DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] <Display device>

[0052] The display device comprises a blue light source (A), a wavelength conversion layer (B), and a light absorption layer (C). The display device is a device that emits light from the blue light source (A) to the wavelength conversion layer (B), and extracts the emitted light through the light absorption layer (C).

[0053] The wavelength conversion layer (B) is composed of a first wavelength conversion layer (B1) and a second wavelength conversion layer (B2), wherein the first wavelength conversion layer (B1) contains a compound (Q1) that absorbs blue and emits red light (hereinafter also referred to as the luminescent compound (Q1)), and the second wavelength conversion layer (B2) contains a compound (Q2) that absorbs blue and emits green light (hereinafter also referred to as the luminescent compound (Q2)).

[0054] The so-called "luminescence" refers to the property of emitting light. The luminescence is preferably the property of emitting light by excitation of electrons, and more preferably the property of emitting light by excitation of electrons using excitation light. The peak wavelength of the excitation light may be, for example, 200 nm to 800 nm, 250 nm to 750 nm, 300 nm to 700 nm, or 300 nm to 600 nm.

[0055] “Blue” refers to all light recognized as blue (all light having intensity in a blue wavelength region, for example, 380 nm to 495 nm), and is not limited to light of a single wavelength.

[0056] “Green” refers to all light that is recognized as green (all light having intensity in the green wavelength region, for example, 495 nm to 585 nm), and is not limited to light of a single wavelength.

[0057] “Red” refers to all light that is recognized as red (all light having intensity in the red wavelength region, for example, 585 nm to 780 nm), and is not limited to light of a single wavelength.

[0058] “Yellow” refers to all light that is recognized as yellow (all light having intensity in the yellow wavelength region, for example, 560 nm to 610 nm), and is not limited to light of a single wavelength.

[0059] The display device may also include layers such as a light guide plate, a reflective film, a diffusion film, a brightness enhancement portion, a prism sheet, and a dielectric material layer between components, which will be described later.

[0060] The first wavelength conversion layer (B1) and the second wavelength conversion layer (B2) can be directly arranged on the blue light source (A), or can also be arranged on a light guide plate, and the above-mentioned light guide plate is arranged between the blue light source (A) and the first wavelength conversion layer (B1) and the second wavelength conversion layer (B2) in the optical path of the light from the blue light source (A).

[0061] The display device may have a blue light source (A), a wavelength conversion layer (B), and a light absorption layer (C) in this order in the optical path of light from the blue light source (A).

[0062] The display device can exhibit a wide color gamut and excellent energy efficiency when conditions (1) and (2) are met. In a display device having a blue light source, a wavelength conversion layer containing a luminescent compound, and a light absorbing layer, a portion of the light from the blue light source leaks out of the wavelength conversion layer, thereby reducing the peak intensity of the light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer, and sometimes the target chromaticity and luminous intensity cannot be obtained. In order to suppress such leakage of light from the blue light source, it is considered to increase the thickness of the wavelength conversion layer, but when the thickness is too large, there is a tendency for the wavelength conversion layer to be difficult to form. The results of the study found that when the product of the thickness of the wavelength conversion layer and the content of the luminescent compound in the wavelength conversion layer is set to a fixed value or more, it is easy to suppress a portion of the light from the blue light source from leaking out of the wavelength conversion layer within the thickness range in which the wavelength conversion layer can be formed, thereby obtaining a wide color gamut and excellent energy efficiency.

[0063] <Condition (1)>

[0064] The value X1 obtained by dividing the product of the thickness T1 [μm] of the first wavelength conversion layer (B1) and the content W1 [mass %] of the above-mentioned luminescent compound (Q1) in the first wavelength conversion layer (B1) by 100 [X1 = (T1×W1) / 100] (hereinafter, also referred to as X1) is 0.7 or more.

[0204] In resin [f1], the ratio of the structural units derived from each monomer is preferably 2 mol% to 70 mol% of the structural units derived from (a), and 30 mol% to 98 mol% of the structural units derived from (c), based on the total structural units constituting resin [f1]. In addition, it is more preferred that the structural units derived from (a) are 10 mol% to 70 mol%, and the structural units derived from (c) are 30 mol% to 90 mol%.

