Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a resin composition, a color filter, and a liquid crystal display, particularly to a photosensitive resin composition, a color filter, a method for manufacturing the same, and a liquid crystal display. [Previous Technology]
[0002] Currently, color filters are widely used in color LCD displays, color fax machines, color cameras, and other application fields. Among them, as the market demand for color LCD displays continues to expand, the manufacturing technology of color filters is also becoming more diversified, including methods such as dyeing, printing, electroplating, and dispersion. Among these, dispersion is the mainstream method for manufacturing color filters.
[0003] This dispersion method involves first dispersing the colorant in a photosensitive resin to form a photosensitive resin composition, then coating the photosensitive resin composition onto a glass substrate, and subjecting it to exposure and development steps to transform the photosensitive resin composition into a pixel layer with a specific pattern. After repeating the above coating, exposure, and development processes three times, the red (R) pixel layer, green (G) pixel layer, and blue (B) pixel layer of the color filter are obtained. Generally, to further improve the contrast of the color filter, a black matrix (or light-blocking layer) is placed between the aforementioned pixel layers.
[0004] Quality requirements for photosensitive resin compositions for color filters include contrast and brightness, but in recent years, the importance of quality items such as filterability and the presence of crystalline foreign matter has also increased. In the manufacturing of photosensitive resin compositions for color filters, the final process includes a filtration procedure. However, if large particles remain after filtration, the filter screen must be replaced frequently, significantly reducing the filtration speed. Furthermore, there is a problem that the post-baking process in the color filter manufacturing process can generate crystalline foreign matter.
[0005] In addition, in recent years, with the miniaturization of pixels in liquid crystal display devices, the pore size of filter screens has become smaller in order to remove finer foreign objects. Therefore, a very high level of filtration performance is required. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid the problem of deterioration of filtration stability after long-term storage.
[0006] Therefore, how to improve the high precision and long-term filtration stability of photosensitive resin compositions is a problem that technicians in this field urgently need to solve. [Summary of the Invention]
[0007] Therefore, the first object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition having good high fineness and long-term filtration stability.
[0008] Therefore, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises a colorant (A), an alkali-soluble resin (B), a photopolymerizable compound (C), a photoinitiator (D), a compound (E) having a structure as shown in formula (V), and a solvent (F). The colorant (A) comprises a triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1). Formula (V)
[0009] In this formula (V), R 24, R 25, R 26 and R 27 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, alkyl, hydroxyl or amino group, X represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms or an aromatic hydrocarbon group with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and M represents a hydrogen atom, alkali metal, ammonium group or organic ammonium group.
[0010] Furthermore, a second objective of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a color filter.
[0011] Therefore, the method for manufacturing a color filter of the present invention includes forming a pixel layer using the photosensitive resin composition described above.
[0012] Furthermore, a third objective of the present invention is to provide a color filter.
[0013] Therefore, the color filter of the present invention is manufactured by the color filter manufacturing method described above.
[0014] Furthermore, a fourth objective of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display.
[0015] Thus, the liquid crystal display of the present invention includes a color filter as described above.
[0016] The advantage of the present invention is that by using a colorant (A) including the triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1) and a compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V), the photosensitive resin composition has good high fineness and long-term filtration stability.

[0026] [Triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1-1)]
[0027] The triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1-1) has the structure shown in formula (I-1). In formula (I-1), A represents a p-valent organic group, wherein the carbon atom in the organic group directly bonded to N does not have a π bond. The organic group represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group at least at the end directly bonded to N, or an aromatic group having such an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The carbon chain of the aliphatic hydrocarbon group may contain at least one of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, and a nitrogen atom. The carbon chain of the aromatic group may contain at least one of an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, and a nitrogen atom. R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group. R2 and R3 may bond to each other to form a ring structure, and R4 and R5 may bond to each other to form a ring structure. Multiple R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 may be the same or different. Ar 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted divalent aromatic group, and multiple Ar 1s can be the same or different. p represents an integer greater than 2.
