Abstract

Disclosed are an auto-repairing composition for overcoat layer, a method of producing the same, and a display apparatus. The composition for overcoat layer comprising 1-10 wt % of microcapsules based on the total weight of the composition for overcoat layer, said microcapsule including a capsule wall and a capsule core, wherein the capsule wall comprises an alkali-insoluble resin, and the capsule core comprises, based on the total weight of the capsule core, 30-60 wt % of a photo-curable unsaturated oligomer, 30-60 wt % of a photo-polymerizable monomer, 1-10 wt % of a photo-initiator, and 0-5 wt % of additive.

First claim

30-60 wt % of a photo-polymerizable monomer;
1-10 wt % of a photoinitiator; and
0-5 wt % of an additive; and
the composition for overcoat layer further comprises:
1-20 wt % of an epoxy group-containing acrylate resin;
1-20 wt % of a curing agent;
70.5-83.5 wt % of an organic solvent, the organic solvent comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate and 3-ethyl ethoxypropionate; and
0.01-2 wt % of an adjuvant.

2. The composition for overcoat layer of claim 1 , wherein:
the photo-curable unsaturated resin oligomer comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of epoxy acrylic resin, polyester acrylic resin, and polyurethane acrylate;
the photo-polymerizable monomer comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of dipentaerythritol hexacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetracrylate, and dipentaerythritol pentacrylate; and
the photoinitiator comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of benzoin, benzoin dimethylether, deoxybenzoin, α-hydroxyalkylphenone, aroyl phosphine oxide, dibenzoylphenylphosphine oxide, benzophenone, 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, thiopropoxythioxanthone and isopropylthioxanthone.

3. The composition for overcoat layer of claim 1 , wherein:
