Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a coloring composition, a coloring cured film and a method for producing the same, a color filter, a display element, a light receiving element, and a curable composition. Background Art

[0002] As a method for manufacturing a colored hardened film such as a color filter, inkjet method, electrodeposition method, printing method, photolithography method, etc. are known. Among these, photolithography has become the mainstream in recent years. In the case of using photolithography to manufacture a color filter, for example, the following method can be used: a colored hardening composition is applied to a substrate to form a coating film, and then a photomask having a predetermined opening pattern is exposed, and then developed to dissolve and remove the unexposed portion, thereby forming a pattern (for example, refer to patent document 1). After the pattern is formed, the following operation is usually performed: post-baking at a temperature of 200°C to 250°C for about 30 minutes to 60 minutes, thereby promoting the hardening of the coating film, improving the film hardness or the solvent resistance of the film, etc.

[0004] [Patent Document]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-144502 Summary of the invention

[0006] [Problems to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Dyes as colorants contained in the colored cured film are considered to be effective in improving the hue or brightness of displayed images during image display by the color purity of the dye itself or the vividness of its hue, and in improving contrast by reducing coarse particles derived from the pigment.

[0008] However, dyes generally have the problem of poor heat resistance. Therefore, it is difficult to heat a coating formed using a coloring composition containing a dye at a post-baking temperature of 200°C to 250°C. In addition, with the expansion of the use of display elements and the like, studies have been conducted on replacing the existing glass substrate with a flexible plastic substrate as a substrate. However, plastic substrates generally have low heat resistance, so when a coating containing a coloring composition is formed on a plastic substrate and heated at a post-baking temperature of 200°C to 250°C, there is a concern that the plastic substrate may stretch or shrink.

[0009] To address this problem, post-baking at the lowest possible temperature is considered. However, if post-baking is performed at a low temperature, the film will not be fully cured, and there is a concern that problems such as reduced solvent resistance will occur. In addition, curable compositions that are highly sensitive at low temperatures generally tend to have poor storage stability.

[0010] The present invention is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and one object is to provide a coloring composition having excellent storage stability and low-temperature curing properties, and capable of obtaining a cured film having excellent solvent resistance. In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a curable composition having excellent storage stability and low-temperature curing properties, and capable of obtaining a cured film having excellent solvent resistance.

[0032] Here, in the coloring composition of the present disclosure, the so-called "containing the partial structure represented by formula (1) and a hydroxyl group in the same molecule or in different molecules of at least one selected from the group consisting of (A) colorant, (B) polymer and (C) polymerizable compound" may be a form in which the partial structure represented by formula (1) and the hydroxyl group are present in the same type of component, or may be a form in which the partial structure represented by formula (1) and the hydroxyl group are present in different types of components. For example, when the (A) colorant has the partial structure represented by formula (1) and a hydroxyl group, a coloring composition containing the partial structure represented by formula (1) and a hydroxyl group can be prepared. Alternatively, when the (A) colorant has the partial structure represented by formula (1) and the (B) polymer has a hydroxyl group, a coloring composition containing the partial structure represented by formula (1) and a hydroxyl group can be prepared.

[0033] In the coloring composition of the present disclosure, from the viewpoint of obtaining a colored cured film with high solvent resistance, the content ratio of the partial structure represented by the formula (1) is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, more preferably 2% by mass or more, and further preferably 5% by mass or more relative to the total amount of all solid components of the coloring composition. In addition, from the viewpoint of making the processability good, the content ratio of the partial structure represented by the formula (1) is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 35% by mass or less, and further preferably 20% by mass or less relative to the total amount of all solid components of the coloring composition.

For example, even if the photopolymerizable compound or additive component (surfactant, etc.) is in a liquid state, these are also included in the solid content.

