Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical laminate and an image display device. [Background technology]

[0002] Polarizing plates, which are made by laminating a protective film on one or both sides of a polarizer, are optical components that are widely used in image display devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic electroluminescence (OLED) displays, including mobile televisions, and in recent years, various mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet terminals. Polarizing plates are often used by being attached to image display elements (liquid crystal cells, organic EL display elements, etc.) via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (for example, JP 2010-229321 A (Patent Document 1)). For this reason, polarizing plates are sometimes distributed on the market in the form of pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-attached polarizing plates, in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is previously provided on one surface of the polarizing plate.

[0003] Furthermore, mobile devices are often used in harsh environments of high temperature and humidity, and polarizers are therefore required to have high durability. JP 2013-105036 A (Patent Document 2) describes that by increasing the boric acid content in a polarizer and generating a large amount of boric acid crosslinking, the I3 complex is highly oriented and highly stable, thereby suppressing the occurrence of blue leak and providing a polarizer with excellent low-temperature, high-humidity durability.

[0005] Polarizing plates have a problem in that discoloration is likely to occur at the edges of the polarizer under high-temperature and high-humidity environments. This problem is particularly pronounced in configurations in which a protective film is laminated to only one side of the polarizer.

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In all of the drawings, the scales of the components are appropriately adjusted to make them easier to understand, and the scales of the components shown in the drawings do not necessarily match the scales of the actual components.

[0011] <Optical laminate> The optical laminate of the present invention includes a polarizer, a light-selectively absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and an intermediate layer laminated between the polarizer and the light-selectively absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in contact with them. An example of the layer structure of the optical laminate of the present invention is shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the optical laminate of the present invention. The optical laminate 100 shown in Fig. 1 has, in this order, a protective film 11, a polarizer 10, an intermediate layer 300, and a light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (hereinafter also referred to as "first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer") 20. The intermediate layer 300 has only one or more layers selected from the group consisting of a liquid crystal cured layer, an alignment layer, and an attachment layer.

[0012] Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the optical laminate of the present invention. The optical laminate 101 shown in Fig. 2 has, in this order, a protective film 11, a polarizer 10, an intermediate layer 300, and a light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20. The intermediate layer 300 has, in this order from the polarizer 10 side, a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32, a first liquid crystal cured layer 30, an adhesive layer 33, and a second liquid crystal cured layer 31.

[0013] 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the optical laminate of the present invention. The optical laminate 102 shown in FIG. 3 includes a protective film 11, a polarizer 10, an intermediate layer 300, and a light-selective absorptive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20. The intermediate layer 300 is made of a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32.

[0014] The thickness of the optical laminates 100, 101, and 102 is not particularly limited as it varies depending on the function required of the optical laminate and the use of the optical laminate, but is, for example, 5 μm or more and 200 μm or less, or 10 μm or more and 150 μm or less, or 120 μm or less.

[0015] The light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a light-selective absorber. At least the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the optical laminate of the present invention has light-selective absorbing performance, and therefore the optical laminate as a whole also has light-selective absorbing performance. Therefore, when the optical laminate of the present invention is used on an image display element, it has the function of protecting the image display element from ultraviolet rays.

[0016] The optical laminate of the present invention may be configured to include a layer having light-selective absorption performance in addition to the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Examples of such other layers include a protective film 11 and an intermediate layer 300. In the present invention, the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has light-selective absorption performance and contributes to the development of light-selective absorption performance in the entire optical laminate, thereby improving the degree of freedom in designing the light-selective absorption performance of the other layers. For example, the protective film 11 may need to be designed to be thicker in order to improve its light-selective absorption performance, but the high degree of freedom in designing the light-selective absorption performance makes it easy to make the protective film 11 thinner. For example, from the viewpoint of suppressing color fading at the edge of the polarizer under high temperature and high humidity, the intermediate layer 300 is preferably configured to be substantially free of a light-selective absorbent, and even if it is contained, the content thereof is 0.5 g / m 2 When the intermediate layer 300 has a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer also preferably does not substantially contain a light-selective absorber, and even if it does contain a light-selective absorber, the content of the light-selective absorber is preferably 0.5 g / m or less. 2 It is preferable that:

[0017] The present inventors have found that there is a correlation between the content of the photoselective absorber contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the degree of color bleeding at the edge of the polarizer under high temperature and high humidity. Based on this finding, it is believed that under high temperature and high humidity, the photoselective absorber in the photoselective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer tends to migrate toward the polarizer, and such migration is one of the factors causing color bleeding. After further intensive studies, the present inventors have found that even when the photoselective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a photoselective absorber, color bleeding at the edge of the polarizer under high temperature and high humidity can be suppressed by adjusting the lamination position and absorbance of the photoselective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and have arrived at the present invention.

