Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device encapsulation composition, an electronic device encapsulation film forming method and an electronic device encapsulation film, and in particular to an electronic device encapsulation composition that can prevent moisture permeation, has excellent encapsulation performance and bending resistance, and can improve luminous efficiency. Background Art

[0002] For electronic devices, particularly organic electroluminescent devices (hereinafter also referred to as "organic EL devices" or "organic EL elements"), it has been proposed to cover the surface of the organic EL element with an encapsulation layer to prevent the organic materials and electrodes used from being degraded by moisture.

[0003] As a technology for encapsulating organic EL elements, for example, the technology described in Patent Document 1 discloses a display device, which is obtained by forming an organic protective film on the surface of an organic EL element by vapor deposition, inkjet or other methods using a composition including a monomer without an aromatic hydrocarbon group, a monomer with an aromatic hydrocarbon group, and a monomer with an aromatic hydrocarbon group containing two or more phenyl groups and heteroatoms and including a mono(meth)acrylate and a di(meth)acrylate.

[0004] However, the display device described in Patent Document 1 has a problem with water permeation under harsh conditions of high temperature and high humidity such as 85°C, 85% RH, and more than 100 hours because the diffusion coefficient of the organic protective film is too low. In addition, the stress difference and insufficient adhesion between the organic protective film and the adjacent layers cause problems with bending resistance when bent.

[0005] On the other hand, as a technology for encapsulating organic EL elements, for example, the technology described in Patent Document 2 discloses an organic EL device comprising: a first protective film formed on the surface of the organic EL element by a dry method (CVD method) so as to cover the organic EL element; and a second protective film formed on the surface of the first protective film by a wet method and used to fill the unattached portion of the first protective film.

[0006] However, in the organic EL device described in the above-mentioned patent document 2, the second protective film is modified under high temperature and high humidity environment. In addition, since the stress of the second protective film is large, the interface adhesion between the first protective film and the second protective film is deteriorated under high temperature and high humidity of 85°C and 85% RH for more than 100 hours (presumably), resulting in the problem of water permeation at the interface between the first protective film and the second protective film, thereby resulting in poor packaging performance. In addition, when such packaging is performed, there is a problem of deterioration of the luminous efficiency of the organic EL element.

[0043] The mechanism of expression and action of the effects of the present invention are not yet clear, but are presumed as follows.

[0044] (Water Permeation)

[0045] Since the composition for encapsulating electronic devices of the present invention contains the above-mentioned photocurable monomer (A) without an aromatic hydrocarbon group, the above-mentioned photocurable monomer (B) with an aromatic hydrocarbon group, and the above-mentioned metal-containing compound (C), the ligand of the above-mentioned metal-containing compound (C) forms a network in the polymer composed of the above-mentioned photocurable monomer (A) without an aromatic hydrocarbon group and the above-mentioned photocurable monomer (B) with an aromatic hydrocarbon group, i.e., the acrylic resin, and suppresses the microscopic Brownian motion and macroscopic Brownian motion of the polymer chain of the acrylic resin, and the oxycarbonyl group in the polymer interacts with water, thereby preventing the diffusion of water. In addition, the metal and ligand of the above-mentioned metal-containing compound (C) interact or react with water to suppress the movement of water, and in this respect, the diffusion of water is also prevented. As a result, water permeation is suppressed and the encapsulation performance is excellent.

[0046] (Luminous efficiency of electronic devices)

[0047] Since the second encapsulation layer contains not only a polymer of an organic compound but also the above-mentioned metal-containing compound (C) and a compound derived from the metal-containing compound (C) which are relatively similar in chemical structure to the compounds constituting the first encapsulation layer and the third encapsulation layer, the gradient caused by the difference in refractive index between the adjacent first encapsulation layer / second encapsulation layer / third encapsulation layer is mitigated, thereby suppressing reflection of light between the layers, thereby improving light extraction efficiency, that is, improving the luminous efficiency of the electronic device.

[0048] (Bending resistance)

[0049] The metal or ligand contained in the metal-containing compound (C) contained in the second encapsulation layer has an interaction or affinity with the compound constituting the adjacent layer, so that, for example, the interaction with the adjacent first encapsulation layer or third encapsulation layer becomes stronger, and the adhesion is improved. As a result, the resistance to the interlayer stress generated by bending is improved, and the bending resistance is excellent.

