液晶滴下工法用シール剤、上下導通材料、及び、液晶表示素子Liquid crystal dropping method sealing agent, vertical conduction material, and liquid crystal display element
本発明は、光硬化性に優れ、かつ、液晶汚染を抑制することができる液晶滴下工法用シール剤に関する。また、本発明は、該液晶滴下工法用シール剤を用いてなる上下導通材料及び液晶表示素子に関する。 The present invention relates to a sealing agent for a liquid crystal dropping method, which is excellent in photocurability and can suppress liquid crystal contamination. Moreover, this invention relates to the vertical conduction material and liquid crystal display element which use this sealing compound for liquid crystal dropping methods.
近年、液晶表示セル等の液晶表示素子の製造方法としては、タクトタイム短縮、使用液晶量の最適化といった観点から、特許文献1、特許文献2に開示されているような、硬化性樹脂と光重合開始剤と熱硬化剤とを含有する光熱併用硬化型のシール剤を用いた滴下工法と呼ばれる液晶滴下方式が用いられている。
滴下工法では、まず、2枚の電極付き透明基板の一方に、ディスペンスにより長方形状のシールパターンを形成する。次いで、シール剤が未硬化の状態で液晶の微小滴を透明基板の枠内全面に滴下し、すぐに他方の透明基板を重ね合わせ、シール部に紫外線等の光を照射して仮硬化を行う。その後、液晶アニール時に加熱して本硬化を行い、液晶表示素子を作製する。基板の貼り合わせを減圧下で行うようにすれば、極めて高い効率で液晶表示素子を製造することができ、現在この滴下工法が液晶表示素子の製造方法の主流となっている。
In recent years, as a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element such as a liquid crystal display cell, a curable resin and a light as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 from the viewpoint of shortening tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used. A liquid crystal dropping method called a dropping method using a photothermal combined curing type sealing agent containing a polymerization initiator and a thermosetting agent is used.
In the dropping method, first, a rectangular seal pattern is formed on one of two transparent substrates with electrodes by dispensing. Next, a liquid crystal micro-droplet is dropped on the entire surface of the transparent substrate frame in a state where the sealant is uncured, and the other transparent substrate is immediately overlaid, and the seal portion is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet rays for temporary curing. . Thereafter, heating is performed at the time of liquid crystal annealing to perform main curing, and a liquid crystal display element is manufactured. If the substrates are bonded together under reduced pressure, a liquid crystal display element can be manufactured with extremely high efficiency, and this dripping method is currently the mainstream method for manufacturing liquid crystal display elements.
ところで、携帯電話、携帯ゲーム機等、各種液晶パネル付きモバイル機器が普及している現代において、装置の小型化は最も求められている課題である。装置の小型化の手法としては、液晶表示部の狭額縁化が挙げられ、例えば、シール部の位置をブラックマトリックス下に配置することが行われている(以下、狭額縁設計ともいう)。 By the way, in the present age when mobile devices with various liquid crystal panels such as mobile phones and portable game machines are widespread, downsizing of devices is the most demanded issue. As a method for reducing the size of the apparatus, there is a narrow frame of the liquid crystal display unit. For example, the position of the seal portion is arranged under the black matrix (hereinafter also referred to as a narrow frame design).
しかしながら、狭額縁設計ではシール剤がブラックマトリックスの直下に配置されるため、滴下工法を行うと、シール剤を光硬化させる際に照射した光が遮られ、シール剤の内部まで光が到達せず硬化が不充分となるという問題があった。このようにシール剤の硬化が不充分となると、未硬化のシール剤成分が液晶中に溶出し、溶出したシール剤成分による硬化反応が液晶中において進行することで液晶汚染が発生するという問題があった。 However, in the narrow frame design, the sealant is placed directly under the black matrix, so when the dripping method is used, the light irradiated when photocuring the sealant is blocked, and the light does not reach the inside of the sealant. There was a problem that the curing was insufficient. If the sealant is insufficiently cured in this manner, the uncured sealant component is eluted in the liquid crystal, and the curing reaction by the eluted sealant component proceeds in the liquid crystal, resulting in liquid crystal contamination. there were.
液晶汚染を抑制する方法として、特許文献3には、シール剤に高感度の光重合開始剤を配合することが開示されている。しかしながら、高感度の光重合開始剤を配合しただけでは、充分に液晶汚染を抑制することができなかった。 As a method for suppressing liquid crystal contamination, Patent Document 3 discloses that a highly sensitive photopolymerization initiator is blended with a sealant. However, liquid crystal contamination could not be sufficiently suppressed only by blending a highly sensitive photopolymerization initiator.
