Description

Sealing agent for liquid crystal display element, vertical conduction material, and liquid crystal display element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sealant for a liquid crystal display element, which has excellent storage stability and curability and can suppress the occurrence of display defects even when used for a thin liquid crystal display element. The present invention also relates to a vertical conduction material and a liquid crystal display element using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element.
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 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 substrates with electrodes by dispensing. Next, in a state where the sealant is not cured, fine droplets of liquid crystal are dropped into a frame of the seal pattern, another substrate is stacked under vacuum, and then the sealant is cured to fabricate a liquid crystal display element. This one drop fill process is currently the mainstream of a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element.
However, in the modern day in which various mobile devices with liquid crystal panels such as mobile phones and portable game machines are increasingly 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-edge design, since the sealant is disposed directly below the black matrix, if the dropping process is performed, light irradiated when the sealant is photocured is blocked, and it is difficult for the light to reach the inside of the sealant, and the curing becomes insufficient in the conventional sealant. As described above, if the curing of the sealant becomes insufficient, there is a problem in that: the uncured sealant component is eluted into the liquid crystal, and liquid crystal contamination is likely to occur.
As described above, when it is difficult to cure the sealant by light, it is conceivable to cure the sealant by heating, and as a method for curing the sealant by heating, an operation of adding a thermosetting agent to the sealant is performed. However, when a heat curing agent having high reactivity to heat is used in order to improve curability of the sealant, storage stability of the resulting sealant may be deteriorated.
In addition, in recent years, thinning of a liquid crystal display element has been advanced, but when a conventional sealant is used for a thin liquid crystal display element, there is a problem that a display failure may occur.

Problems to be solved by the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sealing agent for a liquid crystal display element, which has excellent storage stability and curability, and which can suppress the occurrence of display defects even when used in a thin liquid crystal display element. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a vertical conduction material and a liquid crystal display element using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element.
Means for solving the problems
The present invention is a sealant for a liquid crystal display element, comprising a curable resin and a heat-curing agent, wherein the heat-curing agent comprises a compound (A) having the following characteristics (a), (b), (c) and (d),
(a) having a hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound residue,
(b) Having an isocyanate compound residue,
(c) Having a structure represented by the following formula (1),
(d) Has no isocyanate group.
That is, the present invention is a sealant for a liquid crystal display element, comprising a curable resin and a heat-curing agent, wherein the heat-curing agent contains a compound having a hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound residue, an isocyanate compound residue, and a structure represented by the following formula (1) and having no isocyanate group.
Figure BDA0002603186030000021
In the formula (1), the bonding position is represented by the formula.
The present invention will be described in detail below.
In response to the thinning of liquid crystal display elements, the use of liquid crystals containing liquid crystal molecules having polar groups such as fluorine groups, chlorine groups, and cyano groups as liquid crystals is becoming increasingly common. The inventor considers that: the reason why a display failure occurs when a conventional sealant is used in a thin liquid crystal display element is that the liquid crystal containing liquid crystal molecules having a polar group as described above has high compatibility with the sealant (particularly, compatibility with a thermosetting agent contained in the sealant), and therefore liquid crystal contamination is likely to occur. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and, as a result, have found that: the present inventors have completed the present invention by providing a sealant for a liquid crystal display element, which has excellent storage stability and curability and can suppress the occurrence of display defects even when used for a thin liquid crystal display element, by using a heat curing agent having a specific structure.
In addition, since the sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention is a sealant having lower compatibility with a conventional liquid crystal that does not include liquid crystal molecules having a polar group, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of display defects in a liquid crystal display element using such a conventional liquid crystal.
The sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention contains a thermosetting agent.
The thermosetting agent includes the compound (a) having the above-described characteristics (a), (b), (c), and (d) (hereinafter, also referred to as "the thermosetting agent according to the present invention"). The sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention is excellent in storage stability and curability by containing the heat-curing agent of the present invention, and can suppress the occurrence of display defects even when used for a thin liquid crystal display element.
In the present specification, the "residue" refers to: the structure of the portion other than the functional group to be bonded in the raw material component. Specifically, the "hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound residue" in the above feature (a) of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is: the structure derived from the hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound is a structure of a portion other than the hydrazide group in the hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound, that is, a structure of a portion remaining without reacting with the isocyanate group. In the feature (b) of the thermosetting agent of the present invention, the "isocyanate compound residue" means: the structure derived from the isocyanate compound is a structure of a portion other than the isocyanate group in the isocyanate compound, that is, a structure of a portion remaining without reacting with a hydrazide group. Since the heat-curing agent of the present invention has the above feature (d), that is, has no isocyanate group, all isocyanate groups of the isocyanate compound contribute to the formation of the structure represented by the above formula (1).
The hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound which is a source of the hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound residue in the above feature (a) is preferably a compound having a hydroxyl group and 2 or more hydrazide groups in 1 molecule, and the isocyanate compound which is a source of the isocyanate compound residue in the above feature (b) is preferably a compound having 2 or more isocyanate groups in 1 molecule.
The structure represented by the formula (1) in the above feature (c) is derived from a hydrazide group of the above hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound and an isocyanate group of the above isocyanate compound. The heat-curing agent of the present invention has the structure represented by formula (1), and thus the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element has an excellent effect of achieving both liquid crystal staining properties and curability.
Specific examples of the hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound include malic acid dihydrazide, tartaric acid dihydrazide, and 2-hydroxypropane-1, 2, 3-trimethylhydrazide. Among them, malic acid dihydrazide and tartaric acid dihydrazide are preferable.
Specific examples of the isocyanate compound include hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and toluene diisocyanate. Among them, hexamethylene diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate are preferable.
The lower limit of the molecular weight of the thermosetting agent of the present invention is preferably 300. The molecular weight of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is 300 or more, so that the heat-curing agent has sufficient solubility in a curable resin, and the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element is more excellent in low liquid crystal contamination. A more preferred lower limit of the molecular weight of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is 350.
From the viewpoint of workability of the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element, the upper limit of the molecular weight of the thermosetting agent of the present invention is preferably 2000.
The molecular weight of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is determined by the structural formula for a compound having a definite molecular structure, and may be expressed by a weight average molecular weight for a compound having a wide distribution of polymerization degrees and a compound having an indefinite modified portion. In the present specification, the "weight average molecular weight" is a value obtained by measuring by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent and converting into polystyrene. Examples of the column used for measuring the weight average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene by GPC include Shodex LF-804 (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.).
Specifically, the thermosetting agent of the present invention includes, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (2).
Figure BDA0002603186030000051
In the formula (2), R1Each independently is a hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound residue, R2Is the residue of an isocyanate compound.
Examples of the method for producing the thermosetting agent of the present invention include the following methods.
That is, first, the hydroxyl group-containing hydrazide compound was dissolved in toluene in a three-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a stirrer, and stirred at 60 ℃. After the toluene solution of the isocyanate compound was added dropwise to the obtained solution, the mixture was stirred at 60 ℃ for 6 hours to effect a reaction. The thermosetting agent of the present invention can be obtained by filtering the obtained reaction solution to separate a solid, washing the obtained solid with water, and drying the washed solid.
The content of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is preferably 0.1 part by weight in the lower limit and 20 parts by weight in the upper limit, based on 100 parts by weight of the curable resin. When the content of the heat-curing agent of the present invention is 0.1 part by weight or more, the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element is more excellent in curability. By setting the content of the thermosetting agent of the present invention to 20 parts by weight or less, the storage stability of the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element becomes more excellent. The content of the thermosetting agent in the present invention is more preferably 1 part by weight at the lower limit, more preferably 18 parts by weight at the upper limit, still more preferably 2 parts by weight at the lower limit, still more preferably 15 parts by weight at the upper limit, still more preferably 3 parts by weight at the lower limit, still more preferably 12 parts by weight at the upper limit, particularly preferably 4 parts by weight at the lower limit, particularly preferably 10 parts by weight at the upper limit, and most preferably 8 parts by weight at the upper limit.

