This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202110118168.2 filed on Jan. 28, 2021 and titled “Composite light-curing protective film and method of sticking the film and use thereof,” the disclosure of which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of film layers, and specifically relates to a composite light-curing protective film and a method of sticking the film and use thereof
The screen display structure of all kinds of 3C digital products currently used in the market mostly uses glass material, and the touch structure, which causes the screen area to be the place to be used and touched the most frequently, resulting in serious problems of the screen area to be scratched, dirty, and easily broken. If the mobile phone screen cannot be effectively protected, it will seriously affect the service life of the mobile phone screen or be directly damaged.
Currently, in order to prevent the occurrence of the above problems, various types of screen protective films appear on the market, including glass protective film, TPU protective film, and PET protective film. The use of these protective films can indeed play a basic protective role, but with the different performances and shapes of the screens of mobile phones, these protective films are inadequate and limited. For example, although the glass protective film can have drop resistance and scratch resistance, it cannot solve the fingerprint unlocking problem under the mobile phone screen. TPU protective film can solve the fingerprint unlocking problem under the phone screen, but the anti-scratch effect is poor. The PET protective film has drop resistance, scratch resistance and can solve the fingerprint unlocking problem under the mobile phone screen, but it is difficult to solve the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking to a mobile phone with a curved screen.
Therefore, it is difficult for the existing screen type protective film to balance the problems of drop resistance, scratch resistance, and stable sticking to curved surfaces.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a composite light-curing protective film and a method of sticking the film, so as to solve the technical problems of the existing protective film that it is difficult to achieve drop resistance, scratch resistance, and stable sticking.
In order to solve the above technical problems, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a composite light-curing protective film. The composite light-curing protective film includes a base film layer that provides support, a light-curing functional layer, and an adhesive layer, and the base film layer, the light-curing functional layer, and the adhesive layer are laminated in sequence to form a sandwich structure.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, a film sticking method is provided, including the following steps:
sticking the adhesive layer contained in the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure to the surface of the film to be stuck;
peeling off the base film layer contained in the composite light-curing protective film to expose the light-curing functional layer;
subjecting the exposed light-curing functional layer to light-curing treatment.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a method to use the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure. The composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure is used in display screens, functional glass and decorative films.
Compared with the prior art, the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure uses a light-curing functional layer as a functional film layer, which can effectively stick to other surfaces of the film to be stuck through the adhesive layer. In this way, the light-curing functional layer can effectively be stuck in conformity with the shape of the surface of the film. In this way, after the light-curing functional layer is cured by light, the light-curing functional layer can be effectively stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck, and the sticking stability can be ensured, without the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking. The base film layer contained in the composite light-curing protective film provides a substrate supporting effect for the light-curing functional layer on the one hand, and on the other hand can provide a mechanical effect for the light-curing functional layer to improve the convenience of surface sticking between the composite light-curing protective film and the film to be stuck, improve the sticking effect between the composite light-curing protective film and the surface to be stuck.
The film sticking method of the present disclosure directly sticks the adhesive layer contained in the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure to the surface of the film to be stuck, so that the light-curing functional layer can be stuck in conformity with the shape of the surface of the film to be stuck. After the photo-curing treatment, the photo-curing functional layer is cured, which will form a shape that completely matches the surface shape of the film to be stuck, thereby forming a protective film layer on the surface of the film to be stuck, and the protective film layer does not have the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
Since the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure has light-curing properties, after the light-curing treatment, the light-curing functional layer is cured to form a protective film layer that is completely matches the surface shape of the film to be stuck. Therefore, it can be effectively applied to display screens, functional glass and decorative films, and it is especially suitable for forming protective film on 2.5D and/or 3D display screens.

In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a composite light-curing protective film. The structure of the composite light-curing protective film of the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in
The base film layer 1 is used as the base layer structure of the composite light-curing protective film in the embodiment of the present disclosure, which is used to provide a substrate supporting function to the light-curing functional layer 2, while giving the composite light-curing protective film mechanical properties to facilitate the composite light-curing protective film to position and stick on the surface of the film to be stuck, thereby improving the convenience of sticking the composite light-curing protective film to the surface of the film to be stuck, and improving the sticking effect between the composite light-curing protective film and the surface of the film to be stuck.
