Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an encapsulating material for an organic electronic device and an organic electronic device including the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an encapsulating material for an organic electronic device and an organic electronic device including the same. The encapsulating material removes and blocks substances such as moisture and impurities that may cause defects, preventing them from approaching the organic electronic device. The encapsulating material prevents interlayer delamination that may occur when moisture is removed. Furthermore, the encapsulating material exhibits excellent moisture and heat resistance, and when a thin film encapsulation process is performed, excellent adhesion is achieved between the organic electronic device and the encapsulating material at room temperature. Background Art
[0002] An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a light-emitting diode whose light-emitting layer is composed of a thin film of organic compounds. It generates light through electroluminescence by passing an electric current through an organic fluorescent compound. These OLEDs typically achieve their primary colors using methods such as the three-color (red, green, and blue) independent pixel method, the color conversion method (CCM), and color filtering. Depending on the amount of organic matter contained in the luminescent material used, they are categorized as low-molecular-weight organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and high-molecular-weight organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Furthermore, they can be divided into passive and active drive methods based on their driving method.
[0003] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer the advantages of high efficiency, low voltage operation, and simple operation due to their self-luminescence, making them suitable for high-definition video. Furthermore, their applications in flexible displays and organic electronic devices, which utilize the flexibility of organic materials, are highly anticipated.
[0004] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are manufactured by stacking organic compounds as a light-emitting layer in thin film form on a substrate. However, the organic compounds used in OLEDs are highly sensitive to impurities, oxygen, and moisture, and their properties are easily degraded by external exposure or penetration of moisture or oxygen. This degradation of organic compounds affects the OLED's light-emitting properties and shortens its lifespan. To prevent this, a thin-film encapsulation process is required to prevent oxygen, moisture, and other substances from entering the interior of organic electronic devices.
[0005] As mentioned above, the thin film encapsulation process is used to prevent degradation of the organic compound layers of the OLED. The object to be encapsulated is the OLED display panel, and the portion of the display panel to which the encapsulation material directly adheres is the substrate.
[0006] Conventionally, metal or glass cans were processed into a can shape with grooves, and a desiccant for absorbing moisture was placed in the grooves in powder form. However, this method had the problem of not being able to simultaneously achieve the following effects: removing moisture permeability to the encapsulated organic electronic device at the desired level; blocking moisture, impurities, and other substances that could cause problems from reaching the organic electronic device; and preventing interlayer delamination that could occur when removing moisture, while also achieving excellent moisture and heat resistance.
[0007] Furthermore, the thin film encapsulation process is generally performed at a relatively high temperature of approximately 40° C. to 60° C. in order to bond the encapsulation material for encapsulating the organic light emitting diode to each other (=encapsulation).
[0008] However, this method suffers from process inefficiencies: Setting the process temperature to approximately 40°C to 60°C requires raising the temperature, and then lowering it again to proceed to the next step. Furthermore, performing the thin-film encapsulation process at approximately 40°C to 60°C can cause warping due to differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the substrate to which the encapsulation material is bonded and the metal material attached to impart rigidity.
[0009] Therefore, unlike in the past, it is necessary to develop the following technology: to achieve this in a way that can bond the packaging material to the substrate (glass) under room temperature conditions, and to exhibit excellent performance as a packaging material (moisture penetration length, volume expansion evaluation, heat resistance evaluation, durability evaluation) and adhesion, so that the bonded packaging material can function as a packaging material at room temperature.

[0090] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. The present invention can be implemented in a variety of different embodiments and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. To clearly illustrate the present invention, portions not relevant to the description are omitted from the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification, identical or similar structural elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0091] Reference Figure 1 For illustration, the encapsulation material for an organic electronic device of the present invention may include an encapsulation resin layer 10 .
[0092] The encapsulating resin layer 10 of the present invention may include an encapsulating resin, a tackifier, and moisture absorbents 40 ′, 40 ″.
[0093] First, the encapsulation resin may include a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, preferably, a polyolefin resin, and the polyolefin resin may include one or more of a poly (C2-C6) alkylene resin selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisobutylene, etc., and a random copolymer resin formed by copolymerizing ethylene, propylene and / or diene compounds.

