Transparent double-sided adhesive sheet for image display device and image display device using the same
View Patent ↗A novel transparent double-sided adhesive sheet for image display device is provided, that, under the constraint of holding down the thickness of the adhesive sheet to 250 μm or less, can relieve a distortion arising within the adhesive sheet after laminating even if a member has a stepped portion of 50 μm to 100 μm in height on the laminating surface. Proposed is a transparent double-sided adhesive sheet for image display device which is used for the purpose of laminating an image display device constitutive member having on a laminating surface a stepped portion of 50 μm to 100 μm in height and a flat surface portion, and another image display device constitutive member, wherein a thickness of the maximum thickness portion of the adhesive sheet is 250 μm or less, and a gel fraction (a) at a position in contact with a stepped portion after laminating is 10% or greater and smaller than a gel fraction (b) at a position in contact with a flat surface portion.
1. An image display device, comprising a constitutive member that comprises, on a laminating surface, a stepped portion and a flat surface portion excluding the stepped portion, wherein
the image display device further comprises a UV cured product and a second constitutive member,
the UV cured product is filled in between the constitutive member and the second constitutive member,
the UV cured product is formed by a non-solvent series adhesive composition which does not contain a solvent,
a thickness of a maximum thickness portion of the UV cured product is 250 μm or less,
the UV cured product at a position in contact with the stepped portion has a gel fraction (a) thereof of 10% or greater and smaller than a gel fraction (b) at a position in contact with a flat surface portion, and
the difference [(b)−(a)] between the gel fraction (a) of the UV cured product at a position in contact with the stepped portion and the gel fraction (b) of the UV cured product at a position in contact with the flat surface portion is from 5 to 30%.
2. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the gel fraction (a) of the UV cured product a position in contact with the stepped portion is from 30 to 80% and the gel fraction (b) of the UV cured product at a position in contact with the flat surface portion is from 35 to 100%.
3. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the UV cured product comprises a (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer.
4. The image display device according claim 1 , wherein the a UV cured product comprises a (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer of 100,000 to 700,000 in mass average molecular weight and an intermolecular hydrogen-abstraction type photoinitiator.
5. The image display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the constitutive member and the second constitutive member comprise a combination of any from a group comprising a touch panel, an image display panel, and a surface protective panel having a print-stepped portion that blocks light.
