Description

Light scattering ink composition, light scattering laminated substrate, backlight unit, light scattering pixel substrate, and image display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a light scattering ink composition, a light scattering laminated substrate manufactured by using the same, a light scattering pixel substrate and an image display device.
Background
Recently, as one of methods for realizing a color filter of an image display device, a pigment dispersion method using a pigment dispersion type photosensitive resin is adopted. However, light irradiated from the light source is partially absorbed by the color filter during the process of passing through the color filter, which results in a decrease in light efficiency, and there is a problem in that color reproducibility is decreased due to the characteristics of the pigment contained in the color filter. Color reproduction rate is one of the most important elements in a display device. In recent years, as an example of a means for improving the color reproduction rate of a display device, a display device is used which uses blue LEDs instead of normal white LEDs and which includes a light scattering laminated substrate including quantum dots (quantum dots) as individual light conversion means. However, in the case of including quantum dots, efficiency of quantum dots, particularly efficiency of blue quantum dots, is lowered, and thus performance of a display device is lowered, and price of blue quantum dots is high, so there is a problem that overall manufacturing cost is increased. For this purpose, a pixel substrate has been proposed that uses a light source that emits blue light, a red pattern layer containing red quantum dot particles and a green pattern layer containing green quantum dot particles, and that includes a transparent pattern layer containing no quantum dot particles at positions corresponding to the blue pattern layer, whereby the red quantum dot particles emit red light and the green quantum dot particles emit green light, and the transparent pattern layer directly transmits the blue light to display blue. In order to ensure uniformity of transmitted light, such a transparent pattern layer contains scattering particles instead of quantum dots.
In korean registered patent publication No. 10-1764478, it is desired to provide a color conversion film excellent in brightness, uniformity, etc. of emitted light by laminating one or more layers of scattering particles in a color conversion layer provided on a transparent substrate and a light scattering layer provided on the color conversion layer. However, since the diameter of the plurality of scattering particles is 0.7 μm to 5 μm, there is a problem of sedimentation in the composition, and there is a problem of poor ejection properties when produced by an inkjet method.

