Abstract

The present invention provides an optical film comprising a substrate including a photoluminescent material and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the substrate. The optical film according to the present invention can not only enhance the visibility of a laser pointer when the laser pointer is pointed on a display having the optical film adhered thereto, but also suppresses the generation of bubbles when adhered to an antiglare-treated display having fine asperities on its surface to prevent the deterioration of visibility, and can also have an excellent transmissive clarity and be easily attached and detached.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An optical film comprising
a substrate including a photoluminescent material and
an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the substrate,
wherein the refractive index of the adhesive layer is larger than the refractive index of the substrate, and the difference in refractive index between the adhesive layer and the substrate is within a range of 0.1 to 0.3.

2. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein the photoluminescent material is a material emitting light by ultraviolet rays and the maximum excitation wavelength thereof is within a range of 300 to 450 nm.

3. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein the photoluminescent material is a material discolored by ultraviolet rays and the maximum excitation wavelength thereof is within a range of 300 to 450 nm.

4. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein the photoluminescent material is a material emitting light by infrared rays and the maximum excitation wavelength thereof is within a range of 700 to 1600 nm.

5. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer has a storage elastic modulus (G′) at 23° C. of 1.0×10 3 Pa to 1.0×10 6 Pa.

6. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is formed of an adhesive composition comprising an adhesive resin, a crosslinking agent and an additive.

7. The optical film of claim 6 , wherein the adhesive resin is an acryl-based copolymer, an urethane-based copolymer or a silicone rubber.

8. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein an initial adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is 0.005 to 0.1 N/25 mm in a state where the adhesive layer is attached to an antiglare film.

9. The optical film of claim 1 , wherein a heating adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is 0.005 to 1 N/25 mm in a state where the adhesive layer is attached to an antiglare film.

10. An image display device comprising the optical film according to claim 1 .

11. The image display device of claim 10 , wherein a transmissive clarity of the image display device is at least 240.

12. The optical film of claim 1 further comprising a release film on the adhesive layer.
