Patent Application
20220109126
The present application relates to a surface protective film and a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device using the surface protective film.
A plastic substrate used as a substrate material for a flexible display has a problem in that gas barrier characteristics of moisture, oxygen, and the like are remarkably low. Thus, in the related art, the problem of the plastic substrate is alleviated by forming a barrier film to which various materials and structures are applied on the substrate.
However, recently, as existing barrier films are no longer used, there is a need for developing a surface protective film for a process capable of protecting a thin film encapsulation (TFE) layer during a process of manufacturing a flexible optical element. A surface protective film for a process is a film that protects a thin film encapsulation layer for a moment, is attached to the thin film encapsulation layer during the process to prevent contamination or damage of the surface of the thin film encapsulation layer during the process, and is removed when the process is completed.
As physical properties required for the surface protective film, first, an adhesive provided on the surface protective film needs to be well attached to the surface of an adherend, and the surface protective film can be removed with a low peel strength during the removing step, so that damage to the adherend should be able to be prevented. Second, after the removal of the surface protective film, the residue of the adhesive is small and contamination of the adherend should be able to be prevented.
In order to reduce the adhesive strength of an adhesive as a urethane-based adhesive in the related art, the adhesive strength is controlled by adding a plasticizer. However, when the plasticizer is added, a low adhesive strength can be realized, but since there occurs a phenomenon (migration) in which the plasticizer is lost by diffusing into other materials which are brought into contact with the surface of a product, it is difficult to realize low residue characteristics due to the occurrence of surface contamination. One objective of the present invention is to provide an adhesive layer in which a small amount of residue is realized.
An exemplary embodiment of the present specification provides a surface protective film including: a base layer; and an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the base layer, in which the adhesive layer includes a cured product of an adhesive composition including: a urethane polymer; an acrylic polymer; and a curing agent, and a surface opposite to a surface of the adhesive layer on which the base layer is provided has a residual adhesion rate of 80% or more.
Another exemplary embodiment of the present specification provides a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device, the method including: attaching an adhesive layer of the above-described surface protective film onto an encapsulation layer of an organic light emitting element.
The present invention provides an adhesive layer in which a residual amount of adhesive on the surface of an adherend is small after the adhesive is removed, and thus damage to or contamination of the surface of the adherend is minimized after the adhesive is detached.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, the surface opposite to the surface of the adhesive layer on which the base layer is provided has a residual adhesion rate of 80% or more; 85% or more; 90% or more; or 92% or more. Since the adhesive layer is formed by cross-linkage of a urethane polymer and an acrylic polymer through a curing agent, the residual adhesion rate as described above may be realized.
In the surface protective film according to an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, the surface opposite to the surface of the adhesive layer on which the base layer is provided has a residual adhesion rate of 100% or less. A residual adhesion rate of 100% means that there is no residual amount of an adhesive layer.

The type of base film is not particularly limited. As the base film, it is possible to use, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a polytetrafluoroethylene film, a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, a polybutene film, a polybutadiene film, a vinyl chloride copolymer film, a polyurethane film, an ethylene-vinyl acetate film, an ethylene-propylene copolymer film, an ethylene-acrylic acid ethyl copolymer film, an ethylene-acrylic acid methyl copolymer film, a polyimide film, and the like, but the base film is not limited thereto. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the base film may be a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film.
The thickness of the base film may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application. For example, the thickness of the base film may be 25 μm or more and 150 μm or less; 50 μm or more and 125 μm or less; or 50 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the range of the base film is in less than the above thickness range at the time of laminating the surface protective film to the encapsulation layer of the organic light emitting element, there is a concern in that the base film is easily deformed, and when the range of the base film is in more than the above thickness range, lamination defect may occur.
The base film may have been subjected to an appropriate adhesive treatment such as, for example, a corona discharge treatment, an ultraviolet irradiation treatment, a plasma treatment, or a sputter etching treatment, but the treatment is not limited thereto.
In an exemplary embodiment, the base film may be directly attached to a first and/or second anti-static layer. In another exemplary embodiment, when the base film is surface-treated, a first and/or second anti-static layer may be attached to the surface-treated base film.
