Abstract

A resin composition for sealing an electronic device and other things being capable of suppressing the permeation of water vapor is provided. The present invention includes a polybutadiene polymer represented by chemical formula (1) and having a (meth)acryloyl group at a terminal end; and a photopolymerization initiator, and does not include a thermoplastic resin having a mass-average molecular weight of 50,000 or more:

wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent a hydroxyl group or H 2 C═C(R 7 )—COO—; R 3 and R 4 each represent a C1-C16 substituted or unsubstituted divalent organic group; R 5 , R 6 and R 7 each represent a hydrogen atom or a C1-C10 alkyl group, and at least one organic group represented by chemical formula (2) is included within chemical formula (1); l and m each represent 0 or 1; n represents an integer of 15-150; and x:y=0 to 100:100 to 0; R 1 and R 2 are never both a hydroxyl group.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A resin composition for sealing an electronic device, the resin composition comprising:
(A) a polybutadiene polymer represented by formula (1) and having a (meth)acryloyl group at a terminal end thereof;
(B) a photopolymerization initiator;
(C) a reactive diluent, wherein a mass ratio between the component (A) and the component (C), (A):(C), is 5:95 to 50:50; and
(D) a hydrocarbon compound having a number average molecular weight of less than 50,000, wherein a mass ratio of the sum of the component (A) and the component (C) to the component (D), [(A)+(C)]:(D), is 20:80 to 70:30; and
wherein the resin composition does not include a thermoplastic resin having a mass average molecular weight of 50,000 or more:

wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydroxyl group or H 2 C═C(R 7 )—COO— provided that R 1 and R 2 do not represent hydroxyl groups at the same time; R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted divalent organic group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms and at least one of R 3 and R 4 comprises a group of formula (2); R 5 , R 6 and R 7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; l and m each independently represent 0 or 1; n represents an integer from 15 to 150; and the ratio x:y is such that x:y=0 to 100:100 to 0

2. The resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon compound of the component (D) comprises at least (d1) a hydrocarbon-based softening agent and (d2) a hydrocarbon-based tackifier, and the mass ratio between the component (d1) and the component (d2), (d1):(d2), is 20:80 to 80:20.

3. The resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the reactive diluent (C) is a bifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer.

4. The resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon-based softening agent (d1) is polybutene and/or polyisobutylene.

5. The resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon-based tackifier (d2) is a hydrogenated petroleum resin.

6. The resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the polybutadiene polymer has 50% or more of the unsaturated bonds in the butadiene skeleton hydrogenated.

7. An electronic device sealed with a sealing material comprising the resin composition for sealing an electronic device according to claim 1 .

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is flexible.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is an organic device comprising an organic active component part, wherein the sealing material is disposed on, above, or around the organic active component part.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the organic device is an organic electroluminescent device, and the organic active component part comprises an anode, a light emitting layer, and a cathode.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is a touch screen comprising a substrate formed from glass or a polymer, and a substantially transparent electroconductive metal disposed on the substrate, wherein the sealing material is disposed on, above, or around the electroconductive metal.

12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is a photovoltaic device comprising a photovoltaic cell or a photovoltaic cell array, wherein the sealing material is disposed on, above, or around the photovoltaic cell or any one photovoltaic cell in the photovoltaic cell array.

13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic device is a thin film transistor comprising a semiconductor layer, wherein the sealing material is disposed on, above, or around the semiconductor layer.
