Description

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

本發明係關於一種即便於異型加工時亦可維持優異之接著性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 sealant for a liquid crystal display element which can maintain excellent adhesion even when processed into a special shape, and also to an upper and lower conductive material and a liquid crystal display element formed by using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element.

近年來,作為液晶顯示元件之製造方法,就產距時間(tact time)之縮短、液晶使用量之最佳化等觀點而言,使用如專利文獻1、專利文獻2所揭示般之被稱為滴下法之液晶滴下方式,該滴下法使用含有硬化性樹脂、光聚合起始劑及熱硬化劑之光熱併用硬化型密封劑。In recent years, as a manufacturing method for liquid crystal display elements, from the viewpoints of shortening the tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used, a liquid crystal dropping method called a dropping method as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is used. The dropping method uses a photothermal curing sealant containing a curable resin, a photopolymerization initiator, and a thermosetting agent.

滴下法中,首先,於2片附電極之透明基板之一透明基板上,藉由滴塗(dispense)形成長方形之密封圖案。繼而,於密封劑未硬化之狀態下將液晶之微滴滴滿透明基板之框內整個面,其後立即使另一透明基板重合,對密封部照射紫外線等光進行暫時硬化。其後,進行加熱使其正式硬化,而製作液晶顯示元件。藉由於減壓下進行基板之貼合,能夠以極高之效率製造液晶顯示元件,該滴下法成為當前液晶顯示元件之製造方法之主流。In the drip method, first, a rectangular sealing pattern is formed by dispensing on one of the two transparent substrates with electrodes. Then, before the sealant is cured, droplets of liquid crystal are filled on the entire surface of the frame of the transparent substrate, and then the other transparent substrate is immediately overlapped, and the sealing part is irradiated with ultraviolet light or other light for temporary curing. After that, it is heated to formally cure, and a liquid crystal display element is produced. By laminating the substrates under reduced pressure, liquid crystal display elements can be manufactured with extremely high efficiency, and this drip method has become the mainstream method for manufacturing liquid crystal display elements.

且說,於行動電話、攜帶型遊戲機等各種附有液晶面板之移動式機器普及之當代,要求最多的課題即為機器之小型化。作為機器之小型化之手法,可列舉液晶顯示部之窄邊緣化,例如將密封部之位置配置於黑矩陣下方(以下,亦稱為窄邊緣設計)。伴隨此種窄邊緣設計,密封劑之塗佈位置位於聚醯亞胺等配向膜上之情況變多。 先前技術文獻 專利文獻In the current era when various mobile devices with liquid crystal panels such as mobile phones and portable game consoles are becoming popular, the most demanding issue is the miniaturization of the devices. As a method for miniaturizing the devices, the narrow edge of the liquid crystal display part can be cited, for example, the position of the sealing part is arranged below the black matrix (hereinafter also referred to as the narrow edge design). With this narrow edge design, the coating position of the sealant is more often located on the alignment film such as polyimide. Prior art literature Patent literature

本發明之目的在於提供一種即便於異型加工時亦可維持優異之接著性之液晶顯示元件用密封劑。又,本發明之目的在於提供一種使用上述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。 [解決課題之技術手段]The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sealant for liquid crystal display elements that can maintain excellent adhesion even during special-shaped processing.

[Technical means to solve the problem]

本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑含有硬化性樹脂與聚合起始劑及/或熱硬化劑,該液晶顯示元件用密封劑其藉由依據JIS K 6852之常態試驗測得之硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度為30 kgf/cm2 以上,且硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數(storage elastic modulus)為2.5 GPa以下。 以下,對本發明進行詳細說明。The sealant for liquid crystal display element of the present invention contains a curable resin and a polymerization initiator and/or a thermosetting agent, and the sealant for liquid crystal display element has a compressive shear strength of 30 kgf/cm2 or more for polyimide at 25°C measured by a normal test according to JIS K 6852 , and a storage elastic modulus of 2.5 GPa or less at 25°C. The present invention is described in detail below.

