Description

Optical adhesive sheet This invention relates to an optical adhesive sheet. Display panels, for example, have a multilayer structure comprising elements such as pixel panels, polarizing films, and cover glass. During the manufacturing process of a display panel, transparent adhesive sheets (optical adhesive sheets) are used, for example, to bond the elements of the multilayer structure together. Adhesive sheets used in display panels are described, for example, in Patent Document 1 below. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2012-62345 [The problem the invention aims to solve] The optical adhesive sheet of Patent Document 1 is manufactured as follows: First, after preparing a reaction solution containing monomer components for forming an acrylic-based base polymer, a thermal polymerization initiator, and a solvent, an acrylic-based base polymer is formed by solution polymerization in the reaction solution. Next, a solvent is added to the reaction solution to prepare a polymer solution with adjusted polymer concentration. Next, a thermal crosslinking agent is added to the polymer solution to prepare an adhesive composition (solvent-based adhesive composition). Next, the adhesive composition is coated onto a substrate to form a coating film. Next, the coating film on the substrate is dried by heating to form an adhesive layer (drying step). Next, an aging treatment is performed to allow crosslinking of the base polymer caused by the thermal crosslinking agent to occur within the adhesive layer. An optical adhesive sheet is formed on a substrate in the above manner. Thus, Patent Document 1 describes an optical adhesive sheet formed from a solvent-based adhesive composition. However, during the aforementioned drying step, a relatively large amount of solvent in the coating evaporates outside the coating. From an environmental perspective, manufacturing optical adhesive sheets that includes this step is undesirable. On the other hand, the laminated structure of a display panel includes elements with surface gradients. For example, a decorative or light-shielding printed layer is provided at the edge of the pixel panel side surface of the cover glass, resulting in a gradient between the surface of the cover glass and the surface of the printed layer (printing gradient). Similarly, on the polarizing film side surface of a pixel panel with a polarizing film, a specific resin layer is provided along a portion of the peripheral edge of the polarizing film on the pixel panel, resulting in a gradient between the surface of the polarizing film edge and the surface of the resin layer (resin gradient). This type of pixel panel with a polarizing film and the aforementioned cover glass are bonded to the display panel during the manufacturing process via an optical adhesive sheet. Therefore, the optical adhesive sheet used in display panels requires flexibility to follow the degree of printing gradient (gradient following). When an optical adhesive sheet is bonded to the surface of an adherend with surface gradients (such as a cover glass with printed gradients and a pixel panel with a polarizing film and resin gradients), insufficient gradient following of the optical adhesive sheet can lead to the formation of bubbles along the gradients, which is undesirable. Furthermore, the laminated structure of display panels includes elements with high surface smoothness, such as cover glass and polarizing film. Therefore, optical adhesive sheets used in display panels also require high adhesion. This invention provides an optical adhesive sheet suitable for reducing environmental impact and for use in display panels. [Technical Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention [1] is an optical adhesive sheet comprising a base polymer as a photopolymer and having photocurability, and is capable of being cured by irradiation with a cumulative light intensity of 3000 mJ / cm. 2 The optical adhesive sheet was subjected to photocuring treatment under the above conditions, and after curing, it had a gel content of 75% or more by mass. The optical adhesive sheet was then photocured under the above conditions and then bonded to an alkali glass plate made by the float glass method. After that, the optical adhesive sheet on the alkali glass plate was subjected to heat and pressure treatment at 50°C, 0.5 MPa and 15 minutes. In the peel test of peeling the optical adhesive sheet from the alkali glass plate at 85°C, peel angle of 180° and tensile speed of 300 mm / min, it had an adhesion of 2.5 N / 10 mm or more. The present invention [2] comprises an optical adhesive sheet as described in [1] above, which further comprises a photopolymerizable multifunctional compound and a photopolymerization initiator. The present invention [3] includes an optical adhesive sheet as described in [1] or [2] above, wherein the weight average molecular weight of the base polymer is 800,000 or more. The present invention [4] comprises an optical adhesive sheet as described in any one of [1] to [3] above, wherein the material is subjected to an irradiation of a cumulative light intensity of 3000 mJ / cm. 2 The optical adhesive sheet, after being cured by photocuring under the conditions of 23°C and a tensile speed of 200 mm / min, was stretched to 6 times its original length and then, after 5 minutes, the residual stress of the optical adhesive sheet was 55 N / m. 2 the following. The present invention [5] comprises an optical adhesive sheet as described in any one of [1] to [4] above, wherein the cumulative light intensity under illumination is 3000 mJ / cm 2Under certain conditions, the optical adhesive sheet was photocured, and then bonded to an alkali glass plate manufactured by the float glass method. The optical adhesive sheet on the alkali glass plate was then subjected to heat and pressure treatment at 50°C, 0.5 MPa, and 15 minutes. In a constant load peel test at 23°C, a peel angle of 90°, and a tensile load of 2.5 N / 10 mm, the peel speed was less than 35 μm / s. [Effects of the Invention] The optical adhesive sheet of the present invention, as described above, uses a photopolymer as its base polymer. This type of adhesive sheet is suitable for manufacture using a solvent-free adhesive composition. Furthermore, in the process of manufacturing the adhesive sheet from this solvent-free adhesive composition, a drying step requiring the solvent to evaporate and be removed from the coating of the composition is unnecessary, thus reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention, as