有機EL表示素子用封止剤Encapsulant for organic EL display elements
本発明は、透湿防止性及び接着性に優れ、信頼性に優れる有機EL表示素子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 sealing agent for an organic EL display element capable of obtaining an organic EL display element having excellent moisture permeation prevention property and adhesiveness and excellent reliability.
有機エレクトロルミネッセンス表示素子(有機EL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薄膜構造体を有する。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自己発光を行う。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、より薄型化が可能であり、かつ、直流低電圧駆動が可能であるという利点を有する。 The organic electroluminescence display element (organic EL display element) has a thin film structure in which an organic light emitting material layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes facing each other. Electrons are injected into the organic light emitting material layer from one electrode and holes are injected from the other electrode, so that electrons and holes are combined in the organic light emitting material layer to perform self-luminous emission. Compared to a liquid crystal display element or the like that requires a backlight, it has the advantages of better visibility, thinner size, and low DC voltage drive.
ところが、このような有機EL表示素子は、有機発光材料層や電極が外気に曝されるとその発光特性が急激に劣化し寿命が短くなるという問題がある。従って、有機EL表示素子の安定性及び耐久性を高めることを目的として、有機EL表示素子においては、有機発光材料層や電極を大気中の水分や酸素から遮断する封止技術が不可欠となっている。 However, such an organic EL display element has a problem that when the organic light emitting material layer or the electrode is exposed to the outside air, its light emitting characteristics are rapidly deteriorated and its life is shortened. Therefore, in order to improve the stability and durability of the organic EL display element, a sealing technology that shields the organic light emitting material layer and the electrode from the moisture and oxygen in the atmosphere is indispensable for the organic EL display element. There is.
特許文献1には、有機発光材料層を有する積層体を被覆して封止する有機充填層と、該有機充填層の側面を覆う吸湿シール層(封止壁)とを有する構成により、有機EL表示素子を封止する方法が開示されている。通常、有機EL表示素子用封止剤として、上記有機充填層には面内封止剤が用いられ、上記封止壁には面内封止剤とは構成成分の異なる周辺封止剤が用いられている。 Patent Document 1 includes an organic packed layer that covers and seals a laminate having an organic light emitting material layer, and a moisture-absorbing seal layer (sealing wall) that covers the side surface of the organic packed layer. A method of sealing a display element is disclosed. Usually, as a sealing agent for an organic EL display element, an in-plane sealing agent is used for the organic packed bed, and a peripheral sealing agent having a component different from that of the in-plane sealing agent is used for the sealing wall. Has been done.

本発明は、透湿防止性及び接着性に優れ、信頼性に優れる有機EL表示素子を得ることができる有機EL表示素子用封止剤を提供することを目的とする。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a sealing agent for an organic EL display element capable of obtaining an organic EL display element having excellent moisture permeation prevention property and adhesiveness and excellent reliability.

以下に本発明を詳述する。
The present invention contains a curable resin and a water-absorbent filler, and the curable resin contains a (meth) acrylic compound having no isocyanate group and a blocked isocyanate group, and an isocyanate compound or a blocked isocyanate, and the water-absorbing resin.

The present invention will be described in detail below.
本発明者らは、有機EL表示素子の表示領域を広く確保すること等の目的で、封止壁を薄くすることを検討した。しかしながら、封止壁を薄くするために周辺封止剤の線幅を狭くして(細線化して)塗布した場合、接着力が充分に得られなかったり、得られる有機EL表示素子が信頼性に劣るものとなったりすることがあった。特に、透湿防止性を向上させるために周辺封止剤に吸水性フィラーを多量に配合した場合、高温高湿環境下における接着性の低下が顕著であった。そこで本発明者らは、吸水性フィラーを多量に含有する有機EL表示素子用封止剤について、硬化性樹脂として、イソシアネート基及びブロックイソシアネート基を有さない(メタ)アクリル化合物と、イソシアネート化合物又はブロックイソシアネートとを含むものとすることを検討した。その結果、得られた有機EL表示素子用封止剤は、透湿防止性及び接着性に優れ、信頼性に優れる有機EL表示素子を得ることができるものとなることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。 The present inventors have studied to make the sealing wall thin for the purpose of securing a wide display area of the organic EL display element. However, when the line width of the peripheral sealant is narrowed (thinned) and applied in order to make the sealing wall thinner, sufficient adhesive strength cannot be obtained, or the obtained organic EL display element becomes reliable. It was sometimes inferior. In particular, when a large amount of water-absorbent filler was added to the peripheral sealant in order to improve the moisture permeation prevention property, the adhesiveness was significantly reduced in a high temperature and high humidity environment. Therefore, the present inventors have described as a curable resin a (meth) acrylic compound having no isocyanate group and a blocked isocyanate group, an isocyanate compound, or an isocyanate compound or a sealant for an organic EL display element containing a large amount of water-absorbent filler. It was considered to contain blocked isocyanate. As a result, they have found that the obtained sealing agent for an organic EL display element can obtain an organic EL display element having excellent moisture permeation prevention property and adhesiveness and excellent reliability, and completed the present invention.
