According to the findings of the present inventors, with conventional photocurable sealants, when the sealant is discharged from the coating device, bending of the discharged liquid, variations in the amount of discharged liquid, etc. occur, and this causes the coating to be applied. There were cases where the film became uneven in thickness and the flatness of the coating film decreased.

However, organic EL elements have a problem in that they are degraded by oxygen and moisture, resulting in reduced light-emitting characteristics. In order to solve this problem, techniques for sealing organic EL elements and preventing deterioration are being considered.
　封止方法の一つとして、例えば特許文献１には、重合性化合物と重合開始剤とを含有し、２５℃における粘度が５～５０ｍＰａ・ｓであり、２５℃における表面張力が１５～３５ｍＮ／ｍであり、かつ、２５℃、５０％ＲＨの環境下に２４時間静置した後の２５℃における含水率が１０００ｐｐｍ以下である、有機ＥＬ素子用封止剤が記載されている。 As one of the sealing methods, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a sealing method that contains a polymerizable compound and a polymerization initiator, has a viscosity of 5 to 50 mPa·s at 25°C, and has a surface tension of 15 to 35 mN/s at 25°C. The encapsulant for organic EL elements is described, which has a water content of 1000 ppm or less at 25° C. after standing for 24 hours in an environment of 25° C. and 50% RH.

Photocurable encapsulants do not require heating during sealing, so they can form encapsulants without exposing organic EL elements to high heat, and have the advantage of suppressing deformation and deterioration of organic EL elements due to high heat. has.

　しかし、従来の光硬化性封止剤では、高温高湿下の耐久試験において、ダークスポットの発生を十分に抑制することが困難であった。 However, with conventional photocurable sealants, it was difficult to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of dark spots in durability tests under high temperature and high humidity conditions.
　そこで本発明は、高温高湿下でのダークスポットの発生を顕著に抑制可能な、有機ＥＬ素子用封止剤を提供することを目的とする。また、本発明は、当該有機ＥＬ素子用封止剤から形成される封止材、及び、当該封止材を備える有機ＥＬ表示装置を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an encapsulant for organic EL elements that can significantly suppress the occurrence of dark spots under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sealant formed from the sealant for organic EL elements, and an organic EL display device including the sealant.

