Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a resin composition, and more particularly to a black opaque photosensitive resin composition, a black matrix, a black opaque film, a border, and a filler material for splicing areas. Background Technology

[0002] MicroLED display modules, due to their large-scale production using splicing technology, require the application of light-shielding materials to reduce defects and light reflection, thereby enhancing the visual experience. This necessitates the creation of optical materials that meet the requirements of the panel module. To meet the optical density (OD) requirements, a certain amount of black pigment paste needs to be added. However, black is a highly reflective material, and increasing its amount can actually increase reflectivity. Furthermore, differences in reactivity between the upper and lower layers of black photoresist can easily cause wrinkled structures, resulting in decreased OD in thinner areas, inconsistent light-shielding properties, and concerns about light leakage. Moreover, highly reactive black photoresist typically has a glossy finish and cannot produce extinction properties, resulting in very low scattering ratios. Summary of the Invention

[0036] <Black opaque photosensitive resin composition>

[0037] This invention provides a black, light-blocking, photosensitive resin composition, comprising resin (A), pigment (B), monomer (C), initiator (D), and solvent (E). The various components will be described in detail below.

[0038] Resin (A)

[0039] Resin (A) includes epoxy resin (A-1) and resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2).

[0040] Epoxy Resin (A-1)

[0041] The epoxy resin (A-1) may include compounds represented by formula (1), formula (2), formula (3), formula (4) or formula (5) below.

[0042] Equation (1),

[0043] Equation (2),

[0044] Equation (3),

[0045] Equation (4),

[0046] Equation (5),

[0047] In formulas (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5), R, R', and R'' are each independently at least one substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, or adamantane.

[0048] More specifically, the epoxy resin (A-1) may include alicyclic epoxy resin of formula (1), linear aliphatic epoxy resin of formula (2), glycidyl ether epoxy resin of formula (3), glycidyl ester epoxy resin of formula (4) or glycidyl amine epoxy resin of formula (5).

[0049] The alicyclic epoxy resin of formula (1) is composed of cyclohexene oxide group, tricyclodecene oxide group, and cyclopentene oxide group. Compounds such as those in the oxide group are representative examples, including: vinylcyclohexene diepoxide, vinylcyclohexene monoepoxide, methyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (3',4'-epoxycyclohexane), octyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (3',4'-epoxycyclohexane), 1-methyl-4-(2-methylepoxyethoxy)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane, 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl-5,5-spiro-3,4-epoxy)cyclohexane-m-dioxane, bis(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) adipate, bis(3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethylene) adipate, or bis(2-methyl-4,5-epoxycyclohexylmethylene) adipate.

[0050] In the molecular structure of the linear aliphatic epoxy resin of formula (2), the main components are aliphatic chains and epoxy groups.

[0051] Specific examples of glycidyl ether epoxy resins of formula (3) may include: bisphenol A type epoxy resin (e.g., “jER1001” manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), bisphenol F type epoxy resin, bisphenol S type epoxy resin, resorcinol type epoxy resin, phenolic varnish type epoxy resin, phenolic varnish type epoxy resin (ortho-, meta-, and p-cresol phenolic varnish type epoxy resins), biphenyl glycidyl ether phenolic epoxy resin, triphenol methane type epoxy resin, ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol type epoxy resin, propylene glycol or polypropylene glycol type epoxy resin, naphthalene glycol type epoxy resin, isocyanate modified epoxy resin, dicyclopentadiene skeleton type epoxy resin (e.g., “jHP-7200L” manufactured by DIC Corporation), its positional isomers or substitutes having substituents such as alkyl or halogen atoms.

[0052] Specific examples of glycidyl ester epoxy resins of formula (4) may include: diglycidyl phthalate, (methyl)tetrahydrodiglycidyl phthalate, (methyl)hexahydrodiglycidyl phthalate, diglycidyl isophthalate, diglycidyl dimeric acid, or various isomers thereof.

