접착 필름 및 이를 이용한 유기전자장치의 봉지 제품Adhesive film and encapsulation product of organic electronic device using same
본 발명의 구현예들은 접착 필름 및 이를 이용한 유기전자장치의 봉지 제품에 관한 것이다.Embodiments of the present invention relate to an adhesive film and an encapsulation product of an organic electronic device using the same.
유기전자장치(OED; organic electronic device)는 정공 및 전자를 이용하여 전하의 교류를 발생하는 유기 재료층을 포함하는 장치를 의미하며, 그 예로는, 광전지 장치(photovoltaic device), 정류기(rectifier), 트랜스미터(transmitter) 및 유기발광다이오드(OLED; organic light emitting diode) 등을 들 수 있다. An organic electronic device (OED) refers to a device including an organic material layer that generates an exchange of electric charges using holes and electrons, and examples thereof include a photovoltaic device, a rectifier, Transmitters and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs); and the like.
상기 유기전자장치 중 유기발광다이오드(OLED: Organic Light Emitting Didoe)는 기존 광원에 비하여, 전력 소모량이 적고, 응답 속도가 빠르며, 표시장치 또는 조명의 박형화에 유리하다. 또한, OLED는 공간 활용성이 우수하여, 각종 휴대용 기기, 모니터, 노트북 및 TV에 걸친 다양한 분야에서 적용될 것으로 기대되고 있다. Among the organic electronic devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have low power consumption, fast response speed, and are advantageous for thinning a display device or lighting, as compared with conventional light sources. In addition, OLED has excellent space utilization, and is expected to be applied in various fields including various portable devices, monitors, notebooks, and TVs.
OLED의 상용화 및 용도 확대에 있어서, 가장 주요한 문제점은 내구성 문제이다. OLED에 포함된 유기재료 및 금속 전극 등은 수분 등의 외부적 요인에 의해 매우 쉽게 산화되며, OLED를 포함하는 제품은 환경적 요인에 크게 민감하다. 따라서, 수분의 침투를 효과적으로 차단하면서 유기전자장치의 손상을 줄일 수 있고 장기 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있는 봉지재 개발이 요구되고 있다.In the commercialization of OLEDs and the expansion of their use, the main problem is durability. Organic materials and metal electrodes included in the OLED are easily oxidized by external factors such as moisture, and products including the OLED are highly sensitive to environmental factors. Accordingly, there is a need for development of an encapsulant that can effectively block the penetration of moisture while reducing damage to organic electronic devices and ensuring long-term reliability.

본 명세서에서, 용어 「유기전자장치」는 서로 대향하는 한 쌍의 전극 사이에 정공 및 전자를 이용하여 전하의 교류를 발생하는 유기재료층을 포함하는 구조를 갖는 물품 또는 장치를 의미하며, 그 예로는, 광전지 장치, 정류기, 트랜스미터 및 유기발광다이오드(OLED) 등을 들 수 있으나, 이에 제한되는 것은 아니다. 본 발명의 하나의 예시에서 상기 유기전자장치는 OLED일 수 있다.As used herein, the term "organic electronic device" means an article or device having a structure including an organic material layer that generates an exchange of electric charge using holes and electrons between a pair of electrodes facing each other. The photovoltaic device, a rectifier, a transmitter, and an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be mentioned, but is not limited thereto. In one example of the present invention, the organic electronic device may be an OLED.
상기 경화성 접착제는 상온에서는 고상(solid) 또는 반 고상(semi-solid)을 유지할 수 있으며, 열을 가하면 흐름성이 생겨 기포 없이 평판을 부착시킬 수 있고, 경화 반응이 종료되면 접착제로 대상물을 단단하게 고정시키는 형태의 접착제일 수 있다. The curable adhesive can maintain a solid or semi-solid at room temperature, and when heated, flow can be generated to attach a flat plate without bubbles, and when the curing reaction is finished, the object is hardened with an adhesive. It may be an adhesive in the form of fixing.
