Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a photopolymerizable composition, an optical component formed therefrom, and a display device, the optical properties (including excellent light transmittance, low haze, and high refractive index) and mechanical and physical properties (including high flexibility and excellent bending reliability) of which are simultaneously improved. Prior Technology
[0002] For a transparent optical film with a structured prism, the rate of increase in brightness varies depending on the refractive index of the resin constituting the prism structure. Generally, the rate of increase in brightness increases with the increase in the refractive index of the resin constituting the prism. Therefore, research and development regarding this transparent optical film are moving towards increasing the refractive index of the resin constituting the prism.
[0003] For the high-refractive-index resins used to form the prisms, to ensure a high refractive index, they are usually formed in the form of metal oxides dispersed in organic compounds. Due to the use of metal oxides, the refractive index is high, but there are also problems with increased haze and reflectivity. If the reflectivity is high, the outdoor visibility of the display will decrease.
[0004] For the resins formed in the form of metal oxide dispersions, the product shelf life depends on the dispersion stability, making large-scale production difficult and leading to increased costs. Furthermore, compositions containing these metal oxides exhibit problems such as decreased inkjet processability due to increased viscosity, thus presenting numerous technical limitations.
[0005] Furthermore, when using conventional photopolymerizable components as monomers to form the resin and optical film, surface curing often fails to occur fully during the photocuring process due to the influence of oxygen in the air. As a result, the resin and optical film exhibit problems such as increased haze and decreased light transmittance or visibility, including reduced ultraviolet transmittance. In addition, insufficient surface curing leads to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the film, significantly reducing the high flexibility and bending reliability required for foldable devices. Therefore, considering the above problems, curing processes in an inert gas environment such as nitrogen are considered, but this could potentially lead to a significant increase in the manufacturing cost.
[0006] With the recent development of display-related technologies, deformable display devices that can be folded, rolled into a roll, or stretched like a rubber band are being developed and mass-produced. These displays can deform into various shapes, therefore the materials used also need to possess deformable mechanical properties.
[0007] However, due to the aforementioned problems, it has not yet been developed to the point where it exhibits viscosity characteristics suitable for inkjet processes and meets the requirements of excellent optical properties and high flexibility. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop technologies that can form optical films that exhibit excellent optical and mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Based on this, the present invention provides a photopolymerizable composition that exhibits viscosity characteristics suitable for inkjet processes and suppresses haze increase during curing, thereby enabling the formation of optical components that simultaneously improve optical properties (including excellent light transmittance, low haze, and high refractive index) and mechanical and physical properties (including high flexibility and excellent bending reliability).
[0009] The present invention also provides an optical component formed from the photopolymerizable composition, having improved optical properties (including excellent light transmittance, low haze and high refractive index) and mechanical properties (including high flexibility and excellent bending reliability).
[0010] In addition, the present invention provides a display device including the optical component.
[0011] This invention provides a photopolymerizable composition comprising: a) One or more high refractive index monomers with a liquid refractive index of 1.51 or higher before hardening; b) One or more highly flexible monomers; and c) Photopolymerization initiator.
[0012] The present invention also provides an optical component comprising: a substrate; and a hardened film comprising a hardened form of the photopolymerizable composition.
[0013] In addition, the present invention provides a display device including the optical component.
[0014] The photopolymerizable composition according to this specification exhibits viscosity characteristics suitable for inkjet processes, and can simultaneously form a hardened film with a high refractive index and optical components containing such a hardened film. Furthermore, the specific highly flexible monomers contained in this photopolymerizable composition improve the mechanical properties of the hardened material, such as flexibility and bending reliability. Additionally, the amine enhancer contained in this photopolymerizable composition significantly reduces the problem of reduced surface hardening caused by oxygen, resulting in optical components exhibiting low haze, excellent ultraviolet transmittance, and high visibility.
[0015] Furthermore, the curing process of this photopolymerizable composition does not require a nitrogen atmosphere, which can greatly improve the overall economic efficiency of the process.