[0018] [Polarizer] A polarizer has the property of absorbing linearly polarized light with a vibration plane parallel to its absorption axis and transmitting linearly polarized light with a vibration plane perpendicular to the absorption axis (parallel to the transmission axis). The polarizer 10 in the optical laminate of the present invention has iodine adsorbed and oriented, and the boron content is 5.0% by mass or less. A boron content of 5.0% by mass or less, preferably 4.5% by mass or less, can suppress shrinkage caused by heating. The boron content is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, more preferably 1% by mass or more. The lower the boron content in the polarizer 10, the more likely discoloration occurs at the edges of the polarizer under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Boron in the polarizer 10 improves the degree of crosslinking of the polarizer 10 and contributes to stably retaining iodine in the polarizer 10. Therefore, a decrease in the boron content is thought to make it difficult to stably retain iodine, resulting in discoloration. In the present invention, even if the polarizer 10 has a boron content of 5.0 mass % or less, color fading under high temperature and high humidity conditions can be suppressed.

[0019] Examples of the polarizer 10 include a stretched film or stretched layer adsorbed with a dichroic dye having absorption anisotropy, a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal compound, and a liquid crystal cured layer containing a dichroic dye. The dichroic dye has a property that the absorbance in the long axis direction of the molecule is different from that in the short axis direction. The dye is preferably iodine.

[0020] (1) A polarizer that is a stretched film or layer adsorbed with a dye having absorption anisotropy A polarizer, which is a stretched film having a dye having absorption anisotropy adsorbed thereon, can usually be produced through the steps of uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film, dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film with a dichroic dye such as iodine to adsorb the dichroic dye, treating the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin film having the adsorbed dichroic dye with an aqueous boric acid solution, and washing the film with water after the treatment with the aqueous boric acid solution.

[0021] The thickness of the polarizer is usually 30 μm or less, preferably 15 μm or less, more preferably 13 μm or less, even more preferably 10 μm or less, and particularly preferably 8 μm or less. The thickness of the polarizer is usually 2 μm or more, preferably 3 μm or more, and may be, for example, 5 μm or more.

[0022] Polyvinyl alcohol resins are obtained by saponifying polyvinyl acetate resins. Examples of polyvinyl acetate resins include polyvinyl acetate, which is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate, and copolymers of vinyl acetate with other monomers copolymerizable with it. Examples of other monomers copolymerizable with vinyl acetate include unsaturated carboxylic acid compounds, olefin compounds, vinyl ether compounds, unsaturated sulfone compounds, and (meth)acrylamide compounds having an ammonium group.

[0023] The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually about 85 mol% or more and 100 mol% or less, preferably 98 mol% or more. The polyvinyl alcohol resin may be modified, and polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl acetal, etc. modified with aldehydes can also be used. The polymerization degree of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is usually 1,000 or more and 10,000 or less, preferably 1,500 or more and 5,000 or less.

[0024] A polarizer, which is a stretched layer having an absorption anisotropy dye adsorbed thereon, can typically be produced by the following steps: applying a coating solution containing the polyvinyl alcohol resin onto a substrate film; uniaxially stretching the resulting laminate film; dyeing the polyvinyl alcohol resin layer of the uniaxially stretched laminate film with a dichroic dye such as iodine to adsorb the dichroic dye to form a polarizer; treating the film with the adsorbed dichroic dye in a boric acid aqueous solution; and washing the film with water after the boric acid aqueous solution treatment. The substrate film used to form the polarizer may also be used as a protective film 11. If necessary, the substrate film may be peeled off from the polarizer. The material and thickness of the substrate film may be the same as those of the protective film 11 described below.

[0025] [Protection film] The protective film 11 can be a coating layer or film made of an optically transparent thermoplastic resin, such as a cyclic polyolefin resin; a cellulose acetate resin made of a resin such as triacetyl cellulose or diacetyl cellulose; a polyester resin made of a resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, or polybutylene terephthalate; a polycarbonate resin; a (meth)acrylic resin; a polypropylene resin, or a mixture of one or more of these. The protective film 11 may contain a light-selective absorber, which will be described later. Note that the light-selective absorber contained in the protective film 11 is retained within the protective film 11 and is therefore unlikely to migrate to the polarizer.

