Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of circuit boards, and specifically relates to a high-reflectivity Mini LED PCB preparation process. Background Art
[0002] Mini LEDs (miniature light-emitting diodes) are small and feature custom-cut designs. They can also be used with flexible substrates to create highly curved backlights. They employ local dimming for improved color quality. They are suitable for large commercial displays, as well as televisions, automotive panels, and gaming laptops. Therefore, Mini LEDs require high reflectivity.
[0003] The main factor affecting the surface reflectivity of Mini LED printed circuit boards is the white solder mask ink layer. Currently, there are two main problems with white solder mask ink: 1. Titanium dioxide is a commonly used pigment in white solder mask ink. Due to its small particle size, it is easy to agglomerate and has poor compatibility with organic resins, resulting in poor dispersibility. Although conventional dispersants can improve the dispersibility of titanium dioxide, different dispersants have different effects on the dispersion of titanium dioxide, requiring a tedious screening process and controlling the adaptability of the dispersant to the system, resulting in a complicated process. In addition, the dispersant is also likely to affect the surface properties of titanium dioxide, thereby affecting the performance of titanium dioxide.
[0004] 2. Currently, in order to produce high-reflectivity Mini LED PCBs, it is usually necessary to increase the amount of white pigment titanium dioxide added to the solder resist ink. When the titanium dioxide content is high, the mechanical anchoring ability of the resin is easily reduced, resulting in reduced ink adhesion.
[0005] In summary, how to provide a high-reflectivity Mini LED PCB preparation process by improving the dispersibility of titanium dioxide in white solder mask ink and reducing the impact of high titanium dioxide content on ink adhesion is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a high-reflectivity Mini LED PCB preparation process. Titanium dioxide is coated with a photosensitive resin to obtain coated titanium dioxide. The coated titanium dioxide has good compatibility with the ink system and can improve the dispersibility of titanium dioxide in the ink without adding a dispersant. The method is simple and has no adverse effects. Moreover, the present invention introduces a cationic photopolymerization reaction on the surface of the coated titanium dioxide and the PCB substrate, thereby reducing the impact of the incorporation of titanium dioxide pigment on the mechanical anchoring ability of the ink, thereby improving the adhesion of the ink to the PCB substrate.

[0008] The raw materials for preparing the white solder resist ink include 30-60 parts of photosensitive resin, 20-50 parts of titanium dioxide (0.01-10 μm), 2-10 parts of photoinitiator, 10-30 parts of double bond-containing monomer and 0-20 parts of auxiliary agent.

[0018] The preparation method of the white ink comprises the following steps: The photosensitive resin was divided into the first photosensitive resin and the second photosensitive resin in a mass ratio of 1: (10-15). The first photosensitive resin, photoinitiator A and 1-2 functional monomer were mixed evenly and sprayed evenly on the surface of titanium dioxide. Then, it was baked at 70-80℃ for 5-10 minutes and pre-exposed in a 395nm exposure machine with an exposure parameter of 50-200 mj / cm 2 , to obtain coated titanium dioxide, mix the coated titanium dioxide with the second portion of photosensitive resin, photoinitiator B, 3-6 functional (double bond) monomer and additives evenly.
[0019] Preferably, the photoinitiator A further comprises a cationic photoinitiator 1, and the mass ratio of the 380-420 nm free radical photoinitiator to the cationic photoinitiator 1 is 1:(0.5-1).
[0020] Preferably, the solder mask pre-treatment further comprises: spraying the cationic photoinitiator 2 solution evenly onto the surface of the PCB substrate, with the spraying amount of the cationic photoinitiator 2 being 0.8-3 g / m 2 , the concentration of cationic photoinitiator 2 solution is 0.5-20%.
[0021] Preferably, the cationic photoinitiator 1 and the cationic photoinitiator 2 are any one or more of diaryl iodonium salts, triaryl sulfonium salts (triaryl hexafluorophosphate sulfonium salts), and alkyl sulfonium salts.
[0022] The present invention also provides a development process in the high-reflectivity Mini LED PCB preparation process, wherein the developer used includes 0.8-1.8 parts of sodium carbonate and 100-150 parts of water.
[0023] Preferably, the developer further comprises 1-4 parts of an amino compound and 1-6 parts of propylene carbonate.
[0024] Preferably, the amino compound is any one or more of nicotinamide ethyl ester, choline acetate, ethanolamine, ammonia water, and triethylamine.
[0025] More preferably, the amino compound comprises 0.4-1 parts of choline acetate and 0.6-3 parts of nicotinamide ethyl ester.
[0026] Technical effects of the present invention: 1. When preparing white solder resist ink, the present invention coats titanium dioxide with a photosensitive resin and then uses low-energy UV for pre-exposure curing (initial setting), thereby producing coated titanium dioxide, which has good compatibility with the ink system and can improve the dispersibility of titanium dioxide in the ink without adding a dispersant. The method is simple and has no adverse effects.
