Description

有機ＥＬ表示素子用封止剤Sealant for organic EL display element
本発明は、インクジェット法により容易に塗布することができ、低アウトガス性に優れ、かつ、耐屈曲性に優れる硬化物を得ることができる有機ＥＬ表示素子用封止剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a sealant for an organic EL display element that can be easily applied by an ink jet method, can obtain a cured product that is excellent in low outgassing properties and excellent in bending resistance.
有機エレクトロルミネッセンス（以下、「有機ＥＬ」ともいう）表示素子は、互いに対向する一対の電極間に有機発光材料層が挟持された積層体構造を有し、この有機発光材料層に一方の電極から電子が注入されるとともに他方の電極から正孔が注入されることにより有機発光材料層内で電子と正孔とが結合して発光する。このように有機ＥＬ表示素子は自己発光を行うことから、バックライトを必要とする液晶表示素子等と比較して視認性がよく、薄型化が可能であり、しかも直流低電圧駆動が可能であるという利点を有している。 An organic electroluminescence (hereinafter, also referred to as “organic EL”) display element has a laminated structure in which an organic light emitting material layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes facing each other, and the organic light emitting material layer is formed from one electrode on the organic light emitting material layer. When electrons are injected and holes are injected from the other electrode, the electrons and holes are combined in the organic light emitting material layer to emit light. Thus, since the organic EL display element performs self-emission, it has better visibility than a liquid crystal display element that requires a backlight, can be reduced in thickness, and can be driven by a DC low voltage. Has the advantage.
有機ＥＬ表示素子を構成する有機発光材料層や電極は、水分や酸素等により特性が劣化しやすいという問題がある。従って、実用的な有機ＥＬ表示素子を得るためには、有機発光材料層や電極を大気と遮断して長寿命化を図る必要がある。特許文献１には、有機ＥＬ表示素子の有機発光材料層と電極とを、ＣＶＤ法により形成した窒化珪素膜と樹脂膜との積層膜により封止する方法が開示されている。ここで樹脂膜は、窒化珪素膜の内部応力による有機層や電極への圧迫を防止する役割を有する。 The organic light-emitting material layer and electrodes constituting the organic EL display element have a problem that the characteristics are easily deteriorated by moisture, oxygen, and the like. Therefore, in order to obtain a practical organic EL display element, it is necessary to extend the life by blocking the organic light emitting material layer and the electrode from the atmosphere. Patent Document 1 discloses a method of sealing an organic light emitting material layer and an electrode of an organic EL display element with a laminated film of a silicon nitride film and a resin film formed by a CVD method. Here, the resin film has a role of preventing pressure on the organic layer and the electrode due to internal stress of the silicon nitride film.
特許文献１に開示された窒化珪素膜で封止を行う方法では、有機ＥＬ表示素子の表面の凹凸や異物の付着、内部応力によるクラックの発生等により、窒化珪素膜を形成する際に有機発光材料層や電極を完全に被覆できないことがある。窒化珪素膜による被覆が不完全であると、水分が窒化珪素膜を通して有機発光材料層内に浸入してしまう。
有機発光材料層内への水分の浸入を防止するための方法として、特許文献２には、無機材料膜と樹脂膜とを交互に蒸着する方法が開示されており、特許文献３や特許文献４には、無機材料膜上に樹脂膜を形成する方法が開示されている。 In the method of sealing with a silicon nitride film disclosed in Patent Document 1, organic light emission occurs when a silicon nitride film is formed due to unevenness on the surface of the organic EL display element, adhesion of foreign matters, generation of cracks due to internal stress, or the like. The material layer or electrode may not be completely covered. If the coating with the silicon nitride film is incomplete, moisture will enter the organic light emitting material layer through the silicon nitride film.
As a method for preventing moisture from entering into the organic light emitting material layer, Patent Document 2 discloses a method of alternately depositing an inorganic material film and a resin film. Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 Discloses a method of forming a resin film on an inorganic material film.
樹脂膜を形成する方法として、インクジェット法を用いて基材上に封止剤を塗布した後、該封止剤を硬化させる方法がある。このようなインクジェット法による塗布方法を用いれば、高速かつ均一に樹脂膜を形成することができる。しかしながら、インクジェット法による塗布に適したものとするために封止剤を低粘度となるようにした場合、アウトガスが発生しやすいという問題があった。また、従来の封止剤を用いた場合、使用時の屈曲等により封止剤の硬化物にクラックや剥がれが発生して水分の浸入を充分に防止することができず、得られる有機ＥＬ表示素子が信頼性に劣るものとなることがあるという問題があった。 As a method for forming a resin film, there is a method in which a sealing agent is applied on a substrate using an inkjet method and then the sealing agent is cured. If such a coating method by the ink jet method is used, a resin film can be uniformly formed at high speed. However, when the sealant is made to have a low viscosity in order to be suitable for application by the ink jet method, there is a problem that outgas is likely to occur. In addition, when a conventional sealant is used, cracks or peeling occurs in the cured product of the sealant due to bending or the like during use, and the ingress of moisture cannot be sufficiently prevented, and the resulting organic EL display There was a problem that an element may be inferior in reliability.
