Abstract
Provided are a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a protective film, an optical device, and a display device. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may exhibit suitable low speed and high speed peel-off strengths after forming a crosslinking structure, and have an excellent balance between them. Accordingly, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may exhibit an excellent protective effect when applied to a protective film, may be easily peeled in a high speed peel-off and thus advantageous for the high speed process, and may exhibit an excellent antistatic characteristic.
Claims15
An optical device having a surface,
- wherein a protective film is adhered to the surface,
- wherein the protective film comprises a base film for protecting the surface and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one surface of the base film,
- wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises a crosslinked pressure-sensitive adhesive composition,
- wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises:
- a polymer comprising a polymerization unit of a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate in which an alkyl group has 1 carbon atom or 2 carbon atoms and a polymerization unit of a monomer represented by Formula 1;
- and an aliphatic isocyanate crosslinking agent,
- wherein the polymer does not include a polymerization unit induced from a carboxyl group-containing monomer,
- wherein crosslinking points of the polymer reacted with the crosslinking agent are only hydroxyl groups included in the polymerization unit of the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate in which the alkyl group has 1 carbon atom or 2 carbon atoms or the polymerization unit of the monomer represented by Formula 1, wherein a weight ratio of the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate in which the alkyl group has 1 carbon atom or 2 carbon atoms with respect to the monomer of Formula 1 in the polymer is more than 1 and not more than 5, and
- wherein the surface of the optical device has a surface energy of 30 mN/m or less, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the protective film is directly adhered on the surface having the surface energy of 30 mN/m or less:
- where the “Q” is hydrogen or an alkyl group, the “T” is an alkylene group, the “m” is a number ranging from 1 to 16, and a multiplication (m×c) of the “m” and the number (c) of carbon atoms in the alkylene group of the “T” is 4 or more.
