A low viscosity polymer having a linear or branched backbone derived from farnesene monomers and at least one terminal-end functionalized with a hydroxyl group. This polymer may be further hydrogenated to reduce unsaturation and acrylated, such that it may be incorporated into a LOCA composition. The LOCA composition may be used in a laminated screen assembly, such as a touch screen, for electronic devices by adhering the LOCA composition between an optically transparent layer, such as a cover glass, and a display. The cured LOCA composition has a refractive index similar to the optically transparent layer. A method of making the low viscosity polymer for the LOCA composition includes anionically polymerizing farnesene monomers, quenching a living end of the polymer to provide the hydroxyl-terminated polymer; hydrogenating the hydroxyl-terminated polymer; and reacting the at least partially saturated hydroxyl-terminated polymer with at least one reagent to provide an acrylate terminated hydrogenated polymer.

In the case where a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a refractive index adjustment zone is provided in such a manner that two PET separators are laminated to opposite surfaces of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is difficult to distinguish between obverse and reverse sides of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet itself. The present invention is directed to solving the above problems and, specifically, to offering a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a refractive index adjustment zone capable of being easily produced at low cost, in a state in which it is preliminarily laminated with a substrate provided with an electroconductive layer, thereby making it possible to resolve complexity in handling (to easily distinguish between one surface defined by the refractive index adjustment zone and the other surface defined by the remaining zone).
