Description

液晶滴下工法用シール剤、液晶パネル用封口剤、上下導通材料及び液晶表示素子Sealant for liquid crystal dropping method, sealer for liquid crystal panel, vertical conduction material and liquid crystal display device
本発明は、滴下工法により液晶表示素子を製造した場合であっても、色ムラが少ない高品位な画像の液晶表示素子を製造することができる液晶滴下工法用シール剤に関する。また、真空注入方式により液晶表示装置の製造する場合に、色ムラが少ない高品位な画像の液晶表示素子を製造することができる液晶パネル用封口剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a sealing agent for liquid crystal dropping method capable of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element of high quality image with little color unevenness even when the liquid crystal display element is manufactured by the dropping method. In addition, the present invention relates to a sealing agent for a liquid crystal panel capable of manufacturing a liquid crystal display element of a high quality image with little color unevenness when manufacturing a liquid crystal display device by a vacuum injection method.
従来、液晶表示セル等の液晶表示素子は、2枚の電極付き透明基板を、所定の間隔をおいて対向させ、その周囲をシール剤で封着してセルを形成し、その一部に設けられた液晶注入口からセル内に液晶を注入し、その液晶注入口をシール剤又は封口剤を用いて封止するという真空注入方式と呼ばれる工法により作製されていた。 Conventionally, in a liquid crystal display element such as a liquid crystal display cell, two transparent substrates with electrodes are made to face each other at a predetermined distance, and the periphery is sealed with a sealing agent to form a cell, which is provided in part thereof The liquid crystal is injected into the cell from the liquid crystal injection port, and the liquid crystal injection port is sealed by using a sealing agent or a sealing agent by a method called a vacuum injection method.
真空注入方式では、まず、2枚の電極付き透明基板のいずれか一方に、スクリーン印刷により熱硬化性シール剤を用いた液晶注入口を設けたシールパターンを形成し、60~100℃でプリベイクを行いシール剤中の溶剤を乾燥させる。次いで、スペーサーを挟んで2枚の基板を対向させてアライメントを行い貼り合わせ、110~220℃で10~90分間熱プレスを行いシール近傍のギャップを調整した後、オーブン中で110~220℃で10~120分間加熱しシール剤を本硬化させる。次いで、液晶注入口から液晶を注入し、最後に封口剤を用いて液晶注入口を封止して、液晶表示素子を作製していた。 In the vacuum injection method, first, a seal pattern provided with a liquid crystal injection port using a thermosetting sealing agent is formed by screen printing on one of two transparent substrates with electrodes, and prebaking is performed at 60 to 100 ° C. Do dry the solvent in the sealant. Then, the two substrates are opposed to each other with the spacer interposed therebetween for alignment and bonding, and after heat pressing at 110 to 220 ° C. for 10 to 90 minutes to adjust the gap in the vicinity of the seal, it is heated at 110 to 220 ° C. in an oven. Heat for 10 to 120 minutes to fully cure the sealant. Then, liquid crystal was injected from the liquid crystal injection port, and finally, the liquid crystal injection port was sealed using a sealing agent to produce a liquid crystal display element.
しかし近年では、液晶表示セル等の液晶表示装置の製造方法は、タクトタイム短縮、使用液晶量の最適化といった観点から、上記真空注入方式から、例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2に開示されているような光硬化性のアクリル樹脂と光重合開始剤、及び、熱硬化性のエポキシ樹脂と熱重合開始剤を含有する、光、熱併用硬化型の樹脂組成物からなるシール剤を用いた滴下工法と呼ばれる液晶滴下方式にかわりつつある。 However, in recent years, methods of manufacturing liquid crystal display devices such as liquid crystal display cells are disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 from the above-described vacuum injection method from the viewpoint of shortening tact time and optimizing the amount of liquid crystal used. Drop using a sealing agent comprising a photocurable and heat-curable resin composition containing a photocurable acrylic resin and a photopolymerization initiator, and a thermosetting epoxy resin and a thermal polymerization initiator It is replacing the liquid crystal dropping method called the method.