In the present specification, the term ‘anti-static layer’ means a layer intended to suppress the generation of static electricity.
The first to fourth anti-static layers may be formed by a publicly known method in order to achieve a desired effect. For example, the first to fourth anti-static layers may be formed on both surfaces of the base film and both surfaces of the protective film by an in-line coating method.
In the present invention, the first to fourth anti-static layers may be formed of an appropriate anti-static composition in consideration of the purpose of the present application. For example, the first to fourth anti-static layers may include one or a mixture thereof selected from the group consisting of an acrylic resin, a urethane-based resin, a urethane-acrylic copolymer, an ester-based resin, an ether-based resin, an amide-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, and a melamine resin, but are not limited thereto.
In one example, the first to fourth anti-static layers may include a conductive material. The conductive material may include a conductive polymer or carbon nanotube, but is not limited thereto.
The conductive polymer may consist of, for example, a polyaniline-, polypyrrole-, polythiophene-based polymer, a derivative thereof, and a copolymer thereof, but is not limited thereto.
The carbon nanotube may have a tubular form produced by rolling a graphite plate formed by connecting hexagonal rings each consisting of 6 carbon atoms. The carbon nanotube is excellent in rigidity and electrical conductivity, so that when the carbon nanotube is used as an anti-static layer of a surface protective film, the hardness of the anti-static layer may be increased, and the anti-static function may be improved.
The thicknesses of the first to fourth anti-static layers may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application, and the thicknesses of the respective anti-static layers may be the same as or different from each other.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first to fourth anti-static layers may each independently have a thickness of 10 nm or more and 400 nm or less, preferably 20 nm or more and 300 nm or less; or 20 nm or more and 100 nm or less. The first to fourth anti-static layers may have a thickness within the above-described range, so that both surfaces of the base film or both surfaces of the protective film may have excellent coatability.
In an exemplary embodiment, the surface resistances of the first to fourth anti-static layers may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application. For example, the surface resistances of the first to fourth anti-static layers are each independently 104 Ω/sq or more; 103 Ω/sq or more; 106 Ω/sq or more; 107 Ω/sq or more; 108 Ω/sq or more; or 109 Ω/sq or more. For example, the surface resistances of the first to fourth anti-static layers may be each independently 5×1012 Ω/sq or less; or 1011 Ω/sq or less. When the first to fourth anti-static layers have a surface resistance within the above-described range, the surface protective film may have an excellent anti-static function.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first and second anti-static layers are directly brought into contact with both surfaces of the base film, respectively. In an exemplary embodiment, the third and fourth anti-static layers are directly brought into contact with both surfaces of the protective film, respectively.
The adhesive layer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be provided while being brought into contact with one surface of the second anti-static layer, thereby reducing a cumulative amount of static electricity. Further, since the surface resistance of the adhesive layer is reduced, the generation of static electricity on the surface of the adhesive layer is reduced when the protective layer is peeled off from the surface protective film.
Thus, when the protective layer is removed from the surface protective film, or the surface protective film is peeled off from the surface of the adherend in order to attach the adhesive layer to the surface of the adherend, it is possible to prevent foreign materials which may be attached to the adhesive layer or adherend by static electricity. Further, it is possible to prevent characteristics of the surface of the adherend from deteriorating by preventing contamination of the surface of the adherend during the process.
In the present invention, the thickness of the adhesive layer may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application. For example, the adhesive layer may have a thickness of 10 μm or more; 30 μm or more; or 45 μm or more. For example, the adhesive layer may have a thickness of 200 μm or less; 150 μm or less; 100 μm or less; or 90 μm or less.
By setting the thickness of the adhesive layer in the above range, the adhesiveness and wettability of the adhesive layer to the surface of the adherend may be improved.
The protective film may include one or more selected from the group consisting of, for example, polyethylene terephthalate; polytetrafluoroethylene; polyethylene; polypropylene; polybutene; polybutadiene; a vinyly chloride copolymer; polyurethane; ethylene-vinyl acetate; an ethylene-propylene copolymer; an ethylene-acrylic acid ethyl copolymer; an ethylene-acrylic acid methyl copolymer; polyimide; nylon; a styrene-based resin or elastomer; a polyolefin-based resin or elastomer; other elastomers; a polyoxyalkylene-based resin or elastomer; a polyester-based resin or elastomer; a polyvinyl chloride-based resin or elastomer; a polycarbonate-based resin or elastomer; a polyphenylenesulfide-based resin or elastomer; a hydrocarbon mixture; a polyamide-based resin or elastomer; an acrylate-based resin or elastomer; an epoxy-based resin or elastomer; a silicone-based resin or elastomer; and a liquid crystal polymer, but is not limited thereto.