[0050] In addition, the metal-containing compound (C) prevents water diffusion, and thus reliability can be ensured even with a thin film. A thin film reduces stress during bending and reduces delamination. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0195] In the second encapsulating layer forming process, the second encapsulating layer is formed by applying the encapsulating composition of the present invention onto the first encapsulating layer.

[0196] Specifically, the method may include a step of coating the encapsulating composition on the first encapsulating layer (coating step), and irradiating the obtained coating film with vacuum ultraviolet rays in a nitrogen atmosphere to perform a modification treatment.

[0197] (Coating process)

[0198] As a coating method for the encapsulation composition, any appropriate method can be adopted, for example, spin coating, roll coating, flow coating, inkjet, spray coating, printing, dip coating, cast film forming, rod coating, gravure printing, etc. Among them, the inkjet method is preferably used in terms of being able to perform fine patterning required when encapsulating electronic devices such as organic EL elements as needed.

[0199] As the inkjet method, a known method can be used.

[0200] The inkjet method is roughly divided into two types: the drop-on-demand method and the continuous method, and either method can be used. As the drop-on-demand method, there are electro-mechanical conversion methods (for example, single-chamber type, dual-chamber type, bend (bender) type, piston type, shared module type, shared wall type, etc.), electro-thermal conversion methods (for example, thermal inkjet type, BUBBLEJET (Japanese registered trademark) type, etc.), electrostatic attraction methods (for example, electric field control type, slit jet type, etc.) and discharge methods (for example, electric spark jet type, etc.). From the perspective of the cost and productivity of the nozzle, it is preferred to use a nozzle of an electro-mechanical conversion method or an electro-thermal conversion method. It should be noted that the method of dripping droplets (for example, coating liquid) according to the inkjet method is sometimes called "inkjet method".

[0201] The encapsulating composition is preferably applied under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0202] (Reforming process)

[0203] The modification step may include a step of irradiating the obtained coating film with vacuum ultraviolet rays in a nitrogen atmosphere to perform modification after the coating step.

[0204] The modification treatment refers to a conversion reaction of polysilazane into silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride. The modification treatment is also performed in a nitrogen atmosphere and under reduced pressure as in a glove box.

[0205] The modification treatment in the present invention can be selected from a known method based on the conversion reaction of polysilazane. In the present invention, it is preferred to use a conversion reaction of plasma, ozone, or ultraviolet light that can perform the conversion reaction at low temperature. Plasma and ozone can use a conventionally known method. In the present invention, it is preferred to form the second encapsulation layer of the present invention by providing the above-mentioned coating film and irradiating vacuum ultraviolet light (also referred to as VUV) with a wavelength of less than 200nm for modification treatment.

[0206] The thickness of the second encapsulating layer is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 20 μm, more preferably in the range of 3 to 10 μm.

[0207] The second encapsulating layer may be a layer in which the entire layer is modified. The thickness of the modified layer after the modification treatment is preferably in the range of 1 to 50 nm, and more preferably in the range of 1 to 30 nm.

[0208] In the step of irradiating the coating film with vacuum ultraviolet rays for modification, the illuminance of the vacuum ultraviolet rays on the coating film surface is preferably 30 to 200 mW / cm 2 The range of 50 to 160 mW / cm 2 By making the illuminance of vacuum ultraviolet light 30mW / cm 2Above, the reforming efficiency can be fully improved, at 200mW / cm 2 When the ratio is less than 0.1%, the occurrence rate of damage on the coating film can be extremely suppressed, and damage to the substrate can also be reduced, which is preferred.

[0209] In the irradiation of vacuum ultraviolet rays, the irradiation energy of vacuum ultraviolet rays on the coating film surface is preferably 1 to 10 J / cm 2 In the range of 3 to 7 J / cm2, from the viewpoint of the barrier property and moisture heat resistance for maintaining the dehumidification function, the 2 within the range.

[0210] It should be noted that as the light source of vacuum ultraviolet light, it is preferred to use a rare gas excimer lamp. Since vacuum ultraviolet light is easily reduced in efficiency in the vacuum ultraviolet light irradiation process due to the presence of oxygen-based absorption, the irradiation of vacuum ultraviolet light is preferably carried out in a state of oxygen concentration as low as possible. That is, the oxygen concentration during vacuum ultraviolet light irradiation is preferably in the range of 10 to 10000ppm, more preferably in the range of 50 to 5000ppm, further preferably in the range of 80 to 4500ppm, and most preferably in the range of 100 to 1000ppm.

