Description
[Technical Field] 【0001】 Claims of the benefit of prior applications This application claims the benefit of the specification of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 978,579, filed February 19, 2020, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. 【0002】 This disclosure relates to novel polymer compounds. This disclosure further relates to methods for preparing such polymer compounds and to electronic devices having at least one layer containing these materials. [Background technology] 【0003】 Materials used in electronics applications often have stringent requirements regarding their structural, optical, thermal, electronic, and other properties. As the number of commercial electronics applications continues to grow, the breadth and specificity of required properties necessitates innovation in materials with novel and / or improved properties. Polyimides refer to a category of polymer compounds that have been widely used in a variety of electronics applications. If they possess the appropriate properties, they can function as flexible substitutes for glass in electronic display devices. These materials can function as components in liquid crystal displays ("LCDs"), where moderate power consumption, light weight, and planar layers are crucial properties for effective practicality. Other uses in electronic display devices where such parameters are important include device substrates, substrates for color filter sheets, cover films, and touchscreen panels. 【0004】 Some of these components are also important in the construction and operation of organic electronic devices having organic light-emitting diodes ("OLEDs"). OLEDs are promising for numerous display applications due to their high power conversion efficiency and broad end-user applicability. They are increasingly used in mobile phones, tablet devices, handheld / laptop computers, and other commercial products. These applications require displays that offer large amounts of information, full color, and fast video response times, in addition to low power consumption. 【0005】 Polyimide films generally possess sufficient thermal stability, a high glass transition temperature, and mechanical toughness suitable for such applications. Furthermore, since polyimide generally does not develop a cloudy value when subjected to repeated bending, it is often preferred over other transparent substrates such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) in flexible display applications. Therefore, there is a continuing need for polymer materials suitable for use in electronic devices.

Method for preparing polyimide film Generally, polyimide films can be prepared from polyimide precursors by chemical or thermal conversion. In some embodiments, the film is prepared from a corresponding polyamic acid solution by a chemical or thermal conversion process. The polyimide films disclosed herein are prepared by a thermal conversion process, particularly when used as a flexible substitute for glass in electronic devices. 【0424】 Generally, polyimide films can be prepared from the corresponding polyamic acid solution by chemical or thermal conversion processes. The polyimide films disclosed herein, particularly when used as flexible substitutes for glass in electronic devices, are prepared by thermal conversion or modified thermal conversion processes, rather than by chemical conversion processes. 【0425】 The chemical conversion process is described in (Patent Document 1) and (Patent Document 2), which are incorporated in their entirety by reference. In such a process, conversion chemicals are added to a polyamic acid solution. Conversion chemicals found useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, (i) one or more dehydrating agents, such as fatty acid anhydrides (e.g., acetic anhydride) and acid anhydrides; and (ii) one or more catalysts, such as aliphatic tertiary amines (e.g., triethylamine), tertiary amines (e.g., dimethylaniline) and heterocyclic tertiary amines (e.g., pyridine, picoline, isoquinoline). The anhydride used to dehydrate the material is typically used in a slightly molar excess of the amount of amide acid groups present in the polyamic acid solution. The amount of acetic anhydride used is typically about 2.0 to 3.0 moles per equivalent of polyamic acid. Generally, an equivalent amount of tertiary amine catalyst is used. 【0426】 The thermal conversion process may or may not use a conversion chemical (i.e., a catalyst) to convert the polyamic acid cast solution to polyimide. When a conversion chemical is used, the process may be considered a modified thermal conversion process. In both types of thermal conversion processes, only thermal energy is used to heat the film for both drying the solvent film and carrying out the imidation reaction. Generally, thermal conversion processes with or without a conversion catalyst are used to prepare the polyimide films disclosed herein. 【0427】 Specific method parameters are selected in advance, taking into account that film composition is not the only factor producing the properties of interest. Rather, the curing temperature and temperature gradient profile also play an important role in achieving the most desired properties for the intended use disclosed herein. The polyamic acid must be imidized at the highest temperature, or higher than, the temperature of any subsequent processing step (e.g., welding of inorganic or other layers required to produce a functional display), but lower than the temperature at which significant thermal decomposition / discoloration of the polyimide occurs. It should also be noted that an inert atmosphere is generally preferred when particularly high processing temperatures are used for imidization. 【0428】 For the polyamic acids / polyimides disclosed herein, temperatures of 300°C to 320°C are typically used when subsequent processing temperatures exceeding 300°C are required. Selecting the appropriate curing temperature allows for a well-cured polyimide that achieves the best balance of thermal and mechanical properties. Due to these extremely high temperatures, an inert atmosphere is required. Typically, an oxygen level of less than 100 ppm in the oven must be used. Extremely low oxygen levels allow for the use of the highest curing temperatures without significant decomposition / discoloration of the polymer. Catalysts accelerating the imidization process are effective in achieving higher levels of imidization at curing temperatures of approximately 200°C to 300°C. This technique allows for flexible devices to utilize the T of polyimide. g If prepared using a curing temperature below a certain limit, it may be used optionally. 【0429】 The amount of time spent in each potential curing step is an even more important process consideration. Generally, the time used for curing at the highest temperature should be kept to a minimum. For curing at 320°C, for example, the curing time may be up to about 1 hour or under an inert atmosphere; however, at higher curing temperatures, it is desirable to shorten this time to avoid thermal decomposition. Generally speaking, the higher the temperature, the shorter the time. Those skilled in the art will recognize the balance of temperature and time needed to optimize the properties of polyimide for a particular end use. 【0430】 In some embodiments, the polyamic acid solution is converted into a polyimide film by a thermal conversion process. 【0431】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the polyamic acid solution is coated onto a substrate such that the soft bake thickness of the resulting film is 10 to 50 μm. 【0432】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate in proximity mode, where nitrogen gas is used to hold the coated substrate just above the hot plate. 【0433】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate in full-contact mode, where the coated substrate is in direct contact with the hot plate surface. 【0434】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate using a combination of proximity mode and full-contact mode. 