Definitions
- the present invention relates to an image display device having an adhesive layer. Specifically, a unit for an image display device having high durability, in which an optical film laminate and an image display device panel are laminated via an adhesive layer obtained by curing an energy curable adhesive composition, and And an image display apparatus using the unit.
- a polarizer produced by stretching a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (hereinafter referred to as “PVA-based resin”) is easily cracked or split in the stretching direction. Therefore, the polarizer is generally not used alone but in the form of an optical film laminate in which a polarizer protective functional layer for protecting the polarizer and improving durability is formed on both sides.
- a transparent protective film such as triacetyl cellulose (TAC) is usually used.
- TAC triacetyl cellulose
- an optical film laminate having a further improved durability by laminating a layer having an ultraviolet absorbing function or a hard coat layer on the protective film may be used.
- a retardation film for optical compensation may be used as a polarizer protective functional layer.
- an image display device unit used in an image display device is obtained by bonding such an optical film laminate to a substrate of an image display device panel through an adhesive layer.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive used when the image display device panel and the optical film laminate are bonded together can be defined as having the following properties. ⁇ Semi-solid substance with high viscosity and low elastic modulus, which can be bonded to the adherend by applying pressure. ⁇ It can be peeled off from the adherend even after bonding.
- a pressure-sensitive adhesive having such properties that does not change in the process is a kind of adhesive in a broad sense, and expresses adhesive force by applying pressure between two adherends. be called.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive means such a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the conventional optical film laminate generally includes a polarizer and a polarizer protective functional layer on both sides thereof.
- the polarizer protective functional layer may be provided only on one side. If possible, the optical film laminate can be thinned.
- the use of such a single-protective optical film laminate for the production of an image display device makes it possible to reduce the material and the cost by reducing the thickness of the optical film laminate, thereby increasing the size and thickness of the image display device. At present, it is extremely advantageous in terms of environment and cost.
- a polarizer produced by stretching a hydrophilic PVA-based resin has high hygroscopicity and tends to expand and contract due to changes in temperature and humidity. Therefore, when the single protective optical film laminate and the panel for an image display device are bonded together using an adhesive, a dimensional change of the optical film laminate due to heating, humidification, or a rapid temperature change occurs. There is a possibility that cracks in the optical film laminate and peeling between the optical film laminate and the panel for an image display device may occur. Therefore, in the current image display device manufacturing technology using an adhesive, it is difficult to put into practical use a single protective optical film laminate in which a protective functional layer is laminated only on one side of a polarizer.
- Patent Document 1 As a technique for preventing the occurrence of cracks in the single-protective optical film laminate, a technique for forming a coating layer on the surface of a polarizer on which no protective functional layer is laminated has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent No. 4306269) Patent Document 1)).
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent No. 4306269
- Patent Document 1 such an optical film laminate can be used for a small-sized image display device for mobile use because the polarizer is only protected by a coating layer that is extremely thin compared to the thickness of the protective functional layer.
- the required crack resistance cannot be obtained when used in a large-sized image display device that has been required in recent years.
- Patent Document 2 is a technique in which a liquid crystal panel substrate and a polarizing film having a transparent protective layer laminated on only one side are bonded via an adhesive layer made of an active energy ray-curable resin composition containing an epoxy compound. It is related with the optical laminated body laminated
- an optical laminate in which a polarizing film and a liquid crystal panel are laminated via an adhesive is said to be excellent in thin and lightweight properties and durability performance.
- it has been confirmed that the end of the polarizing film is peeled off from the liquid crystal panel when the optical laminate described in Patent Document 2 is large in size.
- an acid generator having a function of generating an acid by light or heat is used to cure the epoxy adhesive. Therefore, there is a problem that the adhesive layer is in direct contact with the surface of the polarizer not provided with the transparent protective layer, and the optical characteristics of the polarizer deteriorate due to the influence of acid. Furthermore, an optical layered body using an epoxy adhesive generally requires a heating process (post-cure) of several tens of minutes after light irradiation, and thus has a problem of low productivity.
