Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to a photocurable composition, a cured product of a photocurable composition, and a light-emitting device. [Background technology]
[0002] Regarding materials for constituting next-generation displays such as organic electroluminescent (hereinafter also referred to as "organic EL") displays, various technical means have been proposed from the viewpoint of improving optical properties. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a curable ink composition comprising at least one aromatic (meth)acrylate, at least one polyfunctional (meth)acrylate having a heteroaromatic group, a condensed aromatic group, a heteroalkylene group, or a group containing both a heteroalkylene group and an aromatic group, and a photoinitiator, wherein the ink composition is inkjet printable, has a viscosity of 30 centipoise or less at a temperature of room temperature to 35°C, does not contain solvents, and when printed and cured, has a refractive index of 1.55 or more and is optically transparent. Patent Document 2 discloses an ultraviolet curable resin composition containing a photopolymerizable component (A) and a photopolymerization initiator (B), having a refractive index of 1.53 or more and a viscosity of 30 mP·s or less at at least one of 25°C or 40°C. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2020-506251 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-55051 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] In light-emitting devices such as organic EL displays, increasing brightness is a challenge. The main cause of brightness reduction is the decrease in light extraction efficiency due to the phenomenon of total internal reflection of light from the light-emitting layer at interfaces with a difference in refractive index. In particular, the difference in refractive index between the inorganic layer, which consists of silicon nitride film (refractive index 1.9) or indium tin oxide (refractive index 2.1), and the resin layer, which consists of a polarizing plate or optical adhesive (refractive index less than 1.55), has a significant effect on brightness reduction. Therefore, in order to improve the light extraction rate at the interface between the inorganic layer and the resin layer, a light extraction layer having a high refractive index (e.g., a refractive index of 1.55 or higher) is sometimes provided between the inorganic layer and the resin layer. For the formation of the light extraction layer, a photocurable composition that can be applied by an inkjet device and can form a cured film with a high refractive index (e.g., 1.55 or higher) while having high transmittance is useful.
[0005] The main object of this disclosure is to provide a photocurable composition that can be applied by an inkjet device and that can form a cured film having a high refractive index at a wavelength of 486 nm while also having high transmittance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0044] <Other ingredients> The photocurable composition may contain components other than aromatic monomers and photopolymerization initiators (other components), or it may not contain other components. The photocurable composition may contain, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of diaryl sulfide compounds, fluorine-containing compounds, nitroxyl radical compounds, reactive diluents, and stabilizers.
[0045] <Diaryl sulfide compounds> Diaryl sulfide compounds are compounds containing two aryl groups and a thioether bond (-S-) connecting the two aryl groups. When a photocurable composition contains a diaryl sulfide compound, a cured film with a higher refractive index is more likely to be obtained.
[0046] Diaryl sulfide compounds are of the formula:Ar 1 -S-Ar 2 It may be a compound represented by Ar. 1 and Ar 2 Each of these independently represents an aryl group. 1 and Ar 2 These groups may be of the same type or different types.

[0048] The diaryl sulfide compound may have at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, a (meth)acryloyl group, and a vinyl (thio) ether group.
[0049] The diaryl sulfide compound may be, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (4). [ka]
[0050] In equation (4), m1 and m2 each independently represent integers from 1 to 5. 5 and R 6 Each of these independently represents a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, a (meth)acryloyl group, or a vinyl (thio) ether group. 5 and R 6 If there are multiple instances, then there are multiple R 5 and R 6 These groups may be of the same type or different types.
[0051] The diaryl sulfide compound may be a compound represented by the following formula (4a). [ka]
[0052] In formula (4a), R 5 and R 6 R in equation (4) 5 and R 6 It is synonymous with [the above].