[0036] (Compound having a partial structure represented by the above formula (1))

[0037] In the formula (1), R 1 and R 2 The alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be linear or branched. From the viewpoint of expelling the reaction product of the partial structure represented by the formula (1) and the hydroxyl group to the outside of the membrane, R 1 and R 2 An alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms is preferred, and a methyl group or an ethyl group is more preferred.

[0038] From the viewpoint of further improving the reaction efficiency with the hydroxyl group, n1 and n2 are preferably 0 or 1, and more preferably 0.

[0039] X 1As long as it is a divalent linking group with electron-withdrawing property, it is not particularly limited. Here, the so-called "divalent linking group with electron-withdrawing property" refers to a group that removes hydrogen atoms from any position of the electron-withdrawing group to form a new bonding bond. In the case described above, it is believed that electron-withdrawing property is exhibited in a bond different from the new bonding bond. Furthermore, the so-called electron-withdrawing group is a substituent having a Hammett substituent constant σp value of 0.15 or more, and more preferably a substituent having a value of 0.2 or more. Regarding the Hammett substituent constant, it is in accordance with Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (1973, Vol. 16, No. 11, 1207-1216).

[0040] From the viewpoint of efficiently carrying out the reaction with the hydroxyl group at a low temperature, X 1 Preferably, it is selected from the group consisting of a carbonyl group (-CO-), an amide group (-CONR 4 -* 1 ), imide group (-CONR 4 CO-), ester group (-CO-O-* 1 ), sulfonyl (-SO2-), sulfinyl (-SO-), thiocarbonyl (-CS-), and carbonimino (-C(=NH)-) at least one of the group consisting of (wherein R 4 A hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, "* 1 " represents the same as L in the formula (1) 1 Of these, X 1 More preferred is an amide group, a carbonyl group or an ester group, and still more preferred is an amide group or a carbonyl group.

[0041] As L 1 Examples of the divalent organic group include an alkanediyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and a group having -O-, -CO-, -COO-, -NH-, -CONH-, etc. between carbon-carbon bonds of the alkanediyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

[0042] The compound having the partial structure represented by the formula (1) (hereinafter, also referred to as the "specific compound") may be a low molecular compound having no repeating unit (hereinafter, also referred to as the "low molecular compound"), or a polymer. In the present specification, the so-called "low molecular compound" is a compound having no molecular weight distribution and preferably having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less. In terms of obtaining a colored film with excellent solvent resistance, the specific compound is preferably a polymer, and specifically, it is preferably a polymer containing a constituent unit (a) having a partial structure represented by the formula (1). When the specific compound is a polymer, the specific compound may be (A) a colorant or (B) a polymer. In addition, the coloring composition may contain (A) a colorant and (B) a polymer as specific compounds.

[0043] The constituent unit (a) only needs to have the partial structure represented by the formula (1), and other partial structures are not particularly limited. In terms of the ease of introducing the partial structure represented by the formula (1) into the side chain of the polymer, the constituent unit (a) is preferably a constituent unit derived from a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group (hereinafter also referred to as an "ethylenically unsaturated monomer"), and more preferably a constituent unit derived from at least one of the group consisting of (meth)acrylic monomers, styrene monomers, and maleimide monomers. Among these, the constituent unit (a) is preferably a constituent unit derived from a (meth)acrylic monomer, and particularly preferably a constituent unit represented by the following formula (1-2). Furthermore, in this specification, the so-called "(meth)acrylic acid" is a concept that includes acrylic acid and methacrylic acid.

[0044] [Chemistry 3]

[0045]

[0046] (In formula (1-2), R 3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R 1 , R 2 , L 1 , X 1 , n1 and n2 have the same meanings as in the formula (1)

[0047] In the formula (1-2), R 1 , R 2 , L 1 , X 1 The description of the above formula (1) can be applied to the description of specific examples and preferred examples of n1 and n2.

[0048] R 3 Preferably, L is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. 1The carbon number is preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 1 to 5, and still more preferably 1 to 3.

