  • Patent number: 7678433
    Abstract: An objective of this application is to provide a sealant for liquid crystals witch is extremely less apt to contaminate liquid crystals and has high adhesion strength. This application discloses a sealant for liquid crystals comprising as essential ingredients (a) a radiation-curable resin represented by the general formula (1): wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a linear, branch or cyclic monovalent alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, m represents an integer of 1 to 4, and may be the same or different, R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and the number n of the repeating units is a positive number in the range of 0 to 20; (b) a photopolymerization initiator; and (c) an inorganic filler having an average particle diameter of 3 ?m or less.

  • Patent number: 7521100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealant for liquid crystals having extremely low contamination nature to a liquid crystal, excellent coatability and bondability to a substrate, long service life and pot life and high adhesive strength. A sealant for liquid crystals of the present invention is characterized by comprising (a) an epoxy resin represented by general formula (1): (wherein a represents an integer of 2 to 4; n represents 0 to 3 (average value); R represents a divalent hydrocarbon group of 2 to 6 carbon atoms; A represents a polyvalent aromatic group; and G represents a glycidyl group, provided that when n is 0, (a) an epoxy resin represented by general formula (1) is a bisphenol S-type.), (b) a thermo-curing agent, (c) and a filler having average particle diameter of not larger than 3 ?m.
