Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to polyester film, and relates to an optical polyester film for flexible display. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a high molecular material obtained by esterification and polycondensation reaction of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The polyester film is prepared by melt co-extrusion and two-way stretching of PET material. The polyester film is widely used in packaging, industry, electricity, electronics, display, protection, explosion-proof and other fields due to its good mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical insulation and optical properties.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous progress of science and technology, people's demand for the quality of life is increasingly obvious. Traditional display (LCD) technology can meet people's needs in terms of thinness, brightness and response speed, and flexible display (OLED) technology emerges as the times require. OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) refers to the phenomenon that organic semiconductor materials and light-emitting materials emit light under the driving of an electric field by injecting and recombining carriers. Its principle is that ITO transparent electrode and metal electrode are used as anode and cathode of the device respectively. Under the driving of a certain voltage, electrons and holes are injected into the electron and hole transport layers from the cathode and anode respectively. The electrons and holes migrate through the electron and hole transport layers to the light-emitting layer, and meet in the light-emitting layer to form excitons and excite the light-emitting molecules. The latter emits visible light by radiative relaxation. The radiation light can be observed from the ITO side, and the metal electrode film also acts as a reflecting layer. The display made according to this light-emitting principle is called organic light-emitting display, also called OLED display, which can realize flexible display. OLED has a series of advantages such as active light-emitting, no viewing angle problem, light weight, small thickness, high brightness, high light-emitting efficiency, rich light-emitting materials, easy realization of color display, fast response speed, high dynamic picture quality, wide temperature range, flexible display, simple process, low cost, strong anti-shock ability and the like.

[0004] OLED is a self-luminous flexible display technology, and does not need a traditional display backlight module. At present, the thin film material for flexible display generally includes two types. One type is for process, which mainly protects the display device from scratches and wear during the manufacturing process and is removed before assembly. The other type is integrated with flexible display and finally applied to mobile phones, notebooks and the like. The most commonly used types are organic light-emitting material support and OLED display screen protection.

[0005] Process film material, because it is mainly made process protection, and will not be used in mobile phones, notebook display, so the performance requirements are relatively low, generally polyester film can meet its use requirements.

[0006] And as the life-long follow electronic products, especially folding screen display application of film material, its bending resistance, flexibility and resistance to bending, etc. have high requirements, generally polyester film is difficult to meet its use requirements. For flexible display, especially the folding screen display field of film material many high performance requirements, the existing polyester film field problem solving technical scheme is: 1, using polyethylene naphthalate and polyethylene terephthalate blend modification, improve the bending resistance of polyester film. 2, the different thickness of polyester film multilayer stacking composite, through the overall thickness to improve the strength of the composite film material, using the elastic body between the composite layers to provide flexibility. 3, application of transparent polyimide (Colorless Polyimide) film, as a support and screen protection.

[0007] Although the technical staff has carried on a lot of research to polyester film, but the existing polyester film problem solving technical scheme still has many deficiencies: 1, polyethylene naphthalate and polyethylene terephthalate blend modification, improve the bending resistance of polyester film, naphthalene ring in polyethylene naphthalate, can improve the rigidity of polyester film to a certain extent, to improve the bending resistance, but does not consider the flexibility, easy to cause the modified polyester film in the bending position produces fold. 2, through the effective combination of polyester film and elastic glue, the flexibility and toughness of the laminated body can be considered, but the glue resistance to heat, aging resistance, yellowing resistance and other aspects are worse than polyester film, "barrel principle" makes the actual application effect of laminated body worse. 3, at present, ordinary polyimide film (yellow) has been mass produced in China, but due to its color, it is difficult to be used in folding mobile phones and other flexible displays. Transparent polyimide film bending resistance, flexibility and other can meet the requirements of flexible display, especially folding display, but its manufacturing technology is still monopolized by Japan and South Korea, the manufacturing difficulty is big, the application cost is high.

[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0030] The present application is a kind of optical polyester film for flexible display, which is made by bidirectional stretching and has single-layer A, double-layer A / B, three-layer A / B / A or three-layer A / B / C structure.

[0031] The A layer, the C layer or / and the B layer contains modified polyester. The modified polyester of the present application is obtained by esterification of diacid and dihydric alcohol at a use ratio of 1:(1.2-1.43) mole ratio.

[0032] The diacid is selected from one or any mole ratio of a plurality of combinations of terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, adipic acid, dodecanedioic acid, etc.

[0033] The dihydric alcohol includes the following mole fractions of each substance:

[0034] 1,1'-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)cyclohexane 3-25%

[0035] Trans-1-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanediol 2-15%

[0036] Neopentyl glycol 1-10%

[0037] Ethylene glycol 50-94%.

[0038] The base diol ethylene glycol is replaced by 1,1'-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)cyclohexane, trans-1-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanediol, neopentyl glycol, new monomers are introduced, and the molecular chain structure is micro-designed. 1,1'-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)cyclohexane exists in a chair conformation, the C-C-C bond angle is 109.5°, the carbon-carbon bond rotates in the ring without breaking the carbon-carbon bond, which provides flexibility to the molecular chain, and the existence of the dimethylphenyl group on the e bond further ensures the stability of the molecular chain; at the same time, the biphenyl effectively provides the rigidity required in the alcohol chain, the chair conformation distribution of the six-membered carbon ring provides elastic support to the polyester macromolecular segment, makes it rigid and tough, and effectively improves the overall flexibility, toughness and rigidity. Trans-1-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanediol also has the performance characteristics of the chair conformation, and this conformation has very small carbon-carbon bond tension and is very stable. The trans functional group is more easily rotated than the cis functional group, and the activity resistance is smaller, and the half-chair conformation distribution of the five-membered carbon ring cooperates with the six-membered carbon ring, which is beneficial to the improvement of the flexibility of the whole molecular chain segment. Neopentyl glycol has the flexibility of aliphatic carbon chains, but the pure straight carbon chain has poor rigidity and insufficient temperature resistance, and the existence of dimethyl in neopentyl glycol plays a fixing support role on the straight carbon chain in the spatial position. The existence of ethylene glycol ensures that the entire polyethylene terephthalate system remains unchanged, and only the molecular structure design is chemically modified. In the present application, the several monomers interact with and coordinate with each other, and are indispensable, and 1,1'-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)cyclohexane, trans-1-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanediol, neopentyl glycol and ethylene glycol can make the technical effect of the present application reach the best through the design of the appropriate molar fraction in the present application.

If the thickness is too thick, it is not conducive to the surface protrusion of the smooth particle, and affects the over-machine property.