[0049] (Hydroxy-containing compounds)

[0050] A compound having a hydroxyl group (hereinafter also referred to as a "hydroxyl-containing compound") only needs to be a compound having at least one hydroxyl group in one molecule. The hydroxyl-containing compound may be a low molecular weight compound or a polymer. In addition, the hydroxyl-containing compound may be the same compound as the specific compound or a different compound. In the case where the hydroxyl-containing compound and the specific compound are the same compound, the compound has a partial structure represented by the formula (1) and a hydroxyl group in one molecule. In the case, the partial structure represented by the formula (1) may also contain a hydroxyl group, but it is preferred that the partial structure represented by the formula (1) and the hydroxyl group exist in different locations (i.e., in different constituent units).

[0051] Here, in the composition of the present disclosure comprising the partial structure represented by the formula (1) and a hydroxyl group, the group “OR 1 " and base "OR 2 " is esterified with a hydroxyl group, thereby forming a cross-linked structure within or between molecules and curing. The ester exchange reaction is a reversible reaction, and the progress of the ester exchange reaction is suppressed when the equilibrium is maintained. Therefore, it is believed that the coloring composition does not cure in a state where the equilibrium is maintained before heating, but stably maintains a mixed state of (A) colorant, (B) polymer and (C) polymerizable compound.

[0052] On the other hand, if the composition is applied and heated to cause equilibrium shift, the radical "OR" in the formula (1) 1 " and base "OR 2 ” and hydroxyl groups. 1 ” or “H-OR 2 " is discharged to the outside of the system and the equilibrium shift occurs, thereby it is considered that a cross-linked structure is formed between the specific compound and the hydroxyl-containing compound, and the composition is cured. In addition, the transesterification reaction can be carried out at a low temperature of, for example, 180°C or less, and the film is cured. It is speculated that by utilizing such a transesterification reaction, according to the coloring composition of the present disclosure, both storage stability and low-temperature curability can be achieved.

That is, the specific compound may be any one of (A) colorant, (B) polymer and (C) polymerizable compound, or two or more of these. Similarly, the hydroxyl-containing compound may be any one of (A) colorant, (B) polymer and (C) polymerizable compound, or two or more of these. In addition, at least one of (A) colorant, (B) polymer and (C) polymerizable compound may contain a compound having a partial structure represented by the formula (1) and a hydroxyl group.

The counter ion can be an organic ion or an inorganic ion. Here, in this specification, the so-called "cationic chromophore" refers to an atomic group with a positive charge.

[0102] Method [2a]: A method in which an epoxy group-containing monomer (or a carboxyl group-containing monomer), a specific group-containing monomer, and a monomer having a pigment structure are used in raw monomers and polymerized to obtain a polymer having an epoxy group in a side chain, and then the polymer is reacted with a carboxyl group-containing compound (or an epoxy group-containing compound) to introduce a hydroxyl group (more specifically, a secondary hydroxyl group) in the side chain.

[0103] Method [3a]: A method of polymerizing raw material monomers containing a monomer containing a specific group and a monomer having a pigment structure using a polymerization initiator having a hydroxyl group (e.g., 2,2'-azobis(2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide) etc.).

[0105] Among these, according to methods [1a] and [2a], a polymer having a hydroxyl group in the side chain can be obtained. In addition, according to methods [3a] and [4a], a polymer having a hydroxyl group at the end of the main chain can be obtained. Here, in this specification, the term "having a hydroxyl group at the end of the main chain" means forming a bond with a structural unit that does not form a bond with an adjacent structural unit in the main chain structure.

