Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a curable composition, an inkjet ink using the same, a cured film, a color filter, a solid-state imaging element, and an image display device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, solvent-free inkjet recording methods have attracted much attention. The solvent-free inkjet recording method is to apply an ink that can be cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays or other radiation to a desired material in an image-like manner, and harden the ink applied in an image-like manner to record an image. In the curable composition used in inkjet, it is important to ensure the dispersion stability of the colorant. If there is a problem with the dispersion stability, it may cause various problems such as the precipitation of aggregated foreign matter on the film or the reduction of the ejection property of the inkjet ink.

[0003] As a method for obtaining a stable inkjet ink, for example, a composition using a pigment derivative is proposed in Patent Document 1. In addition, an inkjet ink using a quinophthalone derivative is disclosed in Patent Document 2. However, although the inkjet inks disclosed in these documents have dispersion stability, there is room for improvement in ejection stability or the rate of change of particle diameter over time.

[0035] From the viewpoint of storage stability, the colorant (A) preferably contains at least one selected from phthalocyanine pigments, isoindoline pigments, azo metal complex pigments, quinophthalone pigments, diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments and anthraquinone pigments, and particularly preferably phthalocyanine pigments, isoindoline pigments, azo metal complex pigments, quinophthalone pigments and anthraquinone pigments.

[0036] (Pigment micronization)

[0037] When the colorant (A) used in the curable composition of the present invention is a pigment, it is preferably used after micronization. The micronization method is not particularly limited. For example, any of wet grinding, dry grinding, and dissolution separation methods can be used. As exemplified in the present invention, a kneader method as a type of wet grinding can be used for salt milling treatment. The average primary particle size of the pigment obtained by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) is preferably in the range of 5nm to 90nm. There is a situation where if it is less than 5nm, it is difficult to disperse, and if it is greater than 90nm, the transmittance is reduced. For this reason, the more preferred average primary particle size is in the range of 10nm to 70nm.

[0038] The so-called salt milling treatment is the following treatment: using a batch or continuous kneading machine such as a kneader, a double-roll mill, a triple-roll mill, a ball mill, a grinder, a sand mill, a planetary mixer, etc., a mixture of a pigment, a water-soluble inorganic salt and a water-soluble organic solvent is mechanically kneaded while being heated, and then the water-soluble inorganic salt and the water-soluble organic solvent are removed by washing with water. The water-soluble inorganic salt acts as a crushing aid, and during salt milling, the high hardness of the inorganic salt is used to crush the pigment. By optimizing the conditions for salt milling the pigment, a pigment with a very fine primary particle diameter, a narrow distribution range, and a sharp particle size distribution can be obtained.

[0039] As the water-soluble inorganic salt, sodium chloride, barium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc. can be used. In terms of price, sodium chloride (salt) is preferably used. In terms of processing efficiency and production efficiency, the water-soluble inorganic salt is preferably used in an amount of 50 to 2000 parts by weight, and most preferably 300 to 1000 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the pigment.

[0040] The water-soluble organic solvent plays a role in wetting the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt. If it is an organic solvent that is dissolved (mixed) in water and does not substantially dissolve the inorganic salt used, it is not particularly limited. Among them, during salt grinding, the temperature rises and the solvent becomes a state that is easy to evaporate. Therefore, in terms of safety, a high boiling point solvent with a boiling point of more than 120°C is preferably used. For example, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-(isopentyloxy)ethanol, 2-(hexyloxy)ethanol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, liquid polyethylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, liquid polypropylene glycol, etc. can be used. The water-soluble organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 5 to 1000 parts by weight, and most preferably 50 to 500 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the pigment.

[0041] When the pigment is subjected to salt milling treatment, a resin may be added as needed. The type of resin used is not particularly limited, and natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, synthetic resins modified from natural resins, etc. may be used. The resin used is preferably solid and water-insoluble at room temperature, and more preferably partially soluble in the organic solvent. The amount of the resin used is preferably in the range of 5 to 200 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the pigment.

[0042] <Pigment derivatives>

[0043] The curable composition of the present invention contains a pigment derivative (B1) represented by the general formula (1) and a pigment derivative (B2) represented by the general formula (2). The pigment derivative (B1) and the pigment derivative (B2) are pigment derivatives having a quinophthalone skeleton.