Further, since a liquid crystal display element produced using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention containing the titanium black as a light-shielding agent has sufficient light-shielding properties, it is possible to realize: a liquid crystal display element having high contrast without light leakage and excellent image display quality.
Examples of commercially available products among the above titanium blacks include titanium black manufactured by mitsubishi integrated materials corporation, and titanium black manufactured by gibberella chemical corporation.
Examples of the titanium black manufactured by Mitsubishi Integrated materials include 12S, 13M-C, 13R-N and 14M-C.

When the content of the light-shading agent is within this range, the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element can exhibit more excellent light-shading properties without significantly reducing the adhesiveness, strength after curing, and drawing properties of the sealant. The content of the light-shading agent is more preferably 10 parts by weight at the lower limit, more preferably 70 parts by weight at the upper limit, still more preferably 30 parts by weight at the lower limit, and still more preferably 60 parts by weight at the upper limit.

A liquid crystal display element using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention or the vertical conduction material of the present invention is also one aspect of the present invention.
Since the sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention has low compatibility with liquid crystal molecules having a polar group, the sealant has a more significant effect of suppressing display defects than conventional sealants when the liquid crystal display element of the present invention is a liquid crystal display element using a liquid crystal containing liquid crystal molecules having a polar group. That is, the liquid crystal display element of the present invention is preferably formed using a liquid crystal containing liquid crystal molecules having a polar group.

Curing ratio (%) < 100 × (1- (peak area of epoxy group after curing)/(peak area of epoxy group before curing))
Curability was evaluated by assuming that the curing rate was 90% or more as "o", that the curing rate was 70% or more and less than 90% as "Δ", and that the curing rate was less than 70% as "x".
(display Property of liquid Crystal display element)
Each of the liquid crystal display element sealants obtained in examples and comparative examples was applied to one of the two substrates with the polished alignment film and the transparent electrode by a dispenser so as to draw a square frame, thereby forming a seal pattern. A sealant for a liquid crystal display element is applied in dots on the inner side of the formed seal pattern.
Next, a minute droplet of liquid crystal (manufactured by tokyo chemical industry, "4-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile") containing liquid crystal molecules having a cyano group as a polar group was dropped onto the entire surface of the frame of the sealant applied to the substrate with the transparent electrode, and the other substrate was stacked in a vacuum. After the vacuum was released, the sealed portion of the outer frame was irradiated with 100mW/cm using a metal halide lamp2Ultraviolet light for 30 seconds. At this time, a mask is provided for the dot-coated sealant for liquid crystal display element so as not to be irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Then, liquid crystal annealing was performed at 120 ℃ for 1 hour to thermally cure the sealant for liquid crystal display element, thereby obtaining a liquid crystal display element.
After the obtained liquid crystal display element was applied with a voltage for 500 hours in an environment of 60 ℃ and 90% RH, disturbance of liquid crystal alignment (display unevenness) around the dispensed sealant for the liquid crystal display element was visually observed in the energized state.
"x" indicates a case where no display unevenness occurs; a case where the display unevenness occurred but disappeared immediately after the occurrence was assumed to be "o"; "Δ" represents a case where the display unevenness with a distance to the seal edge of 1mm or less remained; the display performance of the liquid crystal display element was evaluated by setting "x" to the case where the display unevenness was left with a distance of more than 1mm to the seal edge.