近年來,正在進行使用藉由凹槽(notch)加工等異型加工而加工為矩形以外之異型形狀之面板的液晶顯示元件之開發,然而尤其是於製造窄邊緣設計之液晶顯示元件時進行異型加工之情形時,有時會在加工過程中發生基板剝落之問題。 本發明人為了防止此種異型加工時之基板之剝落,研究了藉由使用柔軟之材料作為用於液晶顯示元件用密封劑之硬化性樹脂,而使硬化物之儲存彈性模數成為特定值以下。然而,僅藉由降低儲存彈性模數無法充分地防止異型加工時之基板之剝落。因此,本發明人研究了不僅將硬化物之儲存彈性模數設為特定值以下,且將利用密封劑使聚醯亞胺基板彼此接著時之壓縮剪切接著強度設為特定值以上。其結果為,發現獲得即便於異型加工時亦可維持優異之接著性之液晶顯示元件用密封劑,從而完成本發明。In recent years, the development of liquid crystal display elements using panels processed into irregular shapes other than rectangular shapes by irregular processing such as notch processing has been underway. However, when performing irregular processing when manufacturing liquid crystal display elements with narrow edge designs, the problem of substrate peeling sometimes occurs during the processing. In order to prevent the peeling of the substrate during such irregular processing, the inventors have studied the use of a soft material as a curable resin used as a sealant for liquid crystal display elements, so that the storage elastic modulus of the cured product becomes less than a specific value. However, it is not possible to fully prevent the peeling of the substrate during irregular processing by simply reducing the storage elastic modulus. Therefore, the inventors studied how to set the storage elastic modulus of the cured product below a specific value and how to set the compressive shear bonding strength of the polyimide substrates bonded together by the sealant to a specific value or above. As a result, they found a sealant for liquid crystal display elements that can maintain excellent adhesion even when processed into special shapes, and thus completed the present invention.

關於本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑,藉由依據JIS K 6852之常態試驗測得之硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度之下限為30 kgf/cm2 。藉由上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度為30 kgf/cm2 以上,且後述之硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數為2.5 GPa以下,從而使得本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑即便於異型加工時亦可維持優異之接著性。上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度之較佳之下限為35 kgf/cm2 。 上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度之較佳之上限無特別限制,實質性之上限為100 kgf/cm2 。 再者,上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度可利用以下之方法測定。 即,首先,於長度45 mm、寬度25 mm、厚度0.7 mm之ITO基板以100 nm左右之膜厚塗佈聚醯亞胺溶液,經處理而獲得基板(聚醯亞胺基板),準備2片該基板,於其中一基板上以接著時之直徑為3 mm之方式點塗密封劑。使另一聚醯亞胺基板以於長邊方向上錯開10 mm之方式經由密封劑重合於點塗有密封劑之聚醯亞胺基板。其後,使用金屬鹵化物燈等照射100 mW/cm2 之光30秒鐘後,於120℃加熱1小時,而使密封劑硬化,獲得試片。對於所獲得之試片,可藉由進行依據JIS K 6852之常態試驗測定壓縮剪切接著強度。Regarding the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention, the lower limit of the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product to polyimide at 25°C measured by the normal test according to JIS K 6852 is 30 kgf/cm 2. Since the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product to polyimide at 25°C is 30 kgf/cm 2 or more, and the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C described later is 2.5 GPa or less, the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention can maintain excellent adhesion even when processed into special shapes. The preferred lower limit of the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product to polyimide at 25°C is 35 kgf/cm 2 . The preferred upper limit of the compression shear bonding strength of the above-mentioned cured product to polyimide at 25°C is not particularly limited, and the substantial upper limit is 100 kgf/ cm2 . Furthermore, the compression shear bonding strength of the above-mentioned cured product to polyimide at 25°C can be measured by the following method. That is, first, a polyimide solution is applied to an ITO substrate having a length of 45 mm, a width of 25 mm, and a thickness of 0.7 mm with a film thickness of about 100 nm, and a substrate (polyimide substrate) is obtained after treatment. Two substrates are prepared, and a sealant is applied to one of the substrates in such a manner that the diameter at the time of bonding is 3 mm. Another polyimide substrate is overlapped with the polyimide substrate dotted with the sealant through the sealant in a manner that the substrate is staggered by 10 mm in the long-side direction. After that, the sealant is cured by irradiating the substrate with 100 mW/ cm2 light using a metal halide lamp for 30 seconds and then heating at 120°C for 1 hour to obtain a test piece. The obtained test piece can be measured for compressive shear bond strength by a normal test according to JIS K 6852.