described above, possesses photocurability. This optical adhesive sheet can be adhered to the surface of the substrate with surface gradients in a soft state before photocuring. Moreover, the optical adhesive sheet can be photocured and become highly elastic after being adhered to the substrate. This optical adhesive sheet is suitable for achieving good gradient tracking when adhered to a substrate with a surface gradient. Therefore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention is suitable for bonding elements including elements with surface gradients (such as cover glass) together during the manufacturing process of a display panel. Furthermore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention, after photocuring under specific conditions as described above, exhibits an adhesion of 2.5 N / 10 mm or more to alkali glass plates manufactured by the float glass method at high temperatures (85°C). Alkali glass plates manufactured by the float glass method are difficult to adhere to adhesives due to their high surface smoothness, but the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention exhibits excellent adhesion to such glass plates. This optical adhesive sheet is suitable for bonding substrates with high surface smoothness, such as cover glass and polarizing films, in display panels. Therefore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention is suitable for display panel applications. Furthermore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention, after photocuring under specific conditions as described above, has a gel fraction of 75% by mass or higher. Such a high gel fraction optical adhesive sheet is not easily peeled off from the adhered object before curing (high elasticity) of the adhesive sheet, nor is it easily peeled off from the adhered object after curing (high elasticity) of the adhesive sheet. This type of optical adhesive sheet capable of achieving a high gel fraction is suitable for bonding the first adhered object and the second adhered object together by adhering the adhesive sheet to a first adhered object with a surface gradient (adhered in a soft state before photocuring of the adhesive sheet), allowing the adhesive sheet to photocure, and then bonding the first adhered object and the second adhered object together via the adhesive sheet, thereby ensuring good bonding reliability between the first and second adhered objects. Therefore, the optical adhesive sheet of the present invention is suitable for display panel applications. As shown in FIG1, the adhesive sheet 10, as one embodiment of the present invention, has a sheet shape of a specific thickness and extends in a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction H (plane direction). The adhesive sheet 10 has an adhesive surface 11 and an adhesive surface 12 opposite to the adhesive surface 11. FIG1 illustratively shows the state in which release liner 21 and 22 are attached to the adhesive surfaces 11 and 12 of the adhesive sheet 10. The release liner 21 is disposed on the adhesive surface 11. The release liner 22 is disposed on the adhesive surface 12. Furthermore, the adhesive sheet 10 is an optical adhesive sheet disposed on the light-passing portion of a display panel. Examples of display panels include liquid crystal panels and organic EL panels. The display panel, for example, has a multilayer structure including elements such as a pixel panel, a polarizing film, a touch panel, and a cover glass. The adhesive sheet 10 is used, for example, in the manufacturing process of the display panel to bond the elements included in the multilayer structure to each other. The adhesive sheet 10 is a sheet-like pressure-sensitive adhesive. The adhesive sheet 10 contains a base polymer as a photopolymer, and in this embodiment further contains a photopolymerizable multifunctional compound and a photopolymerization initiator, exhibiting photocurability. Photocurability refers to the property of becoming highly elastic upon exposure to active energy rays such as ultraviolet light. The adhesive sheet 10, upon exposure to a cumulative light intensity of 3000 mJ / cm², achieves photocurability. 2 Under certain conditions, the material is light-cured and, after curing, exhibits a gel content of 75% or more by mass, and an adhesion force F of 2.5 N / 10 mm or more in the peel test described below. The method for determining the gel content is as described in the examples below. The adhesion force F is the adhesion force of the adhesive sheet 10 to the alkali glass plate after light curing. The strength of the adhesion force of the adhesive sheet to the alkali glass plate is, for example, an indicator of the strength of the adhesion force of the adhesive sheet to the polarizing film. In the peeling test, the cumulative light intensity was 3000 mJ / cm. 2 Under certain conditions, the adhesive sheet 10 was light-cured, and then bonded to an alkali glass plate produced by the float glass method. The adhesive sheet 10 was then subjected to heat and pressure treatment on the alkali glass plate at 50°C, 0.5 MPa, and 15 minutes. Finally, the adhesive sheet 10 was peeled from the alkali glass plate at 85°C, a peel angle of 180°, and a tensile speed of 300 mm / min, and the adhesion force F was measured. The peel test is more specifically described below with reference to the examples. As described above, the base polymer of the adhesive sheet 10 is a photopolymer. This type of adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for manufacture from a solvent-free adhesive composition. Moreover, in the process of manufacturing the adhesive sheet from the solvent-free adhesive composition, there is no need for a drying step that allows the solvent to evaporate and be removed from the coating of the composition, thus reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, the adhesive sheet 10, as described above, possesses photocurability. This adhesive sheet 10 can adhere to the surface of the substrate with surface gradients in a soft state before photocuring. Moreover, the adhesive sheet 10 can become highly elastic after photocuring upon adhesion to the substrate. This adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for achieving good gradient following when adhered to a substrate with a surface gradient. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for bonding elements containing elements with surface gradients (such as cover glass) together during the manufacturing process of a display panel. Furthermore, as described above, after photocuring under specific conditions, the adhesive sheet 10 exhibits an adhesion force F of 2.5 N / 10 mm or more to alkali glass sheets produced by the float glass method at high temperatures (85°C). Alkali glass sheets produced by the float glass method are difficult to adhere to with adhesives due to their high surface smoothness, but the adhesive sheet 10 exhibits excellent adhesion to these glass sheets. This adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for bonding substrates with high surface smoothness, such as glass substrates and polarizing films, in display panels. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for display panel applications. Furthermore, as described above, the adhesive sheet 10, after photocuring under specific conditions, has a gel fraction of 75% by mass or higher. This high gel fraction of the adhesive sheet 10 makes it difficult for the adhered object to peel off from itself before curing (before becoming highly elastic), and also makes it difficult for the adhered object to peel off from itself after curing (before becoming highly elastic). This type of adhesive sheet 10, capable of achieving a high gel fraction, is suitable for photocuring by adhering it to a first adhered object with a surface gradient (adhered in its soft state before photocuring), thereby bonding the first and second adhered objects together and ensuring good bonding reliability between the first and second adhered objects. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for display panel applications. As described above, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for reducing environmental impact and for display panel applications. From the viewpoint of good adhesion to adherents with high surface smoothness, the adhesion force F is preferably 2.7 N / 10 mm or more, more preferably 2.9 N / 10 mm or more, and even more preferably 3.1 N / 10 mm or more.

Methods for adjusting the gel fraction of the adhesive sheet 10 before light curing include, for example, selecting the type of base polymer in the adhesive sheet 10, adjusting the molecular weight, and adjusting the formulation amount. The adhesive sheet 10 is subjected to a cumulative light intensity of 3000 mJ / cm. 2 After curing under light-curing conditions, the residual stress S after elongation to 6 times its original length at 23°C and a tensile speed of 200 mm / min for 5 minutes is preferably 55 N / m. 2 Below, 50 N / m is preferred. 2 The following is preferred: 40 N / m 2 The residual stress S is preferably 10 N / m. 2The above is preferred to be 20 N / m. 2 The above, and preferably 30 N / m 2 The above describes the composition of the residual stress S, which is beneficial for ensuring the step followability of the adhesive sheet 10 after photocuring. Examples of methods for adjusting the residual stress S include adjusting the monomer composition, molecular weight, formulation amount, and degree of crosslinking of the base polymer in the adhesive sheet 10. The method for measuring the residual stress S is specifically described below with reference to the examples. The peel speed of the adhesive sheet 10 in the following constant load peel test is preferably 35 μm / s or less, more preferably 30 μm / s or less, and even more preferably 25 μm / s or less. This peel speed is, for example, 0.1 μm / s or more, 0.5 μm / s or more, or 1 μm / s or more. This configuration of peel speed is better for ensuring the bonding reliability of the adhesive sheet 10 to the adherend when the photocured adhesive sheet 10 is bonded to the surface step portion of the adherend with surface step. In the constant load peel test, the cumulative light intensity was 3000 mJ / cm. 2 Under certain conditions, the adhesive sheet 10 was photocured, and then bonded to an alkali glass plate made by a float glass method. The adhesive sheet 10 was then subjected to heat and pressure treatment on the alkali glass plate at 50°C, 0.5 MPa, and 15 minutes. The peeling speed was then measured by peeling the optical adhesive sheet from the alkali glass plate at 23°C, a peel angle of 90°, and a tensile load of 2.5 N / 10 mm. The constant load peel test is more specifically described below with reference to the examples.

The total light transmittance of the adhesive sheet 10 is, for example, 100% or lower. The total light transmittance can be measured according to JIS K 7375 (2008). The adhesive sheet 10 can be manufactured, for example, in the following manner. First, a prepolymer composition is prepared (prepolymer composition preparation step). Specifically, first, a mixture (liquid) comprising the aforementioned monofunctional monomers used for forming the basic polymer and a photopolymerization initiator is prepared. This mixture is solvent-free. Second, by irradiating the mixture with ultraviolet light, a portion of the monofunctional monomers in the mixture undergoes photopolymerization to obtain a prepolymer composition (solvent-free prepolymer composition). Examples of ultraviolet light sources for ultraviolet irradiation include ultraviolet LED lamps, black light lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, and metal halide lamps. Furthermore, during ultraviolet irradiation, a wavelength cutoff filter may be used as needed to block a portion of the wavelength range of light emitted from the light source. During ultraviolet irradiation, the illuminance is, for example, 5–200 mW / cm². 2 m, the cumulative light intensity of the irradiation is, for example, 100–5000 mJ / cm. 2 The ultraviolet irradiation is preferably continued until the viscosity of the composition reaches approximately 15–25 Pa·s. This viscosity is set as the value measured using a Type B viscometer under the conditions of rotor No. 5, rotor speed 10 rpm, and temperature 30°C. The prepolymer composition contains a photopolymer of a monofunctional monomer (the aforementioned second photopolymer) and unpolymerized monofunctional monomers (residual monomers). Furthermore, the prepolymer composition does not contain solvents. Next, a second photopolymerizable multifunctional compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and other components as needed are added to the prepolymer composition to prepare an adhesive composition (adhesive composition preparation step). Other components may include, for example, antioxidants and silane coupling agents. Since the adhesive composition does not contain solvents, it is a solvent-free adhesive composition. Next, as shown in Figure 2A, a coating 10A is formed between the release liner 21 and 22' (coating formation