- the adhesive is used in distinction from the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive and can be defined as a substance having the following properties.
- ⁇ Initially a fluid, low-viscosity liquid that, when applied to an adherend, sufficiently wets the adherend to increase the contact area and adhere by curing by light irradiation or heating.
- the adhesive having such properties is an energy curable adhesive that develops an adhesive force by being cured by applying energy such as light or heat. Depending on the type of energy applied, for example, an ultraviolet curable adhesive Called thermosetting adhesive.
- an image display device used for a home television is required to be large, thin, and light, and at the same time, the price is being reduced. Therefore, an optical film laminate used for such an image display device is required to have a configuration in which a polarizer protective functional layer is laminated only on one side. However, it is difficult for such an optical film laminate to improve the crack resistance of the polarizer by conventional techniques.
- the non-display area of the screen is also required to be narrowed. Therefore, as the non-display area becomes narrower, even slight peeling between the optical film laminate and the image display apparatus panel at the peripheral edge of the display area may lead to deterioration of display characteristics of the image display apparatus.
- the optical film laminate in which the polarizer protective functional layer is laminated only on one side suppresses the movement of the polarizer shrinking and expanding due to heating, humidification, etc., with the polarizer protective functional layer on one side.
- a dimensional change is large compared with the optical film laminated body by which the polarizer protective function layer was laminated
