- LED's are increasingly being used as light sources in numerous applications due to their many advantages over traditional light sources. LED's generally consume significantly less power than incandescent and other light sources, require a low voltage to operate, are resistant to mechanical shock, require low maintenance, and generate minimal heat when operating. As a result, they are displacing incandescent and other light sources in many uses and have found applications in such disparate areas as traffic signals, large area displays (including video displays), interior and exterior lighting, cellular telephone displays, automotive displays, and flashlights. LED's are typically used in such applications as components in assemblies.

- the toughener will typically be an elastomer having a relatively low melting point, generally ⁇ 200 0 C, preferably ⁇ 150 0 C and that has attached to it functional groups that can react with the PCT (and optionally other polymers present). Since PCT usually have carboxyl and hydroxyl groups present, these functional groups usually can react with carboxyl and/or hydroxyl groups. Examples of such functional groups include epoxy, carboxylic anhydride, hydroxyl (alcohol), carboxyl, and isocyanate. Preferred functional groups are epoxy, and carboxylic anhydride, and epoxy is especially preferred.
- Such functional groups are usually "attached" to the polymeric tougheners by grafting small molecules onto an already existing polymer or by copolymerizing a monomer containing the desired functional group when the polymeric tougheners molecules are made by copolymerization.

Abstract
Light-emitting diode assembly housing comprising high temperature poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) compositions containing titanium dioxide.
Description
LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE ASSEMBLY HOUSING COMPRISING POLY(CYCLOHEXANEDIMETHANOL TEREPHTHALATE) COMPOSITIONS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to light emitting diode assembly components comprising poly(1,4~cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) (PCT) compositions containing titanium dioxide.
Background of the Invention
Light-emitting semiconductor diodes (LED's) are increasingly being used as light sources in numerous applications due to their many advantages over traditional light sources. LED's generally consume significantly less power than incandescent and other light sources, require a low voltage to operate, are resistant to mechanical shock, require low maintenance, and generate minimal heat when operating. As a result, they are displacing incandescent and other light sources in many uses and have found applications in such disparate areas as traffic signals, large area displays (including video displays), interior and exterior lighting, cellular telephone displays, automotive displays, and flashlights. LED's are typically used in such applications as components in assemblies.
LED assemblies comprise a housing partially surrounding at least one LED and an electrical connection between the diode and an electrical circuit. The assembly may further comprise a lens that is adhered to the housing and that fully or partially covers the LED and serves to focus the light emitted by the LED. It would be desirable to make LED housings from polymeric materials, as such materials may be injection molded and offer considerable design flexibility. However, useful polymeric compositions would preferably satisfy a number of conditions. Since many LED assemblies are attached to circuits boards using reflow oven welding processes that operate at elevated temperatures, useful compositions would be sufficiently heat resistant to withstand the welding conditions and minimal surface blistering of the housing during the welding process. Useful compositions would further preferably exhibit good whiteness/reflectivity to maximize the amount of light reflected by the housing, have good ultraviolet light resistance, good long-term resistance to the operating temperatures of the LED assembly, and have good adhesion to any lens material used. The poly(1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) compositions used in the present invention satisfy the foregoing requirements.
WO 03/085029 discloses a polyamide resin composition useful in the production of light-emitting diode reflectors. However, polyamides often do not have good color retention upon exposure to ultraviolet light or heat.
Summary of the Invention
There is disclosed herein a light-emitting diode assembly housing comprising a poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) composition, comprising:
(a) about 40 to about 95 weight percent poly(1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol , terephthalate); and (b) about 5 to about 60 weight percent of titanium dioxide;
(c) 0 to about 40 weight percent of at least one inorganic reinforcing agent or filler; and
(d) 0 to about 3 weight percent of at least one oxidative stabilizer, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.
Detailed Description of the Invention
As used herein, by the terms "light-emitting diode assembly" or "LED assembly" is meant a device comprising at least one light-emitting semiconductor diode, an electrical connection capable of connecting the diode to an electrical circuit, and a housing partially surrounding the diode. The LED assembly may optionally have a lens that fully or partially covers the LED.