By adjusting the diaryl sulfide compound content within the above numerical range, a photocurable composition with lower viscosity at 25°C and superior inkjet ejection stability can be obtained, and a cured film with a higher refractive index tends to be easier to obtain. The diaryl sulfide compound content may be 50% by mass or less, 45% by mass or less, 40% by mass or less, 35% by mass or less, 30% by mass or less, 25% by mass or less, 20% by mass or less, or 15% by mass or less, based on the total amount of the photocurable composition. By adjusting the diaryl sulfide compound content within the above numerical range, a cured film with higher transmittance tends to be easier to obtain.
[0054] <Fluorine-containing compounds> The photocurable compound preferably contains a compound having a fluoro group (hereinafter also referred to as "fluorine-containing compound"). This lowers the surface free energy of the sealant, which not only improves ejection performance by inkjet devices but also makes it easier to follow fine irregularities, resulting in improved flatness of the coating film. Improved flatness further suppresses the occurrence of pinholes and tends to further reduce display defects.
[0055] When the photocurable compound contains a fluorine-containing compound, the content of the fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, 0.1% by mass or more, preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and more preferably 1% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the photocurable compound. When the photocurable compound contains a fluorine-containing compound, the content of the fluorine-containing compound is preferably 5% by mass or less, and more preferably 2% by mass or less, based on the total amount of the photocurable compound, in order to further improve flatness while suppressing a decrease in refractive index. The content of the fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, 0.1% by mass or more and 2% by mass or less.
[0056] The number of fluoro groups in a fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, one or more, preferably two or more, and more preferably three or more. Furthermore, the number of fluoro groups in a fluorine-containing compound is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 40 or less, and preferably 30 or less.
[0057] The fluorine atom content relative to the total amount of the fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, 1% by mass or more, preferably 2% by mass or more, and more preferably 5% by mass or more. The above-mentioned effects are more pronounced when a fluorine-containing compound satisfying this content range is used. Alternatively, the fluorine atom content relative to the total amount of the fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, 75% by mass or less, preferably 70% by mass or less, and more preferably 65% by mass or less.
[0058] Fluorine-containing compounds may have radical polymerizable groups. These radical polymerizable groups may be, for example, (meth)acryloyl groups. The number of radical polymerizable groups in a fluorine-containing compound may be one or more. From the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product with a lower glass transition temperature, the number of radical polymerizable groups in a fluorine-containing compound may be one. From the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product with a higher glass transition temperature, the number of radical polymerizable groups in a fluorine-containing compound may be two or more. There is no particular upper limit to the number of radical polymerizable groups in a fluorine-containing compound. The number of radical polymerizable groups in a fluorine-containing compound may be, for example, four or less, and from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product with superior flexibility, it is preferably three or less, more preferably two or less.
[0059] Examples of fluorine-containing compounds include 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl (meth)acrylate, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl (meth)acrylate, 1H,1H,5H-octafluoropentyl (meth)acrylate, 1H,1H,2H,2H-tridecafluorooctyl (meth)acrylate, and 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9-hexadecafluoro-1,10-decanedi (meth)acrylate.
[0060] <Nitroxyl radical compounds> Nitroxy radical compounds are stable radical-type compounds (RNO·) containing a disubstituted NO· atomic group (N-oxyl group). When a photocurable composition contains a nitroxy radical compound, the number of liquid particles with a particle size of 1 μm or larger in the photocurable composition is reduced, resulting in less nozzle clogging.

[0079] The number of particles in the liquid of the photocurable composition is measured at 23°C using a liquid particle counter (KS-42B, manufactured by Rion Co., Ltd.). Detailed measurement conditions are as described in the examples below.
[0080] The number of particles in the liquid of the photocurable composition can be adjusted, for example, by using a nitroxy radical compound.
[0081] <Viscosity> The viscosity of the photocurable composition at 25°C may be, for example, 45 mPa·s or less, 40 mPa·s or less, 35 mPa·s or less, or 30 mPa·s or less. The viscosity of the photocurable composition at 25°C may be, for example, 5 mPa·s or more, 10 mPa·s or more, 15 mPa·s or more, 20 mPa·s or more, or 25 mPa·s or more.

[0084] <Method for producing a photocurable composition> A photocurable composition can be produced, for example, by a method comprising a mixing step of mixing aromatic monomers, a photopolymerization initiator, and other components as needed, and a filtering step of filtering the resulting mixture.
[0085] In the mixing process, each component may be mixed while heating. The mixing temperature in the mixing process may be, for example, 45°C or higher or 55°C or higher, or 75°C or lower or 65°C or lower. The stirring speed during mixing may be, for example, 50 rpm or higher or 100 rpm or higher, or 300 rpm or lower or 200 rpm or lower.
[0086] <Uses of photocurable compositions> The photocurable composition according to this embodiment can be suitably used, for example, to form a light extraction layer (light extraction film).
[0087] [Cured product] One embodiment of the present disclosure is a cured product of the photocurable composition described above. The cured product may be a cured film formed by curing a coating of the photocurable composition. The thickness of the cured film may be, for example, 10 to 30 μm.