　本発明者らの知見によれば、本実施形態の封止剤では、不飽和脂環式モノマー中の不飽和脂肪族炭化水素環が酸素トラップとして機能するため、重合時の酸素による重合阻害が抑制され、硬化体（封止材）中の未反応モノマーが低減される。このため、本実施形態では、有機ＥＬ素子上の無機保護膜の欠陥から未反応モノマーが侵入することによる有機ＥＬ素子の劣化、ダークスポットの発生が抑制されると考えられる。
　また、本実施形態の封止剤は、不飽和脂環式モノマーが不飽和脂肪族炭化水素環を有するため、硬化体（封止材）中に残存した不飽和脂肪族炭化水素環が酸素トラップとして機能し、酸素の侵入による有機ＥＬ素子の劣化、ダークスポットの発生が抑制されると考えられる。 Although the reason why the sealant of this embodiment achieves the above effects is not necessarily limited, the following reasons can be considered.
According to the findings of the present inventors, in the sealing agent of this embodiment, the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon ring in the unsaturated alicyclic monomer functions as an oxygen trap, so that polymerization inhibition by oxygen during polymerization is prevented. The amount of unreacted monomer in the cured product (sealing material) is reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is considered that deterioration of the organic EL element and generation of dark spots due to the intrusion of unreacted monomers from defects in the inorganic protective film on the organic EL element are suppressed.
In addition, in the sealing agent of this embodiment, since the unsaturated alicyclic monomer has an unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon ring, the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon ring remaining in the cured product (sealing material) traps oxygen. It is thought that the organic EL element functions as such, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the organic EL element and the generation of dark spots due to the intrusion of oxygen.
　また、本実施形態の封止剤は、塗布装置からの吐出性に優れる。具体的には、本実施形態の封止剤によれば、塗布装置からの吐出時に、吐出液の曲がり、吐出液量のばらつき等が抑制され、良好な吐出性が維持される。これにより、本実施形態の封止剤によれば、厚みムラが顕著に少ない、平坦性に優れた塗膜を形成できる。また、本実施形態の封止剤によれば、有機ＥＬ素子の信頼性向上に寄与する封止材を形成することができる。 Furthermore, the sealant of this embodiment has excellent discharge properties from the coating device. Specifically, according to the sealant of this embodiment, when the sealant is discharged from the coating device, bending of the discharged liquid, variation in the amount of the discharged liquid, etc. are suppressed, and good dischargeability is maintained. As a result, according to the sealant of the present embodiment, a coating film with significantly less uneven thickness and excellent flatness can be formed. Moreover, according to the encapsulant of this embodiment, it is possible to form a encapsulant that contributes to improving the reliability of organic EL elements.
　本実施形態の封止剤により上記効果が奏される理由は必ずしも限定されないが、以下の理由が考えられる。
　本発明者らの知見によれば、従来の光硬化性封止剤では、塗布装置から封止剤を吐出する際に、吐出液の曲がり、吐出液量のばらつき等が生じて、これにより塗膜に厚みムラ生じ、塗膜の平坦性が低下する場合があった。この原因として、光硬化性封止剤は、封止剤の使用前（例えば保管中、運搬中、等）に意図しない重合が生じやすく、当該重合によって生じた微細なパーティクルが、塗布装置の流路を狭めて、吐出液の曲がり、吐出液量のばらつき等を生じさせると考えられる。
　本実施形態の封止剤では、安定ラジカル型化合物を含有することで、光硬化性封止剤でありながら、使用前（例えば保管中、運搬中、等）の意図しない重合、及び当該重合によるパーティクルの発生が顕著に抑制される。このため、本実施形態の封止剤では、パーティクルに起因する塗布不良が抑制されて、塗布装置からの優れた吐出性、及び、塗布後の塗膜の高い平坦性が実現される。 Although the reason why the sealant of this embodiment achieves the above effects is not necessarily limited, the following reasons can be considered.
According to the findings of the present inventors, with conventional photocurable sealants, when the sealant is discharged from the coating device, bending of the discharged liquid, variations in the amount of discharged liquid, etc. occur, and this causes the coating to be applied. There were cases where the film became uneven in thickness and the flatness of the coating film decreased. The reason for this is that photocurable sealants tend to undergo unintentional polymerization before use (for example, during storage, transportation, etc.), and the fine particles generated by the polymerization may flow through the coating equipment. It is thought that this narrows the path, causing bending of the ejected liquid, variations in the amount of ejected liquid, and the like.
The sealant of this embodiment contains a stable radical type compound, so that although it is a photocurable sealant, there is no possibility of unintentional polymerization before use (for example, during storage, transportation, etc.) or due to the polymerization. Generation of particles is significantly suppressed. Therefore, with the sealant of the present embodiment, coating defects caused by particles are suppressed, and excellent discharge properties from the coating device and high flatness of the coated film after coating are achieved.
　また、従来の光硬化性封止剤では、光照射時に、塗膜の厚みムラ、照射量のばらつき等に起因して、光重合開始剤、光重合開始剤から生成したラジカル種、重合過程で生じるラジカル種等の反応点が硬化体中に残存する場合があった。そして、このような反応点の残存があることで、封止作業後の硬化体中で更なる重合が起こり、硬化体が硬化収縮する場合があった。通常、有機ＥＬ素子と封止材（封止剤の硬化体）との間には、膜厚１μｍ程度の無機保護膜が設けられるが、硬化収縮が生じると無機保護膜に負荷がかかってクラックを発生しやすく、クラックからの水又は酸素の侵入によって有機ＥＬ素子の信頼性が低下する場合があった。
　本実施形態の封止剤は、安定ラジカル型化合物を含有することで、硬化体中に上述の反応点が残存しにくく、また、反応点からの更なる重合も抑制される。また、本実施形態の封止剤は、不飽和脂環式モノマーを含有することで、上述のとおり硬化体中に未反応モノマーが残存し難いため、反応点の残存が少なくなり、硬化体中での更なる重合が抑制される。このため、本実施形態の封止剤によれば、反応点に起因する変質が生じ難く、硬化収縮による無機保護膜の損傷を抑制でき、有機ＥＬ素子の信頼性向上に寄与する封止材を形成できる。 In addition, with conventional photocurable encapsulants, during light irradiation, due to uneven coating film thickness, variations in irradiation amount, etc., the photopolymerization initiator, radical species generated from the photopolymerization initiator, and the like during the polymerization process. Reaction points such as generated radical species may remain in the cured product. When such reaction points remain, further polymerization occurs in the cured product after the sealing operation, and the cured product may harden and shrink. Normally, an inorganic protective film with a thickness of about 1 μm is provided between the organic EL element and the encapsulant (hardened encapsulant), but when curing shrinkage occurs, stress is applied to the inorganic protective film and cracks occur. The reliability of the organic EL device may be lowered due to the intrusion of water or oxygen through the cracks.
Since the sealant of this embodiment contains a stable radical type compound, the above-mentioned reaction points are unlikely to remain in the cured product, and further polymerization from the reaction points is also suppressed. Furthermore, by containing the unsaturated alicyclic monomer, the sealant of this embodiment makes it difficult for unreacted monomers to remain in the cured product as described above, resulting in fewer reaction points remaining in the cured product. Further polymerization at is inhibited. Therefore, according to the encapsulant of this embodiment, deterioration due to reaction points is difficult to occur, damage to the inorganic protective film due to curing shrinkage can be suppressed, and the encapsulant contributes to improving the reliability of organic EL elements. Can be formed.