[0106] In method [2a], the monomer containing an epoxy group is preferably a (meth)acrylic monomer, for example, a (meth)acrylic monomer containing an oxetane group such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate; a (meth)acrylic monomer containing an alicyclic epoxy group such as 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate; a (meth)acrylic monomer containing an oxetane group such as (3-ethyl-3-oxetane)methoxymethyl (meth)acrylate, etc. As the carboxyl group-containing compound, a compound having a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated bond is preferred, a (meth)acrylic compound is more preferred, and (meth)acrylic acid is particularly preferred. In terms of the ease of adjusting the amount of hydroxyl groups possessed by the polymer and the relatively simple acquisition of a hydroxyl group-containing polymer, the polymer (A1-1) is preferably a polymer having a hydroxyl group at least in the side chain.

[0107] In polymer (A1-1), from the viewpoint of obtaining a colored cured film with high solvent resistance, the content ratio of the constituent unit having a hydroxyl group is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, more preferably 1% by mass or more, and further preferably 5% by mass or more relative to all the constituent units possessed by the polymer (A1-1). In addition, from the viewpoint of achieving good storage stability, the content ratio of the constituent unit having a hydroxyl group is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 45% by mass or less, and further preferably 40% by mass or less relative to all the constituent units possessed by the polymer (A1-1).

[0109] (Regarding hydroxyl-containing compounds)

[0110] In one form of the coloring composition disclosed herein, the (A) colorant includes a hydroxyl-containing compound. The hydroxyl-containing compound as the (A) colorant may be a low molecular compound or a polymer. In the case of using a low molecular compound having a hydroxyl group as the (A) colorant, the low molecular compound is preferably a dye (hereinafter also referred to as "hydroxyl-containing dye (A2-1)") in terms of obtaining a colored cured film with high brightness and color purity. The hydroxyl-containing dye (A2-1) may be any one of a nonionic dye and an ionic dye, and in the case of an ionic dye, may be any one of an anionic dye and a cationic dye.

[0111] The number of hydroxyl groups in the hydroxyl-containing dye (A2-1) is preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 2 to 8, from the viewpoint of achieving both solvent resistance and storage stability.

[0112] As the hydroxyl-containing dye (A2-1), for example, the hydroxyl-containing dye described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-173850 Gazette, International Publication No. 2014 / 192973 Handbook, etc. can be cited. In addition, the exemplified known dyes can be used as raw materials and manufactured using known methods. The hydroxyl-containing dye (A2-1) can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0113] When a polymer having a hydroxyl group is used as the colorant (A), as the polymer, in addition to the polymer (A1-1), a polymer having a hydroxyl group and a pigment structure and not having a partial structure represented by the formula (1) (hereinafter also referred to as "hydroxyl-containing polymer (A2-2)") can be listed. The hydroxyl-containing polymer (A2-2) only needs to have a hydroxyl group and a pigment structure, and the position of the hydroxyl group is not particularly limited. That is, the hydroxyl-containing polymer (A2-2) may have a hydroxyl group in the side chain, may have a hydroxyl group at the end of the main chain, or may have a hydroxyl group at both the side chain and the end of the main chain. As a method for obtaining the hydroxyl-containing polymer (A2-2), a method of polymerization without using a monomer containing a specific group can be listed among the methods [1a] to [4a] described in the polymer (A1-1). Furthermore, when producing the hydroxyl-containing polymer (A2-2), only one of these methods may be used, or two or more methods may be combined. The polymer (A2-2) is preferably a polymer having a hydroxyl group at least in a side chain, because the amount of the hydroxyl group can be easily adjusted and a hydroxyl-containing polymer can be obtained relatively easily.

Mw is preferably 3,000 or more. In addition, Mw is preferably 50,000 or less. If Mw is 1,000 or more, the pattern shape is good, which is preferred in this respect. If it is 100,000 or less, the resolution time will not be too long, which is preferred from the perspective of ensuring processability. In addition, when the colorant (A) is a polymer, the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the Mw of the polymer to the number average molecular weight (Mn) is preferably 1.0 to 5.0, and more preferably 1.0 to 3.0.

