Description

Sealing agent for liquid crystal display element, vertical conduction material, and liquid crystal display element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sealant for a liquid crystal display element, which has excellent coating properties and curability with respect to light having a long wavelength, and which can suppress display defects when the liquid crystal display element is lit up for a long period of time. The present invention also relates to a vertical conduction material and a liquid crystal display element, which are produced using the sealant for a liquid crystal display element.
Background
In recent years, as a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element such as a liquid crystal display unit, a liquid crystal dropping method called a dropping method using a photo-thermal curable sealing agent as disclosed in patent documents 1 and 2 has been used from the viewpoint of shortening the tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used.
In the one drop fill process, first, a frame-shaped seal pattern is formed on one of two transparent substrates with electrodes by dispensing. Next, in a state where the sealant is not cured, droplets of liquid crystal are dropped onto the entire surface of the frame of the transparent substrate, another transparent substrate is immediately bonded, and the sealing portion is irradiated with light such as ultraviolet light to perform precuring. Thereafter, the liquid crystal is heated during annealing to perform main curing, thereby producing a liquid crystal display element. When the substrates are bonded under reduced pressure, the liquid crystal display element can be manufactured with extremely high efficiency, and this one drop fill process is currently the mainstream of a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display element.
However, in the modern day in which various mobile devices with liquid crystal panels such as mobile phones and portable game machines are increasingly widespread, miniaturization of the devices is the most demanding issue. As a method for downsizing the device, narrowing of the frame of the liquid crystal display portion, for example, an operation of disposing the position of the sealing portion under the black matrix (hereinafter, also referred to as narrow frame design) is performed.
However, in the narrow-frame design, since the sealant is disposed directly below the black matrix, if the dropping process is performed, light irradiated when the sealant is photo-cured is blocked, and there is a problem that curing becomes insufficient without reaching the inside of the sealant. As described above, if the curing of the sealant becomes insufficient, an uncured sealant component is eluted into the liquid crystal, and a curing reaction due to the eluted sealant component progresses in the liquid crystal, thereby causing a problem of liquid crystal contamination.
In addition, generally, irradiation of ultraviolet rays is performed as a method of photocuring a sealant, but in a liquid crystal dropping process, since the sealant is cured after dropping a liquid crystal, there is a problem that the liquid crystal is deteriorated by irradiation of ultraviolet rays. In order to prevent deterioration of liquid crystal due to ultraviolet light, it is conceivable to blend a photopolymerization initiator having excellent reactivity with light having a long wavelength and to perform photocuring by using light having a long wavelength via a cut filter or the like. However, when only a photopolymerization initiator having excellent reactivity with light having a long wavelength is blended, it is not possible to sufficiently perform photocuring of a sealant using light having a long wavelength. Further, when a liquid crystal display element is lit for a long period of time after being manufactured, a sealant component which is slightly eluted into the liquid crystal before curing reacts to cause a display defect such as display unevenness.

The inventors of the present invention found that: the present inventors have found that a (meth) acrylic compound having a molecular weight within a specific range and a photopolymerization initiator having a specific structure are used in combination to obtain a sealant for a liquid crystal display element which is excellent in coatability and curability against long-wavelength light and can suppress display defects when the liquid crystal display element is lit for a long period of time, and have completed the present invention.
The sealant for a liquid crystal display element of the present invention contains a curable resin.
The curable resin contains a (meth) acrylic compound having a molecular weight of 700 to 2000. By using the (meth) acrylic compound having a molecular weight of 700 to 2000 in combination with a compound having a structure represented by the formula (1) described below, the obtained sealant for a liquid crystal display element is excellent in coatability and curability against long-wavelength light, and can suppress display defects when the liquid crystal display element is lit for a long period of time.

In the present specification, the "molecular weight" is a molecular weight determined from a structural formula for a compound having a definite molecular structure, and may be expressed by a weight average molecular weight for a compound having a wide distribution of polymerization degrees and a compound having an indefinite modification site. In the present specification, the "weight average molecular weight" is a value measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and determined in terms of polystyrene. Examples of the column used for measuring the weight-average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene by GPC include Shodex LF-804 (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.).
In the present specification, the "(meth) acrylic" refers to an acrylic or a methacrylic, the "(meth) acrylic compound" refers to a compound having a (meth) acryloyl group, and the "(meth) acryloyl group" refers to an acryloyl group or a methacryloyl group.
From the viewpoint of low liquid crystal contamination, the (meth) acrylic compound having a molecular weight of 700 or more and 2000 or less is preferably a phenol type (meth) acrylic compound, and more preferably a phenol type epoxy (meth) acrylate, in order to increase the viscosity gently and hardly deteriorate the coatability even when the molecular weight is increased to a high level.
In the present specification, the "(meth) acrylate" refers to an acrylate or a methacrylate. The "epoxy (meth) acrylate" refers to an epoxy (meth) acrylate in which all epoxy groups of an epoxy compound are reacted with (meth) acrylic acid to introduce a (meth) acryloyl group. That is, the "novolac epoxy (meth) acrylate" refers to a novolac epoxy (meth) acrylate in which all epoxy groups of a novolac epoxy compound are reacted with (meth) acrylic acid to introduce a (meth) acryloyl group.
Examples of the novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate include phenol novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate, o-cresol novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate, dicyclopentadiene novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate, biphenol novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate, and naphthol novolac-type epoxy (meth) acrylate. Among them, phenol novolac type epoxy (meth) acrylate is preferable.
The above-mentioned novolak type epoxy (meth) acrylate can be obtained by reacting all epoxy groups of a novolak type epoxy compound with (meth) acrylic acid in the presence of an alkaline catalyst according to a conventional method.

The partial (meth) acrylic-modified novolak type epoxy compound can be obtained in a mixture of a partial (meth) acrylic-modified novolak type epoxy compound, a novolak type epoxy compound and a novolak type epoxy (meth) acrylate by reacting a part of epoxy groups of the novolak type epoxy compound with (meth) acrylic acid. Examples of the method for reacting a part of the epoxy groups of the above-mentioned phenolic epoxy compound with (meth) acrylic acid include a method of reacting the epoxy groups in the presence of a basic catalyst according to a conventional method.