[0016] Therefore, optical components formed from this photopolymer composition have low manufacturing costs and exhibit low haze, high refractive index, excellent light transmittance and visibility, as well as excellent flexibility and bending properties, which greatly helps to improve the characteristics of foldable or flexible display devices. Simple Explanation of the Diagram
[0017] none. Implementation
[0018] The invention will be described in more detail below. The terms or words used in this specification and the claims should not be construed as limited to their general or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as conforming to the technical concept of the invention, provided that the inventors can appropriately define the concepts of the terms to best describe the invention.
[0019] Furthermore, the term "comprising" as used in the specification of this invention indicates the presence of a certain characteristic, domain, integer, step, operation, element, and / or component, and does not exclude the presence of other characteristics, domains, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components.
[0020] In the instructions, "(meth)acrylate" can refer to either "acrylate" or "methacrylate".
[0021] The embodiments will be described in detail below to enable those skilled in the art to implement the invention. The embodiments can be implemented in various different ways and are not limited to the embodiments described below.
[0022] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a photopolymerizable composition can be provided, comprising: a) one or more high refractive index monomers with a liquid refractive index of 1.51 or higher before curing; b) one or more highly flexible monomers; and c) a photopolymerization initiator.
[0023] In one specific embodiment of the photopolymerizable composition, high refractive properties can be achieved using only high-refractive-index monomers without the presence of metal oxides, and cracking of the hardened film can be prevented by including highly flexible monomers with excellent elongation. Therefore, when an optical component with a hardened film formed from this photopolymerizable composition is used in a foldable or flexible display device, the performance of the display element can be improved. Furthermore, even though the photopolymerizable composition contains only high-refractive-index monomers and highly flexible monomers, it meets the appropriate viscosity range suitable for inkjet applications, enabling the hardened material to achieve excellent optical and mechanical properties.
[0024] Because this photopolymerizable composition does not use metal oxides, it exhibits excellent surface hardening properties during photocuring, thereby improving the haze characteristics, light transmittance, and visibility of the optical film, and avoiding an increase in manufacturing costs. In particular, by using a highly flexible monomer, cracking is prevented as described above, ensuring the excellent flexibility and bending reliability required for foldable or flexible devices. Furthermore, the curing process of this photopolymerizable composition does not require a nitrogen atmosphere, thus significantly improving the overall process economy.
[0025] Furthermore, this photopolymerizable composition further includes one or more components such as amine enhancers, photosensitizers, and surfactants, thereby improving the surface hardening properties of the film used to provide the hardened film. For example, the amine enhancer included in this photopolymerizable composition can significantly reduce the problem of reduced surface hardening caused by the influence of oxygen. This is because, during the hardening process, the amine groups included in the amine enhancer capture oxygen free radicals in the air, thereby further improving the reactivity of the polymerization initiator. In addition, the use of the photosensitizer can promote the polymerization reaction during photopolymerization. Furthermore, the use of the surfactant can impart effects such as improved film thickness uniformity or surface smoothness.
[0026] Therefore, when a photopolymerizable composition (containing not only the aforementioned high-refractive-index monomer, high-flexibility monomer, and photopolymerization initiator, but also additional components) is photocured to form a hardened film and optical components, a high degree of surface hardening is achieved even in an air environment. This allows the hardened film to exhibit low haze, excellent ultraviolet transmittance, and high visibility. In particular, the photopolymerizable composition exhibits high flexibility and significantly improved bending characteristics, and displays a viscosity suitable for inkjet printing, thereby improving the processability of coating and film formation. Furthermore, the curing process of this photopolymerizable composition does not require a nitrogen atmosphere, thus greatly improving the overall process economy.
[0027] Therefore, when using this photopolymerizable composition, it is possible to form optical components with low unit cost and exhibiting low haze, high refractive index, high flexibility, excellent light transmittance and visibility, thereby making a significant contribution to improving the characteristics of various types of display devices.
[0028] Specifically, the components used in this photopolymerizable composition are described below.
[0029] In one specific embodiment, the photopolymerizable composition, as a base monomer for forming a hardened film matrix, comprises one or more high refractive index monomers with a liquid refractive index of 1.51 or higher before hardening.
[0030] This high-refractive-index monomer can form a base resin, which, through a photocuring process described later, undergoes cross-linking polymerization of photocurable functional groups under the mediation of a photopolymerization initiator to form a cured film. In particular, because this high-refractive-index monomer satisfies a specific liquid crystal refractive index range, it can increase the refractive index of the cured film based on ultraviolet irradiation. More specifically, the liquid refractive index of the high-refractive-index monomer before curing can be between 1.51 and 1.60. When the liquid refractive index of the high-refractive-index monomer is below 1.51, there is a problem that the refractive index of the cured film decreases to below 1.58.