[0028] In formula (I-1), the p-valent organic group represented by A has a carbon atom directly bonded to a nitrogen atom (N) that does not have a π bond. This organic group represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group at the end directly bonded to N, or an aromatic group containing such an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. The carbon chain of the aliphatic hydrocarbon group may contain oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and nitrogen (N), and the carbon chain of the aromatic group may also contain O, S, and N. Since the carbon atom directly bonded to N does not have a π bond, the color characteristics such as hue or transmittance of the cationic chromogenic site are not affected by the bonding group, i.e., A, or other chromogenic sites, and can maintain the same color as the monomer.
[0029] In formula (I-1), the aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group at least at the end directly bonded to N can be any of straight-chain, branched, or cyclic, provided that the carbon atom at the end directly bonded to N does not have a π bond. The carbon atoms other than the terminal carbon atoms can have unsaturated bonds and can have substituents. The carbon chain of the substituent can contain O, S, or N. For example, the carbon chain of the substituent can contain carbonyl, carboxyl, oxycarbonyl, amide, etc., and the hydrogen atom can be substituted with a halogen atom, etc.
[0030] Furthermore, in the A of formula (I-1), the aromatic group having the aliphatic hydrocarbon group can be listed as a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic group having at least a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group at the end directly bonded to N, which may have substituents or be a heterocycle containing O, S, and N.
[0031] In the A of formula (I-1), from the viewpoint of the strength of the skeleton, it is preferable that the A contains a cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic group.
[0032] In the A of formula (I-1), from the viewpoint of the strength of the skeleton, it is preferable that the cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon group of A is a bridged alicyclic hydrocarbon group. A bridged alicyclic hydrocarbon group refers to a polycyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon group that has a cross-linking structure within an aliphatic ring and has a polycyclic structure. Examples of bridged alicyclic hydrocarbon groups include norbornane, bicyclic [2.2.2]octane, and adamantane. Preferably, the bridged alicyclic hydrocarbon group is norbornane. Furthermore, the aromatic group can be a group containing a benzene ring or a naphthyl ring. Preferably, the aromatic group is a group containing a benzene ring. For example, when A is a divalent organic group, examples include straight-chain, branched, or cyclic alkyl groups with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or aromatic groups such as xylylene substituted with two alkyl groups with 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
[0033] In formula (I-1), the valence p is the number of chromogenic cationic sites constituting the cation, and p represents an integer of 2 or more. In this colorant, from the viewpoint of heat resistance, it is preferable that the valence p of the cation is 2 or more, and more preferably, the valence p of the cation is 3 or more. There is no particular upper limit to p, but from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture, it is preferable that p is 4 or less, and more preferably, p is 3 or less.
[0034] In formula (I-1), R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group.
[0035] In formula (I-1), the alkyl groups in R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are not particularly limited, and can include straight-chain alkyl groups or branched alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkyl group is a straight-chain alkyl group or branched alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and more preferably, the alkyl group is a straight-chain alkyl group or branched alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. From the viewpoint of pixel brightness, it is particularly preferred that the alkyl groups in R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are ethyl or methyl. The substituents that the alkyl group may have are not particularly limited, and can include aryl, halogen atoms, hydroxyl, etc., and substituted alkyl groups can include aralkyl groups such as benzyl groups.
[0036] In formula (I-1), there are no particular restrictions on the aryl groups in R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5, and examples include phenyl, naphthyl, etc. There are no particular restrictions on the substituents that the aryl group may have, and examples include alkyl, halogen atoms, etc.
[0037] The phrase “R2 and R3 can bond with each other to form a ring structure, and R4 and R5 can bond with each other to form a ring structure” means that “R2 and R3 can bond with each other through nitrogen atoms to form a ring structure, and R4 and R5 can bond with each other through nitrogen atoms to form a ring structure”. There are no particular restrictions on the ring structure, and examples include pyrrolidine ring, piperidine ring, or morpholine ring.