[0205] When the ratio of the structural unit of the resin [f1] is within the above range, the storage stability of the curable composition, the developability when forming a cured pattern, and the solvent resistance of the obtained cured pattern tend to be excellent.

[0206] Resin [f1] can be produced, for example, by referring to the method described in the document "Experimental Methods for Polymer Synthesis" (written by Takayuki Otsu, Chemical Dojin Publishing Co., Ltd., 1st edition, 1st printing, published on March 1, 1972) and the comparative documents described in the document.

[0207] Specifically, the following method can be cited: respectively placing a specified amount of (a) and (c), a polymerization initiator, and a solvent into a reaction vessel, for example, replacing oxygen with nitrogen, thereby forming a deoxygenated environment, and heating and keeping warm while stirring. It should be noted that the polymerization initiator and solvent used here are not particularly limited, and polymerization initiators and solvents commonly used in this field can be used. For example, as a polymerization initiator, it can be cited: azo compounds (2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), etc.), organic peroxides (benzoyl peroxide, etc.). As a solvent, as long as it is a solvent that dissolves each monomer, it can be cited as a solvent (K) that can be present in the curable composition of the present invention and the solvent described later.

[0208] It should be noted that the obtained copolymer may be used directly as a solution after the reaction, or as a concentrated or diluted solution, or as a solution extracted in the form of a solid (powder) by a method such as reprecipitation. In particular, as a solvent during the above-mentioned polymerization, a solvent (K) described later is used, whereby the solution after the reaction can be directly used for the preparation of the curable composition of the present invention, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the curable composition of the present invention.

[0209] The resin [f2] can be produced by obtaining a copolymer of (a) and (c), and adding the cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms contained in (b) to the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic anhydride derived from (a).

[0210] First, a copolymer of (a) and (c) is produced in the same manner as described as the method for producing the resin [f1]. In this case, the ratio of the structural units derived from each is preferably the same as the ratio listed for the resin [f1].

[0211] Next, the cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms contained in (b) is subjected to an addition reaction with a part of the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic anhydride derived from (a) in the above copolymer.

[0212] After producing the copolymer of (a) and (c), the atmosphere in the flask is replaced from nitrogen to air, and (b), a reaction catalyst (e.g., tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, etc.) and an inhibitor (e.g., hydroquinone) for the reaction between carboxylic acid or carboxylic anhydride and cyclic ether are placed in the flask, and the reaction is carried out at, for example, 60°C to 130°C for 1 hour to 10 hours, thereby producing resin [f2].

[0213] The amount of (b) used is preferably 5 to 80 mol, more preferably 10 to 75 mol, relative to 100 mol of (a). By setting it within this range, there is a tendency that the storage stability of the curable composition, the developability when forming a cured pattern, and the balance of the solvent resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength and sensitivity of the obtained cured pattern become better.

[0214] The amount of the reaction catalyst used is preferably 0.001 to 5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (a), (b) and (c). The amount of the polymerization inhibitor used is preferably 0.001 to 5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (a), (b) and (c).

[0215] The reaction conditions such as the addition method, reaction temperature and time can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the production apparatus, the heat generated by polymerization, etc. It should be noted that the addition method and reaction temperature can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the production apparatus, the heat generated by polymerization, etc., similarly to the polymerization conditions.

[0216] As for resin [f3], as the first stage, a copolymer of (b) and (c) is obtained in the same manner as the method for producing resin [f1]. The copolymer obtained may be used directly as a solution after the reaction, or may be used as a concentrated or diluted solution, or may be used as a solution extracted in the form of a solid (powder) by a method such as reprecipitation.

[0217] The ratio of the structural units derived from (b) and (c) to the total molar number of all structural units constituting the above copolymer is preferably 5 mol% to 95 mol% for the structural units derived from (b), and 5 mol% to 95 mol% for the structural units derived from (c). It is more preferred that the structural units derived from (b) are 10 mol% to 90 mol%, and the structural units derived from (c) are 10 mol% to 90 mol%.

