Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a composition for spacer formation used for color televisions, computer monitors, and other display devices, and a spacer element using the same.

(b) Description of the Related Art

Demand for color liquid crystal displays has been on the increase in recent years, and large liquid crystal displays are being manufactured. However, manufacturing costs should be reduced in order for the color display devices to be used more widely.

Conventionally, a liquid crystal display is manufactured by forming a liquid crystal driving device, such as a TFT (thin film transistor), and a coloring device, such as a color filter, on a pair of opposing transparent insulating substrates. Between the substrates there are spacers that maintains a 3 to 10 μm space therebetween. Liquid crystal is injected in this space, and then the spacing is sealed to form a liquid crystal device.

Conventionally, spherical or cylindrical silica, alumina, or synthetic resin particles randomly distributed between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate have been used as the spacer. But, in this case, the spacer around the light passage of the liquid crystal display may hinder driving of the liquid crystal or deteriorate the display quality due to the optical properties of the spacer itself.

In order to solve this problem, a method of selectively forming a spacer in the black matrix formation part through which no light passes, using a photoresist substance, has been proposed. In this case, the black matrix blocks the display quality-deteriorated part, and thus deterioration of display quality can be avoided.

However, when using a photoresist, the spacer formation process requires many steps including spin coating, pre-baking, exposure, developing, and post-baking of the spacer substance, and therefore the manufacturing cost increases.

To solve this problem, Korea Patent Publication No. 2001-0049941, Japan Patent Publication No. 2001-109002, and Japan Patent Publication No. 2001-83525 proposed a method for selectively forming a spacer on the black matrix through which no light passes, by the inkjet process.

Korea Patent Publication No. 2001-0049941 and Japan Patent Publication No. 2001-83525 proposed a cross-linking spacer-forming substance, which could be sprayed by the inkjet head, and which used a homopolymer or copolymer as a cross-linkable substance. Usage of the substance was limited from 0.01 to 30 parts by weight. During spacer formation, the sprayed solvent is evaporated in the cross-linking step, and only the homopolymer or copolymer forms the spacer. While the diameter of the ink droplet on the substrate surface remains almost the same due to its adhesivity, its height decreases, so that the height of the final spacer becomes significantly lower than that of the ink droplet. Accordingly, the height becomes insufficient for a high-resolution black matrix, which requires a small diameter.

In addition, Japan Patent Publication No. 2001-109002 proposed that it is preferable to use a monomer or oligomer with a low molecular weight, considering the spraying characteristics of the ink, while limiting the content of the solvent under 50 parts by weight and increasing the content of the spacer-forming substance. However, a substance with a low molecular weight does not have sufficient mechanical properties unless it is fully cross-linked, and light exposure or heat treatment for sufficient cross-linking increases manufacturing time and decreases productivity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for forming a spacer having a significantly low viscosity and that is easily inkjet-sprayable by adding a cross-linking agent in an emulsion, which is obtained by dispersing a polymer with a relatively high weight average molecular weight with an emulsifier, so that cross-linking by light exposure or heat treatment can be done in a short time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a spacer formed by using the composition.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a display device comprising the spacer.

To attain these objects, the present invention provides a composition for spacer formation, comprising:

• • a) 10 to 70 parts by weight (dry weight) of a polymer emulsion;
  • b) 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a wetting agent; and
  • c) 20 to 90 parts by weight of a solvent.

The present invention also provides a spacer formed by the composition.

In addition, the present invention provides a display device comprising the spacer formed by the composition on at least one of the two opposing substrates.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for preparing composition for spacer formation having a viscosity of 3 to 50 cp, comprising:

• • a) 10 to 70 parts by weight (dry weight) of a polymer emulsion;
  • b) 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of a wetting agent; and
  • c) 20 to 90 parts by weight of a solvent,
  • wherein the polymer emulsion has a weight average molecular weight of 300 to 50,000,
  • wherein the composition is applied by the inkjet method to form a spacer on one of the two opposing substrates of a display device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the present invention is described in more detail.

The present invention relates to a composition for precisely forming a spacer on one of the two opposing substrates of a display device, by the inkjet method.

Polymer chains of the polymer emulsion used in the present invention are surrounded by an emulsifying agent, not by water, and therefore the polymer emulsion has an almost spherical microstructure. Therefore, there is little entanglement between the polymer chains, differently from the system wherein the polymer chains are disentangled lengthily in a solvent.

Accordingly, a composition using the polymer emulsion has a much lower viscosity than a polymer solution having a comparable concentration and a weight average molecular weight, and therefore spraying by inkjet is much easier. Also, because even a hardly-soluble polymer can be emulsified using an appropriate emulsifying agent, a variety of polymers may be used to prepare the composition. Also, because a polymer with a large weight average molecular weight can be used without significantly increasing the viscosity of the composition, it is possible to prepare the composition having good processability and capacity.

The composition of the present invention comprises a) a polymer emulsion, b) a wetting agent, and c) a solvent.

a) The polymer emulsion of the present invention is the basic material for forming the spacer. It has sufficient hardness and elasticity, superior heat resistance and chemical resistance, and sufficient adhesivity to the substrate surface. Also, it has a sufficiently low viscosity, preferably a viscosity of 3 to 50 cp, so that it can be sprayed by inkjet when prepared as an ink.

