Description

  The present invention improves the visibility by improving the contrast in a bright place, prevents the emission luminance from decreasing due to ultraviolet rays from the outside and the fading of the emission color, and improves the stability and durability during repeated use. The present invention relates to an excellent resin composition for an organic EL device. Specifically, the present invention relates to a resin composition capable of forming a resin layer excellent not only in adhesion to an adherend, heat resistance, heat and humidity resistance and transparency but also in ultraviolet shielding ability, and a laminate formed using the same About the body.

  Conventionally, an electroluminescence element (hereinafter abbreviated as “EL element”) is self-luminous and has high visibility, and since it is a completely solid element, it has excellent impact resistance and is easy to handle. Therefore, the use as a light emitting element in various display devices has attracted attention. There are two types of EL elements: inorganic EL elements that use inorganic substances as light-emitting materials and organic EL elements that use organic substances. Among these, organic EL elements can be used practically because the applied voltage can be significantly reduced. Chemical research is being actively conducted.

  An EL element using an organic substance (hereinafter abbreviated as “organic EL element”) is expected to be used as an inexpensive large-area full-color display element of a solid light emitting type and has been developed in many ways. In general, an EL is composed of a light emitting layer and a pair of counter electrodes sandwiching the layer. In light emission, when an electric field is applied between both electrodes, electrons are injected from the cathode side and holes are injected from the anode side. Furthermore, this electron is recombined with holes in the light emitting layer, and energy is emitted as light when the energy level returns from the conduction band to the valence band.

Conventional organic EL elements have a higher driving voltage and lower light emission luminance and light emission efficiency than inorganic EL elements. Further, the characteristic deterioration has been remarkably not put into practical use. In recent years, an organic EL element in which a thin film containing an organic compound having a high luminous efficiency that emits light at a low voltage of 10 V or less has been reported and has attracted attention (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).
In this method, a metal chelate complex is used as a phosphor layer and an amine compound is used as a hole injection layer to obtain high luminance green light emission. The luminance is 100 cd / m ² at a direct current voltage of 6 to 7 V, maximum The luminous efficiency is 1.5 lm / W, and the performance is close to the practical range. When such an organic EL element is put into practical use, it is desirable to arrange not only a single color but also three primary colors such as red, green, and blue, and white, and conventionally, research has been made on light emitting materials for each color.

  The structure of the organic EL element is an element in which a single layer or a multilayer organic thin film is formed between the anode and the cathode. In the case of a single layer type, a light emitting layer is provided between the anode and the cathode. The multilayer type is a multilayer of (anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / cathode), (anode / light emitting layer / electron injection layer / cathode), and (anode / hole injection layer / light emitting layer / electron injection layer / cathode). There are those stacked by configuration. However, although the organic EL elements up to now have improved light emission intensity due to the improvement of the structure, they react to light from the outside, so that the light emitting elements are not suitable under illumination such as fluorescent lamps or sunlight. The visibility of whether it is lit is reduced. That is, in a normal use environment, even when the light emitting element is not lit, the light emitting layer is excited by light from the outside, and it is inevitable that the ratio of brightness at the time of original lighting and non-lighting decreases, There arises a problem that the contrast in the bright place is lowered and the display quality is deteriorated.

  Furthermore, when a combination of such multilayer structures of organic EL elements is exposed for a long time to external ultraviolet rays, particularly invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays having a wavelength of 290 nm to 400 nm of sunlight, light is emitted. The light emitting material in the layer and the organic material in the hole injecting layer and the hole transporting layer are deteriorated, causing light emission fading and light emission luminance reduction. This phenomenon has a problem that predetermined brightness and emission color cannot be obtained by exposure with natural light for a long period of time, and has a great problem that stability during repeated use is inferior.

  As described above, in order to develop an organic EL device having excellent stability and durability during repeated use, and having better visibility, it is essential to provide an ultraviolet shielding ability with a wavelength of 400 nm or less. In order to solve these problems, various configurations have been proposed.

  For example, it is known to improve light resistance by adding a benzotriazole-based, benzoxazine-based, salicylic acid ester-based, diphenylmethanone-based, 2-cyanopropenoic acid ester-based ultraviolet absorber to paints and various resins. (For example, refer patent documents 1-9.).

