Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a coating composition containing a silsesquioxane polymer, a flexible display film including a coating coated with the above coating composition, and a display panel. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the display market has been rapidly shifting from flat displays to flexible displays such as foldable and rollable ones. The transformation of flexible displays is rapidly advancing towards thinner, more flexible, and larger-sized display films, and recently related products have become a reality. In particular, in order to ensure the flexibility of the display, the thick glass material applied to the outermost layer is being replaced by thin film glass or plastic materials. Although thin film glass and plastic materials can increase the flexibility of the display, their surface physical properties are very fragile. Therefore, to overcome the surface physical property problems, the importance of coating materials has become increasingly prominent.

[0003] For the above reasons, there is currently an active research and development on coating materials that can meet the flexibility requirements of flexible displays and improve the surface physical properties to protect the surface of the display panel. The properties required for the outermost layer coating material of a flexible display include adhesion to the substrate, optical properties, flexibility, elongation, and film strength.

[0004] In Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0122656, it is described that a coating is formed on an optical polyimide film by coating a mixture containing a silicon nitride compound, a thiol compound, a polyfunctional polyurethane (meth)acrylate containing cyclohexyl, a photoinitiator, inorganic nanoparticles, and a solvent, thereby improving the curling characteristics, hardness, and flexibility of the substrate. However, the above patent only describes the formation of a coating film by UV curing and does not describe the dispersion stability of the inorganic particles and the elongation after coating. Therefore, there may be problems such as poor stability of the composition, elongation after coating, and bending durability.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a coating composition that can provide a coating having excellent elongation and bending durability while having optical properties and surface physical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0145] [Experimental Example]

[0146] For the final products obtained from the above Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, measure the adhesion, pencil hardness, transmittance, haze, bending properties, and cracking strain respectively. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0147] - Adhesion evaluation:

[0148] According to JIS K5600-5-6 standard, use a cutting knife to cut into a grid pattern at 1 mm intervals to form 100 small grids. After sticking on the tape, tear it off in the 90° direction, and visually confirm whether the coating adheres to the tape and peels off from the substrate. Mark with the number of non-peeled ones out of 100 (e.g., mark as "number of non-peeled ones / 100", if all 100 are peeled off, mark as 100 / 100).

[0149] - Pencil hardness:

[0150] Evaluate according to JIS K5600-5-4 standard under a load of 750 g. The pencils used are Mitsubishi products. Each pencil hardness grade is tested 5 times. If there are more than 2 scratches, it is judged as defective. Mark in the form of "measured hardness / number of times without scratches / test times".

[0151] - Transmittance and haze:

[0152] Measure according to ISO 14782 standard using the COH-400 equipment of Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd. Each sample is measured 5 times and the average value is taken.

[0153] - Bending performance evaluation:

[0154] Use a bending tester manufactured by Cobotech (South Korea) to repeatedly bend the sample with a 1R value. Observe whether there are cracks every 1000 times within 10,000 times, and every 50,000 times above 10,000 times. If the sample is damaged or cracked, stop the measurement and record the measurement times.

[0155] - Cracking strain:

[0156] Install the prepared film in the universal testing machine of Instron Corporation, stretch it at a speed of 1 mm / min, measure the length of elongation when cracks occur, convert it into a percentage and record it.

[0157] Table 1

[0158]

[0159]

[0160] As can be seen from Table 1 above, compared with the case of using silsesquioxane alone (Comparative Example 1), as shown in the examples of the present invention, when used in combination with a linear polymer, the bending properties and cracking strain are improved. In addition, from Example 1 (ratio 7:3) and Example 2 (ratio 9:1), it can be confirmed that the higher the proportion of the linear polymer in the silsesquioxane polymer and the linear polymer, the more excellent the bending properties and cracking strain. However, as shown in Example 7 (ratio 5:5), when the proportion of the linear polymer is too high, physical properties such as hardness, transmittance, and haze may decrease. In addition, there is a difference between Example 1 and Example 3 in whether the linear polymer used has a compatible functional group. When using a linear polymer with a compatible functional group under the same conditions, the bending properties and cracking strain are further improved.

[0161] In addition, as can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 to 5, even when other polymers are mixed with silsesquioxane, in the case of mixing a non-linear polymer (Comparative Example 2), or in the case of mixing polymethyl methacrylate that does not have reactive functional groups and compatible functional groups at the same time (Comparative Example 3), or in the case of using a cage-structured silsesquioxane (Comparative Examples 4 and 5), it will instead cause a serious decline in all physical properties compared with the case of using silsesquioxane alone (Comparative Example 1).

[0162] Although the above has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention can be variously modified and changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the appended claims.