[0053] Specific examples of glycidylamine epoxy resins of formula (5) may include: tetraglycidyl diamino diphenylmethane, diglycidyl aniline or tetraglycidyl phenyl dimethylamine, etc.

[0054] The epoxy resin (A-1) preferably includes compounds represented by formula (6) or formula (7) below.

[0055] Equation (6),

[0056] In equation (6), R 1 This indicates a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, or a biphenyl group, where n is an integer from 1 to 10.

[0057] Equation (7),

[0058] In equation (7), m is an integer from 1 to 10.

[0059] Resins with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2)

[0060] The resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2) includes at least one vinyl unsaturated functional group. The resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2) may include (meth)acrylic resins. For example, (meth)acrylic resins may be composed of (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl (meth)acrylates, hydroxyl-containing (meth)acrylates, ether-containing (meth)acrylates, alicyclic (meth)acrylates, or other suitable monomers.

[0061] Alkyl methacrylates may include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, tributyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, or other suitable alkyl methacrylates.

[0062] Hydroxyl-containing (meth)acrylates may include hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, or other suitable hydroxyl-containing (meth)acrylates.

[0063] Ether-containing (meth)acrylates may include ethoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, or other suitable ether-containing (meth)acrylates.

[0064] Alicyclic (meth)acrylates may include cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, isophorone (meth)acrylate, dicyclopentadienyl (meth)acrylate, or other suitable alicyclic (meth)acrylates.

[0065] The total amount of the black opaque photosensitive resin composition used is 100 parts by weight, and the amount of resin (A) used is 6 to 13 parts by weight. When the total amount of resin (A) is 100% by mass, the content of epoxy resin (A-1) is 1% to 50% by mass.

[0066] The black opaque photosensitive resin composition contains both epoxy resin (A-1) and resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2), thus exhibiting excellent matting properties. If only epoxy resin (A-1) or resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2) is used, the uniform cross-linking reaction will easily result in a flat, glossy structure, failing to achieve good matting properties.

[0067] Pigment (B)

[0068] Pigment (B) includes black particles (B-1) and hollow particles (B-2).

[0069] Black particles (B-1) include carbon black, titanium black, organic black pigments, or combinations thereof.

[0070] The hollow particles (B-2) are made of silicon dioxide. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the hollow particles (B-2) is greater than 1, and the particle size ranges from 1 nm to 1000 nm. When hollow particles (B-2) with a CV value greater than 1 are used in the composition of the black opaque photosensitive resin, the distribution is more even and widespread, achieving a better low-reflection effect. If hollow particles with a CV value less than 1 are used, the particle size distribution is more concentrated, and a low-reflection effect cannot be achieved.

[0071] The total amount of the black opaque photosensitive resin composition used is 100 parts by weight, and the amount of pigment (B) used is 6 to 11 parts by weight. When the total amount of pigment (B) is 100 parts by weight, the ratio of black particles (B-1) to hollow particles (B-2) is 85:15 to 15:85, preferably 50:50 to 20:80.

[0072] The black particles (B-1) in the black opaque photosensitive resin composition function to absorb light and reduce reflection. The hollow particles (B-2) in the black opaque photosensitive resin composition function to scatter light and increase light transmittance into the opaque material where they are absorbed by the black body. This reduces light reflection and increases scattering ability, resulting in extinction properties. The black opaque photosensitive resin composition of this invention uses both black particles (B-1) and hollow particles (B-2), thus reducing reflection and producing extinction properties. If the black opaque photosensitive resin composition does not use hollow particles (B-2) in combination with black particles (B-1), but instead uses solid silicon spheres, although the surface can exhibit extinction properties, it suffers from the disadvantage of a whiter black hue and higher reflectivity.

[0073] Monomer (C)

[0074] Monomer (C) includes monomers having at least one reactive functional group. Monomers containing reactive functional groups may include at least one from the group consisting of (meth)acrylate monomers, vinyl monomers, vinyl ether monomers, and epoxy monomers.

