  • Patent number: 8735511
    Abstract: A curing resin composition that cures in two stages: photo cure and thermal cure, hardly contaminates a liquid or liquid crystals when in contact with, and provides high adhesive strength, particularly a curing composition that photocures sufficiently even when shadowed by TFT wires, a black matrix, etc. in photocuring; and a sealant, a sealant for ODF (one-drop-fill), and an LCD containing the curing resin composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Adeka Corporation
    Inventors: Hirokatsu Shinano, Hiroya Fukunaga, Kazuyuki Itano
  • Patent number: 8410188
    Abstract: A sealant for a one drop fill process is characterized by curing through two steps consisting of photocure using visible light from which 400 nm or shorter wavelengths are cut off and thermal cure and, when in contact with a liquid crystal composition, is less contaminating to the liquid crystal composition with a photo radical initiator, and exhibits high adhesive strength to a substrate. The sealant contains (1) a titanocene photo radical initiator, (2) a photocuring resin, (3) a latent epoxy curing agent and, if necessary, (4) a monomer having at least two glycidyl ether groups per molecule as a thermosetting resin.

  • Patent number: 7919009
    Abstract: A polymerizable compound represented by general formula (1) of the invention has good solvent solubility and excellent alignment control properties and optical characteristics. In formula (1), M1 and M2 are each hydrogen or methyl; X1 and X2 are each a single bond, or an optionally branched C1-10 alkylene, alkyleneoxy or alkyleneoxycarbonyloxy; X3 is optionally branched C1-10 alkylene; Y1 and Y2 are each an ester linkage, etc.; and rings A, B, C, and D are each a cyclic structure, such as 2,6-naphthlene.
