In the ring assemblies, the same or different ring systems can be directly connected to each other through a single bond or a double bond.
[0037] In the present application, since the aryl group includes a ring aggregate, the aryl group includes biphenyl and terphenyl, in which the benzene ring as a single aromatic ring is connected by a single bond. In addition, since the aryl group also includes a compound in which an aromatic ring system condensed with an aromatic monocyclic ring is connected by a single bond, for example, a compound in which fluorene (which is an aromatic ring system condensed with a benzene ring of an aromatic monocyclic ring) is connected by a single bond can also be included.
[0038] The term "fused ring system" as used in this application refers to a fused ring form having at least two atoms in common, including a fused form of two or more hydrocarbon ring systems, and a fused form of at least one heterocyclic ring system including at least one heteroatom. These fused ring systems can be aromatic rings, heteroaromatic rings, aliphatic rings, or a combination of these rings.
[0039] The term "spiro compound" used in the present application has a "spiro union", and a spiro union refers to a connection formed by two rings that share only one atom. In this case, the atom shared by the two rings is called a "spiro atom", and depending on the number of spiro atoms in a compound, it can be called a "monospiro compound", "bispiro compound", or "trispiro compound".
[0040] The term "heterocyclic group" used in the present application includes not only aromatic rings such as "heteroaryl" or "heteroarylidene", but also non-aromatic rings, and unless otherwise specified, refers to a ring having 2 to 60 carbon atoms, each ring including one or more heteroatoms, but is not limited thereto. Unless otherwise specified, the term "heteroatom" used in the present application refers to N, O, S, P or Si, and the heterocyclic group may represent a monocyclic type, a ring aggregate, a fused ring system, a spirocyclic compound, etc. including a heteroatom.
[0041] In addition, the "heterocyclic group" may also include SO 2 For example, the "heterocyclic group" may include the following compounds.

[0043] The term "ring" as used herein includes monocyclic and polycyclic rings, including heterocyclic rings having at least one heteroatom as well as hydrocarbon rings, and may include aromatic and non-aromatic rings.
[0044] The term "polycyclic" used in the present application includes ring assemblies such as biphenyl, terphenyl, etc., fused ring systems and spiro compounds, and includes not only aromatic but also non-aromatic, and includes heterocyclic rings having at least one heteroatom as well as hydrocarbon rings.
[0045] Furthermore, when prefixes are named consecutively, it means that the substituents are listed in the order in which they are first described.
[0046] For example, in the case of arylalkoxy, it refers to an alkoxy group substituted with an aryl group, in the case of alkoxycarbonyl, it refers to a carbonyl group substituted with an alkoxy group, and in the case of arylcarbonylalkenyl, it refers to an alkenyl group substituted with an arylcarbonyl group. Here, the arylcarbonyl group may be a carbonyl group substituted with an aryl group.
[0047] In addition, unless otherwise specified, in the term "substituted or unsubstituted" used in the present application, "substituted" refers to a radical selected from deuterium, halogen, amino, nitrile, nitro, C 1 -C 20 Alkyl, C 1 -C 20 Alkoxy, C 1 -C 20 Alkylamino, C 1 -C 20 Alkylthiophene, C 6 -C 20 Arylthienyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkenyl, C 2 -C 20 Alkynyl, C 3 -C 20 Cycloalkyl, C 6 -C 60 Aryl, C substituted by deuterium 6 -C 20 Aryl, C 8 -C 20 Aryl, alkenyl, silane, boron, germanium and C 2 -C 20 The present invention is substituted by at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of a heterocyclic group (which includes at least one heteroatom selected from O, N, S, Si and P), but is not limited to these substituents.
[0048] In the present application, the "functional group name" corresponding to the aryl group, arylene group, heterocyclic group, etc., which are examples of each symbol and its substituent, may be described as "the name of the functional group reflecting the valence", but may also be described as "the name of the parent compound". For example, in the case of "phenanthrene" which is a kind of aryl group, the monovalent "group" is "phenanthryl (group)", and the divalent group is "phenanthryl (group)", and the name of the group is described by distinguishing the valence. However, regardless of the valence, it can also be described as the parent compound name "phenanthrene".
[0049] Similarly, in the case of pyrimidine, regardless of its valence, it is described as "pyrimidine", in the case of monovalence, it is described as pyrimidinyl (group), in the case of divalence, it is described as pyrimidinyl (group), that is, it is described as a "group name" of the corresponding valence. Therefore, in the present application, when the type of substituent is described as the name of the parent compound, it can represent an n-valent "group" formed by desorption of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms and / or heteroatoms of the parent compound.
[0050] In addition, unless otherwise specified, the chemical formulae used in the present application may be applied in the same manner as the definition of substituents defined by the index definition of the following chemical formulae.
[0051]
[0052] When a is 0, there is no substituent R 1 ; When a is 1, a substituent R 1 When a is 2 or 3, they are combined as follows, in which case R 1 may be the same as or different from each other; when a is an integer of 4 to 6, it is bonded to the carbon of the benzene ring in a similar manner, and the marking of hydrogen bonded to the carbon forming the benzene ring may be omitted.
[0053]
[0054] In the present application, substituents bonded to each other to form a ring refers to that multiple substituents bonded to each other share any atom (e.g., carbon atom and at least one atom in heteroatom O, N, S, Si and P) to form a saturated or unsaturated ring. For example, in the case of naphthalene, adjacent methyl and butadienyl groups substituted on any one benzene ring share a carbon to form an unsaturated ring, or vinyl and propenyl groups share a carbon to form an unsaturated ring. In addition, in the case of fluorene, itself can be considered to be an aryl group with 13 carbon atoms, but it can be considered that two methyl groups substituted on biphenyl are bonded to each other to share a carbon to form a ring.
[0055] In the present application, the organic electronic element may refer to one or more components between an anode and a cathode, or may refer to an organic light emitting diode including an anode, a cathode, and one or more components therebetween.
[0056] In addition, in some cases, the organic electronic element in the present application may refer to an organic light emitting diode and a panel including the organic light emitting diode, or may refer to an electronic device including a panel and a circuit. Among them, for example, the electronic device may include a display device, a lighting device, a solar cell, a portable or mobile terminal (for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a PDA, an electronic dictionary, a PMP, etc.), a navigation terminal, a game console, various televisions, various computer displays, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the electronic device may be any type of device as long as it includes one or more of the components.