step). Specifically, an adhesive composition is applied to the release liner 21 to form a coating 10A, and then the release liner 22' is bonded onto the coating 10A on the release liner 21. The release liner 21 and 22' are, for example, flexible plastic films. Examples of such plastic films include polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate films, polyethylene films, and polypropylene films. The thickness of the release liner is, for example, 3 μm or more, and, for example, 200 μm or less. Preferably, the surface of the release liner has undergone a release treatment. Examples of coating methods for adhesive compositions include: roller coating, contact roller coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, roller brush coating, spray coating, dip roller coating, bar coating, squeegee coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, die lip coating, and nozzle coating. Next, as shown in Figure 2B, the coating 10A between the release liner 21 and 22' is irradiated with ultraviolet light to photocur it, forming a base adhesive sheet 10B (base adhesive sheet formation step). During ultraviolet irradiation, a photopolymerization reaction containing the aforementioned residual monomer and a second photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound is carried out in the coating to form a first photopolymerizable polymer with a photocrosslinked structure. Next, as shown in Figure 2C, the release liner 22' is peeled off from the base adhesive sheet 10B (peeling step). Next, as shown in Figure 2D, an additive component is supplied to the base adhesive sheet 10B (additive component supply step). For example, a additive component solution (not shown) containing the additive component and solvent is applied to the exposed surface of the base adhesive sheet 10B. The additive component includes a first photopolymerizable multifunctional compound and a photopolymerization initiator, and may also include additives such as ultraviolet absorbers or antioxidants. Next, while allowing the additive component to penetrate from the surface of the base adhesive sheet 10B to the base adhesive sheet 10B, heating is performed as needed to vaporize the solvent. Before this step, the base polymer already has a cross-linked structure to form the base adhesive sheet 10B. Therefore, it is not easy for an orange peel surface to form on the base adhesive sheet 10B due to the vaporization of the solvent in this step (it is not actually formed). Furthermore, a photocurable adhesive sheet 10 is formed by the base adhesive sheet 10B and the additive component. The amount of the first photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound added in this step is preferably 2.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 3 parts by mass or more, and even more preferably 3.5 parts by mass or more, and preferably 8 parts by mass or less, more preferably 7 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 6 parts by mass or less, relative to the total 100 parts by mass of the prepolymer composition and the second photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound. This configuration is suitable for ensuring good bonding reliability of the adhesive sheet 10 after photocuring. Next, as shown in Figure 2E, the release liner 22 is bonded to the adhesive sheet 10 (bonding step). As the release liner 22, for example, the plastic film described above regarding release liners 21 and 22' can be cited. In the manner described above, an adhesive sheet 10 with its adhesive surfaces covered and protected by release liner 21, 22 can be manufactured. The adhesive sheet 10, formed from a solvent-free adhesive composition, is suitable for reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, the release liner 21, 22 are self-peeling from the adhesive sheet 10 as needed when using it. Figures 3A to 3C illustrate one example of the use of the adhesive sheet 10. The method of using the adhesive sheet 10 refers to a method of bonding the adhered bodies together using the adhesive sheet 10. The method includes a bonding step (Figure 3A), a light curing step (Figure 3B), and a joining step (Figure 3C). First, in the bonding step, as shown in FIG3A, an adhesive sheet 10 is bonded to the cover glass 31 (the first adherend). The cover glass 31 has a first surface 31a and a second surface 31b opposite to the first surface 31a. A decorative or light-shielding printed layer 32 is formed on the edge of the first surface 31a. The printed layer 32 is provided, for example, throughout the entire circumference of the edge of the cover glass 31. There is a step difference (printing step difference) between the surface of the first surface 31a and the surface of the printed layer 32 on the cover glass 31. That is, the cover glass 31 is an adherend with a step difference on its surface. In this step, specifically, the adhesive sheet 10 before light curing is bonded to the area of ​​the surface 31a of the cover glass 31 containing the printed layer 32. FIG3A illustrates the case where the adhesive sheet 10 before light curing is bonded to the entire surface 31a of the cover glass 31. Secondly, in the photocuring step, as shown in Figure 3B, the adhesive sheet 10 on the cover glass 31 is photocured by ultraviolet irradiation. Under ultraviolet irradiation, a photopolymerization reaction of a first photopolymerizable multifunctional compound occurs in the adhesive sheet 10, forming a photopolymer of the first photopolymerizable multifunctional compound. Since this photopolymerization reaction occurs around the base polymer (the first photopolymerizable polymer and the second photopolymerizable polymer having a photocrosslinking structure), the photopolymer of the first photopolymerizable multifunctional compound forms an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) with the base polymer on one side. This makes the adhesive sheet 10 highly elastic. Examples of ultraviolet light sources for ultraviolet irradiation include ultraviolet LED lamps, black light lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, and metal halide lamps. Furthermore, a wavelength cutoff filter can also be used to cut off a portion of the wavelength range of light emitted from the light source during ultraviolet irradiation. During ultraviolet irradiation, the cumulative irradiation intensity is, for example, 50–10000 mJ / cm². 2 . Next, in the bonding step, as shown in FIG3C, the cover glass 31 and the component 33 are bonded via the photocured adhesive sheet 10 on the cover glass 31. The component 33 is, for example, a pixel panel for a display panel, a polarizing film, or a touch panel. The component 33 has the aforementioned resin step difference on the surface (one side in the thickness direction H) on the side of the adhesive sheet 10. In this way, a bond W (cover glass 31 / adhesive sheet 10 / component 33) can be obtained. As described above, the adhesive sheet 10 has photocurability. During the bonding step (FIG. 3A), this adhesive sheet 10 can be bonded to the stepped surface of the substrate (surface 31a of the cover glass 31) in a soft state before photocuring. