Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for encapsulating an organic light-emitting device and an organic light-emitting device display device including an organic layer produced therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition for encapsulating an organic light-emitting device that reduces the plasma etching rate and the dielectric constant (dielectric constant, permittivity, ε) after curing, and an organic light-emitting device display device including an organic layer produced therefrom.
Background Art
[0002] When external moisture, oxygen, etc. penetrate into an organic light-emitting device, it can be easily damaged, its function can be lost, and its reliability can be reduced. Therefore, an organic light-emitting device must be encapsulated by a sealing layer including an organic layer formed of a composition for encapsulating an organic light-emitting device and an inorganic layer.
[0003] On the other hand, in an organic light-emitting device display device, in addition to the sealing layer, various display elements are additionally laminated on the upper and lower parts of the organic light-emitting device, respectively. However, various electricities, static electricity, or electromagnetic waves emitted from the display elements must affect the organic light-emitting device. Due to these various electricities, static electricity, or electromagnetic waves emitted from the display elements, the organic light-emitting device may malfunction or its function may be offset.
[0004] Therefore, in order to minimize the influence even when additional elements are laminated on the organic light-emitting device, a sealing layer with a low dielectric constant is required while having the basic function of encapsulating the organic light-emitting device.
[0005] The background art of the present invention is described in Patent Document 1 and the like.

Through this, the organic layer formed by photocuring the composition according to one embodiment of the present invention has a low etch rate with respect to plasma and excellent plasma resistance, so that the lifespan of the organic light-emitting element can be extended. Also, since the dielectric constant is low, by imparting insulating performance to the organic layer, the movement of electricity, static electricity, or electromagnetic waves from the outside of the organic layer to the organic light-emitting element is blocked, and it is possible to suppress the interference with the performance expression of the organic light-emitting element in the encapsulation layer.

[0047] Hereinafter, each component that may be included in the composition according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0048] [Compound of Chemical Formula 1] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a compound of the following Chemical Formula 1 as a photocurable monomer.

[0053] In Chemical Formula 1, when l is 0, that is, B0 means that B is not included in Chemical Formula 1; when l is 1, that is, B1 means that B is included in Chemical Formula 1. In Chemical Formula 1, when m is 0, that is, C0 means that C is not included in Chemical Formula 1; when m is 1, that is, C1 means that C is included in Chemical Formula 1. In Chemical Formula 1, when n is 0, that is, D0 means that D is not included in Chemical Formula 1; when n is 1, that is, D1 means that D is included in Chemical Formula 1.
[0054] Preferably, a and b are each an integer from 0 to 2, and a + b can be an integer from 1 to 4.
[0055] Preferably, A, B, C, and D can each independently be a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Preferably, E and F can each independently be hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0056] In one specific example, the compound of Chemical Formula 1 can include one or more of the compounds represented by the following Chemical Formula 1-1, the compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1-2, and the compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1-3:
[0057]
Chemical Structure
[0058] (In Chemical Formula 1-1, E, F, X, Y, a, and b are as defined in Chemical Formula 1 above)
[0059]
Chemical Structure
[0060] (In Chemical Formula 1-2, E, F, X, Y, a, and b are as defined in Chemical Formula 1 respectively, R3 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms)
[0061]
Chemical Structure
[0062] (In Chemical Formula 1-3, E, F, X, Y, a, and b are as defined in Chemical Formula 1 respectively, R4 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms).
[0063] The compound of Chemical Formula 1 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include adamantyl (meth)acrylate including isobornyl (meth)acrylate, 1-adamantyl (meth)acrylate, 2-adamantyl (meth)acrylate, etc., tricyclodecane dimethanol di(meth)acrylate, and dicyclopentanyl (meth)acrylate, and can include one or more thereof.
[0064] Since the compound of Chemical Formula 1 is included together with Component (B), (D), or Components (B), (C), (D), it is preferably included in a predetermined content with respect to these Components (B), (D), or these Components (B), (C), (D).