[0105] Higher proportions include low molecular weight cardo-based binders.
[0106] For example, the photosensitive resin composition contains 50 to 90 wt %, 51 to 90 wt %, 60 to 85 wt %, or 70 to 80 wt % of the low molecular weight cardo-based binder relative to the sum of the mass of the low molecular weight cardo-based binder and the mass of the high molecular weight cardo-based binder.

[0108] The acrylic adhesive is a copolymer of a first ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a second ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith, and is a resin including one or more acrylate repeating units.
[0109] In order to prevent the excessive solubility of polyamic acid as a polyimide precursor in an alkaline aqueous solution, the polyimide binder can adjust the solubility by copolymerizing the main structure polyimide of the polymer so that an appropriate solubility difference can be obtained between the exposed and unexposed parts during the composition process, and thereby a black pixel separation layer with excellent heat resistance and pattern formation can be realized.
[0110] For example, the polyamic acid-polyimide copolymer includes a polyamic acid repeating unit and a polyimide repeating unit, and the polyamic acid repeating unit and the polyimide repeating unit may be included in a molar ratio of 5:5 to 9:1, for example, 2:8 to 8:2. When the polyamic acid repeating unit and the polyimide repeating unit are included in a molar ratio in the above range, solubility in a solvent used in the composition can be ensured, and appropriate developability can be exhibited in a patterning process. The polyimide-polyamic acid copolymer that can be used has a structure shown in the following chemical formula 5.

[0119] The reactive unsaturated compound may be (meth) acrylic acid having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond, and one or more monofunctional or polyfunctional esters may be used. The reactive unsaturated compound may be a monomer or an oligomer. In this specification, "(meth) acrylic acid" may refer to methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or a mixture of methacrylic acid and acrylic acid.
[0120] The reactive unsaturated compound may be a photopolymerizable compound. Since the reactive unsaturated compound is a photopolymerizable compound, the photosensitive resin composition is sufficiently polymerized during exposure in the pattern forming process, thereby forming a pattern having excellent heat resistance, light resistance, and chemical resistance.
[0121] The reactive unsaturated compound is, for example, one or more selected from ethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol pentaacrylate, pentaerythritol hexaacrylate, bisphenol A epoxy acrylate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, and triacryloxyethyl phosphate, but is not limited thereto.

