Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pattern member manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, to a pattern member manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus suitably used for electronic display applications such as color filters of liquid crystal display elements and pixels for organic EL elements.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as materials for electronic displays such as color filters for liquid crystal display elements and pixels for organic EL elements, for example, red (R), green (G), blue ( A pattern member in which a single-color or three-color fine (μm level) stripe or matrix pattern such as B) is used.
[0003]
As a method for producing such a pattern member, various methods have been proposed and adopted so far. For example, photolithography, pigment dispersion method, electrodeposition method, printing method and the like can be mentioned. These manufacturing methods have merits and demerits, and the present situation is that a manufacturing method determined to be optimal in each company is employed (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 6).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional pattern member manufacturing method, it is difficult to satisfy both quality (pattern accuracy) and cost.
[0011]
That is, in photolithography, vapor deposition, and the like (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2), the apparatus is complicated, and it is unsuitable for processing into a continuous flexible support and unsuitable for mass production.
[0012]
In the gravure offset printing method (for example, refer to Patent Document 3), there is a problem that the pattern shape is disturbed at the time of transfer, and high-precision (several tens of μm level) processing is difficult.
[0013]
In the ink jet system (for example, see Patent Document 4), since a partition is required, there is a problem that the aperture ratio is small, and there is a problem that it is difficult to make organic layers multi-layered.
[0014]
The transfer method (see, for example, Patent Document 5) is a technique for transferring a pattern formed on a film to a glass substrate or the like, but cannot cope with transferring the pattern to a continuous film-like substrate or the like.
[0015]
As another transfer method (for example, see Patent Document 6), there is a technique of transferring a pattern to a continuous film-like substrate or the like. This is a film-like substrate after transferring a colored solid film to a plate surface. It is necessary to repeat the transfer. Therefore, problems such as a decrease in yield and variation in pattern adhesion force occur.
[0016]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and improves both productivity and product quality (pattern accuracy) in manufacturing a pattern member in which a plurality of different materials are formed in a pattern on a substrate. An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus that can be used.
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a plurality of transfer sheets in which different types of materials are applied and formed on the surfaces of a plurality of strip-shaped flexible supports, respectively, A method of manufacturing a pattern member that forms different types of materials in a pattern, wherein the transfer sheet is wound around a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of a rotating drum on which the substrate is wound around an outer peripheral portion. The transfer sheet support roller is provided close to the drum, and the respective transfer sheet support rollers are pressed against the drum so that the material is transferred to the substrate in the pattern, and each of the various types is transferred onto the substrate. A pattern member manufacturing method characterized by forming different materials in a pattern and a manufacturing apparatus used therefor are provided.
[0018]
According to the present invention, each transfer sheet, for example, a material pattern for red (R), green (G), and blue (B) colors is formed on a substrate wound around a rotating drum. The pattern material can be transferred to the substrate by pressing each transfer sheet. Then, by performing this at the position of each transfer sheet support roller, a pattern member (for example, an organic EL element, a color filter of a liquid crystal display element) can be formed.
[0019]
Therefore, according to the present invention, both productivity and product quality (pattern accuracy) can be improved in manufacturing a pattern member in which a plurality of different materials are formed in a pattern on a substrate.
[0020]
In the present invention, it is preferable that a pattern forming roller having the pattern step is provided on the upstream side of each transfer sheet support roller, and the pattern step is formed on the transfer sheet by the pattern forming roller.
[0021]
Thus, if a pattern forming roller having a pattern step is provided on the upstream side of the transfer sheet support roller and the pattern step is formed on the transfer sheet, both productivity and product quality (pattern accuracy) are achieved. This is because the patterned material can be transferred to the substrate in an improved state.
[0022]
In the present invention, it is preferable that an endless annular elastic sheet is disposed between the drum and the substrate. Usually, the drum is often formed of a metal material, and it is difficult to absorb the deformation of the substrate. Thus, if the elastic sheet is disposed between the drum and the substrate, the elastic sheet becomes a cushion layer and can absorb the deformation of the substrate. As a result, the material can be easily and reliably transferred to the substrate.