關於本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑,其硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數之上限為2.5 GPa。藉由上述硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數為2.5 GPa以下,且上述之硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度為30 kgf/cm2 以上,從而使得本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑即便於異型加工時亦可維持優異之接著性。上述硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數之較佳之上限為2.0 GPa,更佳之上限為1.5 GPa。 又,就使被接著體貼合時之接著性之觀點而言,上述硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數之較佳之下限為0.1 GPa,更佳之下限為1.0 GPa。 再者,作為測定上述儲存彈性模數之硬化物,使用如下述般硬化而成者:於使用金屬鹵化物燈等對密封劑照射100 mW/cm2 之光30秒鐘後,於120℃加熱1小時使其硬化。又,該硬化物係指液晶顯示元件中用於基板等之貼合或密封之密封劑硬化物。 又,上述儲存彈性模數可使用動態黏彈性測定裝置(例如,IT計測制御公司製造,「DVA-200」等),以拉伸模式、試片寬度5 mm、厚度0.35 mm、抓持寬度25 mm、升溫速度10℃/分鐘、頻率10 Hz之條件進行測定。Regarding the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention, the upper limit of the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C is 2.5 GPa. Since the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C is less than 2.5 GPa, and the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product at 25°C to polyimide is more than 30 kgf/ cm2 , the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention can maintain excellent adhesion even during special-shaped processing. The upper limit of the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C is preferably 2.0 GPa, and the more preferably upper limit is 1.5 GPa. In terms of adhesion when bonding the adherend, the lower limit of the storage elastic modulus of the above-mentioned cured product at 25°C is preferably 0.1 GPa, and the lower limit is more preferably 1.0 GPa. Furthermore, as the cured product for measuring the above-mentioned storage elastic modulus, the one cured by irradiating the sealant with light of 100 mW/ cm2 for 30 seconds using a metal halide lamp or the like, and then curing it by heating at 120°C for 1 hour. In addition, the cured product refers to a cured sealant used for bonding or sealing substrates, etc. in liquid crystal display devices. The storage elastic modulus can be measured using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (e.g., "DVA-200" manufactured by IT Measurement & Control Co., Ltd.) in a tensile mode, with a specimen width of 5 mm, a thickness of 0.35 mm, a gripping width of 25 mm, a heating rate of 10°C/min, and a frequency of 10 Hz.

關於本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑,其硬化物之玻璃轉移溫度之較佳之上限為75℃。藉由上述硬化物之玻璃轉移溫度為75℃以下,從而使得本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑成為於異型加工時接著性更加優異者。上述硬化物之玻璃轉移溫度之更佳之上限為70℃。 又,就防透濕性等觀點而言,上述硬化物之玻璃轉移溫度之較佳之下限為30℃,更佳之下限為35℃。 再者,於本說明書中,上述「玻璃轉移溫度」係指藉由動態黏彈性測定而獲得之損耗正切(tanδ)之極大之中,出現起因於微布朗運動之極大時之溫度。上述玻璃轉移溫度可利用使用黏彈性測定裝置等之習知公知之方法測定。 又,作為測定上述玻璃轉移溫度之硬化物,與測定上述儲存彈性模數之硬化物同樣地使用使密封劑硬化而成者。Regarding the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention, the upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the cured product is preferably 75°C. By setting the glass transition temperature of the cured product to be below 75°C, the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention has better adhesion during special-shaped processing. The upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the cured product is more preferably 70°C. In addition, from the perspective of moisture permeability, the lower limit of the glass transition temperature of the cured product is preferably 30°C, and the lower limit is more preferably 35°C. Furthermore, in this specification, the "glass transition temperature" refers to the temperature at which the maximum due to micro-Brownian motion appears among the maximum loss tangent (tanδ) obtained by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. The glass transition temperature can be measured by a known method such as a viscoelasticity measuring device. In addition, as a hardened material for measuring the glass transition temperature, a sealant hardened material is used in the same manner as the hardened material for measuring the storage elastic modulus.

對於後述之硬化性樹脂、聚合起始劑及/或熱硬化劑、以及填充劑等其他成分,藉由選擇其等之種類及調整含有比率,可將上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度、及上述硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數設為上述範圍。By selecting the types of the curable resin, polymerization initiator and/or thermosetting agent, and other components such as fillers described below and adjusting their content ratios, the compressive shear strength of the cured product at 25°C to polyimide and the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C can be set within the above ranges.

The curable resin preferably contains: a compound having a polymerizable functional group and a flexible skeleton (hereinafter, also referred to as a "curable resin having a flexible skeleton"). By containing the curable resin having a flexible skeleton, it is easy to set the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product to polyimide at 25°C and the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C to the above range.

作為上述聚合性官能基,例如可列舉:(甲基)丙烯醯基、環氧基等。又,上述具有柔軟骨架之硬化性樹脂較佳為於1分子中具有2個以上之上述聚合性官能基。 再者,於本說明書中,上述「(甲基)丙烯醯基」係指丙烯醯基或甲基丙烯醯基。Examples of the polymerizable functional group include (meth)acryl and epoxy groups.

By using a curable resin having such a soft skeleton, it is easier to set the compressive shear bonding strength of the cured product to polyimide at 25°C and the storage elastic modulus of the cured product at 25°C to the above ranges.

Among them, preferably, the number of carbon atoms in the straight chain portion of the main skeleton when the ring is opened is 5 to 7.

