Description

液晶顯示元件用密封劑、上下導通材料、及液晶顯示元件Sealants for liquid crystal display elements, upper and lower conductive materials, and liquid crystal display elements

本發明係關於一種保存穩定性及硬化性優異,且即便在用於薄型液晶顯示元件之情形時亦能夠抑制顯示不良之產生之液晶顯示元件用密封劑。又,本發明係關於一種使用該液晶顯示元件用密封劑而成之上下導通材料及液晶顯示元件。The present invention relates to a sealing compound for liquid crystal display elements that is excellent in storage stability and curability and can suppress the occurrence of display defects even when used in thin liquid crystal display elements. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an upper and lower conductive material and a liquid crystal display element using the sealant for liquid crystal display elements.

近年來,作為液晶顯示單元等液晶顯示元件之製造方法,就生產節拍時間(tact time)縮短,使用液晶量之最佳化等觀點而言,利用如專利文獻1、專利文獻2中所揭示之使用密封劑之被稱為滴下工藝之液晶滴下方式。 於滴下工藝中,首先,藉由滴塗而於2片附電極之基板之一片形成框狀之密封圖案。然後,於密封劑未硬化之狀態下將液晶之微小液滴滴下至密封圖案之框內,於真空使另一基板重疊,之後使密封劑硬化而製作液晶顯示元件。目前,該滴下工藝成為液晶顯示元件之製造方法之主流。In recent years, as a manufacturing method of liquid crystal display elements such as a liquid crystal display unit, from the viewpoint of shortening the production tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used, methods such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have been used. The liquid crystal dripping method using sealant is called the dripping process. In the dropping process, first, a frame-shaped sealing pattern is formed on one of the two substrates with electrodes by dropping coating. Then, while the sealant is not hardened, tiny droplets of liquid crystal are dropped into the frame of the sealing pattern, another substrate is overlapped in a vacuum, and then the sealant is hardened to produce a liquid crystal display element. Currently, the dropping process has become the mainstream method of manufacturing liquid crystal display elements.

然而,於行動電話、攜帶型遊戲機等各種附液晶面板之行動機器正在普及之現代,機器之小型化為要求最大之課題。作為機器之小型化之方法,可列舉液晶顯示部之窄邊緣化,例如,進行將密封部之位置配置於黑矩陣下(以下,亦稱為窄邊緣設計)。However, in today's era when various mobile devices with LCD panels, such as mobile phones and portable game consoles, are becoming more popular, miniaturization of the devices is the most demanding issue. An example of a method for miniaturizing the device is to narrow the edges of the liquid crystal display portion, for example, arranging the sealing portion under the black matrix (hereinafter also referred to as narrow edge design).

然而,於窄邊緣設計中,由於將密封劑配置於黑矩陣之正下方,故而若進行滴下工藝,則使密封劑光硬化時所照射之光被遮擋,光難以到達密封劑之內部,於習知之密封劑中,硬化變得不充分。若如此密封劑之硬化變得不充分,則存在未硬化之密封劑成分容易向液晶中溶出而產生液晶污染之問題。However, in the narrow edge design, since the sealant is placed directly under the black matrix, if the dropping process is performed, the light irradiated when the sealant is photocured will be blocked, making it difficult for the light to reach the inside of the sealant. In Zhizhi sealant, hardening becomes insufficient. If the curing of the sealant becomes insufficient in this way, there is a problem that uncured sealant components are easily eluted into the liquid crystal, causing contamination of the liquid crystal.

於如此難以使密封劑光硬化之情形時,想到藉由加熱而使其硬化,作為用於藉由加熱而使密封劑硬化之方法,進行將熱硬化劑摻合於密封劑。然而,於使用對熱之反應性較高之熱硬化劑以提高密封劑之硬化性的情形時,存在所獲得之密封劑之保存穩定性較差之情況。 又,近年來,液晶顯示元件之薄型化正在發展,但於將習知之密封劑用於薄型液晶顯示元件之情形時,存在產生顯示不良之問題。 先前技術文獻 專利文獻In such a case where it is difficult to light-cure the sealant, it is thought that the sealant is cured by heating. As a method for curing the sealant by heating, a thermosetting agent is blended into the sealant. However, when a thermosetting agent with high reactivity to heat is used to improve the hardening properties of a sealant, the storage stability of the obtained sealant may be poor. In addition, in recent years, liquid crystal display elements have become thinner. However, when a conventional sealant is used for a thin liquid crystal display element, there is a problem of display defects. Prior technical literature patent documents

[Technical means to solve the problem]