[0023]
In the present invention, the elastic sheet is preferably a multilayered sheet having a hard coat layer as a surface layer. Thus, if the surface layer of the elastic sheet is a hard coat layer, wear due to repeated use can be prevented. In addition, the releasability of the transfer sheet can be improved.
[0024]
In the present invention, it is preferable that the drum is formed at a medium height. Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the said width direction center part is formed more thickly than the width direction both ends by the said elastic body sheet. As described above, if the drum is formed at a middle height or the central portion in the width direction of the elastic sheet is thicker than both end portions in the width direction, even if the transfer sheet support roller is bent by the pressing force, This is because the pressure becomes uniform in the width direction, and the material can be reliably transferred to the substrate.
[0025]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a pattern member manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026]

And.
[0027]
Of these, the transfer means 28 (28R, 28G, and 28B) correspond to red (R), green (G), and blue (B), respectively. The transfer sheet 32 is formed by applying a pattern material P on the surface of a flexible support, and a pattern forming roller 34 for forming a pattern-like step on the transfer sheet 32.
[0028]
Although illustration is omitted, it is optional to provide a tension roller for controlling the tension of the substrate B and a driving roller for controlling the conveyance of the substrate B.
[0029]
Next, the substrate B will be described. Generally, a glass plate, a silicon substrate, a metal plate, or the like can be used as a substrate material for an electronic display such as a color filter of a liquid crystal display element or a pixel for an organic EL element. The substrate B of the conductive support can be preferably used. In the present embodiment, the width of the substrate B is 1000 mm.
[0030]
The substrate B of the belt-like flexible support generally has polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a predetermined width, a length of 45 to 20000 m, and a thickness of 2 to 200 μm, polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate, cellulose diacetate, Cellulose triacetate, cellulose acetate propionate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polycarbonate, polyimide, polyamide and other plastic films, paper, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene butene copolymer and other α-polyolefins having 2 to 10 carbon atoms A flexible strip made of paper or the like coated or laminated on the surface or a strip having a processed layer formed on the surface of the strip can be used.
[0031]
The substrate B of the belt-like flexible support may have a barrier function in which a cathode / electron transport layer is provided in advance by another apparatus by sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like.
[0032]
As the drum 12, a drum having a smooth surface having a width equal to or larger than the width of the substrate B and having a roundness can be preferably used. For example, a steel material having a hard chrome plated surface can be used. The outer diameter of the drum 12 is not limited, but is preferably a size that allows all transfer means 28 to be provided in the circumferential direction. In the illustrated example, the outer diameter was 3000 mm. The width of the drum 12 was 1200 mm. A similar function can be obtained even in a configuration in which one set of transfer means 28 is provided for the drum 12 having a relatively small diameter and a plurality of such combinations are provided.
[0033]
Conventional means combining a motor, a speed reducer, and the like can be used for rotational driving of the drum 12.
[0034]
As the elastic sheet 16, an endless annular sheet having a multilayer structure having a hard coat layer as a surface layer and an elastic layer as a lower layer can be preferably used. It may have a hard coat layer on one surface or may have a hard coat layer on both surfaces.
[0035]
Among these, as the elastic layer, for example, a PET sheet having a thickness of 100 μm can be used. As the hard coat layer, for example, silicon dioxide having a thickness of 10 μm can be used.
[0036]
In the case where the central portion in the width direction of the elastic sheet 16 is formed thicker than both ends in the width direction, for example, the thickness of the center portion is 100 μm, the thickness of the end portion is 80 μm, and the thickness is in the middle. What is necessary is just to form so that may change gradually.
[0037]
In the configuration shown in the drawing, the elastic sheet 16 is wound around the drum 12 and the tension drum 14, but the outer diameter of the drum 12 is set so that the inner diameter of the elastic sheet 16 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the drum 12. It may be configured to be integrally attached to. A configuration in which the same material as that of the elastic sheet 16 is lined on the outer periphery of the drum 12 can also be employed.
[0038]
As the transfer sheet support roller 30, a smooth surface having a width equal to or larger than the width of the transfer sheet 32 and having a roundness can be preferably used. For example, a steel material having a hard chrome plated surface can be used. When heating is performed during transfer, it is preferable to provide a heating means inside the roller. As this heating means, known means such as a structure in which a heat medium flows or a structure in which a sheath heater is provided can be employed.
