DOUBLE-SIDED PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE TAPES FOR PRODUCING LC DISPLAYS WITH LIGHT-REFLECTIVE AND -ABSORBING PROPERTIES
The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, particularly for producing or sticking together optical light crystal data displays (LCD's), comprising a top side and an underside, with light-reflective properties on the top side and light-absorbing properties on the underside. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape also comprises a carrier film with a top side and an underside, which is provided with a metallic reflective coating on at least one of its sides. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on both sides and is characterized in that the carrier film has a content of antiblocking agents of less than 4000 ppm, and at least one light-absorbing chromophoric layer is provided at least between the underside of the carrier film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer located on this side.
1 . A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, comprising (a) a carrier film having a top side and a bottom side, said carrier film being provided on at least one of its sides with a metallically reflecting coating, and said carrier film having an antiblocking agent content of less than 4000 ppm, (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on each side of said carrier film, and (c) at least one light-absorbing chromophoric layer at least between the bottom side of the carrier film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer located on that side, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape exhibits light-reflecting properties on one side thereof and light-absorbing properties on an opposite side thereof.
2 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the carrier film has an antiblocking agent content of less than 1000 ppm.
3 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the sides of the carrier film has a roughness of less than 400 nm.
4 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein the carrier film has a thickness of between 250 μm and 4 μm.
5 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of preceding claims claim 1 , wherein the metallically reflecting coating is provided on the top side of the carrier film.
6 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , characterized in that wherein the metallically reflecting coating is provided on the bottom side of the carrier film and the carrier film is translucent.
7 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , wherein a metallically reflecting coating is provided on both sides of the carrier film.
8 . A process for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 , comprising roughening the surface on at least one of the sides of the carrier film prior to production of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.
9 . The process of claim 8 , said roughening comprises pressured application of a nonwoven and/or woven fabric and/or by treatment with surface-structured rolls and refining if appropriate by polishing.
10 . The process of claim 9 , wherein the carrier film is pretreated, before or after roughening by etching, by corona or plasma treatment and/or by treatment with a primer.
11 . The process of claim 9 , wherein the metal coating is obtained by sputtering (cathodic atomization coating).
12 . A method of bonding an optical liquid-crystal display (LCD) comprising bonding said LCD or a component thereof to a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 .
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the LCD is an LCD glass.
14 . A liquid-crystal display (LCD) comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of claim 1 .