[0211] The modification treatment may also be combined with the heat treatment. By using the temperature in the range of preferably 50 to 300° C., more preferably 60 to 150° C., and preferably 1 second to 60 minutes, more preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes as the heating conditions, the dehydration condensation reaction during the modification can be promoted, and the modified body can be formed more effectively.

[0212] As the heat treatment, for example, there are no particular limitations on the method of heating the coating film by contacting a heating element such as a substrate heating block with the coating film to heat the coating film by heat conduction, a method of heating the atmosphere by using an external heater based on a resistance wire or the like, a method of using light in the infrared region such as an IR heater, etc. In addition, a method that can maintain the smoothness of the coating film containing the silicon compound can be appropriately selected.

[0213] <Third Encapsulation Layer Formation Process>

[0214] The third encapsulation layer forming process forms the third encapsulation layer on the second encapsulation layer by using a vapor phase method.

[0215] As the gas phase method, similar to the gas phase method used in the first encapsulation layer formation process, there can be mentioned a sputtering method (for example, magnetron cathode sputtering, planar magnetron sputtering, two-pole AC planar magnetron sputtering, two-pole AC rotating magnetron sputtering, etc., including reactive sputtering), a vapor deposition method (for example, resistance heating vapor deposition, electron beam vapor deposition, ion beam vapor deposition, plasma assisted vapor deposition, etc.), a thermal CVD method, a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method (Cat-CVD), a capacitively coupled plasma CVD method (CCP-CVD), a photo CVD method, a plasma CVD method (PE-CVD), an epitaxial growth method, a chemical vapor deposition method such as an atomic layer deposition method (ALD), etc. Among them, formation by an ALD method or a CVD method is preferred.

[0216] The third encapsulation layer contains silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxide (silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide, etc.), or silicon oxynitride.

[0217] The thickness of the third encapsulation layer is, for example, preferably in the range of 10 to 1000 nm, more preferably in the range of 100 to 500 nm.

[0218] It should be noted that after the package film is formed as described above, a conductive film for a touch sensor may be further formed.

[0219] The conductive film may be composed of a graphite film having excellent flexibility, a metal nanowire film (e.g., a film containing silver nanowires or copper nanowires), or a metal nanoparticle film (e.g., a film containing silver nanoparticles or copper nanoparticles), in addition to a metal compound film such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) or IZO (Indium Zinc Oxide). In addition, the conductive film may be composed of a laminated film of multiple metals such as Al film / Ti film / Al film.

[0220] [Electronic equipment packaging film]

[0221] The electronic device encapsulating film of the present invention is an electronic device encapsulating film for encapsulating electronic devices, and comprises a first encapsulating layer containing silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride and a second encapsulating layer obtained using the electronic device encapsulating composition of the present invention.

[0222] The electronic device encapsulating film of the present invention is formed by the above-mentioned electronic device encapsulating film forming method. That is, the second encapsulating layer is formed using the above-mentioned electronic device encapsulating composition of the present invention.

[0223] In addition, the electronic device encapsulating film of the present invention preferably further comprises a third encapsulating layer containing silicon nitride, silicon oxide, or silicon oxynitride on the second encapsulating layer.

[0224] <1st packaging layer>

[0225] The first encapsulation layer is a layer formed on the electronic device by a vapor phase method and specifically contains silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxide (silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide, etc.), or silicon oxynitride.

[0226] <Second Encapsulation Layer>

[0227] The second encapsulating layer is provided adjacent to the first encapsulating layer, and is formed by applying the encapsulating composition onto the first encapsulating layer.

[0228] Therefore, the second encapsulating layer contains a polymer having a structure represented by the following general formula (3A) and the following general formula (3B), and the above-mentioned metal-containing compound (C).

[0229]

[0230] [In the above general formula (3A) and the above general formula (3B), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. A is a structure without an aromatic hydrocarbon group. B has an aromatic hydrocarbon group, has a structure represented by the above general formula (1) and contains a hydrocarbon group containing two or more substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups, or a hydrocarbon group containing a heteroatom containing two or more substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups, and contains at least a mono(meth)acrylate or a di(meth)acrylate.]