In an embodiment, the thickness of the base film layer 1 is 0.07-0.12 mm, and further is 0.1-0.12 mm. By controlling and adjusting the thickness of the base film layer 1, the effect of the structure of the base layer is enhanced, and the mechanical properties of the composite light-curing protective film are optimized to improve the positioning and sticking of the composite light-curing protective film on the surface to be stuck.
In another embodiment, the base film layer 1 is an opaque or poorly transparent film layer, such as a frosted film layer. In this way, in order to shade light, prevent the light from passing through the base film layer 1 to the photo-curing functional layer 2 in case the photo-curing functional layer 2 is photo-cured, and to prevent the photo-curing functional layer 2 from being cured before the composite photo-curing protective film is not stuck to the film to be stuck. Of course, the base film layer can be light-transmitting. At this time, the composite light-curing protective film should be kept away from light before use, to maintain the stability of the light-curing functional layer 2 so as to prevent being cured before the light-curing functional layer 2 is stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck.
In a specific embodiment, the material of the base film layer 1 contains at least one of PET and PVC, such as a frosted PET film layer.
The light-curing functional layer 2 contained in the composite light-curing protective film is used as the functional film layer of the composite light-curing protective film, and it has both the performance to be cured by light and the light-curing performance. In this embodiment, it should be understood that the light-curing functional layer 2 is not light-cured. Only after the composite light-curing protective film is stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck, the light-curing functional layer 2 is cured and shaped by exposure. Therefore, the light-curing functional layer 2 serves as the functional film layer of the composite light-curing protective film, which can effectively stick to the surface of the film to be stuck through the adhesive layer 3. Since the photo-curing functional layer 2 is not photo-cured, the photo-curing functional layer 2 can be effectively stuck in conformity with the shape of the surface of the film to be stuck. When the light-curing functional layer 2 is cured by exposure, the light-curing functional layer 2 can be effectively stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck, and the sticking stability can be ensured, without the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
In the embodiment, the light-curing functional layer 2 is formed by film-forming a slurry containing the following parts by weight:
modified acrylic resin 25-35 parts;
polymethyl methacrylate 10-15 parts;
butyl acetate 15-25 parts;
ethyl acetate 15-25 parts;
isopropanol 10-20 parts;
photoinitiator 1-5 parts; and
additive 2-4 parts.
The light-curing functional layer 2 formed by film-forming of the slurry of the formula has high light-curing performance, short curing time, uniform film quality, good transparency, and enhances the display effect of the surface to be stuck.
In the embodiment, the additive is silica. By selecting the types of additives, the light-curing performance of the light-curing functional layer 2 can be improved, the light-curing time can be shortened, the setting performance of the light-curing functional layer 2 after light-curing can be improved, and the surface sticking between the composite light-curing protective film and the film to be stuck can be enhanced.
In another embodiment, the thickness of the light-curing functional layer 2 is 0.05-0.125 mm, and further is 0.07-0.08 mm. By controlling and adjusting the thickness of the light-curing functional layer 2, the protective film formed after the light-curing functional layer 2 is exposed to the light has scratch resistance and drop resistance, and is firmly stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck without peeling off.
The adhesive layer 3 contained in the composite light-curing protective film functions as an adhesive layer, so that the light-curing functional layer 2 can be firmly stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck. In the embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer 3 is 0.02-0.12 mm. By controlling and adjusting the thickness of the adhesive layer 3, on the basis of effectively improving its adhesive effect, the light transmittance of the composite light-curing protective film is improved.