상기 접착 필름은 유기전자장치의 봉지 시 장기 신뢰성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 종래의 접착 필름, 특히 잠재성 경화제를 사용하는 접착 필름의 경우, 일반적으로 4℃ 내외의 온도 범위에서 보관하였다. 그러나, 본 발명의 구현예들에 따른 접착 필름은 0℃ 이하의 저장 온도에서 보관됨으로써 접착 필름 제조 시부터 존재할 수 있는 수분, 즉 접착 필름이 함습하는 수분이 보관 기간 도중에 매트릭스 내에서 이동하여 수분 흡착제와 반응함으로써, 접착 필름의 초기 수분 차단 능력에 비하여 보관 기간이 길어짐에 따라 수분 차단 능력이 저하되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 이는 매트릭스 내의 수분의 이동을 억제하는 요인 중 하나가 저장 온도가 영하인 것에 기인하는 것이다.The adhesive film is important to ensure long-term reliability when encapsulating the organic electronic device. In the case of conventional adhesive films, in particular adhesive films using latent curing agents, they have generally been stored in a temperature range of around 4 ° C. However, the adhesive film according to embodiments of the present invention is stored at a storage temperature of 0 ° C. or lower, so that moisture that may exist from the time of manufacture of the adhesive film, that is, moisture that the adhesive film is moistened, moves in the matrix during the storage period, thereby adsorbing the moisture adsorbent. By reacting with, it is possible to prevent the moisture barrier ability from being lowered as the storage period becomes longer than the initial moisture barrier ability of the adhesive film. This is one of the factors that inhibits the movement of moisture in the matrix due to the storage temperature below zero.
상기에서 0℃ 이하의 저장 온도는 예를 들면, -10℃ 내지 -4℃일 수 있으며, 이러한 저장 온도를 상기와 같은 범위 내로 유지할 때 수분 차단 능력의 감소를 방지할 수 있다. 또한, 너무 낮은 온도에서 보관할 경우, 추후 유기전자장치의 봉지 공정에 적용 시 상온으로 숙성(aging)하는 소요 시간(tack time)이 길어지게 되어, 공정의 생산성이 저하될 수도 있다.The storage temperature below 0 ° C may be, for example, -10 ° C to -4 ° C, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the moisture barrier ability when maintaining this storage temperature within the above range. In addition, when stored at too low a temperature, when applied to the encapsulation process of the organic electronic device later, the tack time (aging) to room temperature becomes long (long time), the productivity of the process may be reduced.
또한, 본 발명의 구현예들에 따른 접착 필름의 수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화는 1% 미만일 수 있다. 상기 접착 필름의 수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화를 상기 범위 내로 제어하는 경우, 유기전자장치의 수명을 길게 유지하고, 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 과도한 수분 흡착에 따른 접착력 하강을 방지하여 유기전자장치 패널의 계면 박리 현상을 방지할 수 있다.In addition, the change over time of the moisture blocking ability of the adhesive film according to embodiments of the present invention may be less than 1%. In the case of controlling the change of the water blocking ability of the adhesive film over the above range, the life of the organic electronic device can be maintained long, and the durability can be improved, and the adhesion strength due to excessive moisture adsorption can be prevented to reduce the The interfacial peeling phenomenon can be prevented.
접착 필름의 수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화가 1% 미만인 접착 필름은 하기 3 가지 조건 중 하나 이상을 만족한다. a) 수분 흡착제의 순도의 경시 변화가 10중량% 미만 b) 85℃, 85% 상대습도의 내구 조건 후 무게 증가율의 경시 변화가 0.2 % 미만 c) 수분의 침투 속도 경시 변화가 10% 미만.An adhesive film having a time-dependent change in the moisture barrier ability of the adhesive film of less than 1% satisfies at least one of the following three conditions. a) the change in purity of the moisture adsorbent over time by less than 10% by weight; b) the change over time in weight increase rate under the durability condition of 85 ° C. and 85% relative humidity.
