Abstract

The present invention provides a color conversion sheet comprising: a first wavelength conversion layer in which an organic phosphor is dispersed in a resin matrix; and an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the first wavelength conversion layer, in which a surface energy of the first wavelength conversion layer is different from a surface energy of the adhesive layer so that the organic phosphor does not diffuse into the adhesive layer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A color conversion sheet comprising:
a first wavelength conversion layer in which an organic phosphor is dispersed in a resin matrix; and
an adhesive layer disposed on one surface of the first wavelength conversion layer, in which a surface energy of the first wavelength conversion layer is different from a surface energy of the adhesive layer so that the organic phosphor does not diffuse into the adhesive layer.

2. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , further comprising a base film may be further included on at least one surface of the first wavelength conversion layer or the adhesive layer.

3. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein a difference between the surface energy of the first wavelength conversion layer and the surface energy of the adhesive layer exceeds 5 mN/m.

4. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein, in the first wavelength conversion layer, organic phosphors of the same color or two or more different colors are dispersed in the resin matrix.

5. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the resin matrix contains at least one of an ester-based resin, an olefin-based resin, an acrylic-based resin, an ether-based resin, an urethane-based resin, a carbonate-based resin, or an imide-based resin.

6. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein a resin contained in the resin matrix has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 1,000 to 50,000 g/mol or a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 50,000 to 2,000,000 g/mol.

7. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the resin matrix has a glass transition temperature of 0 to 120° C.

8. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer contains a resin having a hydrophobic functional group.

9. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer contains a resin, such as a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin, or a UV curable resin and a hydrophobic additive, having a visible light transmittance of 70% or more.

10. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer contains a resin having a hydrophobic functional group, and a hydrophobic additive.

11. The color conversion sheet of claim 10 , wherein the resin having a hydrophobic functional group or the hydrophobic additive contain at least one of single molecules, oligomers, or resins, including a silicon or fluorine element.

12. The color conversion sheet of claim 2 , wherein an adhesion strength of the adhesive layer to the first wavelength conversion layer or the base film is 50 gf/inch or more.

13. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , wherein the organic phosphor is contained in an amount of 0.0001 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of resin solid content of the resin matrix.

14. The color conversion sheet of claim 1 , further comprising a second wavelength conversion layer formed on one surface of the adhesive layer on which the first wavelength conversion layer is not positioned.

15. The color conversion sheet of claim 14 , wherein the second wavelength conversion layer contains an organic phosphor of the same or different color from that of the organic phosphor contained in the first wavelength conversion layer.

16. A backlight unit comprising the color conversion sheet according to claim 1 .
