## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is the U.S. National Phase of PCT/KR2012/010390 filed Dec. 3, 2012, which claims priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0146217 filed Dec. 29, 2011.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a conductive composition for forming a ground electrode of a liquid crystal display (LCD), and a method of forming a ground electrode using the same.
BACKGROUND OF ART
The ground electrode of a LCD plays a role of blocking the static electricity inflow from outside, and ITO (Indium-Tin-Oxide) or IZO (Indium-Zinc-Oxide) has been used as a ground electrode material formerly.
The ITO or IZO has an advantage of excellent electric resistance and surface hardness, but they have a disadvantage that a particular process such as a vacuum deposit process and the like is required for forming a ground electrode by using the same and the light transparency of the formed electrode is poor.
And recently, as the problem of the exhaustion of indium resources has been on the rise, the development of various transparent electrode materials for replacing ITO and the like is being issued.
However, many transparent electrode materials hitherto known (for example, conductive polymers or inorganic conductive compositions including a metal or a metal oxide and the like) have shown unsatisfactory results.
Particularly, in case of a conductive polymer, the light transparency is relatively good but there is a problem that the surface resistance increases according to the use time for the ground electrode.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Hereinafter, the conductive composition for forming a ground electrode of a LCD and the method of forming a ground electrode using the same are explained according to the concrete embodiments of the present invention.
First of all, in the whole of the present specification, the term ‘include’ or ‘comprise’ means including any component (or constituent, or step) without any limitation unless there is overt mention about them, and it should not be understood as excluding or eliminating an addition of other components.
In the process of studying a LCD, the present inventors recognized that, when the conductive composition for forming a ground electrode includes a solvent satisfying a certain property in company with a conductive polymer, a dopant, and a silane coupling agent, the diffusion of the conductive polymer and the dopant in the composition can be facilitated according to the heat of reaction generated during the preparation of the composition, and the acidity range of the composition. And, from this, the present inventors recognized that, since not only the coating uniformity of the composition is superior but also the ground electrode formed by using the same has low surface resistance, high light transparency and surface hardness, it is possible to provide a ground electrode for a LCD having superior properties, and accomplished the present invention.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a conductive composition for forming a ground electrode of a LCD, including a conductive polymer; a dopant; a solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule; and a silane coupling agent is provided.
Namely, the conductive composition according to the present invention is a composition that the conductive composition, the dopant, and the silane coupling agent are dispersed in a dispersion medium including the solvent, and since the composition includes the solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule, the dispersity of the conductive polymer and the dopant in the composition can be optimized and the coating uniformity of the composition is good, and the ground electrode formed by using the same can maintain low surface resistance even under the condition of high temperature and high humidity and can show high light transparency and surface hardness.
Hereinafter, the components which may be included in the conductive composition according to the embodiment are explained.
At first, the conductive polymer is a basic component for giving conductivity to the composition, and any conductive polymer common in the technical field to which the present invention pertains may be used and it is not limited particularly.
However, according to the present invention, the conductive polymer may be one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyaniline-based polymer, polypyrrole-based polymer, and polythiophene-based polymer. Particularly, it may be preferable in the aspect of securing conductivity and dispersity that the conductive polymer is poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) which is one of the polythiophene-based polymer.
And, the content of the conductive polymer may be 0.1 to 10 weight %, preferably 0.5 to 10 weight %, and more preferably 1 to 5 weight %, per the total weight of the composition. Namely, the content of the conductive polymer is preferably 0.1 weight % or more per the total weight of the composition in order to prevent the increase of the electric resistance while securing a minimum conductivity required to the composition. However, if the conductive polymer is excessively included in the composition, the light transparency, the dispersity, and the stability of the composition may deteriorate, and thus the content of the conductive polymer is preferably 10 weight % or less in order to prevent such deterioration.
Meanwhile, the conductive composition according to the embodiment may include a dopant. The dopant is a component for giving conductivity to the composition in company with said conductive polymer, and it is not limited particularly because any dopant common in the related art may be included in the composition.
However, according to the present invention, the dopant may be one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid, styrenesulfonic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 2-sulfosuccinate, 5-sodiumsulfoisophthalic acid, dimethyl-5-sodiumsulfoisophthalate, and 5-sodiumsulfo-bis(β-hydroxyethylisophthalate). Most of all, it is preferable for securing the conductivity and the dispersity that the dopant is poly(4-styrenesulfonate).
Particularly, it is more preferable in the aspect of the effects disclosed above to use a PEDOT-PPS by mixing poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (hereinafter TSS') as the dopant to poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (hereinafter ‘PEDOT’) among the conductive polymers.
Namely, the conductivity of PEDOT itself is lower than ITO but it has the conductivity of about 500 s/cm, and shows better electric characteristics than ITO by forming a suitable interface with an organic active layer. However, the solubility of PEDOT is not enough and there is a problem of ambient stability, and thus it is preferable to use a form of PEDOT-PSS by adding PPS to PEDOT.
The PEDOT-PSS may be obtained by adding PPS as an anionic dopant to PEDOT. PEDOT and PSS are coupled by electrostatic attraction (see the following Chemical Formula 1), and PEDOT takes on positive (+) charge by PPS and it makes a band gap small so as to have metallic electron band structure. Here, the characteristics such as an electric conductivity, a work function, and the like may be changed according to the change of the PPS rate.




According to the present invention, the content of the dopant may be 0.1 to 10 weight %, preferably 0.5 to 10 weight %, and more preferably 1 to 5 weight %, per the total weight of the composition. Namely, in view of the electric resistance and dispersion property of the composition and the effect of adding said dopant, it is advantageous that the content of the dopant is controlled within the range disclose above.