  However, although the ultraviolet shielding agent used for these has sufficient shielding ability with respect to a wavelength of 380 nm or less, the ultraviolet shielding agent itself, which influences the durability of the organic EL element when used for a long period of time, is yellow. There is a problem of coloring. In addition, it is transparent, but there is also a problem that the shielding agent itself deteriorates, and if the amount used is small, the UV blocking effect is insufficient, and if it is large, the problem of migration cannot be avoided, so it is not possible to use it repeatedly. At present, no organic EL element having excellent visibility and durability and good visibility has been obtained.

On the other hand, the flat panel display (FPD) using an optical device represented by such an organic EL element has a function of suppressing reflected light directly such as reduction of reflection on the surface and anti-glare, and suppression of reflection. Therefore, it is required to increase the transmittance of light indirectly by increasing the transmittance of light.
Normally, when light is incident on the surface of a transparent optical substrate such as an optical glass substrate (refractive index: about 1.52) or an optical polyethylene terephthalate film (optical PET film) (refractive index: about 1.60) A part of the light is reflected at the surface, and the surface reflectance is about 4% in the case of glass. When these optical glass and optical PET film are bonded together using a pressure sensitive adhesive composition, a low refractive index resin such as an acrylic resin (refractive index: about 1,46), which is widely used for pressure sensitive adhesive compositions, is used. While being used, by reducing the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to about 0.1 to 0.2 μm corresponding to a quarter of the wavelength of visible light, reflection of transmitted light is reduced and transmittance is improved. A method is conceivable. Alternatively, by blending ultrafine particles of a high refractive index inorganic material such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, selenium oxide, tantalum oxide or niobium oxide with a low refractive index resin such as acrylic resin (refractive index: about 1,46). By controlling the refractive index of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to 1.52-1.60 and reducing the difference in refractive index with optical glass or optical PET film, the reflection of transmitted light is reduced and the transmittance is improved. The method to make it is considered theoretically.
However, since the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer becomes thinner in the former, floating occurs due to a decrease in initial adhesion (tack), and it tends to peel off especially when stored for a certain period of time under high temperature or high humidity. In other words, the balance between adhesive physical properties and refractive index cannot be maintained well, and it has not been specifically realized as a pressure-sensitive adhesive. In the latter case, since a low refractive index resin and a high refractive index inorganic material are contained, haze such as fogging and haze is likely to occur, and there is a problem of reducing image contrast and visibility in an optical member. However, there is still a problem in improving the light extraction efficiency as an FPD using an optical device typified by an organic EL element.

  Under such circumstances, the present invention is a pressure-sensitive adhesive for an organic EL device, which improves visibility by improving contrast in a bright place, and reduces emission luminance due to ultraviolet rays from the outside. It is intended to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive for organic EL elements that can prevent fading of light emission color and has excellent stability and durability during repeated use and can form an organic EL element with high light extraction efficiency. .

The inventors of the present invention have arrived at the present invention as a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems.
That is, the first invention is a polyester-based resin (D) having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in the side chain having a glass transition temperature in the range of −80 to 0 ° C., and an average particle diameter of 0.1 nm to 100 nm. UV-blocking pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprising UV-blocking particles (E) and a reactive compound (F) capable of reacting with hydroxyl groups and / or carboxyl groups in the resin (D) .

  Moreover, 2nd invention is 0.1-40.0 weight part of ultraviolet-blocking particle | grains (E) with respect to 100 weight part of polyester-type resin (D) which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in a side chain, and reactivity. The ultraviolet light blocking pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the first invention, characterized by containing 0.001 to 20 parts by weight of the compound (F).

  Further, in the third invention, the polyester resin (D) having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in the side chain comprises a dibasic acid component (A) having no hydroxyl group and a diol (B) having no carboxyl group. A trihydric or higher polyhydric alcohol (c1), a trivalent or higher polyhydric carboxylic acid (c2), a compound having two cyclic ether groups in the molecule (c3), two hydroxyl groups and a carboxyl group in one molecule For introducing at least one side chain functional group selected from the group consisting of dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) having one or more and oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) having two carboxyl groups and one or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule. The ultraviolet-blocking pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to the first or second invention, which is a polyester resin (D1) obtained by reacting the component (C).

  Moreover, 4th invention is the polyester resin (D) which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in a side chain, and the said side chain functional in the polyester resin (D1) which has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in a side chain. A polyester resin (D2) having a ring-opening portion of the cyclic ester compound (G) as a side chain and having a hydroxyl group at the terminal of the ring-opening portion. It is related with the ultraviolet-blocking pressure-sensitive-type adhesive composition as described in 3rd invention characterized by these.

