Abstract

The present application relates to an adhesive film comprising a first polymer comprising a first (meth)acrylate resin and at least one type of a monomer of the following Chemical Formula 1, a method for manufacturing the same, and a foldable display device comprising the same:

Claims (41)

1 . An adhesive film comprising a first polymer comprising a first (meth)acrylate resin and at least one type of a monomer of the following Chemical Formula 1,

wherein an early peel strength of the adhesive film after stored for 1 day at 23° C. is greater than 0 gf/inch and less than or equal to 10 gf/inch, and a late peel strength of the adhesive film after stored for 5 days at 40° C. is greater than 0 gf/inch and less than or equal to 11 gf/inch;

the adhesive film is cut to a size of one inch×one inch to attach one surface thereof to a first substrate and then stored for 1 day at 23° C. before measuring the early peel strength or stored for 5 days at 40° C. before measuring the late peel strength; and

the first substrate is a silicone-based substrate; and

wherein a storage modulus of the adhesive film at 20° C. (G1) and a storage modulus of the adhesive film at −20° C. (G2) satisfy the following Equation (1) and Equation (2) as measured at a frequency of 1 Hz, 5% strain, and a temperature increasing rate of 10° C./minute in a range of −20° C. to 90° C.:

1×10 4 Pa≤ G 1≤9.5×10 4 Pa  [Equation (1)]

G 1≤ G 2≤5.0×10 5 Pa  [Equation (2)]

in the Chemical Formula 1,

R 1 is hydrogen; or an alkyl group;

R 2 is a functional group comprising a (meth)acryloyl group; and

m is an integer of 0 to 200.

2 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein an adhesive strength of the adhesive film after attaching one surface of the adhesive film to a second substrate and then stored for 1 day at 23° C. is 500 gf/inch or greater; and

the second substrate is a glass or polyimide (PI) substrate.

3 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , further comprising a second polymer comprising a second (meth)acrylate resin.

4 . The adhesive film of claim 3 , wherein a content of the second polymer is greater than or equal to 10 parts by weight and less than or equal to 2000 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first polymer.

5 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein a rate of change in the peel strength represented by Equation (3) is greater than or equal to −10% and less than or equal to 20%:

[( B−A )/ A ]×100  [Equation (3)]

in the Equation (3),

A is the early peel strength; and

B is the late peel strength.

6 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , further comprising the first substrate provided on one surface of the adhesive film; or both surfaces of the adhesive film.

7 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein the first polymer has a weight average molecular weight of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 g/mol and less than or equal to 5,000,000 g/mol.

8 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein a content of the monomer of Chemical Formula 1 is greater than or equal to 0.1 parts by weight and less than or equal to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first polymer.

9 . The adhesive film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive film has a thickness of greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 100 μm.

10 . A foldable display device comprising the adhesive film of claim 1 .

11 . A method for manufacturing an adhesive film, the method comprising:

preparing a first substrate; and

forming an adhesive film by coating an adhesive composition on one surface of the first substrate,

wherein the first substrate is a silicone-based substrate;

the adhesive composition comprises a first polymer comprising a first (meth)acrylate resin and at least one type of a monomer of the following Chemical Formula 1; and

a content of the monomer of Chemical Formula 1 is greater than or equal to 0.1 parts by weight and less than or equal to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first polymer:

in the Chemical Formula 1,

R 1 is hydrogen; or an alkyl group;

R 2 is a functional group comprising a (meth)acryloyl group; and

m is an integer of 0 to 200.

12 . The method for manufacturing an adhesive film of claim 11 , wherein the forming of an adhesive film by coating an adhesive composition on one surface of the first substrate further comprises drying after coating the adhesive composition.

13 . The method for manufacturing an adhesive film of claim 12 , further comprising attaching one surface of the adhesive film to a second substrate after the forming of an adhesive film by coating an adhesive composition on one surface of the first substrate,

wherein the second substrate is a glass or polyimide (PI) substrate; and

an adhesive strength after attaching one surface of the adhesive film to the second substrate and then stored for 1 day at 23° C. is at least 500 gf/inch.

14 . The method for manufacturing an adhesive film of claim 12 , further comprising removing the first substrate after the forming of an adhesive film by coating an adhesive composition on one surface of the first substrate,

wherein a peel strength for the surface in contact with the first substrate of the adhesive film is greater than 0 gf/inch and less than or equal to 10 gf/inch in the removing of the first substrate.