- the polarizer when a large-sized optical film laminate in which a polarizer protective functional layer is laminated only on one side is used, the polarizer is used not only under a normal use environment but also under a heat shock test.
- the image display device unit and the unit can be used to prevent the occurrence of peeling at the periphery of the optical film laminate and the non-display area due to the shrinkage of the optical film laminate.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an image display apparatus.
- the present invention provides an image display device unit capable of preventing the occurrence of peeling at the peripheral edge of the optical film laminate, not only under durability under a heat shock test but also under a humidity peeling test, and An object is to provide an image display apparatus using the unit.

Abstract
Description
・高粘度で低弾性率の半固体状物質であり、圧力を加えることによって被着体と結合する
・結合後においても被着体から剥離することが可能である
・粘着剤の状態は結合の過程で変化しない
こうした性質を有する粘着剤は、広義の接着剤の一種であり、2つの被着体の間に介在して圧力を加えられることによって接着力を発現するため、感圧型接着剤とも呼ばれる。本明細書において粘着剤というときは、こうした感圧型接着剤を意味する。
・当初は流動性のある低粘度の液体であり、被着体に塗布されたときに被着体に十分に濡れることによって接触面積を大きくし、光の照射や加熱によって硬化することにより被着体と結合する
・光の照射量や加熱量の増加によって粘着状態を経て硬化に至る
・結合後においては被着体や接着剤層の凝集破壊を生じることなく両者を剥離することが不可能である
・接着剤の状態は結合の過程で不可逆的に変化する(液体から固体に変化する)
こうした性質を有する接着剤は、光や熱などのエネルギーを与えることによって硬化することにより接着力を発現するエネルギー硬化型接着剤であり、与えられるエネルギーの種類に応じて、例えば紫外線硬化型接着剤、熱硬化型接着剤などと呼ばれる。
また、本発明は、ヒートショック試験下における耐久性だけではなく、加湿剥離試験下においても、光学フィルム積層体の周縁部における剥離の発生を防止することができる、画像表示装置用ユニット、及び、該ユニットを用いた画像表示装置を提供することを目的とする。
[光学フィルム積層体]
本発明に係る画像表示装置用ユニット及び画像表示装置に用いられる光学フィルム積層体は、片方のみに保護機能層を有するものである。図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る光学フィルム積層体10を含む画像表示装置用ユニット1を示す断面図である。画像表示装置用ユニット1は、例えば液晶表示パネル又は有機EL表示パネルとすることができる画像表示装置用パネル30の一方の面に、光学的に透明な接着剤層20を介して光学フィルム積層体10が積層されたものである。光学フィルム積層体10は、偏光子12と偏光子保護機能層14とを含む。光学フィルム積層体10は、偏光子12の偏光子保護機能層14が接する面とは反対側の面が、接着剤層20を介して画像表示装置用パネル30に積層されている。画像表示装置は、この画像表示装置用ユニット1に、必要に応じてさらに光学フィルム積層体、他の光学機能フィルム、保護用フィルム、バックライトユニットなどの各種構成部材を設けて形成することができる。
