Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a curable composition for inkjet use and for forming partition walls, which is applied using an inkjet device. The present invention also relates to a light-emitting device and a method for producing a light-emitting device using the curable composition.
[0002] In recent years, light-emitting devices capable of emitting infrared light have been widely used. Examples of such light-emitting devices include smartphones equipped with face authentication systems. Conventional light-emitting devices include a first member such as a substrate, a second member such as a glass member, a light-emitting member capable of emitting infrared light disposed on the surface of the first member, and a plastic housing connecting the first member and the second member. The plastic housing is typically disposed to surround the light-emitting member and is made of a material that is resistant to leakage of infrared light (see, for example, Patent Document 1 listed below).
[0003] WO2015 / 025593A1
[0004] In recent years, light-emitting devices have become increasingly smaller. However, in conventional light-emitting devices that use plastic housings, it is difficult to sufficiently reduce the distance between the light-emitting member and the plastic housing, and therefore there is a limit to how small the light-emitting device can be.
[0005] In order to achieve miniaturization of light-emitting devices, it is conceivable to manufacture light-emitting devices by using an inkjet device to apply a curable composition in a frame shape so as to surround a light-emitting member and then curing the applied curable composition to form a partition wall. In this case, the performance of the curable composition needs to be such that it can form a partition wall having a large aspect ratio (height / width) and high infrared light-shielding properties.
[0006] However, it is difficult to form partition walls with a large aspect ratio using conventional curable compositions for inkjet printing, and it is also difficult to improve the infrared light shielding properties of the partition walls using conventional curable compositions for inkjet printing.

Figs. 3(d) to 3(f) are cross-sectional views illustrating each step of a method for manufacturing the light-emitting device shown in Fig. 1.
[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0028] (Curable composition for inkjet printing and for partition wall formation) The curable composition for inkjet printing and for partition wall formation according to the present invention (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "curable composition") is used by being applied using an inkjet device (application of the curable composition using an inkjet device and use for forming partition walls). The curable composition according to the present invention is different from curable compositions that are applied by screen printing and different from curable compositions that are applied using a dispenser.
[0029] The curable composition according to the present invention comprises a photocurable compound having a total of two or more (meth)acryloyl groups and vinyl groups and no cyclic ether group, a thermosetting compound having a cyclic ether group, a photopolymerization initiator, a thermosetting agent, and an infrared light shielding agent.
[0030] In this specification, the above-mentioned "photocurable compound having a total of two or more (meth)acryloyl groups and vinyl groups and having no cyclic ether group" may be referred to as "(A) photocurable compound."
[0031] In this specification, the above-mentioned "thermosetting compound having a cyclic ether group" may be referred to as "(B) thermosetting compound."
[0032] Therefore, the curable composition according to the present invention contains (A) a photocurable compound, (B) a thermosetting compound, a photopolymerization initiator, a thermosetting agent, and an infrared light shielding agent.
[0033] The curable composition according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and therefore can form partition walls with a large aspect ratio and high infrared light-shielding properties. The curable composition according to the present invention can form partition walls with an aspect ratio (height / width) required for a light-emitting device. Furthermore, in a light-emitting device, if infrared light irradiated from a light-emitting member leaks into unintended areas, the performance of the light-emitting device will deteriorate. The curable composition according to the present invention can form partition walls with high infrared light-shielding properties, and therefore infrared light irradiated from a light-emitting member is less likely to leak into unintended areas.
[0034] Furthermore, the curable composition according to the present invention can be applied with high precision to the vicinity of a light-emitting member using an inkjet device, and therefore the light-emitting device can be made smaller.
[0035] Furthermore, since the curable composition according to the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to increase the adhesive strength between the member to be adhered and the partition wall.
[0036] The curable composition is a photo- and thermosetting composition because it contains (A) a photocurable compound and (B) a thermosetting compound. The curable composition is preferably used by being cured by irradiation with light and then cured by heating.
[0037] Hereinafter, each component contained in the curable composition will be described in detail. In this specification, "(meth)acryloyl" means one or both of "acryloyl" and "methacryloyl", and "(meth)acrylate" means one or both of "acrylate" and "methacrylate". In addition, in this specification, the CH 2 =C(H or CH 3 ) groups are not included in the vinyl groups.

[0039] The (A) photocurable compound has a total of two or more (meth)acryloyl groups and vinyl groups. When a curable composition contains an infrared light shielding agent, the photoreactivity (photocurability) of the curable composition generally tends to decrease. However, in the present invention, a (A) photocurable compound having a large number of photocurable functional groups is used, thereby increasing the number of reaction sites upon light irradiation. As a result, in the present invention, the curing of the curable composition can be smoothly promoted by light irradiation. Furthermore, in the present invention, by using a (A) photocurable compound having a large number of photocurable functional groups, the curing of the curable composition can be smoothly promoted by light irradiation, and the proportion of three-dimensional structures formed in the crosslinked state after photocuring can be increased. As a result, in the present invention, partition walls with a large aspect ratio can be formed even when the curable composition contains an infrared light shielding agent.

