Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical laminate.
- optical films such as polarizing plates are used in displays such as liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays.
- the optical film is incorporated into the display device by being attached to a display panel or the like of the display device using an adhesive layer.
- a laminate is prepared in which an adhesive layer and a release film are laminated in this order on one surface of the optical film, and the separator is peeled off from this laminate to expose the adhesive layer, and the optical film is attached to the display panel or the like.
- the laminate can be obtained, for example, by laminating an optical film and an adhesive layer with a release film in which an adhesive layer is formed on a release film.
- the adhesive layer with a release film can be obtained by forming an adhesive layer on a release film, and peeling off one release film from an adhesive sheet in which another release film is laminated on the adhesive layer.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an adhesive sheet with release films on both sides of an adhesive layer used for bonding optical components.
- the peel force between one release film and the adhesive layer is relatively small, and the peel force between the other release film and the adhesive layer is relatively large. This allows the release films on both sides to be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer in order, and prevents the adhesive layer from breaking when the release film is peeled off.
- the release film with a release film which has an adhesive layer and a release film with a relatively large release force (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "heavy release film”) obtained by peeling and removing the release film with a relatively small release force (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "light release film”) from the adhesive sheet, is laminated on the optical film.
- the heavy release film When applying a polarizing plate to a display device, the heavy release film may be peeled off from the laminate, with the laminate having an adhesive layer with a release film fixed onto an adsorption plate.
- the laminate When attempting to peel off the heavy release film using this method, the laminate may lift up from the adsorption plate, making it impossible to peel the heavy release film from the adhesive layer.
- the present invention aims to provide an optical laminate that allows the release film to be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer.
- the present invention provides the following optical laminate.
- An optical laminate comprising an optical film, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a release film in this order, the release film has a release-treated surface containing a siloxane compound on a side in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer,
- the release-treated surface of the release film satisfies the following formula (1): Ys/Xs ⁇ 100 ⁇ 3.5 (1)
- Xs represents the intensity of the maximum peak Ps in the binding energy range of 96 eV or more and 108 eV or less in the XPS spectrum (Sr) of the release treated surface
- Ys represents the intensity of the XPS spectrum (Sr) at a binding energy of (Es+2) eV, where Es [eV] is the binding energy at the peak Ps.
- the optical laminate of the present invention allows the release film to be easily peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an optical laminate according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a method for producing an optical laminate according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- optical laminate 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an optical laminate according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the optical laminate 1 has an optical film 11, a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), and a first release film 15 (release film) in this order.
- the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is usually in direct contact with the optical film 11 and the first release film 15.
- the optical film 11 may be a polarizing plate including at least a linear polarizing layer, or may be a polarizing plate including a polarizing plate and a retardation layer.
- the optical film 11 may include a surface protection film that is provided so as to be peelable from the polarizing plate.
- the first release film 15 has a release-treated surface containing a siloxane compound on the side in contact with the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12.
- the release-treated surface of the first release film 15 satisfies the relationship of the following formula (1).
- Xs represents the intensity of the maximum peak Ps in the binding energy range of 96 eV or more and 108 eV or less in the XPS spectrum (Sr) of the release-treated surface
- Ys represents the intensity of the XPS spectrum (Sr) at a binding energy of (Es+2) eV, where Es [eV] is the binding energy at peak Ps.
- the binding energy (Es+2) eV refers to the binding energy at a position 2 eV shifted toward higher energy from the position of the binding energy Es at peak Ps in the XPS spectrum (Sr).
- the maximum peak Ps in the range of bond energy 96 eV to 108 eV is considered to be mainly derived from structure (I) in which two O atoms are bonded to the Si atom of the siloxane compound contained in the release treatment surface.
- the intensity Ys of the XPS spectrum (Sr) at the bond energy (Es+2) eV is considered to be mainly derived from structure (II) in which three or more O atoms are bonded to the Si atom of the siloxane compound contained in the release treatment surface.
- Structure (I) is considered to be a structure derived from the siloxane compound that is the main agent of the release agent composition used to form the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the release film.
- Structure (II) is considered to be a structure derived from the siloxane compound as an additive added to the release agent composition to obtain a release film with a relatively large release force. Therefore, it can be said that the left side (Ys/Xs ⁇ 100) in formula (1) represents the ratio of the content of the siloxane compound that is the additive to the content of the siloxane compound that is the main agent among the siloxane compounds on the release treatment surface of the first release film 15.
- the optical laminate 1 can be manufactured, for example, by [i] laminating a first adhesive layer 12 formed on a second release film 25 (FIG. 2) onto an optical film 11, then peeling off the second release film 25, and [ii] laminating a first release film 15 having a smaller peel strength than the second release film 25 onto the first adhesive layer 12 exposed by the peeling off of the second release film 25.
- a small amount of the siloxane compound constituting the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the second release film 25 adheres to the first adhesive layer 12, and it is believed that the siloxane compound adhered to the first adhesive layer 12 also adheres to the release treatment surface of the first release film 15.
- the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the first release film 15 does not contain a siloxane compound having structure (II) that provides a relatively large release force to the release film
- the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the second release film 25 is formed from a release agent composition containing a siloxane compound having structure (II)
- the siloxane compound having structure (II) contained in the release treatment surface of the second release film 25 will adhere to the release treatment surface of the first release film 15 by replacing the second release film 25 with the first release film 15. Therefore, for example, in the optical laminate 1 manufactured with the replacement of the release film as described above, it is considered that the release treatment surface of the first release film 15 satisfies the relationship of the above formula (1).
- Ys/Xs x 100 in formula (1) may be 3.50 or less, 3.45 or less, or 3.40 or less.
- Ys/Xs x 100 in formula (1) is usually 0.1 or more, 1.0 or more, 2.0 or more, or 2.6 or more.
- the strengths Xs and Ys can be measured by the method described in the examples below.
- the optical laminate 1 is provided with a release film with a small peeling force because the release-treated surface of the first release film 15 satisfies the relationship of formula (1). Therefore, when the first release film 15 is peeled off from the optical laminate 1 with the optical film 11 side of the optical laminate 1 fixed to an adsorption plate, it becomes easier to separate the first release film 15 between the first adhesive layer 12 and the first release film 15.
- the surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 on the side of the first release film 15 preferably satisfies the relationship of the following formula (2).
- Xa represents the intensity of the maximum peak Pa in the binding energy range of 96 eV or more and 108 eV or less in the XPS spectrum (Sa) of the surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 on the side of the first release film
- Ya represents the intensity of the XPS spectrum (Sa) at a binding energy of (Ea+2) eV, where Ea [eV] is the binding energy at peak Pa.
- the bond energy (Ea+2) eV refers to the bond energy at a position 2 eV higher than the bond energy Ea at peak Pa in the XPS spectrum (Sa).
- the maximum peak Pa in the bond energy range of 96 eV to 108 eV is believed to be mainly due to structure (I) in which two O atoms are bonded to the Si atom of the siloxane compound attached to the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 facing the first release film 15.
- the intensity of the XPS spectrum (Sa) at a bond energy of (Ea+2) eV is believed to be mainly due to structure (II) in which three or more O atoms are bonded to the Si atom of the siloxane compound attached to the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 facing the first release film 15.
- the siloxane compounds that result in structure (I) and structure (II) are as described above.
- the siloxane compound contained in the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the release film laminated on the surface during the manufacturing process of the optical laminate 1 adheres to the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 on the first release film 15 side.
- the siloxane compound constituting the release treatment surface (release treatment layer) of the second release film 25 (FIG. 2) that was laminated before the replacement also adheres to the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 on the first release film 15 side.
- the release treatment surface of the second release film 25 is formed from a release agent composition containing a siloxane compound having structure (II)
- a release agent composition containing a siloxane compound having structure (II) even if the second release film 25 is replaced with the first release film 15, it is believed that the siloxane compound having structure (II) contained in the release treatment surface of the second release film 25 remains on the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 on the first release film 15 side. Therefore, for example, in the optical laminate 1 manufactured with the above-described replacement of the release film, it is considered that the surface of the first adhesive layer 12 on the side of the first release film 15 satisfies the relationship of the above formula (2).
- Ya/Xa ⁇ 100 in formula (2) may be 2.0 or more, 2.5 or more, 3.0 or more, or 3.4 or more. Ya/Xa ⁇ 100 in formula (2) is usually 20 or less, 15 or less, 10 or less, or 6.6 or less.
- the strengths Xa and Ya can be measured by the method described in the examples below.
- the optical laminate 1 can be attached to the display element of a display device by peeling off the first release film 15 and using the exposed first adhesive layer 12 to bond the optical film 11.
- the display device is not particularly limited, but examples include liquid crystal display devices and organic EL display devices.
- the display device may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet, or may be a television, digital photo frame, electronic signboard, measuring device or gauge, office equipment, medical equipment, computing equipment, etc.