[0026] A hard coat layer may be formed on the protective film 11. The hard coat layer may be formed on one side or both sides of the protective film 11. By providing a hard coat layer, the protective film 11 can be improved in hardness and scratch resistance. 1. The hard coat layer may be a cured layer of, for example, an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, an amide resin, an epoxy resin, or the like. The hard coat layer may contain an additive to improve its strength. The additive is not limited, and examples thereof include inorganic fine particles, organic fine particles, and mixtures thereof. The hard coat layer is, for example, a cured layer of an ultraviolet-curable resin. Examples of ultraviolet-curable resins include an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, an amide resin, and an epoxy resin.

[0027] The thickness of the protective film is usually 1 to 100 μm, but from the viewpoints of strength, handling, etc., it is preferably 5 to 80 μm, more preferably 8 to 60 μm, and even more preferably 12 to 45 μm.

[0028] The resin film serving as the protective film 11 is attached to the polarizer 10 via, for example, an adhesive layer. Examples of the adhesive that forms the adhesive layer include a water-based adhesive, an active energy ray-curable adhesive, and a thermosetting adhesive, and it is preferable to use a water-based adhesive or an active energy ray-curable adhesive. The two opposing surfaces that are attached via the adhesive layer may be previously subjected to corona treatment, plasma treatment, flame treatment, or the like, or may have a primer layer or the like.

[0029] [Photoselective absorption adhesive layer] The photoselective absorption pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 can be formed by applying a diluted solution of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent onto a substrate and drying the diluted solution. A suitable substrate is a plastic film, and a specific example of such a substrate is a release film that has been subjected to a release treatment. An example of a release film is a film made of a resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, or polyarylate, with one side subjected to a release treatment such as silicone treatment.

[0030] The thickness of the photoselective absorbent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 150 μm or less. When laminated with an image display panel, it is usually 8 μm or more and 60 μm or less, and from the viewpoint of thinning, it is preferably 30 μm or less, further 25 μm or less, and particularly preferably 20 μm or less. When laminated with another optical film, for example, a λ / 4 retardation layer, it is usually 2 μm or more and 30 μm or less, preferably 25 μm or less, more preferably 20 μm or less, particularly preferably 18 μm or less, preferably 3 μm or more, and may be, for example, 10 μm or more, but from the viewpoint of further thinning, it is preferably 10 μm or less, particularly preferably 7 μm or less.

[0031] The light-selective absorbent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer preferably has an absorbance at a wavelength of 410 nm of 0.1 or more and 2.3 or less, more preferably 0.2 or more and 2.0 or less. When the light-selective absorbent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 has such an absorbance, the optical laminate as a whole can exhibit the desired light-selective absorption performance while making it easier to configure the optical laminate as a whole thin.

[0032] The photoselective absorption pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is The absorbance at a wavelength of 390 nm is usually 5.0 or less, and may be 4.5 or less, The absorbance at a wavelength of 400 nm is usually 5.0 or less, and may be 4.5 or less, The absorbance at a wavelength of 420 nm is usually 1.00 or less, preferably 0.60 or less, more preferably 0.40 or less, and is 0.00 or more; The absorbance at a wavelength of 430 nm is usually less than 0.20, preferably 0.18 or less, more preferably 0.10 or less, particularly preferably 0.05 or less, and is 0.00 or more; The absorbance at a wavelength of 440 nm is usually less than 0.10, preferably 0.05 or less, and 0.00 or more. By having the absorbance at each wavelength within the above range, light in the ultraviolet region can be sufficiently absorbed. While absorbing light, light in the visible light range can be transmitted as is.

[0033] The light-selective absorbing adhesive layer has a light-selective absorbing agent content of 0.01 g / m per unit area. 2 More than 5g / m 2 By setting the thickness within this range, color fading of the polarizer that occurs under high temperature and high humidity conditions can be suppressed.

[0034] The optical laminate may be configured such that the light-selective absorptive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 is provided on the outermost surface, and the optical laminate is stuck to an adherend via this.

[0035] [Adhesive composition] The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition preferably contains a resin and a photoselective absorber, and further contains a crosslinking agent. The resin is, for example, a resin whose main component is a (meth)acrylic, rubber, urethane, ester, silicone, or polyvinyl ether resin. Among these, a resin whose main component is a (meth)acrylic resin (A) is preferred.