[0123] In order to impart better developability, a reactive unsaturated compound may be used after the treatment with anhydride.
[0124] The content of the reactive unsaturated compound may be 1 wt % to 40 wt % or 1 wt % to 20 wt % relative to the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition. When the reactive unsaturated compound is included in the above range, hardening occurs sufficiently during exposure in the pattern formation process, reliability is excellent, and the pattern has excellent heat resistance, light resistance and chemical resistance, and also has excellent resolution and adhesion.

When black pigments are used, they can be used together with color correctors (anthraquinone pigments, perylene black pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, azo pigments, etc.).
[0135] In order to disperse the pigment in the photosensitive resin composition, a dispersant may be used together. The pigment may be surface-treated with the dispersant in advance, or may be used by adding the dispersant together with the pigment when preparing the photosensitive resin composition.
[0136] Nonionic dispersants, anionic dispersants, cationic dispersants, etc. can be used as the dispersant. Specific examples of the dispersant include polyalkylene glycols and esters thereof, polyoxyalkylenes, polyol alcohol ester alkylene oxide adducts, alcohol alkylene oxide adducts, sulfonic acid esters, sulfonic acid salts, carboxylates, carboxylates, alkylamide alkylene oxide adducts, alkylamines, etc., which can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0138] The dispersant may be included in an amount of 0.1 to 15 wt % based on the total amount of the photosensitive resin composition. When the dispersant is included within the above range, the photosensitive resin composition has excellent dispersibility and thus has excellent stability, developability, and patternability when manufacturing a light shielding layer.
[0139] The pigment can be used after pretreatment with a water-soluble inorganic salt and a wetting agent. When the pigment is used after pretreatment, the primary particle size of the pigment can be refined. The pretreatment can be carried out by the following steps: kneading the pigment with the water-soluble inorganic salt and the wetting agent, and filtering and washing the pigment obtained in the kneading step. Kneading can be carried out at a temperature of 40° C. to 100° C., and filtering and washing can be carried out by washing the inorganic salt with water and then filtering. Examples of water-soluble inorganic salts include sodium chloride and potassium chloride, but are not limited thereto.
[0140] The wetting agent is used as a medium for uniformly mixing the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt so that the pigment can be easily pulverized, and examples of the wetting agent include alkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, etc.; alcohols, such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, hexanol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol polyethylene glycol, etc. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0141] The pigment subjected to the kneading step may have an average particle diameter of 20 nm to 110 nm. When the average particle diameter of the pigment is within the above range, a fine pattern may be effectively formed while having excellent heat resistance and light resistance.
[0142] The photosensitive resin composition may include the pigment in an amount of 1 to 40 wt %, 1 to 30 wt %, or 2 to 30 wt % based on the total amount thereof.

When the content of the initiator is within the above range, curing may occur sufficiently during exposure in a pattern forming process using the photosensitive resin composition, thereby obtaining excellent reliability, excellent heat resistance, light resistance and chemical resistance of the pattern, and excellent resolution and adhesion, and the reduction in transmittance due to unreacted initiator may be prevented.
[0153] The photosensitive resin composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a solvent.

When the solvent is included within the above range, the photosensitive resin composition has an appropriate viscosity, and thus has excellent processability when manufacturing the light-shielding layer.
[0157] Another embodiment of the present invention may provide a display device.
[0158] A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pattern layer including a polymerized reactant of a photosensitive resin composition.
[0159] In the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention, since matters regarding the photosensitive resin composition are the same as those of the aforementioned photosensitive resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention, they are omitted.
[0160] The polymerized reactant of the photosensitive resin composition may be formed by, for example, coating the photosensitive resin composition on a TFT substrate and curing it.
[0161] By including the polymerized reactant of the photosensitive resin composition, the pattern layer may have excellent resolution and a high taper angle.
[0162] The display device may include a plurality of sub-pixels, and the pattern layer may be a pixel defining layer dividing the plurality of sub-pixels.
[0163] For example, the light emitting device may be located in a sub-pixel of a display device, and the light emitting device may be an organic light emitting device. In an organic light emitting device, for example, a first electrode, an organic layer, and a second electrode may be stacked sequentially. In this example, a pattern layer may be located on the first electrode, and the pattern layer may have an opening on the first electrode. The organic layer may be located in the opening and on the first electrode, and the second electrode may be located on the organic layer. Since the light emitting area of the sub-pixel is determined by the opening area of the pattern layer, the above-mentioned pattern layer may be a pixel definition layer. In addition, the pattern layer may be a light shielding layer that blocks light.
[0164] The pattern layer according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a high taper angle. For example, the pattern layer according to an embodiment of the present invention may have an inclination angle of 20 to 40 degrees. The inclination angle may be an inclination angle in a direction parallel to the display surface at a point where the inclination begins.
[0165] The pattern layer as the above-mentioned pixel defining layer has an opening, and the inclined portion connecting the opening and the non-opening has an inclination angle. The pattern layer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a polymerized reactant of the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition, and the photosensitive resin composition can form a pattern layer without residue, and since the melting flow is suppressed during the pattern formation process, a high inclination angle can be achieved. Therefore, as described above, the pattern layer has a large inclination angle, so that the length of the inclined portion can be shortened, so that the length of the inclined portion can be reduced, so that the distance between the openings can be reduced, so that the sub-pixels can be densely arranged, and the display device can have a high resolution.
[0166] The above description is only an example of the technical idea of the present invention, and a person skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs will be able to make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential features of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention, but are used to explain the technical idea, so the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.

