Summary of the Invention
[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer capable of suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles at the bending portion with respect to a fold having a very small bending radius such as a display, and a flexible display device using the same.
[0006] An elastic sheet with an adhesive layer according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises an elastic layer having a tensile modulus of 80 MPa or more and less than 1500 MPa at 20°C, and a tensile modulus of 40 MPa or more and less than 1000 MPa at 85°C, and an adhesive layer overlapping the elastic layer. The thickness of the adhesive layer is 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less. The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer to the polyethylene terephthalate film is 10 N / 25 mm or more.
[0007] A flexible display device according to one aspect of the present disclosure is characterized in that the elastic sheet with an adhesive layer is attached to the front side of a flexible display. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0008] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0009] <Elastic sheet with adhesive layer> The elastic sheet with an adhesive layer according to this embodiment (hereinafter also referred to as elastic sheet 1) comprises an elastic layer having a tensile modulus of 80 MPa or more and less than 1500 MPa at 20°C, and a tensile modulus of 40 MPa or more and less than 1000 MPa at 85°C, and an adhesive layer overlapping the elastic layer. The thickness of the adhesive layer is 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less. The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer to the polyethylene terephthalate film is 10 N / 25 mm or more.
[0010] In a foldable display, when a thin film such as polyethylene terephthalate or polyimide, placed on the front side (display surface side) of the display, is bent, tensile and compressive stresses concentrate simultaneously, causing structural deformation and delamination of the thin film, resulting in wrinkles. The inventors have found that by placing an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer around the thin film, the tensile and compressive stresses during bending are relieved, thereby suppressing structural deformation and delamination of the thin film and preventing wrinkle formation. Furthermore, the inventors have found a relationship between the relief of tensile and compressive stresses and the tensile modulus of the elastic layer of the elastic sheet 1. That is, if the tensile modulus is 80 MPa or more and less than 1500 MPa at 20°C and 40 MPa or more and less than 1000 MPa at 85°C, it is considered that the stress during bending can be well distributed under each temperature condition, and the tensile and compressive stresses can be sufficiently relieved in the bent portion. If the tensile modulus is outside the above range at either 20°C or 85°C, there is a risk that the tensile and compressive stresses cannot be sufficiently relieved. Furthermore, it was found that the adhesive layer of the elastic sheet 1 must have a thickness of 2 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and an adhesive strength of 10 N / 25 mm or more to polyethylene terephthalate film. If the thickness of the adhesive layer is less than 2 μm, delamination may occur in the adhesive layer, and if it exceeds 15 μm, structural deformation of the flexible adhesive layer may occur. If the adhesive strength is less than 10 N / 25 mm, delamination may occur in the adhesive layer. By satisfying all of these conditions, the elastic sheet 1 can suppress the occurrence of wrinkles in bent sections with a tight radius of curvature, for example, up to Φ1.5 mm. Thus, according to this disclosure, it is possible to provide an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer that can suppress the occurrence of wrinkles in bent sections when used in displays, etc., even when bending with a very small bending radius.

[0055] (3) Adhesion of the adhesive layer to the polyethylene terephthalate film The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer to the polyethylene terephthalate film was measured in an environment of 23°C by preparing a test piece measuring 25 mm wide x 100 mm long by laminating a polyethylene terephthalate film (25 μm thick, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., product number E5100) to the adhesive layer 1 of an elastic sheet with an adhesive layer, and using a method compliant with JIS-Z0237:2009 "Test Method for Adhesive Tapes and Adhesive Sheets" (lamination conditions: 2 kg roller, 1 back-and-forth, peeling speed: 300 mm / min, peeling angle: 180°).
[0056] (4) Flexion test A flexural test sample measuring 20 mm in width and 150 mm in length was prepared by laminating polyethylene terephthalate film (25 μm thick, manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., product number E5100) to both sides of an adhesive-backed elastic sheet. A flexural test was performed on this sample using a flexural test apparatus (manufactured by Yuasa Corporation). The flexural test conditions were a radius of curvature R = 2.5 mm, a flexural speed of 90 cycles / minute, and a total of 10,000 flexural cycles. After the flexural test, the sample was visually inspected to check for the presence or absence of wrinkles.
