AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The modified pigment products achieve a high volume resistivity and optical density, improving the overall performance of the black matrix while reducing conductivity and enhancing particle separation and distribution within the photosensitive layer.

Problems solved by technology

Although chromium based films have excellent light-shielding capabilities, the metal vapor deposition process is expensive.
In addition, chromium use and disposal is subject to increasingly restrictive environmental regulations.
Chromium films also have low resistivity, which restricts the electrical design of LCDs to a subset of the possible design configurations.
However, typical systems have not been able to provide the desired balance of overall properties.

Polymer Preparation

[0052] Acrylic acid (4.8 g) was slowly added at 66° C. to a stirred solution of 30 g of bisphenol-A epoxy resin (EPON 1001F, available from Resolution Performance Products) in 30 g of THF. Tetraethyl ammonium bromide (0.2 g) was added as a catalyst and methoxyhydroquinone (0.1 g) as an antioxidant. The reaction was monitored by acid number measurements. After 30 hours of reaction in refluxing THF, hexahydrophthalic anhydride (10.5 g) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for an additional 2 hr at the same temperature. The resulting carboxy acrylated polymer solution in THF was allowed to cool to room temperature and used without further isolation.

example 2

Modification of the Polymer

[0053] 1,4-phenylene diamine (2.95 g) was added to the polymer solution of Example 1 along with 250 mL of THF, and after dissolution, 5.6 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hr at room temperature and purified by filtration to remove the precipitated urea.

example 3

Preparation of a Modified Pigment Product

[0054] Modified polymer solution of Example 2 and 30 g of carbon black were mixed in a rotor stator. The carbon black had a surface area of 50 m2 / g and DBP of 46 mL / 100 g. Methanesulfonic acid (0.96 g) was added. A solution of 0.69 g of NaNO2 in 10 g of water was added drop-wise, and mixing was continued for an additional 3 hr. The resulting dispersion was purified by diafiltration using first acetone / THF (20 / 80) solution followed by acetone and finally propylene glycol methoxy ether acetate (PGMEA). The resulting dispersion was filtered sequentially through a series of filters (20 micron, 5 micron, 1 micron, and 0.5 micron).

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 346,306, filed on Jan. 7, 2002, and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 408,414, filed on Sep. 5, 2002.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to modified pigment products and dispersions, black matrixes, and resin compositions comprising these modified pigment products. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Black matrix is a generic name for materials used in color displays to improve the contrast of an image by separating individual color pixels. In liquid crystal displays (LCDs), the black matrix is a thin film having high light-shielding capability and is formed between the three color elements of a color filter. In LCD's using thin film transistors (TFT), the black matrix also prevents the formation of photo-induced currents due to reflected light in the TFT. [0006] Conventionally the black matrix layer in ...
