Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a composition for forming a release layer and a release layer. [Previous Technology]

[0002] In recent years, in addition to the characteristics of thinness and lightness, electronic devices also require the ability to be flexible. Therefore, in order to replace the bulky, fragile and inflexible glass substrates of the past, it is necessary to use lightweight flexible plastic substrates.

[0003] In particular, the development of active-matrix full-color TFT display panels using lightweight flexible plastic substrates (hereinafter also referred to as resin substrates) is required in next-generation displays. Furthermore, touch panel displays are developing materials that can accommodate flexibility, such as transparent electrodes or resin substrates used in conjunction with touch panels in display panels. As transparent electrodes, in addition to the previously used ITO, proposals have been made for flexible transparent conductive polymers such as PEDOT, metal nanowires, and their hybrid systems, as well as other transparent electrode materials (Patent Documents 1-4).

[0004] On the other hand, the substrate of the touch panel film has also changed from glass to a sheet made of plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide, cycloolefins, and acrylic, and a flexible transparent touch screen panel is being developed (Patent Documents 5-7).

[0005] Generally, flexible touchscreen panels are manufactured by forming a release (adhesive) layer on a support substrate such as a glass substrate, and then peeling it off after fabricating a device thereon (Patent Document 8), in order to ensure stable production and peeling. This release layer cannot be peeled off from the support substrate during the process, and a low peeling force is necessary during peeling. Furthermore, to improve productivity, it is necessary to store the release layer in film form for a long period after it has been formed. Therefore, the release layer must have stability after film formation. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

Furthermore, the term "solid component" refers to substances other than the solvent in the total composition of the composition for forming the release layer, and the amount of solid component is the total amount of such substances. Furthermore, (E) a single solvent may be used, or two or more solvents may be used in combination.

[0094] [Other Additives] The release layer forming composition of the present invention may also include a surfactant as needed. By adding a surfactant, the coatability of the aforementioned release layer forming composition to the substrate can be improved. As a surfactant, known surfactants such as nonionic surfactants, fluorinated surfactants, and polysiloxane surfactants can be used.

[0095] Specific examples of nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene stearate ether, polyoxyethylene hexadecyl ether, and polyoxyethylene oleyl ether; polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ethers such as polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether and polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether; polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymers; sorbitan fatty acid esters such as sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitan monopalmitate, sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan trioleate, and sorbitan tristearate; and polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan tristearate.

[0096] Specific examples of fluorinated surfactants include EFtop (registered trademark) EF301, EF303, EF352 (manufactured by Mitsubishi Materials Electronics Chemicals, Inc.), Megafac (registered trademark) F171, F173, F554, F559, F563, R-30, R-40, R-40-LM, DS-21 (manufactured by DIC Corporation), FLUORAD (registered trademark) FC430, FC431 (manufactured by 3M Corporation), AsahiGuard (registered trademark) AG710, Surflon (registered trademark) S-382, SC101, SC102, SC103, SC104, SC105, SC106 (manufactured by AGC Corporation).

[0097] In the case where the composition for forming the release layer of the present invention includes a surfactant, the content of the surfactant is preferably 0.0001 to 1 part by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of component (A), and more preferably 0.001 to 0.5 parts by weight. In addition, a single surfactant may be used alone, or two or more surfactants may be used in combination.

[0098] [Preparation of the composition for release layer formation] The method for preparing the composition for release layer formation of the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, it can be a method of mixing components (B), (C), (D), and (E) in a specific ratio to form a homogeneous solution in a solution of component (A) dissolved in a solvent. Furthermore, the solvent in which component (A) is dissolved can be the same solvent as component (E) or a different solvent. Also, in the case of using other additives, these can be added and mixed at any stage of composition preparation.

[0099] In the preparation of the composition for forming the release layer of the present invention, a solution of the polymer obtained in the polymerization reaction in a solvent can also be used directly. For example, component (B), and further components (C), (D), and (E) can be added to the solution after the polymerization reaction of component (A) to form a homogeneous solution. At this time, a solvent can be further added to adjust the concentration to the desired effect. This solvent can be the same as or different from the solvent used in the manufacture of component (A).