In addition, the conductive composition according to the embodiment may include a solvent.
The solvent is a dispersion medium of the conductive composition according to the present invention, and particularly a solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule is preferable. Namely, according to the present invention, when the solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule is used as the dispersion medium of the composition, it influences on the acidity of the composition and promotes the diffusion of the conductive polymer and the dopant, and thus the dispersity can be optimized. According to this, the coating uniformity of the composition can be improved, and the surface electric conductivity of the ground electrode formed by using the same can be more improved because the surface resistance is low, and it is possible to show superior light transparency and surface hardness and high reliability even under the condition of high temperature and high humidity.
According to the present invention, it is preferable that the solvent is dimethylformamide, acethylacetone, or a mixture thereof, among the solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is more preferable that the solvent is a mixture of dimethylformamide and acethylacetone. Namely, when the mixture of dimethylformamide and acethylacetone is used as the solvent, the diffusion of the conductive polymer and the dopant is promoted more and the dispersity can be better than the case of using dimethylformamide or acethylacetone solely, and not only the hardness of the ground electrode formed from the composition but also the reliability of the ground electrode can be improved more.
Furthermore, the composition according to the present invention may further include a co-solvent in addition to the solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule.
Here, the co-solvent may be one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, butanediol, neopentyl glycol, 1,3-pentanediol, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polybutylene glycol, dimethylol propane, trimethylol propane, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, dibromoethane, dibromopropane, n-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, triethylamine, tributylamine, trioctylamine, cresol, and water.
The co-solvent may be included with a weight ratio of 1:10 to 1:20, and preferably 1:15 to 1:20, on the basis of the weight of the solvent having a carbonyl group in the molecule, so as to exhibit the effect according to the addition of the solvent having a carbonyl group sufficiently.
More preferably, the conductive composition according to the present invention may include a solvent in which 100 parts by weight of isopropyl alcohol; 80 to 150 parts by weight of propylene glycol monomethyl ether; 5 to 30 parts by weight of dimethylformamide, acethylacetone, or a mixture thereof; and 50 to 120 parts by weight of water are mixed. Most preferably, the conductive composition according to the present invention may include a solvent in which 100 parts by weight of isopropyl alcohol; 90 to 110 parts by weight of propylene glycol monomethyl ether; 15 to 20 parts by weight of dimethylformamide, acethylacetone, or a mixture thereof; and 80 to 100 parts by weight of water are mixed.
And, the content of the solvent may be 60 to 95 weight %, preferably 70 to 95 weight %, and more preferably 80 to 95 weight %, per the total weight of the composition. Namely, the content of the solvent is preferably 60 weight % or more per the total weight of the composition in order to secure the coating property suitable to the process of forming the ground electrode while securing a minimum stability required to the composition. However, if the solvent is excessively included in the composition, the concentration of the conductive polymer becomes relatively low and the electric resistance may increase and the shock resistance of the ground electrode formed by using the composition may deteriorate. Therefore, the content of the solvent is preferably 95 weight % or less per the total weight of the composition in order to prevent such deterioration.
Furthermore, the conductive composition according to the embodiment may include a silane coupling agent.
The silane coupling agent is a component for improving the dispersity of the conductive polymer, the dopant, and so on, and any silane coupling agent common in the technical field to which the present invention pertains may be used and it is not limited particularly.
However, according to the present invention, the silane coupling agent may be one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of an alkyloxysilane-based compound, an aminosilane-based compound, a vinylsilane-based compound, an epoxysilane-based compound, a methacryloxysilane-based compound, an isocyanatesilane-based compound, and a fluorinesilane-based compound.
Preferably, the silane coupling agent may be one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of tetraethyloxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltris(β-methoxyethoxy)silane, γ-methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane, β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-β-(aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-ureidepropyltriethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, polyethyleneoxide-modified silane, polymethylethoxysiloxane, and hexamethyldisilazine.
And, the content of the silane coupling agent may be 0.1 to 20 weight %, preferably 1 to 15 weight %, and more preferably 3 to 10 weight %, per the total weight of the composition. Namely, the content of the silane coupling agent is preferably 0.1 weight % or more per the total weight of the composition in order to prevent the surface staining phenomenon and the decrease of the surface hardness due to the phase separation of the composition during the coating process. However, if the silane coupling agent is excessively included in the composition, the electric resistance may increase and the stability of the composition may be so much the worse. Therefore, the content of the silane coupling agent is preferably 20 weight % or less per the total weight of the composition in order to prevent such deterioration.
Furthermore, the conductive composition according to the present invention may further include additives common in the related art with necessity.
According to the present invention, said additive may be one or more selected from the group consisting of a binder resin, a surfactant, and a diluent solution of hydrochloric acid or acetic acid.
At this time, the content of the additives may be determined within the range that does not have a bad influence on the properties of the composition while showing a minimum effect of adding the same, and it may be 0.1 to 5 weight % per the total weight of the composition preferably.
On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a method of forming a ground electrode for a LCD including a step of coating the conductive composition disclosed above on a substrate is provided.
Here, coating methods common in the related art may be unlimitedly applied to the method of coating the conductive composition on the substrate, and preferably, a spray method, a doctor blade method, a roll coating method, a dipping method, and the like may be used.
At this time, the coating thickness of the composition may be 0.1 to 1 μm. The ground electrode of a LCD may be prepared by soft-baking the coated composition under the temperature of 60 to 100° C. so as to form a film layer of 200 to 500 nm thickness, and drying the same under the temperature of about 100 to 150° C.
The conductive composition according to the present invention can be used for forming a ground electrode of a LCD as disclosed above, and it may be applied to the use of a coating film of a conductive polarizing plate which can replace existing ground electrodes in addition.
