(54)ADHESIVE COMPOSITION, ADHESIVE FILM COMPRISING ADHESIVE COMPOSITION, BACK PLATE FILM COMPRISING ADHESIVE FILM, AND PLASTIC ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY COMPRISING ADHESIVE FILM


(57) The present application relates to an adhesive composition, an adhesive film comprising the same, a backplate film comprising the adhesive film, and a plastic organic light emitting display comprising the adhesive film.




Description

[Technical Field]



[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefits of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0087790, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 27, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application relates to an adhesive composition, an adhesive film comprising the same, a backplate film comprising the adhesive film, and a plastic organic light emitting display comprising the adhesive film.

[Background Art]



[0003] In the art, an adhesive sheet having high adhesive strength from the beginning of adhesion has been known. In addition, when fixing a base using such an adhesive sheet, an adhesive sheet having sufficient adhesive strength is selected in order to fix the base.

[0004] Meanwhile, bubbles generated during a process of bonding the adhesive sheet to the base or unexpected foreign substances may be introduced, which is not preferred in terms of appearance or adhesiveness, and re-adhesion of the adhesive sheet is sometimes required. However, such re-adhesion is difficult in the case of an adhesive sheet with high adhesive strength.

[0005] Therefore, technologies reducing such bubbles have been devised. For example, a technology of forming an uneven surface shape on an adhering surface of a pressure-sensitive adhesive using an embossed liner has been devised. In this case, even when the pressure-sensitive adhesive is bonded to the base and bubbles are mixed into the two, air readily flows out through the surface groove of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and therefore, the bubbles are readily removed without re-adhesion. However, the pressure-sensitive adhesive described above needs to have some thickness in order to form a groove. In addition, when lightly adhering this pressure-sensitive adhesive to a base, the adhered area decreases due to the presence of the groove, and sufficient adhesive strength may not be obtained although work such as rework or position refresh is readily conducted.

[0006] In addition, in order to obtain active bending in addition the re-adhesion work, a part of a panel of a plastic organic light emitting diode (POLED) needs to have a process of removing an adhesive sheet, and low adhesive strength is required in order to remove a part of the adhesive sheet from a substrate during the process.

[0007] However, a general adhesive sheet has high adhesive strength after being laminated to an adhered base such as a substrate, and when removing the adhesive sheet, the panel may be damaged, and particularly, a problem of an increase in the adhesive strength occurs when stored for a long period of time even without going through a specific process.

[0008] Accordingly, in view of the above, development of an adhesive sheet in which low adhesive strength is maintained at the beginning of adhesion, the adhesive strength is maintained low even after adhesion with a base until a process of removing the adhesive sheet, the adhesive strength is also maintained low even when a temperature is raised to a specific temperature, and sufficient adhesive strength required to fix the base is obtained has been required.

[Mode for Disclosure]



[0019] Hereinafter, the present specification will be described in more detail.

[0020] In the present specification, a description of a certain part "including" certain constituents means capable of further comprising other constituents, and does not exclude other constituents unless particularly stated on the contrary.

[0021] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may readily implement the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in various different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0022] One embodiment of the present application provides an adhesive composition comprising a (meth)acrylate-based resin; and a polymer having a melting temperature (Tm) of 60°C or higher, wherein the polymer is a copolymer of a monofunctional polysiloxane and one type of monomer.

[0023] In addition, the adhesive composition of the present application may comprise a curing agent, and one embodiment of the present application provides an adhesive composition comprising a (meth)acrylate-based resin; a polymer having a melting temperature (Tm) of 60°C or higher; and a curing agent, wherein the polymer is a copolymer of a monofunctional polysiloxane and one type of monomer.

[0024] The components of the polymer included in the adhesive composition may be identified through a gas chromatography (GC) analysis, and the composition may each be identified through a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis.

[0025] By the adhesive composition according to one embodiment of the present application comprising a polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher, adhesive strength of an adhesive sheet prepared later on using the same is maintained low, and particularly, adhesive strength is maintained low in a state of high temperature (55°C) as well as in a state of room temperature.

[0026] Particularly, in order to obtain active bending, a part of a panel of a plastic organic light emitting diode (POLED) needs to have a process of removing an adhesive sheet, and a backplate film comprising the adhesive sheet according to the present application is capable of preventing damages on the panel by having a property of maintaining low initial adhesive strength even in a state of high temperature (55°C).

[0027] The adhesive strength being maintained low means that, after laminating the adhesive sheet on an adhered base, there is no difference between adhesive strength at the beginning and adhesive strength after a specific temperature and a specific time.

[0028] The melting temperature according to the present application means a temperature at which a material experiences a phase transition from a solid state to a liquid state. Particularly, in the case of a polymer, significant changes in the three-dimensional structure are obtained at a specific temperature as the polymer is heated, and changes corresponding to a phase transition may be observed, and the temperature herein may be defined as a melting temperature.

[0029] The melting temperature may be measured using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Specifically, it is a value measured by, after approximately 10 mg of a sample is sealed in a dedicated pan and heated under a constant temperature-raising environment, drawing endothermic and exothermic amounts of the material resulting from the occurrence of a phase transition depending on a temperature.

[0030] In the adhesive composition provided in one embodiment of the present application, the monomer is represented by the following Chemical Formula 1.

In Chemical Formula 1,

X is N or O,

R1 is hydrogen or a methyl group, and

n is an integer of 10 to 30.