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for achieving good step tracking. As described above, after photocuring under specific conditions, the adhesive sheet 10 exhibits an adhesion force F of 2.5 N / 10 mm or more to an alkali glass plate manufactured by the float glass method at high temperature (85°C). This adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for bonding substrates with high surface smoothness, such as glass substrates and polarizing films, in display panels. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for display panel applications. As described above, the adhesive sheet 10, after photocuring under specific conditions, has a gel fraction of 75% by mass or higher. This high gel fraction of the adhesive sheet 10 makes it difficult for the adhered object to peel off before or after curing. This adhesive sheet 10, capable of achieving a high gel fraction, is suitable for bonding the cover glass 31 (first adhered object) with a surface gradient (Fig. 3A) to a component 33 (second adhered object) via photocuring (Fig. 3B), thus ensuring good bonding reliability between the first and second adhered objects. Therefore, the adhesive sheet 10 is suitable for display panel applications. [Example] The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments shown. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Furthermore, the specific values ​​of the dosage (content), physical property value, parameters, etc. described below can be replaced with the upper limit (defined as "below" or "not reached") or lower limit (defined as "above" or "exceeded") of the dosage (content), physical property value, parameters, etc., corresponding to those described in the above "Embodiment". <Preparation of Acrylic Oligomers> First, in a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, reflux condenser, and nitrogen inlet, a mixture comprising 60 parts by mass of dicyclopentyl methacrylate (DCPMA), 40 parts by mass of methyl methacrylate (MMA), 3.5 parts by mass of α-thioglycerol as a chain transfer agent, and 100 parts by mass of toluene as a polymerization solvent was stirred at 70°C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere. Next, 0.2 parts by mass of 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a thermal polymerization initiator was added to the mixture to prepare a reaction solution. The reaction was carried out at 70°C for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by a reaction at 80°C for 2 hours (polymerization reaction). Next, the reaction solution was heated at 130°C to volatilize and remove the toluene, chain transfer agent, and unreacted monomers. This yielded an acrylic oligomer (solid). The weight average molecular weight of this acrylic oligomer was 5100. <Preparation of the Prepolymer Composition> In a flask, to a monomer mixture comprising 71 parts by weight of n-butyl acrylate (BA), 13 parts by weight of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP), 13 parts by weight of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4HBA), and 3 parts by weight of acrylamide (ACMO), 0.031 parts by weight of a first photopolymerization initiator (trade name "Omnirad 184", 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone, manufactured by BASF) and 0.031 parts by weight of a second photopolymerization initiator (trade name "Omnirad 651", 2,2-dimethoxy-1,2-diphenylethane-1-one, manufactured by BASF) were added. The mixture was then irradiated with ultraviolet light under a nitrogen atmosphere, thereby partially polymerizing one of the monomer components in the mixture to obtain the prepolymer composition. Ultraviolet irradiation continued until the viscosity of the composition reached approximately 20 Pa·s. The viscosity was measured using a type B viscometer at rotor No. 5, rotor speed of 10 rpm, and temperature of 30°C. The obtained prepolymer composition contains a photopolymer (photopolymer P1a) and unpolymerized monomer components (residual monomers). <Preparation of Adhesive Composition> Next, 100 parts by weight of the prepolymer composition, 3 parts by weight of the above-mentioned acrylic oligomer, 0.6 parts by weight of the urethane acrylate oligomer (trade name "UN-350", manufactured by Nejou Kogyo Co., Ltd.) as the second photopolymerizable multifunctional compound, 0.4 parts by weight of the third photopolymerization initiator (trade name "Omnirad819", bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide, manufactured by BASF), 0.5 parts by weight of the antioxidant (trade name "Irganox1010", manufactured by BASF), 0.2 parts by weight of the rust inhibitor (trade name "BT-120", manufactured by Jōhoku Chemical Co., Ltd.), and 0.3 parts by weight of the silane coupling agent (trade name "KBM-403", manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) were mixed to obtain the adhesive composition. <Preparation of the Base Adhesive Sheet> Next, an adhesive composition is coated onto the release-treated surface of a first release liner (trade name "DIAFOIL MRF", thickness 75 μm, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) with a release-treated surface on one side to form a coating film. Next, a second release liner (trade name "DIAFOIL MRE", thickness 75 μm, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) with a release-treated surface on one side is bonded onto the coating film on the first release liner. Next, ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the coating film between the release liners from the second release liner side to photocur the coating film and form an adhesive layer with a thickness of 100 μm (ultraviolet irradiation step). During ultraviolet irradiation, a black light lamp (wavelength 320 nm to 400 nm, manufactured by Toshiba) is used as the light source, and the illuminance is set to 6.5 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 1500 mJ / cm. 2 In the ultraviolet irradiation step, a photopolymerization reaction is carried out on the coating film, comprising the aforementioned