Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal sealing agent for a dropping method, which contains (a) a photosensitizer having a (meth)acrylic group in each molecule and (b) a curable resin having a (meth)acrylic group. Preferably, the liquid crystal sealing agent additionally contains (d) a photopolymerization initiator and/or (c) a tertiary amine.

Description

液晶シール剤及びそれを用いた液晶表示セルLiquid crystal sealant and liquid crystal display cell using the same
 本発明は、液晶パネルにおいて、配線等の影となり、直接紫外線が照射されない遮光部においても良好な硬化性を有し、また可視光等の低エネルギー光でも良好な硬化性を有し、かつ極めて液晶汚染性が低い液晶滴下工法用シール剤に関する。 In the liquid crystal panel, the present invention has good curability even in a light-shielding portion that is a shadow of wiring and is not directly irradiated with ultraviolet rays in a liquid crystal panel, has good curability even with low energy light such as visible light, and extremely The present invention relates to a sealing agent for liquid crystal dropping method with low liquid crystal contamination.
 近年の液晶表示セルの大型化に伴い、液晶表示セルの製造法として、より量産性の高い、いわゆる液晶滴下工法が提案されていた(特許文献1、特許文献2参照)。具体的には、該方法は、一方の基板に形成された液晶シール剤の堰の内側に液晶を滴下した後、もう一方の基板を貼り合わせることにより、液晶が封止された液晶表示セルを製造する方法である。 With the recent increase in the size of liquid crystal display cells, a so-called liquid crystal dropping method with higher mass productivity has been proposed as a method for manufacturing liquid crystal display cells (see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). Specifically, in this method, a liquid crystal display cell in which a liquid crystal is sealed is obtained by dropping a liquid crystal inside a weir of a liquid crystal sealing agent formed on one substrate and then bonding the other substrate. It is a manufacturing method.
 しかし、液晶滴下工法は、液晶シール剤が、まず未硬化の状態で液晶に接触するため、その際に液晶シール剤の成分が液晶に溶解して液晶の比抵抗を低下させ、シール近傍の表示不良が発生する問題点がある。 However, in the liquid crystal dropping method, the liquid crystal sealant first contacts the liquid crystal in an uncured state, and at that time, the components of the liquid crystal sealant dissolve in the liquid crystal, lowering the specific resistance of the liquid crystal, and displaying near the seal There is a problem that defects occur.
 液晶滴下工法において、基板を貼り合わせた後の液晶シール剤の硬化方法として、熱硬化法、光硬化法、光熱硬化併用法の3つの方法が考えられている。熱硬化法では、加熱による液晶の膨張により低粘度化した硬化途中の液晶シール剤から液晶が漏れてしまうという問題と低粘度化した液晶シール剤の成分が液晶に溶解してしまうという問題があり、これらの問題は解決が困難であり、いまだ実用化されていない。 In the liquid crystal dropping method, three methods of a thermosetting method, a photocuring method, and a photothermal curing combined method are considered as methods for curing the liquid crystal sealant after the substrates are bonded together. In the thermosetting method, there is a problem that the liquid crystal leaks from the liquid crystal sealant in the middle of curing, which has been reduced in viscosity due to expansion of the liquid crystal due to heating, and a problem that the components of the liquid crystal sealant whose viscosity has been reduced dissolves in the liquid crystal. These problems are difficult to solve and have not yet been put into practical use.
 一方、光硬化法に用いられる液晶シール剤としては、光重合開始剤の種類によりカチオン重合型とラジカル重合型の2種類が挙げられる。カチオン重合型の液晶シール剤(特許文献3参照)については、光硬化の際にイオンが発生するため、これを液晶滴下工法に使用した場合、接触状態の液晶中にイオン成分が溶出し、液晶の比抵抗を低下させるという問題がある。又、ラジカル重合型の液晶シール剤(特許文献4参照)については光硬化時の硬化収縮が大きいために、接着強度が十分でないという問題がある。更に、カチオン重合型とラジカル重合型の両方の光硬化法に関わる問題点として、液晶表示セルのアレイ基板のメタル配線部分やカラーフィルター基板のブラックマトリックス部分により液晶シール剤に光が当たらない遮光部が生じるため、遮光部が未硬化になるという問題が生じる。 On the other hand, as the liquid crystal sealant used in the photocuring method, there are two types of cationic polymerization type and radical polymerization type depending on the type of photopolymerization initiator. With regard to the cationic polymerization type liquid crystal sealing agent (see Patent Document 3), ions are generated during photocuring, so when this is used in a liquid crystal dropping method, the ionic component is eluted in the liquid crystal in the contact state, and the liquid crystal There is a problem of lowering the specific resistance. Further, the radical polymerization type liquid crystal sealant (see Patent Document 4) has a problem that the adhesive strength is not sufficient because of the large shrinkage during photocuring. Furthermore, as a problem related to both cationic polymerization type and radical polymerization type photocuring methods, the light shielding part where the liquid crystal sealant is not exposed to light by the metal wiring part of the array substrate of the liquid crystal display cell and the black matrix part of the color filter substrate. Therefore, there arises a problem that the light shielding portion is uncured.