[0031] The high refractive index monomer can be an aromatic or alicyclic photocurable compound containing one or more aromatic rings or one or more heteroatoms.
[0032] Specifically, the high refractive index monomer can be an aromatic or alicyclic photocurable compound containing one or more aromatic rings or one or more heteroatoms and having photocurable functional groups with 10 to 40 carbon atoms.
[0033] More specifically, the high refractive index monomer can be an aromatic photocurable compound comprising the structure of the following chemical formula 1.
[0034] [Chemical Formula 1] B-Z1-Z2-R In the above chemical formula 1, B comprises any one or more of the following structures: an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a 5-7 membered aliphatic heterocyclic structure with one or more sulfur atoms (S) substituted, or a 5-7 membered aromatic heterocyclic structure with one or more sulfur atoms (S) substituted. Z1 series refers to alkyl groups with direct bonds or 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Z2 series refers to alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms that are directly bonded or contain one or more oxygen (O) or sulfur (S) atoms. The R-series consists of photocurable functional groups.
[0035] The high refractive index monomer may contain a structure of chemical formula 1, wherein the B series is an aryl group with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, the Z1 series is a direct bond, and the Z2 series is an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms containing one or more oxygen (O) atoms.
[0036] The high refractive index monomer may contain a structure of chemical formula 1, wherein the B series is an aryl group with 6 to 30 carbon atoms, the Z1 series is a direct bond, and the Z2 series contains one or more oxygen (O) and aromatic ring structures.
[0037] The high refractive index monomer may contain a structure of chemical formula 1, wherein the B series contains a 5-7 membered aromatic heterocyclic structure in which sulfur (S) is substituted, the Z1 series is a direct bond, and the Z2 series is an alkyl group containing one or more sulfur (S) atoms with a carbon number of 1 to 10.
[0038] The high-refractive-index monomer can be a liquid, but in the case of anthracene or sulfur-containing structures represented by the above chemical formula, it can exist in powder form instead of a liquid.
[0039] More specifically, the aforementioned high refractive index monomer may comprise one or more selected from the group consisting of benzyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxybenzyl (meth)acrylate, o-phenylphenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, biphenyl ethyl (meth)acrylate, and chemical formulas 2 to 8.
[0040] [Chemical Formula 2]
[0041] [Chemical Formula 3]
[0042] [Chemical Formula 4]
[0043] [Chemical Formula 5]
[0044] [Chemical Formula 6]
[0045] [Chemical Formula 7]
[0046] [Chemical Formula 8]
[0047] In the above chemical formulas 2 to 8, R is independently H or CH3.
[0048] In particular, when the high refractive index single system has an anthracene and sulfur-containing structure, the refractive index can be ensured to be above 1.61.
[0049] On the other hand, according to this specification, the highly flexible monomer is hardened together with the high refractive index monomer, thereby significantly improving the flexibility and bending properties of the hardened film and preventing cracking.
[0050] Specifically, the highly flexible monomer may contain one or more compounds with photocurable functional groups, which can increase the elongation of the final cured film by at least 5%.
[0051] The elongation can be determined as follows: after peeling a 20 μm thick film from the plain glass to prepare a dog bone-shaped specimen (28 mm x 4 mm), the elongation is measured using a tensile stress-strain curve obtained by UTM from Instron.
[0052] This highly flexible monomer may contain a structure of the following chemical formula 9.
[0053] [Chemical Formula 9] (A)mB-(A')n In the above chemical formula 9, A and A', as photocurable functional groups, can be the same or different. B, as an aliphatic structure with 6 to 50 carbon atoms, including or not including one or more oxygen atoms, must contain at least a straight-chain alkyl structure with 6 or more carbon atoms. m and n are integers that are either 0 or 1.
[0054] This highly flexible monomer can be a structure of chemical formula 9 containing 4 to 20 oxygen atoms.