The partition wall 3 is a cured product of the curable composition described above. The partition wall 3 is a photo- and thermally cured product of the curable composition described above. The partition wall 3 bonds the first surface 1a of the first member 1 to the first surface 2a of the second member 2. The partition wall 3 is disposed on the first surface 1a of the first member 1 and on the first surface 2a of the second member 2. The partition wall 3 is disposed on the first surface 1a of the first member 1 so as to surround the light-emitting member 4. The partition wall 3 is not disposed on the surface of the light-emitting member 4. The partition wall 3 has a frame-like shape. A space is formed by the area surrounded by the first member 1, the second member 2, and the partition wall 3.
[0142] An example of a method for manufacturing the light-emitting device shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c) and FIGS. 3(d) to 3(f).
[0143] 2(a), a curable composition layer 3A is formed by applying a curable composition using an inkjet device onto the first surface 1a of the first member 1 on which the light-emitting member 4 is disposed (application step). The curable composition is applied to the upper surface of the first member 1 to form the curable composition layer 3A. The curable composition is ejected from the ejection unit 51 of the inkjet device.
[0144] 2(b), the curable composition layer 3A is irradiated with light from the light irradiation unit 52 of the inkjet device to proceed with curing of the curable composition layer 3A, thereby forming a B-staged product layer 3B (photo-curing step). The B-staged product layer 3B is a pre-cured product layer of the curable composition.
[0145] In the method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, after applying the curable composition to a specific region, the entire applied curable composition may be irradiated with light to form a B-staged product layer. In the method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, the applied curable composition may be irradiated with light every time multiple drops of the curable composition are applied, to form a B-staged product layer. In the method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, the applied curable composition may be irradiated with light every time one drop of the curable composition is applied, to form a B-staged product layer.
[0146] After the photocuring step, it is determined whether or not to repeat the coating step and the photocuring step. If the coating step and the photocuring step are repeated, the curable composition is coated on the surface side of the formed B-staged material layer opposite to the first member side.
[0147] 2(c) and 3(d) are diagrams showing the second coating step and the second photocuring step, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2(c), an inkjet device is used to coat a curable composition on the surface of the B-staged material layer 3B opposite the first member 1 side, thereby forming a curable composition layer 3A on the surface of the B-staged material layer 3B. Next, as shown in FIG. 3(d), light is irradiated onto the coated curable composition layer 3A from a light irradiation unit 52 of the inkjet device, thereby forming a B-staged material layer 3B.
[0148] 2 and 3, the coating step and the photo-curing step are performed twice in the thickness direction of the curable composition layer, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b) and as shown in Figures 2(c) and 3(d). By performing the coating step and the photo-curing step multiple times in the thickness direction of the curable composition layer, the thickness of the B-staged product layer can be increased, and the aspect ratio (thickness / width) of the B-staged product layer can be increased. The coating step and the photo-curing step may each be performed two or more times, or three or more times.
[0149] By repeating the above-mentioned application step and photo-curing step, a B-stage compound layer 3B is formed, which is disposed so as to surround the light emitting member 4.
[0150] 3( e), a second member 2 is placed on the surface of the B-stage compound layer 3B, which is arranged to surround the light-emitting member 4, opposite the first member 1 (placement step). The second member 2 is placed on the surface of the frame-shaped B-stage compound layer 3B. Pressure may be applied when placing the second member.
[0151] Next, as shown in Fig. 3(f), the B-staged material layer 3B is thermally cured by heating (thermal curing step). The laminated structure including the first member 1, the second member 2, and the B-staged material layer 3B obtained in Fig. 3(e) is heated to thermally cure the B-staged material layer 3B. This forms the partition walls 3. The partition walls 3 are photo- and thermo-cured layers of a curable composition.
[0152] In this manner, the light emitting device 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained.

[0156] From the viewpoint of improving the inkjet ejection properties of the curable composition and forming partition walls with a larger aspect ratio, it is preferable to circulate the curable composition while heating it. When circulating the curable composition while heating it, the temperature of the curable composition can be adjusted by introducing a heater into the ink tank or using a heater in the circulation channel section.

[0158] In the photo-curing step, ultraviolet light is preferably irradiated. The irradiance and irradiation time of the ultraviolet light in the photo-curing step can be appropriately changed depending on the composition of the curable composition and the coating thickness of the curable composition. The irradiance of the ultraviolet light in the photo-curing step is, for example, 1000 mW / cm 2 or more, 5000 mW / cm 2 or more, and may be 10,000 mW / cm 2 or less, and may be 8000 mW / cm 2 The irradiation time of ultraviolet light in the photocuring step may be, for example, 0.01 seconds or more, 0.1 seconds or more, 400 seconds or less, or 100 seconds or less.
[0159] In the disposing step, it is preferable that the second member be disposed on the surface of the B-stage compound layer disposed so as to surround the light emitting member, and that the surface of the B-stage compound layer formed in a frame shape be bonded to the second member.
[0160] The thermal curing step is preferably carried out after the placement step.
[0161] The heating temperature and heating time in the thermal curing step can be appropriately changed depending on the composition of the curable composition and the thickness of the B-staged product layer. The heating temperature in the thermal curing step may be, for example, 100° C. or higher, 120° C. or higher, and 250° C. or lower, or 200° C. or lower. The heating time in the thermal curing step may be, for example, 5 minutes or longer, 30 minutes or longer, or 600 minutes or shorter, or 300 minutes or shorter.
[0162] The width, height, shape, etc. of the partition wall can be changed as appropriate.
[0163] The width of the partition wall is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 10 μm or more, even more preferably 25 μm or more, and preferably 300 μm or less, more preferably 200 μm or less, and even more preferably 100 μm or less. When the width of the partition wall is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the strength of the partition wall can be increased. When the width of the partition wall is equal to or less than the upper limit, the light-emitting device can be further miniaturized. When the width of the partition wall is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the infrared light shielding property can be further improved.
[0164] The height of the partition wall is preferably 50 μm or more, more preferably 100 μm or more, even more preferably 200 μm or more, and preferably 3000 μm or less, more preferably 2000 μm or less, and even more preferably 1000 μm or less.

When the height of the partition wall is equal to or less than the upper limit, the light-emitting device can be further miniaturized. Furthermore, when the height of the partition wall is equal to or less than the upper limit, the occurrence of distortion in the partition wall can be effectively suppressed.