  The fifth invention is characterized in that the reactive compound (F) has two or more functional groups per molecule capable of reacting with the side chain functional group in the polyester resin (D). The present invention relates to an ultraviolet blocking pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to any one of the fourth inventions.

  Moreover, 6th invention is related with the laminated body by which an optical member is laminated | stacked on the pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed from the pressure sensitive adhesive composition in any one of 1st thru | or 5th invention.

  Further, according to a seventh invention, a glass member for organic electroluminescence, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to any one of the first to fifth inventions, and an optical member are sequentially laminated. The present invention relates to a member for an organic electroluminescence cell.

  By using the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention, it is possible to improve visibility especially by improving contrast in a bright place, and to prevent a decrease in emission luminance and fading of emission color due to ultraviolet rays from the outside, It has become possible to provide an optical member for an organic EL element that is excellent in stability and durability during repeated use and has a high light extraction efficiency.

  The polyester resin (D) used in the present invention has a glass transition temperature of −80 to 0 ° C. and has a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group in the side chain. The hydroxyl group and / or carboxyl group of the side chain reacts with the reactive compound (F) described later to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. It is important that the polyester resin (D) for the pressure-sensitive adhesive has a functional group such as a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group not only at the end of the main chain but also at the side chain.

The pressure sensitive adhesive is used to form a pressure sensitive adhesive sheet.
The basic laminate structure of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is a sheet-like substrate / pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / single-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet such as a release sheet, or a release sheet / pressure-sensitive adhesive layer / sheet-like substrate / pressure-sensitive type. It is a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet such as an adhesive layer / release sheet. At the time of use, the release sheet is peeled off, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached to the adherend. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is not only a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has a tack at the moment when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer touches the adherend but also an adhesive other than the pressure-sensitive adhesive (hereinafter simply referred to as a pressure-sensitive adhesive). Unlike adhesives), it is necessary to have a cohesive force for maintaining the sticking state while having a tack and appropriate hardness without being completely solidified even during sticking. The cohesive force greatly depends on the molecular weight.

Since the polyester resin is formed by polycondensation, it is practically impossible to form a resin having a molecular weight exceeding hundreds of thousands. In the case of a polyester resin, if the condensation and decomposition reach an equilibrium state, the molecular weight will no longer increase, and if the reaction conditions are changed and further condensation is attempted, it will compete with deterioration. It is.
A polyester resin produced by polycondensation of a diol component and a dibasic acid component generally has a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group at the end of the main chain. By reacting the hydroxyl group or carboxyl group at the end of the main chain of a polyester resin having a relatively low molecular weight with a relatively large amount of curing agent, it is possible to form an adhesive layer that is completely solidified, but with a relatively high molecular weight. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that needs to have tack and moderate hardness during bonding can be formed by simply reacting the hydroxyl group or carboxyl group at the end of the main chain of a polyester resin with a relatively small amount of curing agent. I couldn't. This is because crosslinking (curing) is sparse and sufficient cohesive force cannot be expressed. In the present invention, an appropriate cross-linked (cured) state can be formed by using a polyester resin (D) having a functional group such as a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group not only at the end of the main chain but also at the side chain. .

The polyester resin (D) having a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group in the side chain can be obtained by various methods.
For example, when a dibasic acid component (A) having no hydroxyl group is reacted with a diol (B) having no carboxyl group to obtain a polyester resin, a trihydric or higher polyhydric alcohol (c1), trivalent The above polyvalent carboxylic acid (c2), compound (c3) having two cyclic ether groups in the molecule, dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) having two hydroxyl groups and one or more carboxyl groups in one molecule, and one By using at least one side chain functional group-introducing component (C) selected from the group consisting of oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) having two carboxyl groups and one or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule, polyester resin (D) A hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group can be introduced into the side chain.

The structure derived from the acid component (a1) is preferably contained in an amount of 5 to 50 mol%, and containing 10 to 35 mol% provides a polyester resin (D) excellent in adhesiveness, heat resistance, moist heat resistance and transparency. Therefore, it is most preferable. When the structure derived from the dibasic acid component (a1) is less than 5 mol% or more than 50 mol%, the adhesion property balance of the polyester resin to be obtained (especially compatibility between tack and cohesive force) should be ensured. In addition, since the heat resistance and heat-and-moisture resistance are reduced, it is difficult to obtain the target resin.