[0108] There are no particular limitations on the preparation method of the black opaque photosensitive resin composition. For example, resin (A), pigment (B), monomer (C), initiator (D), and solvent (E) are placed in a stirrer and stirred until they are mixed evenly to obtain a liquid black opaque photosensitive resin composition.

[0109] <Manufacturing Method of Black Light-Shielding Material>

[0110] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a black light-shielding material formed using the above-described black light-shielding photosensitive resin composition. The black light-shielding material may include a black matrix, a black light-shielding film, a border, or a filler material for splicing areas, used between display components.

[0111] A black, light-blocking, photosensitive resin composition was coated onto a substrate, and excess solvent was removed by evacuation to a pressure of 133 Pa. Afterward, it was placed on a heated plate at 100°C for pre-bake for 5 to 10 minutes to form a thin film. Next, a high-pressure mercury lamp at 100 mJ / cm² was used. 2 Up to 300mJ / cm 2 The material is exposed to a certain amount of light. After exposure, it is placed in an oven at 150°C for 10 to 30 minutes to obtain a black light-blocking material. The obtained black light-blocking material can be a film with a thickness of 3.0 µm to 6.0 µm.

[0112] The substrate can be a glass substrate, a plastic substrate material (such as a polyethersulfone (PES) board, a polycarbonate (PC) board, or a polyimide (PI) film) or other light-transmitting substrate, and there are no particular restrictions on its type.

[0113] There are no particular restrictions on the coating method, but spraying, roller coating, spin coating or similar methods can be used, and generally speaking, spin coating is widely used.

[0114] The invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. The following examples are provided to illustrate the invention, and the scope of the invention includes the scope described in the following claims, as well as their substitutions and modifications, but is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0116] Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 are described below as examples of black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition and black light-blocking material.

[0117] Example 1

[0118] a. Black, light-blocking, photosensitive resin composition

[0119] Two parts by weight of HP-7200L (manufactured by DIC Corporation), eight parts by weight of resin A-4 as shown in Table 1, 7.1 parts by weight of Black carbon black paste (manufactured by Tokushiki Corporation), 1.3 parts by weight of Hollow Silica dispersion (manufactured by Sanyo Pigment Co., Ltd., particle size 54 nm ± 82 nm, particle size distribution 2 nm to 450 nm), 0.45 parts by weight of DPHA, 0.45 parts by weight of monomer C-3 as shown in Table 1, 0.35 parts by weight of Irgacure® OXE03 (manufactured by BASF), and 0.35 parts by weight of initiator D-3 as shown in Table 1 were added to 80 parts by weight of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate PGMEA and stirred evenly with a stirrer to obtain the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition of Example 1.

[0120] b. Light conversion layer

[0121] The resin compositions prepared in the examples were coated onto a glass substrate using spin coating / spray coating methods. Excess solvent was removed by evacuation and depressurization to 133 Pa. Next, the substrate was placed on a heated plate at 100°C for pre-bake for 5 to 10 minutes to form a thin film. Then, the film was subjected to a high-pressure mercury lamp (ELS106SA) containing gamma, h, and i rays at 100 mJ / cm². 2 Up to 300mJ / cm 2 The material was exposed to a certain amount of light. After exposure, it was placed in an oven at 150°C and post-baked for 10 to 30 minutes to obtain a black light-blocking material. The obtained black light-blocking material can be a thin film with a thickness of 3.0 µm to 6.0 µm. The obtained black light-blocking material was evaluated using the following evaluation methods, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0123] The black opaque photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 2 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8 were prepared using the same steps as in Example 1, except that the types and amounts of components in the black opaque photosensitive resin compositions were changed (as shown in Table 2), where the components / compounds corresponding to the numbers in Table 2 are shown in Table 1. The obtained black opaque photosensitive resin compositions were made into black opaque materials and evaluated using the following evaluation methods, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0130] <Measurement Methods and Calculation Formulas>

[0131] a. Methods for measuring reflectance and calculating scattering ratio

[0132] The SCI (Specular Component Included) and SCE (Specular Component Excluded) of the black light-blocking material were measured using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta 2600d) with a viewing angle of 10° and a light source of D65.