[0039]
In order to apply a transfer pressure at the time of transfer (press the drum 12), a pressing mechanism may be provided in the bearing means that rotatably supports both ends of the transfer sheet support roller 30. As such a pressing mechanism, known means such as a combination of a bolt member and a nut member with a motor or an air cylinder can be employed. In addition, a configuration in which a backup roller is provided in the sense of avoiding bending due to the pressing reaction force in the center portion in the width direction of the transfer sheet support roller 30 can be employed.
[0040]
As the pattern forming roller 34, a roller having a width equal to or larger than the width of the transfer sheet 32 and having roundness and pattern-like irregularities can be preferably used. For example, it is possible to employ a metal surface layer in which pattern-like irregularities are formed by various known means such as photolithography, machining, electric discharge machining, and laser machining. The pattern uneven shape will be described in detail later.
[0041]
The transfer sheet 32 is sandwiched between the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30 to form a transfer pattern, and then transferred to the substrate B by the transfer sheet support roller 30. Details will be described later.
[0042]
In order to pressurize (press against the transfer sheet support roller 30) when the transfer sheet 32 is sandwiched between the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30, a bearing unit that rotatably supports both ends of the pattern formation roller 34 is used. A pressing mechanism may be provided. As such a pressing mechanism, known means such as a combination of a bolt member and a nut member with a motor or an air cylinder can be employed.
[0043]
If the functions described above can be performed, the outer diameters of the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30 are not limited. However, in the illustrated configuration, the outer diameter of the pattern forming roller 34 is 200 mm, and the transfer sheet support is supported. The outer diameter of the roller 30 was 300 mm. The widths of the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30 were 1200 mm.
[0044]
Any transfer sheet 32 may be used as long as the pattern material P is applied and formed on the surface of the belt-like flexible support. However, the apparatus having the structure shown in FIG. 2 is used for the apparatus having the structure shown in FIG. Is done. That is, the transfer sheet 32 is composed of four layers: a base material layer 40, a plastic deformation layer 42, a release layer 44, and a pattern material P. In this embodiment, the width of the transfer sheet 32 is 1000 mm.
[0045]
As the base material layer 40, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene), TAC (triacetyl cellulose) or the like can be employed.
[0046]
As the plastic deformation layer 42, methacrylic acid copolymer, crotonic acid copolymer, maleic acid copolymer, itaconic acid copolymer, partially esterified maleic acid copolymer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin A layer made of a polymer such as can be employed. Moreover, you may use a commercially available photoresist. Moreover, you may use what added alcohol soluble nylon or the epoxy resin to these for the film | membrane strength improvement.
[0047]
A release layer 44 is formed on the plastic deformation layer 42. As the release layer 44, a material obtained by adding wax such as paraffin wax, montan wax, bisamide wax, silicone resin, fluorine compound, or the like to the polymer used for the plastic deformation layer 42 can be used. . The main polymers used for the release layer 44 and the plastic deformation layer 42 may be the same or different.
[0048]
The pattern material P is applied and formed on the release layer 44, and dried to form a color material layer that emits light of each color when an electric current is applied. In this embodiment, as the pattern material P, three types (R, G, B) of pigment, binder, ethanol and coating aid mixed and dispersed to adjust the viscosity are used on the release layer 44. It was applied to. The film thickness at the time of application was 20 μm, and the film thickness at the time of drying was 2 μm.
[0049]
Hereinafter, the production of the pattern member will be described. A pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 was used. The conveyance speed of the substrate B was set to 2 m / min.
[0050]
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the relationship between the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet 32 when the transfer sheet 32 is sandwiched between the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30 to form a transfer pattern. The concavo-convex pattern formed on the surface of the pattern forming roller 34 is a stripe-shaped step extending in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The width of the convex portion 35A is 350 μm, and the width of the concave portion 35B is 100 μm. The level difference between the convex portion 35A and the concave portion 35B is 40 μm.
