Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The insufficient curing of photocurable resin composition between a light shielding layer and an image display member leads to adhesive strength issues, potential separation, and moisture intrusion, causing image quality deterioration in image display devices.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a predetermined amount of a (meth)acrylate monomer with a ring structure into the photocurable resin composition, along with specific mass percentages of acrylic oligomer, plasticizer, and photopolymerization initiator, to achieve a shear storage modulus of 1,000 to 320,000 Pa, thereby suppressing the lifting phenomenon during the manufacturing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If the crosslinking density of the photocurable resin composition is reduced to lower elasticity, then the adherends can be adhered with a smaller bonding pressure, but the lifting phenomenon occurs due to insufficient curing of the outermost surface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the photocurable resin by incorporating specific ring structures (cyclic carbonates, cyclic carboxylic acids, or cyclic anhydrides) in controlled amounts (0.1-10 wt%). This compositional parameter change modifies the curing characteristics to achieve uniform curing throughout the resin layer while maintaining low elasticity, thereby preventing the lifting phenomenon without requiring high bonding pressure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite photocurable resin system by combining multiple components: the base photocurable resin, the ring structure compounds (0.1-10 wt%), and optionally other additives. This composite formulation synergistically achieves both low elasticity for reduced bonding pressure and uniform curing to prevent lifting, resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.
2Strength
If the photocurable resin composition is used to bond the light transmitting optical member and the image display member, then the adhesive strength is sufficient, but the uncured component permeates into the cured resin causing swelling and wrinkles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical composition by adding ring structure compounds (cyclic carbonates, cyclic carboxylic acids, or cyclic anhydrides) in specific amounts (0.1-10 wt%). This compositional change alters the curing kinetics and network structure of the photocurable resin, enabling complete and uniform curing that prevents uncured components from permeating into cured regions, thereby eliminating swelling and wrinkles while maintaining adhesive strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The ring structure compounds act as intermediary substances that mediate the curing process. They facilitate uniform crosslinking throughout the resin layer, preventing the formation of uncured regions that would otherwise allow component permeation and subsequent swelling. This intermediary role resolves the contradiction between achieving sufficient adhesive strength and maintaining compositional stability.

Function Achieved in This Case
The method effectively suppresses resin swelling and lifting phenomena, ensuring strong adhesion and preventing moisture intrusion, thereby enhancing the durability and image quality of the image display devices.
Implementation Method 1
a photocurable resin composition layer is formed by arranging a photocurable resin composition between an image display member such as a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL panel and a light transmitting optical member. Thereafter, the photocurable resin composition layer is cured by irradiating the photocurable resin composition layer with light

AI summary
A method for manufacturing an image display device capable of suppressing lifting phenomenon including: step (A): applying a photocurable resin composition to surfaces of a light transmitting optical member or an image display member forming a photocurable resin composition layer; step (B): irradiating the photocurable resin composition layer with light to form a pre-cured resin layer; step (C): bonding the image display member and the light transmitting optical member via the pre-cured resin layer; step (D): obtaining an image display device by irradiating light to the pre-cured resin layer to final-cure the pre-cured resin layer, thereby laminating the image display member and the light transmitting optical member via the light transmitting cured resin layer.