Examples include ether, 1,4-bis {[(3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl) methoxy] methyl} benzene, di {1-ethyl- (3-oxetanyl)} methyl ether, and the like.

  The compound (c3) having two cyclic ether groups in the molecule can be used either alone or in combination at an arbitrary quantitative ratio. When the dibasic acid component (A) and the diol (B) undergo a polycondensation reaction, the cyclic ether group of the compound (c3) having two cyclic ether groups in the molecule undergoes a ring-opening addition reaction to form a side chain. Secondary hydroxyl groups are introduced. Since the secondary hydroxyl group of the side chain has a low activity of the esterification reaction, a three-dimensional reaction is unlikely to occur during the esterification reaction. As a result, the resulting polyester resin (D) is difficult to partially agglomerate, is excellent in uniformity, exhibits good fluidity, and when blended with a reactive compound (F) described later, it feels rich in cohesion after curing. A pressure-sensitive adhesive having a relatively long pot life that can form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be obtained.

In addition, when it has an aromatic ring, what does not directly bond two hydroxyl groups to an aromatic ring is preferable.

  The publicly known dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) used in the present invention can be used alone or in combination at any arbitrary ratio.

Since the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) has two hydroxyl groups, it is polycondensed with the dibasic acid component (A) as an OH component in the same manner as the diol (B) having no carboxyl group, and used in the present invention. A polyester resin (D) is produced. And the carboxyl group derived from dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) becomes a carboxyl group of the side chain of the polyester resin (D).
It is preferable that the two hydroxyl groups in the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) are both primary in that they are rich in activity during the esterification reaction. On the other hand, when the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) functions as a COOH component during the esterification reaction, it easily reacts three-dimensionally during the reaction, easily causes gelation, or the polyester resin (D) does not gel. Even if it is obtained, it tends to agglomerate partially. Therefore, in the esterification reaction, the carboxyl group in the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) is secondary or so that the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) functions exclusively as an OH component and not as a COOH component. It is preferable that it is tertiary. Since the activity of the esterification reaction is low, the dioxycarboxylic acid (c4) can have one or more secondary or tertiary carboxyl groups in one molecule.

  Examples of the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) having two carboxyl groups and one or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule used in the present invention include dihydroxyfumaric acid, dihydroxymaleic acid, 2-hydroxy-2-methylsuccinic acid (also known as , Citramalic acid), 2-hydroxypropane diacid (also known as tartronic acid), 2,2-dihydroxypropane diacid, 2-hydroxypentanedioic acid (also known as 2-hydroxyglutaric acid), 2,3,4-tri Hydroxypentanedioic acid, 2-hydroxybutanedioic acid (also known as malic acid), 2,2-dihydroxybutanedioic acid, 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid (also known as tartaric acid), 3- [2,3-dihydroxy- 3- (pentyloxycarbonyl) propanoyloxy] -2-hydroxybutanedioic acid, 2,3-dihydroxyheptane (Also known as 2,3-dihydroxypimelic acid), 2,4-dihydroxyhexanedioic acid (also known as 2,4-dihydroxyadipic acid), 2,5-dihydroxyoctanedioic acid (also known as 2,5-dihydroxysuberine) Acid), 2,6-dihydroxynonanedioic acid (also known as 2,6-dihydroxyrepargylic acid), 2,7-dihydroxydecanedioic acid (also known as 2,7-dihydroxysebacic acid), 2-hydroxycyclohexane-1 Aliphatic or alicyclic oxydicarboxylic acids such as 1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 3-hydroxycyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid;

  For example, 4-hydroxyphthalic acid, 3,6-dihydroxyphthalic acid, 4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid, 4-hydroxyisophthalic acid, 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 3- Hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (also known as meconic acid), 1-hydroxy-2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 3-hydroxy -2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, (1α, 2β, 4aα, 4bβ, 10β) -2,4a, 7-trihydroxy-1-methyl-8-methylenediva-3-ene-1,10-dicarboxylic acid 1, Aromatic or hetero ring-containing oxydicarboxylic acids such as 4a-lactone (also known as gibberellic acid) are exemplified.