本発明においては、光学フィルム積層体10又は50は、寸法変化率が所定の範囲にあることが好ましい。一実施形態においては、光学フィルム積層体10又は50は、25℃のときにおける光学フィルム積層体の寸法と80℃の温度で240時間加熱した後の寸法との間の変化率(寸法変化率という)が、0.02%より小さいことが好ましい。光学フィルム積層体10又は50におけるこの特性は、ガラス転移温度が50℃~90℃の接着剤層20又は70を用いることによって達成することができる。寸法変化率が0.02%より大きい光学フィルム積層体10又は50を用いた場合には、画像表示装置用ユニット1又は2は、耐久性試験にさらされたときに、接着剤層20が光学フィルム積層体10又は50の収縮及び膨張を抑制することができず、偏光子12又は52にクラックが発生する。また、寸法変化が大きい場合には、光学フィルム積層体10又は50は、特に大きなサイズの画像表示装置用ユニットに使用したときに、収縮して視認領域より小さくなる場合がある。この問題に対応するために光学フィルム積層体10又は50をあらかじめ大きくしておくことも可能であるが、このような対策では、画像表示装置用ユニットの非表示領域(いわゆる額縁)を広くとる必要があるため、生産性の低下やデザイン性への悪影響がある。
画像表示装置用ユニット1又は2における画像表示装置用パネル30又は80は、液晶表示パネル、有機EL表示パネル、又はプラズマ表示パネルなどの画像表示装置用パネルとすることができる。接着剤層を介して光学フィルム積層体10又は50が積層される面は、画像表示装置用パネルのガラス若しくはプラスチックの基板又は前面保護板である。これらの光学フィルム積層体は、画像表示装置において画像表示、反射防止、色相調整などの機能を発揮させるために用いられる。
本発明に係る画像表示装置ユニット1又は2において、光学フィルム積層体10又は50と画像表示装置用パネル30又は80とを貼り合わせるための接着剤層20又は70は、アクリル系化合物を含むエネルギー硬化型接着剤組成物を、可視光線、紫外線、X線、若しくは電子線などのエネルギー線の照射、又は加熱などによって硬化させたものである。
接着剤層20又は70は、ガラス転移温度が50℃~90℃の範囲にあるものが用いられる。ガラス転移温度がこの範囲内にある接着剤層20又は70を介して光学フィルム積層体10又は50と画像表示装置用パネル30又は80とを積層することによって、偏光子(又は、光学フィルム積層体全体)の収縮は、偏光子保護機能層14又は54のみではなく、光学フィルム積層体と比較して弾性率がはるかに大きく厚い画像表示装置用パネル30又は80の基板によっても抑制される。したがって、こうした画像表示装置用ユニット1又は2は、通常の環境変化はもとより、耐久性試験(ヒートショック試験)にさらされることによって偏光子12又は52が膨張及び収縮を繰り返したときであっても、偏光子12又は52にはクラックが発生しない。本発明の一実施形態においては、耐久性の評価に用いられるヒートショック試験は、画像表示装置用ユニット1又は2が-40℃の温度環境に30分間保持される工程と85℃の温度環境に30分間保持される工程とが300回繰り返される試験である。
ところで、図1又は図2に示されるような画像表示装置用ユニットは、特に面積が700cm2以上の大型の光学フィルム積層体を用い、偏光子保護機能層として吸湿性及び/又は透湿性の高い材料を用いたものにおいては、耐久性試験(ヒートショック試験)にさらされた場合に、通常の使用環境下における環境変化にさらされた場合より、画像表示装置用パネルと光学フィルム積層体との剥離の問題がより顕著になることがある。耐久性試験においては、温度を高温(85℃)から低温(-40℃)に下げる過程で、通常、光学フィルム積層体の表面に結露が発生する。結露が発生した状態で温度が低温になると、結露した水分が凝固し、次に温度が高温になるときに水分が蒸発する。偏光子自身は、湿度に敏感な材料からなるものであり、偏光子保護機能層も、例えばTAC系樹脂からなるフィルムの場合には、吸湿性及び透湿性が高い。したがって、特に面積が700cm2以上の大型の光学フィルム積層体を用いた画像表示装置用ユニットの耐久性試験においては、加湿環境にさらされることになるため、光学フィルム積層体の寸法変化は通常の使用環境下より大きくなり、この結果、剥離が発生することがあるものと考えられる。