[0133] The scattering ratio (%) is calculated according to the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] b. Methods for determining L* value

[0136] The L* value of the black light-blocking material was measured using a spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta 2600d) with a viewing angle of 10° and a light source of D65.

[0137] c. Methods for determining OD values

[0138] The light-blocking OD value of the black film was measured using a density meter (X-rite 361C).

[0139] d. Calculation method of CV (coefficient of variation) value

[0140] The CV (coefficient of variation) value refers to the coefficient of variation (also known as the relative standard deviation) of the particle size distribution of transparent particles. This value is used to represent the degree of diffusion (error in particle size) relative to the average value (arithmetic mean diameter), and is calculated as follows. The smaller the CV value, the narrower (steeper) the particle size distribution; the larger the CV value, the wider (flatter) the particle size distribution.

[0146] <Evaluation Results>

[0147] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, compared to Comparative Examples 7 and 8, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and Examples 1 to 7 contain both epoxy resin (A-1) and resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2). Therefore, the scattering ratio of the matting effect is above 85%, and even better, it can meet the requirement of greater than 90%, which shows good matting effect. However, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 only used black particles (B-1) without hollow particles (B-2), while Comparative Example 3 used black particles (B-1) with solid silicon spheres. Therefore, although the surface has matting effect, the black color appears whiter and the reflectivity is higher, which cannot achieve the effect of L*<20 and SCI, SCE<3.

[0148] On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 11, the particle size of the added hollow particles (B-2) had a particle size distribution variation coefficient (CV) greater than 1, indicating a relatively even and widespread distribution, resulting in better low reflectivity and L* performance. Compared to Comparative Examples 4 to 6, Examples 8 and 9, although also containing a mixture of epoxy resin (A-1) and a resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2) and added hollow particles, had a more concentrated particle size distribution (particle size distribution variation coefficient (CV) less than 1) in Comparative Examples 4 to 6. Therefore, their SCI and SCE were too high, failing to achieve a low reflectivity effect.

[0149] Examples 10 and 11 combine black particles of different morphologies (B-1) with hollow particles (B-2) with a particle size distribution variation coefficient (CV) greater than 1. Both combinations exhibit good low reflectivity and good light-blocking properties (OD>3). The ratio of black particles (B-1) to hollow particles (B-2) can be 85:15 to 15:85.

[0150] As for Comparative Examples 7 and 8, although hollow particles with a particle size distribution variation coefficient (CV) greater than 1 (B-2) were also used, only epoxy resin (A-1) or resin with ethylene unsaturated functional groups (A-2) were used. Because the crosslinking reactivity was uniform, it was easy to form a flat and glossy structure. The scattering ratio was much less than 90%, and good extinction properties could not be achieved.

[0151] In summary, the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains both epoxy resin (A-1) and resin with vinyl unsaturated functional groups (A-2), thus exhibiting excellent anti-reflection properties. Furthermore, the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition of the present invention employs both black particles (B-1) and hollow particles (B-2), thereby reducing reflection and producing extinction properties. The black particles (B-1) in the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition absorb light and reduce reflection. The hollow particles (B-2) in the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition scatter light and increase light transmittance into the light-blocking material where they are absorbed by the black body. This reduces light reflection and increases scattering ability, producing extinction properties. On the other hand, the black light-blocking photosensitive resin composition of the present invention preferably uses hollow particles (B-2) with a particle size variation coefficient (CV) greater than 1, resulting in a more even and widespread distribution, to achieve a better low-reflection effect.

[0152] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