The well-known oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) used for this invention can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more types, respectively.
Since the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) has two carboxyl groups, it is polycondensed with the diol (B) as a COOH component in the same manner as the dibasic acid component (A) having no hydroxyl group, and used in the present invention. A polyester resin (D) is produced. And the hydroxyl group derived from oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) turns into a hydroxyl group of the side chain of a polyester resin (D).
It is preferable that the two carboxyl groups in the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) are both primary in terms of rich activity during the esterification reaction. On the other hand, when the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) functions as an OH component during the esterification reaction, it easily undergoes a three-dimensional reaction during the reaction, and gelation is likely to occur, or the polyester resin (D) is obtained without gelation. Even if it is done, it is easy to partly aggregate. Therefore, in the esterification reaction, the hydroxyl group in the oxydicarboxylic acid (C) is secondary or tertiary so that the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) functions exclusively as a COOH component and not as an OH component. Preferably there is. Since the activity of the esterification reaction is low, the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) can have one or more secondary or tertiary hydroxyl groups in one molecule.
In the case of the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) having an aromatic ring, OH directly bonded to the aromatic ring is preferable in that the activity of the esterification reaction is low, but the reaction activity with the reactive compound (F) is also low. Therefore, the hydroxyl group of the oxydicarboxylic acid (c5) is preferably a secondary or tertiary hydroxyl group that is not directly connected to the aromatic ring.

  The polyester resin (D1) used in the present invention preferably contains 0.1 to 10 mol% of the structure derived from the side chain functional group introduction component (C). That is, the amount of hydroxyl group and / or carboxyl group introduced into the side chain depends on the structure derived from the side chain functional group introduction component (C). The hydroxyl group and / or carboxyl group introduced into the side chain crosslinks with the reactive compound (F) described later to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and contributes to the improvement of cohesive strength, adhesiveness, heat resistance, and moist heat resistance. . However, if there are too many hydroxyl groups and / or carboxyl groups introduced by the side chain functional group-introducing component (C), the pot life will be shortened, while if too little, the cohesive force and adhesion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed will be reduced. , Heat resistance and moist heat resistance are reduced. Therefore, from the balance between the pot life as the pressure-sensitive adhesive and the performance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the structure derived from the side chain functional group introduction component (C) is 0.1 to 0.1 in the polyester resin (D1). It is preferably 10 mol%.

A catalyst may use only 1 type or may use 2 or more types together. The catalyst is used in an amount of 10 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of all reaction components. The range of 0.0001 to 1 part by weight is more preferable. When the amount exceeding 10 parts by weight is used, there arises a disadvantage that the product is colored or a catalyst that has not been deactivated remains and acts as a negative catalyst, causing a decomposition reaction.

The polyester resin (D1) used in the present invention can be produced according to a conventionally known polyester reaction method. For example, it can be obtained by the following method.
(1) One-step reaction: the dibasic acid component (A), the diol (B), and the side chain functional group introduction component (C) are 160 to 260 ° C, preferably 180 to 250 ° C, more preferably 200 to 250. Direct esterification reaction at 0 ° C. After cooling, an organic solvent can be added as appropriate to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
(2) Two-stage reaction: a dibasic acid component (A), a diol (B), and a side chain functional group-introducing component (C) are subjected to dehydration reaction or transesterification at 160 to 260 ° C., preferably 180 to 250 ° C. The reaction is performed, and then the excess diol component is removed by heating to 180 to 280 ° C., preferably 200 to 260 ° C. under a reduced pressure of 5 Torr or less to obtain a polyester resin. After cooling, an organic solvent can be added as appropriate to prepare a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
The component (C) for introducing a side chain functional group may be charged into the reaction vessel from the beginning together with the dibasic acid component (A) and the diol (B), or the dibasic acid component (A) and The reaction may be conducted after the dehydration reaction or transesterification reaction of the diol (B).
Incidentally, when the polymerization temperature is less than the above lower limit, the reaction does not proceed sufficiently. On the other hand, if the polymerization temperature exceeds the upper limit, side reactions such as decomposition may occur or coloring may be easily caused. The reaction time can usually be about 1 to 60 hours.

