  • Patent number: 11970644
    Abstract: Provided is a method for peeling a PSA sheet adhered on a polarizing plate. The PSA sheet has a PSA layer. The PSA layer includes a layer A forming at least one surface of the PSA layer. Of the polarizing plate, the surface to which the PSA sheet is adhered is corona-treated or plasma-treated. The peeling method includes a water-peel step in which the PSA sheet is peeled from the polarizing plate, in a state where an aqueous liquid exits at the interface between the polarizing plate and the PSA sheet at the front line of peeling the PSA sheet from the polarizing plate, with the aqueous liquid allowed to further enter the interface following the movement of the peel front line.

    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.
