引用文献6、7には、シリコーンゴム微粒子を用いて物理的に液晶の差し込みを防止する液晶滴下工法用液晶シール剤が開示されているが、シリコーンゴムの水蒸気透過性の高さから、耐湿信頼性に劣る。
なお、本明細書中、「(メタ)アクリル」とは「アクリル及び/又はメタクリル」を意味し、「(メタ)アクリロイル基」とは「アクリロイル基及び/又はメタクリロイル基」を意味する。
1)
有機フィラー(I)及び(メタ)アクリロイル基を有する硬化性化合物(II)を含有する液晶滴下工法用液晶シール剤であって、
上記有機フィラー(I)は、10%変位力が2.0MPa以下であり、かつ水蒸気透過率が100cc/m2・24h・atm未満であり、
上記硬化性化合物(II)の総量を100質量部とした場合に、上記有機フィラー(I)の含有量が20質量部以上である液晶滴下工法用液晶シール剤。

11)
上記1)乃至9)のいずれか一項に記載の液晶滴下工法用液晶シール剤を硬化して得られる硬化物でシールされた液晶表示セル。
背景技術の項でも述べた通り、液晶滴下工法では、液晶シール剤が硬化する前に液晶と液晶シール剤とが接触するため、液晶による圧力によって液晶シール剤に差込現象が発生し、また決壊してしまうこともある。
有機フィラー(I)の10%変位力が2.0MPaを超えると、上下基板の圧力では圧縮されず、堰が形成できないため、液晶の差し込みに十分に対抗できない。また、硬化性化合物(II)の総量100質量部に対して、有機フィラー(I)の含有量が20質量部より少ないと、形成される堰が一体のものとならず、すなわち多くの隙間を生じるため、やはり液晶の差し込みに十分に対抗できない。
なお、有機フィラー(I)の10%変位力とは、有機フィラー(I)を圧縮してその径を10%変位させるのに必要な力を意味し、例えば島津製作所製の微小圧縮試験機(MCT-510)を用いて測定することができる。
なお、水蒸気透過率は、JIS K 7126に記載の差圧法を用いたGTRテック株式会社製GTR-30Xで測定可能である。
スチレンゴムの市販品としては、ラバロンRTMT320C、T331C、SJ4400、SJ5400、SJ6400、SJ4300C、SJ5300C、SJ6300C(いずれも三菱化学製)が好ましい。
スチレンオレフィンゴムの市販品としては、セプトンRTMSEPS2004、SEPS2063(いずれもクラレ製)が好ましい。
アクリルゴムを使用する場合、2種類のアクリルゴムからなるコアシェル構造のアクリルゴムであってもよい。
なお、本明細書中、上付きの「RTM」は登録商標を意味する。
0μm≦A-B≦15.0μm・・・(1)
ここで、有機フィラーの粒度分布は、レーザー回折・散乱式粒度分布測定器(乾式)(株式会社セイシン企業製;LMS-30)等により測定することができる。この粒度分布は、フィラーの体積基準のデータが得られ、「90%D」という表現が用いられる。90%Dとは、粒度分布を測定し、横軸に粒子径、縦軸に体積分布の累積(%)をとったときに、体積分布の累積が90%に相当するときの粒子径を示し、粒度分布の指標となる。
上記式(1)を満たす90%Dを有する有機フィラー(I)を含有する液晶シール剤を用いた場合、上下基板の貼り合わせ後における有機フィラー(I)の体積基準で10%に相当する量がシールギャップの大きさにまで圧縮され、液晶の差し込みに対抗する。A-Bの値として、より好ましくは1.0μm以上13.0μm以下であり、さらに好ましくは2.0μm以上10.0μ以下である。
分級操作は、例えばジェットミル粉砕機JM-0202(株式会社セイシン企業製)にて解砕後、気流式分級機クラッシールN05(株式会社セイシン企業製)を用いて行うことができる。より効率的にこの操作を行うために、分散剤等を使用してもよい。
したがって、好ましい硬化性化合物(II)は、(メタ)アクリロイル基を有し、さらにレゾルシン骨格を有する硬化性化合物であり、例えば、レゾルシンジグリシジルエーテルのアクリル酸エステルやレゾルシンジグリシジルエーテルのメタクリル酸エステルである。

また、イミダゾール化合物としては、2-メチルイミダゾール、2-フェニルイミダゾール、2-ウンデシルイミダゾール、2-ヘプタデシルイミダゾール、2-フェニル-4-メチルイミダゾール、1-ベンジル-2-フェニルイミダゾール、1-ベンジル-2-メチルイミダゾール、1-シアノエチル-2-メチルイミダゾール、1-シアノエチル-2-フェニルイミダゾール、1-シアノエチル-2-ウンデシルイミダゾール、2,4-ジアミノ-6(2’-メチルイミダゾール(1’))エチル-s-トリアジン、2,4-ジアミノ-6(2’-ウンデシルイミダゾール(1’))エチル-s-トリアジン、2,4-ジアミノ-6(2’-エチル-4-メチルイミダゾール(1’))エチル-s-トリアジン、2,4-ジアミノ-6(2’-メチルイミダゾール(1’))エチル-s-トリアジン・イソシアヌル酸付加物、2-メチルイミダゾールイソシアヌル酸の2:3付加物、2-フェニルイミダゾールイソシアヌル酸付加物、2-フェニル-3,5-ジヒドロキシメチルイミダゾール、2-フェニル-4-ヒドロキシメチル-5-メチルイミダゾール、1-シアノエチル-2-フェニル-3,5-ジシアノエトキシメチルイミダゾール等が挙げられる。