[0038] In formula (I-1), from the viewpoint of chemical stability, it is preferable that R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently represented by an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or that R2 and R3 are bonded to each other to form a ring structure, and that R4 and R5 are bonded to each other to form a ring structure, wherein the ring structure may be pyrrolidine ring, piperidine ring or morpholine ring.
[0039] In formula (I-1), R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 can each independently form the above-described structure; that is, the plurality of R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 can each be the same or different. Preferably, from the viewpoint of color purity, R1 is a hydrogen atom. More preferably, from the viewpoint of ease of manufacture and raw material supply, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are all the same.
[0040] In formula (I-1), there is no particular restriction on whether the divalent aromatic group in Ar 1 is substituted or unsubstituted, and the plurality of Ar 1s can be the same or different. The aromatic group in Ar 1 can be the same as those listed in the aromatic group of A.
[0041] In formula (I-1), preferably, Ar 1 is an aromatic group with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, either substituted or unsubstituted; more preferably, Ar 1 is an aromatic group containing a condensed polycyclic carbocyclic ring, either substituted or unsubstituted, with 10 to 14 carbon atoms. From the viewpoint of simple structure and low raw material cost, Ar 1 is preferably an enylphenyl or enylnaphthyl.
[0042] In this formula (I-1), multiple R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and Ar1 exist within one molecule and can be the same or different. By combining the R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and Ar1, the desired color can be adjusted.
[0043] The structure shown in formula (I-1) is a cation with a valence of 2 or higher, which can be paired with an anion with a valence of 2 or higher. The anion is, for example, B q-.
[0044] It is worth noting that when the compound represented by formula (I-1) is in a state containing an anion and a cation with a valence of divalent or higher, the structure represented by formula (I-1) (i.e., the cation) and the Bq- (i.e., the anion) can form a condensed aggregate. Here, the anion and cation are not simply ionicly bonded one molecule to one molecule, but rather form a molecular assembly by assembling multiple molecules through ionic bonds. Therefore, the apparent molecular weight of this condensed aggregate is higher than that of conventional lake pigments. Generally, it is speculated that the formation of this molecular assembly increases the cohesive force of the condensed aggregate formed by the structure represented by formula (I-1) (i.e., the cation) and the Bq- (i.e., the anion) in the solid state, and reduces thermal motion, thereby inhibiting the dissociation of ion pairs or the decomposition of the cation portion, making it more difficult to fade than conventional lake pigments.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, provided that the structure shown in formula (I-1) is a cation with a valence of 2 or higher combined with the anion of B q-, the molecular assembly can be represented, for example, as the structure shown in formula (I-1-1). Formula (I-1-1) In formula (I-1-1), A, Ar 1, R 1, R 2, R 3, R 4, R 5 and p are the same as in formula (I-1), and will not be described again here. B q- represents an anion. r and s each independently represent an integer of 1 or more.
[0046] In formula (I-1-1), r represents the number of cations, and s represents the number of anions in the molecular assembly. Both r and s independently represent an integer of 1 or more. When r represents 2 or more, the multiple cations in the molecular assembly can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more. Similarly, when s is 2 or more, the multiple anions in the molecular assembly can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more.
[0047] Furthermore, in formula (I-1-1), the B q- (i.e., anion) is not particularly limited and can be an organic anion or an inorganic anion. Here, "organic anion" refers to an anion containing at least one carbon atom. "Inorganic anion" refers to an anion that does not contain a carbon atom. In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of pixel brightness, it is preferable that the B q- is an inorganic anion.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, when B q- is an organic anion, its structure is not particularly limited, and examples such as those described in International Publication No. 2012 / 144520 can be cited.