本發明係一種液晶顯示元件用密封劑,其係含有硬化性樹脂及熱硬化劑者,且上述熱硬化劑包含具有下述特徵(a)、(b)、(c)、及(d)之化合物(A), (a)具有含羥基之醯肼化合物殘基; (b)具有異氰酸酯化合物殘基; (c)具有由下述式(1)所表示之結構; (d)不具有異氰酸基; 即,本發明係一種液晶顯示元件用密封劑,其係含有硬化性樹脂及熱硬化劑者,且上述熱硬化劑包含具有含羥基之醯肼化合物殘基、異氰酸酯化合物殘基、及由下述式(1)所表示之結構,且不具有異氰酸基之化合物。The present invention is a sealing compound for liquid crystal display elements, which contains a curable resin and a thermosetting agent, and the thermosetting agent includes one having the following characteristics (a), (b), (c), and (d). Compound (A), (a) Having a hydroxyl-containing hydrazine compound residue; (b) Having an isocyanate compound residue; (c) Having a structure represented by the following formula (1); (d) Does not have isocyanate groups; That is, the present invention is a sealing compound for liquid crystal display elements, which contains a curable resin and a thermosetting agent, and the thermosetting agent includes a hydroxyl-containing hydrazine compound residue, an isocyanate compound residue, and the following A compound having a structure represented by formula (1) and not having an isocyanate group.

式(1)中,*為鍵結位置。 以下,對本發明詳細地進行敍述。In formula (1), * is the bonding position. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

應對液晶顯示元件之薄型化,使用包含具有氟基、氯基、氰基等極性基之液晶分子者作為液晶之情況居多。本發明者考慮到,於將習知之密封劑用於薄型液晶顯示元件之情形時產生顯示不良之原因在於:因此種包含具有極性基之液晶分子之液晶與密封劑之相容性(尤其是與密封劑中所包含之熱硬化劑之相容性)較高而導致容易產生液晶污染。因此,本發明者進行了專心研究,結果發現藉由使用具有特定之結構之熱硬化劑而獲得保存穩定性及硬化性優異,且即便在用於薄型液晶顯示元件之情形時亦能夠抑制顯示不良之產生之液晶顯示元件用密封劑,從而完成本發明。 再者,本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑相對於不包含具有極性基之液晶分子之習知之液晶而言相容性更低,因此,即便於使用此種習知之液晶之液晶顯示元件中,亦能夠抑制顯示不良之產生。In order to reduce the thickness of liquid crystal display elements, liquid crystal molecules containing polar groups such as fluorine groups, chlorine groups, and cyano groups are often used as liquid crystals. The inventors of the present invention considered that the cause of poor display when conventional sealants are used in thin liquid crystal display elements is due to the compatibility between the liquid crystal containing liquid crystal molecules having polar groups and the sealant (especially with the sealant). The compatibility of the thermal hardener contained in the sealant is relatively high, resulting in easy liquid crystal contamination. Therefore, the present inventors conducted intensive research and found that by using a thermosetting agent having a specific structure, excellent storage stability and curing properties can be obtained, and display defects can be suppressed even when used in a thin liquid crystal display element. The resulting sealant for liquid crystal display elements completes the present invention. Furthermore, the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention has lower compatibility than conventional liquid crystals that do not contain liquid crystal molecules with polar groups. Therefore, even in liquid crystal display elements using such conventional liquid crystals, It can also suppress the occurrence of display defects.

Furthermore, since the thermal hardener of the present invention has the above characteristic (d), that is, it does not have an isocyanate group, all the isocyanate groups of the isocyanate compound are used to form the structure represented by the above formula (1). .

較佳為,成為上述特徵(a)中之含羥基之醯肼化合物殘基之來源的含羥基之醯肼化合物係於1分子中具有羥基及2個以上之醯肼基之化合物,且成為上述特徵(b)中之異氰酸酯化合物殘基之來源之異氰酸酯化合物係於1分子中具有2個以上之異氰酸基的化合物。Preferably, the hydroxyl-containing hydrazine compound that is the source of the hydroxyl-containing hydrazine compound residue in the above characteristic (a) is a compound having a hydroxyl group and two or more hydrazine groups in one molecule, and becomes the above-mentioned The isocyanate compound from which the isocyanate compound residue in characteristic (b) is derived is a compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule.

上述特徵(c)中之由上述式(1)所表示之結構源自於上述含羥基之醯肼化合物之醯肼基與上述異氰酸酯化合物之異氰酸基。本發明之熱硬化劑藉由具有由上述式(1)所表示之結構,而所獲得之液晶顯示元件用密封劑為兼具液晶污染性與硬化性之效果優異者。The structure represented by the above formula (1) in the above feature (c) is derived from the hydrazine group of the above hydroxyl-containing hydrazine compound and the isocyanate group of the above isocyanate compound.
