Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic chemistry, specifically to a high-refractive-index epoxy that can be used for rapid encapsulation and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Compared with traditional light sources, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), as a new technology that converts electrical energy into light energy, have advantages such as small size, pure spectrum, fast response speed, high luminous efficiency, long life and clean and pollution-free, and are gradually becoming the mainstream light source.

[0003] LEDs typically consist of two main parts: electronic components and encapsulation materials. The encapsulation material is generally an insulating polymer, with bisphenol A epoxy resin currently being widely used. However, bisphenol A epoxy resin has the following drawbacks, which limit its application to some extent: 1. Low refractive index: most bisphenol A epoxy resins (such as DGEBA) have a refractive index of around 1.53, resulting in relatively low light extraction efficiency; 2. Slow curing speed, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design an epoxy resin for encapsulation with a high refractive index and fast curing speed. Summary of the Invention