[0044] There is a situation where most of the pigment derivative is adsorbed on the colorant (A), but a part of it is not adsorbed and is free in the composition. Here, the pigment derivative (B1) having a sulfonic acid group and the pigment derivative (B2) having a sulfonic acid group and a carboxyl group have different acidity. It is speculated that by including two pigment derivatives (B1) and (B2) with different acidity, the pigment derivatives also interact with each other, and the free pigment derivatives are small, so a curable composition with good ejection properties and storage stability can be obtained. Furthermore, it is speculated that the pigment derivative (B1) and the pigment derivative (B2) have the same quinophthalone skeleton, so compared with the case of using two pigment derivatives with different skeletons, the interaction is strong, so the condensed foreign matter is reduced and the particle size change rate over time is also reduced.

[0045] (Pigment derivative (B1))

[0046] The pigment derivative (B1) contained in the curable composition of the present invention is represented by the following general formula (1).

[0115] <Surface Conditioning Agent>

[0116] The curable composition of the present invention may contain a surface conditioner.

[0117] The surface conditioner described in this specification refers to a substance that reduces the surface tension of the curable composition by addition.

On the other hand, by setting the content to 5.0% by mass or less, the storage stability of the curable composition can be easily ensured.

[0120] <Storage stabilizer>

[0121] In order to stabilize the viscosity of the composition over time, the curable composition of the present invention may contain a storage stabilizer.

When preparing the colorant dispersion, two or more colorants may be dispersed in the colorant carrier at the same time, or the obtained products dispersed in the colorant carriers may be mixed. In the case where the solubility of a colorant such as a dye is high, specifically, if the solubility is high in the polymerizable compound (C) used, it is dissolved by stirring, and no foreign matter is confirmed, it is not necessary to finely disperse it as described above.

If a large amount of metal components including these specific metal atoms are present, the storage stability may be impaired, the heat resistance may be reduced, and the ejection property may be deteriorated.

[0132] In addition, a color filter produced using a curable composition containing a large amount of a metal component containing such a specific metal atom may generate foreign matter, which may result in a decrease in transmittance.

[0148] <Printing method>

[0149] There are two types of printing methods based on inkjet printing: single-pass printing and multi-pass printing. The single-pass printing method is a method in which a plurality of inkjet heads are fixedly arranged in a predetermined printing area and printing is performed in a single head scanning method. In contrast, the multi-pass printing method (also called serial printing method) is a method in which printing is performed in a predetermined printing area in multiple head scanning methods.

[0150] In the single-pass printing method, it is preferred to use a wide head with nozzles arranged in parallel over a width greater than the width of the desired coating pattern. When multiple independent coating patterns with discontinuous patterns are formed on the same substrate, it is sufficient to use a wide head at least greater than the width of each coating pattern.

[0156] <Color filter manufacturing method>

[0158] Regarding the formation of filter segments using the printing method, since patterning can be performed by printing a curable composition prepared as an inkjet ink, it is a method for manufacturing a color filter with low cost and excellent mass production. Furthermore, due to the development of printing technology, fine patterns with high dimensional accuracy and smoothness can be printed. In order to print, it is preferred to set the composition so that the ink will not dry or solidify on the printing plate or on the blanket. In addition, the control of the fluidity of the ink on the printing press is also important, and the viscosity of the ink can also be adjusted using a dispersant or a body pigment.

In addition, the filter may also have a structure in which a hardened film forming each color pixel is buried in a space divided into a grid shape by a partition wall, for example. In this case, the partition wall preferably has a lower refractive index than each colored pixel.

[0341] (Curing composition (DD-1))

[0342] A mixed solution of a polymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a polymerization inhibitor was slowly added to the previously prepared pigment dispersion in such a manner as to obtain the formulation described in Table 3, and the obtained mixed solution was stirred. Subsequently, a surface tension adjuster was added to the mixed solution, and the mixture was shaken for 6 hours using an oscillator to prepare a curable composition (DD-1). The obtained curable composition (DD-1) was filtered using a PTFE filter with a pore size of 0.5 μm to remove dust and coarse particles, and was used as an evaluation ink. In addition, the order of adding the raw materials and the order of mixing for obtaining the mixed solution may be different.