[0055] More specifically, the highly flexible monomer may be one or more selected from the group consisting of aliphatic mono(meth)acrylates having 6 to 30 carbon atoms and aliphatic di(meth)acrylates having 6 to 30 carbon atoms. The viscosity of the highly flexible monomer may be 1 to 30 cP.
[0056] More specifically, the highly flexible monomer may comprise one or more of the group consisting of isodecyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate, ethoxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxyethyl methacrylate, triethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, tetraethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, dipropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, tripropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate and the following chemical formula 10.
[0057] [Chemical Formula 10]
[0058] In the above chemical formula 10, a + b = 0 ~ 10, where a and b are integers.
[0059] In the above chemical formula 10, a and b can each be an integer from 1 to 5.
[0060] Based on a total weight of 100 parts by weight of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the high-flexibility monomer must contain at least 10 parts by weight. Specifically, the photopolymerizable composition must contain at least 10 parts by weight of the high-flexibility monomer to improve the flexibility of the hardened film.
[0061] More specifically, based on a total of 100 parts by weight of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the high-flexibility monomer may contain 10 to 90 parts by weight. Additionally, based on a total of 100 parts by weight of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the high-flexibility monomer may contain 10 to 40 parts by weight.
[0062] If the content of this highly flexible monomer is less than 10 parts by weight, the elongation after coating formation will be less than 5%, failing to improve flexibility. Furthermore, if the content of this highly flexible monomer is too high, exceeding 90 parts by weight, the refractive index will decrease, making it impossible to achieve a high refractive index of 1.58 or higher.
[0063] The photopolymerizable composition of one specific embodiment described above includes a photopolymerization initiator. This photopolymerization initiator can initiate and promote the photocuring reaction of the two specific monomers described above.
[0064] As such photopolymerization initiators, any initiator known to initiate and promote the photocuring reaction of photocurable functional groups such as (meth)acrylate groups can be used.
[0065] Examples of such photopolymerization initiators include one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of triazine, benzoin, benzophenone, imidazole, xanthonesone, oxime ester, and acetophenone compounds. More specific examples of such photopolymerization initiators include compounds selected from 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-6-p-methoxystyryl-s-triazine, 2-p-methoxystyryl-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-s-triazine, 2,4-trichloromethyl-6-triazine, 2,4-trichloromethyl-4-methylnaphthyl-6-triazine, 2-(o-chlorophenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 2-(o-chlorophenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, etc. 2-Di(m-methoxyphenyl)imidazolium dimer, 2-(o-fluorophenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 2-(o-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 2-(o-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 2,4-di(p-methoxyphenyl)-5-phenylimidazolium dimer, 2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 2-(p-methylmercapto) phenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium dimer, 1-[9-ethyl-6-(2-methylbenzoyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl]-(O-acetylgoxime), benzophenone, p-(diethylamino)benzophenone, 2,2-dichloro-4-phenoxyacetophenone, 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, 2-dodecylthioxanthone, 2,4-dimethylthioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2,2-bis-2-chlorophenyl-4 5,4,5-Tetraphenyl-2-1,2-diimidazole, (E)-2-(acetoxyimino)-1-(9,9-diethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)butanone, (E)-1-(9,9-dibutyl-7-nitro-9H-fluoren-2-yl)acetone-O-acetyl oxime, (Z)-2-(acetoxyimino)-1-(9,9-diethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)acetone, Irgacure Compounds in the group consisting of 369, Irgacure 651, Irgacure 907, Darocur TPO, Irgacure 819, OXE-01, OXE-02, OXE-03, OXE-04, Idico N-1919, NCI-831 and NCI-930, and others, may also be widely used as photopolymerization initiators known in the art, without any other limitations.
[0066] Based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the photopolymerizable composition may contain 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator. As another example, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the photopolymerization initiator may contain 0.6 to 28% by weight and 1 to 25% by weight. If the content of the photopolymerization initiator becomes too low, photocuring may not proceed smoothly. On the other hand, if the content of the photopolymerization initiator becomes too high, the cumulative transmittance of the cured film, etc., may decrease, for example, to below 90%.
