| abstract |
The invention provides an adhesive composition, an adhesive layer, an optical laminate and an image display device, wherein the adhesive composition can enable an upper layer to have excellent coating performance and good liquid crystal orientation performance after being formed into the adhesive layer. The adhesive composition of the present invention contains an adhesive, a polymerization initiator, a surfactant, and a photo-alignment agent, wherein the surfactant and the photo-alignment agent have functional groups capable of hydrogen bonding to each other, and either one of the hydrogen-bondable functional groups of the surfactant and the photo-alignment agent is a proton-donating functional group and the other is a proton-accepting functional group. |
