Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for polarizing plates.
- the liquid crystal cell has a structure in which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between two substrates (eg, a glass plate), and a polarizing plate is attached to the surface of the substrate via an adhesive layer.
- a polarizing plate is likely to be thermally contracted in a high temperature and high humidity environment, so that it lacks dimensional stability and may cause warpage in a liquid crystal cell.
- the thinning of liquid crystal cells eg, thinning of the substrate constituting the liquid crystal cell
- the thinning of the polarizing plate the warpage of the liquid crystal cell under a high temperature and high humidity environment has become a larger problem.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer cannot follow the thermal contraction (dimensional change) of the polarizing plate, and the stress relaxation property of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is low.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method for forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by crosslinking a pressure-sensitive adhesive for an optical film containing a specific (meth) acrylic polymer, a peroxide and an isocyanate compound.
- a cross-linking method using a thermal decomposition cross-linking reaction with a peroxide and a cross-linking method using a urethane bond formation with an isocyanate-based compound are used in combination, so that stress associated with dimensional change of an optical film can be reduced.
- high durability can be maintained while maintaining sufficient stress relaxation characteristics.

- the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for polarizing plates of the present invention is also simply referred to as “pressure-sensitive adhesive composition”
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for polarizing plates of the present invention is also simply referred to as “pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet”.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for polarizing plates of the present invention contains a (meth) acrylic copolymer (A) and an isocyanate compound (B).

- the (meth) acrylic copolymer (A) is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer component containing a (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and a hydroxyl group-containing monomer. is there.
- the monomer component of the copolymer (A) include polar group-containing monomers other than hydroxyl group-containing monomers, and other monomers other than these.
- acrylic and methacryl are collectively referred to as “(meth) acryl”.
- structural unit derived from a certain monomer a contained in the polymer is also referred to as “monomer a unit”.

Details of measurement conditions for the degree of branching are described in the examples.
- the degree of branching is an index indicating a branched polymer when it is 0.55 or less and a linear polymer when it exceeds 0.55.
- a branched polymer when the degree of branching is small, it indicates that the polymer molecule has many branches and has a high degree of branching, and when the degree of branching is large, the polymer molecule has little branching and low degree of branching. It shows having.
- the (meth) acrylic copolymer (A) having a degree of branching in the above range (1) is often entangled due to the branched chain between polymer molecules at about room temperature, resulting in the molecular weight of the polymer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- Adhesive layer with excellent storability such as adhesive properties, processability such as punching out the adhesive layer, and less deformation and protrusion of the adhesive layer, even in designs with a low gel fraction of the layer (2)
- a high temperature eg, 60 ° C.
- the entanglement between the polymer molecules is partially relaxed, so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exhibits excellent flexibility, and is excellent in suppressing warping (bending) of the polarizing plate, Due to the remaining entanglement, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exhibits excellent durability.
- the reason why the warpage of the polarizing plate is suppressed is as follows.
- a case where a glass plate is used as the adherend will be described as an example.
- the polarizing plate and the glass plate have different heat shrinkage rates, and the polarizing plate usually has a larger heat shrinkage rate (dimensional change) than the glass plate.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer lacks flexibility under a high-temperature, high-humidity heat environment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer cannot follow the dimensional change of the polarizing plate, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer cannot relieve stress. Stress concentrates on the glass plate, which causes warpage of the glass plate.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed using the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention contains a highly branched polymer, and the above-mentioned entanglement is partially loosened in a high temperature / high humidity environment. Since the agent layer can follow, no stress is generated and no stress is concentrated on the glass plate. Further, the polarizing plate can also be thermally contracted uniformly without anisotropy, and does not induce birefringence of the polarizing plate. As described above, in the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can absorb and relieve the stress accompanying the dimensional change of the polarizing plate, and therefore, no excessive stress (load) is applied to the glass plate. It is presumed that this will lead to suppression of warpage of the plate.
- the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention has the above properties, it is suitable for use in bonding a substrate constituting a liquid crystal cell and a polarizing plate.
- the thickness of the glass plate constituting the thinned liquid crystal cell is as small as about 0.1 to 1.0 mm, it is suitable for bonding the substrate and the polarizing plate.