　光重合開始剤としては、３９０ｎｍ以上の可視光線のみを用いて硬化させることができ、有機ＥＬ素子にダメージを与えずに硬化可能であることから、アシルホスフィンオキサイド型光重合開始剤が好ましい。アシルホスフィンオキサイド型光重合開始剤としては、硬化体の透明性がより向上する点及び３９５ｎｍ以上の光のみを用いて硬化可能である点で、２，４，６－トリメチルベンゾイル－ジフェニル－ホスフィンオキサイドが好ましい。２，４，６－トリメチルベンゾイル－ジフェニル－ホスフィンオキサイドとしては、ＩＧＭ　Ｒｅｓｉｎｓ社製「Ｏｍｎｉｒａｄ　ＴＰＯ」等が挙げられる。 As the photopolymerization initiator, an acylphosphine oxide type photopolymerization initiator is preferable because it can be cured using only visible light of 390 nm or more and can be cured without damaging the organic EL element. As an acylphosphine oxide type photopolymerization initiator, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenyl-phosphine oxide is preferred because it further improves the transparency of the cured product and can be cured using only light of 395 nm or more. is preferred.

　光重合開始剤の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば０．０５質量部以上であってよく、好ましくは０．５質量部以上、より好ましくは１質量部以上、更に好ましくは２質量部以上である。また、光重合開始剤の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば１０質量部以下であってよく、好ましくは８質量部以下、より好ましくは５質量部以下である。このような含有量であると、封止剤の十分な感度及び硬化速度を得つつ、封止材の十分な透明度を確保しやすい傾向がある。
　すなわち、光重合開始剤の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば０．０５～１０質量部、０．０５～８質量部、０．０５～５質量部、０．５～１０質量部、０．５～８質量部、０．５～５質量部、１～１０質量部、１～８質量部、１～５質量部、２～１０質量部、２～８質量部又は２～５質量部であってもよい。 The content of the photopolymerization initiator may be, for example, 0.05 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 1 part by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the radically polymerizable compound.

