Abstract

To provide a glass substrate with protective glass which suppresses formation of microscopic scratches on the back surface of the glass substrate in the production process for a display device, and which prevents a strength decrease in the process or formation of etch pits after a chemical etching treatment; a process for producing a display device by using the glass substrate with protective glass; and a double-sided removable resin sheet for the glass substrate with protective glass. A glass substrate with protective glass, which comprises a glass substrate and a protective glass plate laminated on each other, and which is characterized in that the glass substrate and the protective glass plate are laminated by a double-sided removal resin sheet.

(a) a linear polyorganosiloxane having vinyl groups at both terminals and in its side chain, or

(b) a linear polyorganosiloxane having vinyl groups at both terminals or in its side chain,

wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device or an organic electroluminescent display device.

2. The process for producing a display device by using a glass substrate with protective glass according to claim 1 , wherein before curing, the cured product of silicone has a molar ratio of hydrosilyl groups of the methylhydrogen polysiloxane to vinyl groups of the linear polyorganosiloxane being from 1.3/1 to 0.7/1.

3. The process for producing a display device by using a glass substrate with protective glass according to claim 1 , wherein the double-sided removable resin sheet having a release material laminated on both sides, is formed by applying silicone to the release face of one of the release materials and curing it, and then laminating the other release material on the surface of the removable resin sheet.

4. The process for producing a display device by using a glass substrate with protective glass according to claim 3 , wherein the silicone is heat-cured at a temperature of from 50 to 250° C.

5. A process comprising producing a display device by using a glass substrate with protective glass, which comprises

laminating a glass substrate and a protective glass plate by a double-sided removable silicone resin sheet having releasability and non-adhesive property on both sides,

carrying out a prescribed treatment for producing the display device on the glass substrate,

separating the glass substrate from the protective glass plate, and

completing formation of the display device, wherein

said laminating comprises removing, from one side of the double-sided removable resin sheet having a release material laminated on both sides, the release material, so that the resin sheet is adhered to and laminated on the surface of either the glass substrate or the protective glass plate, and then removing the release material from the other side of the double-sided removable resin sheet so that the sheet is adhered to and laminated on the surface of the other one of the glass substrate and the protective glass plate,

wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device or an organic electroluminescent display device

wherein the double-sided removable resin sheet is a silicone resin sheet made of a cured product of silicone, which is a crosslinked product of a linear polyorganosiloxane and a methylhydrogen polysiloxane having hydrosilyl groups in its molecule, and

wherein the linear polyorganosiloxane is either

(a) a linear polyorganosiloxane having vinyl groups at both terminals and in its side chain, or

(b) a linear polyorganosiloxane having vinyl groups at both terminals or in its side chain.

6. A process comprising producing a display device by using a glass substrate with protective glass, which comprises

laminating a glass substrate and a protective glass plate by a double-sided removable silicone resin sheet having releasability and peelability on both sides,

carrying out a prescribed treatment for producing the display device on the glass substrate,

separating the glass substrate from the protective glass plate, and

completing formation of the display device, wherein

said laminating comprises removing, from one side of the double-sided removable resin sheet having a release material laminated on both sides, the release material, so that the resin sheet is adhered to and laminated on the surface of either the glass substrate or the protective glass plate, and then removing the release material from the other side of the double-sided removable resin sheet so that the sheet is adhered to and laminated on the surface of the other one of the glass substrate and the protective glass plate, and wherein

said peelability is defined by a peeling force of at most 2 kg wt/cm 2 according to a peel test in which the laminated glass substrate and protective glass plate is subjected to a heat treatment at 300° C. for 1 hour in air,