以上のように、本発明に係る画像表示装置用ユニット1又は2に用いられる接着剤層20又は70は、ガラス転移温度が所定の範囲にあるものである。また、偏光子保護機能層として吸湿性及び/又は透湿性が高い材料を用いた場合には、接着剤層20又は70は、さらに吸水率及びヤング率が所定の範囲内にあるものである。以下に、こうした接着剤層20又は70を得るための接着剤組成物について説明する。本発明においては、接着剤層20又は70は、アクリル系化合物を含むエネルギー硬化型接着剤組成物に、可視光線、紫外線、X線、若しくは電子線などのエネルギー線を照射するか、又は加熱することなどにより硬化させることによって、得られる。
接着剤組成物に含まれるアクリル系化合物として、重合性(メタ)アクリル系モノマーを用いることができる。重合性(メタ)アクリル系モノマーは、偏光子との接着性、及び、画像表示装置用パネルのガラス若しくはプラスチックの基板又は全面保護板ガラスとの接着性を付与するために、ヒドロキシル基、カルボキシル基、シアノ基、アミノ基、アミド基、複素環基、ラクトン環基、イソシアネート環基のうちの少なくとも1つを含んでいることが好ましい。重合性(メタ)アクリル系モノマーは、1つのアクリロイル基のみを含む単官能アクリロイル基含有モノマーを主成分とするものであることが好ましく、多官能のビニル基又はアクリロイル基を含むモノマーを副成分として含んでもよい。本発明における接着剤組成物は、これらのモノマーのうち、硬化して接着剤層となったときに接着剤層が所定の範囲のガラス転移温度を有するもの、又は、硬化して接着剤層となったときに接着剤層が所定の範囲のガラス転移温度を有するように上記のモノマーの2種以上を適宜混合したもの、が用いられる。
1/Tg=W1/Tg1+W2/Tg2+・・・+Wn/Tgn
ここで、
Tg;2種以上のモノマーを混合して生成される接着剤組成物のガラス転移温度
Tg1、Tg2、・・・、Tgn;混合成分1、2、・・・、nのガラス転移温度
W1、W2、・・・、Wn;混合成分1、2、・・・、nの重量分率
本発明に係る接着剤組成物の重合開始剤として、公知の重合開始剤を用いることができる。重合開始剤は、エネルギーを吸収して活性種を生成することが可能な物質であり、モノマーの重合反応は、重合開始剤によって生成された活性種がモノマーの不飽和結合に付加することによって開始し、モノマーの活性種が接着剤の不飽和結合に付加することにより進行する。本発明においては、重合開始剤として光重合開始剤を用いることがより好ましい。光重合開始剤を用いることにより、光によって重合反応を生じさせることができるため、本発明において用いられる接着剤組成物の接着力及び状態の制御が容易になるとともに、貼り合わされる光学フィルム積層体及び画像表示装置用パネルの劣化や破壊を生じさせることがない。光重合開始剤として、例えば、アルキルフェノン系光重合開始剤、アシルフォスフィンオキサイド系光重合開始剤、チタノセン系光重合開始剤、カチオン系光重合開始剤を挙げることができる。紫外線を用いる光重合開始剤としては、例えば、ベンゾイン系光重合開始剤、ベンゾフェノン系光重合開始剤、アントラキノン系光重合開始剤、キサントン系光重合開始剤、チオキサントン系光重合開始剤、ケタール系光重合開始剤といった各種の光重合開始剤を挙げることができる。
接着剤組成物におけるアクリル系化合物と重合開始剤との混合割合は、特に限定されるものではない。ただし、重合開始剤の割合が多すぎると、重合反応の進行が速すぎて反応の制御が難しくなる、接着剤組成物が着色する、重合開始剤の分散性が悪くなるといった問題が生じることがある。重合開始剤の割合が少なすぎると、重合反応に時間がかかり、接着剤組成物を用いて貼り合わせるプロセスの生産性が低下するため好ましくない。例えば、アクリル系化合物としてヒドロキシエチルアクリルアミド(HEAA)を用い、重合開始剤としてアシルホスフォンオキサイド系光重合開始剤を用いた場合には、接着剤組成物は、接着剤組成物中におけるHEAA100部に対して、重合開始剤0.3~3部を含有することが好ましい。
接着剤組成物には、アクリル系化合物及び重合開始剤の他に、以下に示されるように添加剤が含まれてもよい。例えば、接着剤組成物には、画像表示装置用パネルの基板と光学フィルム積層体との接着性を高めるために、各種のSiカップリング剤又は架橋剤を添加することができる。また、接着剤組成物には、暗反応を防止したり、可使時間を増大させたりするといった観点から、重合禁止剤を添加することもできる。さらに、接着剤組成物に、光学フィルム積層体の透過波長に合わせた光増感剤を添加することによって、光学フィルム積層体の透過波長と異なる光吸収波長の重合開始剤を用いた場合でも本発明の効果を達成することもできる。さらにまた、接着剤組成物には、導電性を付与するための導電性材料を添加したり、位相差を付与するための複屈折を有する微粒子を添加したり、表面のレベリング性を上げるための界面活性剤を添加したりすることもできる。さらにまた、接着剤組成物には、各種の硬化剤を添加することもできる。硬化剤としては、フェノール樹脂、各種イミダゾール系化合物及びその誘導体、ヒドラジド化合物、ジシアンジアミド、イソシアネート系化合物及びこれらをマイクロカプセル化したもの等が挙げられ、例えば、硬化剤としてフェノール樹脂が添加された場合は、さらに硬化促進剤としてトリフェニルフォスフィン等のリン系化合物等を併用することもできる。