[0067] On the other hand, a composition of a specific embodiment, without containing metal oxides, can also achieve an absolute viscosity suitable for inkjet printing processes by using the aforementioned high-refractive-index monomers and highly flexible monomers. Specifically, the absolute viscosity (measured at 25°C) of this photopolymerizable composition can be from 5 cP to 40 cP. Therefore, the composition of a specific embodiment containing these high-refractive-index monomers and highly flexible monomers exhibits excellent inkjet printing performance, as well as excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties, and can form a hardened film with good coating characteristics. Furthermore, through the interaction between the olefin monomer and the metal oxide particles described later, the hardened film and optical components formed using the composition of a specific embodiment can have a high refractive index of 1.58 or higher.
[0068] Incidentally, the absolute viscosity described in this specification refers to the absolute viscosity value measured at 25°C. This absolute viscosity can be measured using a viscometer well-known in the field, such as a Brinell viscometer.
[0069] On the other hand, a photopolymerizable composition of a specific embodiment may further include one or more selected from the group consisting of d) amine enhancers having amine and photocurable functional groups, e) photosensitizers and f) surfactants. The further inclusion of any one or more of the above-described components d) to f) as additives can help the photopolymerizable composition achieve its physical properties more effectively.
[0070] First, the photopolymerizable composition of one specific embodiment may include an amine synergist having amine groups and photocurable functional groups. With this amine synergist, during the photocuring of the composition of one specific embodiment to form a hardened film and optical components, the amine groups contained therein capture oxygen free radicals in the air, thereby promoting the reaction of the initiator. Furthermore, the photocurable functional groups in the amine synergist can form crosslinking bonds with the monomer. Under the action of this amine synergist, the hardened film and optical components formed from the composition of one specific embodiment can exhibit high surface hardening, thereby exhibiting excellent optical properties such as low haze and improved light transmittance.
[0071] The amine enhancer may comprise one of compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds having at least three amine groups and photopolymerizable acrylate groups in their molecules.
[0072] Specifically, as the amine enhancer, any compound that has a functional group, together with the amine group in the molecule, capable of forming a cross-linking bond with the photocurable functional group, such as the photocurable functional group of the aforementioned monomer, can be used. In a more specific example, the functional group is the same type of photocurable functional group as the monomer, which may be a (meth)acrylate group. Furthermore, in order to more effectively capture oxygen free radicals and the like to further improve the surface hardness of the hardened film, the amine enhancer more preferably contains a tertiary amine structure or higher in the molecule.
[0073] Specific examples of such amine reinforcing agents include compounds selected from those of chemical formula 11, namely ethyl dimethylaminobenzoate, butoxyethyl dimethylaminobenzoate, bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, bis(2-hydroethyl)-toluidine, ethylhexyl-(dimethylamino)benzoate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl(meth)acrylate, diethylaminoethyl(meth)acrylate, 2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl(meth)acrylate, and 4-(dimethylamino)ethyl(meth)acrylate. It may be one or more of the group consisting of 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl4-(dimethylamino)benzoate, 2-ethylhexyl4-(dimethylamino)benzoate, 4,4-(ethyl2-(dibutylamino)methylacrylate) and 4,4-(oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy)bis(dimethylaniline)), in addition to which various compounds having amine and photocurable functional groups may also be used.
[0074] [Chemical Formula 11]
[0075] In the above chemical formula 11, R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R3 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an ether group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, an amino group, or a (meth)acrylate group.
[0076] Alternatively, commercially available photocurable amine compounds can be used as amine enhancers. Examples of such commercial compounds include P115 (supplied by SK Cytec), MIRAMER AS2010 (supplied by Miwon Commercial Co., Ltd.), or MIRAMER AS5142 (supplied by Miwon Commercial Co., Ltd.).
[0077] In addition, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the photopolymerizable composition may also contain 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of an amine reinforcing agent. As another example, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the amine reinforcing agent (d) may contain 0.5 to 9 parts by weight. If the content of the amine reinforcing agent becomes too low, the surface hardening degree will decrease, and the haze of the hardened film and optical components may increase. On the other hand, if the content of the amine reinforcing agent becomes too high, the viscosity of the photopolymerizable composition will become too high, which may lead to a decrease in processability or a decrease in the refractive index of the hardened film, etc.
[0078] The e) photosensitizer is included in the photopolymerizable composition, which further increases the curing properties of the high refractive index monomer and the high flexibility monomer, thereby giving the effect of improving the haze properties and increasing sensitivity.
