Publication number: 20110117296Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, including an interpenetrating polymer network structure in a cured state and comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive strength stabilizer; a polarizer; and a liquid crystal display. In the present invention, by using the stabilizer having a functional group capable of rapidly reacting with a multifunctional crosslinking agent, the change of the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength over time is quickly terminated right after preparation, thereby the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is rapidly stabilized. The pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention has an excellent removability in a room-temperature or warming condition. Also, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can efficiently suppress light leakage, and has an excellent workability and durability in a high-temperature and/or high-humidity condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2009Publication date: May 19, 2011Applicant: LG CHEM, LTD.Inventors: Ki Seok Jang, In Cheon Han, Min Soo Park
