Abstract:
A method of making a display assembly includes the steps of (a) attaching a first substrate and a second substrate with an optically clear heat activated adhesive to form a laminate. Each of the first and second substrate has opposing major surfaces. At least one of the first and second substrate has a three dimensional surface topography covering at least a portion of one of its major surfaces or is distortion sensitive. At a heat activation temperature, the adhesive is pressure sensitive. The method also includes heating the laminate to the heat activation temperature of the adhesive causing the adhesive to flow. The activation temperature is greater than 40°C and less than 120°C.
Abstract:
An adhesive sheet includes an adhesive layer including a surface provided with a fine structure. The fine structure includes a plurality of convex structures. Each of the convex structures includes two or more parts joined to each other via an interface. The two or more parts include a first part present at a top of the convex structure and made from an adhesive material, and a second part present in a lower side of the first part. The second part is harder than the first part. The adhesive sheet provides a gap between adjacent ones of convex structures of the adhesive sheet after the convex structures are applied to a subject.

Abstract:
A micro-structured optically clear adhesive, including a first major surface and a second major surface, wherein at least one of the first and second major surfaces comprises a micro- structured surface of interconnected micro-structures in at least one of the planar dimensions (x-y), is disclosed. The micro-structured optically clear adhesive has a tan delta value of at least about 0.3 at a lamination temperature and is non-crosslinked or lightly crosslinked. The micro- structured surface may include indentations having a depth of between about 5 and about 80 microns. A method of laminating a first substrate and a second substrate without the use of a vacuum is provided. The method includes providing a micro-structured optically clear adhesive, removing a release liner from a first side of the micro-structured optically clear adhesive, contacting the first side of the micro-structured optically clear adhesive with a surface of the first substrate, removing a micro-structured release liner from a second side of the micro-structured optically clear adhesive to expose a micro-structured surface, and contacting the micro- structured surface with a surface of the second substrate.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an image display device includes: providing an image display unit having an image display surface; providing a translucent protective material having a light-shielding portion; disposing a liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA) between the image display surface of the image display unit and the translucent protective material; and curing the LOCA to adhere the image display unit with the translucent protective material. The LOCA is a two-part redox-type adhesive composed of a first composition including a first base agent containing a compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and a polymerization initiator and a second composition including a second base agent containing a compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and a reducing agent capable of decomposing the polymerization initiator.
