Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for forming a release layer and a release layer. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, electronic devices have been required to be not only thin and lightweight, but also flexible. Therefore, there is a demand for lightweight, flexible plastic substrates to replace conventional glass substrates, which are heavy, fragile, and inflexible.
[0003] In particular, the development of active-matrix full-color TFT display panels using lightweight, flexible plastic substrates (hereinafter also referred to as resin substrates) is required for next-generation displays. Furthermore, for touch panel displays, materials that can accommodate flexibility, such as transparent electrodes and resin substrates used in combination with the display panel, are being developed. As for transparent electrodes, alternative transparent electrode materials have been proposed, such as PEDOT and other bendable transparent conductive polymers, metal nanowires, and mixtures thereof, in addition to the conventionally used ITO (Patent Documents 1-4).
[0004] On the other hand, the substrate for touch panel films has also changed from glass to sheets made of plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide, cycloolefin, and acrylic, and transparent flexible touchscreen panels with flexibility have been developed (Patent Documents 5-7).
[0005] Generally, flexible touchscreen panels are produced by creating a release (adhesive) layer on a support substrate such as a glass substrate, and then fabricating the device on top of it and peeling it off, in order to ensure stable production and peeling (Patent Document 8). This release layer must not be peeled off from the support substrate during the process, but a low peeling force is required when peeling it off. Furthermore, in order to improve productivity, the release layer needs to be stored for a long period of time in film form after film formation. For this reason, stability after film formation is required for the release layer.

Furthermore, (E) solvent may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more types.
[0092] [Other additives] The release layer forming composition of the present invention may optionally contain a surfactant.