In the present invention, the cyclic ester compound (G) is further subjected to ring-opening addition to the hydroxyl group or carboxyl group of the side chain introduced using the side chain functional group introduction component (C), and the cyclic ester compound (G) A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can also be obtained by using a polyester resin (D2) having a ring-opened portion as a side chain and a hydroxyl group at the end of the ring-opened portion. When the ring-opening addition of the cyclic ester compound (G), the side chain functional group of the polyester resin (D1) is preferably a hydroxyl group in terms of reactivity. That is, it is preferable to further utilize the side chain hydroxyl group introduced by (c1), (c3) or (c5) in the side chain functional group introduction component (C).
For example, the polyester resin (D1) obtained by the above method (1) or (2) and the cyclic ester compound (G) are mixed together and then reacted together, or the polyester resin (D1). The polyester-based resin (D2) can be obtained by reacting while adding the cyclic ester compound (G) or by adding the polyester resin (D1) to the cyclic ester compound (G). Alternatively, the cyclic ester compound (G) may be added and reacted during the reaction of the polyester resin (D1). The polyester resin (D1) is preferably used in a solution state. For example, the ring-opening addition reaction is preferably performed at 20 to 220 ° C, more preferably 60 to 180 ° C. By opening the cyclic ester compound (G), an ester bond can be introduced into the side chain of the polyester resin (D1). Further, the cyclic ester compound (G) can be further subjected to ring-opening addition to the added hydroxyl group at the end of the ring-opening portion, and the side chain can be lengthened to increase the molecular weight. By introducing an ester bond into the side chain, an improvement in adhesive properties (particularly tack) is expected. The obtained polyester-based resin (D2) can be adjusted for non-volatile content by appropriately adding an organic solvent after cooling.

    As the cyclic ester compound (G) used in the present invention, a cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid can be preferably used.

The cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention is not particularly limited, and intramolecular or intermolecular condensates of aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic hydroxycarboxylic acids can be used. .
Examples of the aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid include glycolic acid, lactic acid, hydroacrylic acid, α-oxybutyric acid, α-hydroxyisobutyric acid, hydroxyvaleric acid, α-hydroxycaproic acid, δ-hydroxycaproic acid, glyceric acid, and tartron. Acid, malic acid, citric acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid, ricinoleic acid, α-hydroxytriacontanoic acid, α-hydroxytetratriacontanoic acid, α-hydroxyhexatriacontanoic acid, α-hydroxyoctatriacontanoic acid, α -Hydroxytetraacontanic acid, hydroxypiparic acid, hydroxypropionic acid, 6-hydroxypentanoic acid, α-hydroxyheptanoic acid, 10-hydroxystearic acid, 12-hydroxystearic acid, 10-hydroxydecanoic acid, 12-hydroxydodecane acid, -Hydroxymistilic acid, 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, 15-hydroxypentadecanoic acid, α-hydroxyeicosanoic acid, α-hydroxydocosanoic acid, α-hydroxytetraeicosanoic acid, α-hydroxyhexaicosanoic acid, α- Examples include hydroxyoctaeicosanoic acid, α-hydroxytriacontanoic acid, β-hydroxymyristic acid, dimethylolpropionic acid, 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylic acid and the like.

  Alicyclic, aromatic and heterocyclic hydroxycarboxylic acids include, for example, salicylic acid, 2-oxybenzoic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-phenylbenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid, 4′-hydroxy-4-carboxybiphenyl, 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, Examples include 5-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid.

  The hydroxycarboxylic acid can be used as long as it has a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group in one molecule of the organic compound, and is not necessarily limited to those exemplified above.

  The cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention is obtained by intramolecular or intermolecular condensation reaction between a hydroxyl group in the hydroxycarboxylic acid and the carboxylic acid in the hydroxycarboxylic acid. That is, it includes cyclic monomers, dimers, or multimers of trimers or more of hydroxycarboxylic acids produced by intramolecular or intermolecular condensation reactions of hydroxycarboxylic acids.

  Of the cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention, a lactone can be used as the cyclic monomer, and there is no particular limitation. For example, β-butyrolactone, β-propiolactone, γ-butyrolactone Γ-valerolactone, δ-valerolactone, ε-caprolactone, γ-caprolactone, γ-heptanolactone, γ-octanolactone, δ-octanolactone, ε-octanolactone, ε-caprolactone glycolide, pivalolactone, 7-heptanolide, 8-octonolide, 11-undecanolide, 12-dodecanolide, 15-pentadecanolide, 16-hexadodecanolide, α-methyl-β-propiolactone, β-methyl-α-propiolactone, α, α -Dimethyl-β-propiolactone and the like.

