Description

Sealing agent for organic EL display element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sealing agent for an organic EL display element, which can be easily applied by an ink jet method, has excellent low outgassing properties, and can provide an organic EL display element having excellent reliability.
Background
An organic electroluminescence (hereinafter also referred to as "organic EL") display element has a laminate structure in which an organic light emitting material layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes facing each other, and electrons are injected from one electrode into the organic light emitting material layer and holes are injected from the other electrode into the organic light emitting material layer, whereby the electrons and the holes are combined in the organic light emitting material layer and light is emitted. Since the organic EL display element emits light in this manner, the organic EL display element has the following advantages as compared with a liquid crystal display element or the like that requires a backlight: the device has good visibility, can be thinned, and can be driven by DC low voltage.
The organic light-emitting material layer and the electrode constituting the organic EL display device have a problem that their characteristics are easily deteriorated by moisture, oxygen, or the like. Therefore, in order to obtain a practical organic EL display element, it is necessary to isolate the organic light-emitting material layer and the electrode from the atmosphere to achieve a long life. Patent document 1 discloses a method of sealing an organic light emitting material layer and an electrode of an organic EL display element with a laminated film of a silicon nitride film and a resin film formed by a CVD method. Here, the resin film has an effect of preventing the organic layer and the electrode from being pressed by the internal stress of the silicon nitride film.
In the method of sealing with a silicon nitride film disclosed in patent document 1, the organic light emitting material layer and the electrode may not be completely covered when the silicon nitride film is formed due to irregularities on the surface of the organic EL display element, adhesion of foreign matter, occurrence of cracks due to internal stress, and the like. If the coverage based on the silicon nitride film is incomplete, moisture penetrates into the organic light emitting material layer through the silicon nitride film.
As a method for preventing moisture from entering into the organic light emitting material layer, patent document 2 discloses a method of alternately depositing an inorganic material film and a resin film, and patent documents 3 and 4 disclose a method of forming a resin film on an inorganic material film.
As a method for forming a resin film, there is a method in which a sealant is applied to a substrate by an ink jet method and then cured. If a coating method based on such an ink jet method is used, a resin film can be uniformly formed at high speed. However, when the viscosity of the sealing agent is made low so as to make the sealing agent suitable for application by an ink jet method, there are problems such as the following: the organic EL display device is likely to be degassed or not stably ejected from the ink jet device, and the sealing is insufficient, which deteriorates the reliability of the obtained organic EL display device.

The present invention is described in detail below. The sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention 1 is described as "the sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention", in terms of the same matters as the sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention 2.
The present inventors have further studied to set the volatility at 25 ℃ to a specific range for a sealant for an organic EL display element having excellent ink-jet coatability.

The sealing agent for an organic EL display element of the present invention can be applied by a non-heating type ink jet method or by a heating type ink jet method as an ink jet method.
In the present specification, the "non-heating type ink jet method" is a method of performing ink jet coating at a coating head temperature of less than 28 ℃, and the "heating type ink jet method" is a method of performing ink jet coating at a coating head temperature of 28 ℃ or higher.
In the above-described heating type ink jet method, an ink jet coating head equipped with a heating mechanism is used. By mounting the heating mechanism on the inkjet application head, viscosity and surface tension can be reduced when the sealant for the organic EL display element is discharged.

By setting the heating temperature of the coating head within this range, the viscosity of the sealant for an organic EL display element can be prevented from increasing with time, and the discharge stability is further improved.
The lower limit of the viscosity of the sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention 1 is 5mPa · s, and the upper limit is 50mPa · s. When the viscosity is in this range, the coating can be favorably performed by an ink jet method.
In the present specification, the viscosity is a value measured at 25 ℃ and 100rpm using an E-type viscometer.
When the coating is performed by the non-heating inkjet method, the viscosity of the sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention has a preferable lower limit of 5mPa · s and a preferable upper limit of 20mPa · s.

The surface tension is a value measured by a dynamic wettability tester at 25 ℃ by the Wilhelmy method.
The upper limit of the volatilization rate of the sealant for an organic EL display element after 4 days at 25 ℃ is 1%. By setting the volatilization rate after 4 days at 25 ℃ to 1% or less, the obtained sealing agent for an organic EL display element is excellent in low outgassing property and the obtained organic EL display element is excellent in reliability. The upper limit of the volatilization rate after 4 days at 25 ℃ is preferably 0.5%, and the more preferred upper limit is 0.1%.
The above-mentioned volatility at 25 ℃ is most preferably 0%.
The above-mentioned volatilization rate after 4 days at 25 ℃ can be calculated as follows: a plastic brown container having a diameter of 33mm and a capacity of 50mL was charged with about 10g of the organic EL display element sealant, and the weight (A) of the container was measured, and the weight (B) of the container left in this state for 4 days without covering the container under a yellow lamp atmosphere at 25 ℃ under 1 atmosphere and 50% RH was calculated from the following equation.