The LED assembly housing comprises a poly(1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) (PCT) composition comprising titanium dioxide. By "poly(1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate)" (PCT) is meant a polyester formed from a diol and a dicarboxylic acid. At least about 80 mole percent, more preferably at least about 90 mole percent, and especially preferably all of the diol repeat units are derived from 1 ,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and are of formula (I).

At least about 80 mole percent, more preferably at least about 90 mole percent, and especially preferably all of the dicarboxylic acid repeat units are derived from terephthalic acid and are of formula (II).
(H)
The PCT may also contain up to 10 mole percent (based on the total amount of (I) and (II) present) of one or more repeat unit derived from hydroxycarboxylic acids, although it is preferred that no such repeat unit be present. One particular preferred PCT contains (I) as the diol repeat unit, (II) is 95 mole percent of dicarboxylic acid repeat unit and the other 5 mole percent of the dicarboxylic repeat unit is derived from isophthalic acid, and no repeat units derived from hydroxycarboxylic acid are present. The PCT is present in from about 40 to about 95 weight percent of the composition, or preferably about 50 to about 85 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition.
The compositions may optionally contain up to about 70 weight percent, or more preferably about 1 to about 40 weight percent of other thermoplastic polymers, such as other thermoplastic polyesters (such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly (propylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate), poly (naphthalene terephthalate), and the like), liquid crystalline polyesters, and the like, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of PCT and other thermoplastic polymer.
The titanium dioxide used in the compositions may be any sort, but is preferably in the rutile form. The titanium dioxide comprises about 5 to about 60 weight percent, or preferably about 15 to about 50 weight percent, or more preferably about 20 to about 40 weight percent of the total composition. The surface of the titanium dioxide particles will preferably be coated. The titanium dioxide will preferably be first coated with an inorganic coating and then an organic coating that is applied over the inorganic coating. The titanium dioxide particles may be coated using any method known in the art. Preferred inorganic coatings include metal oxides. Organic coatings may include one or more of carboxylic acids, polyols, alkanolamines, and/or silicon compounds.
Examples of carboxylic acids suitable for use as an organic coating include adipic acid, terephthalic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, polyhydroxystearic acid, oleic acid, salicylic acid, malic acid, and maleic acid. As
used herein, the term "carboxylic acid" includes the esters and salts of the carboxylic acids.
Examples of silicon compounds suitable for an organic coating include, but are not limited to, silicates, organic silanes, and organic siloxanes, including organoalkoxysilanes, aminosilanes, epoxysilanes, mercaptosilanes, and polyhydroxysiloxanes Suitable silanes can have the formula RxSi(R')4-x wherein R is a nonhydrolyzable aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic group having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, and R' is one or more hydrolyzable groups such as an alkoxy, halogen, acetoxy, or hydroxy group, and X is 1 , 2, or 3. Useful suitable silanes suitable for an organic coating include one or more of hexyltrimethoxysilane, octyltriethoxysilane, nonyltriethoxysilane, decyltriethoxysilane, dodecyltriethoxysilane, tridecyltriethoxysilane, tetradecyltriethoxysilane, pentadecyltriethoxysilane, hexadecyltriethoxysilane, heptadecyltriethoxysilane, octadecyltriethoxysilane, /V-(2-aminoethyl) 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysiiane, N- (2-aminoethyl) 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3- glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3- mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and combinations of two or more thereof. In other useful silanes, R has between 8 and 18 carbon atoms and R' is one or more of chloro, methoxy, ethoxy, or hydroxy groups. When present, the organic coating preferably comprises about 0.1 to about
10 weight percent, or more preferably about 0.5 to about 7 weight percent, or yet more preferably about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent-of the coated titanium dioxide. Examples of suitable inorganic coatings include metal oxides and hydrous oxides, including oxides and hydrous oxides of silicon, aluminum, zirconium, phosphorous, zinc, rare earth elements, and the like. A preferred metal oxide is alumina.
