Description

Photopolymerization initiator, sealing agent for display element, vertical conduction material, display element, and compound
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a photopolymerization initiator having excellent reactivity with light having a long wavelength. The present invention also relates to a sealing agent for a display element, which contains the photopolymerization initiator, has excellent curability with respect to light having a long wavelength, and has excellent low liquid crystal contamination when used in a liquid crystal display element; and a vertical conduction material and a display element using the sealing agent for a display element. The present invention also relates to a compound constituting the photopolymerization initiator.
Background
In recent years, as a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element such as a liquid crystal display unit, a liquid crystal dropping method called a dropping method using a photo-thermal curable sealing agent as disclosed in patent documents 1 and 2 has been used from the viewpoint of shortening the tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used.
In the one drop fill process, first, a frame-shaped seal pattern is formed on one of two transparent substrates with electrodes by dispensing. Next, in a state where the sealant is not cured, fine droplets of liquid crystal are dropped onto the entire inner surface of the frame of the transparent substrate, another transparent substrate is immediately bonded, and the sealing portion is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet light to perform precuring. Then, the liquid crystal is heated during annealing to perform main curing, thereby producing a liquid crystal display element. The one-drop fill process is currently the mainstream of a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element, and can manufacture a liquid crystal display element with extremely high efficiency if bonding of substrates is performed under reduced pressure.
However, in the modern day in which various mobile devices with liquid crystal panels such as mobile phones and portable game machines are widespread, miniaturization of the devices is the most demanding issue. As a method for downsizing the device, narrowing of the frame of the liquid crystal display portion, for example, an operation of disposing the position of the sealing portion under the black matrix (hereinafter, also referred to as narrow frame design) is performed.
However, in the narrow-frame design, since the sealant is disposed directly below the black matrix, if the one-drop process is performed, light irradiated when photocuring the sealant is blocked, and there is a problem that light cannot reach the inside of the sealant and curing becomes insufficient. If the curing of the sealant is insufficient in this manner, uncured sealant components elute into the liquid crystal, and the curing reaction due to the eluted sealant components proceeds in the liquid crystal, thereby causing a problem of contamination of the liquid crystal.
In addition, although ultraviolet irradiation is generally performed as a method of photocuring a sealant, there is a problem that, particularly in a liquid crystal dropping process, since the sealant is cured after dropping a liquid crystal, the liquid crystal is deteriorated by irradiation with ultraviolet rays. Therefore, in order to prevent deterioration of liquid crystal due to ultraviolet rays, photo-curing is performed using light having a long wavelength in the visible light region via a cut filter or the like. As a method of photocuring a sealant by using light of a long wavelength, a method of using a sensitizer having high sensitivity to light of a long wavelength in combination with a photopolymerization initiator is conceivable. For example, patent documents 3 and 4 disclose photocurable resin compositions in which a photopolymerization initiator and a sensitizer are combined. However, when these photocurable resin compositions are used as a sealing agent for a liquid crystal display element, there is a problem that the total amount of the photopolymerization initiator and the sensitizer becomes large in order to sufficiently perform photocuring by light of a long wavelength, and thus liquid crystal contamination may occur.

(photo-curing)
1 part by weight of spacer particles (Micropearl SI-H050, manufactured by Water chemical industries, ltd.) was dispersed in 100 parts by weight of each of the sealing materials for display elements obtained in examples and comparative examples. Next, the sealant was filled in a syringe for dispensing ("PSY-10E" manufactured by Musashi Engineering inc., and subjected to defoaming treatment, and then coated on a glass substrate using a dispenser ("SHOTMASTER 300") to form a sealant. Glass substrates of the same size were bonded to the substrates under a reduced pressure of 5Pa by a vacuum bonding apparatus. The sealant portion of the attached glass substrate was irradiated with 100mW/cm using a metal halide lamp 2 For 10 seconds. The light irradiation is performed through a cut-off filter (400 nm cut-off filter) for cutting off light having a wavelength of 400nm or less.
FT-IR measurement of the sealant was performed using an infrared spectrometer (FTS 3000, manufactured by BIORAD), and the amount of change in the peak value derived from the (meth) acryloyl group before and after light irradiation was measured. Photocurability was evaluated by setting "x" to a value of 85% or more reduction of the peak value derived from a (meth) acryloyl group after light irradiation, "o" to a value of 70% or more reduction and less than 85%, a value of 60% or more reduction and less than 70%, and a value of 60% or less reduction of the peak value derived from a (meth) acryloyl group after light irradiation.
(Low liquid Crystal contamination)
1 part by weight of spacer particles (Micropearl SI-H050, manufactured by Water chemical industries, ltd.) was dispersed in 100 parts by weight of each of the sealing materials for display elements obtained in examples and comparative examples. Next, the sealant in which the spacer particles were dispersed was applied to the substrate with the polished alignment film and the transparent electrode by a dispenser so that the line width reached 1 mm.
Subsequently, minute droplets of liquid crystal (JC-5004 LA, manufactured by Chisso Corporation) were applied dropwise to the entire inner surface of the frame of the sealant of the substrate with the transparent electrode, and the color filter substrate with the transparent electrode was immediately bonded. Then, the sealant portion was irradiated with 100mW/cm using a metal halide lamp 2 The resultant was cured for 30 seconds, and further heated at 120 ℃ for 1 hour to obtain a liquid crystal display element. The light irradiation is performed through a cut-off filter (400 nm cut-off filter) for cutting off light having a wavelength of 400nm or less.
In the liquid crystal display element, the liquid crystal display element (without light-shielding portion) in which the sealant was completely irradiated with light and the liquid crystal display element (with light-shielding portion) in which the sealant was applied to the black matrix of the color filter substrate so as to occupy 50% of the line width were manufactured by controlling the application position of the sealant by a dispenser.

The resultant liquid crystal display element was visually observed to find the liquid crystal alignment disorder (display unevenness) after applying a voltage of 1000 hours at 80 ℃ after performing a 100-hour operation test.
The low liquid crystal contamination was evaluated by "x" in the case where no display unevenness was observed in the liquid crystal display element at all, "o" in the case where a slightly light display unevenness was observed in the vicinity of the sealant (peripheral portion) of the liquid crystal display element, "Δ" in the case where a significantly severe display unevenness was present in the peripheral portion, and "x" in the case where the significantly severe display unevenness was spread not only in the peripheral portion but also in the central portion.
Note that the liquid crystal display elements evaluated as "cyc" and "smal" are levels that have no practical problem at all, the liquid crystal display element evaluated as "Δ" is a level that may have a problem depending on the display design, and the liquid crystal display element evaluated as "x" is a level that cannot withstand practical use.