  Of the cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention, examples of the cyclic dimer include lactide by lactic acid and glycolide by glycolic acid.

  The cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention is not limited in the size of the ring, but in order to efficiently perform a ring-opening addition reaction with the hydroxyl group contained in the polyester resin (D1), Cyclic monomer lactones having 6 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred, and ε-caprolactone is more preferred.

  The cyclic ester (g1) of hydroxycarboxylic acid used in the present invention may be subjected to ring-opening addition in the form of one molecule to the polyester resin (D1) having a side chain hydroxyl group, or a plurality of cyclic esters (g1). As an aspect of the polymer formed by ring-opening polymerization of the molecule, it may be added to the polyester resin (D1).

The polyester resin (D) such as (D1) and (D2) has a glass transition point (Tg) of −80 to 0 ° C. so that it can exhibit well-balanced adhesive properties (particularly, compatibility between tack and cohesive force). The dibasic acid component (A) having no hydroxyl group, the diol (B) having no carboxyl group, the side chain functional group introduction component (C), and the cyclic ester compound (G) are selected so that It is preferable to select each component so that the glass transition point (Tg) is -60 to -10 ° C.
When the glass transition temperature of the polyester resin (D) is less than −80 ° C., the cohesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer obtained by using the polyester resin is lowered, and the float-off is likely to occur. On the other hand, when the glass transition temperature exceeds 0 ° C., the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer becomes too hard and does not exhibit sufficient tack, or the adhesive strength is weak when plastics or a glass plate and a plastic film are laminated. In addition, the solubility in a solvent decreases, and the viscosity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive increases, which makes it difficult to handle at the time of coating.
The glass transition temperature is a value obtained using a DSC (differential scanning calorimeter).

  The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the polyester resin (D) in the present invention is preferably in the range of 2,000 to 1,000,000 from the viewpoint of adhesiveness, and is in the range of 8,000 to 500,000. It is more preferable. When such a polyester resin is used, a pressure-sensitive adhesive having excellent adhesion and wettability can be obtained. If the Mw is less than 2,000, the cohesive force as the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer becomes difficult to develop, and the heat resistance and heat and humidity resistance are reduced. On the other hand, if Mw exceeds 1,000,000, the fluidity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive becomes poor even when diluted with a solvent, and the coating property is reduced when producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Absent.

  The hydroxyl value or acid value of the polyester resin (D) having a side chain in the present invention is 0.1 to 50 mgKOH depending on the above-mentioned side chain functional group introduction component (C) and further on the cyclic ester compound (G). / G is preferably controlled within a range of 0.5 to 30 mg KOH / g. When both the hydroxyl value and the acid value are lower than 0.1 mgKOH / g, the reactivity with the reactive compound (F) described later is inferior and the cohesive force becomes insufficient. Therefore, the polyester resin (D) is used. In addition to being difficult to peel off the laminated body obtained, for example, a glass member for organic electroluminescence, an adhesive residue may be generated after peeling, resulting in insufficient removability. Further, when both the hydroxyl value and the acid value are higher than 50 mgKOH / g, the pot life is shortened, and workability at the time of coating and bonding is remarkably lowered, which is not preferable.

  As the ultraviolet blocking particles (E) used in the present invention, various particles can be used as long as they block ultraviolet rays. Specific examples include titanium oxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, cerium oxide, and oxidation. Examples include ultraviolet blocking particles such as thallium, talc, kaolin, alumina and calcium carbonate, and particles doped with aluminum or nitrogen atoms.

  It is important that the average particle size of the ultraviolet blocking particles (E) used in the present invention (the average particle size is expressed by the volume average particle size hereinafter) is 0.1 nm or more and less than 100 nm. If the average particle size of the ultraviolet blocking particles (E) is less than 0.1 nm, it is not preferable because sufficient ultraviolet blocking performance cannot be expected. Moreover, since transparency of a resin layer will be impaired when larger than 100 nm, it is unpreferable.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention preferably contains 0.1 to 40.0 parts by weight of the ultraviolet blocking particles (E) with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin (D). It is more preferable to contain parts by weight. If the amount of the ultraviolet blocking particles (E) used exceeds 40 parts by weight, the adhesiveness of the resulting pressure-sensitive adhesive composition tends to decrease and the cohesive force of the resin layer decreases, which is not preferable.
