本発明の一実施形態に係る粘着シートは、2枚の硬質板を貼合するための粘着シートであって、上記2枚の硬質板の少なくとも一方は、他方の硬質板と貼合される側の面に凹凸を有するものである。本実施形態に係る粘着シートは、光学機能性粘着剤層および透明粘着剤層からなる複合型粘着剤層と、当該透明粘着剤層に積層された剥離シートとを備えている。光学機能性粘着剤層は、所定の光学機能を有するものであり、透明粘着剤層は、上記光学機能性粘着剤層の光学機能を有しないものである。複合型粘着剤層における波長550nmの光線の直進透過率は、90%以下であることが好ましい。本明細書における直進透過率は、サンプルを透過した全透過光成分における全透過率および拡散透過率をもとに算出した透過率であり、測定方法の詳細は後述する試験例に示す通りである。
図1に示すように、粘着シート1は、第1の剥離シート12aと、第2の剥離シート12bと、それら2枚の剥離シート12a,12bの剥離面と接するように当該2枚の剥離シート12a,12bに挟持された複合型粘着剤層11とから構成される。第1の剥離シート12aは、先に剥離される側の剥離シートであり、第2の剥離シート12bは、後に剥離される側の剥離シートである。なお、本明細書における剥離シートの剥離面とは、剥離シートにおいて剥離性を有する面をいい、剥離処理を施した面および剥離処理を施さなくても剥離性を示す面のいずれをも含むものである。
1-1.複合型粘着剤層
光学機能性粘着剤層112は、所望の光学機能を発揮する粘着剤から構成される。例えば、光学機能が着色の場合には、光学機能性粘着剤層112は、着色剤を含有する粘着剤から構成されることが好ましい。また、光学機能が光拡散性の場合には、光学機能性粘着剤層112は、光拡散微粒子を含有する粘着剤から構成されることが好ましい。
(1-1)(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)
本実施形態における(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)は、当該重合体を構成するモノマー単位として、架橋剤(B)と反応する反応性基を分子内に有する反応性基含有モノマーを含むことが好ましい。この反応性基含有モノマー由来の反応性基が架橋剤(B)と反応して、架橋構造(三次元網目構造)が形成され、所望の凝集力を有する粘着剤が得られる。
架橋剤(B)は、粘着性組成物Pの加熱により(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)を架橋し、三次元網目構造を良好に形成することが可能となる。これにより、得られる粘着剤の凝集力が向上し、高温高湿条件下での段差追従性が優れたものとなる。また、得られる粘着剤のゲル分率や貯蔵弾性率等の値が好適なものとなり易く、光学機能のムラを抑制し易くなる。
着色剤(C)は、複合型粘着剤層11および光学機能性粘着剤層112およびが前述した物性を満たすことができるものであればよい。
光拡散微粒子(D)は、複合型粘着剤層11および光学機能性粘着剤層112が前述した物性を満たすことができるものであればよい。
光学機能性粘着剤層112または透明粘着剤層111を構成する粘着剤を活性エネルギー線硬化性の粘着剤とする場合には、粘着性組成物Pは、活性エネルギー線硬化性成分(E)を含有することが好ましい。粘着性組成物Pを架橋してなる粘着剤を活性エネルギー線硬化した粘着剤においては、活性エネルギー線硬化性成分(E)が互いに重合し、その重合した活性エネルギー線硬化性成分(E)が(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)の架橋構造(三次元網目構造)に絡み付くものと推定される。かかる高次構造を有する粘着剤は、高温高湿条件下での段差追従性が優れたものとなる。
粘着性組成物Pを硬化させる活性エネルギー線として紫外線を用いる場合には、粘着性組成物Pは、さらに光重合開始剤(F)を含有することが好ましい。このように光重合開始剤(F)を含有することにより、活性エネルギー線硬化性成分(E)を効率良く重合させることができ、また重合硬化時間および活性エネルギー線の照射量を少なくすることができる。

粘着性組成物Pは、(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)を製造し、得られた(メタ)アクリル酸エステル重合体(A)と、架橋剤(B)とを混合するとともに、所望により活性エネルギー線硬化性成分(E)、光重合開始剤(F)、添加剤等を加えることで製造することができる。光学機能性粘着剤層112の場合には、さらに着色剤(C)または光拡散微粒子(D)を配合する。
本実施形態における光学機能性粘着剤層112および透明粘着剤層111は、それぞれ、粘着性組成物P(の塗布層)を架橋した粘着剤からなることが好ましい。粘着性組成物Pの架橋は、通常は加熱処理により行うことができる。なお、この加熱処理は、所望の対象物に塗布した粘着性組成物Pの塗布層から希釈溶剤等を揮発させる際の乾燥処理で兼ねることもできる。