[0051]
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view illustrating a cross-sectional shape of the transfer sheet 32 after the transfer sheet 32 is sandwiched between the pattern forming roller 34 and the transfer sheet support roller 30 to form a transfer pattern. A reversal pattern of the pattern forming roller 34 is formed on the transfer sheet 32 mainly by the deformation of the plastic deformation layer 42. That is, in FIG. 4, the convex portion 37B corresponds to the concave portion 35B in FIG. 3, and the concave portion 37A corresponds to the convex portion 35A in FIG. By forming the convex part 37B by such a method, the convex part 37B can be sharply formed.
[0052]
FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the transfer sheet 32 on which the convex portions 37B are formed by the pattern forming roller 34 and the like is transferred to the surface of the substrate B while being supported by the transfer sheet support roller 30. The pressing force during transfer is 490 kPa (5 kg / cm ² The surface temperature of the transfer sheet support roller 30 was set to 150 ° C.
[0053]
Thus, the pattern material P can be transferred to the substrate B in a pattern by pressing the transfer sheet support roller 30 against the substrate B on the drum 12. At this time, since the release layer 44 exists between the plastic deformation layer 42 of the transfer sheet 32 and the pattern material P, transfer is performed as shown in the figure. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the substrate B after the transfer is performed.
[0054]
The transfer process described above is performed by the transfer means 28 (28R, 28G, and 28B) of the pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10, thereby forming the substrate B shown in a sectional view in FIG. In the figure, the pattern material P of each pattern of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) is repeatedly formed. As described above, the width of each pattern is 100 μm, and the width of the gap between the patterns is 50 μm.
[0055]
In this way, when the pattern is designed in a stripe shape, a stripe pattern of a, b, c, a, b, c... As shown in FIG. The stripe pattern can be formed in parallel with the transport direction of the substrate B, or can be formed at right angles to the transport direction of the substrate B as in this embodiment. However, in the latter case, it is necessary to adopt an apparatus configuration in which positioning can be performed accurately so that the intervals between the patterns are equal in each transfer means 28 (28R, 28G, and 28B).
[0056]
Also, the pattern can be designed in a matrix. In that case, a matrix pattern of a, b, c, a, b, c... As shown in FIG.
[0057]
FIG. 9A shows stripe patterns a, b, c, a, b, c... On the substrate B when the stripe pattern is formed in parallel with the transport direction of the substrate B, and FIG. Similarly, matrix patterns a, b, c, a, b, c... On the substrate B are shown.
[0058]
It is preferable that the above-described series of steps is performed in an environment of good dust-freeness and optimum temperature and humidity. Therefore, it is preferably performed in a clean room, and is preferably installed in an environment of class 100 or less. For this purpose, a mode in which a downflow clean room or a clean bench is used together can be employed.
[0059]
In particular, when the pattern material P is an organic EL light-emitting layer, it is preferable to maintain the light-emitting layer in a low-humidity environment because moisture greatly affects the product life. Specifically, an air or nitrogen gas atmosphere having a dew point of minus 20 ° C. or less is preferable. It is preferable to reduce the relative humidity (RH) as much as possible.
[0060]
Next, other embodiments of the pattern member manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, a configuration substantially similar to that of the pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10 of FIG. 1 is employed, but only the transfer means 28 (128) is configured differently.
[0061]
The transfer unit 128 includes a transfer sheet support roller 130 on which a pattern-shaped step is formed, and a transfer sheet 132 on which a pattern material P is applied and formed on the surface of a belt-like flexible support. That is, a transfer sheet 132 having a two-layer structure is used instead of the transfer sheet 32 having a four-layer structure, and a transfer sheet support roller 130 having a stepped pattern formed on the surface is used instead of the transfer sheet support roller 30 having a smooth surface. The pattern forming roller 34 is not used. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, the description thereof is omitted.
[0062]
FIG. 10 shows a state in which the pattern material P is transferred onto the surface of the substrate B when the transfer sheet 132 is selectively pressed against the substrate B by the convex portion 135A of the transfer sheet support roller 130 in the transfer unit 128. It is a conceptual diagram.
[0063]
That is, the transfer sheet 132 is composed of two layers of the base material layer 140 and the pattern material P. As the base material layer 140, the same material as the base material layer 40 of the transfer sheet 32 can be adopted. Further, as the convex portion 135A of the transfer sheet support roller 130, a reverse pattern of the surface pattern (the convex portion 35A and the concave portion 35B) of the pattern forming roller 34 can be adopted.
