Abstract: | High refractive index of epoxy resins used as encapsulant in light-emitting diode (LED) is essential in improving the light extraction efficiency, reducing heat and prolonging the service life of LED packages. In this study, diglycidyl ether of thiodibenzenethiol (DGETDBT), an epoxy resin with high refractive index, was synthesized via a novel method and its chemical structure was characterized with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and 1H NMR spectrometer. Using m-xylylenediamine (MXDA) as curing agent, the curing behavior of DGETDBT was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and was compared with that of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), a generally used encapsulant in LED. The thermal behavior and optical performance of these two resins were investigated with thermogravimetric analyses, UV?CVis scanning spectrophotometer, and Abbe refractometer, respectively. The results showed that DGETDBT/MXDA resin demonstrated similar curing and thermal behavior to DGEBA/MXDA resin. But its refractive index reaches 1.698, which is significantly higher than that of DGEBA/MXDA resin (1.604). Comparatively, DGETDBT resin can be expected to be a more effective encapsulant of LED. |