光学機能性粘着剤層112および透明粘着剤層111のいずれの粘着剤も、ゲル分率は、下限値として30%以上であることが好ましく、40%以上であることがより好ましく、45%以上であることが特に好ましく、50%以上であることがさらに好ましい。また、上記ゲル分率は、上限値として100%以下であることが好ましく、90%以下であることがより好ましく、特に80%以下であることが好ましく、さらには70%以下であることが好ましく、65%以下であることが最も好ましい。粘着剤のゲル分率が上記の範囲であると、粘着剤が良好な凝集力を発揮するものとなって、高温高湿条件下での段差追従性に優れたものとなるとともに、凹凸に起因する光学機能のムラ発生を抑制し易くなる。また、良好な粘着力が発現し、被着体との接着性がより優れたものとなる。ここで、粘着剤のゲル分率の測定方法は、後述する試験例に示す通りである。
光学機能性粘着剤層112の厚さは、所望の光学機能が得られる厚さであればよいが、通常は、下限値として5μm以上であることが好ましく、20μm以上であることがより好ましく、特に40μm以上であることが好ましく、さらには50μm以上であることが好ましい。光学機能性粘着剤層112の厚さの下限値が上記であると、前述した波長550nmの光線の直進透過率が満たされ易くなり、所望の光学機能が得られ易い。
本実施形態に係る粘着シート1において、第1の剥離シート12aは、光学機能性粘着剤層112に積層されており、第2の剥離シート12bは、透明粘着剤層111に積層されている。粘着シート1を使用するにあたり、先に第1の剥離シート12aが剥離され、その後、第2の剥離シート12bが剥離される。したがって、第1の剥離シート12aは、第2の剥離シート12bよりも剥離力の小さい軽剥離型剥離シートであることが好ましく、第2の剥離シート12bは、第1の剥離シート12aよりも剥離力の大きい重剥離型剥離シートであることが好ましい。
(1)粘着力
光学機能性粘着剤層112のソーダライムガラスに対する粘着力は、下限値として10N/25mm以上であることが好ましく、20N/25mm以上であることがより好ましく、30N/25mm以上であることが特に好ましく、40N/25mm以上であることがさらに好ましい。粘着力の下限値が上記であると、高温高湿条件下での段差追従性に優れたものとなる。また、光学機能性粘着剤層112のソーダライムガラスに対する粘着力は、上限値として90N/25mm以下であることが好ましく、70N/25mm以下であることがより好ましく、50N/25mm以下であることが特に好ましい。粘着力の上限値が上記であると、良好なリワーク性が得られ、貼合ミスが生じた場合、表示体構成部材、特に高価な表示体構成部材の再利用が可能となる。
被着体の凹凸に対する粘着剤層の追従性、即ち段差追従性は、段差追従率(%)を指標として判断することができる。光学機能性粘着剤層112は、下記の式で示される段差追従率(%)が、下限値として20%以上であることが好ましく、特に30%以上であることが好ましく、さらには40%以上であることが好ましい。また、上記段差追従率の上限値としては、特に限定されないが、通常、80%以下であることが好ましく、特に70%以下であることが好ましい。
なお、段差追従率の試験方法は、後述する試験例に示す通りである。また、活性エネルギー線硬化性の粘着剤の場合には、被着体貼付後に活性エネルギー線硬化したときの段差追従率であるものとする。
粘着シート1の一製造例としては、第1の剥離シート12aの剥離面に、光学機能性粘着剤層112を形成するための粘着性組成物Pの塗布溶液を塗布し、加熱処理を行って粘着性組成物Pを熱架橋し、塗布層を形成して、塗布層付きの剥離シート12aを得る。また、第2の剥離シート12bの剥離面に、透明粘着剤層111を形成するための粘着性組成物Pの塗布溶液を塗布し、加熱処理を行って粘着性組成物Pを熱架橋し、塗布層を形成して、塗布層付きの剥離シート12bを得る。そして、塗布層付きの剥離シート12aと塗布層付きの剥離シート12bとを、両塗布層が互いに接触するように貼り合わせる。養生期間が必要な場合は養生期間をおくことにより、養生期間が不要な場合はそのまま、上記の積層された塗布層が複合型粘着剤層11となる。これにより、光学機能性粘着剤層112と透明粘着剤層111との積層体である複合型粘着剤層11を有する上記粘着シート1が得られる。加熱処理および養生の条件については、前述した通りである。
本発明の一実施形態に係る構成体は、光学機能性粘着剤層、および当該光学機能性粘着剤層の光学機能を有しない透明粘着剤層からなり、波長550nmの光線の直進透過率が90%以下である複合型粘着剤層(好ましくは、前述した実施形態に係る粘着シートの複合型粘着剤層)によって、2枚の硬質板を貼合してなるものである。2枚の硬質板の少なくとも一方は、他方の硬質板と貼合される側の面に凹凸を有する。そして、当該構成体は、上記2枚の硬質板のいずれか一方に、上記複合型粘着剤層の光学機能性粘着剤層を貼付し、次いで、複合型粘着剤層の透明粘着剤層から剥離シートを剥離し、露出した透明粘着剤層と、上記2枚の硬質板の他方とを貼合して得られるものである。上記複合型粘着剤層の詳細は、前述した粘着シートにて説明した通りである。