 このように熱硬化法、光硬化法は様々な問題点を抱えており、現実には特許文献5に示されている様な光熱硬化併用法が最も実用的な工法と考えられている。光熱硬化併用法は、基板に挟まれた液晶シール剤に光を照射して一次硬化させた後、加熱して二次硬化させることを特徴とする。通常こういったシール剤には光反応性樹脂、光開始剤、熱硬化性樹脂、熱硬化剤を含有する事が一般的である。光反応性樹脂と熱硬化剤の選択の仕方によっては、光反応性樹脂を熱硬化剤で硬化させる事も可能である。例えば、特許文献6に記載の様に、光反応性樹脂にエポキシアクリレートを用い、熱硬化剤に有機酸ヒドラジドを用いると、マイケル付加反応による光反応性樹脂を熱硬化させることが可能である。この方法を用いることにより、光硬化時に未硬化となってしまう遮光部の光反応性樹脂を熱硬化時に、硬化させる事ができる。しかしながら、一般的に液晶表示セル内には遮光部と露光部が併存する為、熱硬化剤の添加量が問題となる。つまり、露光部に合わせ、熱硬化性樹脂を硬化させるだけの量の熱硬化剤を添加すると、遮光部では熱硬化剤が不足し、硬化不十分となる。また遮光部に合わせ過剰の熱硬化剤を添加すると露光部において熱硬化剤が過剰となり、未反応で残存し、硬化物の特性を落とすという結果となってしまう。従って遮光部の未硬化の光反応性樹脂を熱硬化時に一緒に硬化する方法はあまり良い方法とはいえない。 Thus, the thermosetting method and the photocuring method have various problems, and the photothermal curing combined method as shown in Patent Document 5 is considered to be the most practical construction method. The photothermal curing combined method is characterized in that the liquid crystal sealant sandwiched between the substrates is irradiated with light to be primarily cured and then heated to be secondarily cured. Usually, such a sealant contains a photoreactive resin, a photoinitiator, a thermosetting resin, and a thermosetting agent. Depending on how the photoreactive resin and the thermosetting agent are selected, the photoreactive resin can be cured with the thermosetting agent. For example, as described in Patent Document 6, when an epoxy acrylate is used as a photoreactive resin and an organic acid hydrazide is used as a thermosetting agent, the photoreactive resin by Michael addition reaction can be thermoset. By using this method, the photoreactive resin of the light-shielding part that becomes uncured during photocuring can be cured during thermosetting. However, since the light shielding part and the exposure part are generally present in the liquid crystal display cell, the amount of the thermosetting agent added becomes a problem. That is, when an amount of a thermosetting agent sufficient to cure the thermosetting resin is added in accordance with the exposed portion, the light-shielding portion lacks the thermosetting agent and is insufficiently cured. If an excessive thermosetting agent is added to the light-shielding portion, the thermosetting agent becomes excessive in the exposed portion, and remains unreacted, resulting in deterioration of the properties of the cured product. Therefore, it cannot be said that the method of curing the uncured photoreactive resin in the light-shielding portion together at the time of heat curing is not so good.
また最近では、液晶滴下工法において、紫外線に代えて波長が400nm以上の可視光を使用しようとする動きがある。可視光は紫外線と比較し、低エネルギーである為、液晶滴下工法用液晶シール剤においても、低エネルギーで硬化することが要求される。これは遮光部における硬化性の向上と類似した課題である。 Recently, in the liquid crystal dropping method, there is a movement to use visible light having a wavelength of 400 nm or more instead of ultraviolet rays. Since visible light has lower energy than ultraviolet light, it is required that the liquid crystal sealant for the liquid crystal dropping method be cured with low energy. This is a problem similar to the improvement in curability in the light shielding portion.
 以上述べてきたように、液晶滴下工法用の液晶シール剤での開発は非常に精力的に行われているにも拘わらず、優れた遮光部硬化性を有するものは未だ完成していない。 As described above, although development of a liquid crystal sealant for a liquid crystal dropping method has been carried out very vigorously, a product having excellent light-shielding part curability has not yet been completed.

The liquid crystal sealant of the present invention has little liquid crystal contamination and has good curability even with low energy light such as visible light. Therefore, it has sufficient curability even under the wiring where direct light is difficult to reach, and the light-shielding portion that is not directly irradiated with ultraviolet rays can be cured with a wide width, and even when it is shaded by the wiring, it can be cured uniformly. For this reason, it is possible to secure the degree of freedom of the wiring design of the panel and the degree of freedom of the process of irradiation with visible light, and the manufacture of a highly reliable liquid crystal display panel can be facilitated.
