  • Patent number: 11739168
    Abstract: Conventionally, a photocurable composition to which an ultraviolet absorber is added is difficult to form a colorless and transparent cured resin because the ultraviolet absorber itself is colored, and thus the photocurable composition is hardly to be used in a display apparatus required for colorlessness and transparency. Provided is a photocurable composition including a specific compound, wherein a light transmittance of 385 nm is 50% or less and a yellowness index is 3.0 or less in a state in which a cured resin having a thickness of 200 ?m or less is interposed between alkali free glass plates each having a thickness of 0.7 mm.

  • Publication number: 20150137089
    Abstract: [Problem] A conventional sheet-like adhesive has low adhesion to an adherend and, at the same time, is required to be heated at a high temperature of 100° C. or higher when adhered to an adherend, and hence, when an adherend is an electronic part with deterioration by a high temperature, damage to the adherend is large. In addition, since a sheet-like adhesive in the B-stage hardly exhibited flowability when heating, bubbles may be remained when there is unevenness on an adherend. [Solution] A heat curable sheet-like adhesive for an organic EL panel, comprising components (A) to (C), which has tack in the surface of a composition comprising the components (A) to (C) at 25° C.: the component (A): a film forming component having an epoxy equivalent of 7000 to 20000 g/eq and having compatibility with the component (B); the component (B): an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of 150 to 5000 g/eq and comprising 0 to 20% by weight of a solid epoxy resin at 25° C.