The inorganic coating preferably comprises about 0.25 to about 50 weight percent, or more preferably about 1.0 to about 25 weight percent, or yet more preferably about 2 to about 20 weight percent- of the coated titanium dioxide. The compositions may optionally contain up to about 40 weight percent of one or more inorganic reinforcing agents and/or fillers. Example of suitable reinforcing agents include glass fibers and minerals, particularly fibrous minerals such as wollastonite. Examples of fillers include calcium carbonate, talc, mica, and kaolin. When present, the reinforcing agent and/or filler is preferably present in about 1 to about 40 weight percent, or more preferably about 1 to about 20 weight percent of the total composition.
The compositions may optionally contain up to about 15 weight percent oτ one or more polymeric tougheners. The toughener will typically be an elastomer having a relatively low melting point, generally <200 0C, preferably <150 0C and that has attached to it functional groups that can react with the PCT (and optionally other polymers present). Since PCT usually have carboxyl and hydroxyl groups present, these functional groups usually can react with carboxyl and/or hydroxyl groups. Examples of such functional groups include epoxy, carboxylic anhydride, hydroxyl (alcohol), carboxyl, and isocyanate. Preferred functional groups are epoxy, and carboxylic anhydride, and epoxy is especially preferred. Such functional groups are usually "attached" to the polymeric tougheners by grafting small molecules onto an already existing polymer or by copolymerizing a monomer containing the desired functional group when the polymeric tougheners molecules are made by copolymerization. As an example of grafting, maleic anhydride may be grafted onto a hydrocarbon rubber using free radical grafting techniques. The resulting grafted polymer has carboxylic anhydride and/or carboxyl groups attached to it. An example of a polymeric tougheners wherein the functional groups are copolymerized into the polymer is a copolymer of ethylene and a (meth)acrylate monomer containing the appropriate functional group. By (meth)acrylate herein is meant the compound may be either an acrylate, a methacrylate, or a mixture of the two. Useful (meth)acrylate functional compounds include (meth)acrylic acid, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, and 2-isocyanatoethyl (meth)acrylate. In addition to ethylene and a functional (meth)acrylate monomer, other monomers may be copolymerized into such a polymer, such as vinyl acetate, unfunctionalized (meth)acrylate esters such as ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, and cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate. Preferred toughening agents include those listed in U.S. Patent 4,753,980, which is hereby included by reference. Especially preferred tougheners are copolymers of ethylene, ethyl acrylate or n-butyl acrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate, such as EBAGMA and ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymers.
It is preferred that the polymeric toughener contain about 0.5 to about 20 weight percent of repeat units derived from monomers containing functional groups, preferably about 1.0 to about 15 weight percent, more preferably about 7 to about 13 weight percent of repeat units derived from monomers containing functional groups. There may be more than one type of repeat unit derived from functionalized monomer present in the polymeric toughener. It has been found that toughness of the composition is increased by increasing the amount of polymeric toughener and/or the amount of functional groups. However, these amounts should preferably not be
increased to the point that the composition may crosslink, especially before the final part shape is attained.
The polymeric toughener may also be thermoplastic acrylic polymers that are not copolymers of ethylene. The thermoplastic acrylic polymers are made by polymerizing acrylic acid, acrylate esters (such as methyl acrylate, π-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, n-hexyl acrylate, and /7-octyl acrylate), methacrylic acid, and methacrylate esters (such as methyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate (BA), isobutyl methacrylate, n-amyl methacrylate, n-octyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and the like). Copolymers derived from two or more of the forgoing types of monomers may also be used, as well as copolymers made by polymerizing one or more of the forgoing types of monomers with styrene, acryonitrile, butadiene, isoprene, and the like. Part or all of the components in these copolymers should preferably have a glass transition temperature of not higher than 0 0C. Preferred monomers for the preparation of a thermoplastic acrylic polymer toughening agent are methyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, /7-butyl acrylate, n-hexyl acrylate, and n-octyl acrylate.