residual monomer and a second photopolymerizable multifunctional compound (urethane acrylate oligomer), to form a photopolymerizable polymer P1b with a photocrosslinked structure. Furthermore, since the photopolymerization reaction occurs around the photopolymerizable polymer P1a, the photopolymerizable polymer P1b is formed around the photopolymerizable polymer P1a. The adhesive layer formed in this step comprises both photopolymerizable polymer P1a and photopolymerizable polymer P1b as the base polymer P1. A base adhesive sheet with release liner attached to both sides (first release liner / base adhesive sheet (100 μm thick) / second release liner) is prepared in the above manner. [Example 1] <Preparation of Post-Addition Component Solution> First, 4.0 parts by mass of a polyfunctional acrylate monomer (trade name "Viscoat #295", trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), manufactured by Osaka Organic Chemicals Co., Ltd.) as the first photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound, 0.3 parts by mass of a third photopolymerization initiator (trade name "Omnirad 819", manufactured by BASF), 7.0 parts by mass of a UV absorber (trade name "Tinosorb S", manufactured by BASF), and 88.7 parts by mass of ethyl acetate as a solvent were mixed to prepare a post-addition component solution (the components other than the solvent in the solution are post-addition components). The mixing amounts of the post-addition component solution are shown in Table 1. The units of the mixing amounts shown in Table 1 are relative "parts by mass". <Fabrication of Photocurable Optical Adhesive Sheet> Next, after peeling off the second release liner from the base adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides, a coating of the additive solution (coating treatment) is applied to the exposed surface of the base adhesive sheet to a thickness of 20 μm. During coating, an RDS No.10 rod coater manufactured by RD SPECIALTIES is used. Next, a drying treatment is performed in a desiccator at 110°C for 60 seconds. Through the coating treatment and drying treatment, the additive components (polyfunctional acrylate monomer, third photopolymerization initiator, and UV absorber) penetrate into the base adhesive sheet, and the solvent is vaporized. The base adhesive sheet is transformed into a photocurable adhesive sheet due to the penetration of the additive components. In this embodiment, 4 parts by mass of the first photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound (TMPTA in Example 1) relative to 100 parts by mass of the prepolymer composition and the second photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound (i.e., 100 parts by mass of the base polymer) were added to the base adhesive sheet (the mass parts of the first photopolymerizable polyfunctional compound relative to 100 parts by mass of the base polymer are shown in Table 2). Next, the release-treated surface of the third release liner (trade name "DIAFOIL MRE", thickness 75 μm, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) with a release-treated surface on one side was bonded onto the adhesive sheet on the first release liner. The optical adhesive sheet with release liner attached to both sides of Example 1 was fabricated in the manner described above (first release liner / photocurable optical adhesive sheet (100 μm thick) / third release liner). [Examples 2-5] Except for changing the composition of the post-added component solution to the composition shown in Table 1, the adhesive sheets with release liner on both sides of Examples 2-5 were prepared in the same manner as the adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides of Example 1. In Examples 3-5, in the preparation of the post-added component solution, in addition to TMPTA, ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate (BPAEODE) (trade name "ABE-300", manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was used as the first photopolymerizable multifunctional compound. [Comparative Examples 1-3] Except as described below, adhesive sheets with release liner on both sides of Comparative Examples 1-3 were prepared in the same manner as the adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides of Example 1. The composition of the added component solution was changed to the composition shown in Table 1. In the ultraviolet irradiation step for the preparation of the base adhesive sheet, after ultraviolet irradiation using a black light lamp (first irradiation), ultraviolet irradiation was performed using an ultraviolet LED lamp (wavelength 365 nm, manufactured by Quark Technology) (second irradiation). In the second irradiation, the illuminance was set to 90 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 1800 mJ / cm. 2 Through this ultraviolet irradiation step, a base polymer P2 with a weight average molecular weight (Mw) lower than that of the base polymer P1 is formed. <Weight-Average Molecular Weight> The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the base polymers P1 and P2 was determined. Specifically, the Mw of the base polymers was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) under the following conditions and converted to polystyrene. A GPC apparatus (trade name "Alliance", manufactured by Waters) was used for the determination. The sample solution was prepared as follows: First, a 0.15% by mass tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution (containing 10 mM phosphoric acid) was prepared using the base polymers as the sample, and the THF solution was left to stand for 20 hours. Second, the THF solution was filtered using a membrane filter with an average pore size of 0.45 μm, and the filtrate was used as the sample solution for molecular weight determination. [GPC Measurement Conditions] Column: G7000H XL (Upstream side), GMH XL and GMH XL(Downstream side) Tosoh manufacturing column temperature: 40°C; Solution: Tetrahydrofuran solution containing phosphoric acid (10 mM); Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min; Sample injection volume: 100 μL; Standard sample: Polystyrene (PS); Detector: Differential refractometer (RI). <Gel Fraction> The gel fraction after photocuring was measured for each optical adhesive sheet of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3. Specifically, as described below. First, the optically bonded sheets between the release liner and the release liner are irradiated with ultraviolet light. A metal halide lamp is used as the light source for the ultraviolet irradiation, and the illuminance is set to 300 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 3000 mJ / cm. 2 Next, approximately 1 g of adhesive sample was collected from the optical adhesive sheet. Then, the mass (W) of the adhesive sample was determined. 