Abstract

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive film for an orientating treatment of a photo-orientable layer, a laminated film, a method for preparing an optical filter or a stereoscopic image display device. In the present invention, the pressure sensitive adhesive film for an orientating treatment in a photo-orientable layer which can minimize the generation of the un-orientated regions, and can form the orientated pattern having high degrees of accuracy, and the preparation method for an optical filter using the pressure sensitive adhesive film are provided. Further, the present invention can provide the optical filter and the stereoscopic image display device having excellent performance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A laminated film for preparing an optical filter, comprising:
a base,
a photo-orientable layer that is formed on the base and has a preliminary orientation achieved by irradiating the entire surface of the photo-orientable layer with linearly polarized ultraviolet rays having a first direction; and
a pressure sensitive adhesive film that is attached on the photo-orientable layer, the pressure sensitive adhesive film comprising:
a substrate having at least one light transmissive portion and at least one light blocking portion, wherein the substrate comprises a light transmissive sheet and a light blocking or light absorbing ink that is printed on the light transmissive sheet and forms the light blocking portion on the light transmissive sheet, the light transmissive sheet is a cellulose sheet or an olefin sheet, and a printing height of the light blocking or the light absorbing ink is 0.5 μm to 2.0 μm; and
a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that is formed on a side of the substrate opposite to a printing side of the substrate and that is attached on the photo-orientable layer,

wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive film is configured such that, after irradiation of the photo-orientable layer with linearly polarized ultraviolet rays having a second direction different than the first direction through the light transmissive portion of the substrate of the pressure sensitive film attached on the photo-orientable layer, a ratio of the area of regions in the photo-orientable layer that generate light leakage relative to the entire area of the photo-orientable layer will be 2% or less.

2. The laminated film of claim 1 , wherein the light transmissive portion and the light blocking portion have a stripe shape extending in a common direction respectively, and are alternately arranged in a short-sided direction of the stripe shape.

3. The laminated film of claim 2 , wherein the photo-orientable layer is a photo-orientable layer for an optical filter for a stereoscopic image display device, and wherein the pitch of the light transmissive portion and the light blocking portion adjacent thereto is twice as long as the width of a unit pixel forming an image for the right eye or a unit pixel forming an image for the left eye in an element for displaying images in the stereoscopic image display device.

4. The laminated film of claim 3 , wherein the interval between the light blocking portions has the same value as the width of the unit pixel forming an image for the right eye or the unit pixel forming an image for the left eye.

5. A pressure sensitive adhesive film for preparing a laminated film for an optical filter for a stereoscopic image display device, the laminated film having a base and a photo-orientable layer that is formed on the base and has a preliminary orientation achieved by irradiating the entire surface of the photo-orientable layer with linearly polarized ultraviolet rays having a first direction, the pressure sensitive adhesive film comprising:
a substrate having at least one light transmissive portion and at least one light blocking portion, the substrate comprising:
a light transmissive sheet that is a cellulose sheet or an olefin sheet, and
a light blocking or light absorbing ink that is printed the light transmissive sheet, wherein a printing height of the light blocking or light absorbing ink is 0.5 μm to 2.0 μm; and

a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that is formed on a side of the substrate opposite to a printing side of the substrate and is configured to attach the substrate on the photo-orientable layer of the laminated film,
wherein the portion of the light transmissive sheet on which the light blocking or light absorbing ink is printed forms the light blocking portion on the light transmissive sheet, and a portion of the light transmissive sheet on which the light blocking or light absorbing ink is not printed forms the light transmissive portion,
wherein the light transmissive portion and the light blocking portion have a stripe shape extending in a common direction, respectively, and are alternately arranged in a short-sided direction of the stripe shape,
wherein the pitch of the light transmissive portion and the light blocking portion adjacent thereto is twice as long as the width of a unit pixel forming an image for a right eye or a unit pixel forming an image for a left eye in an element for displaying images in the stereoscopic image display device,
wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive film is configured such that, after irradiation of the photo-orientable layer with linearly polarized ultraviolet rays having a second direction different than the first direction through the light transmissive portion of the substrate of the pressure sensitive film attached on the photo-orientable layer, a ratio of the area of regions in the photo-orientable layer that generate light leakage relative to the entire area of the photo-orientable layer will be 2% or less.

6. The pressure sensitive adhesive film of claim 5 , wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive film is configured such that, after (i) irradiation of the photo-orientable layer with linearly polarized ultraviolet rays having a second direction different than the first direction through the light transmissive portion of the substrate of the pressure sensitive film attached on the photo-orientable layer, (ii) incorporation of the photo-orientable layer into the optical filter, and (iii) application of the optical filter to the stereoscopic image display device, a crosstalk ratio of the stereoscopic image display device is 5% or less;
wherein crosstalk ratio is represented by X T =(X TL +X TR )/2, X T represents the crosstalk ratio of the stereoscopic image display device to which the optical filter is applied, X TL represents the crosstalk ratio observed with the left eye of the stereoscopic image display device to which the optical filter is applied, and X TR represents the crosstalk ratio observed with the right eye of the stereoscopic image display device to which the optical filter is applied.

7. The pressure sensitive adhesive film of claim 6 , wherein the crosstalk ratio of the stereoscopic image display device is 2% or less.