[0036] (light selective absorber) The light-selective absorber selectively absorbs light of a specific wavelength, and preferably contains a compound having at least one absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 360 nm to 420 nm, and more preferably contains a compound having an absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 410 nm.

[0037] Examples of light-selective absorbers containing a compound having an absorption maximum at a wavelength of around 350 nm (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as light-selective absorber (A)) include organic light-selective absorbers such as oxybenzophenone-based light-selective absorbers, benzotriazole-based light-selective absorbers, salicylic acid ester-based light-selective absorbers, benzophenone-based light-selective absorbers, cyanoacrylate-based light-selective absorbers, and triazine-based light-selective absorbers. More specific examples include 5-chloro-2-(3,5-di-sec-butyl-2-hydroxylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, (2-2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-(linear and branched chain dodecyl)-4-methylphenol, 2-hydroxy-4-benzyloxybenzophenone, and 2,4-benzyloxybenzophenone. These organic light-selective absorbers may be used alone or in combination. The molecular weight of the organic light-selective absorber is preferably 100 to 3,000.

[0038] The light-selective absorber (A) may be a commercially available product. For example, triazine-based light-selective absorbers include "Kemisorb 102" manufactured by Chemipro Chemical Co., Ltd., "ADK STAB LA46" and "ADK STAB LAF70" manufactured by ADEKA Corporation, and "TINUVIN 109", "TINUVIN 171", "TINUVIN 234", "TINUVIN 326", "TINUVIN 327", "TINUVIN 328", "TINUVIN 928", "TINUVIN 400", "TINUVIN 460", "TINUVIN 405", and "TINUVIN 477" manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd. Examples of benzotriazole-based light-selective absorbers include "ADK STAB LA31" and "ADK STAB LA36" manufactured by ADEKA Corporation, and "SUMISORB" manufactured by Sumika Chemtex Co., Ltd. 200," "Sumisorb 250," "Sumisorb 300," "Sumisorb 340," and "Sumisorb 350," "Kemisorb 74," "Kemisorb 79," and "Kemisorb 279" manufactured by Chemipro Chemical Co., Ltd., and "TINUVIN 99-2," "TINUVIN 900," and "TINUVIN 928" manufactured by BASF.

[0039] The light-selective absorber (A) may also be an inorganic light-selective absorber. Examples of inorganic light-selective absorbers include titanium oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, tin oxide, talc, kaolin, calcium carbonate, titanium oxide-based composite oxides, zinc oxide-based composite oxides, ITO (tin-doped indium oxide), and ATO (antimony-doped tin oxide). Titanium oxide-based composite oxides Examples of such inorganic light-selective absorbers include zinc oxide doped with silica or alumina. These inorganic light-selective absorbers can be used alone or in combination of two or more. An organic light-selective absorber and an inorganic light-selective absorber may also be used in combination.

[0040] The light-selective absorber containing a compound having an absorption maximum at a wavelength of around 405 nm (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as light-selective absorber (B)) is preferably a compound satisfying the following formula (5), and more preferably a compound satisfying the following formula (6). ε(405)≧20 (5) (In equation (5), ε(405) represents the gram absorption coefficient of the compound at a wavelength of 405 nm. The unit of the gram absorption coefficient is L / (g cm).) ε(405) / ε(440)≧20 (6) [In formula (6), ε(405) represents the gram absorption coefficient of the compound at a wavelength of 405 nm, and ε(440) represents the gram absorption coefficient at a wavelength of 440 nm.] The gram absorbance coefficient is measured by the method described in the Examples.

[0041] The larger the ε(405) value of a compound, the more easily it absorbs light with a wavelength of 405 nm, and the more it suppresses deterioration of optical laminates and image display devices due to ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light. If the ε(405) value is less than 20 L / (g·cm), the function of suppressing deterioration of retardation films and organic EL light-emitting devices due to ultraviolet light or short-wavelength visible light tends to be difficult to achieve unless the content of the photoselective absorber (B) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is increased. The ε(405) value is preferably 20 L / (g·cm) or more, more preferably 30 L / (g·cm) or more, even more preferably 40 L / (g·cm) or more, and is usually 500 L / (g·cm) or less.

[0042] A compound with a larger value of ε(405) / ε(440) can absorb light around 405 nm without impairing the color expression of an image display device, and can suppress photodegradation of displays such as retardation films and organic EL elements. The value of ε(405) / ε(440) is preferably 20 or more, more preferably 40 or more, even more preferably 70 or more, and particularly preferably 80 or more.