[0100] Furthermore, the solution of the composition for forming the release layer is preferably filtered after being filtered using a filter with a pore size of about 0.2 μm.

[0101] The viscosity of the composition for forming the release layer of the present invention is appropriately set by considering the desired thickness of the release layer. However, especially when the aim is to obtain a film with a thickness of about 0.01 to 5 μm with good reproducibility, a viscosity of about 1 to 5,000 mPa·s at 25°C is preferred, and about 1 to 2,000 mPa·s is even more preferred. The viscosity in the present invention is measured using a commercially available viscometer for measuring the viscosity of liquids. For example, the measurement can be performed at a temperature of 25°C of the composition, following the sequence described in JIS K7117-2. As a viscometer, a conical plate type (cone plate type) rotational viscometer is preferred. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a viscometer of the same type with a 1°34'×R24 standard conical rotor, and the measurement is performed at a temperature of 25°C of the composition. For example, the TVE-25L manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd. can be cited as such a rotational viscometer.

[0102] [Release Layer] By a sintering method comprising the steps of applying the release layer forming composition of the present invention onto a substrate and then sintering at 180~250°C, a release layer having excellent adhesion to the substrate and moderate adhesion and release properties to the resin substrate can be obtained. In this case, since the heating time during sintering varies depending on the heating temperature, it cannot be uniformly specified, but it is usually 1 minute to 5 hours. Furthermore, if the highest temperature during sintering is within the aforementioned range, a step of sintering at a temperature below that temperature may also be included.

[0103] As a preferred example of the heating state in this invention, an example of heating at 50-150°C for 1 minute to 1 hour, followed by directly raising the heating temperature to 180-250°C for 5 minutes to 4 hours, can be given. More particularly, as a more preferred example of the heating state, an example of heating at 50-150°C for 1 minute to 1 hour, followed by heating at 200-250°C for 5 minutes to 2 hours, can be given. Furthermore, as another more preferred example of the heating state, an example of heating at 50-150°C for 1 to 30 minutes, followed by heating at 200-250°C for 5 minutes to 1 hour, can be given.

[0104] Furthermore, in the case where the release layer of the present invention is formed on a substrate, the release layer may be formed on a portion of the surface of the substrate or it may be formed all over the substrate. As for the form of forming the release layer on a portion of the surface of the substrate, there are forms where the release layer is formed only in a specific area of ​​the substrate surface, and forms the release layer all over the substrate surface in the form of a pattern such as a dot pattern, a line pattern, and a gap pattern. Furthermore, in the present invention, the term "substrate" refers to a material on which the release layer forming composition of the present invention is coated, and is used in the manufacture of flexible electronic devices, etc.

[0105] Examples of substrates include glass, metal (silicon wafers, etc.), and stone slabs. However, glass is preferred because the release layer obtained by the release layer forming composition of the present invention has sufficient adhesion to it. Furthermore, the substrate surface can be made of a single material or of two or more materials. As for the state in which the substrate surface is made of two or more materials, there are states in which certain areas of the substrate surface are made of certain materials and the rest of the surface is made of other materials, and there are states in which the materials present in the pattern of dots, lines and gaps, etc., of the entire substrate surface are also present in other materials.

[0106] The coating method for the composition used to form the release layer is not particularly limited. For example, casting coating, spin coating, doctor blade coating, dip coating, roller coating, bar coating, mold coating, inkjet coating, and printing methods (letterpress, gravure, offset, screen printing, etc.) can be cited.

[0107] As a heating appliance, examples include hot plates and ovens. The heating environment can be in air or inert gas, and can be at normal pressure or under reduced pressure.

[0108] The thickness of the release layer is usually around 0.01~50μm, but from a production point of view, it is better to be around 0.01~20μm, and even better to be around 0.01~5μm. The desired thickness is achieved by adjusting the thickness of the coating before heating.

