Abstract

The present invention realizes a display device or input device having excellent ultraviolet protection property for the touch panel, display element or the like, while retaining optical characteristics, even when a small amount of or no optical film is used. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has a total light transmittance of 85% or more, a light transmittance at a wavelength of 380 nm of 5% or less, and a haze of 3% or less. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet preferably includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing an acrylic polymer and a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, having:
a total light transmittance of 85% or more;
a light transmittance at a wavelength of 380 nm of 5% or less; and
a haze of 3% or less, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises an acrylic polymer and a hydroxyphenyl triazine-based UV absorber,
wherein the acrylic polymer contains, as a monomer unit, at least one of an alkyl (meth)acrylate having a linear or branched alkyl group and an alkoxyalkyl (meth)acrylate,
wherein the acrylic polymer contains, as a monomer unit, a monomer containing a hydroxyl group in a molecule thereof,
wherein the proportion of the monomer containing a hydroxyl group in a molecule thereof is at least 13 wt % based on total monomer components (100 wt %) forming the acrylic polymer, and
the total light transmittance, light transmittance at 380 nm, and haze being measured wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet has a thickness of 50 μm;
wherein the acrylic polymer contains, as a monomer unit, a monomer containing a nitrogen atom in a molecule thereof; and
wherein the proportion of the monomer containing a nitrogen atom in a molecule thereof is 1 to 30 wt % based on total monomer components (100 wt %) forming the acrylic polymer.

2. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the acrylic polymer is contained in a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

3. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the content of the hydroxyphenyl triazine-based ultraviolet absorber is 1 to 10 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the acrylic polymer.

4. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a total of the proportion of the alkyl (meth)acrylate and the proportion of the alkoxyalkyl (meth)acrylate is 30 wt % or more based on total monomer components (100 wt %) forming the acrylic polymer.

5. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion of the monomer containing a hydroxyl group in a molecule thereof is 13 to 25 wt % based on total monomer components (100 wt %) forming the acrylic polymer.

6. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet according to claim 1 , which is an optical pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