Preferably, the polymer emulsion is selected from a group consisting of an acryl emulsion, a urethane acryl emulsion, an epoxy acryl emulsion, a polyester acryl emulsion, and any mixture thereof. However, it is not limited to said polymer emulsions. Preferably, the polymer emulsion has a weight average molecular weight of 300 to 50,000 and the weight average molecular weight is measured by GPC.

Preferably, the polymer emulsion is used at from 10 to 70 parts by weight (dry weight). If the dry solid content of the polymer emulsion is below 10 parts by weight, the final height of the spacer becomes low. Otherwise, if it exceeds 70 parts by weight, it is difficult to obtain a stable emulsion.

b) The wetting agent of the present invention may be selected from a group consisting of: glycols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol; glycerine; ethers of polyhydric alcohols, such as diethylene glycol monobutyl ether; acetates; thioglycol; and amino acids, such as glycine, methyl glycine, lucine, proline, alanine, and phenyl alanine.

Preferably, b) the wetting agent is used from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight. If the content of the wetting agent is below 0.1 part by weight, the composition may become dry around the nozzle, and thus it may not spray. Otherwise, if it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the solid content of the composition decreases, and therefore the final height of the spacer may become low.

Preferably, c) the solvent is selected from a group consisting of water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methylcellosolve, ethylcellosolve, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene glycol diethyl ether, chloroform, methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethene, hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propanol, butanol, t-butanol, cyclohexanone, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, propylene glycol ethyl ether acetate, 3-methoxybutyl acetate, ethyl 3-ethoxy propionate, ethylcellosolve acetate, methylcellosolve acetate, butyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, γ-butyl lactone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, tetramethylsulfone, ethylene glycol acetate, ethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, polyethylene glycol, and cyclohexanone.

Preferably, the solvent is used from 20 to 90 parts by weight. If the content of the solvent is below 20 parts by weight, the viscosity of the composition increases, so that it is not sprayed well. Otherwise, if it exceeds 90 parts by weight, the solid content of the composition decreases, and therefore the final height of the spacer may become low.

The composition of the present invention may further comprise d) a cross-linking initiator and a cross-linking promoter, e) a polymeric compound having unsaturated bonds, or f) other additives to control the inkjet spraying characteristics and the physical properties and form of the spacer. In the case the ideal properties can be obtained with only a) the polymer emulsion, d) the cross-linking initiator and the cross-linking promoter, and e) the polymeric compound having unsaturated bonds, may not be added. That is, if the polymer emulsion has a large weight average molecular weight, the spacer has good physical properties, so that it is not necessary to add a cross-linking initiator and a cross-linking promoter, or a polymeric compound having unsaturated bonds. But, spraying from the inkjet nozzle may be somewhat difficult.

Hereinafter, the present invention is described in more detail through Examples and a Comparative Example. However, the following Examples are only for the understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited by the following Examples.

Example 1

63 parts by weight of Neocryl (Zeneca)(the polymer emulsion having a weight average molecular weight of 34,500); 20 parts by weight of glycerol, 15 parts by weight of water, and 2 parts by weight of CX100 (Zeneca) as a cross-linking emulsion were mixed well to prepare an acryl emulsion, and then filtered with a 2.5-μm filter. The viscosity was 11 cp. The emulsion was sprayed through an inkjet nozzle on a glass substrate on which a transparent electrode or an alignment film was formed. Then, the substrate was dried at 80° C. for 2 minutes to evaporate the solvent, and thermal cross-linking was carried out at 150° C. for 30 minutes. As a result, a spacer with of a diameter of 25 μm and a height of 4 μm was formed. The hardness of the spacer was over 4H.

Example 2

70 parts by weight of Ebeciyl (UCB), 15 parts by weight of glycerol, and 15 parts by weight of water were mixed to prepare an acryl emulsion, and then filtered with a 2.5-μm filter. The viscosity was 15 cp. A spacer was formed as in Example 1, while omitting the thermal cross-linking step. As a result, a spacer with a diameter of 27 μm and a height of 4.5 μm was formed. The hardness of the spacer was over 2H.

Comparative Example

47 parts by weight of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (having a weight average molecular weight of 8,900) as water-soluble monomer, 20 parts by weight of ethoxytrimethylolpropane triacrylate ester, 10 parts by weight of glycerol, 20 parts by weight of water, and 3 parts by weight of Irgacure 2959 (Ciba Specialty Chemicals) as a photo initiator were mixed to prepare a composition by the conventional method, and then filtered with a 2.5-μm filter. The viscosity was 27 cp. The composition was sprayed through an inkjet nozzle on a glass substrate. After 3 minutes of pre-baking at 70° C., UV was irradiated for 3 minutes and post-baking was carried out at 150° C. for 30 minutes. As a result, a spacer with a diameter of 50 μm and a height of 3 μm and a satellite of a meter of 10 μm and a height of 1 μm were formed. The hardness of the spacer was about HB.

Because the composition comprising the polymer emulsions of Examples 1 and 2 had a much lower viscosity than the polymer solution of Comparative Example, spraying by inkjet was easy. Additionally, the spacer formed with the composition comprising the polymer emulsion with a large weight average molecular weight had better mechanical hardness than the spacer formed by the composition comprising the polymer solution. Also, as in Example 2, some spacers showed good hardness without a cross-linking step.

As described above, the composition for spacer formation of the present invention has a significantly low viscosity and can be easily sprayed by inkjet, so that it is useful for spacer formation in a display device such as a liquid crystal display, and an electrochromic device.