[0065] The content of Chemical Formula 1 is not particularly limited. In one specific example, the compound of Chemical Formula 1 can be contained in an amount of 20% to 75% by weight based on the solid content of the composition (assuming the solid content is 100% by weight). Within the above range, the plasma etching rate, which is an effect of the present invention, and the dielectric constant are further improved. Specifically, the compound of Chemical Formula 1, based on the solid content of the composition, can be, for example, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, or 75% by weight, and can also be, for example, contained in an amount of 20% to 70% by weight, 30% to 70% by weight, or 30% to 60% by weight.
[0066] The compound of Chemical Formula 1 may be one produced by a conventional method known to those skilled in the art, or a commercially available substance may be used.
[0067] [(B) Non-aromatic photocurable monomer] The non-aromatic photocurable monomer forms an organic layer by undergoing a curing reaction with component (A). The non-aromatic photocurable monomer is contained in the composition according to one embodiment of the present invention, and particularly, by being contained within an appropriate content range, it can help to lower the dielectric constant of the composition after curing according to one embodiment of the present invention by ensuring that component (A) is within the scope of the present invention. The non-aromatic photocurable monomer is different from the compound of Chemical Formula 1.
[0068] The content of the non-aromatic photocurable monomer is not particularly limited. In one specific example, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer is in the range of 20% to 75% by weight, based on the solid content of the composition (assuming the solid content is 100% by weight), for example, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, or 75% by weight. Also, for example, it can be contained in the range of 25% to 70% by weight or 25% to 65% by weight. Within these ranges, the photocuring rate of the composition becomes higher, the strength of the sealing layer becomes higher, and a more suitable value for the dielectric constant, which is an effect of the present invention, can be ensured.
[0069] The non-aromatic photocurable monomer means a monomer that has one or more photocurable functional groups but does not have an aromatic group. The non-aromatic photocurable monomer is different from the compound of Chemical Formula 1 above. As a preferred embodiment, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include a photocurable monomer having one or two (meth)acrylate groups. When the photocurable monomer having one or two (meth)acrylate groups is included together with Component (A) and Component (D), the realization of the effects of the present invention can be facilitated.
[0070] In one specific example, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can be a monofunctional or difunctional (meth)acrylate.
[0071] For example, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include one or more of a mono(meth)acrylate having a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 alkyl group and a di(meth)acrylate having a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 alkylene group. At this time, the number of carbon atoms in the alkylene group means only the number of carbon atoms in the alkylene group itself excluding the carbon atoms in the (meth)acrylate group. For example, in the case of a di(meth)acrylate having a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 alkylene group, the number of carbon atoms in the alkylene group means only the number of carbon atoms in the alkylene group itself excluding the carbon atoms in the di(meth)acrylate group.
[0072] For example, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can be represented by the following Chemical Formula 3:
[0073] [Chemical Formula]
[0074] (In the Chemical Formula 3, A is a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C30 alkylene group, Z1 and Z2 are each independently hydrogen or the following Chemical Formula 4, (at least one of Z1 and Z2 is the following Chemical Formula 4))
[0075] [Chemical Formula]
[0076] (In the Chemical Formula 4, * is the bonding site of the element, and R3 is hydrogen or a methyl group).
[0077] As a preferred embodiment, in Chemical Formula 3, A can be an unsubstituted or C6-C10 alkyl group-substituted C12-C20 alkylene group. Thus, by using a di(meth)acrylate having a long-chain alkylene group having a C12-C20 alkylene group, when combined with the compound of Chemical Formula 1, an effect of further lowering the dielectric constant can be obtained.
[0078] More specifically, the (meth)acrylate of Chemical Formula 3 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include tetradecyl (meth)acrylate, tetradecyl (meth)acrylate including 2-decyltetradecyl (meth)acrylate, decanediol di(meth)acrylate, undecyl (meth)acrylate, undecanediol di(meth)acrylate, dodecyl (meth)acrylate (lauryl (meth)acrylate), dodecanediol di(meth)acrylate, tetradecanediol di(meth)acrylate, eicosanol (meth)acrylate, and one or more of eicosanediol di(meth)acrylate.
