Abstract

Provided are a glass substrate protective film including an optically transparent adhesive layer; a polyimide-based shatter-proof layer formed on the optically transparent adhesive layer; and a hard coating layer formed on the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer. The hard coating layer and the optically transparent adhesive layer have a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer has a thickness of 20 to 50 μm, the glass substrate protective film has an absolute value of a retardation in a thickness direction (R th ) of 2000 nm or less, and an adhesive strength when the optically transparent adhesive layer adheres to the glass substrate is 200 gf/in or more. A method for manufacturing the glass substrate laminate and a display panel including the glass substrate laminate are also provided.

Claims (30)

1. A protective film for glass substrate protective film comprising:

an optically transparent adhesive layer;

a polyimide-based shatter-proof layer formed on the optically transparent adhesive layer; and

a hard coating layer formed on the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer,

wherein the hard coating layer and the optically transparent adhesive layer have a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, respectively, the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer has a thickness of 20 to 50 μm,

wherein the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer includes a polyimide polymer including a unit derived from an aromatic diamine containing fluorine atom, and an aromatic dianhydride,

wherein the aromatic dianhydride comprises BPAF (9,9-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) fluorene dianhydride), and

wherein the hard coating layer includes a unit derived from a condensate of alkoxysilane having an epoxy group.

2. The protective film for glass substrate of claim 1 , wherein the condensate of alkoxysilane having an epoxy group is a silsesquioxane resin having an epoxy group.

3. The protective film for glass substrate protective-film of claim 1 , wherein the hard coating layer further includes a unit derived from a crosslinking agent having a polyfunctional epoxy group.

4. A glass substrate laminate comprising:

a glass substrate; and

the protective film for glass substrate of claim 1 on one surface of the glass substrate

wherein the glass substrate laminate has an absolute value of a retardation in a thickness direction (Rth) of 2000 nm or less, and an adhesive strength between the glass substrate and the optically transparent adhesive layer is 200 gf/in or more.

5. The glass substrate laminate of claim 4 , wherein the glass substrate has a thickness of 100 to 1000 μm.

6. The glass substrate laminate of claim 4 , wherein the glass substrate laminate has a flame retardant grade of V-0 as evaluated in accordance with a UL-94 VB flame retardant specification.

7. The glass substrate laminate of claim 4 , wherein the glass substrate laminate has a pencil hardness in accordance with ASTM D3363 of 4H or more.

8. A method for manufacturing a glass substrate laminate, the method comprising:

applying a hard coating layer forming composition on one surface of a polyimide-based shatter-proof layer and curing the composition to form a hard coating layer;

attaching an optically transparent adhesive layer to the other surface of the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer; and

laminating a glass substrate on the optically transparent adhesive layer,

wherein the hard coating layer and the optically transparent adhesive layer have a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, respectively, the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer has a thickness of 20 to 50 μm, the glass substrate laminate has an absolute value of a retardation in a thickness direction (R th ) of 2000 nm or less, and an adhesive strength between the glass substrate and the optically transparent adhesive layer is 200 gf/in or more,

wherein the polyimide-based shatter-proof layer includes a polyimide polymer including a unit derived from an aromatic diamine containing fluorine atom, and an aromatic dianhydride,

wherein the aromatic dianhydride comprises BPAF (9,9-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) fluorene dianhydride), and

wherein the hard coating layer includes a unit derived from a condensate of alkoxysilane having an epoxy group.

9. The method for manufacturing a glass substrate laminate of claim 8 , wherein the condensate of alkoxysilane having an epoxy group is a silsesquioxane resin having an epoxy group.

10. The method for manufacturing a glass substrate laminate of claim 8 , wherein the hard coating layer forming composition further includes a crosslinking agent having a polyfunctional epoxy group.

11. The method for manufacturing a glass substrate laminate of claim 8 , wherein the glass substrate laminate has a flame retardant grade of V-0 as evaluated in accordance with a UL-94 VB flame retardant specification.

12. The method for manufacturing a glass substrate laminate of claim 8 , wherein the glass substrate laminate has a pencil hardness in accordance with ASTM D3363 of 4H or more.

13. A display panel comprising the glass substrate protective film of claim 1 .