[0079] The photosensitizer may be selected from one or more of the group consisting of isopropyl thioxanthone, pyrene, perylene, triphenylene, anthracene, 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene, 9,10-diethoxyanthracene, 3,7-dimethoxyanthracene, and 9,10-dipropyloxyanthracene.
[0080] Based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the photopolymerizable composition may also contain 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a photosensitizer. As another example, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the photosensitizer (e) may contain 0.5 to 9 parts by weight. If the content of the photosensitizer becomes too low, it will not help improve the surface hardening degree. On the other hand, if the content of the photosensitizer becomes too high, the viscosity of the photopolymerizable composition will become too high, resulting in decreased processability or decreased transmittance of the hardened film, etc.
[0081] The surfactant can improve film thickness uniformity or surface smoothness.
[0082] The surfactant may include one or more species selected from the group consisting of silicon-based and fluorine-based surfactants.
[0083] Based on a total of 100 parts by weight of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the surfactant (f) may contain 0.1 to 5 parts by weight. If the content of the surfactant becomes too low, problems such as poor film thickness uniformity or surface smoothness may occur. On the other hand, if the content of the surfactant becomes too high, problems such as the generation of bubbles in the film or a decrease in inkjet characteristics may occur.
[0084] On the other hand, for a specific embodiment of the photopolymerizable composition, in addition to the components described above, a dispersant may also be included as needed. The inclusion of such a dispersant in the photopolymerizable composition can improve the dispersion stability of the other components.
[0085] There are no particular restrictions on the type of dispersant; any known dispersant that can improve dispersibility can be used. Examples of such dispersants include one or more selected from the group consisting of acrylic dispersants, epoxy dispersants, and silicone dispersants.
[0086] Based on a total of 100 parts by weight of the high-refractive-index monomer and the high-flexibility monomer, the dispersant may contain 0.1 to 30 parts by weight or 0.5 to 20 parts by weight. Depending on the content of the dispersant, the components are more uniformly dispersed, thereby more effectively achieving the desired refractive index range of the hardened film. However, if the content of the dispersant becomes too high, the viscosity of the photopolymerizable composition increases, which may reduce the inkjet processability.
[0087] Furthermore, the composition of the above-described specific embodiment can be formulated as a solvent-free composition that does not contain other solvents or liquid media. This further improves the processability of using the composition of this specific embodiment.
[0088] For a specific embodiment of the photopolymerizable composition containing the above-mentioned components, the absolute viscosity (measured at 25°C) can be from 5 cP to 40 cP or from 5 cP to 30 cP. This absolute viscosity can be measured using a known viscometer such as a Brinell viscometer. When the photopolymerizable composition of a specific embodiment meets such a viscosity range, a hardened film with excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties can be formed, exhibiting not only excellent inkjet processability but also good coating properties based on the inkjet process.
[0089] If the viscosity of the final composition becomes too low, the dispensing characteristics may decrease due to nozzle drying and clogging. Conversely, if the viscosity of the composition is too high, there may be issues with reduced dispensing volume or failure to form patterns and surfaces.
[0090] On the other hand, according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a cured film comprising a cured material containing the above-mentioned photopolymerizable composition and an optical component comprising the cured film are provided. Such an optical component may comprise a substrate; and the cured film formed on the substrate. Furthermore, the cured film is formed by photocuring a photopolymerizable composition, as described in one embodiment, onto a substrate via an inkjet process. Therefore, it may primarily comprise a cured material containing a polymer having units crosslinked with photocurable functional groups of the olefin monomer and amine reinforcing agent, a dispersant dispersed on the polymer, and a metal oxide.
[0091] More specifically, the cured material comprises an olefin resin formed by curing crosslinking of a high-refractive-index monomer and a highly flexible monomer, the olefin resin optionally being further crosslinked with the photocurable functional groups of the amine reinforcing agent. Furthermore, the olefin resin, together with one or more selected from the group consisting of the aforementioned photosensitizers and surfactants, can improve photopolymerizability and film properties. In this case, the olefin resin is a polymer formed by crosslinking and polymerizing one or more high-refractive-index monomers having photocurable functional groups and one or more highly flexible monomers; its form is not limited, and depending on the type of monomer and the mechanism of the polymerization reaction, it can be in various forms such as homopolymers, block copolymers, random copolymers, or graft copolymers.