[0079] In other specific examples, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer is not particularly limited. For example, in addition to the mono(meth)acrylate and di(meth)acrylate of the above chemical formula 3, as a trifunctional or higher functional (meth)acrylate, one or more of tri(meth)acrylate, tetra(meth)acrylate, penta(meth)acrylate, and hexa(meth)acrylate can be included. The tri(meth)acrylate is not particularly limited. For example, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, etc. can be mentioned. That is, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include tri(meth)acrylates of triols, tetraols, pentaols or hexaols having 3 to 20 carbon atoms as exemplified herein. The tri(meth)acrylate preferably includes the compounds exemplified above. The tetra(meth)acrylate is not particularly limited. For example, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, etc. can be mentioned. That is, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include tetra(meth)acrylates of tetraols, pentaols or hexaols having 4 to 20 carbon atoms as exemplified herein. The tetra(meth)acrylate preferably includes the compounds exemplified above. The penta(meth)acrylate is not particularly limited. For example, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate, etc. can be mentioned. That is, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include penta(meth)acrylates of pentaols or hexaols having 4 to 20 carbon atoms as exemplified herein. The penta(meth)acrylate preferably includes the compounds exemplified above. The hexa(meth)acrylate is not particularly limited. For example, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, etc. can be mentioned. That is, the non-aromatic photocurable monomer can include hexa(meth)acrylates of hexanols having 4 to 20 carbon atoms as exemplified herein. The hexa(meth)acrylate preferably includes the compounds exemplified above.
[0080] [(D) Initiator] The initiator can include, without limitation, ordinary photopolymerization initiators capable of performing a photocuring reaction. For example, the photopolymerization initiator can include triazine-based, acetophenone-based, benzophenone-based, thioxanthone-based, benzoin-based, phosphorus-based, oxime-based, or mixtures thereof.
[0081] The phosphorus-based initiator is not particularly limited. For example, it can be diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide, benzyl(diphenyl)phosphine oxide, bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide, or mixtures thereof. For example, when using a phosphorus-based initiator, in the composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, it can exhibit better initiation performance for long-wavelength UV. The initiator can be included alone or in a mixture of two or more.
[0082] The content of the initiator is not particularly limited. For example, the initiator can be included in an amount of 0.1% by weight to 5% by weight based on the solid content of the composition (assuming the solid content is 100% by weight). Within the above range, photopolymerization can occur sufficiently during exposure, and it is possible to further suppress the decrease in transmittance caused by the unreacted initiator remaining after photopolymerization.
[0083] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can further include (C) an aromatic photocurable monomer.
[0084] [(C) Aromatic photocurable monomer] Since the aromatic photocurable monomer is included together with components (A), (B), and (D), it is preferably included in a predetermined content with respect to these components (A), (B), and (D).
[0085] The content of the aromatic photocurable monomer is not particularly limited. In one specific example, the aromatic photocurable monomer may be contained in an amount of 1% to 40% by weight based on the solid content of the composition (assuming the solid content is 100% by weight). Within the above range, it may be easier to adjust the content with respect to the above-described component (A), and it can be more easily achieved by the plasma etching rate and the dielectric constant, which are the effects of the present invention. Specifically, the aromatic photocurable monomer is, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40% by weight based on the solid content of the composition, and also, for example, it may be contained in an amount of 5% to 40% by weight, 10% to 40% by weight, or 20% to 40% by weight.
[0086] The aromatic photocurable monomer means a monomer that essentially contains one or more aromatic groups and has one or more, preferably specifically 1 to 6, photocurable functional groups. The aromatic photocurable monomer is different from the compound of Chemical Formula 1.
[0087] In one embodiment, the aromatic photocurable monomer can include one or more of a photocurable monomer having one (meth)acrylate group (aromatic mono(meth)acrylate) and a photocurable monomer having two (meth)acrylate groups (aromatic di(meth)acrylate).
