  • Patent number: 8748505
    Abstract: To provide a curable resin composition for forming a seal part, which is capable of easily forming a continuous seal part and which is capable of maintaining the shape of the seal part during a period of from immediately after the formation of an uncured seal part until a liquid material is supplied to a region enclosed by the seal part and the seal part is cured, and a laminate which has minimal defects and whereby a resin layer interposed between first and second plates can be made thick. One having a viscosity of from 500 to 3,000 Pa·s at 25° C. is used as the curable resin composition for forming a seal part to form an uncured seal part 12 enclosing the periphery of a liquid material (curable resin composition 14 for forming a resin layer) interposed between a first plate (display device 50) and a second plate (transparent plate 10).

  • Patent number: 8592039
    Abstract: To provide a transparent laminate having a pair of transparent substrates integrated via an adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer has good tear resistance and good adhesion to the transparent substrates and has excellent transparency. In a first atmosphere, a sealed space having a curable resin composition 14 accommodated between a pair of transparent substrates 10a and 10b, is formed, and then the curable resin composition 14 is cured in a state where the outside of the sealed space is made to be a second atmosphere having a pressure higher than the first atmosphere. As the above curable resin composition, a curable resin composition comprising a urethane oligomer (a) having from 1.8 to 4 curable functional groups on average which are either or both of an acryloyloxy group and a methacryloyloxy group, per molecule, and a hydroxyalkyl methacrylate (b) having a C3-8 hydroxyalkyl group having 1 or 2 hydroxy groups, is used.