液晶滴下方式では、まず、2枚の電極付き基板の一方に、シールパターンを形成する。次いで、シール剤未硬化の状態で液晶の微小滴を基板の枠内全面に滴下し、真空下で他方の基板を重ね合わせ、常圧に戻した後シール部に紫外線を照射してアクリル樹脂の硬化を行う(仮硬化工程)。その後、加熱してエポキシ樹脂の硬化を行い、液晶表示素子を作製する。 In the liquid crystal dropping method, first, a seal pattern is formed on one of the two electrode-attached substrates. Then, with the sealant uncured, small droplets of liquid crystal are dropped over the entire surface of the frame of the substrate, the other substrate is superposed under vacuum, and after returning to normal pressure, ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the seal portion to make acrylic resin Cure (provisional curing step). Thereafter, the epoxy resin is cured by heating to manufacture a liquid crystal display element.
ところで、携帯電話、携帯ゲーム機等、各種液晶パネル付きモバイル機器が普及している現代において、装置の小型化は最も求められている課題である。小型化の手法として、液晶表示部の狭額縁化が挙げられ、例えば、シール部の位置をブラックマトリックス下に配置することが行われている(以下、狭額縁設計ともいう)。 By the way, in the modern world where various liquid crystal panel-equipped mobile devices such as mobile phones and portable game machines are in widespread use, downsizing of the device is the most demanded issue. As a method of downsizing, narrowing the frame of the liquid crystal display unit is mentioned, and for example, the position of the sealing unit is disposed under the black matrix (hereinafter, also referred to as narrow frame design).
しかしながら、滴下工法を狭額縁設計で行うと、ブラックマトリックスによりシール部に光の当たらない箇所が存在するため、充分に光照射されず硬化が進行しないアクリル樹脂の部分が生じ、仮硬化工程後に未硬化のアクリル樹脂が溶出してしまい、液晶が汚染され、液晶表示ムラが起こるという問題があった。
また、確実にブラックマトリックス下のシール部にも光を照射するために、基板の裏面、すなわちアレイ側から光を照射する方法も考えられるが、アレイ基板上にも金属配線、トランジスタ等が存在し、シール部に光の当たらない箇所が存在する。
However, when the dropping method is performed with a narrow frame design, there is a portion where light does not strike the seal portion due to the black matrix, so there is a portion of acrylic resin that is not sufficiently irradiated with light and curing does not proceed. There is a problem that the cured acrylic resin is eluted, the liquid crystal is contaminated, and the liquid crystal display unevenness occurs.
Although it is conceivable to irradiate light from the back side of the substrate, that is, the array side, in order to surely irradiate light to the seal portion under the black matrix, metal wiring, transistors, etc. are present also on the array substrate. , There is a place where the light does not hit the seal part.
このような問題に対し、光照射後にも未硬化のアクリル樹脂を確実に硬化させるために、アクリル樹脂を熱硬化させる成分として低分子量の過酸化物やアゾ化合物を配合したシール剤を用いる方法も考えられる。このようなシール剤を用いると、仮硬化工程で硬化されなかったアクリル樹脂を液晶アニール時の加熱により硬化させることができる。しかしながら、低分子量の過酸化物やアゾ化合物の液晶への溶出によりシール部の周りに色ムラが発生し、高品位な画像の液晶表示素子を得ることができないという問題があった。 To solve such problems, a method using a sealing agent containing a low molecular weight peroxide or an azo compound as a component for thermally curing an acrylic resin is also used in order to cure the uncured acrylic resin reliably even after light irradiation. Conceivable. When such a sealing agent is used, the acrylic resin which has not been cured in the temporary curing step can be cured by heating at the time of liquid crystal annealing. However, due to the elution of low molecular weight peroxides and azo compounds into the liquid crystal, color unevenness occurs around the seal portion, and there is a problem that a liquid crystal display element of high quality image can not be obtained.
一方、従来工法である真空注入方式により液晶表示装置の製造する場合にも、上記液晶滴下方式の場合と同様の課題がある。即ち、真空注入方式により液晶表示装置の製造する際、液晶封止に用いる液晶パネル用封口剤は未硬化の状態で液晶と接触する。ここで液晶パネル用封口剤に充分な光が照射されない場合には、やはり封口部の周りに色ムラが発生し、高品位な画像の液晶表示素子を得ることができない。 On the other hand, in the case of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device by a vacuum injection method which is a conventional method, there are the same problems as in the case of the liquid crystal dropping method. That is, when manufacturing a liquid crystal display device by a vacuum injection method, the sealing agent for liquid crystal panels used for liquid crystal sealing contacts with a liquid crystal in the unhardened state. Here, when sufficient light is not irradiated to the sealing agent for liquid crystal panels, a color nonuniformity also generate | occur | produces around a sealing part again, and the liquid crystal display element of a high quality image can not be obtained.