[0099] And, since R in Chemical Formula 1 1 For hydrogen atoms, C3~C 10 Straight chain alkenyl or C4~C 10 The reliability can be better with the branched alkenyl group.
[0100] Furthermore, in Chemical Formula 1, n is a rational number that satisfies a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 g / mol to 1,550,000 g / mol. Preferably, n can be a rational number that satisfies a weight average molecular weight of 40,000 g / mol to 1,500,000 g / mol. If the weight average molecular weight is less than 30,000 g / mol, there is a problem of panel sagging caused by a decrease in modulus, there may be a problem of reduced heat resistance, there is a problem of reduced reliability due to reduced filling capacity of the hygroscopic agent, there is a problem of reduced mechanical properties, and there may be a problem of warping with the substrate due to volume expansion of the hygroscopic agent due to reduced elasticity. Furthermore, if the weight average molecular weight is greater than 1,550,000 g / mol, the adhesion is reduced, thereby having a problem of reduced adhesion to the substrate, and as the modulus increases, there is a problem of reduced adhesion to the panel.
[0101] The compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 may have a crystallization temperature of 100 to 140° C., preferably 110 to 130° C., and more preferably 115 to 125° C., when measured by the following measurement method.
[0102] Measurement method
[0103] The crystallization temperature (Tc) was measured by cooling from 200°C to -150°C at a rate of 10°C / min and analyzing the peak of the cooling curve of the heat flow measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Preferably, they may include one or more of a moisture absorbent containing zeolite, titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, or montmorillonite as components, a metal salt, and a metal oxide. More preferably, they may include a metal oxide.
[0106] The metal oxide may include one or more metal oxides such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), lithium oxide (Li2O), sodium oxide (Na2O), barium oxide (BaO), calcium oxide (CaO) or magnesium oxide (MgO), organic metal oxides and phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5).
[0107] The metal salt may include sulfates such as lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), calcium sulfate (CaSO4), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), cobalt sulfate (CoSO4), gallium sulfate (Ga2(SO4)3), titanium sulfate (Ti(SO4)2), or nickel sulfate (NiSO4), calcium chloride (CaCl2), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), strontium chloride (SrCl2), yttrium chloride (YCl3), copper chloride (CuCl2), fluorine One or more of metal halides such as cesium fluoride (CsF), tantalum fluoride (TaF5), niobium fluoride (NbF5), lithium bromide (LiBr), calcium bromide (CaBr2), cesium bromide (CeBr3), selenium bromide (SeBr4), vanadium bromide (VBr3), magnesium bromide (MgBr2), barium iodide (BaI2) or magnesium iodide (MgI2) and metal chlorates such as barium perchlorate (Ba(ClO4)2) or magnesium perchlorate (Mg(ClO4)2).
[0108] It is recommended to use a desiccant with a purity of 95% or more. If the purity is less than 95%, not only will the desiccant function be reduced, but the substances contained in the desiccant will act as impurities and cause defects in the packaging film. It may also affect organic electronic devices, but is not limited to this.
[0109] In addition, the encapsulating resin layer 10 of the present invention may further include one or more selected from a curing agent and an ultraviolet initiator.
[0110] The curing agent may include, without limitation, substances commonly used as curing agents. Preferably, it may include substances that can ensure sufficient crosslinking density of the encapsulation resin layer while acting as a crosslinking agent. More preferably, it may include one or more selected from a urethane acrylate curing agent with a weight average molecular weight of 100 g / mol to 1500 g / mol and an acrylate curing agent with a weight average molecular weight of 100 g / mol to 1500 g / mol. If the weight average molecular weight of the curing agent is less than 100 g / mol, the hardness increases, thereby reducing the panel adhesion and the adhesion to the substrate, and outgassing of the unreacted curing agent may occur. If the weight average molecular weight is greater than 1500 g / mol, the softness increases, thereby reducing the mechanical properties.
[0111] The UV initiator may include, without limitation, commonly used UV initiators. As a preferred example, the UV initiator may include one or more selected from the group consisting of monoacylphosphine, bisacylphosphine, α-hydroxyketone, α-aminoketone, phenylglyoxylate, and benzyldimethylketal.
[0112] Furthermore, the encapsulating resin layer 10 of the present invention satisfies the following Relational Expressions 1 and 2.

[0117] BA shows the degree of deformation of the encapsulation resin layer due to pressure. If BA is less than 0.3μm, the degree of deformation is too small and the layer is strong. Then, when bonding is performed, there will be a problem of poor bonding quality due to insufficient filling of the height difference. If BA is greater than 2.0μm, the degree of deformation is too large, and there will be a problem of adhesive deformation due to insufficient resistance to the applied pressure.

[0121] Mathematical formula 1:
[0122] In the above mathematical formula 1, A and B are defined as in the above relational formula 1.
[0123] CIT is a creep property, which refers to the rate of change of penetration length over time when a specified load is applied.
[0124] If C is less than 5%, the low deformation rate against pressure may cause poor lamination quality. If C is greater than 45%, the high deformation rate against pressure may cause degradation during lamination.
[0125] In addition, in the above-mentioned equations 1 and 2, A can be 4.1μm to 12.1μm, preferably 4.5μm to 10.5μm, more preferably 5.5μm to 8.0μm, and even more preferably 5.7μm to 7.5μm. If A is less than 4.1μm, the peel strength will be reduced due to insufficient adhesion to the panel during bonding. If A is greater than 12.1μm, there will be problems such as adhesive aging due to product loading during storage and transportation.
[0126] Moreover, in the above-mentioned equations 1 and 2, B can be 4.6μm to 12.6μm, preferably 5.1μm to 10.7μm, more preferably 5.8μm to 8.5μm, and even more preferably 6.1μm to 8.0μm. If B is less than 4.6μm, there will be a problem of poor bonding quality due to insufficient filling of the height difference during bonding. If B is greater than 12.6μm, there will be a problem of deformation of the adhesive due to insufficient resistance to pressure.
[0127] As another embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides an encapsulation material for an organic electronic device, which includes an encapsulation resin layer.

If the amount of the desiccant 40' is less than 110 parts by weight, the durability of the organic electronic device may be reduced due to the inability to achieve the desired dehumidification effect in the second encapsulation resin layer 12. If the amount of the desiccant 40' is greater than 205 parts by weight, the adhesive properties may be significantly reduced and the volume may expand excessively upon moisture absorption, resulting in the encapsulation resin layer 10 including the first encapsulation resin layer 11 and the second encapsulation resin layer 12 and / or the second encapsulation resin layer 12 and the first encapsulation resin layer 11 being warped in the organic electronic device, allowing moisture to quickly penetrate therebetween and shortening the life of the organic electronic device.
