Description

  The present invention relates to a resin composition and a cured product thereof. More specifically, for electronic device applications such as organic electroluminescence devices, light-emitting diode devices (LED devices), and displays that require a sealing material having a high refractive index and excellent in low moisture permeability. The present invention relates to a resin composition and a cured product thereof preferably used, a sealing agent and a sealant containing the resin composition, and an organic electroluminescence device, an LED device, and a display containing the cured product of the resin composition.

  Currently, various electronic devices such as organic electroluminescence devices, light emitting diode devices (LED devices), displays (liquid crystal display devices, touch panels, etc.) are widely used. In these electronic devices, in order to prevent moisture from entering inside the device and causing deterioration of electronic elements, short circuit of electric circuits, corrosion of electrodes, etc. Electronic elements, electric circuits, and the like are sealed with materials (sealing material, sealing material). Among these electronic devices, in particular, in an organic electroluminescence device, since an organic electroluminescence element is fragile with respect to moisture, use of a sealing material or a sealing material with particularly low moisture permeability is required.

20-80 parts by weight of an epoxy compound having an aliphatic cyclic skeleton and 80-20 parts by weight of an epoxy compound having an aromatic ring as a sealant for forming a sealing material for an organic electroluminescence element A resin composition containing a cationic polymerization initiator has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, compounds having an epoxy group at both ends are disclosed as an epoxy compound having an aliphatic cyclic skeleton and an epoxy compound having an aromatic ring. However, the cured product of the resin composition exhibited a moisture permeability of 55 g / m ² · 24 h or more under the conditions of 85 ° C. and 85% RH, and could not be said to have a sufficiently low moisture permeability.

In addition, as an adhesive for an element package such as an organic electroluminescence device, a resin composition containing (A) an epoxy compound, (B) a novolak resin, (C) a photocationic polymerization initiator, and (D) a filler is proposed. (See Patent Document 2). However, in order to obtain a sufficiently low moisture permeability, the blending of the filler into the resin composition is essential, and the moisture permeability of the cured product of the resin composition when no filler is blended is 60 ° C. and 90%. It was 60 g / m ² · 24 h under RH conditions, and was not capable of exhibiting sufficiently low moisture permeability.

  On the other hand, in the above-mentioned electronic device, a member having a high refractive index (high refractive index member) is often used, such as an electrode or a passivation film in an organic electroluminescence device. For this reason, in addition to the above-mentioned low moisture permeability, the encapsulant used in these electronic devices has a high refractive index member even when it is disposed so as to be in contact with the high refractive index member. In order to make it difficult for light to be reflected at the interface, it is required to have a high refractive index.

  For example, as a curable resin composition for producing a resin having an excellent low water absorption and a high refractive index, 100 to 5% by weight of a vinyl oligomer having a specific structure containing a sulfur atom, and copolymerizable with the vinyl oligomer A curable resin composition composed of 0 to 95% by weight of the compound is known (see Patent Document 3).

  However, although the cured product of the curable resin composition disclosed in Patent Document 3 exhibits a relatively low water absorption, it does not have a sufficiently low moisture permeability. In particular, it is difficult for the cured product to satisfy the low moisture permeability required for a sealing material for an organic electroluminescence device. Thus, the present condition has not yet obtained the material which has a high refractive index and has low moisture permeability, and can be preferably used especially as a sealing material for an organic electroluminescence device.

  Furthermore, the sealing material in the electronic device is usually formed by casting a resin composition (curable resin composition) into a predetermined mold and curing it by heating or light irradiation. Such a resin composition is required to have small shrinkage during curing (curing shrinkage) from the viewpoint of improving the quality of electronic devices.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a sealant or sealant having a high refractive index and capable of forming a sealant or sealant excellent in low moisture permeability and having a small cure shrinkage. .
Furthermore, another object of the present invention is that an organic element is sealed with the cured product, and an adverse effect due to curing shrinkage or moisture (humidity) is less likely to occur. The object is to provide a luminescence device, an LED device, and a display.