It is preferred that a thermoplastic acrylic polymer toughening agent have a core-shell structure. The core-shell structure is one in which the core portion preferably has a glass transition temperature of 0 0C or less, while the shell portion is preferably has a glass transition temperature higher than that of the core portion. The core portion may be grafted with silicone. The shell section may be grafted with a low surface energy substrate such as silicone, fluorine, and the like. An acrylic polymer with a core-shell structure that has low surface energy substrates grafted to the surface will aggregate with itself during or after mixing with the thermoplastic polyester and other components of the composition of the invention and can be easily uniformly dispersed in the composition.
When present, the tougheners preferably comprise about 0.5 to about 15 weight percent, or more preferably about 1 to about 10 weight percent, or yet more preferably about 1 to about 5 weight percent, of the total weight of the composition.
The compositions may optionally contain up to about 3 weight percent of one or more oxidative stabilizers. Examples of suitable oxidative stabilizers include phosphite and hypophosphite stabilizers, hindered phenol stabilizers, hindered amine stabilizers, and thioesters. When present, the oxidative stabilizers comprise about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent, or preferably about 0.1 to about 1 weight percent, or
more preferably about 0.1 to about 0.6 weight percent, of the total weight of the composition.
The compositions may optionally further contain up to about 3 weight percent of ultraviolet light stabilizers or UV blockers. Examples include triazoles and triazines. When present, the ultraviolet light stabilizers comprise about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent, or preferably about 0.1 to about 1 weight percent, or more preferably about 0.1 to about 0.6 weight percent, of the total weight of the composition. The compositions are melt-mixed blends, wherein all of the polymeric components are well-dispersed within each other and all of the non-polymeric ingredients are well-dispersed in and bound by the polymer matrix, such that the blend forms a unified whole. Any melt-mixing method may be used to combine the polymeric components and non-polymeric ingredients of the present invention. For example, the polymeric components and non-polymeric ingredients may be added to a melt mixer, such as, for example, a single or twin-screw extruder; a blender; a kneader; or a Banbury mixer, either all at once through a single step addition, or in a stepwise fashion, and then melt-mixed. When adding the polymeric components and non-polymeric ingredients in a stepwise fashion, part of the polymeric components and/or non-polymeric ingredients are first added and melt-mixed with the remaining polymeric components and non-polymeric ingredients being subsequently added and further melt-mixed until a well-mixed composition is obtained.
The LED assembly housing of the present invention may be in the form of a single piece or may be formed by assembling two or more subparts. When it is in the form of a single piece, it is prepared from the PCT composition. When it is formed from two or more subparts, at least one of the parts is prepared from the PCT composition. When it is formed from two or more subparts, one or more of those parts may be metal, ceramic, or a polymeric material other than the PCT composition. The subparts may be connected mechanically, by gluing, or by overmolding a polymeric material over a metal or other polymeric part. The housing or housing subpart prepared from the composition used in the present invention may be formed from the PCT composition by any suitable melt-processing method known to those skilled in the art, such as injection molding or the like. The housing may be overmolded over a metal (such as copper or silver-coated copper) lead frame that can be used to make an electrical connection to an LED inserted into the housing. The housing preferably has a cavity in the portion of the housing that surrounds the LED, which serves to reflect the LED light in the outward direction and towards a lens, if one is present. The cavity may be in a cylindrical, conical, parabolic or other curved form, and preferably has a smooth surface. Alternatively,
the walls of the cavity may be parallel or substantially parallel to the diode. A lens may be formed over the diode cavity and may comprise an epoxy or silicone material.
The housings of the present invention may be incorporated into LED assemblies used in applications such as traffic signals, large area displays (including video displays), video screens, interior and exterior lighting, cellular telephone display backlights, automotive displays, vehicle brake lights, vehicle head lamps, laptop computer display backlights, pedestrian floor illumination, and flashlights.
