Pressure-sensitive adhesive for polarizing plates, polarizing plate having pressure-sensitive adhesive and production process for the polarizing plate

Abstract

There are disclosed a pressure-sensitive adhesive for polarizing plates which is formed by irradiating a pressure-sensitive adhesive material with an active energy beam, the material containing an acrylic copolymer (A) and an acrylic copolymer bearing an active energy beam-polymerizable group on a side chain (B), and which has a storage elastic modulus (G′) at 23 ° C. in the range of 0.3 to 10 MPa: a polarizing plate which is having a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and which comprises a layer composed of the above pressure-sensitive adhesive; and a process for the production of the polarizing plate having a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which comprises sticking a polarizing plate on a pressure-sensitive adhesive material layer formed on a releasing layer of a releasing sheet, and thereafter irradiating the polarizing plate with an active energy-beam from the releasing sheet side. The pressure-sensitive adhesive for polarizing plates is characterized in that it can favorably sticking a polarizing plate to a liquid crystal cell and that a resultant liquid crystal display unit is less liable to cause light leakage even in an environment of high temperature and high humidity.
