Abstract

Provided are an adhesive composition, an adhesive layer comprising the same and a foldable display comprising the same.

Claims (32)

1. An adhesive composition comprising:

a (meth)acrylate resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of −70° C. or lower;

an epoxy crosslinking agent;

a metal salt; and

acetylacetone (acac),

wherein the acetylacetone is contained in an amount of 0.1 parts by weight or more and 0.5 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the (meth)acrylate resin,

wherein the metal salt is contained in an amount of 3 parts by weight or more and 5 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the (meth)acrylate resin, and

wherein the metal salt is Li+X−,

wherein X− is represented by the following Formula 3:

[ L (YOmRf) nl]−   [Formula 3]

wherein, in the Formula 3,

L is a nitrogen atom or a carbon atom;

Y is a carbon atom or a sulfur atom;

Rf is a perfluoroalkyl group;

m is an integer of 1 or 2; and

n is an integer of 2 or 3.

2. The adhesive composition according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of a solvent, a dispersant, a crosslinkable compound, a photoinitiator, a thermal initiator, a tackifier and a silane coupling agent.

3. An adhesive layer comprising the adhesive composition according to claim 1 or a cured product thereof,

wherein the adhesive layer has a storage modulus satisfying the following Equations 1 and 2:

1×10 5 ≤G 1′≤1×10 6   [Equation 1]

1×10 4 <G 2′≤1×10 5   [Equation 2]

wherein G1′ is a storage modulus (Pa) at −30° C.; and

G2′ is a storage modulus (Pa) at 60° C.

4. The adhesive layer according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

5. The adhesive layer according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive layer has a relative permittivity of at least 4 at 25° C., 60 RH % and 100 KHz.

6. The adhesive layer according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive layer has an adhesive force of at least 500 gf/inch after bonding one surface of the adhesive layer to a SUS304 substrate and then storing a structure resulting therefrom at 23° C. and 50 RH % for one day.

7. The adhesive layer according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesive layer has a gel fraction of at least 50%.

8. The adhesive layer according to claim 3 , further comprising a release film on at least one surface of the adhesive layer.

9. A foldable display comprising:

the adhesive layer according to claim 3 ; and

a flexible substrate provided on one surface of the adhesive layer.

10. The foldable display according to claim 9 , wherein the flexible substrate is selected from the group consisting of TPU, glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, polycarbonate (PC), polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyarylate (PAR), polycyclic olefin (PCO), polynorbornene, polyethersulfone (PES) and a cycloolefin polymer (COP).