[0088] In one embodiment, the aromatic photocurable monomer can further contain silicon. When further containing silicon, since the viscosity is lower than when not containing silicon, it is advantageous for spraying during the inkjet process, and when combined with the compound of Chemical Formula 1, an effect can be obtained in which the dielectric constant is further lower than that of the aromatic photocurable monomer without silicon.

[0111] The aromatic di(meth)acrylate can be the one produced by the ordinary method or the commercially available product. For example, the aromatic di(meth)acrylate can be produced by reacting a siloxane compound having one or more silicon-linked aryl groups with a compound for extending the number of carbon atoms (e.g., allyl alcohol) and then reacting (meth)acryloyl chloride, but is not limited thereto. Or, for example, the silicon-based di(meth)acrylate which is an aromatic di(meth)acrylate can be produced by reacting a siloxane compound having one or more silicon-linked aryl groups with (meth)acryloyl chloride, but is not limited thereto.
[0112] In one specific example, among the compositions according to an embodiment of the present invention, the weight ratio of the content of the total monofunctional photocurable monomer (total content of the monofunctional photocurable monomer) to the content of the total photocurable monomer (total content of the curable monomer) is not particularly limited. For example, it can be 0.8 or less, for example, 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, or 0.8. Also, for example, it can be 0 to 0.8, 0 to 0.6, 0.55 to 0.8. Within these ranges, it may be easier to obtain effects such as ensuring curing due to the reduction in dielectric constant, the improvement in plasma etching rate, and the improvement in curing rate, which are the effects of the present invention.
[0113] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can be formed by mixing components (A), (B), and (D), or by additionally mixing component (C) therewith. For example, the composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can be formed as a solvent-free type that does not contain a solvent.
[0114] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention is a photocurable composition, and at a UV wavelength of 10 mW / cm 2 ~500 mW / cm 2 it can be photocured by irradiation for 1 second to 50 seconds to form a sealing layer.
[0115] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention may further contain ordinary additives known to those skilled in the art. The additives can include, but are not limited to, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, UV absorbers, etc.
[0116] The composition of the present invention can have a viscosity of 7 cps to 50 cps at 25 ± 2°C (23°C to 27°C). Within this range, film formation (e.g., vapor deposition) of the sealing composition can be made better.
[0117] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can have a photocuring rate of 85% or more, preferably 90% to 100%. Within these ranges, since the film strength of the organic layer formed of the composition is excellent, the lifespan of the device can be extended more. Through this, the cured film, that is, the organic layer, formed of the composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can have a pencil hardness of H or more, for example, H to 5H. Within the said range, since the film strength of the organic layer formed of the composition is excellent, the lifespan of the device can be extended more.
[0118] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used to seal an organic light-emitting device. Specifically, in a sealing structure in which an inorganic layer and an organic layer are formed in sequence, the composition can form the organic layer.
[0119] The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention is a member for an apparatus, particularly a member for a display device, and can also be used for sealing a member for an apparatus that can be decomposed or deteriorated by permeation of a gas or liquid in the surrounding environment (for example, oxygen and / or moisture and / or water vapor in the air) and a chemical substance used during processing into an electronic product. For example, the member for an apparatus may include, but is not limited to, a lighting device, a metal sensor pad, a microdisk laser, an electrochromic device, a photochromic device, a microelectromechanical system, a solar cell, an integrated circuit, a charge-coupled device, a light-emitting polymer, and the like.
[0120] Another aspect of the present invention relates to an organic light-emitting element display device. The organic light-emitting element display device according to an embodiment of the present invention can include an organic layer formed of the composition for sealing an organic light-emitting element according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the organic light-emitting element display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an organic light-emitting element and a barrier stack including an inorganic layer and an organic layer formed on the organic light-emitting element, and the organic layer can be formed of the composition for sealing an organic light-emitting element according to an embodiment of the present invention. As a result, the reliability of the organic light-emitting element display device can be improved.