[0092] On the other hand, according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an optical component may be provided, comprising: a substrate; and a hardened film comprising a hardened form of the aforementioned highly flexible photopolymerizable composition for inkjet printing.
[0093] Since the aforementioned hardened film containing the hardener is formed using a photopolymerizable composition having a viscosity suitable for inkjet printing processes in a specific embodiment, it exhibits excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, and good coating characteristics. Furthermore, the hardened film can have a haze of 3% or less, a refractive index of 1.58 or more, and an elongation of 5% or more.
[0094] Specifically, for this hardened film, with a wavelength of 565 nm as a reference, the refractive index after photopolymerization can be 1.58 or higher. More specifically, the hardened film can have a high refractive index, which can be 1.6 or higher, or 1.6 to 2.0, or 1.6 to 1.65. In this case, the refractive index can be measured using an ellipsometer at a wavelength of 555 to 575 nm (average).
[0095] In addition, the amine enhancer exhibits high surface hardening, such as low haze and excellent light transmittance and visibility, with haze of less than 3%, less than 1%, 0 to 1%, 0.01 to 0.8%, or 0.1 to 0.3%.
[0096] In addition, for this hardened film, a dog bone-shaped specimen (28mm x 4mm) was prepared by peeling a 20μm thick film from the plain glass. The elongation was then measured by using the tensile stress-strain curve measured by Instron's UTM. The elongation could be 5% or more, or 5 to 10%, or 10% or more.
[0097] In the aforementioned optical components, a well-known substrate such as plain glass can be used as the substrate.
[0098] Furthermore, this optical component can be manufactured by applying the photopolymerizable composition of the above-described specific embodiment to the substrate using a mayer bar, a coating applicator, or an inkjet printer, and then photocuring it, for example, by exposure to an LED lamp or a metal halide lamp in an air environment. In this case, the photopolymerizable composition can be photocured after being coated into a single film, thereby forming an optical component in the form of a general optical film. Alternatively, it can be photocured after being coated with an inkjet printer into a patterned shape as needed. In this case, the optical component can be formed as a patterned film on the substrate, for example, a patterned film with a patterned polyhedral structure such as a prism.
[0099] Optical components such as optical films or patterned films mentioned above can have a general thickness, depending on their type or the structure of the display element to which they are applied, for example, a thickness that can be adjusted in the range of 0.01 μm to 1000 μm.
[0100] Furthermore, for this optical component, the sensitivity value can be below 3 J, and the transmittance can be above 90%. This sensitivity can be measured by comparing the absorbance measurements before and after exposure using an FT-IR spectrophotometer. More specifically, the conversion efficiency is calculated by integrating the C=O peak at 1650–1750 cm⁻¹ and the C=C peak at 780–880 cm⁻¹; the sensitivity refers to the exposure at which saturation occurs with a conversion efficiency of 80% or higher. Additionally, the transmittance refers to the average transmittance measured for optical components such as optical films using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer at wavelengths between 380 and 780 nm.
[0101] Furthermore, for this optical film, when heated from room temperature to 900°C at a rate of 10°C per minute, the temperature at which a 5% weight loss is measured by TGA is above 270°C, thus demonstrating excellent heat resistance.
[0102] The optical components of other specific embodiments of the aforementioned optical films or patterned films satisfy excellent optical properties, heat resistance, and mechanical properties, and therefore can be applied to various display devices, making a significant contribution to improving performance.
[0103] Therefore, according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, a display device including the optical component is provided.
[0104] The structure of a display device that uses optical components such as optical films or patterned films may have conventional structures well known in the art, in addition to using optical components of the other specific embodiments described above, and therefore its detailed description is omitted.
[0105] The following examples are provided to aid in understanding the present invention. However, the following examples are merely illustrative and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0114] In addition, the components were mixed according to the components in Tables 6 to 14 below to prepare the photopolymerizable compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples. In Tables 6 to 14, the units of content are parts by weight.
[0115] After the photopolymerizable components are placed into an inkjet printer, they are coated onto bare glass to form a single film with a thickness of 20 μm.