[0228]
[0229] The method for preparing the light-shielding layer using the above composition is as follows.
[0230] (1) Coating and film coating steps
[0231] The black photosensitive resin composition was coated on a washed glass substrate of 10 cm×10 cm in thickness using a spin coater, and then heated at 100° C. for 1 minute to remove the solvent, thereby forming a coating film.
[0232] (2) Exposure Step
[0233] After inserting a mask of a predetermined shape into the obtained coating film to form a desired pattern, the film was irradiated with actinic rays of 190 nm to 500 nm. An exposure machine MA-6 (SUSS) was used at 100 mJ / cm 2 Exposure amount.
[0234] (3) Development step
[0235] After the exposure step, the film was developed in AZEM's AX 300 MIF developer at 25° C. for 1 minute by immersion, and then washed with water to dissolve and remove the unexposed portion, leaving only the exposed portion to form an image pattern.
[0236] (4) Post-processing steps
[0237] In order to obtain a pattern excellent in heat resistance, light resistance, adhesion, crack resistance, chemical resistance, high strength, and storage stability, the image pattern obtained by the above-mentioned development process was post-baked at 230° C. for 30 minutes.
[0238] Regarding the patterns obtained through the above steps, the pattern images were depicted as pictures by using an optical microscope (Nicon), and the taper angles of the patterns were compared using SEM (Hitachi).
[0239] [Table 2]
[0240]
[0241] [Table 3]
[0242]
[0243] Referring to the results of Tables 1 and 2, which analyze the pattern images of the shading layer prepared with the composition of Table 1, it can be confirmed that when polymer A-1, polymer A-2, polymer B-1, polymer C and polymer D are used alone, the resulting patterns have more residues or the size of the patterns is reduced (adhesion is reduced) compared to Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention comprising a cardo-based adhesive with a low molecular weight and a cardo-based adhesive with a high molecular weight.
[0244] If the above results are examined in more detail, it can be seen that when polymer A-1 (a cardo-based binder with a low molecular weight) is used alone, the black pigment is not completely washed away in the image after development, so a large amount of residue remains, and it can be confirmed that the straightness of the pattern edge is also very excellent.
[0245] When polymer A-2 (a cardo-based binder with a high molecular weight) was used alone, the development time was reduced by about 2 times compared to polymer A-1, so the development effect was not good, and it was confirmed that the size of the hole pattern was reduced due to less development in the same development time. However, it was confirmed that the residue in the center of the pattern was improved compared to the residue of polymer A-1 (the breaking point of A-1 was between 10 seconds and 15 seconds, while the breaking point of A-2 was more than 50 seconds, so the phenomenon was not good).
[0246] When polymer B-1 (silane-containing cardo-based binder) was used alone, it was confirmed that its pattern forming properties were intermediate between polymers A-1 and A-2, and a large amount of residue remained at the edge (the breaking point of polymer B-1 was less than 10 seconds).
[0247] When polymer C (polyimide) was used alone, its breaking point was slower than that of polymer A-2, and therefore it was confirmed to be a material that was very difficult to develop, and among the compounds of comparative examples 1-5, it was confirmed to be the least developable material (there were many residues at the edge and center of the pattern).
[0248] When polymer D (acrylic acid derivative) is used alone, the development time is about 12 seconds, which is in the middle of polymer A-1 and polymer B. Its adhesion is lower than that of cardo series adhesives (polymers A-1, A-2, B-1), and there are many residues at the edges.
[0249] When comparing Example 1 in which polymers A-1 and A-2 of the present invention are mixed and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which polymers A-1 and A-2 are used alone, it can be seen that the pattern of Example 1 of the present invention is excellent in developability, and in particular, a clean pattern is obtained with no residue at the edge and center.
[0250] In addition, in the case of Example 2 of the present invention (mixture of Example 1+polymer B-1), the size of the pattern showed a small difference, but it was confirmed that there was no developability and pattern residue, and the adhesiveness was very excellent.
[0251] When using Example 3 of the invention (Example 1 + Polymer D), the size of the pattern is reduced compared to Examples 1 and 2, but a very good pattern can be obtained without problems with developability and residue.
[0252] The results of comparing the taper angles of Example 1 to Example 3 by using SEM images are shown in Table 4 below.
[0253] [Table 4]
[0254]
[0255] Table 4 shows pattern images of Examples 1 to 3 and SEM cross-sectional images of Examples 1 to 3 after developing and after curing.
[0256] In Table 4, Fig.15 The taper angle is measured as shown in FIG.
[0257] As shown in the results of Tables 1 to 4, a typical reason for exhibiting different performances (pattern development, residue problem, low taper angle) depending on the resin (binder) is due to the difference between the over flow angle and the taper angle.
[0258] When a pattern is formed by development in an alkali aqueous solution and then subjected to a post-baking (thermosetting) treatment, the pattern flows under the heat of 250° C. At this time, the phenomenon that the end of the pattern flows downward is called melting flow.
[0259] Overflow refers to a phenomenon in which a pattern flows in large quantities in a molten flow. When overflow occurs after thermal curing, the pattern collapses in large quantities in a hole pattern, so that it can be confirmed that the opening of the pattern becomes smaller and the opening area of the sub-pixel becomes smaller.
[0260] In addition, it can be confirmed that the taper angle increases as the melt flow decreases, and conversely decreases as the melt flow increases. When the taper angle is very low, the opening of the pattern becomes smaller and the opening area of the sub-pixel becomes smaller.
[0261] Images of fine patterns formed in Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 5 below.
[0262] [Table 5]
[0263]
[0264] As can be seen from Table 5, compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2 using polymer A-1 and polymer A-2 alone, Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention using the two types in combination have more excellent adhesion and form fine patterns.
[0265] Adhesion is a measure of how finely square and line patterns can be developed from 1 μm to 11 μm. When polymer A-1 and polymer A-2 were used alone, patterns with a resolution of about 8 μm were formed; when polymer A-1 and polymer A-2 were mixed, patterns with a resolution of about 1 μm were formed. When three cardo-based binders including polymer B are mixed and used, a pattern with a resolution of 1 μm is formed.