[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, n of Chemical Formula 1 may be an integer of 10 to 30.

[0032] In another embodiment, n of Chemical Formula 1 may be an integer of 15 to 25.

[0033] In another embodiment, n of Chemical Formula 1 may be an integer of 16 to 24.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, X may be N.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, X may be O.

[0036] In Chemical Formula 1, when the n value is in the above-mentioned range, partial crystallization begins to form due to entanglement between carbon side chains, and as a result, the polymer comprising the same may show a melting temperature (Tm) behavior.

[0037] The following FIG. 4 is a DSC graph of a polymer showing a glass transition temperature (Tg) behavior, and the following FIG. 5 is a DSC graph of a polymer showing a melting temperature (Tm) behavior.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 4, it is identified that, in a polymer showing a glass transition temperature behavior, a phase transition occurs as a temperature is slowly raised for a stable section (Glassy), and the phase transition (Glassy->Rubbery) slowly occurs in a wide range of temperature section. In other words, when comprising a polymer showing a glass transition temperature behavior, variable characteristics may occur, however, since the phase transition temperature section is wide, a phase transition partially occurs when stored for a long period of time in a state of raised temperature (55°C or lower), which results in an increase in the adhesive strength of an adhesive layer causing a result of unfavorable stability over time, and variable characteristics may not be superior as well since the phase transition state is a rubbery state.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 5 on the other hand, it is seen that, in a polymer showing a melting temperature behavior, a rapid phase transition (solid->liquid) occurs at a specific temperature (melting) when slowly raising a temperature for a stable section (solid). In other words, when comprising a polymer showing a melting temperature behavior, a rapid phase transition occurs at a specific temperature value, which may suppress an increase in the adhesive strength (excellent stability over time) since a phase transition does not occur at a temperature lower than a melting temperature, and at a temperature higher than a melting temperature, a phase transition occurs resulting in a rapid increase in the adhesive strength (excellent variable characteristics).

[0040] The polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher means, when copolymerizing the monofunctional polysiloxane and the one type of monomer represented by Chemical Formula 1, a final polymer having a melting temperature value of 60°C or higher.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, the polymer may have a melting temperature of 60°C or higher, 70°C or lower, preferably 68°C or lower, and more preferably 66°C or lower.

[0042] The copolymer means a material obtained by polymerizing two or more types of different monomers, and in the copolymer, two or more types of monomers may be irregularly or regularly arranged.

[0043] The copolymer may comprise a random copolymer having monomers mixed with each other without order, a block copolymer having arranged blocks repeated by a certain section, or an alternating copolymer having monomers alternately repeated and polymerized, and the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher according to one embodiment of the present application may be a random copolymer, a block copolymer or an alternating copolymer.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the monomer represented by Chemical Formula 1 may be behenyl acrylate (BHA) .

[0045] As the monofunctional polysiloxane according to the present application, FM-0721 manufactured by Chisso Corporation, KF2012 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., or the like may be used, however, the monofunctional polysiloxane is not limited thereto.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher may have a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 g/mol to 200,000 g/mol.

[0047] In another embodiment, the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher may have a weight average molecular weight of 30,000 g/mol to 150,000 g/mol, and preferably 30,000 g/mol to 100,000 g/mol.

[0048] When the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher according to the present application has a weight average molecular weight value in the above-mentioned range, molecular arrangements in the polymer are excellent, and properties of low initial adhesive strength are obtained when preparing the adhesive sheet later on.

[0049] The weight average molecular weight is one of an average molecular weight in which a molecular weight is not uniform and a molecular weight of a certain polymer material is used as a standard, and is a value obtained by averaging molecular weights of component molecular species of a polymer compound having molecular weight distribution by a weight fraction.

[0050] The weight average molecular weight may be measured through a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis.

[0051] The polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher may be prepared comprising a thermal polymerization initiator in a polymer composition comprising the monofunctional polysiloxane; the one type of monomer; and a solvent.

[0052] As the solvent, toluene may be used, however, the solvent is not limited thereto as long as it is capable of dissolving the monofunctional polysiloxane and the one type of monomer, and such general organic solvents may be used.

[0056] When the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher according to the present application comprises the monofunctional polysiloxane and the monomer in the above-mentioned parts by weight, the melting temperature value may be properly formed, and accordingly, initial adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet later on at room temperature may be maintained low.

[0057] In the adhesive composition provided in one embodiment of the present application, the adhesive composition comprises the polymer having a melting temperature of 60°C or higher in 1 parts by weight to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the (meth)acrylate-based resin.

[0146] As identified in Table 2, the adhesive sheet comprising the adhesive composition of the present application had low initial adhesive strength by comprising a polymer having a melting temperature (Tm) of 60°C or higher and a (meth)acrylate-based resin. Particularly, as identified in Example 1 and Example 2, it was identified that initial adhesive strength was maintained very low compared to Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. In addition, it was identified that Comparative Example 3 had initial adhesive strength maintained low, however, as identified with late adhesive strength, adhesive strength increased under a high temperature condition (55°C), and stability over time decreased compared to Examples 1 and 2 of the present application. Comparative Example 1 was a case of not using the polymer according to the present application as the adhesive sheet, Comparative Example 2 is a case of using an adhesive sheet having a melting temperature of 36°C as the adhesive sheet, and Comparative Example 3 is a case of using an adhesive sheet having a melting temperature of 48°C as the adhesive sheet.
