  • Publication number: 20240117231
    Abstract: The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer forming organopolysiloxane composition of this disclosure is hydrosilylation reaction curable, wherein 1 mass % or more of a resin component is (b2) an organopolysiloxane resin having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) as measured in terms of standard polystyrene by GPC using toluene that is less than 4000, and the value obtained by dividing Tg+120(° C.) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by curing by Tg?+120(° C.) of the composition (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), in which component (b2) is substituted by a resin with Mw 4000 or higher is less than 1.0. When used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and when a specific resin component/polymer component ratio is selected to achieve a pressure-sensitive adhesive strength, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be further reduced, resulting in a strong pressure-sensitive adhesive force and a low Tg at the same time.

The ground layer includes a grid-like ground electrode portion and a plurality of openings positioned in regions other than the ground electrode portion, each of the plurality of openings being quadrilateral in shape. Each of the plurality of openings includes two first opening sides parallel to the first direction and two second opening sides perpendicular to the first direction. A length of each of the first opening sides is longer than a length of each of the second opening sides.
