Abstract

The present invention provides an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film comprising a) 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic copolymer having a high molecular weight, which is copolymerized from a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer and a vinylic and/or an acrylic monomer having a functional group capable of crosslinking with a multifunctional crosslinking agent and has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 1,000,000; b) 5-20 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic copolymer having a low molecular weight, which comprises the same monomer of the main chain of a) the (meth)acrylic copolymer having a high molecular weight, has a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000-30,000 and comprises 0.01-1 monomer, per one molecule of the copolymer on average, having a functional group capable of reacting with the crosslinking agent of c); and c) 0.01-10 parts by weight of a multifunctional crosslinking agent.

Claims (13)

1. An acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film comprising

a) 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic copolymer having a high molecular weight, which is copolymerized from a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer and a vinylic and/or an acrylic monomer having a functional group capable of crosslinking with a multifunctional crosslinking agent and has a weight-average molecular weight of at least 1,000,000;

b) 5-20 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic copolymer having a low molecular weight, which comprises the same monomer comprised in the main chain of the (meth)acrylic copolymer of a), has a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000-30,000 and comprises 0.01-1 monomer, per one molecule of the copolymer on average, having a functional group capable of reacting with the crosslinking agent of c); and

c) 0.01-10 parts by weight of a multifunctional crosslinking agent, wherein the multifunctional crosslinking agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of an isocyanate compound, an epoxy compound, an aziridine compound and a metal chelate compound.

2. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film of claim 1 , wherein a) the (meth)acrylic copolymer having a high molecular weight comprises 91.0-99.9 parts by weight of the (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer and 0.1-9 parts by weight of the vinylic and/or the acrylic monomer having a functional group capable of crosslinking with a multifunctional crosslinking agent.

3. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film of claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer of a) is at least one alkyl ester having 2-8 carbon atoms, which is selected from the group consisting of butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, methyl (meth)acryl ate, n-propyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, t-butyl (meth)acrylate, pentyl (meth)acrylate, n-octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate, isononyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylbutyl (meth)acrylate and benzyl acrylate.

4. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film of claim 1 , wherein the monomer having a functional group capable of crosslinking of a) is at least one selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropylene glycol (meth)acrylate, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid dimer, itaconic acid, maleic acid and maleic acid anhydride.

5. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film of claim 1 , wherein the acrylic copolymer is prepared by a method selected from the group consisting of solution polymerization, photopolymerization, bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization.

6. The acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition for a polarizing film of claim 1 , which has a crosslinking density of 5-95%.

7. An adhesive polarizing film comprising an adhesive layer prepared from the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive composition according to claim 1 on one or both sides of the polarizing film.

8. The adhesive polarizing film of claim 7 , which further comprises at least one film selected from the group consisting of a protection film, a reflection film, a phase retardation film, a compensation film for wide view angle or a brightness enhancement film.

9. A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal panel in which the adhesive polarizing film of claim 8 is attached on one or both sides of a liquid crystal cell.