[0231] In the above general formula (3A) and the above general formula (3B), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

[0232] In the above general formula (3A) and general formula (3B), A is a structure without an aromatic hydrocarbon group.

From the viewpoint of more effectively obtaining the effect of the present invention, organic EL elements, solar cells or LED elements are preferred, and organic EL elements are particularly preferred.

[0241] <Organic EL devices>

[0242] The organic EL element used in the electronic device of the present invention may be a bottom emission type organic EL element that extracts light from a transparent substrate side.

[0243] The bottom emission type is specifically constituted by laminating a transparent electrode as a cathode, a light emitting functional layer, and a counter electrode as an anode in this order on a transparent substrate.

[0244] The organic EL element of the present invention may be a top emission type organic EL element in which light is extracted from a transparent electrode side serving as a cathode opposite to a substrate.

[0245] Specifically, the top emission type has a structure in which a counter electrode as an anode is provided on the substrate side, and a light-emitting functional layer and a transparent electrode as a cathode are sequentially stacked on the surface thereof.

[0253] Furthermore, the organic EL element may have a non-luminescent intermediate layer. The intermediate layer may be a charge generating layer or may be composed of a multiphoton unit.

[0254] As an overview of the organic EL element applicable to the present invention, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-157634, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-168552, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-177361, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-187211, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-191644, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-191804, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-225678, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-235994, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-24 The configurations described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 3234, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-243236, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-242366, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-243371, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-245179, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-003249, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-003299, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-013910, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-017493, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-017494, etc.

[0255] <Base material>

[0256] As a base material (hereinafter also referred to as supporting substrate, base, substrate, support, etc.) that can be used in the above-mentioned organic EL element, specifically, glass or a resin film is preferably used. When flexibility is required, a resin film is preferably used.

[0257] In addition, it may be transparent or opaque. In the case of a so-called bottom emission type in which light is extracted from the substrate side, the substrate is preferably transparent.

[0258] Preferred resins include polyester resins, methacrylic resins, methacrylic acid-maleic acid copolymers, polystyrene resins, transparent fluorine resins, polyimides, fluorinated polyimide resins, polyamide resins, polyamide-imide resins, polyether-imide resins, cellulose acylate resins, polyurethane resins, polyether-ether-ketone resins, polycarbonate resins, alicyclic polyolefin resins, polyarylate resins, polyethersulfone resins, polysulfone resins, cycloolefin copolymers, fluorene ring-modified polycarbonate resins, alicyclic-modified polycarbonate resins, fluorene ring-modified polyester resins, acrylic compounds and other thermoplastic resins. The resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0259] The substrate is preferably made of a heat-resistant material. Specifically, a substrate having a linear expansion coefficient of 15 ppm / K to 100 ppm / K and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 100° C. to 300° C. can be used.

[0260] The substrate meets the necessary conditions for use in electronic components and as a laminated film for displays. That is, when the encapsulation film of the present invention is used in these applications, the substrate is sometimes exposed to a process above 150°C. In this case, if the linear expansion coefficient of the substrate exceeds 100ppm / K, the substrate size is unstable when flowing through the process at the temperature described above, and it is easy to produce the undesirable situation of deterioration of insulation performance or the undesirable situation of not being able to withstand the heat process accompanied by thermal expansion and contraction. When it is less than 15ppm / K, the film will crack like glass, and there is a situation where the flexibility is deteriorated.

[0261] The Tg and linear expansion coefficient of the substrate can be adjusted by using additives and the like.

[0262] More preferred specific examples of thermoplastic resins that can be used as the substrate include polyethylene terephthalate (PET: 70°C), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN: 120°C), polycarbonate (PC: 140°C), alicyclic polyolefins (e.g., ZEONOR (registered trademark) 1600 manufactured by Zeon Corporation: 160°C), polyarylates (PAr: 210°C), polyether sulfone (PES: 220°C), polysulfone (PSF: 190°C), cycloolefin copolymers (COC: described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-150584). The temperature of the polyimide is 250°C, 250°C, 20 ...

[0263] Since the electronic device of the present invention is an electronic device such as an organic EL element, the substrate is preferably transparent. That is, the light transmittance is usually 80% or more, preferably 85% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The light transmittance can be calculated by subtracting the scattered light transmittance from the total light transmittance by measuring the total light transmittance and the amount of scattered light using an integrating sphere light transmittance measuring device according to JIS K7105:1981.