In the embodiment, as shown in
In a further embodiment, the composite light-curing protective film of the foregoing embodiments further includes a first protective layer 4. As shown in
In a further embodiment, the composite light-curing protective film of the foregoing embodiments further includes a second protective layer 5. As shown in
Therefore, the composite light-curing protective film of the above embodiments is provided with a synergistic effect between the base film layer 1, the light-curing functional layer 2 and the adhesive layer 3, so that the composite light-curing protective film has a stable structure and can maintain a good light-curing performance and adhesion of the light-curing functional layer 2, making the composite light-curing protective film to be easily stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck, and the light-curing functional layer can be effectively stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck. Moreover, after the light-curing functional layer 2 is exposed and cured by light, the light-curing functional layer 2 can be effectively stuck to the surface of the film to be stuck, and the sticking stability can be ensured, without the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
In addition, the composite light-curing protective film of the above embodiments can prepare a layer structure according to the preparation method of the composite protective film, and then according to the lamination relationship of the layers contained in the composite light-curing protective film, the layers are stuck to prepare the composite light-curing protective film. Wherein, the light-curing functional layer 2 can be mixed with formula components contained in the light-curing functional layer 2 and then formed into a film according to a film forming process, such as directly forming a film on the surface of the base film layer 1.
Based on the structure and performance of the above composite light-curing protective film, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a film sticking method. The process flow of the film sticking method is shown in
S01: sticking the adhesive layer 3 contained in the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure embodiment above to the surface of the film to be stuck;
S02: peeling off the base film layer 1 contained in the composite light-curing protective film to expose the light-curing functional layer 2;
S03: subjecting the light-curing functional layer 2 exposed in step S02 to light-curing.
Wherein, the composite light-curing protective film in step S01 is the composite light-curing protective film of the present disclosure embodiment described above. Therefore, in order to be brief, the structure of the composite light-curing protective film and the thickness and materials of each layer will not be described here again. When the composite light-curing protective film contains the first protective layer 4 as shown in
In step S02, since the adhesive layer 2 has been stuck to the surface of the film in accordance with the filming requirements in step S01, the light-curing functional layer 2 cannot be influenced by the matrix mechanical action of the base film layer 1, so the base film layer 1 can be peeled off and removed, and peeling off the base film layer 1 can also directly expose the photo-curing functional layer 2 to facilitate the exposure processing of the photo-curing functional layer 2.
In step S03, the exposed light-curing functional layer 2 is exposed to light, so that the light-curing functional layer 2 is cured and shaped during the exposure process to form a protective film layer, and the cured protective film layer is stuck according on the shape of the surface to be stuck, which can ensure high sticking stability between the protective film layer and the surface of the film to be stuck, without the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
In the embodiment, the condition of the photo-curing treatment is the irradiation of an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength of 365 for 30-60 s.
Therefore, the above film sticking method can also be referred to as the method for using the composite light-curing protective film, which is to directly sticking the adhesive layer 3 contained in the composite light-curing protective film with the surface of the film to be stuck, so that the light-curing functional layer 2 can be stuck in conformity with the shape of the surface to be stuck. After the photo-curing treatment, the photo-curing functional layer 2 is cured and shaped, and it will form a shape that completely matches the surface shape of the film to be stuck, thereby forming a protective film layer on the surface of the film to be stuck, and the protective film layer will not have the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
Since each of the above composite light-curing protective films has light-curing properties, and after the light-curing treatment, the light-curing functional layer 2 is cured and forms a protective film layer that completely matches the surface shape of the film to be stuck, so it can be effectively applied for the preparation of display screens, functional glass, and decorative films, particularly suitable for forming protective films on 2.5D and/or 3D display screens. The decorative film can be, but not only a decorative film in the automotive field.
Based on the above composite light-curing protective film and its sticking method and its application, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a display screen, functional glass and decorative film. The outer surfaces of the display screen and the functional glass are stuck with the composite light-curing protective film described above, and the adhesive layer 3 contained in the composite light-curing protective film is stuck to the outer surface of the display screen.
The decorative film contains the composite light-curing protective film described above.
Since the display screen, functional glass and decorative film contain the above composite light-curing protective film, the protective film contained in the display screen and functional glass can be effectively stuck to the display screen body without peeling. The decorative film can be effectively stuck to the surface of the article to be decorated, and the sticking stability can be ensured, without the problems of bounce-back and the difficulty of sticking.