[0027] 2. The white solder resist ink prepared by the present invention is prone to the phenomenon that the photosensitive resin in the coated titanium dioxide undergoes pre-exposure during the subsequent ink exposure, and the photosensitive resin in the coated titanium dioxide and the photosensitive resin in the main body of the ink are cured asynchronously, which affects the dispersion of the titanium dioxide in the ink and the incomplete curing of the resin, and is also prone to stratification due to the decrease in interfacial bonding strength.
[0028] Therefore, the present invention controls the curing speed of the photosensitive resin in the coated titanium dioxide and the photosensitive resin in the ink body by controlling the composition of the photoinitiator and the monomer, wherein the photoinitiator includes photoinitiator A (absorption wavelength range is 380-420nm) and photoinitiator B (absorption wavelength range is 320-370nm), and the monomer includes 1-2 functional monomers and 3-6 functional monomers. Photoinitiator A and 1-2 functional monomers are used in the coated titanium dioxide, and photoinitiator B and 3-6 functional monomers are used in the ink body. This can comprehensively adjust the resin cross-linking speed and achieve synergistic optimization of highly dispersed titanium dioxide and the ink system.
[0029] 3. The 1-2 functional monomers used in the coated titanium dioxide of the present invention are preferably trimethyl 4-phosphobutenoate and glycidyl methacrylate, which can not only improve the adhesion of the surface coating layer on the surface of the titanium dioxide, making the surface coating layer of the titanium dioxide not easy to fall off, and improving the coating stability of the coated titanium dioxide, but also form a rough coating layer on the surface of the titanium dioxide during pre-curing, promote the bite of the rough coated titanium dioxide and the ink system, improve the regional uniformity of the ink layer, and thus improve the reflectivity uniformity.
[0030] 4. The photoinitiator A in the coated titanium dioxide of the present invention also includes a cationic photoinitiator 1, and the pre-solder mask treatment also includes spraying a cationic photoinitiator 2 on the surface of the PCB substrate, so that cationic photopolymerization reactions occur on both the coated titanium dioxide and the PCB substrate surfaces. During the reaction, positive ion active centers are generated on the surface of the titanium dioxide and the substrate surface. As a result, there is a certain repulsive force between the coated titanium dioxide and the surface of the PCB substrate, which reduces the binding between the coated titanium dioxide and the surface of the PCB substrate, and reduces the effect of the incorporation of titanium dioxide pigment on the mechanical anchoring ability of the ink, thereby improving the adhesion of the ink to the PCB substrate.
[0031] 5. Since the coated titanium dioxide used in the white ink of the present invention is a pre-cured product, no cationic photopolymerization reaction occurs in the non-exposed area and there is no repulsive force, so that part of the coated titanium dioxide is bound to the surface of the PCB substrate, which increases the difficulty of development. In addition, there is also active cationic photoinitiator 2 on the surface of the substrate in the unexposed area. Under visible light irradiation, the pre-cured product (coated titanium dioxide) is likely to undergo cationic photopolymerization reaction in the presence of cationic photoinitiator 2, further increasing the difficulty of development. Ordinary developer (sodium carbonate) is likely to cause unclean development.
[0032] Therefore, the present invention uses a developer with a specific composition, using an amino compound as an auxiliary sodium carbonate, to effectively remove ink from unexposed areas. Furthermore, the developer, which uses a mixed solvent of acrylic carbonate and water, has a good solubility effect on both the ink and the cationic photoinitiator 2, significantly improving the development effect. The amino compound is preferably choline acetate and nicotinamide ethyl ester, which can quickly reduce the activity of the cationic photoinitiator 2 and increase the development speed.

[0112] 1. PCB board reflectivity test 1. Average reflectivity test The reflectivity of the PCB boards after baking in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-9 was tested. The number of samples was five, and the measured average reflectivity results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0113] Table 1 As shown in Table 1, the reflectivity of the Mini LED PCBs obtained using the processes of Examples 1-10 of the present invention ranges from 88.52% to 93.52%, resulting in high-reflectivity Mini LED PCBs. Specifically, the reflectivity of the Mini LED PCBs obtained using the processes of Examples 1-2 and 7-10 ranges from 92.04% to 93.52%, demonstrating relatively high reflectivity.
[0114] Compared with Examples 3-6, the 1-2 functional monomers in the white solder resist inks of Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention include trimethyl 4-phosphobutenoate and glycidyl methacrylate, and the reflectivity of the PCB board is further improved.
[0115] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1, which used a conventional formula and method to prepare white solder mask ink, and Comparative Example 2, which used the formula and method of Example 1, produced white solder mask ink. The results showed a significant decrease in the reflectivity of the PCB. Comparative Examples 3-7 varied the composition of the photoinitiator and double-bond-containing monomer, and Comparative Examples 8-9 varied the exposure method of the coated titanium dioxide. All of these results resulted in a decrease in the reflectivity of the PCB.