（安定ラジカル型化合物）
　安定ラジカル型化合物は、安定ラジカルを有する化合物である。光重合開始剤は１種を単独で用いてよく、２種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。 (Stable radical type compound)
A stable radical type compound is a compound having a stable radical. One type of photopolymerization initiator may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
　安定ラジカルとしては、ニトロキシドラジカル（ＮＯラジカル）が好ましい。すなわち、安定ラジカル型化合物としては、ニトロキシドラジカルを有する化合物が好ましい。ニトロキシドラジカルは、ラジカル重合性化合物との相溶性及び反応性に優れるため、ラジカル種をすばやく捕捉することができる。 As the stable radical, a nitroxide radical (NO radical) is preferable. That is, as the stable radical type compound, a compound having a nitroxide radical is preferable. Since nitroxide radicals have excellent compatibility and reactivity with radically polymerizable compounds, they can quickly capture radical species.
　有機ＥＬ表示装置の製造工程では、有機ＥＬ素子が酸素によって劣化することから、１ｐｐｍ未満の低酸素濃度で管理され、有機ＥＬ素子用封止剤も低酸素濃度で使用される。ここで、ラジカル重合性化合物の重合抑制のために用いられる一般的なフェノール系酸化防止剤は、重合抑制機能を発揮する過程で酸素との反応を要する。このため、フェノール系酸化防止剤は、有機ＥＬ素子用封止剤において重合抑制機能を発揮することが難しい。これに対して、安定ラジカル（特にニトロキシドラジカル）を有する安定ラジカル型化合物は、酸素の有無に関わらずラジカル種を捕捉できるため、上述の効果を顕著に得ることができる。 In the manufacturing process of organic EL display devices, since organic EL elements are degraded by oxygen, they are managed at a low oxygen concentration of less than 1 ppm, and the sealant for organic EL elements is also used at a low oxygen concentration. Here, the general phenolic antioxidant used for inhibiting the polymerization of radically polymerizable compounds requires a reaction with oxygen in the process of exhibiting the polymerization inhibiting function. For this reason, it is difficult for phenolic antioxidants to exhibit a polymerization inhibiting function in sealants for organic EL elements. On the other hand, stable radical-type compounds having stable radicals (particularly nitroxide radicals) can capture radical species regardless of the presence or absence of oxygen, and therefore can significantly obtain the above-mentioned effects.
　安定ラジカル型化合物としては、例えば、１－オキシル－２，２，６，６－テトラメチルピペリジン、４－ヒドロキシ－２，２，６，６－テトラメチルピペリジン１－オキシル、４－（メタ）アクリロイルオキシ－２，２，６，６－テトラメチルピペリジン１－オキシル等が挙げられ、硬化体中に取り込まれてアウトガスとなりにくい観点からは、４－（メタ）アクリロイルオキシ－２，２，６，６－テトラメチルピペリジン１－オキシルが好ましく、４－メタクリロイルオキシ－２，２，６，６－テトラメチルピペリジン１－オキシルがより好ましい。 Examples of stable radical type compounds include 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl, and 4-(meth)acryloyl. Examples include oxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, and 4-(meth)acryloyloxy-2,2,6,6 from the viewpoint of being less likely to be incorporated into the cured product and cause outgassing. -Tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl is preferred, and 4-methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl is more preferred.
　安定ラジカル型化合物の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば１質量ｐｐｍ以上であってよく、好ましくは１０質量ｐｐｍ以上、より好ましくは５０質量ｐｐｍ以上、更に好ましくは１００質量ｐｐｍ以上である。また、安定ラジカル型化合物の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば１５０００質量ｐｐｍ以下であってよく、好ましくは１００００質量ｐｐｍ以下、より好ましくは８０００質量ｐｐｍ以下、更に好ましくは６０００質量ｐｐｍ以下である。適量の安定ラジカル型化合物を用いることで、上述の効果がより顕著に奏される。
　すなわち、安定ラジカル型化合物の含有量は、ラジカル重合性化合物１００質量部に対して、例えば１～１５０００質量ｐｐｍ、１～１００００質量ｐｐｍ、１～８０００質量ｐｐｍ、１～６０００質量ｐｐｍ、１０～１５０００質量ｐｐｍ、１０～１００００質量ｐｐｍ、１０～８０００質量ｐｐｍ、１０～６０００質量ｐｐｍ、５０～１５０００質量ｐｐｍ、５０～１００００質量ｐｐｍ、５０～８０００質量ｐｐｍ、５０～６０００質量ｐｐｍ、１００～１５０００質量ｐｐｍ、１００～１００００質量ｐｐｍ、１００～８０００質量ｐｐｍ又は１００～６０００質量ｐｐｍであってもよい。 The content of the stable radical type compound may be, for example, 1 mass ppm or more, preferably 10 mass ppm or more, more preferably 50 mass ppm or more, and even more preferably 100 mass ppm, based on 100 parts by mass of the radically polymerizable compound. ppm or more. Further, the content of the stable radical type compound may be, for example, 15,000 mass ppm or less, preferably 10,000 mass ppm or less, more preferably 8,000 mass ppm or less, and even more preferably It is 6000 mass ppm or less. By using an appropriate amount of a stable radical type compound, the above-mentioned effects can be more pronounced.
That is, the content of the stable radical type compound is, for example, 1 to 15,000 mass ppm, 1 to 10,000 mass ppm, 1 to 8,000 mass ppm, 1 to 6,000 mass ppm, 10 to 15,000 mass ppm with respect to 100 parts by mass of the radically polymerizable compound.

　上記光源は、各々放射波長やエネルギー分布が異なる。そのため、上記光源は光重合開始剤の反応波長等により適宜選択されてよい。また、自然光（太陽光）も反応開始光源になり得る。 The above light sources have different emission wavelengths and energy distributions. Therefore, the light source may be appropriately selected depending on the reaction wavelength of the photopolymerization initiator.