[0089] The cured product can be used, for example, as a component material for light-emitting devices such as a light extraction layer (light extraction film). Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of a laminate used in the optical components of a light-emitting device. As shown in Figure 1, in the laminate 10, the light extraction layer 1 is provided between a first layer 2 containing a high refractive index material with a refractive index greater than 1.80 and a second layer 3 containing a low refractive index material with a refractive index less than 1.55. By providing the light extraction layer 1 between the first layer 2 and the second layer 3 with different refractive indices, the decrease in light extraction efficiency due to the phenomenon of total internal reflection of light from the light-emitting layer at the interface with a refractive index difference is suppressed, and as a result, a brightness improvement effect is achieved. The first layer 2 containing the high refractive index material may be, for example, an inorganic layer consisting of a silicon nitride film (refractive index 1.9) or an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer (refractive index 2.1). The second layer 3 containing the low refractive index material may be, for example, a resin layer consisting of a polarizing plate or an optical adhesive (refractive index less than 1.55).
[0090] The cured product can be manufactured by a method including a coating film formation step of forming a coating film of the above-described photocurable composition and a light irradiation step of irradiating the coating film with light. The coating film can be formed using an inkjet device. A known inkjet device (for example, Fujifilm's DMP2850) can be used.
[0091] The light irradiation conditions in the light irradiation process can be appropriately set according to the type of photopolymerization initiator, etc. The irradiation light may include light with a wavelength of 395 nm. The light source is not particularly limited, and for example, an LED lamp (e.g., HOYA UV-LED LIGHT SOURCE H-4MLH200-V1) can be used. The light irradiation conditions are, for example, an integrated light intensity of 2,000 mJ / cm² at a wavelength of 395 nm. 2 ~4,000 mJ / cm 2 The conditions may be as follows: Light irradiation may be carried out under an inert gas atmosphere.

[0103] <Rating> [Viscosity and its changes over time (storage stability)] The viscosity of the photocurable composition was measured using a cone-plate viscometer (HB DV3T, manufactured by Eiko Seiki Co., Ltd., cone plate: CPA-40Z) at 25°C and 50 rpm. Similarly, the viscosity of the photocurable composition after 120 hours at 40°C was also measured at 25°C and 50 rpm.
[0104] [Number of particles] Under 23°C conditions, the number of particles in a liquid-based particle counter (KS-42B, manufactured by Rion Co., Ltd.) was used to count the number of particles in the photocurable composition.

[0105] [Inkjet ejection stability] A photocurable composition was filled into the inkjet cartridge of an inkjet printer (Fujifilm DMP2850, 16 nozzles). After 30 minutes of ejection at an initial ejection speed of 6.5 (±0.1) m / s and an ejection temperature of 35°C, the ejection status of all 16 nozzles was checked, and the percentage of nozzles with ejection defects was determined. The presence or absence of ejection defects was determined by counting the number of nozzles that did not exhibit any of the following: flight deviation (5° or more), reduced ejection speed (6.0 m / s or less), or failure to eject.
[0106] [Curing the hardened film] Using an inkjet device (Fujifilm DMP2850), a photocurable composition was droplet-impregnated into a 35mm square area to a film thickness of 10μm at an ejection temperature of 35°C. The resulting material was then left to stand in an air atmosphere (23°C, 40%RH) in a cleanroom (Class 1000) under a yellow lamp. Next, under a nitrogen atmosphere, an LED lamp emitting light at a wavelength of 395nm (HOYA UV-LED LIGHT SOURCE H-4MLH200-V1) was used to expose the photosensitive film to a total integrated light intensity of 3,000 mJ / cm² at a wavelength of 395nm. 2 The material was irradiated with light under the specified conditions. This resulted in the acquisition of a cured film.
[0107] [Refractive index] The refractive index of the above-mentioned cured film at a wavelength of 486 nm was measured using a spectroscopic ellipsometer (HORIBA SE-2000).
[0108] [Transmittance] The above cured film was determined to be transparent by measuring its spectral transmittance at 400 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation "UV-2550").
[0109] <Evaluation of flatness> On a substrate measuring 70 mm x 70 mm x 0.7 mm thick (alkali-free glass (Corning Eagle XG)), recesses measuring 25 μm x 25 μm x 3 μm thick were created by etching, with 10 μm spacing between them in all directions. Next, a 200 nm SiN film was formed on the recessed substrate using plasma CVD. Then, a resin composition was pattern-coated to a size of 15 mm x 15 mm x 8 μm thick using an inkjet ejector (Musashi Engineering MID500B, solvent-based head "MID head"). Prior to pattern coating, the substrate was cleaned with acetone and isopropanol, respectively, and then cleaned for 5 minutes using a Technovision UV-208 UV ozone cleaning device. After pattern coating, the material was left in a nitrogen atmosphere for 4 minutes at a temperature of 23°C and a relative humidity of 50%. Under the nitrogen atmosphere, an LED lamp (HOYA UV-LED LIGHT SOURCE H-4MLH200-V1) emitting light at a wavelength of 395 nm was used to measure the integrated light intensity of 395 nm light to 1,500 mJ / cm². 2 The resin composition was photocured under the following conditions. Next, the thickness of the cured film was measured using a stylus-type shape measuring device (BRUKER DektakXT) in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the head moved. The difference between the maximum and minimum thickness in the plane excluding 2 mm from the edge of the cured film was used as the flatness evaluation result.
