Description

Sealing agent for organic electroluminescent display element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sealing agent for an organic electroluminescent display element, which has excellent adhesion to a flexible substrate or the like and can suppress display defects caused by deterioration of the element.
Background
In recent years, organic optical devices using organic thin film elements such as organic electroluminescence (hereinafter also referred to as "organic EL") display elements and organic thin film solar cell elements have been studied. The organic thin film element can be easily produced by vacuum deposition, solution coating, or the like, and therefore has excellent productivity.
An organic EL display device has a thin-film structure in which an organic light-emitting material layer is sandwiched between a pair of electrodes facing each other. By injecting electrons from one electrode into the organic light emitting material layer and injecting holes from the other electrode, the electrons and holes are combined in the organic light emitting material layer to perform self-luminescence. The following advantages are provided as compared with a liquid crystal display element or the like which requires a backlight: the display device has better visibility, can be further thinned, and can be driven by direct current at low voltage.
However, such an organic EL display element has the following problems: when the organic light-emitting material layer or the electrode is exposed to an external gas, its light-emitting characteristics are rapidly deteriorated, and the lifetime is shortened. Therefore, for the purpose of improving the stability and durability of the organic EL display element, a sealing technique for sealing the organic light emitting material layer and the electrode from moisture or oxygen in the atmosphere is indispensable for the organic EL display element.
Patent document 1 discloses a method of sealing a space between organic EL display element substrates by filling a sealant in an upper surface emission type organic EL display element or the like. However, the conventional sealing agent has a problem that outgassing occurs during and after curing, and thus the element is easily deteriorated.

Problems to be solved by the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sealing agent for an organic electroluminescent display element, which has excellent adhesion to a flexible substrate or the like and can suppress display defects caused by deterioration of the element.
Means for solving the problems
The present invention is a sealing agent for an organic electroluminescent display element, which comprises a cationically polymerizable compound and a cationic polymerization initiator, wherein the cationically polymerizable compound comprises a hydrolyzable cationically polymerizable compound having a cationically polymerizable group and an ether bond or an ester bond, and when the ether bond or the ester bond is cleaved by hydrolysis, all of the decomposition products have a cationically polymerizable group, and 300mg of the sealing agent for an organic electroluminescent display element is measured and sealed in a tubular formHeating at 100 deg.C for 30 min in a bottle to cure or irradiating with ultraviolet ray 1500mJ/cm2Then, the mixture was heated at 80 ℃ for 30 minutes to cure the mixture, and further heated at 85 ℃ for 100 hours, whereby the amount of outgas generated was 100ppm or less.
The present invention will be described in detail below.
The inventor considers that: the reason why the degassing occurs in the conventional sealing agent is that an ether bond or an ester bond of the cationically polymerizable compound contained in the sealing agent is hydrolyzed by an acid derived from a polymerization initiator or the like. Therefore, the present inventors have studied the case of using a polymerizable compound having no ether bond or ester bond as a cationically polymerizable compound, but the obtained sealant can suppress the occurrence of outgassing, but has a large cure shrinkage, and in particular, cannot sufficiently obtain adhesiveness to a flexible substrate or the like. Therefore, the inventors further conducted intensive studies and found that: the present inventors have completed the present invention by finding that a sealant for an organic EL display element, which has excellent adhesion to a flexible substrate or the like and can suppress display defects due to deterioration of the element, can be obtained by using a hydrolyzable cationically polymerizable compound having a cationically polymerizable group and an ether bond or an ester bond and having a cationically polymerizable group in all decomposed products even when the ether bond or the ester bond is cleaved by hydrolysis, and by adjusting the amount of outgas generated during and after curing to a specific value or less.
The sealing agent for organic EL display element of the present invention was measured at 300mg and sealed in a vial, and cured by heating at 100 ℃ for 30 minutes or irradiating with ultraviolet light at 1500mJ/cm2Then, the mixture was heated at 80 ℃ for 30 minutes to cure the mixture, and further heated at 85 ℃ for 100 hours, at which time the upper limit of the amount of outgas generated was 100 ppm. By setting the amount of outgas generation to 100ppm or less, the sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention can sufficiently suppress display defects caused by deterioration of the element. The upper limit of the amount of degassing generation is preferably 50ppm, and more preferably 30 ppm.
The lower limit is not particularly limited as the amount of degassing generated is preferably smaller, but is substantially 5ppm or more.
The amount of the outgas generated can be measured by a gas chromatography mass spectrometer (e.g., JMS-Q1050 (manufactured by Nippon electronic Co., Ltd.)).
The sealant for an organic EL display element of the present invention contains a cationically polymerizable compound.
The cationically polymerizable compound contains a hydrolyzable cationically polymerizable compound (hereinafter also referred to as "hydrolyzable cationically polymerizable compound of the present invention") having a cationically polymerizable group and an ether bond or an ester bond, and when the ether bond or the ester bond is cleaved by hydrolysis, all of the decomposition products have a cationically polymerizable group. The hydrolyzable cationically polymerizable compound of the present invention has an ether bond or an ester bond, so that curing shrinkage does not become excessively large, and the obtained sealant for an organic EL display element has excellent adhesion to a flexible substrate or the like, and when the ether bond or the ester bond is cleaved by hydrolysis, all decomposed products have a cationically polymerizable group, and thus the decomposed products can be prevented from causing outgassing.
The amount of the degassing generated can be brought to the above range by using the hydrolyzable cation polymerizable compound of the present invention as the cation polymerizable compound and not using other components which cause degassing or making the content small even in the case of using the compound.
Examples of the cationically polymerizable group include an epoxy group, an oxetane group, and a vinyl ether group. Among them, epoxy groups are preferable.
Specific examples of the hydrolyzable cation polymerizable compound of the present invention include 3 ', 4' -epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3, 4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (a compound represented by the following formula (1)), 3-ethyl-3 (((3-ethyloxetan-3-yl) methoxy) methyl) oxetane (a compound represented by the following formula (2)), 4, 5-epoxycyclohexane-1, 2-dicarboxylic acid diglycidyl ester (a compound represented by the following formula (3)), and the like. Among them, from the viewpoint of further improving the adhesiveness of the obtained sealant for an organic EL display element to a flexible substrate or the like, an alicyclic epoxy compound having an ether bond or an ester bond is preferable, a compound represented by the following formula (1) or the following formula (2) is more preferable, and a compound represented by the following formula (1) is further preferable.

The obtained sealing agent for organic EL display element was measured at 300mg and sealed in a vial, and heated at 100 ℃ for 30 minutes to cure. The vial was further heated in a constant-temperature oven at 85 ℃ for 100 hours, and the amount of the vaporized components in the vial was measured by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (JMS-Q1050, manufactured by Nippon electronic Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 1.