The thickness of the protective film may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application. The thickness may be, for example, 25 μm or more and 150 μm or less; 25 μm or more and 125 μm or less; or 25 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the thickness of the protective film is in less than the above range, there is a concern in that the protective film is easily deformed at the time of laminating the surface protective film on which an adhesive layer is formed to an encapsulation layer of an organic light emitting element, and when the thickness of the protective film is in more than the above range, lamination defects may occur.
A material for the release layer may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of the present invention. As the material for the release layer, it is possible to use, for example, a silicone-based release agent, a fluorine-based release agent, a long-chain alkyl-based release agent, a fatty acid amide-based release agent, and the like, but the material is not limited thereto. In an exemplary embodiment, as the material for the release layer, a silicone-based release agent may be used.
As the silicone-based release agent, for example, an addition reaction type silicone polymer may be used. The release layer may be formed by applying the material for the release layer to a third anti-static layer and drying the applied material. As a method for coating and drying the material for the release layer, any appropriate coating method may be appropriately used.
The thickness of the release layer may be appropriately selected in consideration of the purpose of the present application. For example, the thickness of the release layer may be 10 nm or more and 500 nm or less; 10 nm or more and 300 nm or less; or 10 nm or more and 200 nm or less. When the release layer does not have the above-described thickness, defects of the film may occur during the process, so that it is preferred to have the above-described thickness.
In an exemplary embodiment, the surface protective film is a surface protective film for protecting a surface of an organic light emitting element during a process of manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device.
In an exemplary embodiment, the adhesive layer of the surface protective film may be used while being attached to the surface of a device to be protected.
In the present specification, the adherend means a material to which the adhesive layer may be adhered. In an exemplary embodiment, the adherend includes an encapsulation layer of an organic light emitting element and a plastic substrate applied to the element, but is not limited thereto.
Another exemplary embodiment of the present specification provides a method for manufacturing a surface protective film. The manufacturing method relates to a method for manufacturing, for example, the above-described surface protective film. Accordingly, the content on the above-described surface protective film may be equally applied to a surface protective film formed by a method for manufacturing a surface protective film to be described below.
In one example, the method for manufacturing a surface protective film includes: preparing a base layer; preparing a protective layer; and joining the base layer and the protective layer by an adhesive layer so as to face each other.
In another example, the method for manufacturing a surface protective film may include: forming a base layer including a base film, and a first anti-static layer and a second anti-static layer respectively provided on both surfaces of the base film; forming a protective layer including a protective film, a third anti-static layer and a fourth anti-static layer respectively provided on both surfaces of the protective film, and a release layer provided on a surface opposite to a surface of the third anti-static layer on which the protective film is provided; and joining the base layer and the protective layer by an adhesive layer, such that the second anti-static layer and the release layer face each other.
In an exemplary embodiment, the method for manufacturing a surface protective film may further include: forming an adhesive layer on one surface of the second anti-static layer of the base layer before the joining of the base layer and the protective layer by the adhesive layer. In this case, the joining of the base layer and the protective layer may be joining the base layer and the protective layer, such that the adhesive layer and the release layer face each other.
The forming of the adhesive layer on one surface of the second anti-static layer of the base layer includes: coating a surface opposite to a surface of the second anti-static layer on which the base film is provided with the adhesive composition; and curing the coated adhesive composition.
As a method for coating the surface with the adhesive composition, it is possible to use a publicly known coating method such as a reverse coating method, a gravure coating method, a spin coating method, a screen coating method, a fountain coating method, a dipping method, and a spray method, but the method is not limited thereto.
The coated adhesive composition may be cured at appropriate temperature for appropriate time. In an exemplary embodiment, the coated adhesive composition may be cured through aging in an oven at 40° C. for about 5 days, but the curing is not limited thereto.