수분 흡착제의 순도의 경시 변화는 X선 회절(X-ray Diffraction, XRD) 분석에 의해 측정할 수 있다. 금속 산화물의 경우, 각 입자의 고유값에 해당하는 피크가 있으며, 흡습에 따라 수분과 금속 산화물이 수화 반응하게 되면, 입자가 바뀌게 되어 금속 산화물의 순도가 떨어지게 된다. 예를 들어, 산화칼슘을 사용하는 경우, 보관 과정에서 수분과 반응한 산화 칼슘(CaO)은 수산화 칼슘(Ca(OH)2)이 되며, 이 경우, 산화 칼슘의 고유값에 해당하는 피크의 강도(그래프의 면적값)가 낮아지게 된다. 따라서, 접착 필름의 보관 시간에 따른 수분 흡착제의 순도의 변화가 10중량% 이상이 되면, 보관 과정에서 접착 필름 내 수분이 이동하여 수분 흡착제와 반응하게 된 것으로 접착 필름의 내구성이 저하된 것이다.The change in the purity of the water adsorbent over time can be measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In the case of the metal oxide, there is a peak corresponding to the intrinsic value of each particle. When the water and the metal oxide hydrate by the moisture absorption, the particles are changed and the purity of the metal oxide is reduced. For example, when calcium oxide is used, calcium oxide (CaO) reacted with moisture during storage becomes calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2 ), in which case the intensity of the peak corresponding to the intrinsic value of calcium oxide (Area value of graph) becomes low. Therefore, when the change in the purity of the water absorbent according to the storage time of the adhesive film is 10% by weight or more, the moisture in the adhesive film is moved during the storage process to react with the water absorbent is to reduce the durability of the adhesive film.
수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화는 보관 시간에 따른 접착 필름의 내구 조건 후 무게 증가율의 차이(무게 증가율의 경시 변화)에 의해서도 측정할 수 있다. 접착 필름의 수분 차단 능력의 변화가 미미한 경우에는, 보관 후 접착 필름을 내구 조건 하에서 일정 시간 방치할 경우, 수분 흡착 능력이 뛰어나 접착 필름의 무게 증가율이 높아질 것이다. 반대로 수분 차단 능력이 저하된 경우에는, 보관 후의 접착 필름이 내구 조건 하에서 일정 시간 방치되더라도, 수분 흡착 능력의 저하로 인해 접착 필름의 무게 증가율은 그렇지 않은 경우보다 낮아지게 된다. 따라서, 수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화가 일정 수준 이상일 경우에는, 보관 시간에 따른 접착 필름의 내구 조건 후 무게 증가율의 차이가 커지게 된다. 유기전자장치의 봉지 시 장기 신뢰성을 부여할 수 있는 접착 필름의 85℃, 85% 상대습도의 내구 조건 후 무게 증가율의 경시 변화는 0.2% 미만일 수 있다. 즉, 예를 들어, 보관 시간에 따른 접착 필름의 내구 조건 후 무게 증가율이 3.7%에서 3.5%까지만 적어진다는 것이다. 따라서, 보관 시간이 다른 접착 필름을 각각 내구 조건에 방치한 후, 무게 증가율을 측정하게 되면, 그 무게 증가율의 차이가 0.2% 미만일 경우, 수분 차단 능력의 경시변화가 1% 미만이 되게 된다. 일례로, 상기 무게 증가율은, 200㎛ 두께의 접착 필름을 경화시킨 후, 일정 크기로 재단하여 시편을 제조한 후, 상기 시편의 초기 무게를 기록하고, 85℃ 및 85%의 상대습도 하에서 상기 시편을 24시간 동안 방치한 후, 표면의 수분을 제거한 다음, 무게를 측정하여 초기 무게 대비 증가율을 계산할 수 있으며, 보관 시간이 다른 접착 필름의 무게 증가율의 차이를 계산하면 무게 증가율의 경시 변화를 측정할 수 있다.The change in the moisture blocking ability over time can also be measured by the difference in weight increase rate (time change in weight increase rate) after the durability condition of the adhesive film according to the storage time. In the case where the change in the moisture blocking ability of the adhesive film is insignificant, when the adhesive film is left for a certain period of time after storage, the moisture absorption ability is excellent and the weight increase rate of the adhesive film will be increased. On the contrary, in the case where the water blocking ability is lowered, even if the adhesive film after storage is left for a certain time under the durable condition, the weight increase rate of the adhesive film becomes lower than otherwise because of the decrease in the water adsorption capacity. Therefore, when the change over time of the moisture barrier ability is more than a certain level, the difference in weight increase rate after the durability condition of the adhesive film according to the storage time becomes large. The temporal change of the weight increase rate after the endurance condition of 