[ optical layered body ]
The optical laminate of the present invention is obtained by sequentially laminating a front plate including a base material and n (n is an integer of 2 or more) optical members, wherein the front plate-side surfaces of the n optical members are respectively in contact with each other and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 10 [ mu ] m or more is laminated. In the optical laminate of the present invention, the xth optical component (x is an integer of 1 to n) from the side close to the front panel is referred to as the xth optical component, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more, which is laminated in contact with the front panel-side surface of the xth optical component, is referred to as the xth pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. n is preferably an integer of 6 or less, and more preferably an integer of 4 or less.
Each optical member may be composed of one layer or a plurality of layers. In the present specification, whether an optical member composed of a plurality of layers is a plurality of optical members or a single optical member is determined by the presence or absence of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more. In the present specification, two portions separated by an adhesive layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more are different optical members. Therefore, each optical member may include an adhesive layer having a thickness of less than 10 μm, and on the other hand, may not include an adhesive layer having a thickness of 10 μm or more.
The thickness of the optical laminate of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 50 to 4000 μm, preferably 70 to 2000 μm, and more preferably 100 to 1000 μm, since it varies depending on the functions required for the optical laminate, the application of the optical laminate, and the like.
The optical laminate may have a square shape in plan view, for example, preferably has a square shape having long sides and short sides, and more preferably has a rectangular shape. When the shape of the optical laminate 100 in the plane direction is rectangular, the length of the long side may be, for example, 10mm to 1400mm, and preferably 50mm to 600 mm. The length of the short side is, for example, 5mm to 800mm, preferably 30mm to 500mm, and more preferably 50mm to 300 mm. Each layer constituting the optical laminate 100 may be subjected to R processing on the corners, or to slit processing on the ends, or to hole forming.
The optical laminate can be used for a display device and the like, for example. The display device is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an organic electroluminescence (organic EL) display device, an inorganic electroluminescence (inorganic EL) display device, a liquid crystal display device, and an electroluminescence display device.

The adhesive layers 31, 32, and 33 of items 1 to 3 each have a thickness of 10 μm or more.
In the optical laminate 100, the front panel 10 includes a substrate 11, and further includes a hard coat layer 12 provided on a surface of the substrate 11 on a side opposite to the 1 st optical member 21 side.

< evaluation value of optical laminate A >
The evaluation value a of the optical laminate of the present invention satisfies the following formula (2):
50≤A≤500 (2)。
the evaluation value a is a value calculated by the following expression (1).
In the formula (1), T 0 〔mJ/mm 3 Toughness of the front panel, a 0 Is (thickness of substrate contained in front panel [ μm ]/[ thickness of front panel [ μm ]), T x 〔mJ/mm 3 Toughness of the x-th optical member, a x Is (distance [ μm ] from the surface of the front plate on the side opposite to the optical member side to the surface of the x-th optical member on the front plate side)/(thickness [ μm ] of the x-th optical member described above). In the present specification, toughness refers to a value measured in an environment at a temperature of 23 ℃ and a relative humidity of 55%. The toughness was measured by the method described in the examples described later.
In the optical layered body shown in fig. 1, the evaluation value a is a value calculated by the formula (1 a).
A=T 0 /a 0 +T 1 /a 1 +T 2 /a 2 +T 3 /a 3 (1a)
In the formula (1a), the compound (A),
T 0 〔mJ/mm 3 is the toughness of the front panel 10,
a 0 is (thickness t of base material 11 included in front panel 10) 01 [ mum ]/[ thickness t of front panel 10] 0 〔μm〕),
T 1 〔mJ/mm 3 Is as a1 the toughness of the optical member 21 is,
a 1 is (distance d from the surface of the front panel 10 on the side opposite to the optical member side to the surface of the 1 st optical member 21 on the front panel 10 side) 1 [ μm ]/[ thickness t of 1 st optical member 21 ] 1 〔μm〕),T 2 〔mJ/mm 3 "2" is the toughness of the optical member 22,
a 2 is (distance d from the surface of the front panel 10 on the side opposite to the optical member side to the surface of the 2 nd optical member 22 on the front panel 10 side) 2 [ μm ]/[ thickness t of 2 nd optical member 22 ] 2 〔μm〕),T 3 〔mJ/mm 3 "3" is the toughness of the optical member 23,
a 3 is (distance d from the surface of the front panel 10 on the side opposite to the optical member side to the surface of the 3 rd optical member 23 on the front panel 10 side) 3 [ μm ]/[ thickness t of 3 rd optical member 23 ] 3 〔μm〕)。
The evaluation value a is a value calculated by equation (1) derived based on the result of a preliminary test described later. According to the formula (1): the higher the toughness of the front panel, and the thicker the thickness of the front panel, the larger the value of the evaluation value a. The higher the toughness of the x-th optical member, and the thicker the thickness of the x-th optical member, the larger the value of the evaluation value a. The contribution of toughness and thickness to the evaluation value a is the largest in the front panel, and the contribution is larger in the x-th optical member arranged closer to the front panel because the distance from the front panel brings the denominator of formula (1), that is, the smaller the value of x. Therefore, the evaluation value a can be adjusted by appropriately adjusting the toughness and thickness of the front panel, the toughness and thickness of the xth optical member, the number of optical members (the value of n), the thickness of the adhesive layer, and the like. The toughness of the front panel and the toughness of the xth optical member can be adjusted by adjusting their materials.

A 1L reaction vessel capable of refluxing nitrogen gas and provided with a cooling device for temperature adjustment was charged with 95 parts of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 2 parts of dodecyl acrylate, and 3 parts of 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate. To remove oxygen from the reaction vessel, the internal temperature was maintained at 60 ℃ by purging with nitrogen for 1 hour. After the compounds charged into the reaction vessel were mixed uniformly, 0.5 part of 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone as a photopolymerization initiator was charged and stirred, and a UV lamp (10mW) was irradiated to obtain a (meth) acrylic resin. The weight average molecular weight Mw of the obtained (meth) acrylic resin was 61 ten thousand.
An adhesive was obtained by mixing 100 parts of the (meth) acrylic resin (solid content equivalent) obtained above and 0.3 part of 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenone (solid content equivalent) as a photopolymerization initiator.
The obtained adhesive was applied to the silicone release-treated surface of the 1 st release film, which was a PET film, as a substrate, to a thickness of 25 μm, and the 2 nd release film, which was a PET film, as a substrate, was laminated on the coating layer to prepare a laminate.

[ measurement of toughness ]
The toughness of the optical member was measured in accordance with JIS K7161 as follows. Rectangular chips with a long side of 110mm × a short side of 10mm were cut out from the optical component to be measured by using a super cutter. Then, both ends in the longitudinal direction of the chip were held at a distance of 5cm by upper and lower clamps of a tensile tester (Autograph AG-Xplus tester manufactured by Shimadzu corporation), and the chip was stretched in the longitudinal direction at a stretching speed of 4 mm/min under an environment of 23 ℃ and 55% relative humidity.