Furthermore, surfactants may be used individually or in combination of two or more types.
[0096] [Preparation of composition for forming a release layer] The method for preparing the release layer-forming composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, one method is to mix components (B), (C), (D), and (E) in predetermined proportions into a solution of component (A) dissolved in a solvent to obtain a homogeneous solution. The solvent used to dissolve component (A) may be the same solvent as that used for component (E) or a different solvent. Furthermore, if other additives are used, they can be added and mixed at any stage of composition preparation.
[0097] In preparing the release layer-forming composition of the present invention, the solution of the polymer obtained by the polymerization reaction in the solvent may be used as is. For example, component (B), and further components (C), (D), (E), etc., can be added to the polymerization reaction solution used to produce component (A) to obtain a homogeneous solution. In this case, a solvent may be added to adjust the concentration, and this solvent may be the same as the solvent used to produce component (A) or a different solvent.
[0098] Furthermore, it is preferable to filter the prepared release layer-forming composition solution using a filter with a pore size of approximately 0.2 μm before use.
[0099] The viscosity of the release layer forming composition of the present invention is set appropriately considering the thickness of the release layer to be produced, etc., but when the aim is to obtain a film with a thickness of about 0.01 to 5 μm with good reproducibility, a viscosity of about 1 to 5,000 mPa·s at 25°C is preferred, and a viscosity of about 1 to 2,000 mPa·s is more preferred. The viscosity in this invention can be measured using a commercially available viscometer for measuring the viscosity of liquids, for example, by referring to the procedure described in JIS K7117-2, under conditions where the composition is at a temperature of 25°C. Preferably, a cone-plate type rotational viscometer is used, and it is also preferable to use a standard cone rotor of 1°34'×R24 with the same type of viscometer, and to measure under conditions where the composition is at a temperature of 25°C. An example of such a rotational viscometer is the TVE-25L manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.
[0100] [Exfoliation layer] By applying the release layer-forming composition of the present invention onto a substrate and then firing it at 180 to 250°C, a release layer having excellent adhesion to the substrate and appropriate adhesion and release properties to the resin substrate can be obtained. In this case, the heating time during firing cannot be specified in general terms as it varies depending on the heating temperature, but it is usually between 1 minute and 5 hours. Furthermore, the firing temperature may include a process at a temperature lower than the above range, as long as the maximum temperature remains within that range.
[0101] A preferred example of the heating method in the present invention is to heat at 50-150°C for 1 minute to 1 hour, and then continue to increase the heating temperature to 180-250°C for 5 minutes to 4 hours. A particularly preferred example of the heating method is to heat at 50-150°C for 1 minute to 1 hour, and then heat at 200-250°C for 5 minutes to 2 hours. Furthermore, another example of a more preferred heating method is to heat at 50-150°C for 1 to 30 minutes, and then heat at 200-250°C for 5 minutes to 1 hour.
[0102] When forming the release layer of the present invention on a substrate, the release layer may be formed on a part of the substrate's surface or on the entire surface. Examples of forming the release layer on a part of the substrate's surface include forming the release layer only in a predetermined area of the substrate's surface, and forming the release layer in a pattern such as a dot pattern or a line-and-space pattern on the entire substrate surface. In this invention, "substrate" refers to a material on which the release layer-forming composition of the present invention is applied, and which is used in the manufacture of flexible electronic devices and the like.
[0103] Examples of substrates include glass, metal (such as silicon wafers), and slate, but glass is particularly preferred because the release layer obtained from the release layer forming composition of the present invention has sufficient adhesion to it. The substrate surface may be composed of a single material or of two or more materials. Examples of the substrate surface being composed of two or more materials include a configuration in which a certain area of the substrate surface is composed of one material and the remaining surface is composed of other materials, and a configuration in which a patterned material such as a dot pattern or a line and space pattern is present in the other materials across the entire substrate surface.
[0104] The method for applying the release layer-forming composition is not particularly limited, but examples include cast coating, spin coating, blade coating, dip coating, roll coating, bar coating, die coating, inkjet, and printing methods (relief printing, intaglio printing, planographic printing, screen printing, etc.).
[0105] Examples of heating equipment include hot plates and ovens. The heating atmosphere may be in the presence of air or an inert gas, and may be under normal pressure or reduced pressure.
[0106] The thickness of the release layer is usually about 0.01 to 50 μm, but from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferably about 0.01 to 20 μm, more preferably about 0.01 to 5 μm, and the desired thickness is achieved by adjusting the thickness of the coating film before heating.
[0107] The release layer of the present invention has excellent adhesion to a substrate, particularly a glass substrate, as well as appropriate adhesion and release properties to a resin substrate. For this reason, the release layer of the present invention can be suitably used in the manufacturing process of flexible electronic devices to release the resin substrate from the substrate, along with circuits and other elements formed on the resin substrate, without damaging the resin substrate of the device.
[0108] [Method for manufacturing resin substrates] An example of a method for manufacturing a flexible electronic device using the release layer of the present invention will be described. First, a release layer is formed on a glass substrate using the release layer forming composition of the present invention by the method described above. A resin substrate forming solution for forming a resin substrate is applied onto this release layer, and the resulting coating is fired to form a resin substrate fixed to the glass substrate via the release layer of the present invention.
[0109] The firing temperature of the coating film is set appropriately according to the type of resin, etc., but in the present invention, it is preferable to set the maximum firing temperature to 200 to 250°C, more preferably to 210 to 250°C, and even more preferably to 220 to 240°C. By setting the maximum firing temperature during resin substrate production within this range, the adhesion between the release layer (which is the base material) and the substrate, as well as the appropriate adhesion and release properties between the release layer and the resin substrate, can be further improved. In this case as well, as long as the maximum temperature falls within the above range, a firing step at a lower temperature may be included.
[0110] It is preferable that the resin substrate be formed with an area larger than the area of the release layer, so as to completely cover the release layer. Examples of resin substrates include those made of acrylic polymer and those made of cycloolefin polymer, with a light transmittance of 80% or more at a wavelength of 400 nm being preferred. The method for forming the resin substrate can be the standard method.
[0111] Next, a desired circuit is formed on the resin substrate fixed to the substrate via the release layer of the present invention, and then, for example, the resin substrate is cut along the release layer, and the resin substrate is peeled off from the release layer together with the circuit, thereby separating the resin substrate from the substrate. At this time, a part of the substrate may be cut together with the release layer. Using the release layer of the present invention, a resin substrate can be peeled from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.25 N / 25 mm or less. In particular, when (D) polymer additive is polymer additive D2 or polymer additive D3, the resin substrate can be peeled from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.15 N / 25 mm or less. Furthermore, when (D) polymer additive is polymer additive D1, the resin substrate can be peeled from the release layer with a peeling force of 0.1 N / 25 mm or less. [Examples]

The following tests were performed on the same glass substrate.
[0139] (1) Evaluation of the peelability between the release layer and the glass substrate The release layer on the glass substrate with the release layer obtained in Examples 2-1 to 2-8 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2 was cross-cut (at 2 mm intervals vertically and horizontally, the same applies hereafter) to form 25 grids. That is, this cross-cutting created 25 grids of 2 mm squares. Adhesive tape was applied to the 25 Muscat grape section, and the tape was removed. The degree of peeling was evaluated based on the following criteria.
