It is highly suppressed and it can be seen that the resulting cured product has a high reflectance. This is presumably because the pre-oligomerized silane compound has less volume change due to polymerization than the monomeric silane compound.

It is possible to provide a coating liquid capable of obtaining a cured film that can be maintained for a long period of time and an LED device using the coating liquid.

Abstract

L'objet de la présente invention est de produire : un liquide de revêtement qui minimise de manière appropriée les fissures pendant le traitement thermique, et qui rend possible l'obtention d'une pellicule traitée thermiquement présentant une réflectance élevée et la capacité à conserver ladite réflectance sur une longue période lorsque, par exemple, une pellicule de revêtement formée sur un substrat pour un dispositif à DEL est traitée thermiquement pour obtenir une couche réfléchissante ; et un dispositif à DEL qui utilise le liquide de revêtement. Ce liquide de revêtement contient un pigment blanc, un composé de silane, et un solvant. Le liquide de revêtement satisfait 0 ≤ R2 ≤ 40 (formule 1) et 0 ≤ R4/R3 ≤ 2 (formule 2) lorsque, dans la quantité totale du composé de silane, le ratio d'un composé de silane bifonctionnel est représenté par R2 (% mol), le ratio d'un composé de silane trifonctionnel est représenté par R3 (% mol), et le ratio d'un composé de silane tétrafonctionnel est représenté par R4 (% mol). En outre, le ratio volumique B/A du liquide de revêtement avant et après le traitement thermique satisfait 0,2 ≤ B/A ≤ 0,7 (formule 3) lorsque le volume du liquide de revêtement est représenté par A et que le volume d'un produit traité thermiquement obtenu par traitement thermique du liquide de revêtement est représenté par B.