[0116] (Other colorants)

[0117] The coloring composition may contain only at least one of a specific compound and a hydroxyl group-containing compound as the coloring agent (A), but may also use a coloring agent (hereinafter also referred to as "other coloring agent") that does not have any of the partial structure represented by the formula (1) and the hydroxyl group as the coloring agent (A). In addition, when at least one component selected from the group consisting of the polymer (B) and the polymerizable compound (C) contains the partial structure represented by the formula (1) and the hydroxyl group, the coloring composition may contain only the other coloring agent as the coloring agent (A).

[0127] Furthermore, when using pigment, the pigment can also be refined by recrystallization, reprecipitation, solvent cleaning, sublimation, vacuum heating or a combination thereof. In addition, the particle surface of the pigment can be modified by resin as needed. In addition, when using organic pigment, the primary particles can be micronized by so-called salt milling. As a method for salt milling, for example, the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-179111 can be adopted.

[0128] Dye is not particularly limited, for example, in addition to being able to use the compound that is classified as dye (Dye) in the dye index, also known dye can be used. As such dye, the known dyes exemplified can be enumerated. Among them, from the viewpoint of heat resistance, preferably triarylmethane dyes, cyanine dyes, xanthene dyes, anthraquinone dyes, dipyrromethene dyes, squarylium dyes and phthalocyanine dyes.

[0134] The content ratio of the dye in the (A) colorant is preferably set to 5% by mass or more relative to the total amount of the (A) colorant. Generally, due to the poor heat resistance of the dye, it is difficult to heat the coating film at a post-baking temperature of more than 200°C when using a coloring composition containing a dye to form a cured film. In contrast, the coloring composition disclosed in the present invention can form a cured film with excellent solvent resistance even if it is post-baked at a temperature of less than 200°C, preferably less than 180°C. Therefore, the coloring composition disclosed in the present invention can increase the content ratio of the dye and can be suitably used in the production of various color filters.

[0214] [Color filter and method for manufacturing the same]

[0215] The color filter disclosed herein includes a colored layer formed using the colored composition.

[0216] As a method for manufacturing a color filter, first, a light-shielding layer (black matrix) is formed on the surface of a substrate in a manner that divides the parts that form pixels as needed. Then, after applying a green coloring composition (liquid composition) on the substrate, it is dried under reduced pressure or pre-baked to evaporate the solvent to form a coating (film forming process). Then, after the coating is exposed through a photomask (exposure process), an alkaline developer is used for development (development process). At this time, in the case of a positive type, the exposed portion of the coating is dissolved and removed, and in the case of a negative type, the unexposed portion of the coating is dissolved and removed. Thereafter, a pixel array is formed by post-baking (heating process), and the pixel array is arranged with a green pixel pattern in a specified arrangement.

[0217] Then, using each coloring composition of red or blue, each coloring composition is coated, dried, exposed, developed and post-baked in the same manner as described above, and a red pixel array and a blue pixel array are sequentially formed on the same substrate. Thus, a color filter having a pixel array of the three primary colors of green, red and blue is obtained on the substrate. Among them, the order in which the pixels of each color are formed is not limited to the order described. The black matrix can be formed by setting a metal film of chromium or the like formed by sputtering or evaporation to a desired pattern using a photolithography method. In addition, a coloring composition in which a black colorant is dispersed can also be used and formed in the same manner as the pixel is formed.

[0218] Examples of the substrate used for forming the color filter include glass, silicon, polycarbonate, polyester, aromatic polyamide, polyamideimide, polyimide, etc. If necessary, these substrates may be subjected to appropriate pretreatment such as chemical treatment using a silane coupling agent, plasma treatment, ion plating, sputtering, gas phase reaction method, vacuum evaporation, etc.