　本実施形態の封止剤を用いて有機ＥＬ素子を封止する方法としては、例えば、下記の封止方法等が挙げられる。 Examples of the method for sealing an organic EL element using the sealant of this embodiment include the following sealing method.
・封止方法
　有機ＥＬ素子が設置された基板を準備し、当該基板の有機ＥＬ素子が設置された面の上に、封止剤を塗布し、封止剤の塗膜を形成する。次いで、塗膜に光を照射して、封止剤の硬化体からなる封止材を形成する。これにより、有機ＥＬ素子が封止材により封止される。 - Sealing method A substrate on which an organic EL element is installed is prepared, and a sealant is applied on the surface of the substrate on which the organic EL element is installed to form a coating film of the sealant. Next, the coating film is irradiated with light to form a sealant made of a cured sealant. Thereby, the organic EL element is sealed with the sealing material.
　封止剤の塗布には、インクジェット方式を採用することが好ましい。有機ＥＬ表示装置の製造では、複数の有機ＥＬ素子が設置された大面積の基板上に封止剤を塗布する必要がある。本実施形態の封止剤は、インクジェット方式であっても高い吐出性を維持しつつ塗布を行うことができるため、大面積の基板上に均一に塗膜を形成できる。 It is preferable to use an inkjet method for applying the sealant. In manufacturing an organic EL display device, it is necessary to apply a sealant onto a large-area substrate on which a plurality of organic EL elements are installed. The sealant of this embodiment can be applied while maintaining high ejection properties even when using an inkjet method, so that a coating film can be uniformly formed on a large-area substrate.
　封止剤の塗膜の膜厚は、例えば１μｍ以上であってよく、好ましくは３μｍ以上である。これにより、十分な封止能を有する封止材が形成されやすくなる。また、封止剤の塗膜の膜厚は、例えば１０μｍ以下であってよく、好ましくは９μｍ以下である。これにより、有機ＥＬ表示装置の小型化、製造コストの削減等が期待される。すなわち、封止剤の塗膜の膜厚は、例えば１～１０μｍ、１～９μｍ、３～１０μｍ又は３～９μｍであってもよい。 The thickness of the coating film of the sealant may be, for example, 1 μm or more, and preferably 3 μm or more. This makes it easier to form a sealing material having sufficient sealing ability. Further, the thickness of the coating film of the sealant may be, for example, 10 μm or less, and preferably 9 μm or less. This is expected to reduce the size of organic EL display devices and reduce manufacturing costs. That is, the thickness of the coating film of the sealant may be, for example, 1 to 10 μm, 1 to 9 μm, 3 to 10 μm, or 3 to 9 μm.

Hole injection layer (polymer HIL): 60nm
Hole transport layer (α-NPD): 30nm
Light-emitting layer (Ir(ppy) 3 +CBP [6%]): 30 nm
Hole blocking layer (BAlq): 10nm
Electron transport layer (Alq 3 ): 30 nm
Electron injection layer (LiF): 0.8nm
Cathode (MgAg/IZO): 10nm/100nm

Next, using a Fujifilm inkjet device (product number: DMP2850) under a nitrogen atmosphere, droplets of sealant were applied to cover the 2 mm x 2 mm organic EL element to obtain a coating film with a thickness of 10 μm. Ta. After that, in a nitrogen atmosphere, light with a wavelength of 395 nm was emitted using an LED lamp (UV-LED LIGHT SOURCE H-4MLH200-V1 manufactured by HOYA) so that the cumulative light amount was 1,500 mJ/cm 2 . was irradiated onto the coating film. A cured film was thus obtained. A mask (cover) having an opening of 10 mm x 10 mm was placed so as to cover the entire cured film, and a SiN film was formed by plasma CVD. The thickness of the formed SiN (inorganic film) was about 1 μm. Thereby, a sealed body of an organic EL element was obtained.
The obtained sealed body was bonded to a 30 mm x 30 mm x 0.7 mm thick alkali-free glass (Eagle XG manufactured by Corning) using a 30 mm x 30 mm x 25 μm thick transparent base material-less double-sided tape. In this way, an organic EL display device for evaluation was manufactured.
- Reliability test The organic EL display device for evaluation was left standing in a high temperature and high humidity environment of 85° C. and 85% RH for 500 hours. Before and after this high-temperature, high-humidity treatment, a current was applied to the organic EL display device for evaluation, and the light-emitting surface was photographed. The photographed images (images before high-temperature, high-humidity treatment and images after high-temperature, high-humidity treatment) were analyzed using Innotek's image analysis software "Quick Grain" to determine the luminescent area. Then, the luminescent area reduction rate (%) before and after the high temperature and high humidity treatment was calculated.
