  • Publication number: 20230244020
    Abstract: The multilayer structure used to be deformed by bending with a first member outside, includes the first member, a first adhesive layer, a second member having one surface joined to one surface of the first member at least via the first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, and a first structure having one surface joined to the other surface of the second member at least via the second adhesive layer. The first structure includes a third member on a surface in contact with the second adhesive layer, including, on a surface in contact with the second adhesive layer, a layer that is likely to be broken when deformed. Hardness of each of the first and second adhesive layer is determined such that when the multilayer structure is deformed, the extension of the layer likely to be broken is reduced to a value lower than the tensile breaking extension thereof.

  • Patent number: 9657197
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive of the invention include a (meth)acryl-based polymer obtained by polymerization of a monomer component including 30 to 99.5% by weight of an alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group of 10 to 18 carbon atoms at an ester end and 0.5 to 50% by weight of a cyclic nitrogen-containing monomer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive has a satisfactory level of adhesive performance and can form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a lower dielectric constant and reliable moisture resistance.

  • Patent number: 9580624
    Abstract: The present invention realizes a display device or input device having excellent ultraviolet protection property for the touch panel, display element or the like, while retaining optical characteristics, even when a small amount of or no optical film is used. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has a total light transmittance of 85% or more, a light transmittance at a wavelength of 380 nm of 5% or less, and a haze of 3% or less. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet preferably includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing an acrylic polymer and a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber.

  • Publication number: 20140243472
    Abstract: Provided is a surface protective film including, as an outermost layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive as a main component, the surface protective film allowing the contamination of an adherend to be extremely suppressed, and being preferably excellent in wettability and reworkability. The surface protective film of the present invention includes, as an outermost layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing, as a main component, a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive containing a polyurethane-based resin; and when a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side of the surface protective film is attached to a glass plate at 50° C. for 10 days and then the surface protective film is peeled from the glass plate, a residual adhesive strength on the peeled surface side of the glass plate is 3.0 N/19 mm or more.