【0435】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked using a hot plate set to 80-140°C. 【0436】 In some embodiments of the thermal conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked for a total time of 2 to 10 minutes. 【0437】 In some embodiments of the thermal conversion process, the soft-baked coating substrate is subsequently cured at 2 to 10 pre-selected temperatures over 2 to 10 pre-selected time intervals, the latter of which may be the same or different. 【0438】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, the pre-selected temperature is in the range of 80 to 450°C. 【0439】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are 2 minutes. 【0440】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are 5 minutes. 【0441】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are 10 minutes. 【0442】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are 15 minutes. 【0443】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are greater than 15 minutes. 【0444】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are between 2 minutes and 60 minutes. 【0445】 In some embodiments of the heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are between 2 minutes and 120 minutes. 【0446】 In some embodiments of the thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film comprises the following steps in order: coating a substrate with the polyamic acid solution described above; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronic applications such as those disclosed herein. 【0447】 In some embodiments of the thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film comprises the following steps: coating a substrate with the polyamic acid solution described above; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronic applications as disclosed herein. 【0448】 In some embodiments of the thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film essentially comprises the following steps in order: coating a substrate with the polyamic acid solution described above; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronic applications such as those disclosed herein. 【0449】 Typically, the polyamic acid solution / polyimide disclosed herein is coated / cured onto a support glass substrate to facilitate processing throughout the rest of the display manufacturing process. At some point in the process, as determined by the display manufacturer, the polyimide coating is removed from the support glass substrate by a mechanical or laser lift-off process. These processes separate the polyimide from the glass as a film with a fused display layer, enabling a flexible format. Often, this polyimide film with a vapor-deposited layer is then bonded to a thicker, but still flexible, plastic film to provide a support for the subsequent fabrication of the display. 【0450】 A modification thermal conversion process is also provided in which the conversion catalyst causes the imidation reaction at a lower temperature than is generally possible in the absence of such a conversion catalyst. 【0451】 In some embodiments, the polyamic acid solution is converted into a polyimide film by a modification thermal conversion process. 【0452】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, the polyamic acid solution further comprises a conversion catalyst. 【0453】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, the polyamic acid solution further comprises a conversion catalyst selected from the group consisting of tertiary amines. 【0454】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, a polyamic acid solution is coated onto a substrate such that the soft bake thickness of the resulting film is less than 10-50 μm. 【0455】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate in proximity mode, where nitrogen gas is used to hold the coated substrate directly above the hot plate. 【0456】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate in full-contact mode, where the coated substrate is in direct contact with the surface of the hot plate. 【0457】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked on a hot plate using a combination of proximity mode and full-contact mode. 【0458】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked using a hot plate set to 80-150°C. 【0459】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, the coated substrate is soft-baked for a total time of 2 to 10 minutes. 【0460】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, a soft-baked coating substrate is subsequently cured at 2 to 10 pre-selected temperatures over 2 to 10 pre-selected time intervals, the latter of which may be the same or different. 【0461】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, the pre-selected temperature is 80 to over 300°C. 【0462】 In some embodiments of the modification heat conversion process, one or more of the pre-selected time intervals are between 2 minutes and 120 minutes. 【0463】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film comprises the following steps in order: coating a substrate with a polyamic acid solution containing the above-mentioned conversion chemicals; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronics applications as disclosed herein. 【0464】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film comprises the following steps: coating a substrate with a polyamic acid solution containing the above-mentioned conversion chemicals; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronic applications as disclosed herein. 【0465】 In some embodiments of the modification thermal conversion process, a method for preparing a polyimide film essentially comprises the following steps in order: coating a substrate with a polyamic acid solution containing the above-mentioned conversion chemicals; soft-baking the coated substrate; and processing the soft-baked coated substrate at a plurality of pre-selected temperatures over a plurality of pre-selected time intervals, thereby enabling the polyimide film to exhibit properties satisfactory for use in electronic applications such as those disclosed herein. 【0466】 7.

Furthermore, the order in which the tasks are listed is not necessarily the order in which they are performed. 【0498】 In this specification, the concept has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as described in the following claims. Accordingly, this specification and the figures are illustrative and not restrictive, and all such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the invention. 【0499】 Benefits, other advantages, and solutions to problems have been described in relation to specific embodiments. However, benefits, advantages, and solutions to problems, as well as any features that may produce or enhance any benefit, advantage, or solution, shall not be construed as essential, required, or indispensable features of any or all claims. 【0500】 For clarity, it should be understood that certain features may be described herein in relation to other embodiments and may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, for brevity, various features described in relation to a single embodiment may also be provided individually or in any partial combination. The use of various ranges of numerical values specified herein is described as approximations, such that both the minimum and maximum values within the range are preceded by the word “approximately”. In this way, small fluctuations above and below the range can be used to achieve substantially the same results as the numerical values within the range. Furthermore, the disclosure of these ranges is intended to be a continuous range including all values between the minimum-average and maximum-average values, including decimal values that may arise when some components of one value are mixed with some components of a different value. Moreover, when wider and narrower ranges are disclosed, matching the minimum value from one range with the maximum value from another is within the scope expected of the invention, and vice versa.