[0049] From the viewpoint of the stability of the colorant, it is preferable that the Bq- is an organic anion having two or more monovalent anionic substituents in one molecule. Specific examples of such anionic substituents include, for example, acetylinic acid groups (i.e., sulfonate anions) such as -SO₂N-SO₂CH₃, -SO₂N-COCH₃, -SO₂N-SO₂CF₃, -SO₂N-COCF₃, -CF₂SO₂N-SO₂CH₃, -CF₂SO₂N-COCH₃, -CF₂SO₂N-SO₂CF₃, -CF₂SO₂N-COCF₃, -SO₃-, -CF₂SO₃-, -PO₃²⁻, -COO-, -CF₂PO₃²⁻, and -CF₂COO-. From the viewpoint that high acidity effectively stabilizes the cation and maintains the color, the anionic substituent is preferably an imine group, -SO3-, or -CF2SO3-, and more preferably, -SO3- (sulfonic acid group). In the case of multiple substituted anionic substituents, the same substituent or different substituents may be used.
[0050] On the other hand, when B q- is an inorganic anion, its structure is not particularly limited, and examples include anions of oxyacids with a valence of 2 or higher [e.g., phosphate ions, sulfate ions, chromate ions, tungstate ions (WO4 2-), molybdate ions (MoO4 2-), etc.], multiple acid anions formed by the condensation of multiple oxyacids, halogen anions, or mixtures thereof.
[0051] The multiple acid anion can be exemplified by heteropolyacid anion (MyO2z) q- or heteropolyacid anion (XMyO2z) q-. In the above ionic formula, M represents a polyatom, X represents a heteroatom, y represents the composition ratio of the polyatom, and z represents the composition ratio of oxygen atoms. Examples of polyatoms M include molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), titanium (Ti), or niobium (Nb). Examples of heteroatoms X include silicon (Si), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), and cobalt (Co). Furthermore, both heteropolyacid anions and heteropolyacid anions may contain para-cations such as Na+ or H+.
[0052] In terms of pixel brightness, preferably, Bq- is a heteropolyacid anion containing at least one of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), and more preferably, Bq- is a heteropolyacid anion containing at least the q-valent of tungsten. When the Bq- of the present invention is a heteropolyacid anion containing at least one of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), the high fineness and time-filtration stability of the photosensitive resin composition are even better.
[0053] The multiple acid anions containing at least one of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) can be, for example, tungstate ion [W 10O 32] 4-, molybdate ion [Mo 6O 19] 2-, phosphotungstate ion [PW 12O 40] 3-, silicotttate ion [SiW 12O 40] 4-, phosphotungstate ion [PMo 12O 40] 3-, phosphotungstate ion [PW 12-aMo aO 40] 3-, H 3 [PW 2-bMo bO 7] 4-, etc., which belong to heterogeneous multiple acid anions.
[0054] In the multiple acid anion containing at least one of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), there is no particular limitation on the molar ratio of tungsten to molybdenum. From the viewpoint of pixel brightness, it is preferable that the molar ratio of tungsten to molybdenum is between 100:0 and 90:10.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Bq- represents the aceimine group (i.e., sulfonate anion), halide anion, or the multiple acid anion mentioned above.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the Bq- is chloride ion, [PW 12O 4O] 3-, [PW 11.76Mo 0.24O 4O] 3-, or a combination thereof.
[0057] Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the method of preparing the structure shown in formula (I-1) and the compound shown in formula (I-1-1), for example, it can be prepared with reference to International Publication No. 2012 / 144520.
[0058] Specific examples of the compounds represented by formula (I-1-1) may include at least one of compounds (1) to (22). Each of compounds (1) to (22) contains a cation and a heterologous multiple acid anion.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, specific examples of the compound represented by formula (I-1-1) include at least one of compound (2), compound (21), and compound (22).