[0116] Then, a single film was irradiated with an LED 385nm curing machine at an exposure dose of 1.5 J / cm² to prepare a cured coating containing photopolymerizable components. This coating (thickness: 20 μm) was provided as an optical film. However, when measuring the refractive index, a 2 μm coating was provided by spin coating.

[0126] [Experimental Example]
[0127] For the optical films prepared in the examples, comparative examples and reference examples, the refractive index, haze and viscosity and other physical properties were measured by the following methods, and the results are shown in Tables 15 to 22.
[0128] *Methods for determining the physical properties of optical films
[0129] 1) Sensitivity The absorbance was measured by comparing the results before and after exposure using an FT-IR spectrophotometer. The conversion efficiency was calculated by integrating the C=O peak at 1650–1750 cm⁻¹ and the C=C peak at 780–880 cm⁻¹. Sensitivity refers to the exposure at which saturation occurs with a conversion efficiency of 80% or higher. determination ○: Sensitivity values below 3J X: Sensitivity value greater than 3J
[0130] 2) Refractive index For the unrefined glass with the above-mentioned 2μm coating, the refractive index (555~575nm, average: 565nm wavelength) was measured using an ellipsometry. determination ◎: The measured refractive index of the coating is 1.61 or higher. ○: The measured refractive index of the coating is 1.58 or higher and less than 1.61. X: Cases where the measured refractive index of the coating is less than 1.58.
[0131] 3) Transmittance The average transmittance of the formed coating was measured using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer (Cary 4000, Agilent) at a range of 380–780 nm. determination ○: Cases where the average transmittance is 90% or higher X: Case where the average transmittance value is less than 90%.
[0132] 4) Haze The haze was measured using a NIPPON DENSHOKU COH 400 haze meter. determination ◎: Cases where the haze measurement value is less than 1.0 ○: Cases where the haze measurement value is between 1.0 and 3.0 or below. X: Haze measurement value greater than 3.0
[0133] 5) Viscosity (absolute viscosity) The viscosity of each photopolymerizable component or olefin monomer in the above reference examples and embodiments was measured using a viscometer (trade name: Brook Field viscometer) at a temperature of 25°C. determination ○: Cases with viscosity values of 5 to 40 cP X: Viscosity values exceeding the above range
[0134] 6) Inkjet characteristics Change the nozzle temperature of the inkjet equipment and confirm whether a surface is formed. determination The surface formed at a nozzle temperature of 25 to 35°C = ◎ The surface formed at a nozzle temperature of 35 to 50°C is ○. No surface is formed at nozzle temperatures between 25 and 50°C = X
[0135] 7) Flexible For flexibility, measurements were performed using an Instron UTM. Specifically, a fabrication with a thickness of 20 μm and dimensions of 28 mm x 4 mm was prepared, and the tensile strain was measured using an Instron UTM. Elongation was then evaluated using the tensile stress-strain curve obtained from the tensile strain. determination ◎: Tensile Strain is 10% or more (meaning the elongation measured by the tensile stress-strain curve is 10% or more). ○: Tensile Strain is 5% or more but less than 10% (meaning the elongation measured by the tensile stress-strain curve is 5% or more but less than 10%). △: Tensile Strain is 1% or more but less than 5% (meaning the elongation measured by the tensile stress-strain curve is 1% or more but less than 5%). X: Tensile Strain less than 1% (meaning the elongation measured by the tensile stress-strain curve is less than 1%)

[0144] From the results in Tables 15 to 22 above, Examples 1 to 309, with their optimal composition including a high-refractive-index monomer, a highly flexible monomer that prevents cracking, and a photoinitiator, exhibit higher refractive index, better viscosity, and lower haze compared to the comparative and reference examples. In particular, compared to the comparative and reference examples, these examples demonstrate superior flexibility, and exhibit excellent sensitivity, transmittance, heat resistance, and inkjet processability. When used as optical components in foldable or flexible display devices, they can help improve performance. Specifically, Comparative Example 1, without the use of a highly flexible monomer, failed to exhibit softness. Furthermore, due to insufficient or excessive photoinitiator content, the sensitivity of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 could not be measured, or initiator precipitation prevented the measurement of physical properties.