上述橡膠結構較佳為於主鏈具有不飽和鍵之結構、或於主鏈具有聚矽氧烷骨架之結構。 作為上述於主鏈具有不飽和鍵之結構,例如可列舉:於主鏈具有因共軛二烯之聚合而產生之骨架之結構等。 作為上述因共軛二烯之聚合而產生之骨架,例如可列舉:丙烯腈-丁二烯骨架、聚丁二烯骨架、聚異戊二烯骨架、苯乙烯-丁二烯骨架、聚異丁烯骨架、聚氯丁二烯骨架等。 其中,上述橡膠結構較佳為具有丙烯腈-丁二烯骨架之結構。The rubber structure is preferably a structure having an unsaturated bond in the main chain or a structure having a polysiloxane skeleton in the main chain. As the structure having an unsaturated bond in the main chain, for example, there can be listed: a structure having a skeleton generated by polymerization of a conjugated diene in the main chain, etc. As the skeleton generated by polymerization of a conjugated diene, for example, there can be listed: an acrylonitrile-butadiene skeleton, a polybutadiene skeleton, a polyisoprene skeleton, a styrene-butadiene skeleton, a polyisobutylene skeleton, a polychloroprene skeleton, etc. Among them, the rubber structure is preferably a structure having an acrylonitrile-butadiene skeleton.

上述具有柔軟骨架之硬化性樹脂之分子量之較佳之下限為100,較佳之上限為10萬。藉由上述具有柔軟骨架之硬化性樹脂之分子量為該範圍,從而更加容易將上述硬化物於25℃之對於聚醯亞胺之壓縮剪切接著強度、及上述硬化物於25℃之儲存彈性模數設為上述範圍。上述具有柔軟骨架之硬化性樹脂之分子量之更佳之下限為200,更佳之上限為5萬。 再者,於本說明書中,關於上述「分子量」,對於分子結構被特定出之化合物而言,係根據結構式而求出者,但對於聚合度之分佈較廣之化合物及改質部位不特定之化合物而言,有時使用重量平均分子量表示。又,上述「重量平均分子量」係利用凝膠滲透層析法(GPC)使用四氫呋喃作為溶劑進行測定,根據聚苯乙烯換算求出之值。作為利用GPC測定根據聚苯乙烯換算之重量平均分子量時所使用之管柱,例如可列舉:Shodex LF-804(昭和電工公司製造)等。The molecular weight of the hardening resin with a flexible skeleton preferably has a lower limit of 100 and an upper limit of 100,000. By setting the molecular weight of the hardening resin with a flexible skeleton to this range, it is easier to set the compressive shear bonding strength of the hardened material to polyimide at 25°C and the storage elastic modulus of the hardened material at 25°C to the above range. The molecular weight of the hardening resin with a flexible skeleton preferably has a lower limit of 200 and an upper limit of 50,000. In addition, in this specification, the "molecular weight" is obtained based on the structural formula for compounds with a specific molecular structure, but for compounds with a wide distribution of polymerization degrees and compounds with unspecified modified sites, the weight average molecular weight is sometimes used.

上述鈦黑係相較於對於波長300 nm以上800 nm以下之光之平均透過率,對於紫外線區域附近、尤其是波長370 nm以上450 nm以下之光之透過率更高之物質。即,上述鈦黑係具有如下性質之遮光劑:藉由充分地遮斷可見光區域之波長之光而對本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑賦予遮光性,另一方面使紫外線區域附近之波長之光透過。因此,使用能夠藉由上述鈦黑之透過率更高之波長(370 nm以上450 nm以下)之光使得反應開始者作為上述光自由基聚合起始劑,藉此可進一步增強本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑之光硬化性。又,作為本發明之液晶顯示元件用密封劑所含有之遮光劑,較佳為高絕緣性之物質,鈦黑亦可較好地作為高絕緣性之遮光劑。 上述鈦黑之每1 μm之光學濃度(OD值)較佳為3以上,更佳為4以上。上述鈦黑之遮光性越高越好,上述鈦黑之OD值之較佳之上限無特別限制,通常為5以下。The titanium black is a substance having a higher transmittance to light near the ultraviolet region, especially to light of wavelengths of 370 nm to 450 nm, than the average transmittance to light of wavelengths of 300 nm to 800 nm. That is, the titanium black is a light-shielding agent having the following properties: it imparts light-shielding properties to the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention by fully blocking light of wavelengths in the visible light region, while allowing light of wavelengths near the ultraviolet region to pass through. Therefore, by using a substance that can initiate a reaction with light of a wavelength (370 nm to 450 nm) with a higher transmittance of the titanium black as the photo-radical polymerization initiator, the light curing property of the sealant for liquid crystal display elements of the present invention can be further enhanced.

The preferred lower limit is 1 nm and the preferred upper limit is 5000 nm.