[0043] The compound that selectively absorbs light with a wavelength of 405 nm is preferably a compound containing a merocyanine structure in the molecule. The molecular weight of the compound containing a merocyanine structure in the molecule is preferably 100 or more and 3000 or less. Examples of compounds containing a merocyanine structure in the molecule include compounds that contain a partial structure represented by -(NC=CC=C)- in the molecule, such as merocyanine compounds, cyanine compounds, indole compounds, and benzotriazole compounds. Merocyanine compounds, cyanine compounds, and benzotriazole compounds are preferred, and compounds represented by formula (I) are more preferred.

In the optical laminate of the present invention, the intermediate layer 300 interposed between the polarizer 10 and the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 has the effect of suppressing the migration of the light-selective absorber contained in the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 20 to the polarizer 10. However, the intermediate layer 300 has a configuration including only one or more layers selected from the group consisting of a liquid crystal cured layer, an alignment layer, and an attachment layer, and is not configured to completely block the transmission of the light-selective absorber, so the suppression effect is insufficient. In the optical laminate of the present invention, color fading at the edge of the polarizer under high temperature and high humidity conditions can be suppressed by adjusting the absorbance of the light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0130] The thickness of the intermediate layer 300 is not limited, but is, for example, 1 μm or more and 200 μm or less, and from the viewpoint of suppressing migration of the light-selective absorbent contained in the light-selective absorbent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is preferably 5 μm or more and 200 μm or less.

[0134] The retardation layer preferably has reverse wavelength dispersion. Reverse wavelength dispersion is an optical property in which the in-plane retardation value of liquid crystal alignment at a short wavelength is smaller than the in-plane retardation value of liquid crystal alignment at a long wavelength, and preferably the retardation layer satisfies the following formulas (7) and (8). Here, Re(λ) represents the in-plane retardation value for light with a wavelength of λ nm. Re(450) / Re(550)≦1 (7) 1≦Re(630) / Re(550) (8) In the optical laminate of the present invention, when the retardation layer is in the first form and has reverse wavelength dispersion, coloration during black display on a display device is reduced, which is preferable, and in the formula (7), 0.82≦Re(450) / Re(550)≦0.93 is more preferable, and 120≦Re(550)≦150 is even more preferable.

When the optical laminate 101 shown in FIG. 2 includes a first liquid crystal cured layer 30 and a second liquid crystal cured layer 31, the first liquid crystal cured layer 30 and the second liquid crystal cured layer 31 can be combined with a λ / 2 retardation layer and a λ / 4 retardation layer, or a λ / 4 retardation layer and a positive C plate. A combination of layers may be used.

[0138] The optical laminate of the present invention may be configured as a circular polarizer having a λ / 4 retardation layer, and the circular polarizer can be used as an anti-reflection polarizer.

[0139] [Alignment layer] The alignment layer has an alignment control force that aligns the liquid crystal compound contained in the liquid crystal cured layer formed on the alignment layer in a desired direction. Examples of the alignment layer include an alignment polymer layer formed from an alignment polymer, a photo-aligned polymer layer formed from a photo-aligned polymer, and a groove alignment layer having a concavo-convex pattern or multiple grooves on the layer surface. The thickness of the alignment layer is usually 0.01 to 10 μm, and preferably 0.01 to 5 μm.

[0140] The oriented polymer layer can be formed by applying a composition in which an oriented polymer is dissolved in a solvent to a substrate layer, removing the solvent, and optionally performing a rubbing treatment. In this case, the orientation control force of the oriented polymer layer formed from the oriented polymer can be adjusted arbitrarily by changing the surface condition of the oriented polymer and the rubbing conditions.

[0155] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these. "%" and "parts" in the examples and comparative examples are "% by mass" and "parts by mass" unless otherwise specified.

[0156] [Preparation of single-sided protected polarizing plate] (Fabrication of polarizer) A polyvinyl alcohol film with a thickness of 20 μm, a degree of polymerization of 2400, and a degree of saponification of 99% or more was uniaxially stretched to a stretching ratio of 4.1 times on a heated roll, and while maintaining tension, it was immersed for 60 seconds at 28°C in a dye bath containing 0.05 parts by weight of iodine and 5 parts by weight of potassium iodide per 100 parts by weight of water.

