Abstract

A double-sided polarizer includes a polarizing film, a first adhesive layer formed on one surface of the polarizing film, a second adhesive layer formed on the other surface of the polarizing film, a first transparent film formed on the first adhesive layer, and a second transparent film formed on the second adhesive layer, wherein the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are formed of an active energy line-curable adhesive and the first adhesive layer is 0.1 μm to 3 μm thick, and there is also provided an optical device including the double-sided polarizer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A double-sided polarizer comprising: a polarizing film; a first adhesive layer formed on one surface of the polarizing film; a second adhesive layer formed on the other surface of the polarizing film; a first transparent film formed on the first adhesive layer; a second transparent film formed on the second adhesive layer; and a primer layer at least between the first adhesive layer and the first transparent film or between the second adhesive layer and the second transparent film,
wherein the primer layer is formed from a primer composition comprising a urethane polymer, water-dispersible fine particles, and water,
wherein the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are formed of an active energy line-curable adhesive, and the first adhesive layer is 0.1 μm to 3 μm thick,
wherein the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are formed of a cationic adhesive,
wherein the cationic adhesive comprises: (1) 5 wt % to 90 wt % of an epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups in a molecule; (2) 5 wt % to 90 wt % of an oxetane compound having at least one oxetanyl group in a molecule; and (3) 0.5 wt % to 20 wt % of a cationic photo-polymerization initiator,
wherein the double-sided polarizer is manufactured by simultaneously curing the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer by irradiating an active energy line once, and
wherein at least one of the first transparent film and the second transparent film is an acrylic film.

2. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer is 0.1 μm to 10 μm thick.

3. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the irradiating of the active energy line is performed through an active energy source positioned in a direction of the second transparent film formed on the second adhesive layer.

4. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the epoxy compound is a combination of a first epoxy compound including one or more epoxidized aliphatic ring group, and a second epoxy compound including one or more glycidyl ether group.

5. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the cationic adhesive further comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of a silane coupling agent, a vinyl compound, and a radical polymerization monomer.

6. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the primer composition comprises 1 part to weight to 50 parts by weight of the urethane polymer, 0.1 part by weight to 10 parts by weight of the water-dispersed fine particles, and a balance of the water.

7. The double-sided polarizer of claim 6 , wherein the primer composition further comprises a cross-linking agent.

8. The double-sided polarizer of claim 1 , wherein the primer layer is 100 nm to 1 μm thick.
