また、上記試料液を用いて、NMR測定又はIR測定を行う。それにより、NHCO基やアミノベンゾイル骨格に特徴的なスペクトルの有無を確認し、化学構造を特定する。
4)前記1)及び2)で得られた分子量と、前記3)で得られたNHCO基の数とを、前述の式(I)に当てはめてNHCO基当量(g/eq)を求める。
重合開始剤Cは、硬化性化合物Aを硬化反応させるための光重合開始剤である。但し、重合開始剤Cは、前述のアミノベンゾイル骨格を含まないものとする。
熱硬化性化合物Dは、分子内にエポキシ基を有するエポキシ化合物であることが好ましい。但し、熱硬化性化合物Dは、硬化性化合物Aとは異なるものとする。熱硬化性化合物Dは、分子内に(メタ)アクリロイル基を有さないエポキシ化合物であることがより好ましい。エポキシ化合物は、モノマー、オリゴマー又はポリマーのいずれであってもよい。エポキシ化合物は、例えば光硬化性樹脂組成物を液晶シール剤として用いた際に、液晶に対する溶解性や拡散性が低く、得られる液晶パネルの表示特性を良好とするだけでなく、硬化物の耐湿性を高め得る。
熱硬化剤Eは、通常の保存条件下(室温、可視光線下等)では熱硬化性化合物Dや(硬化性化合物Aが分子内にエポキシ基をさらに有する場合は)硬化性化合物Aを硬化させないが、熱を与えられると当該化合物を硬化させる化合物である。熱硬化剤Eを含有する光硬化性樹脂組成物は、保存安定性に優れ、且つ熱硬化性に優れる。熱硬化剤Eは、エポキシ硬化剤であることが好ましい。
1-6-1.熱可塑性樹脂粒子
本発明の光硬化性樹脂組成物は、必要に応じて熱可塑性樹脂粒子をさらに含んでいてもよい。熱可塑性樹脂粒子は、環球法により測定される軟化点温度が50~120℃、好ましくは70~100℃の熱可塑性樹脂を含み、且つ数平均粒子径が0.05~5μm、好ましくは0.1~3μmでありうる。そのような熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含む光硬化性樹脂組成物は、硬化物に発生する収縮応力を緩和できる。また、数平均粒子径を上限値以下とすることにより、線幅の細いシール部材を形成する際に、熱可塑性樹脂粒子によって、塗工安定性が低下することを防ぐことができる。数平均粒子径は、乾式粒度分布計で測定されうる。
本発明の光硬化性樹脂組成物は、必要に応じて充填剤をさらに含んでいてもよい。充填剤を含む光硬化性樹脂組成物は、粘度や硬化物の強度、及び線膨張性等が良好でありうる。
本発明の光硬化性樹脂組成物の、E型粘度計の25℃、2.5rpmにおける粘度は、200~450Pa・sであることが好ましく、300~400Pa・sであることがより好ましい。粘度が上記範囲にあると、光硬化性樹脂組成物のディスペンサーによる塗布性が良好となる。
表示素子パネルは、一対の基板と、該一対の基板の間に配置される表示素子と、該表示素子を封止するシール部材とを含む。シール部材を、本発明の表示素子シール剤の硬化物としうる。本発明の表示素子シール剤は、本発明の光硬化性樹脂組成物からなる。