[0157] The film was then immersed in boric acid aqueous solution 1, which contained 5.5 parts by weight of boric acid and 15 parts by weight of potassium iodide per 100 parts by weight of water, at 64°C for 110 seconds. The film was then immersed in boric acid aqueous solution 2, which contained 5.5 parts by weight of boric acid and 15 parts by weight of potassium iodide per 100 parts by weight of water, at 67°C for 30 seconds. The film was then washed with pure water at 10°C and dried to obtain a polarizer. The resulting polarizer had a thickness of 8 μm and a boron content of 4.3 wt%.

[0158] (Adjustment of water-based adhesive) A water-based adhesive was prepared by dissolving 3 parts by mass of carboxyl-modified polyvinyl alcohol (Kuraray Co., Ltd., product name "KL-318") in 100 parts by weight of water, and adding 1.5 parts by mass of a polyamide epoxy additive, which is a water-soluble epoxy resin (Taoka Chemical Co., Ltd., product name "Sumirez Resin (registered trademark) 650 (30)", an aqueous solution with a solids concentration of 30 wt%).

[0159] (Protective film A and release film B) As the protective film A, a film (manufactured by Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd., product name "COP25ST-HC") was used, in which a hard coat layer having a thickness of 3 μm was formed on a stretched film made of a norbornene-based resin having a thickness of 25 μm. A triacetyl cellulose film (manufactured by Fujifilm Corporation, "TD80UL") was used as release film B. The release film had a thickness of 80 μm and a moisture permeability of 502 g / m2·24 hr.

[0160] (Preparation of single-sided protective polarizing plate) The produced polarizer was continuously transported, and protective film A was continuously unwound from the roll of protective film A, and release film B was continuously unwound from the roll of release film B. A water-based adhesive was injected between the polarizer and the corona-treated protective film A, and Pure water was poured between the polarizer and release film B, and the film was passed through a lamination roll to obtain a laminated film consisting of protective film A / water-based adhesive / polarizer / pure water / release film B. The laminated film was transported and subjected to a heat treatment at 80°C for 300 seconds in a drying oven to dry the water-based adhesive and volatilize and remove the pure water interposed between the polarizer and release film B, thereby obtaining a single-sided protected polarizing plate with a release film. Release film B was peeled off from the single-sided protected polarizing plate with a release film to obtain a single-sided protected polarizing plate.

[0161] [Preparation of retardation laminate] (Preparation of "Alignment layer / First liquid crystal curing layer") A λ / 4 retardation layer (first liquid crystal cured layer) was prepared, which was an alignment layer and a layer of cured nematic liquid crystal compound formed on a substrate film. The total thickness of the "alignment layer / first liquid crystal cured layer" was 2 μm.

[0162] (Fabrication of "Alignment layer / second liquid crystal cured layer") As a composition for forming the alignment layer, 10.0 parts by mass of polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate (A-600, manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.), 10.0 parts by mass of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (A-TMPT, manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.), 10.0 parts by mass of 1,6-hexanediol di(meth)acrylate (A-HD-N, manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.), and 1.50 parts by mass of Irgacure 907 (Irg-907, manufactured by BASF) as a photopolymerization initiator were dissolved in 70.0 parts by mass of methyl ethyl ketone solvent to prepare a coating liquid for forming the alignment layer.

[0163] A 20 μm thick long cyclic olefin resin (COP) film (manufactured by Zeon Corporation) was prepared as a substrate film, and the coating liquid for forming an alignment layer was applied to one side of the substrate film using a bar coater.

[0164] After the coating, the coating layer was heat treated at 80°C for 60 seconds, and then exposed to ultraviolet light (UVB) at 220 mJ / cm 2 The composition for forming the alignment layer was polymerized and cured by irradiation, forming an alignment layer having a thickness of 2.3 μm on the substrate film.

[0165] As a composition for forming the retardation layer, 20.0 parts by mass of a photopolymerizable nematic liquid crystal compound (RMM28B, manufactured by Merck) and 1.0 part by mass of Irgacure 907 (Irg-907, manufactured by BASF) as a photopolymerization initiator were dissolved in 80.0 parts by mass of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate solvent to prepare a coating liquid for forming the retardation layer.

[0166] A coating liquid for forming a retardation layer was applied onto the previously obtained alignment layer, and the coating layer was subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of 80°C for 60 seconds. Thereafter, ultraviolet rays (UVB) were applied at 220 mJ / cm 2 The retardation layer was polymerized and cured by irradiation to form a retardation layer (cured second liquid crystal layer) having a thickness of 0.7 μm on the alignment layer. In this way, an "alignment layer / cured second liquid crystal layer" having a total thickness of 3 μm was obtained on the substrate film.