[0264] In addition, the substrates mentioned above may be unstretched films or stretched films. The substrates may be manufactured by conventionally known general methods. The manufacturing methods of these substrates may adopt the matters described in paragraphs

[0051] to

[0055] of International Publication No. 2013 / 002026.

[0265] The surface of the substrate may be subjected to various known treatments for improving adhesion, such as corona discharge treatment, flame treatment, oxidation treatment or plasma treatment, or the above treatments may be combined as required. In addition, the substrate may be subjected to an easy-adhesion treatment.

[0266] The substrate may be a single layer or a laminated structure of two or more layers. When the substrate has a laminated structure of two or more layers, each substrate may be of the same type or of different types.

[0267] The thickness of the substrate of the present invention (the total thickness in the case of a laminated structure of two or more layers) is preferably 10 to 200 μm, more preferably 20 to 150 μm.

[0268] In the case of a film substrate, a film substrate with a gas barrier layer is preferred.

[0269] The gas barrier layer for the film substrate may be formed as an inorganic film, an organic film, or a hybrid film of the two on the surface of the film substrate, and preferably has a water vapor transmission rate (25±0.5°C, relative humidity (90±2)% RH) of 0.01 g / m 2 The barrier film with a shelf life of 24 hours or less is more preferably an oxygen permeability of 1×10 -3 mL / m 2 ·24h·atm or less, water vapor transmission rate is 1×10 -3 g / m 2 ·High gas barrier film for less than 24 hours.

[0270] The gas barrier layer may be formed of any material as long as it has the function of suppressing the infiltration of substances such as moisture and oxygen that cause element degradation. For example, silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxycarbide, etc. can be used.

[0271] The gas barrier layer is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of an inorganic gas barrier layer of silicon monoxide, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxycarbide, etc., it is preferred to form a layer of the inorganic material by using a sputtering method (for example, magnetron cathode sputtering, planar magnetron sputtering, diode AC planar magnetron sputtering, diode AC rotary magnetron sputtering, etc.), a vapor deposition method (for example, resistance heating vapor deposition, electron beam vapor deposition, ion beam vapor deposition, plasma assisted vapor deposition, etc.), a thermal CVD method, a catalytic chemical vapor deposition method (Cat-CVD), a capacitively coupled plasma CVD method (CCP-CVD), a photoCVD method, a plasma CVD method (PE-CVD), an epitaxial growth method, an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, a reactive sputtering method, and other chemical vapor deposition methods.

[0272] In addition, the inorganic gas barrier layer can also be formed by applying a coating liquid containing an inorganic precursor such as polysilazane, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) on a support and then performing a modification treatment such as irradiation with vacuum ultraviolet light to form an inorganic gas barrier layer, or by film metallization technology such as plating a metal on a resin substrate to bond a metal foil to the resin substrate.

[0273] In addition, the inorganic gas barrier layer may include an organic layer containing an organic polymer. In other words, the inorganic gas barrier layer may be a laminate of an inorganic layer containing an inorganic material and an organic layer.

[0274] The organic layer can be formed, for example, by coating an organic monomer or an organic oligomer on a resin substrate to form a layer, followed by polymerization and crosslinking as required using, for example, an electron beam device, a UV light source, a discharge device or other appropriate device. In addition, for example, it can also be formed by evaporating an organic monomer or an organic oligomer that can be flash-evaporated and radiation-crosslinked and then forming a polymer from the organic monomer or organic oligomer. The coating efficiency can be improved by cooling the resin substrate.

[0275] As the coating method of organic monomer or organic oligomer, for example, roll coating method (for example, gravure roll coating method), spray coating method (for example, electrostatic spray coating method) etc. can be enumerated. In addition, as the example of the laminate of inorganic layer and organic layer, for example, the laminate of record in International Publication No. 2012 / 003198 and International Publication No. 2011 / 013341 etc. can be enumerated.

[0276] In the case of a laminate of an inorganic layer and an organic layer, the thickness of each layer may be the same or different. The thickness of the inorganic layer is preferably in the range of 3 to 1000 nm, more preferably in the range of 10 to 300 nm. The thickness of the organic layer is preferably in the range of 100 nm to 100 μm, more preferably in the range of 1 to 50 μm.
