Abstract

Provided are a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, an optical member, a polarizing plate and a display device. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition having physical properties required for an optical member using a particular block copolymer and an antioxidant or a photostabilizer, which forms a fine phase change region in a crosslinking structure, and particularly having excellent bending preventability and storage stability may be provided. Such a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may be used for optical uses, for example, to laminate various optical members, or apply an optical member to a display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate, comprising:
a polarizer; and
a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one or both surfaces of the polarizer, and including a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which is crosslinked, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition prior to crosslinking comprises:
a block copolymer, which is a diblock copolymer including a first block having a glass transition temperature of 70 to 95° C. and a second block having a glass transition temperature of −55 to −45° C. and a crosslinkable functional group; and
an antioxidant,
wherein the first block has a polymerization unit of an alkyl methacrylate, and the second block has a polymerization unit of an alkyl acrylate and a crosslinkable monomer,
wherein the block copolymer includes 100 to 1,500 parts by weight of the second block with respect to 100 parts by weight of the first block, and
wherein the antioxidant is at least one selected from the group consisting of a phenol-based antioxidant and a thioether-based antioxidant,
wherein the antioxidant is included at 0.01 to 3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the block copolymer, and
wherein a viscosity change of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition prior to crosslinking after being maintained at 60° C. for 30 days is 5% or less.

2. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein a difference in glass transition temperature between the first and second blocks of the block copolymer is 80 to 150° C.

3. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the first block has a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 200,000.

4. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the block copolymer has a number average molecular weight of 50,000 to 300,000.

5. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 , wherein the block copolymer has a polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) of 1.0 to 3.0.

6. The pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 , further comprising a multifunctional crosslinking agent.

7. A pressure-sensitive adhesive optical laminate, comprising:
an optical film; and
a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one or both surfaces of the optical film and including a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, which is crosslinked, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition prior to crosslinking comprises:
a block copolymer, which is a diblock copolymer including a first block having a glass transition temperature of 70 to 95° C. and a second block having a glass transition temperature of −55 to −45° C. and a crosslinkable functional group; and
an antioxidant,
wherein the first block has a polymerization unit of an alkyl methacrylate, and the second block has a polymerization unit of an alkyl acrylate and a crosslinkable monomer,
wherein the block copolymer includes 100 to 1,500 parts by weight of the second block with respect to 100 parts by weight of the first block, and
wherein the antioxidant is at least one selected from the group consisting of a phenol-based antioxidant and a thioether-based antioxidant,
wherein the antioxidant is included at 0.01 to 3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the block copolymer, and
wherein a viscosity change of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition prior to crosslinking after being maintained at 60° C. for 30 days is 5% or less.

8. A display device comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive optical laminate of claim 7 .

9. A display device comprising the pressure-sensitive adhesive polarizing plate of claim 1 .
