Abstract

An adhesive sheet including an adhesive layer composed of an adhesive having active energy ray curability and ultraviolet ray absorbability, wherein when one surface of the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer and an infrared absorption spectrum is then measured for the irradiated surface and non-irradiated surface, the maximum absolute value of absorbance is 0.0001 to 0.012 within a wavenumber range of 700 to 1000 cm −1 in a difference spectrum obtained by subtracting the infrared absorption spectrum of the non-irradiated surface from the infrared absorption spectrum of the irradiated surface, and when the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer, the difference in a gel fraction of the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer before and after the irradiation is from 5 to 50 points.

Claims (33)

1 . An adhesive sheet comprising an adhesive layer composed of an adhesive having active energy ray curability and ultraviolet ray absorbability, wherein

when one surface of the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer and an infrared absorption spectrum is then measured by a total reflection measurement method for each of an irradiated surface that is a surface of the cured adhesive layer irradiated with the ultraviolet rays and a non-irradiated surface that is opposite to the irradiated surface, a maximum value of an absolute value of absorbance is 0.0001 or more and 0.012 or less within a wavenumber range of 700 to 1000 cm −1 in a difference spectrum obtained by subtracting the infrared absorption spectrum of the non-irradiated surface from the infrared absorption spectrum of the irradiated surface,

when the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer, a difference in a gel fraction of the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer before and after the irradiation is 5 points or more and 50 points or less,

the adhesive is obtained by thermally crosslinking a pressure sensitive adhesive composition that contains a (meth)acrylic ester polymer (A), a crosslinker (B), an active energy ray curable component (C) and an ultraviolet ray absorber (E),

a content of the active energy ray curable component (C) in the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is 8 mass parts or more and 15 mass parts or less with respect to 100 mass parts of the (meth)acrylic ester polymer (A), and

a content of the ultraviolet ray absorber (E) in the pressure sensitive adhesive composition is 0.01 mass parts or more and 2 mass parts or less with respect to 100 mass parts of the active energy ray curable component (C).

2 . The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has a thickness of 20 μm or more and 1000 μm or less.

3 . The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein when the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer, the gel fraction of the adhesive constituting the cured adhesive layer is 40% or more and 95% or less.

4 . The adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein when the adhesive layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a light amount of 2000 mJ/cm 2 to cure the adhesive layer, the cured adhesive layer has a storage elastic modulus of 0.03 MPa or more and 2.00 MPa or less at 23° C.