[0209] Preparation Method of Photosensitive Resin Composition
[0210] The preparation method of the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. Specifically, the preparation method of the photosensitive resin composition can be exemplified by: (1) First, adding the colorant (A) to the solvent (F) to prepare a colorant dispersion, and then adding the alkali-soluble resin (B), the photopolymerizable compound (C), the photoinitiator (D), the compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V), and the additive (G) as needed to the colorant dispersion and mixing them; (2) Adding the colorant (A), the alkali-soluble resin (B), the photopolymerizable compound (C), the photoinitiator (D), the compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V), and the additive (G) as needed to the solvent (F) and mixing them; (3) First First, a method in which the alkali-soluble resin (B), the photopolymerizable compound (C), the photoinitiator (D), the compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V), and the additive (G) used as needed are added to the solvent (F) and mixed, and then the colorant (A) is added and dispersed; and (4) a method in which the colorant (A) and a portion of the alkali-soluble resin (B) are added to the solvent (F) to prepare a colorant dispersion, and then another portion of the alkali-soluble resin (B), the photopolymerizable compound (C), the photoinitiator (D), the compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V), and the additive (G) used as needed are added to the colorant dispersion and mixed, etc.
[0211] In view of the above methods, it is preferable to prepare the photosensitive resin composition by the methods (1) and (4) above, so as to effectively prevent the colorant from agglomerating and disperse it evenly.
[0212] Methods for uniformly dispersing / mixing the components include using a mixer and / or a disperser for mixing and / or dispersion. Examples of dispersers include roller mills such as two-roll mills and three-roll mills, ball mills, vibratory ball mills, paint conditioners, continuous disc bead mills, and continuous ring bead mills. Preferably, the dispersion conditions of the bead mill are that the bead diameter used is from 0.03 mm to 2.00 mm; more preferably, the dispersion conditions of the bead mill are that the bead diameter used is from 0.10 mm to 1.0 mm.
[0213] Preparation Method of Color Filters
[0214] The method for manufacturing the color filter of the present invention includes forming a pixel layer using a photosensitive resin composition as described above. Specifically, the photosensitive resin composition, mixed in a solution state, is coated onto a substrate using coating methods such as rotary coating, cast coating, inkjet coating, or roller coating. After coating, most of the solvent is removed by vacuum drying, and then the solvent is removed by pre-bake to form a pre-baked coating film. The conditions for vacuum drying and pre-baking vary depending on the type and ratio of each component. Typically, vacuum drying is performed at a pressure of 0 mmHg to 200 mmHg for 1 to 60 seconds, and pre-baking is performed at a temperature of 70°C to 110°C for 1 to 15 minutes. After pre-baking, the pre-baked coating is exposed under a specified mask and developed by immersing it in a developer at 23±2°C for 15 seconds to 5 minutes to remove unwanted portions and form a pixel layer. The light used for this exposure is preferably ultraviolet light such as g-lines, h-lines, and i-lines, and the ultraviolet light device can be a (ultra) high-pressure mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp.
[0215] Specific examples of such substrates include: alkali-free glass, soda-lime glass, hard glass (Pyles glass), quartz glass, sodium glass, or substrates with a transparent conductive film attached to such glass for liquid crystal display devices; or substrates for photoelectric conversion devices such as solid-state imaging devices (e.g., silicon substrates). Such substrates generally first form a black matrix that isolates each pixel layer.
[0216] Furthermore, the developer is specifically an alkaline aqueous solution composed of at least one of the following alkaline compounds: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium silicate, sodium methyl silicate, ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, guanidine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene, etc., wherein the concentration of the alkaline compound in the alkaline aqueous solution is generally from 0.001 wt% to 10 wt%; preferably, the concentration of the alkaline compound in the alkaline aqueous solution is from 0.005 wt% to 5 wt%; more preferably, the concentration of the alkaline compound in the alkaline aqueous solution is from 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%.
[0217] In some embodiments of the present invention, preferably, the developing solution is an alkaline aqueous solution composed of sodium carbonate.
[0218] When using the developer solution made of this alkaline aqueous solution, it is generally washed with water after development, and then the pixel layer is dried with compressed air or compressed nitrogen.