[0064]
In the transfer unit 128 having such a configuration, the pattern of the pattern material P transferred to the substrate B cannot be formed as sharply as the transfer unit 28, but has an advantage that the configuration can be simpler than the transfer unit 28. .
[0065]
The special notes when the pattern member of the present invention is applied to an organic EL element will be described below.
[0066]
When the pattern material P is a pixel for an organic EL element, a luminescent organic thin film layer is formed as a pattern. Therefore, the pattern material P applied to the transfer sheets 32 and 132 contains one or more luminescent compounds and / or phosphorescent compounds. In particular, it is preferable that a phosphorescent compound is contained in terms of light emission luminance and light emission efficiency. The content of the luminescent compound and / or phosphorescent compound in the coating solution is preferably 0.1 to 70% by mass, and more preferably 1 to 20% by mass.
[0067]
When forming a luminescent organic thin film layer as the pattern material P, the film thickness in the product state is preferably 10 to 200 nm, and more preferably 20 to 80 nm. This is because if the film thickness is less than 10 nm, the possibility of disconnection is high, and if the film thickness exceeds 200 nm, the driving voltage increases, which is not preferable.
[0068]
In the case where the substrate B to be supplied is a belt-like flexible support and has a barrier function provided in advance by sputtering, vacuum deposition or the like on the cathode / electron transport layer by another apparatus, the following configuration is an example. Can be adopted as
[0069]
The back electrode can be formed of a metal, an alloy, a metal oxide, an electrically conductive compound, or the like. This back electrode is preferably formed of a material having a work function of 4.5 eV or more.
[0070]
Specific materials include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, gold, silver, lead, aluminum and the like. These materials may be used alone, but in order to achieve both storage stability and electron injection properties, it is preferable to use two or more of the above materials in combination.
[0071]
Of these, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are preferable from the viewpoint of electron injection properties, and materials mainly composed of aluminum are preferable from the viewpoint of storage stability. The material mainly composed of aluminum refers not only to an aluminum simple substance but also to an alloy or a mixture of aluminum and 0.01 to 10% by mass of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal.
[0072]
An appropriate value can be selected for the thickness of the back electrode depending on the material. Usually, a value of 10 nm to 5 μm can be adopted, and a value of 50 nm to 1 μm can be preferably adopted. This back electrode is preferably formed continuously on the substrate B of the belt-like flexible support by sputtering, vacuum deposition or the like.
[0073]
As mentioned above, although the example of embodiment of the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of the pattern member which concerns on this invention was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to the example of the said embodiment, Various aspects can be taken.
[0074]
For example, the pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10 shown mainly in FIG. 1 has been described, but various aspects other than the above embodiment can be selected according to the product size, product type, production quantity, and the like of the pattern member.
[0075]
FIG. 11 shows another aspect of the pattern member manufacturing apparatus. The pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 employs a configuration in which the transfer sheet support roller 30 and the pattern forming roller 34 perform transfer while forming a pattern-like step on the transfer sheet 32. 11, the pattern forming roller 34 and the support roller 35 are used to form a pattern-shaped step on the transfer sheet 32. The support roller 35 can be made of the same material as the transfer sheet support roller 30.
[0076]
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the example in which the material patterns for the colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are formed has been described. For example, each pattern shown in FIG. A black stripe can also be provided as a fourth pattern in the gap (space).
[0077]
Further, for example, in the pattern member manufacturing apparatus 10, a dust removal zone composed of a dust remover or the like is provided next to the feed roller 20, or an EPC (edge position control device) or the like is provided in front of the take-up roller 24. Good.
[0078]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, each transfer sheet, for example, red (R), green (G), and blue (B) color materials is applied to a substrate wound around a rotating drum. By pressing each transfer sheet on which the pattern is formed, the pattern-like material can be transferred to the substrate. Then, by performing this at the position of each transfer sheet support roller, a pattern member (for example, an organic EL element, a color filter of a liquid crystal display element) can be formed.
[0079]
Therefore, according to the present invention, both productivity and product quality (pattern accuracy) can be improved in manufacturing a pattern member in which a plurality of different materials are formed in a pattern on a substrate.