[0219] When the coloring composition is applied to the substrate, a suitable coating method such as a spray method, a roller coating method, a spin coating method (spin coating method), a slit die coating method (slit coating method), a rod coating method, etc. can be used. Among these, in particular, in terms of obtaining a coating with a uniform film thickness, it is preferred to use a spin coating method and a slit die coating method. After coating, reduced pressure drying is performed to form a coating on the substrate. Reduced pressure drying is usually carried out at room temperature for 1 minute to 15 minutes, preferably 1 minute to 10 minutes, and is usually carried out at a pressure of 50Pa to 200Pa. The formation of the coating can be carried out by a heating treatment (pre-baking) at a temperature lower than the post-baking temperature. The coating thickness is usually 0.6μm to 8μm, preferably 1.2μm to 5μm, based on the film thickness after drying.

[0220] As the light source of radiation used for exposure, for example, there can be listed: xenon lamp, halogen lamp, tungsten lamp, high pressure mercury lamp, ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, metal halide lamp, medium pressure mercury lamp, low pressure mercury lamp and other lamp light sources or argon ion laser, yttrium aluminum garnet (Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet, YAG) laser, XeCl excimer laser, nitrogen laser and other laser light sources. Ultraviolet light emitting diode (Light-Emitting Diode, LED) can also be used as the exposure light source. Preferably, the radiation has a wavelength in the range of 190nm to 450nm, and more preferably, the radiation has a wavelength in the range of 300nm to 450nm. The exposure amount of the radiation is usually preferably 10J / m 2 ~10,000J / m 2 The radiation exposure is more preferably 100 J / m 2More than 200 J / m 2 In addition, the radiation exposure is more preferably 5,000 J / m 2 Below, more preferably 2,000 J / m 2 the following.

[0221] As the alkaline developer, for example, aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, choline, 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene, 1,5-diazabicyclo-[4.3.0]-5-nonene, etc. are preferred. An appropriate amount of a water-soluble organic solvent or a surfactant such as methanol or ethanol may be added to the alkaline developer. Furthermore, water washing is usually performed after alkali development. As the development treatment method, the following may be applied: a shower development method, a spray development method, an immersion (dip) development method, a puddle (puddle) development method, etc. The development conditions are preferably performed at room temperature for 5 seconds to 300 seconds.

[0222] Post-baking is performed by heating the patterned coating at 70°C to 230°C. Considering the curability or solvent resistance, the improvement of adhesion to the substrate, the suppression of color shift, and the protection of the substrate, the post-baking temperature can be set at a heating temperature of, for example, 70°C to 120°C, 120°C to 180°C, 180°C to 240°C, etc., depending on the application. At this time, in order to make the group "OR 1 " and base "OR 2 " The ester exchange reaction between at least one of the hydroxyl-containing compounds and the OH group of the hydroxyl-containing compound is fully carried out, and a temperature higher than the boiling point of the alcohols contained in the coloring composition can also be set as the heating temperature during post-baking. The heating time during post-baking can be appropriately set according to the heating temperature, for example, at a low temperature of 70°C to 120°C, it is usually 5 minutes to 120 minutes, preferably 30 minutes to 100 minutes. The film thickness of the colored cured film (i.e., pixel) formed on the substrate is usually 0.5μm to 5μm, preferably 1.0μm to 3μm.

[0223] After forming a protective film as needed on the pixel pattern thus obtained, a transparent conductive film is formed by sputtering. After forming the transparent conductive film, a spacer can also be formed to make a color filter. Usually, a transparent photosensitive resin composition is used to form the spacer, but a spacer with light-shielding properties (black spacer) can also be made. In the case, a photosensitive coloring composition dispersed with a black colorant is used. The coloring composition disclosed in the present invention can also be suitably used to form the black spacer.

[0224] The coloring composition disclosed herein can also be suitably used to form any coloring cured film such as each color pixel, black matrix, black spacer, etc. used in color filters. The color filter thus formed has high brightness and color purity, and is particularly useful for color liquid crystal display elements, solid-state imaging elements, color sensors, organic electroluminescence (EL) display elements, electronic paper, etc.
