ADHESIVE COMPOSITION, AND POLARIZING PLATES AND LCDS UTILIZING THE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION

摘要

The present invention relates to an adhesive composition and polarizing plates and LCDs utilizing the adhesive composition, more particularly, to an adhesive composition comprising (A) an acrylic-based copolymer; and (B) an optically anisotropic liquid phase compound containing a mesogenic core in the structure thereof.  Among structures according to the invention, an optically anisotropic liquid phase compound containing a mesogenic core has excellent solubility and has high compatibility with an adhesive resin, and an adhesive composition containing the same therefore relieves the stress generated by the contraction of a polarizing plate and optically compensates the negative birefringence in an effective manner.  Accordingly, a light leakage phenomenon due to stress concentration may be prevented from occurring in polarizing plates and LCDs utilizing the adhesive composition, even with long term use thereof.