An exemplary embodiment of the present specification provides a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, the method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device includes attaching an adhesive layer of the above-described surface protective film onto an encapsulation layer of an organic light emitting element.
In an exemplary embodiment, when the surface protective film further includes a protective layer, the method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device further includes: removing a protective layer from the surface protective film before the attaching of the adhesive layer onto the encapsulation layer.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present specification, the organic light emitting element sequentially includes a back plate, a plastic substrate, a thin film transistor, an organic light emitting diode, and an encapsulation layer.
The encapsulation layer may exhibit excellent moisture blocking characteristics and optical characteristics in the organic light emitting electronic device. Further, the encapsulation layer may be formed as a stable encapsulation layer regardless of the form of an organic light emitting electronic device such as top emission or bottom emission.
In an exemplary embodiment, the encapsulation layer may include a single layer or multi-layers of an inorganic material layer. As a method for forming the encapsulation layer, a typical method for forming an encapsulation layer known in the art may be applied.
The single layer or multi-layers of an inorganic material layer may include, for example, an aluminum oxide-based inorganic material layer, a silicon nitride-based inorganic material layer, a silicon oxynitride-based inorganic material layer, and the like.
The method for manufacturing an organic light emitting electronic device of the present application may further include: peeling off the surface protective film from the encapsulation layer; and stacking a touch screen panel and a cover window on the encapsulation layer. Since the surface protective film exhibits an excellent anti-static function in an encapsulation layer at the time of being peeled off from the encapsulation layer, defects of an element may be prevented by preventing foreign materials from being attached between the encapsulation layer and the touch screen at the time of joining a touch screen panel onto the encapsulation layer.

Preparation of Surface Protective Film
As a base layer, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film (H330, Kolon Industries, Inc.) having a thickness of 75 μm, in which both surfaces of a base film were respectively coated with an anti-static layer having a thickness of 50 nm, was prepared.

Next, one surface of the base layer was comma-coated with the adhesive composition to have a thickness of 75 μm and dried by hot air, and then a protective layer was laminated onto the adhesive composition, such that the base layer and the release layer faced each other, the protective layer was aged at 40° C. for 5 days, and then a surface protective film was prepared.
Surface protective films in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were prepared in the same manner as in the method for preparing a surface protective film, except that as the adhesive composition, Adhesive Compositions 1 to 5 and Comparative Compositions 1 and 2 were used. Table 1 briefly compares the configurations of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In Table 1, the content of the acrylic polymer is a part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane polymer.
The residual adhesion rates of the surface protective films in the Examples of the present application and the Comparative Examples were evaluated by the following method, and the results are shown in Table 2.
Measurement of Residual Adhesion Rate
A reference adhesive (Ref.) having a peel strength of 1,800±100 gf/in when peeled off from glass at a peel speed of 1.8 m/min and a peel angle of 180° was prepared.
Measurement of Adhesive Strength (B): the adhesive layer of the prepared surface protective film was attached to glass, the glass was stored at 25° C. for 24 hours, and then stored in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 60° C. and a relative humidity of 90% for 10 days. Thereafter, after the film was taken out and left to stand at 25° C. for 24 hours, the surface protective film was removed from glass. This peel strength was defined as Adhesive Strength (B).
Measurement of Adhesive Strength (A): After the adhesive (Ref.) was attached to glass and the glass was stored in an oven at 40° C. for 1 hour, the glass was left to stand at 25° C. for 4 hours, and then a peel strength was evaluated when the adhesive (Ref.) was peeled off from the glass at a peel speed of 1.8 m/min and a peel angle of 180° using a texture analyzer (manufactured by Stable Micro Systems, UK). This peel strength was defined as Adhesive Strength (A).
A residual adhesion rate was obtained by substituting Adhesive Strengths (A) and (B) into the following equation.
Residual adhesion rate (%)=(Adhesive Strength (B)/Adhesive Strength (A))×100
From Table 2, it can be confirmed that when the surface protective film of the present invention is used, the amount of residue from the adhesive layer is small after peeling off the adhesive layer, so that the contamination on the surface of the adherend is low.
