2. Description of the Related Art
An adhesive tape having light-shielding property (hereinafter, referred to as a light-shielding adhesive tape) is conventionally known. Examples of the use of the light-shielding adhesive tape include light-shielding as attached to electronic equipment such as an IC chip where malfunction from light leakage occurs, or properties thereof change.
Patent Literature 1: JP 2011-214010 A
When an adhesive tape is attached to a light-shielding adherend, there may be a case where an adhesive tape having greater area than that of the light-shielding region of the adherend is be attached to the adherend, and then a process of excising an unnecessary portion is performed. Herein, in cutting the adhesive tape, the back face of the adherend, which is a side opposite to the face to which the adhesive tape is attached, is irradiated with backlight, and the shape of the adherend is grasped from the light that is permeated the adhesive tape, and a process of cutting the adhesive tape is performed in accordance with said shape.
However, when the above light-shielding adhesive tape is attached to the adherend, light is also blocked by the light-shielding adhesive tape at the time of irradiating the back face of the adherend with backlight, and thus it has been difficult to grasp the shape of the adherend through the adhesive tape. Therefore, there was a problem that it was not easy to cut the unnecessary portion of the light-shielding adhesive tape with irradiation of backlight.
The present invention has been done in view of such problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a translucent light-shielding tape having both of light-shielding property with regards to an adherend and translucency at the time of backlight irradiation.
An aspect of the present invention is a translucent light-shielding tape. Said translucent light-shielding tape is characterized by having a base material layer composed of a plastic material, a light-shielding layer laminated on one of the main surfaces of the base material layer, and an adhesive agent layer laminated on the other of the main surfaces of the base material layer, and having 0.010 to 10% of permeability with regards to light of 550 nm.
According to the translucent light-shielding tape of the above aspect, it is possible to render a translucent light-shielding tape to have both of light-shieldingproperty with regards to an adherend and translucency at the time of backlight irradiation.
In the translucent light-shielding tape of the above aspect, a thickness of the light-shielding layer may be 5 μm or less. The light-shielding layer maybe a black print layer. The plastic material may be polyethylene terephthalate. In addition, the adhesive agent layer may contain an acrylic-based polymer having (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester as a main monomer ingredient.
Furthermore, a suitable combination of the respective elements described above is encompassed within the scope of the invention for which the protection is sought by the patent by the present patent application.
The invention will now be described by reference to the preferred embodiments. This does not intend to limit the scope of the present invention, but to exemplify the invention.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures.
Furthermore, the permeability (%) of the translucent light-shielding tape 10 is calculated by irradiating one surface of the translucent light-shielding tape 10 with light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and measuring the intensity of light that is permeated the other face using a spectrophotometer manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd (device name: “U4100 Type spectrophotometer”).

Furthermore, these copolymerizable monomers may be used in one kind or two or more kinds.
When the acrylic-based polymer (A) contains copolymerizable monomers together with (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester as a main ingredient, carboxyl group-containing monomers may be suitably used. Among them, acrylic acids may be suitably used. The use amount of the copolymerizable monomer is not particularly limited, but may contain the copolymerizable monomer usually in 0.1 to 30 mass %, preferably 0.5 to 20 mass % and further preferably 1 to 15 mass % with respect to the total amount of the monomer ingredients for preparing the acrylic-based polymer (A).
By the copolymerizable monomer being contained in 0.1 mass % or more, it is possible to prevent decline of cohesion of the adhesive tape, and obtain high shearing force. In addition, by the copolymerizable monomer being contained in 30 mass % or less, it is possible to prevent too high cohesion, and improve sticky feeling at normal temperature (25° C.)
In addition, the acrylic-based polymer (A) may contain a multi-functional monomer as necessary in order to adjust cohesion of the adhesive agent layer 40 to be formed.

Among them, trimethylol propane tri(meth)acrylate, hexanediol di(meth)acrylate or dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate may be suitably used. The multi-functional (meth)acrylate may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
The use amount of the multi-functional monomer varies depending on the molecular weight, the number of functional groups and the like, but the multi-functional monomer is added to be 0.01 to 3.0 mass %, preferably 0.02 to 2.0 mass %, and further preferably 0.03 to 1.0 mass % with respect to the total amount of the monomer ingredients for preparing the acrylic-based polymer (A).
If the use amount of the multi-functional monomer is more than 3.0 mass % with respect to the total amount of the monomer ingredients for preparing the acrylic polymer (A), there are, for example, too much cohesion of the adhesive agent layer 40, and decline of adhesion, and the like. On the other hand, if the use amount of the multi-functional monomer is less than 0.01 mass %, there are, for example, decline of cohesion of the adhesive agent layer 40, and the like.

Particularly, the light polymerization initiator may be suitably used from an advantage of shortening the polymerization time, and the like. The polymerization initiator may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
Examples of the heat polymerization initiator include, for example, azo-based polymerization initiators [for example, 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis-2-methylbutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionic acid)dimethyl, 4,4′-azobis-4-cyanovaleric acid, azobisisovalero nitrile, 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride, 2,2′-azobis[2-(5-methyl-2-imidazoline-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride, 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionic amidine)disulfate, 2,2′-azobis(N,N′-dimethylene isobutyl amidine)dihydrochloride and the like], peroxide-based polymerization initiators (for example, dibenzoyl peroxide, t-butylpermaleate, lauroyl peroxide and the like), redox-based polymerization initiators, and the like.

Particularly among them, the acyl phosphine-based light polymerization initiator is preferably bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenyl phosphine oxide [manufactured by BASF Corporation, trade name: IRGACURE 819], bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-2,4-di-n-butoxyphenyl phosphine oxide, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenyl phosphine oxide [manufactured by BASF Corporation, trade name: Lucirin TPO], or bis(2,6-dimethoxybenzoyl)-2,4,4-trimethylpentyl phosphine oxide.
The use amount of the light polymerization initiator is notparticularly limited, but the light polymerization initiator is blended in an amount within a range of, for example, 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, preferably 0.05 to 3 parts by mass, and further preferably 0.08 to 2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the monomer ingredient for preparing the acrylic-based polymer (A).
Herein, if the use amount of the light polymerization initiator is less than 0.01 parts by mass, the polymerization reaction may be insufficient. If the use amount of the light polymerization initiator is more than 5 parts by mass, the light polymerization initiator absorbs ultraviolet rays, which may result that the ultraviolet rays do not reach the inside of the adhesive agent layer 40, and decline of the polymerization rate is led. The molecular weight of the produced polymer becomes small, leading to decrease of cohesion of the adhesive agent layer 40 formed, and a portion of the adhesive agent layer 40 may remain on the film when the adhesive agent layer 40 is released from the film, and the film may not be reutilized. Furthermore, the light polymerizable initiator may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
In adjustment of the cohesion, a crosslinking agent may be also used in addition to the multi-functional monomer described above. As the crosslinking agent, conventionally used crosslinking agent may be used, and examples of the crosslinking agent include, for example, an epoxy-based crosslinking agent, an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent, a silicone-based crosslinking agent, an oxazoline-based crosslinking agent, an aziridine-based crosslinking agent, a silane-based crosslinking agent, an alkyl etherified melamine-based crosslinking agent, a metal chelate-based crosslinking agent, and the like. Particularly, the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent or epoxy-based crosslinking agent may be suitably used.
Specifically, examples of the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent include tolylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate, tetramethyl xylylene diisocyanate, naphthalene diisocyanate, triphenyl methane triisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate, and an adduct thereof with polyols such as trimethylol propane.
Examples of the epoxy-based crosslinking agent include bisphenol A, the epichlorohydrin type of an epoxy-based resin, ethylene glycidyl ether, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, glycerin diglycidyl ether, glycerin triglycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol glycidyl ether, trimethylol propane triglycidyl ether, diglycidyl aniline, diamine glycidyl amine, N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-m-xylylene diamine and 1,3-bis(N,N-diglycidyl aminomethyl)cyclohexane and the like.
Various additives may be blended with the adhesive agent. Examples of such additives include, for example, a crosslinking agent such as an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent and an epoxy-based crosslinking agent; a tackifier such as a rosin derivative resin, a polyterpene resin, a petroleum resin and an oil-soluble phenol resin; a plasticizer; a filler; an antioxidant; a surfactant; a pigment (colorant), and the like.
A method of forming the adhesive agent layer 40 is not particularly limited, but for example, the adhesive agent layer 40 is formed by applying an adhesive agent onto a suitable support such as a separator and a base material to form the adhesive agent layer 40, and then subjecting the adhesive agent layer 40 to drying or curing (curing by heat or active energy line) as necessary. In addition, in performing the curing by active energy ray (light curing), oxygen is preferably blocked by attaching a suitable support such as a separator and a base material together onto the adhesive agent layer 40, or performing the light curing under nitrogen atmosphere, and the like, since the light polymerization reaction is inhibited with oxygen in the air. The suitable support used in formation of the adhesive agent layer 40 may be released at a suitable time when manufacturing the adhesive tape, or may be released when utilizing the adhesive tape after the manufacture.
The thickness of the adhesive agent layer 40 is suitably selected depending on the intended purpose of the adhesive tape, and is, for example, 1 to 300 μm, preferably 10 to 250 μm, and further preferably 30 to 200 μm or so. If the thickness of the adhesive agent layer 40 is too thin, sufficient adhesion may not be obtained in order to hold an adherend.
According to the translucent light-shielding tape 10 as described above, it is possible to obtain translucency at the time of backlight irradiation while ensuring sufficient light-shielding property with regards to an adherend that adheres to said tape. Therefore, by attaching a translucent light-shielding tape having greater size than that of an adherend, to the adherend, and then irradiating the side of the adhesive agent layer 40 with backlight, it is possible to grasp the shape of the adherend through the translucent light-shielding tape. Furthermore, based on the shape grasped, it is possible to cut the extraportion of the translucent light-shielding tape certainly and easily.

The backlight translucency of each adhesive tape of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 was evaluated with the method to be described below. The adhesive agent layer was attached to an adherend, and a columnar cylinder (diameter of circle: 80 mm, hight: 200 mm) was installed on the surface of the adhesive tape of the opposite side to the adhesive agent layer, and the side of the adhesive agent layer was irradiated with backlight (visible light). At this time, the location of the cylinder was regulated such that the end of the adherend was located in the cylinder.
The translucency was confirmed from the viewpoint whether the edge of the adherend could be found or not when the adhesive tape was visually observed through the columnar cylinder.
