Benefits of technology

[0220]The content of the triarylmethane-based colorant is arbitrary in the range that does not impair the advantageous effects of the invention, and preferably 0.5 to 50% by mass, with respect to the total solid content in the colored photosensitive curing composition of the invention.
[0221]Preferably in preparing a blue filter array, the particular metal complex compound I (including particular metal complex compound II) or the particular boron complex compound is used together with at least one of the particular colorants A, B, and C as they are mixed.
[0222]The blending ratio then may vary, for example, according to the molar absorption coefficient of the colorant and the desired spectroscopic properties and film thickness of the color filter, however generally, the content ratio (total content of particular metal complex compound I (including particular metal complex compound II) or the particular boron complex compound):(total content of the particular colorants A, B, and C) is in the range of 20:1 to 1:20. It is more preferably in the range of 10:1 to 1:10.
[0224]It is preferable that the colored curable composition of the present invention may contain at least one kind of binder. The binder used in the invention is not particularly limited as long as it is alkali-soluble, and is preferably selected in view of heat-resistance, developability, availability, and the like.
[0225]The alkali-soluble binder is preferably a linear organic polymer soluble in organic solvents and developable with an aqueous weakly alkaline solution. Examples of such linear organic polymer include polymers having a carboxylic acid at their side chain, for example methacrylic acid copolymers, acrylic acid copolymers, itaconic acid copolymers, crotonic acid copolymers, maleic acid copolymers and partially esterified maleic acid copolymers as described in the specifications of JP-A Nos. 59-44615, 59-53836 and 59-71048, and JP-B Nos. 54-34327, 58-12577 and 54-25957. Acidic cellulose derivatives having a carboxylic acid at the side chain are particularly useful. Other useful binders include polymers prepared by adding an acid anhydride to a polymer having a hydroxyl group, polyhydroxystyrene resins, polysiloxane resins, poly(2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol.
[0226]A Hydrophilic monomer may be copolymerized with the alkali-soluble binder. Examples of such monomer include alkoxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate, glycerol (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylamide, N-methylol acrylamide, secondary or tertiary alkyl acrylamide, dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate, morpholine (meth)acrylate, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, N-vinyl caprolactam, vinyl imidazole, vinyl triazole, methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, branched or linear propyl (meth)acrylate, branched or linear butyl (meth)acrylate, and phenoxyhydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate.

Problems solved by technology

Recently, in the color filter for solid state image sensing devices, even higher resolution has become desirable, but the conventional pigment dispersions have difficulties in further improving the resolution.
Because of problems such as the generation of color irregularities due to coarse particles of the pigment, it is not suitable for uses which require fine patterns such as solid state image sensing devices.
(1) Dyes are generally lower in light stability and heat resistance than pigments.
(2) It is difficult to obtain a liquid curing composition having a desired spectrum with a common colorant, because such a colorant is less soluble in aqueous alkaline solution or organic solvent (hereinafter, suitably referred to as solvent).
(3) It is difficult to control the solubility (printing efficiency) of the cured area and the uncured area, because the dye used often interacts with other components in the curing composition.
(4) When the molar absorption coefficient (ε) of the dye used is low, the dye needs to be added in a larger amount and thus, the amounts of the other components in the curing composition such as polymerizable compound (monomer), binder, and photopolymerization initiator must be reduced, which leads to deterioration in the curing efficiency of the composition, the heat resistance after curing, and the developing efficiency of the (non) cured area.
Due to these problems, it has been difficult to form colored patterns that are detailed and have a thin film in high-resolution color filters.
It is thus necessary to add a colorant to the curing composition in a larger amount for obtaining a desired absorption, leading to the problems described above.