- a method for producing the optical laminate 1 described above will be described, but the optical laminate produced by this method is not limited thereto.
- the method for producing the optical laminate 1 includes the steps of: a step of bonding the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 side of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 21 with a release film, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 being provided on a second release-treated surface of a second release film 25, to the optical film 11 to obtain a first laminate 2 ((c) of FIG. 2); a step of peeling off the second release film 25 from the first laminate 2 (FIG. 2(d)); The method includes a step of peeling off the second release film 25 and bonding the first release treated surface of the first release film 15 to the first adhesive layer 12 exposed thereby to obtain a second laminate 3 (FIG. 2 (e)).
- both the first release treatment surface and the second release treatment surface contain a polysiloxane compound.
- the peeling force between the first release film 15 and the first adhesive layer 12 is smaller than the peeling force between the second release film 25 and the first adhesive layer 12. This makes it easier to obtain an optical laminate 1 from which the first release film 15 can be easily peeled off while the optical film 11 side of the optical laminate 1 is fixed to the suction plate.
- the method for producing the optical laminate 1 includes the steps of:
- the second release treatment surface of the second release film 25 peeled off from the first laminate 2, and the first release treatment surface of the first release film 15 peeled off from the second laminate 3 may satisfy the relationships of the following formulas (3) and (4).

- the intensity of the XPS spectrum (Sr2) at the bond energy (Es2+2) eV is believed to be mainly derived from structure (II) in which three or more O atoms are bonded to the Si atom of the siloxane compound attached to the second release treatment surface of the second release film 25.
- the siloxane compounds that provide structures (I) and (II) are as described above.

- the bond energy (Es1+2), peak Ps1, and intensity Ys2 of the XPS spectrum (Sr1) at the bond energy (Es1+2) eV are as described for the bond energy (Es+2), peak Ps, and intensity Ys in the above formula (1).
- a small amount of the siloxane compound (having structure (II) and serving as an additive that provides a relatively large peeling force) constituting the second release treated surface of the second release film 25 also adheres to the first release treated surface of the first release film 15. Therefore, the first release treated surface is considered to satisfy the relationship of the above formula (4), and an optical laminate 1 that satisfies the relationship of the above-described formula (1) can be manufactured.