[0121] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1, an organic light-emitting element display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the organic light-emitting element display device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0122] Referring to FIG. 1, the organic light-emitting element display device 100 includes a substrate 10, an organic light-emitting element 20 formed on the substrate 10, and a barrier stack 30 including an inorganic layer 31 and an organic layer 32 formed on the organic light-emitting element 20. The inorganic layer 31 is in contact with the organic light-emitting element 20, and the organic layer 32 can be formed of the composition for sealing an organic light-emitting element according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0123] The substrate 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate on which an organic light-emitting element can be formed. For example, it can be composed of a substance such as transparent glass, a plastic sheet, silicon, or a metal substrate.
[0124] The organic light-emitting element 20 is one commonly used in an organic light-emitting element display device. Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, it includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The organic light-emitting layer may be formed by sequentially laminating a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer, but is not limited thereto.
[0125] The barrier stack 30 includes an organic layer and an inorganic layer. Since the components constituting the organic layer and the inorganic layer are different from each other, they can each exhibit an organic light-emitting element encapsulation function.
[0126] Due to the different components from the organic layer, the inorganic layer can complement the effect of the organic layer. For example, the inorganic layer can be a metal, a non-metal, an intermetallic compound or alloy, a non-intermetallic compound or alloy, an oxide of a metal or non-metal, a fluoride of a metal or non-metal, a nitride of a metal or non-metal, a carbide of a metal or non-metal, an oxynitride of a metal or non-metal, a boride of a metal or non-metal, an oxyboride of a metal or non-metal, a silicide of a metal or non-metal, or a mixture thereof. The metal or non-metal can be silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), antimony (Sb), indium (In), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), bismuth (Bi), a transition metal, a lanthanide metal, etc., but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the inorganic layer can be silicon oxide (SiO x ), silicon nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxynitride (SiO x N y ), ZnSe, ZnO, Sb2O3, Al2O3 including AlO x in it, In2O3, SnO2.
[0127] The inorganic layer can be deposited by a plasma process, a vacuum process, such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, plasma chemical vapor deposition, evaporation, sublimation, electron cyclotron resonance-plasma vapor deposition, and combinations thereof.
[0128] When forming films alternately with the inorganic layer (for example, during vapor deposition), the organic layer can ensure the smoothing property of the inorganic layer and prevent defects in the inorganic layer from propagating to other inorganic layers.
[0129] The organic layer can be formed by a combination of coating, vapor deposition, curing, etc. of the composition for encapsulating an organic light-emitting element according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the composition for encapsulating an organic light-emitting element is coated with a thickness of 1 μm to 50 μm, and 2 ~500 mW / cm 2 and can be cured by irradiating light (preferably ultraviolet light (UV)) for 1 second to 50 seconds.
[0130] The barrier stack includes an organic layer and an inorganic layer, but the total number of the organic layer and the inorganic layer is not particularly limited. The total number of the organic layer and the inorganic layer can be changed according to the level of permeation resistance to oxygen and / or moisture and / or water vapor and / or chemical substances. For example, the total number of the organic layer and the inorganic layer can be 10 layers or less, for example, 2 to 7 layers, and as a specific example, it can be formed of 7 layers in the order of inorganic layer / organic layer / inorganic layer / organic layer / inorganic layer / organic layer / inorganic layer.
[0131] In the barrier stack, the organic layer and the inorganic layer can be alternately formed into films (for example, by vapor deposition). This is due to the effect on the organic layer generated by the physical properties of the aforementioned composition. Thereby, the organic layer and the inorganic layer can complement or enhance the sealing effect on the device.
[0132] Hereinafter, an organic light-emitting element display device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting element display device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0133] Referring to FIG. 2, the organic light-emitting device display 200 includes a substrate 10, an organic light-emitting device 20 formed on the substrate 10, and a barrier stack 30 including an inorganic layer 31 and an organic layer 32 formed on the organic light-emitting device 20. The inorganic layer 31 seals an internal space 40 in which the organic light-emitting device 20 is accommodated, and the organic layer 32 can be formed of the composition for sealing an organic light-emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The organic light-emitting device display according to this embodiment is substantially the same as the organic light-emitting device display according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, except that the inorganic layer does not contact the organic light-emitting device.
