  • Publication number: 20190031815
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for an optical film of the present invention comprises a (meth)acryl-based polymer(A): and a polyether compound (B) having a polyether skeleton and a reactive silyl group represented by formula (1): —SiRaM3-a at at least one terminal, wherein R represents a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; M represents a hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable group; and <a> represents an integer of 1 to 3, provided that in cases where two or more R groups, R groups is the same or different, and in cases where two or more M groups, M groups is the same or different. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for an optical film is capable of forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having reworkability that enables an optical film to be easily peeled off from a liquid crystal panel or the like with no adhesive residue and satisfactory durability that prevents a bonded optical film from peeling or lifting.

  • Patent number: 9916048
    Abstract: An input display device includes a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules that are homogeneously aligned in an absence of an electric field, a first polarizer disposed on a viewing side of the liquid crystal layer, a capacitive sensor disposed between the first polarizer and the liquid crystal layer, and an antistatic layer disposed between the first polarizer and the capacitive sensor, the antistatic layer being attached to the first polarizer. The capacitive sensor has a transparent substrate, a transparent electrode pattern formed on the transparent substrate, and a first adhesive layer formed on the transparent substrate to embed the transparent electrode pattern, and the antistatic layer has a surface resistance value of 1.0×109 to 1.0×1011?/?.

  • Patent number: 7709578
    Abstract: An adhesive of the present invention is used for polarizing plate to provide a transparent protective film on at least one side of a polarizer and comprises a resin solution comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, a crosslinking agent and a leveling agent containing an acetylene skeleton-containing compound, wherein 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of the leveling agent is added to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin. The adhesive for polarizing plate can provide a satisfactory wettability when applied to transparent protective films and allows the production of polarizing plates to have water resistance at high temperature and satisfactory optical properties.