[0270] [Table 7]
[0271]
[0272] Referring to Table 6 and Table 7 above, developability, residue, and taper angle of patterns according to the mixing ratio of the polymer A-1 and the polymer A-2 were compared and confirmed (Example 4 to Example 6).
[0273] In Examples 4 to 6, low molecular weight (molecular weight: 4500) cardo-based binder A-1 and high molecular weight (molecular weight: 8500) cardo-based binder A-2 were used at ratios of 7:3, 5:5, and 3:7, respectively.
[0274] In Examples 4 to 6, it can be confirmed that the pattern size is the largest in Example 4, which uses the most polymer A-1, which is 17.5 μm, and the cone angle is 33 degrees, with no residue and excellent display (resolution: 5 μm, breaking point: 17 seconds).
[0275] In the case of Example 5 using polymer A-1 and polymer A-2 in the same proportion, the size of the pattern was 16.9 μm, and there was no residue in the center of the pattern, while there was residue at the edge of the pattern (compared with Example 4, the breaking point increased to 21 seconds as the amount of polymer A-2 increased).
[0276] In the case of Example 6, it was confirmed that the pattern size was the smallest at 14.7 μm, and there were many residues in the center and edge of the pattern. This is because the amount of polymer A-2 used was larger than that of polymer A-1, and the breaking point was the slowest at more than 40 seconds, resulting in a large amount of residues and a small hole pattern size.
[0277] Therefore, it can be confirmed that the compound of the present invention is a photosensitive resin composition containing more polymer A-1 as a low molecular weight cardo-based binder than polymer A-2 as a high molecular weight cardo-based binder, and has very excellent pattern developability and adhesion.