接着剤層20又は70の厚みは、20μm以下であることが好ましく、10μm以下であることがより好ましい。接着剤層の厚みが20μmより厚い場合には、接着剤層の硬化による収縮力が大きくなることによって、特に大型の画像表示装置用ユニットの場合にはパネルに反りの力が加わるため、表示不良になる可能性がある。
本発明に係る画像表示装置用ユニットの製造方法は、以下の工程を含むものとすることができる。まず、PVA系樹脂からなる偏光子12又は52と偏光子保護機能層14又は54とを積層して、偏光子の片面のみに偏光子保護機能層が積層された光学フィルム積層体10又は50を準備する。この光学フィルム積層体10又は50には、偏光子保護機能層とは反対側の面に、仮保護用フィルムを積層しておくことが好ましい。
<偏光子の作成>
重合度2400、ケン化度99.9%、厚み75μmのポリビニルアルコールフィルム(クラレ製、VF-PS-N#7500)の片面を30℃の温水に60秒間浸漬して膨潤(膨潤浴)させ、2倍に延伸した。次いで、ヨウ素/ヨウ化カリウム(重量比=1/7)の濃度3.2%の水溶液に浸漬し、3.5倍まで延伸させながらフィルムを染色した(染色浴)。次いで、ホウ酸3%、ヨウ化カリウム3%の水溶液中に20秒間浸漬し、3.6倍まで延伸させた(架橋浴)。次いで、60℃のホウ酸4%、ヨウ化カリウム5%の水溶液中で6.0倍まで延伸し(延伸浴)、ヨウ化カリウム3%の溶液中でヨウ素イオン含浸処理をした。最後に、60℃のオーブンで4分間乾燥を行い、偏光子を得た。
次に、得られた偏光子の一方の面に偏光子保護機能層となるトリアセチルセルロース(TAC)フィルム(富士フィルム製、TD80UL)を貼り合わせて、光学フィルム積層体を得た(後述の実施例1~5において用いられる光学フィルム積層体)。なお、この時点では、偏光子の他方の面に、剥離可能な仮保護用フィルムとしてPETフィルムを重ねた。偏光子とTACフィルムとを貼り合わせるための接着剤として、アセトアセチル基を有するポリビニルアルコール系樹脂(平均重合度:1200、ケン化度98.5モル%、アセトアセチル化度:5モル%)100部に対し、メチロールメラニン20部を30℃の条件下に純水に溶解し、固形分濃度3.2%に調整した水溶液を調製したものを用いた。偏光子とTACフィルムとは、この接着剤を用い、30℃の温度条件下でロール機で貼り合わせた後、60℃で5分間乾燥させることによって行った。接着剤は、偏光子とTACの間にのみ使用した。光学フィルム積層体と画像表示装置用パネルとの貼り合せの際には、仮保護用PETフィルムは剥離されることになる。得られた光学フィルム積層体は、偏光子の厚みが22μm、TACフィルムの厚みが80μmであるため、全体の厚みが102μmであった。
アクリル系化合物を含むエネルギー硬化型接着剤組成物のモノマーとして、以下の材料を表1に示される割合(重量比)で混合した混合モノマーを用いた。各々の混合割合は、硬化後のガラス転移温度がそれぞれ異なるように決定した。

4-HBA:4-ヒドロキシブチルアクリレート(大阪有機化学工業製)
THFA:アクリル酸テトラヒドロフルフリルモノマー(東京化成工業製)
比較例として用いるために、以下に示される各成分を混合して、エポキシ系化合物を含む接着剤組成物を調製した。この接着剤組成物は、接着剤組成物10(比較例5)とする。接着剤組成物10(比較例5)のガラス転移温度(Tg)は95℃であった。なお、接着剤組成物10(比較例5)は、特許文献2(特開2010-286764号公報)の製造例3に記載の接着剤組成物と同等のものと考えられる。