[0167] (Preparation of Retardation Laminate) The "alignment layer / first liquid crystal cured layer" laminated on the substrate film and the "alignment layer / second liquid crystal cured layer" laminated on the substrate film were bonded together using a UV-curable adhesive (thickness 1 μm) so that the surfaces of the respective liquid crystal cured layers (the surfaces opposite to the substrate film) became the bonding surfaces. Next, the UV-curable adhesive was cured by irradiating it with UV light to produce a retardation laminate including two liquid crystal cured layers, the first liquid crystal cured layer and the second liquid crystal cured layer.

[0168] [Preparation of photoselective absorption adhesive layer] (Preparation of acrylic resin (A-1)) A reaction vessel equipped with a condenser, nitrogen inlet, thermometer, and stirrer was charged with a mixture of 86.4 parts ethyl acetate, 61.9 parts butyl acrylate, and 1.9 parts 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate as the solvent. The air in the vessel was purged with nitrogen gas to remove oxygen, and the internal temperature was raised to 60°C. A solution of 0.4 parts azobisisobutyronitrile (polymerization initiator) in 10 parts ethyl acetate was then added in its entirety. The resulting mixture was held at 60°C for 1 hour, and then ethyl acetate was continuously added to the reaction vessel at a rate of 17.3 parts / hr while maintaining the internal temperature at 50-70°C. When the acrylic resin concentration reached 35%, the ethyl acetate addition was stopped. The reaction was maintained at this temperature for 12 hours. Finally, ethyl acetate was added to adjust the acrylic resin concentration to 20%, preparing an acrylic resin-ethyl acetate solution. The resulting acrylic resin had a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 600,000 (as measured by GPC) in terms of polystyrene, and an Mw / Mn ratio of 7.0. This was designated acrylic resin (A-1). The glass transition temperature measured by DSC was −52.9° C.

[0142] of JP 2019-007001 A were mixed, and 2-butanone was added to obtain a solids concentration of 14%, thereby obtaining a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (1). The amount of the crosslinker (Coronate L) is expressed in parts by mass as the active ingredient. [ka]

[0170] The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition (1) prepared above was applied to the release-treated surface of a release-treated polyethylene terephthalate film (SP-PLR382050 manufactured by Lintec Corporation, hereinafter abbreviated as "separator") using an applicator so that the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer after drying would be 17 μm, and the applied film was dried at 100°C for 1 minute to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The resulting pressure-sensitive adhesive layer was designated pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (1). Table 1 shows the content of the light-selective absorber per unit area of ​​the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (1).

[0171] (Preparation of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Layer (2)) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (2) was produced in the same manner as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (1), except that the amount of the light-selective absorber was 3.7 parts. Table 1 shows the content of the light-selective absorber per unit area of ​​the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (2).

[0172] (Preparation of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Layer (3)) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (3) was produced in the same manner as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (1), except that the amount of the light-selective absorber was 5.4 parts. Table 1 shows the content of the light-selective absorber per unit area of ​​the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (3).

[0173] [Preparation of second adhesive layer] The ethyl acetate solution of the acrylic resin (A-1) (resin concentration: 20%) was mixed with 0.5 parts of a crosslinking agent (Coronate L, solid content 75%: manufactured by Tosoh) and 0.5 parts of a silane compound (KBM-403 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), and further mixed with 2-butanone to make the solid content concentration 14%. The amount of the crosslinking agent (Coronate L) added is the number of parts by mass as the active ingredient.

[0174] The adhesive composition was applied to the release-treated surface of the separator used to prepare the photoselectively absorbing adhesive layer using an applicator so that the adhesive layer would have a thickness of 5 μm after drying, and then dried at 100°C for 1 minute to prepare a second adhesive layer.

[0175] [Preparation of optical laminate] (Examples 1 and 3) A second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer was attached to the polarizer side of the prepared single-sided protected polarizing plate, and the separator was peeled off. The surface of the prepared retardation laminate, exposed by peeling off the substrate film on the first liquid crystal cured layer side, was attached to the surface from which the separator had been peeled off. The substrate film on the second liquid crystal cured layer side was then peeled off, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer listed in Table 1 was attached as a photoselectively absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the surface of the alignment layer on the second liquid crystal cured layer side, to obtain an optical laminate with a layer structure of "protective film A / water-based adhesive / polarizer / second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / alignment layer / first liquid crystal cured layer / second liquid crystal cured layer / alignment layer / photoselectively absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / separator." In this optical laminate, the intermediate layer had a layer structure of "second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / alignment layer / first liquid crystal cured layer / second liquid crystal cured layer / alignment layer," and the total thickness was 11 μm.

