Abstract

The present application relates to an encapsulation film and an organic electronic device including the encapsulation film, and provides an encapsulation film and an organic electronic device which effectively prevents the penetration of moisture or oxygen from the outside into the organic electronic device and also achieves the light diffusion and extraction effects.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An encapsulation film comprising an encapsulating layer which comprises an encapsulation resin, a hygroscopic filler at 1 to 40 parts by weight, and a non-hygroscopic filler at 1 to 10 parts by weight, and has a water vapor transmission rate of 50 g/m 2 ·day or less in a thickness direction when the encapsulating layer is cured to have a thickness of 100 μm,
wherein a light transmittance of the encapsulation film is 80% or more with respect to a visible light region, and a haze of the encapsulation film is 50% or more.

2 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulating layer comprises a first layer having the hygroscopic filler and a second layer having the non-hygroscopic filler.

3 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the hygroscopic filler is in a range of 10 nm to 5 μm.

4 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein the hygroscopic filler is one or more selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide, a metal salt, and phosphorus pentoxide.

5 . The encapsulation film of claim 4 , wherein the hygroscopic filler is one or more selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, CaCl 2 , CaCO 3 , CaZrO 3 , CaTiO 3 , SiO 2 , Ca 2 SiO 4 , MgCl 2 , P 2 O 5 , Li 2 O, Na 2 O, BaO, Li 2 SO 4 , Na 2 SO 4 , CaSO 4 , MgSO 4 , CoSO 4 , Ga 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , Ti(SO 4 ) 2 , NiSO 4 , SrCl 2 , YCl 3 , CuCl 2 , CsF, TaF 5 , NbF 5 , LiBr, CaBr 2 , CeBr 3 , SeBr 4 , VBr 3 , MgBr 2 , BaI 2 , MgI 2 , Ba(ClO 4 ) 2 and Mg(ClO 4 ) 2 .

6 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the non-hygroscopic filler is in a range of 500 nm to 10 μm.

7 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein a refractive index difference between the encapsulation resin and the non-hygroscopic filler is in a range of 0.1 to 1.0.

8 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein the non-hygroscopic filler comprises titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), zinc sulfide (ZnS), cadmium sulfide (CdS), silica, talc, zeolite, titania, zirconia, montmorillonite, or clay.

9 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation resin is an acrylic resin, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a fluorine resin, a styrene resin, a polyolefin resin, a thermoplastic elastomer, a polyoxyalkylene resin, a polyester resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polycarbonate resin, a polyphenylene sulfide resin, a polyamide resin, or a mixture thereof.

10 . The encapsulation film of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulating layer further comprises a dispersant.

11 . The encapsulation film of claim 10 , wherein the dispersant is one or more selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, octyl glucoside, decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside.

12 . The encapsulation film of claim 10 , wherein the dispersant is included at 0.1 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the hygroscopic filler and the non-hygroscopic filler.

13 . An organic electronic device comprising:
a substrate; an organic electronic element formed on one surface of the substrate; and the encapsulation film according to claim 1 , formed on the other surface of the substrate.

14 . The organic electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the organic electronic element is an organic light emitting diode.

15 . The organic electronic device of claim 13 , further comprising a moisture barrier layer formed on the organic electronic element.

16 . A method of manufacturing an organic electronic device, comprising:
forming an organic electronic element on one surface of a substrate; and forming the encapsulation film according to claim 1 on the other surface of the substrate.