< light-scattering ink composition >
The light scattering ink composition according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include one or more of the above-described first scattering particles, and may include a solvent or be solvent-free, as required, because the composition includes the first scattering particles, the second scattering particles, the photopolymerizable compound, and the photopolymerization initiator.
Scattering particles
The light scattering ink composition is characterized by comprising two or more scattering particles. The scattering particles may increase the path of light emitted from the light emitting particles by the scattering particles, thereby improving the overall light efficiency in the light conversion coating. The light scattering ink composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes first scattering particles and second scattering particles, and specifically, the first scattering particles may be inorganic particles having an average particle size of more than 100nm and less than 350nm, and the second scattering particles may be organic particles having an average particle size of more than 40nm and less than 400 nm. By mixing the scattering particles different from each other, the transmittance of the coating film can be improved, the light scattering (haze) characteristics can be improved, and excellent ejection characteristics can be exhibited to be easily applied to the inkjet coating method. In addition, one or more types of the first scattering particles may be further contained as needed.
In the present invention, the first scattering particles include inorganic particles, and the second scattering particles include organic particles, so that the following advantages are obtained: the high refractive index of the inorganic particles can provide excellent light scattering properties, and the compatibility of the organic particles with the ink composition can be increased to improve particle aggregation or to improve adhesion and ejection properties. In addition, by setting the average particle diameters of the first scattering particles and the second scattering particles to a specific range, the sedimentation property can be controlled in addition to the above advantages.
The scattering particles may be added to the light scattering ink composition in the form of a dispersion, and may be produced by adding the first scattering particles, the second scattering particles, the dispersing agent, and/or the photopolymerizable compound to the dispersion, and mixing and dispersing the mixture. The above-mentioned dispersant may contain a dispersant commonly used in the art within a range not impairing the effect of the present invention, and examples thereof include DISPERBYK-2001 (Pick (BYK) Co.) and the like. The photopolymerizable compound can be used as described below, and therefore, a description thereof will be omitted.
First scattering particles
The first scattering particles preferably have an average particle diameter of more than 100nm and less than 350nm, more preferably 150nm to 300 nm. When the average particle diameter of the first scattering particles is within the above range, the particles can be uniformly distributed in the light scattering ink composition, and when the particle diameter is too large to be equal to or larger than the above range, the particles may be settled in the composition, and problems may occur in forming a uniform coating film. In addition, the effect of having high transmittance and light scattering characteristics can be obtained.
The first scattering particles are preferably inorganic particles, and the inorganic particles may be, for example, oxides containing one metal selected from the group consisting of Li, be, B, na, mg, al, si, K, ca, sc, V, cr, mn, fe, ni, cu, zn, ga, ge, rb, sr, Y, mo, cs, ba, la, hf, W, tl, pb, ce, pr, nd, pm, sm, eu, gd, tb, dy, ho, er, tm, yb, ti, sb, sn, zr, nb, ce, ta, in and combinations thereof. Still preferably, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first scattering particles are preferably selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) Zinc oxide (ZnO), silicon oxide (SiO) 2 ) Barium sulfate (BaSO) 4 ) Zirconia (ZrO) 2 ) More than one kind of the group.
Second scattering particles
The second scattering particles preferably have an average particle diameter of 40nm to 400nm, more preferably 50nm to 350 nm. When the average particle diameter of the second scattering particles is within the above range, the composition can exhibit a uniform distribution degree, and the effects of improving particle aggregation and adhesion and ejection properties can be obtained, as in the case of the first scattering particles.
The first scattering particles are preferably organic particles, and the organic particles are preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of polymethyl methacrylate particles, acrylic particles, crosslinked acrylic particles, polystyrene particles, crosslinked styrene particles, acrylic-styrene copolymer particles, melamine particles, crosslinked melamine particles, benzoguanamine resin particles, polycarbonate particles, polyvinyl chloride particles, polyester resin particles, polyamide resin particles, polyolefin resin particles, and silicone resin particles.
The light scattering ink composition of the present invention may further contain one or more types of first scattering particles in addition to the first scattering particles and the second scattering particles. For example, when two or more types of first scattering particles are contained and the average particle diameters of the particles are different from each other, there is an advantage that the transmittance or the rate of change in light scattering characteristics can be adjusted according to the film thickness.
The content ratio of the first scattering particles to the second scattering particles is preferably 30:70 to 70:30, and may be included in a weight ratio of 40:60 to 60:40. When the first and second scattering particles satisfy the weight ratio range, the transmittance of the coating film can be improved, and the light scattering (haze) property can be improved. In particular, by controlling the sedimentation property, a light scattering ink composition having excellent ejection characteristics can be provided, and is therefore preferable.
The content of the scattering particles may be 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 3 to 45% by weight, and more preferably 3 to 40% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the total weight of the light scattering ink composition. In the case where the content of the scattering particles is within the above range, the light conversion efficiency can be improved. In the case of less than the above content range, light conversion efficiency is lowered and it may be difficult to realize a high-quality display device. If the content is more than the above-mentioned range, the component for realizing the curing is insufficient and the curing degree of the coating film is insufficient, whereby the productivity of the post-production process of the display device and the reliability of the product may be lowered.
Photopolymerizable compound
In the present invention, the photopolymerizable compound may include a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.
[ chemical formula 1]
In the above chemical formula 1, R 1 ~R 5 Each independently of the other can be a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or a hydroxyl group, R 6 Can be directly bonded or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and m can be an integer of 1 to 5.
The compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 may include one selected from 1, 6-hexanediol diacrylate, dimethylene diacrylate, trimethylene diacrylate, tetramethylene diacrylate, pentamethylene diacrylate, hexamethylene diacrylate, dipropylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, tetrapropylene glycol diacrylate, pentapropylene glycol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, pentaethylene glycol diacrylate, dibutylene glycol diacrylate, tributylene glycol diacrylate, tetramethylene glycol diacrylate, pentamethylene glycol diacrylate, dimethylene dimethacrylate, trimethylene dimethacrylate, tetramethylene dimethacrylate, pentamethylene dimethacrylate, hexamethylene dimethacrylate, dipropylene glycol dimethacrylate, tripropylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetrapropylene glycol dimethacrylate, pentapropylene glycol dimethacrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, pentaethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tributylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetramethylene glycol dimethacrylate, pentamethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and glycerol dimethacrylate, but is not limited thereto.
In the case where the photopolymerizable compound contains the compound represented by the chemical formula 1, a light scattering ink composition excellent in jetting properties can be provided, and is therefore preferable.
The photopolymerizable compound of the present invention is a photopolymerizable compound which can be polymerized by the action of a photopolymerization initiator described later, and may further contain a monofunctional monomer, a difunctional monomer, a polyfunctional monomer, or the like, and preferably contains a monofunctional monomer or a polyfunctional monomer having 3 or more unsaturated double bonds.
Specific examples of the monofunctional monomer include nonylphenyl carbitol acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl carbitol acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and N-vinylpyrrolidone.
The type of the polyfunctional monomer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, ethoxylated trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, propoxylated trimethylolpropane tri (meth) acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol tri (meth) acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta (meth) acrylate, ethoxylated dipentaerythritol hexa (meth) acrylate, propoxylated dipentaerythritol hexa (meth) acrylate, and the like.
In this case, when the ink composition further contains a polyfunctional curable monomer having three or more functions, the ink jet properties can be obtained when the viscosity of the ink composition is controlled to be within 80 cP.
The content of the photopolymerizable compound may be 10 to 95% by weight, and preferably 20 to 90% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the total weight of the light scattering ink composition. When the content of the photopolymerizable compound is within the above content range, there is an advantage that the light efficiency, the curing degree and the dispersion stability are improved and the strength and the smoothness of the pixel portion are good, as compared with the conventional photopolymerizable compound. When the content of the photopolymerizable compound is less than the above range, it is difficult to ensure fluidity for ink ejection, and when the content is more than the above range, the content of the scattering particles is insufficient and the problem of lowering the light efficiency may occur, so that the content is preferably within the above range.
Photopolymerization initiator
The photopolymerization initiator may be used without any particular limitation as long as it can polymerize the photopolymerizable compound. For example, from the viewpoints of polymerization characteristics, initiation efficiency, absorption wavelength, availability, price, and the like, the photopolymerization initiator preferably uses one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of acetophenone-based compounds, benzophenone-based compounds, triazine-based compounds, bisimidazole-based compounds, oxime-based compounds, thioxanthone-based compounds, and phosphine oxide compounds.
For example, when an oxime compound or a phosphine oxide compound is used for curing a thick film of 5 μm or more, more excellent physical properties can be ensured in terms of the curing density and surface roughness of the cured film.
Specific examples of the oxime-based compound include o-ethoxycarbonyl-. Alpha. -oxyimino-1-phenylpropane-1-one, and typical commercial products include Irgacure OXE 01 and OXE 02 from Basoff company.
As specific examples of the above phosphine oxide compound, darocur TPO, lucirin TPO, diphenyl (2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide, etc. of Basff company, as trimethylbenzoylphenyl phosphine oxide, are typical.
The content of the photopolymerization initiator may be 0.1 to 10 wt%, and preferably may be 0.5 to 8 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total weight of the light-scattering ink composition. When the content of the photopolymerization initiator is within the above range, the light-scattering ink composition is preferably highly sensitive, the exposure time is shortened, and productivity can be improved. When the content of the photopolymerization initiator is less than the above range, sufficient hardness cannot be obtained due to insufficient curing by light, and when the content is greater than the above range, there is a problem that the photopolymerization initiator causes a rapid increase in the decrease in the light scattering efficiency of the scattering particles, and the desired luminous intensity cannot be obtained, so that there is an advantage that the intensity of the pixel portion and the smoothness of the surface of the pixel portion are improved when the composition is used in the above range.
The above photopolymerization initiator may further contain a photopolymerization initiator aid to improve the sensitivity of the light-scattering ink composition of the present invention. When the photopolymerization initiator is contained, there is an advantage that the sensitivity is further improved and the productivity is improved.
For example, one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of amine compounds, carboxylic acid compounds, and organosulfur compounds having a thiol group can be preferably used as the photopolymerization initiator.
The photopolymerization initiator may be added as appropriate within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