[0116] 2. Reflectivity of different areas of PCB board The reflectivity of the PCB boards baked after Examples 1 and 3-8 was tested. Five different areas (test points) of the same PCB board were randomly selected for reflectivity testing. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0117] Table 2 As shown in Table 2, compared with Examples 3-6, the reflectivity deviations of different regions of the PCBs produced in Examples 1, 7, and 8 of the present invention are smaller, indicating better reflectivity uniformity. This indicates that controlling the composition of the 1-2 functional monomers in the white solder mask ink can control the reflectivity uniformity of the PCB.
[0118] 2. Curing degree of different solder mask ink areas on PCB board Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to test the curing degree of the exposed PCB boards of Examples 1 and 8 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 3-9, and to test the double bond conversion rates in different ink areas. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0119] Table 3 As shown in Table 3, compared with Comparative Examples 3-9, the double bond conversion rates of different regions of the PCB board after exposure in Examples 1 and 8 of the present invention showed relatively small deviations, indicating good curing uniformity. This indicates that controlling the composition of the photoinitiator and double bond-containing monomer in the white solder mask ink can control the ink's curing effect.
[0120] 3. Effect test of the coated titanium dioxide of the present invention 1. Dispersibility of white solder resist ink White solder resist inks were prepared according to the methods of Examples 1, 8-10 and Comparative Examples 1-9 of the present invention. The dispersion of the inks was observed after being stored for different periods of time. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0121] Table 4 As shown in Table 4, the white solder resist inks prepared in Examples 1, 8-10 of the present invention have good dispersion stability. Compared with Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-9 changed the raw materials and preparation methods of the white solder resist inks, resulting in poor dispersibility of the inks.
[0122] 2. The bonding strength of the coating layer of coated titanium dioxide Coated titanium dioxide was prepared according to the methods of Examples 1 and 3-8 of the present invention. The coated titanium dioxide was placed in a photosensitive resin (epoxy acrylic resin) and stirred at a certain speed for 30 minutes. The shedding of the coating layer on the surface of the titanium dioxide was observed. The results are shown in Table 5.
[0123] Table 5 The results in Table 5 show that compared with Examples 3-6, the surface coatings of the coated titanium dioxide prepared in Examples 1, 7, and 8 of the present invention showed no significant detachment, indicating strong adhesion between the coating and the titanium dioxide. This suggests that controlling the composition of the 1-2 functional monomers in the white solder mask ink can control the adhesion between the coating and the titanium dioxide.
[0124] 4. Adhesion test of solder mask ink on PCB board The adhesion of the white solder resist inks prepared in Examples 1, 7-10, and Comparative Examples 10-13 was tested using a grid knife. The results are shown in Table 6.
[0125] Among them, level 0: the edge of the cut is completely smooth, and there is no peeling on the edge of the lattice.
[0126] Level 1: There is small peeling at the intersection of the cuts, and the actual damage in the grid area is ≤5%.
[0127] Level 2: The edges and / or intersections of the incision are peeled off, and the area is greater than 5% to 15%.
[0128] Level 3: There is partial peeling or large-scale peeling along the edge of the cut, or part of the grid is peeled off. The peeling area exceeds 15%~35%.
[0129] Level 4: Large pieces of the cut edge peel off / or some squares are partially or completely peeled off, and the area is greater than 35% of the cross-cut area. 65%.
[0130] Level 5: There are pieces of paint peeling off at the edges and intersections of the lines, and the total peeling area is greater than 65%.
[0131] Table 6 It can be seen from Table 6 that, based on Example 1, Examples 7-10 introduced cationic photopolymerization reactions on the surfaces of the coated titanium dioxide and the PCB substrate, thereby improving the adhesion of the white solder resist ink.
[0132] Compared with Example 8, Comparative Examples 10-13 changed the addition of cationic photoinitiator 1 and cationic photoinitiator 2, resulting in reduced adhesion of the ink.
[0133] 5. Development effect Development was carried out according to the processes of Examples 1, 7-13 and Comparative Examples 14-15 of the present invention, and the development conditions were observed. The results are shown in Table 7.
[0134] Table 7 As shown in Table 7, the conventional developer (sodium carbonate aqueous solution) used in Example 7 produced a clear image without burrs or residue, but the development time was relatively long, requiring 75 seconds. The introduction of cationic photopolymerization into the white solder mask ink in Example 7 further increased the development difficulty, resulting in poor development quality and a poor development speed (89 seconds).
[0135] Compared with Example 7, Examples 8-12, after developing with a developer containing an amino compound and propylene carbonate, showed significantly improved development effects, with clear images, no burrs or residues, and a development speed of 45-65 seconds. Among them, Examples 8-10 had a relatively high development speed of 45-48 seconds.
[0136] Compared with Example 8, Comparative Examples 14-15 changed the composition of the developer, resulting in poorer developing effect and developing speed.
[0137] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
