Description
LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE ASSEMBLY HOUSING COMPRISING HIGH TEMPERATURE POLYAMIDE COMPOSITIONS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to light emitting diode assembly components comprising high temperature polyamide compositions containing titanium dioxide.
Background of the Invention
Light-emitting semiconductor diodes (LED's) are increasingly being used as light sources in numerous applications due to their many advantages over traditional light sources. LED's generally consume significantly less power than incandescent and other light sources, require a low voltage to operate, are resistant to mechanical shock, require low maintenance, and generate minimal heat when operating. As a result, they are displacing incandescent and other light sources in many uses and have found applications in such disparate areas as traffic signals, large area displays (including video displays), interior and exterior lighting, cellular telephone displays, automotive displays, and flashlights. LED's are typically used in such applications as components in assemblies.
LED assemblies comprise a housing partially surrounding at least one LED and an electrical connection between the diode and an electrical circuit. The assembly may further comprise a lens that is adhered to the housing and that fully or partially covers the LED and serves to focus the light emitted by the LED. It would be desirable to make LED housings from polymeric materials, as such materials may be injection molded and offer considerable design flexibility. However, useful polymeric compositions would preferably satisfy a number of conditions. Since many LED assemblies are attached to circuits boards using reflow oven welding processes that operate at elevated temperatures, useful compositions would be sufficiently heat resistant to withstand the welding conditions and minimal surface blistering of the housing during the welding process. Useful compositions would further preferably exhibit good whiteness/reflectivity to maximize the amount of light reflected by the housing, have good ultraviolet light resistance, good long-term resistance to the operating temperatures of the LED assembly, and have good adhesion to any lens material used. The polyamide compositions used in the present invention satisfy the foregoing requirements.
WO 03/085029 discloses a resin composition useful in the production of light- emitting diode reflectors.
Summary of the Invention There is disclosed herein a light-emitting diode assembly housing comprising a polyamide composition, comprising:
(a) about 40 to about 95 weight percent of at least one polyamide having a melting point of greater than about 270 0C and comprising repeat units derived from: (i) dicarboxylic acid monomers comprising terephthalic acid, and, optionally, one or more additional aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids; (ii) diamine monomers comprising one or more aliphatic diamines having 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and, optionally, one or more additional diamines; and
(iii) optionally, one or more aminocarboxylic acids and/or lactams;
(b) about 5 to about 40 weight percent of titanium dioxide;
(c) 0 to about 40 weight percent of at least one inorganic reinforcing agent or filler; and (d) 0 to about 3 weight percent of at least one oxidative stabilizer, wherein the weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition.

Examples
The compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared by melt blending the ingredients shown in Table 1 in a Buss kneader using a screw speed of about 250 rpm and a melt temperature of about 340 0C. In Table 1 , "Polyamide A" refers to a polyamide having repeat units derived from 1 ,10- diaminodecane and about 90 mole percent terephthalic acid and about 10 mole percent of dodecanedioic acid, wherein the mole percentages are based on the total amount of terephthalic acid and dodecanedioic acid. Polyamide A has a first melting point of about 303 0C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) following ISO method 3146 and scanning at 10 °C/min. "Polyamide B" refers to a polyamide having repeat units derived from hexamethylenediamine, terephthalic acid, and adipic acid and having a first melting point of about 310 0C as determined by DSC as described above. "Stabilizers" refers to a blend containing about 20 weight parts Irgafas® 12; about 20 weight parts Irganox® 1098; about 20 weight parts Tinuvin® 360; and about 30 weight parts Chimassorb® 119FL. All stabilizers are supplied by Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corp, Tarrytown, NY.
The compositions were molded into ISO tensile bars according to ISO method 527-1/2 using a mold temperature of about 100 0C and tensile modulus was determined using the same method. The results are shown in Table 1.
The whiteness index was determined for each composition using ASTM- E313. Results were measured on prepared as described above that were either dry-as-molded (DAM) had been heat aged in air for 2 hours at 150 0C, 180 0C, and 200 0C. The results are shown in Table 1. Higher numbers indicate better whiteness.
Adhesion of the compositions to epoxy resin was determined as follows: A metal ring having a diameter of about 1 cm and a thickness of about 2 mm was
6 022723
placed on the surface of one of the wide tabs of an ISO tensile bar molded as described above. The ring was filled with a two-part liquid epoxy and the bars were placed in an oven set at 180 0C for 1 hour to cure the epoxy. The ring was then removed, leaving a cylinder of epoxy affixed to the tensile bar. The bars were conditioned by placing them in an oven and holding them sequentially at 45 0C, 23 CC, and 125 0C for 1 hour at each temperature. This conditioning procedure was run three times. After conditioning, the adhesion of the epoxy resin to the tensile bar was tested by clamping the wide portion of the tensile bar that did not contain the molded epoxy in a tensile testing machine. A specially-adapted rig was attached to the epoxy cylinder and the shear force necessary to detach the epoxy cylinder f rom the bar was measured. The results are reported in Table 1 under the heading of "Adhesion."
Blistering resistance was determined using a dip soldering test. Bars having a thickness of 0.8 mm were molded according to according to UL Test No. UL-94; 20 mm Vertical Burning Test from the compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 and were dipped in molten solder to a depth of 15 mm in a Rhesca Co. Ltd. Solder Checker SAT-5100 for 5 or 10 seconds. The bars were used dry-as- molded (DAM) or after conditioning for 168 hours at 85 0C and 85 percent relative humidity (RH). The solder was at a temperature of 255, 260 or 265 0C. Upon being removed from the solder, the bars were inspected for surface blisters. The results are given in Table 2.
Table 1
Ingredient quantities are given in weight percent based on the total weight of the composition.
Table 2
[O" denotes that no blisters were observed; "X" denotes that blisters having a diameter of less than about 5 mm were observed; and "XX" denotes that blisters having a diameter of greater than about 5 mm were observed.]
The compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are molded into light emitting diode assembly housings that contain epoxy lenses. The housings of Example 1 have improved resistance to surface blistering when the housing are welded to circuit boards, better adhesion to the epoxy lens, and better
whiteness/reflectivity than the housings than the housings of Comparative Example 1.