Preferably, the light scattering ink composition of an embodiment of the present invention may be a solvent-free type containing no solvent from the viewpoint of continuous process. Even if the light scattering ink composition of the present invention is a solvent-free type containing no solvent, the light scattering ink composition containing the polymerizable monomer is excellent in light characteristics and dispersibility of scattering particles, and can realize low viscosity and excellent in nozzle ejection characteristics of the ink.

The light scattering ink composition of the present invention may further contain a fluorine-based surfactant or a sorbitan-based surfactant as a surfactant in addition to the compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 to improve the flatness of the coating film.

The light scattering ink composition of the present invention may further comprise a fluorine-based surfactant. For example, BM-1000, BM-1100 (BM Chemie Co.), fluorad FC-135/FC-170C/FC-430 (Sumitomo 3M Co.), SH-28PA/-190/-8400/SZ-6032 (Torile Silicone Co.), megaface F-554/Megaface F-559/Megaface F-563 (DIC Co.), and the like may be used as the fluorine-based surfactant.
When the content of the fluorine-based surfactant is 0.01 to 5 wt% based on 100 wt% of the total weight of the light-scattering ink composition, there is an advantage of excellent dispersibility.
The light scattering ink composition of the present invention may further contain a sorbitan-based surfactant instead of the above-mentioned fluorine-based surfactant. For example, one can use20、/>20 (sigma-Aldrich) company, etc., but is not limited thereto.
The content of the sorbitan-based surfactant may be 0.01 to 15 wt%, and preferably 0.5 to 10 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total weight of the light-scattering ink composition. When the content is less than the above range, the dispersibility improving ability is lowered, and when it exceeds the above range, the formation of the dosage form is adversely affected.
In one embodiment, the light scattering ink composition of the present invention may contain an antioxidant. The antioxidant can prevent oxidation of the light scattering ink composition and a coating film formed therefrom, and further improve light scattering characteristics and color purity.

The additive may be used in an amount of 0.01 to 15 wt%, specifically 0.02 to 12 wt%, more specifically 0.10 to 10 wt%, based on 100 wt% of the total weight of the light scattering ink composition, but is not limited thereto. When the content of the additive is within the above range, the coating property, flatness, adhesion, and the like of the light scattering ink composition can be improved, which is preferable. When the content of the additive is less than the above range, the desired effect such as coating property, flatness, adhesion and the like may be insufficient, and when the content is more than the above range, there is a problem that the content of the scattering particles or the polymerizable monomer is reduced to decrease the light emission intensity, the curing degree of the cured film is decreased and the like, so that when the composition is used in the above range, there is an advantage that the strength of the pixel portion and the physical properties such as coating property, flatness, adhesion and ejection property of the surface of the pixel portion are improved.