[0219] The substrate with the pixel layer, after being air-dried, is heated at a temperature of 100°C to 280°C for 1 to 15 minutes using a heating device such as a hot plate or oven to remove volatile components from the pixel layer and to allow unreacted vinyl unsaturated double bonds in the pixel layer to undergo a thermosetting reaction. The same steps are repeated three times on predetermined pixels using photosensitive resin compositions of various colors (mainly including red, green, and blue) to obtain red, green, and blue pixel layers.
[0220] Next, an ITO (indium tin oxide) vapor deposition film is formed on the pixel layer under vacuum at a temperature of 220°C to 250°C. If necessary, the ITO vapor deposition film is etched and wired, and then polyimide for liquid crystal alignment film is coated, followed by heat treatment, so that it can be used as a color filter for liquid crystal display.
[0221] Furthermore, the liquid crystal alignment film used above is used to restrict the alignment of liquid crystal molecules. It is not particularly limited here, and any inorganic or organic material can be used. As for the technology for forming the liquid crystal alignment film, it is well known to those skilled in the art and is not the focus of this invention, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0222] Liquid Crystal Display Device
[0223] The liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a color filter substrate containing a color filter manufactured using the color filter manufacturing method described above; and a driving substrate on which a thin film transistor (TFT) is disposed. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is formed by intervening a gap (cell gap) between the color filter substrate and the driving substrate and arranging them opposite each other, bonding a sealant around the opposing surfaces of the color filter substrate and the driving substrate, filling and injecting liquid crystal into the gap defined by the sealant on the opposing surfaces of the color filter substrate and the driving substrate, and sealing the injection hole to form a liquid crystal cell. Then, a polarizing plate is bonded to the outer surface of the liquid crystal cell, that is, to the other side surfaces of each substrate constituting the liquid crystal cell, to obtain the liquid crystal display device.
[0224] As for the liquid crystal used above, that is, liquid crystal compound or liquid crystal composition, there is no particular limitation here, but any kind of liquid crystal compound and liquid crystal composition may be used.
[0225] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following experimental examples, but it should be understood that these experimental examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the implementation of the present invention.

[0243] Referring to Tables 1 to 2, the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 10, by using the colorant (A) including the triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1) and the compound (E) having the structure shown in Formula (V), have a time filtration ratio (F) of 95% or more, thereby exhibiting good high-fineness time filtration stability.
[0244] On the other hand, the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 4 and 6 to 10 further use the triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1) having a heterogeneous multiple acid anion containing at least one of molybdenum and tungsten. Therefore, the time-lapse filtration ratio (F) of the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 4 and 6 to 10 is 97% or more, thereby exhibiting better high-fineness time-lapse filtration stability. Furthermore, the compound (E) with the structure shown in Formula (V) used in the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1, 2, 6, 7 and 10, by having X in Formula (V) represent an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms and M represent a hydrogen atom, an ammonium group or an organic ammonium group, therefore, the time-lapse filtration ratio (F) of the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1, 2, 6, 7 and 10 is 99% or more, thereby exhibiting better high-fineness time-lapse filtration stability.
[0245] Referring to Table 3, in contrast to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the photosensitive resin composition of Comparative Example 1 does not contain the compound (E) having the structure shown in Formula (V). Therefore, the time filtration ratio (F) of the photosensitive resin composition of Comparative Example 1 is less than 95%, resulting in poor high-fineness time filtration stability. The photosensitive resin compositions of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 do not contain the colorant (A) including the triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1). Therefore, the time filtration ratio (F) of the photosensitive resin compositions of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 is less than 95%, resulting in poor high-fineness time filtration stability.
[0246] In summary, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention uses the colorant (A) including the triphenylmethane-based colorant (A-1) and the compound (E) having the structure shown in formula (V). Therefore, the time filtration ratio (F) of the photosensitive resin composition is more than 95%, thereby having good high-fineness time filtration stability, and thus the purpose of the present invention can be effectively achieved.
[0247] However, the above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the contents of the patent specification shall still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