[0176] In the above, the adhesive layer was applied using an applicator to a thickness of 5 μm, and dried at 100°C for 1 minute to prepare a second adhesive layer. The total thickness of the "alignment layer / first liquid crystal cured layer" was 2 μm. The total thickness of the "alignment layer / second liquid crystal cured layer" was 3 μm. The thickness of the ultraviolet-curable adhesive was 1 μm.

[0177] (Examples 2 and 4, and Comparative Example 1) A second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer was attached to the polarizer side of the prepared single-sided protected polarizing plate, and the separator was peeled off. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer described in Table 1 was attached as a light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer from which the separator had been peeled off, to obtain an optical laminate with a layer structure of "protective film A / water-based adhesive / polarizer / second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / light-selective absorbing pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / separator." In this optical laminate, the intermediate layer consisted of the "second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer" and had a thickness of 5 μm.

[0178] In the above, the adhesive layer was applied using an applicator so as to have a thickness of 5 μm, and dried at 100° C. for 1 minute to prepare a second adhesive layer.

[0179] [Measurement of absorbance of adhesive layer] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layers (1) to (3) were each attached to glass, and the separator was peeled off. A cycloolefin polymer (COP) film (ZF-14, manufactured by Zeon Corporation) was then attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to prepare a laminate for pressure-sensitive adhesive layer evaluation. The laminate for pressure-sensitive adhesive layer evaluation was set in a UV-2450 spectrophotometer (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), and the absorbance was measured in a wavelength range of 300 to 800 nm in 1 nm steps using the double beam method. The absorbance at a wavelength of 410 nm of the prepared pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is shown in Table 1. The absorbance of both the glass and the COP film at a wavelength of 410 nm was zero.

[0180] [Measurement of weight average molecular weight (Mw)] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the acrylic resin (A-1) was determined as the polystyrene-equivalent number-average molecular weight (Mn) by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using tetrahydrofuran as the mobile phase. The (meth)acrylic polymer to be measured was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran at a concentration of approximately 0.05% by mass, and 10 μL was injected into the SEC. The mobile phase was run at a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. The column used was PLgel MIXED-B (manufactured by Polymer Laboratories). The detector was a UV-VIS detector (trade name: Ag Illuminant GPC was used.

[0181] [Boron content measurement] 0.2 g of polarizer was dissolved in 200 g of a 1.9 wt% mannitol aqueous solution. The resulting solution was titrated with a 1 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution, and the boron content of the polarizer was calculated by comparing the amount of NaOH solution required for neutralization with the calibration curve.

[0182] [Moisture and heat resistance test and color fading observation] The separators of the optical laminates obtained in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1 were peeled off, and the laminates were attached to alkali-free glass plates. The laminates were then left for 500 hours in an environment of 65°C and 90% RH. A polarizing plate was then attached to the alkali-free glass surface opposite the tested optical laminate in a crossed-Nicols relationship. The laminates were then observed with an optical microscope, and the observed images were saved. The optical microscope used was a "VHX-500" manufactured by Keyence Corporation. Figure 4 shows an example of an image observed with the optical microscope. In Figure 4, when the optical laminate was observed from an edge 50 of the optical laminate inward along the line indicated by the arrow (the line extending perpendicularly from the edge 50), it was found that there was a decolorized region 51 and a region where decolorization had not occurred (non-decolorized region) 52.

[0183] [Measurement of color loss using image processing] The images observed under the microscope were converted to black and white in 256 gradations (0-255) using the image analysis software "ImageJ (free software)." The conversion to black and white in 256 gradations (0-255) was performed by averaging the RGB values. Figure 5 shows an example of the converted data. The midpoint (the middle of the decolorization gradation) between the decolorized region 51 and the non-decolorized region 52 in the gradation profile in the direction perpendicular to the edge 50 of the optical laminate (arrow in Figure 4) was defined as the decolorized edge of the optical laminate (Figure 5), and the distance (μm) from the edge 50 of the optical laminate to the decolorized edge was measured as the decolorization distance. The decolorization distance of the optical laminate is shown in Table 1. The smaller the decolorization distance, the narrower the decolorization range and the better the humidity and heat resistance.