比較例として用いるために、アクリル系粘着剤を準備した。この粘着剤のガラス転移温度(Tg)は-30℃であった。アクリル系粘着剤は、以下のとおり調製した。まず、ブチルアクリレート95重量部、アクリル酸3.0重量部、2-ヒドロキシエチルアクリレート0.10重量部、2,2-アゾビスイソブチロニトリル0.050重量部、及び酢酸エチル200重量部を、窒素導入管及び冷却管を備えた4つ口フラスコに投入し、充分に窒素置換した後、窒素気流下で撹拌しながら55℃で20時間重合反応を行い、重量平均分子量157万の高分子量のアクリル系ポリマーAの溶液を得た。次に上記アクリル系ポリマーAの溶液(固形分)100重量部に対して、ジベンゾイルパーオキシド(1分間半減期:130.0℃)0.15重量部、シランカップリング剤として3-グリシドキシプロピルトリメトキシシラン0.080重量部、架橋剤としてトリメチロールプロパンのトリレンジイソシアネート付加物からなるイソシアネート系架橋剤(コロネートL、日本ポリウレタン製)0.60重量部を均一に混合して、粘着剤組成物(比較例6)を調製した。上記粘着剤組成物を、シリコーン剥離処理した厚さ38μmのポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム(三菱ポリエステル社製、MRF38)に塗布し、150℃で2分間乾燥および過酸化物分解処理を行った
・接着剤組成物1~接着剤組成物9による貼り合わせ
TACフィルムを偏光子保護機能層とする光学フィルム積層体(実施例1~5及び比較例1~4において用いられる)を32cm×24cmのサイズにカットしたものを9枚作成し、フィルム状ガラスを偏光子保護機能層とする光学フィルム積層体(実施例6において用いられる)を同じサイズにカットしたものを1枚作成した。接着剤組成物1~接着剤組成物9(実施例1~6及び比較例1~4)を10枚のガラスの各々にスポイトで滴下し、それぞれの光学フィルム積層体について仮保護用PETフィルムを剥離し、光学フィルム積層体のPETフィルムが剥離された面とガラスとをラミネータを用いてロール間で貼り合わせた。接着剤組成物の層の硬化後の厚みが10μmとなるように、ロール間ギャップを調整した。この積層体に対して、80℃の環境下で紫外線照射装置(アイグラフィックス製 UBX0801-01 出力8kW(高圧水銀ランプ))によって紫外線を光学フィルム積層体側から照射し、接着剤組成物を硬化させた。照射条件は、波長365nm、照射強度30mW/cm2、照射時間3分間とした。
上述の接着剤組成物1~9による貼り合わせの場合における接着剤組成物をエポキシ系の接着剤組成物10(比較例5)に代えて、光学フィルム積層体とガラスとの積層体を形成した。この積層体に対して、80℃の環境下でフュージョンUVシステムズ・ジャパン社のDバルブによって紫外線を光学フィルム積層体側から照射し、接着剤組成物を硬化させた。紫外線の照射量は1500mJ/cm2とした。
上述の接着剤組成物1~9による貼り合わせの場合における接着剤組成物を粘着剤(比較例6)に代えて、光学フィルム積層体とガラスとの積層体を形成した。粘着剤層の厚みは、23μmであった。
接着剤組成物1~10を硬化させた接着剤層のガラス転移温度Tgは、TAインスツルメンツ製固体粘弾性装置RSAIIIを用いて測定した。測定用サンプルは、接着剤組成物1~10を易剥離処理したPETフィルムに挟み、80℃の環境下で紫外線照射装置(アイグラフィックス製 UBX0801-01 出力8kW(高圧水銀ランプ))によって紫外線を照射して接着剤組成物をフィルム状に硬化し、それを短冊状に切り出して作成した。なお、フィルム状にするために、接着剤を易剥離処理したPETフィルムに挟んで、80℃の環境下で高圧水銀ランプを使ってUV照射した。照射条件は、波長365nm、照射強度30mW/cm2、照射時間3分間とした。測定条件は以下の通りである。

ガラス転移温度Tgの測定の場合と同様の方法でそれぞれの接着剤組成物1~9(実施例1~6及び比較例1~4)から測定用サンプルを作成し、それぞれの測定用サンプルについて重量を測定した。次に、それぞれの測定用サンプルを温度60℃、湿度90%の加湿環境下で24時間保持した後、重量を測定した。吸水量は、加湿環境下に置いた後の測定用サンプルの重量を加湿環境下に置く前の測定用サンプルの重量で割ることによって求めた。
ガラス転移温度Tgの測定の場合と同様の方法で接着剤組成物1~9(実施例1~6及び比較例1~4)を硬化させ、厚み0.1mmのフィルム状の測定用サンプルを作成した。これらのサンプルを幅5mm、長さ40mmに切断して、温度60℃、湿度90%の加湿環境下で30分間、保持した。これらを、テンシロンを用いて引っ張り、100%伸び時の応力を変位量で割ることによってヤング率を求めた。