[0109] The release layer of the present invention has excellent adhesion to the substrate, especially to a glass substrate, and moderate adhesion and moderate peelability to the resin substrate. Therefore, the release layer of the present invention will not cause damage to the resin substrate of the flexible electronic device during the manufacturing process, and can be used appropriately when the resin substrate and the circuits formed on the resin substrate are simultaneously peeled off from the substrate.

[0110] [Manufacturing Method of Resin Substrate] An example of a manufacturing method for a flexible electronic device using the release layer of the present invention will be described. First, a release layer is formed on a glass substrate using the release layer forming composition of the present invention and the aforementioned method. A resin substrate forming solution for forming a resin substrate is coated on this release layer, and a resin substrate fixed to the glass substrate is formed by sintering the obtained coating film, thereby separating the release layer of the present invention.

[0111] Although the sintering temperature of the coating is appropriately set according to the type of resin, etc., in this invention, it is preferable to set the maximum sintering temperature to 200~250°C, more preferably 210~250°C, and even more preferably 220~240°C. By setting the maximum sintering temperature during the fabrication of the resin substrate within this range, the adhesion between the release layer and the substrate, or the appropriate adhesion and release properties between the release layer and the resin substrate, can be further improved. In this case, as long as the maximum temperature is within the aforementioned range, a step of sintering at a temperature lower than that temperature may also be included.

[0112] Preferably, the resin substrate is formed with an area larger than that of the release layer, covering the entire release layer. Examples of resin substrates include those made of acrylic polymers or cyclic olefin polymers, with a transmittance of 80% or more at a wavelength of 400 nm being preferred. Furthermore, the resin substrate can be formed using conventional methods.

[0113] Next, on the resin substrate fixed to the substrate by the release layer of the present invention, the desired circuit is formed as needed. Then, for example, the resin substrate is cut along the release layer, and the resin substrate is peeled off from the release layer simultaneously with the circuit, separating the resin substrate from the substrate. At this time, a portion of the substrate can also be cut simultaneously with the release layer. If the release layer of the present invention is used, the resin substrate can be peeled off from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.25 N / 25 mm or less. In particular, when (D) the polymer additive is polymer additive D2 or polymer additive D3, the resin substrate can be peeled off from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.15 N / 25 mm or less. Also, when (D) the polymer additive is polymer additive D1, the resin substrate can be peeled off from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.1 N / 25 mm or less. [Example]

The peelability was confirmed by the following method. In addition, the following tests were performed on the same glass substrate.

[0141] (1) Evaluation of the peelability of the release layer to the glass substrate The release layers on the glass substrates with release layers obtained in Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2 were cross-cut (with 2mm intervals in length and width, the same below) to cut out 25 pieces. That is, 25 square grids of 2mm were formed by this cross-cut. Adhesive tape was applied to these 25 cut portions, the tape was peeled off, and the degree of peeling was evaluated based on the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1. <Judgment Criteria> 5B: 0% peeling (no peeling) 4B: Less than 5% peeling 3B: 5% or more, less than 15% peeling 2B: 15% or more, less than 35% peeling 1B: 35% or more, less than 65% peeling 0B: 65% or more, less than 80% peeling B: 80% or more, less than 95% peeling A: 95% or more, less than 100% peeling AA: 100% peeling (complete peeling)

[0142] (2) Evaluation of the peel force between the release layer and the resin substrate: A strip of 25mm × 50mm was fabricated from the glass substrates with resin substrates and release layers obtained in Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2. Cellotape (registered trademark) (NICHIBAN CT-24) was then applied, and peeling was performed using an automatic stereoscopic plotter AGS-X500N (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) at a peel angle of 90° and a peel speed of 300mm / min to measure the peel force. Furthermore, those that could not be peeled were defined as non-peelable. The results are shown in Table 1.

On the other hand, it was confirmed that although the release layer of Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2 has excellent adhesion to the glass substrate, it is difficult to peel off from the resin substrate.