85 ° C. and 85% relative humidity of the adhesive film which can give long-term reliability when encapsulating the organic electronic device may be less than 0.2%. That is, for example, the weight increase rate after the endurance conditions of the adhesive film according to the storage time is only less than 3.7% to 3.5%. Therefore, when the adhesive film having a different storage time is left to the endurance conditions, and then the weight increase rate is measured, when the difference in the weight increase rate is less than 0.2%, the time-dependent change in the moisture barrier ability is less than 1%. In one example, the weight increase rate, after curing the adhesive film of 200㎛ thickness, after cutting to a certain size to prepare a specimen, and record the initial weight of the specimen, the specimen under 85 ℃ and 85% relative humidity After leaving for 24 hours, the surface moisture can be removed, and then the weight can be calculated to calculate the increase in weight relative to the initial weight. Can be.
또한, 수분 차단 능력의 경시 변화는 보관 시간에 따른 접착 필름의 내구 조건 후 수분 침투 속도의 차이(수분 침투 속도 경시 변화)에 의해서도 측정할 수 있다. 이는 Calcium test를 통하여 측정할 수 있다. 도포된 Ca에 6mm bezel로 film을 봉지하여 85℃ 및 85%의 상대습도 하에서 수분 침투 속도를 측정한다. 수분의 침투 속도 경시 변화가 10% 미만일 수 있으며, 10% 이상의 경우 수분이 빠르게 침투하여 수분 차단능력이 저하되고 OLED 패널의 불량의 원인이 된다.In addition, the change over time of the moisture barrier ability can also be measured by the difference in moisture penetration rate (change in moisture penetration rate over time) after the durability condition of the adhesive film according to the storage time. This can be measured by the Calcium test. Encapsulate the film with 6mm bezel on the coated Ca and measure the rate of water penetration under 85 ° C. and 85% relative humidity. Changes in moisture penetration rate over time may be less than 10%, and in the case of more than 10%, moisture penetrates quickly, thereby degrading moisture blocking ability and causing OLED panel defects.

It can mean the temperature of. The said viscosity can be measured using ARES (Advanced Rheometric Expansion System). By adjusting the viscosity of the curable adhesive to the above range, it is possible to smooth the processability of the organic electronic device encapsulation process, it is possible to seal the plate with a uniform thickness. In addition, unlike liquid adhesives, problems such as shrinkage and volatilization gas, which may occur due to curing of the resin, may be greatly reduced, thereby preventing physical or chemical damage to the organic electronic device. In the present invention, as long as the adhesive maintains a solid or semi-solid state at room temperature, the upper limit of the viscosity is not particularly limited. For example, in consideration of processability, the upper limit of the viscosity is in the range of about 10 9 dyne / cm 2 or less. Can be controlled.
또한, 상기 접착 필름은 수분 차단 특성과 함께 기판과 상부 기판의 접착을 구조적으로 가능하게 하므로 유기전자장치의 패널 제조 시 제조 공정이 용이하며, 별도의 패시베이션 공정을 생략할 수 있어 제조 공정을 단순화할 수 있고, 유기전자장치의 봉지 두께를 낮춰 박막화에 기여할 수 있다.In addition, the adhesive film structurally enables the substrate and the upper substrate to be bonded together with the moisture barrier property, thereby facilitating the manufacturing process when manufacturing the panel of the organic electronic device and simplifying the manufacturing process by eliminating a separate passivation process. The thickness of the organic electronic device can be reduced, thereby contributing to thinning.
