Background technology
Usually,, need to comprise the liquid crystal cells and the light polarizing film of liquid crystal basically, and should use and be used to adhere to above both binder layer or pressure sensitive adhesive layer in order to make liquid-crystal display.In addition, can further phase retardation film, the compensate film that is used for wide visual angle, brightness enhancement film etc. be adhered to light polarizing film, to improve the performance of liquid-crystal display.
Typically, liquid-crystal display comprises evenly distributed liquid crystal layer, comprises light polarizing film, phase retardation film and the other functional film layer of binder layer or pressure sensitive adhesive layer.
Light polarizing film comprises evenly distributed iodine compound or dichroic polarisation material.In order to protect these polarization elements, be used to constitute multilayer such as the protective membrane of tri acetyl cellulose (TAC) etc.Light polarizing film may further include phase retardation film with anisotropic molecule arrangement or compensate film such as the liquid crystal film that is used for wide visual angle.
Above-mentioned film is made by the material that has different molecular structures and form, so have different physicalies.Particularly, under high temperature and/or humidity condition, not enough according to the contraction or the expansible dimensional stability of material with anisotropic molecule arrangement.Consequently, if light polarizing film fixes by pressure sensitive adhesive, then the caused shear-stress of contraction or expansion by light polarizing film under high temperature and/or humidity condition is held, and light leakage phenomena occurs in the zone of stress concentration thus.
In order to improve light leakage phenomena, need to reduce the contraction of light polarizing film under high temperature and/or humidity condition.Yet the stress that the accompanying liquid crystal board of being made up of the material with different physical characteristics of light polarizing film produces is to be difficult to remove.The other method of improving light leakage phenomena is to provide the stress relief function to pressure sensitive adhesive layer, so that polarizer is fixed on the liquid crystal board.Usually, rubber, acrylic acid series (acryls) and organosilicon usually are used as pressure sensitive adhesive.Wherein, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is being favourable aspect pressure sensitive adhesive performance, optical property, weather resistance and the weathering resistance, therefore, has been widely used in and has made the contact adhesive composition that is used for polarizer.
Provide the universal design of stress relief function to be to pressure sensitive adhesive layer, the design pressure sensitive adhesive layer makes it have big creep property and dimensional instability.Its exemplary process is, mix with high-molecular weight polymer so that it can react with multi-functional linking agent by the low-molecular weight polymer that will have or not have insignificant functional group, the contact adhesive composition with weather resistance and stress relief function is provided with crosslinking functionality.
For example, Korean Patent spy opens the 1998-079266 plan by providing the stress relief function to solve light leakage phenomena to contact adhesive composition, described contact adhesive composition comprises that the weight-average molecular weight of 100 weight parts is 1,000,000 or the weight-average molecular weight of higher high-molecular-weight propylene acid based copolymer, 20-200 weight part be 30,000 or the lower low molecular weight propylene acid based copolymer and the multifunctional linking agent of 0.005-5 weight part.
The Japanese Patent spy opens 200247468 plans provides the stress relief function to the contact adhesive composition that is used for light polarizing film, described contact adhesive composition comprises that the weight-average molecular weight of 100 weight parts is 800,000~2,000, the weight-average molecular weight of 000 high-molecular-weight propylene acid based copolymer, 5~50 weight parts is 50,000 or lower low molecular weight propylene acid based copolymer (not having functional group (dispersity=1.0~2.5)), linking agent and silane compound.
In addition, the Japanese Patent spy opens the 2003-49141 plan by providing the stress relief function to solve light leakage phenomena to the contact adhesive composition that is used for light polarizing film, described contact adhesive composition comprises that weight average molecular weight range is 1,000,000~2,000,000 and have a high-molecular-weight propylene acid based copolymer of functional group, weight average molecular weight range is 30,000~300,000 and have an intermediate molecular weight acrylic copolymer that is less than two kinds of functional groups, weight average molecular weight range is 1,000~20,000 and do not have a low molecular weight propylene acid copolymer (dispersity=1.0~2.5) of functional group, and linking agent.
Above-mentioned reference utilisation technology feature is softened final pressure sensitive adhesive, to improve the stress releasing property of described pressure sensitive adhesive.Promptly, described pressure sensitive adhesive is designed to, by increase creep property and make more easy with respect to the distortion of external stress, thereby discharge the local stress that contraction or expansion caused, because the low molecular weight material that the modulus of pressure sensitive adhesive (modulus) is passed through to be added reduces by polarizer.But, preparing in the situation of remollescent pressure sensitive adhesive by adding low molecular weight material, the modulus of final pressure sensitive adhesive is reduced.So this pressure sensitive adhesive may have some problems, when polarizer stores with volume type (role type) in preparation process, its may be crushed easily (pit defect); And in the situation of cutting pressure sensitive adhesive, this pressure sensitive adhesive may be given prominence to from the cross section of polarizer, and perhaps polarizer may be contaminated by outstanding pressure sensitive adhesive.Equally, the weather resistance of pressure sensitive adhesive may reduce under high temperature and humidity condition, because the low molecular weight material that is added can easily be moved in the glass interface of liquid crystal board and TAC.
Provide the another kind of method of stress relief function to be to pressure sensitive adhesive, will keep very low by the gel content of the prepared final pressure sensitive adhesive of the macromolecular material with crosslinking functionality.This method has the modulus of pressure sensitive adhesive can significantly reduced advantage.Yet this method also has some shortcomings, is difficult to make pressure sensitive adhesive to keep uniform low-gel content; Need the long time of cost from crosslinked pressure sensitive adhesive up to cutting polarizer (digestion time), under the condition of high temperature and high humidity, significantly reduce its weather resistance.
The Japanese Patent spy opens the method that 60-207101 discloses a kind of duplication of production pressure sensitive adhesive, and this pressure sensitive adhesive has low-gel content and comprises high molecular weight material.The patent disclosure of this publication a kind of method that is used to prepare pressure sensitive adhesive, this method is mixed by the acrylic copolymer (A) that will have crosslinkable functionality, the acrylic copolymer (B) that does not have crosslinkable functionality and multifunctional linking agent with at least two functional groups and is prepared pressure sensitive adhesive, wherein, the weight ratio of A/B is in 1/4~4/1 scope.That is, the patent disclosure of this publication following technical characterictic: by removing free crosslinkable functionality, the preservation period that can prolong described pressure sensitive adhesive; Remove the free crosslinkable functionality by the amount that during cross-linking process, the multifunctional linking agent of respective amount is increased to crosslinkable functionality.Yet this patent does not have the open wherein molecular weight parameter of employed acrylic acid polymer, does not disclose the technical characterictic of crosslinking structure yet.Particularly, this patent does not have the technical characterictic of the stress releasing property of openly relevant with light leakage phenomena pressure sensitive adhesive.
Therefore, need a kind of light polarizing film that is used for the new type bonding agent of light polarizing film and uses this tackiness agent of exploitation, minimize by the minimizing that makes final pressure sensitive adhesive modulus, and do not damage the main characteristic of light polarizing film product, for example in life-time service and weather resistance and reliability under high temperature and humidity condition, improve light leakage phenomena and prevent that the operability of polarizer from reducing.