1) Next, the adhesive sample was immersed in 40 g of ethyl acetate in a container for 7 days. Next, all components insoluble in ethyl acetate (undissolved portion) were recovered. Next, the undissolved portion was dried at 130°C for 2 hours (to remove ethyl acetate). Next, the mass (W) of the undissolved portion was determined. 2). Then, based on the following formula, the gel fraction of the photocured optical adhesive sheet is calculated. Its value is shown in Table 2. Gel fraction (mass%) = (W 2 / W 1)×100 <Transmittance> The transmittance of each optical adhesive sheet in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was measured as follows. First, a sample for transmittance measurement was prepared. Specifically, after peeling a release liner from the optical adhesive sheet, the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet was adhered to alkali-free glass (manufactured by Matsunami Glass Co., Ltd.), and the release liner was peeled off from the optical adhesive sheet on the glass. This yielded the sample for measurement. Next, the transmittance of the optical adhesive sheet in the sample was measured using a spectrophotometer (trade name "U4100", manufactured by Hitachi High Technology). Furthermore, in this measurement, the measurement results obtained only under the same conditions for alkali-free glass were used as a baseline. The transmittance at a wavelength of 380 nm and the transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm measured for the optical adhesive sheet are shown in Table 1. <Adhesion> The adhesion of each optical adhesive sheet in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was determined by the following peel test. First, test pieces were prepared for each optical adhesive sheet. In preparing the test pieces, firstly, the third release liner was peeled off from the optical adhesive sheet, and a PET film (50 μm thick) was laminated onto the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet to obtain a laminated film (first release liner / optical adhesive sheet / PET film). Next, test pieces (10 mm wide × 100 mm long) were cut from the laminated film. Then, the optical adhesive sheet in the test piece was irradiated with ultraviolet light (photocuring treatment) from the first release liner side. During ultraviolet irradiation, a metal halide lamp was used as the light source, and the illuminance was set to 300 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 3000 mJ / cm. 2 Next, under conditions of 23°C and 50% relative humidity, the first release liner is peeled off from the optical adhesive sheet of the test piece. The exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet is then bonded to the air surface of an alkali glass plate (blue glass, manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.) produced by the float glass method, thus obtaining the first laminate (alkali glass plate / optical adhesive sheet / PET film). The air surface refers to the exposed surface of the alkali glass plate (the opposite side of the surface in contact with the molten metal) when the alkali glass plate flows on the molten metal during the manufacturing process. During bonding, the test piece is pressed onto the alkali glass plate by moving a 2 kg roller back and forth once (the same process is repeated in the following bonding process). Next, the first laminate is subjected to autoclave treatment (heat and pressure treatment). During autoclave treatment, the temperature is set to 50°C, the pressure is set to 0.5 MPa, and the treatment time is set to 15 minutes. Next, the first laminate was left to stand for 30 minutes at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Subsequently, tensile tests were performed on the specimens peeled from the alkali glass plate under the conditions of 85°C, 50% relative humidity, a peel angle of 180°, and a tensile speed of 300 mm / min to determine the peel strength. In this test, a tensile testing machine (trade name "Tension and Compression Testing Machine TCM-1kNB", manufactured by Minebea) was used. The measured peel strength is shown in Table 2 as the adhesion force F (N / 10 mm) to the light-cured alkali glass plate prepared by the float glass method. <Residual Stress> The residual stress during elongation (strain) was investigated for each optical adhesive sheet of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3. Specifically, it is described below. First, a sheet with a width of 10 mm and a length of 60 mm was cut from the optical adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides (first release liner / optical adhesive sheet / third release liner). Next, the first and third release liners were peeled from the optical adhesive sheet to obtain a specimen (optical adhesive sheet). Then, the specimen was stretched along its length using a tensile testing machine (trade name "Autograph AGS-J", manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), and the residual stress generated in the specimen was measured at a strain value of 600% (6 times the length). In this test, the initial clamping distance was 100 mm, and the temperature condition was 23°C. In this test, while measuring the stress generated in the specimen, the specimen was stretched to 6 times its length (clamping distance 600 mm) at a tensile speed of 200 mm / min and then held at that length. The residual stress S after the specimen was stretched to 6 times its length and for 5 minutes is shown in Table 2. <Constant Load Peel Test> The peel speed in the constant load peel test was measured for each optical adhesive sheet in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3. First, test pieces were prepared for each optical adhesive sheet. In preparing the test pieces, firstly, the third release liner was peeled off from the optical adhesive sheet, and a PET film (50 μm thick) was laminated onto the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet to obtain a laminated film (first release liner / optical adhesive sheet / PET film). Next, test pieces (10 mm wide × 100 mm long) were cut from the laminated film. Then, the optical adhesive sheet in the test piece was irradiated with ultraviolet light (photocuring treatment) from the first release liner side. During ultraviolet irradiation, a metal halide lamp was used as the light source, and the illuminance was set to 300 