LIQUID CRYSTAL SEALING AGENT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CELL USING SAME

摘要

Proposed is a liquid crystal sealing agent for liquid crystal dropping methods, which has excellent resistance to liquid crystal penetration thereinto and extremely low water vapor permeability, while being also excellent in terms of general characteristics required for liquid crystal sealing agents such as adhesion strength and low possibility of contaminating liquid crystals. By using a liquid crystal sealing agent of the present invention, a liquid crystal display cell having extremely excellent long-term reliability can be produced easily. A liquid crystal sealing agent of the present invention contains an organic filler (I) and a curable compound (II) that has a (meth)acryloyl group. The organic filler (I) has a 10% displacement force of 2.0 MPa or less and a water vapor transmission rate of less than 100 cc/m2·24h·atm. The content of the organic filler (I) is 20 parts by mass or more if the total amount of the curable compound (II) is taken as 100 parts by mass.
