Abstract

The design trend of information technology is quickly changed with the times. The design trend of information display is a bezel-less display, recently. The bezel-less display or edge-less display is a new trend of mobile phone display. In this study, the shading tape was manufactured for assembling process of touch panel display with the high screen-to-body ratio so-called bezel-less display. The shading tape was fabricated on PET film with the UV curable acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive(PSA) by roll-to-roll process. The UV curable PSA was synthesized with the eco-friendly toluene-less manufacturing method. The adhesive power of manufactured shading tape was investigated by motorized tensile testing machine. The thixotropic, maintaining property of cutting shape, was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope. As results, the shading tape exhibits high adhesive power and good thixotropic performance suitable for assembly process of touch panel display. The functional shading tape will be expected to improve productivity of assembly process of touch panel display.

정보기술의 디자인 트렌드는 시대에 따라 빠르게 변해왔으며, 최근의 정보 디스플레이의 디자인 트렌드는 베젤리스 디스플레이가 대세이다. 베젤리스 또는 에지리스 디스플레이는 휴대폰 디스플레이의 새로운 트렌드로 부상하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이른바 베젤리스 디스플레이라고 불리는 기기 면적 대비 높은 화면 비율을 갖는 터치패널 디스플레이의 조립 공정에 적합한 차광 테이프를 개발하였다. 차광 테이프는 자외선 경화형 아크릴계 감압성 점착제를 PET 필름 위에 롤투롤 공정으로 코팅하여 제조하였다. 자외선 경화형 감압성 점착제는 톨루엔을 전혀 사용하지 않는 친환경적인 제조 방법으로 합성되었다. 제조된 차광 테이프의 점착력은 자동화된 인장시험기로 분석하였으며, 형상유지 특성인 칙소성은 주사 전자 현미경으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 제조된 차광 테이프는 터치패널 디스플레이의 조립 공정에 적합한 높은 점착력과 우수한 칙소성을 나타내었다. 이러한 기능성 차광 테이프의 개발은 그 동안 차광 테이프의 칙소성 부족으로 인하여 야기되었던 터치 패널 디스플레이 조립 공정의 생산성향상 및 품질안정성 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