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 3000 mJ / cm. 2 Next, at 23°C and 50% relative humidity, the first release liner was peeled off from the optical adhesive sheet of the test piece. The exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet was then bonded to the air surface of an alkali glass plate (blue glass, manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.) produced by the float glass method, thus obtaining a second laminate (alkali glass plate / optical adhesive sheet / PET film). Next, the second laminate was subjected to autoclave treatment (heat and pressure treatment). In the autoclave treatment, the temperature was set to 50°C, the pressure to 0.5 MPa, and the treatment time to 15 minutes. Next, the second laminate was allowed to stand for 30 minutes at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Subsequently, tensile tests were performed on the specimens peeled from the alkali glass plate under the conditions of 23°C, 50% relative humidity, a peel angle of 90°, and a tensile load of 2.5 N / 10 mm (fixed), and the peel speed was measured. A tensile testing machine (trade name "Tensile Compression Testing Machine TCM-1kNB", manufactured by Minebea) was used in this measurement. The measured peel speeds (μm / s) are shown in Table 2. <Step Follow-up Before Photocuring> The step follow-up of each optical adhesive sheet of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 before photocuring was investigated in the following manner. First, a sample sheet (75 mm long × 45 mm wide) is cut from the optical adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides. Second, a third release liner is peeled from the optical adhesive sheet of the sample sheet, and the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet is then bonded to the center of a PET film (100 mm long × 50 mm wide, 125 μm thick). During bonding, a roller laminator is used, with the roller pressure set to 0.2 MPa and the feed speed set to 100 mm / min (the same applies to the bonding described below). Next, a first release liner is peeled from the optical adhesive sheet on the PET film, and the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet is bonded to a glass plate with a printed layer (100 mm long × 50 mm wide, 500 μm thick) by vacuum bonding (surface pressure 0.3 MPa, pressure 100 Pa), thus obtaining the first bond. Figure 4 shows the positional relationship between the glass plate 41 and the optical adhesive sheet 42 in the first bonding assembly. A printed layer 43 (45 μm thick, black ink layer) is formed around the entire circumference of the end edge of the glass plate 41 on the thickness direction side. The printed layer 43 is formed in the length direction L1 within a range of 15 mm inward from each end of the glass plate 41, and in the width direction L2 within a range of 5 mm inward from each end of the glass plate 41 (in Figure 4, the printed layer is indicated by shading). The optical adhesive sheet 42 is attached to the center of the thickness direction side of the glass plate 41, and is in contact with the printed layer 43 around the entire circumference of its end edge. That is, the printed layer 43 on the glass plate 41 is sandwiched between the glass plate 41 and the optical adhesive sheet 42 within a range of 2.5 mm outward from the inner end of the layer. Next, the first bond was autoclaved at 50°C and 0.5 MPa for 30 minutes. Afterward, the area near the inner edge of the printed layer in the first bond was observed. Specifically, using a digital microscope at 20x magnification, the inner side of the inner edge of the printed layer (the area where the optical adhesive sheet should be in close contact with the glass plate) was observed from the PET film side of the first bond. Then, regarding the step tracking performance of the optical adhesive sheet, cases where no bubbles were detected within the observation range were rated as "excellent," and cases where bubbles were detected were rated as "poor." The results are shown in Table 2. <Step Follow-up After Photocuring> The step follow-up of each optical adhesive sheet of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 after photocuring was investigated in the following manner. First, a sample sheet of a specific size is cut from the optical adhesive sheet with release liner on both sides. Second, a third release liner is peeled from the optical adhesive sheet of the sample sheet, and the exposed surface of the optical adhesive sheet is then bonded to a glass plate. Ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the optical adhesive sheet on the glass plate from the side with the first release liner to photocur the optical adhesive sheet. A metal halide lamp is used as the light source for the ultraviolet irradiation, and the illuminance is set to 300 mW / cm². 2 The cumulative irradiation intensity was set to 3000 mJ / cm. 2 . On the other hand, after a specific polarizing film is laminated to one side of a PET film (75 μm thick), a polyimide (PI) tape (50 μm thick) with an adhesive layer on one side is laminated to a portion of the polarizing film on the PET film. This results in a PET film with a polarizing film having surface aberrations (simulating resin aberrations) formed by the PI tape. Next, after peeling the first release liner from the optical adhesive sheet on the glass plate, the optical adhesive sheet is bonded to the polarizing film side of the PET film with a polarizing film to obtain the second bond. Specifically, the optical adhesive sheet and the PET film with a polarizing film are bonded with the end of the PI tape overlapping the end of the optical adhesive sheet by 180 μm. A vacuum bonding device is used for this bonding. The bonding pressure is set to 0.1 MPa. After bonding, the second bond is subjected to autoclaving at 40°C and 0.4 MPa for 5 minutes. Next, the edge of the PI tape in the second bond was observed using an optical microscope to confirm that no bubbles were generated. Then, the second bond was subjected to a 100-hour high-temperature and humidification test. In this test, the heating temperature was set to 85°C and the relative humidity to 85%. After the high-temperature and humidification test, the edge of the PI tape in the second bond was observed using an optical microscope. Then, regarding the step followability of the optically bonded sheet after photocuring, cases where no bubbles were detected within the observation range were evaluated as "excellent," and cases where bubbles were detected were evaluated as "poor." The results are shown in Table 2.
