disposed positions. Examples of the other optical film include: a reflection plate, a counter-transmission plate, a phase difference film (including a 1/2 wave plate, a 1/4 wave plate, and the like), a visual compensation film, a brightness enhancement film, and the like are optical films as optical layers used in the formation of liquid crystal display devices and the like in some cases. These other optical films may use 1 layer or more than 2 layers. In the case of using these other optical films, it is also preferable to use an adhesive layer closest to the liquid crystal layer 3 side as the first adhesive layer 21.
The liquid crystal layer 3 included in the liquid crystal cell C is a liquid crystal layer suitable for a liquid crystal panel having a built-in touch sensing function, and includes liquid crystal molecules that are uniformly aligned in the absence of an electric field. As the liquid crystal layer 3, for example, an IPS mode liquid crystal layer is preferably used. As the liquid crystal layer 3, any type of liquid crystal layer such as a TN type, an STN type, a pi type, a VA type, or the like can be used. The thickness of the liquid crystal layer is, for example, about 1.5 μm to 4 μm.
In the liquid crystal cell C, the first transparent substrate 41 and the second transparent substrate 42 can sandwich the liquid crystal layer 3 to form a liquid crystal cell. Depending on the form of the liquid crystal panel having the touch sensing function, the touch sensor section 5, the drive electrode/sensor section 6, the drive electrode 7, and the like are formed in or out of the liquid crystal cell. In addition, a color filter substrate may be provided on the liquid crystal cell (first transparent substrate 41).
Examples of the material forming the transparent substrate include glass and a polymer film. Examples of the polymer film include: polyethylene terephthalate, polycycloolefin, polycarbonate, and the like. When the transparent substrate is made of glass, the thickness thereof is, for example, about 0.3mm to 1 mm. When the transparent substrate is formed of a polymer film, the thickness thereof is, for example, about 10 μm to 200 μm. The transparent substrate may have an easy-to-adhere layer and a hard coat layer on the surface thereof.
The touch sensor portion 5 (capacitive sensor), the drive electrode/sensor portion 6, and the drive electrode 7 are formed as transparent conductive layers. The constituent material of the transparent conductive layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include: metals such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, aluminum, nickel, chromium, titanium, iron, cobalt, tin, magnesium, tungsten, and alloys of these metals. The transparent conductive layer may be formed of a metal oxide of indium, tin, zinc, potassium, antimony, zirconium, or cadmium, and specifically, indium oxide, tin oxide, titanium oxide, cadmium oxide, or a mixture thereof. Further, other metal compounds composed of copper iodide or the like are used. The metal oxide may further contain an oxide of a metal atom shown in the above group, if necessary. For example, indium oxide (ITO) containing tin oxide, tin oxide containing antimony, or the like is preferably used, and ITO is particularly preferably used. The ITO preferably contains 80 to 99% by weight of indium oxide and 1 to 20% by weight of tin oxide.
The position of the touch sensor layer 5 formed in the liquid crystal cell C is not limited, and the touch sensor layer 5 may be formed according to the form of a liquid crystal panel having a built-in touch sensing function. For example, in fig. 2 to 4, a case where the touch sensor layer 5 is arranged between the first polarizing film 11 and the liquid crystal layer 3 is illustrated. The touch sensor layer 5 may be formed in the form of a transparent electrode pattern on the first transparent substrate 41, for example. The drive electrode/sensor unit 6 and the drive electrode 7 may be patterned with transparent electrodes according to a conventional method depending on the form of the liquid crystal panel having the touch sensing function. The transparent electrode pattern is generally electrically connected to a lead line (not shown) formed at an end portion of the transparent substrate, and the lead line is connected to a controller IC (not shown). The transparent electrode pattern may have any shape other than a comb shape, such as a stripe shape or a diamond shape, depending on the application. The transparent electrode pattern has a height of, for example, 10nm to 100nm and a width of 0.1mm to 5mm.
In addition, the liquid crystal panel having a touch sensing function can be suitably used as a member for forming a liquid crystal display device, such as a member using a backlight or a reflective plate in an illumination system.
