VISIBLE LIGHT-CURABLE LIQUID CRYSTAL SEALING MATERIAL AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY CELL USING SAME

摘要

Disclosed are a liquid crystal sealing material having excellent display quality and reliability, which is composed of a sealing material that is sufficiently photo-cured by visible light of 400 nm or longer, and a liquid crystal display cell using the liquid crystal sealing material. Specifically disclosed is a visible light-curable liquid crystal sealing material which is characterized by containing (a) a photoinitiator having a carbazole skeleton, (b) a hydrogen abstraction type photosensitizer and (c) a (meth)acrylated epoxy resin that serves as a curable resin. The visible light-curable liquid crystal sealing material may additionally contain (d) an epoxy resin and (e) a thermosetting agent.
