Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical adhesive film including plate-type inorganic nanoparticles and a curable resin. The optical adhesive film has improved barrier characteristics to moisture and gas, improved light-transmittance, and excellent durability and peel characteristics.

Claims (24)

1. An optical adhesive film comprising:

inorganic nanoparticles having a plate shape; and

a cured resin, wherein the inorganic nanoparticles include at least one delaminated layer of a layered clay compound, and the inorganic nanoparticles are dispersed in a matrix of the cured resin, parallel to a surface of the optical adhesive film,

wherein a light transmittance is 91.5 to 92.0%, and a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) value of the optical adhesive film after being left at about 50° C. for about 24 hours is about 30 g/m 2 to 50 g/m 2 , and

wherein the optical adhesive film is prepared by stirring and mixing the layered clay compound and a curable monomer for forming an optical adhesive film at 10,000 rpm for 30 minutes, and

wherein the cured resin is formed by polymerizing 100 parts by weight of ethyl hexyl acrylate (EHA), 50 parts by weight of isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), and 40 parts by weight of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) in the presence of 3-5 parts by weight of layered clay compound.

2. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic nanoparticles have a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm.

3. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic nanoparticles have a ratio of a thickness to a long diameter of 1:50 to 1:200.

4. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein the layered clay compound includes one selected from the group consisting of mica, smectite, vermiculite, clorite, montmorillonite (MMT), nontronite, saponite, hectorite, bentonite and combinations thereof.

5. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein in the layered clay compound, a hydrophilic functional group is substituted with a C12-C18 alkyl group.

6. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein peaks do not exist at 2θ values of 2 to 10 degrees in X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern using CuKα ray.

7. The optical adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein a toughness is 3.5 Kg/mm 2 to 4.0 Kg/mm 2 , modulus measured at room temperature is 1.15×10 5 Pa to 1.20×10 5 Pa, and peel strength is 3.0 kg/inch to 3.5 kg/inch.

8. A method for manufacturing the optical adhesive film of claim 1 comprising:

preparing an adhesive composition by mixing and stirring at 10,000 rpm for 30minutes, an organic-substituted hydrophobic layered clay compound and a curable monomer for forming an optical adhesive film so that the curable monomer is interposed between layers of the layered clay compound; and

curing the adhesive composition to polymerize the curable monomer interposed between the layers of the layered clay compound to be a cured resin, such that the inorganic nanoparticles having a plate shape, each of which forms the layer of the layered clay compound, are delaminated so as to obtain the optical adhesive film in which the inorganic nanoparticles are dispersed in a matrix of the cured resin,

wherein the cured resin is formed by polymerizing 100 parts by weight of ethyl hexyl acrylate (EHA), 50 parts by weight of isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) and 40 parts by weight of hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), in the presence of 3-5 parts by weight of organic-substituted layered clay compound,

wherein the inorganic nanoparticles include at least one delaminated layer of a layered clay compound, and the inorganic nanoparticles are disperesed parallel in a matrix of the cured resin to a surface of the optical adhesive film.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the inorganic nanoparticles have a thickness of 1 nm to 100 nm.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the inorganic nanoparticles have a ratio of a thickness to a long diameter of 1:50 to 1:200.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the organic-substituted hydrophobic layered clay compound includes one selected from the group consisting of mica, smectite, vermiculite, chlorite, montmorillonite (MMT), nontronite, saponite, hectorite, bentonite and combinations thereof, and in the layered clay compound, a hydrophilic functional group is substituted with a C12-C18 alkyl group.

12. A touch screen panel comprising:

a conductive plastic film having one surface on which a conductive layer is formed; and

the optical adhesive film of claim 1 , stacked on the conductive plastic film.

13. The touch screen panel of claim 12 , wherein the conductive plastic film is a polyethylene terephthalate film having one surface on which a conductive metal oxide layer is formed.