[0218] Furthermore, resin [f3] can be obtained by addition reacting the carboxylic acid or carboxylic anhydride contained in (a) with the cyclic ether derived from (b) contained in the copolymer of (b) and (c) under the same conditions as the method for producing resin [f2].

[0219] The amount of (a) to be reacted with the copolymer is preferably 5 to 80 mol relative to 100 mol of (b).

[0570] [Method for producing light absorbing layer (C)]

[0571] The light absorbing layer (C) is, for example, a yellow curable resin composition (Ey), a red curable resin composition (Er), a green curable resin composition (Eg) and a blue curable resin composition (Eb) (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as a colored curable resin composition (E)) to form a yellow pattern, a red pattern, a green pattern and a blue pattern (hereinafter, also collectively referred to as a colored pattern) on a substrate, respectively, thereby manufacturing a light absorbing layer (CY), a first light absorbing layer (C1), a second light absorbing layer (C2), and a third light absorbing layer (C3).

[0572] As a method for forming a colored pattern from a colored curable resin composition (E), there can be mentioned: photolithography, inkjet method, printing method, etc., and preferably photolithography. Photolithography is a method in which a colored curable resin composition (E) is applied to a substrate, dried to form a colored curable resin composition layer, and the colored curable resin composition layer is exposed and developed via a photomask. In the photolithography method, a colored coating film as a cured product of the colored curable resin composition layer can be formed by not using a photomask during exposure and / or not developing. The colored pattern or colored coating film formed by the colored curable resin composition (E) is the light absorbing layer (C) of the present invention.

[0573] As the substrate, a glass plate such as quartz glass, borosilicate glass, aluminosilicate glass, soda-lime glass coated with silicon dioxide on the surface, a resin plate such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene terephthalate, silicon, or a substrate having an aluminum, silver, silver / copper / palladium alloy thin film formed thereon can be used. Other light absorbing layers, resin layers, transistors, circuits, etc. can also be formed on these substrates. The substrate can also be included in the light absorbing layer (C).

[0574] Each color and its formation by photolithography can be performed by a known or permitted device and condition. For example, it can be produced as follows.

[0575] First, the colored curable resin composition (E) is applied onto a substrate, and volatile components such as a solvent are removed by heating and drying (prebaking) and / or drying under reduced pressure, and then dried to obtain a smooth colored curable resin composition layer.

[0576] Examples of the coating method include spin coating, slit coating, and slit spin coating.

[0577] The temperature for heating and drying is preferably 30°C to 120°C, more preferably 50°C to 110°C. In addition, the heating time is preferably 10 seconds to 60 minutes, more preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. In the case of reduced pressure drying, it is preferably carried out under a pressure of 50Pa to 150Pa and a temperature range of 20°C to 25°C. The film thickness of the colored curable resin composition layer is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to the film thickness of the target light absorbing layer.

[0578] Next, the colored curable resin composition layer is exposed through a photomask for forming a target colored pattern.

[0579] The pattern on the photomask is not particularly limited, and a pattern corresponding to the target application can be used. As the light source used for exposure, a light source that generates light with a wavelength of 250nm to 450nm is preferred. For example, a filter that cuts off this wavelength range can be used to cut off light less than 350nm, or a bandpass filter that extracts light in the wavelength range near 436nm, 408nm, and 365nm can be used to selectively extract these wavelength ranges. Specific examples of light sources include mercury lamps, light emitting diodes, metal halide lamps, and halogen lamps.

[0580] In order to uniformly irradiate the entire exposure surface with parallel light or accurately align the photomask and the substrate on which the colored curable resin composition layer is formed, it is preferable to use an exposure device such as a mask aligner and a stepper.

[0581] The exposed colored curable resin composition layer is brought into contact with a developer and developed to form a colored pattern on the substrate. By developing, the unexposed portion of the colored curable resin composition layer is dissolved in the developer and removed.

[0582] As the developer, for example, an aqueous solution of an alkaline compound such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, or tetramethylammonium hydroxide is preferable.

[0583] The concentration of the basic compound is preferably 0.01% by mass to 10% by mass, and more preferably 0.02% by mass to 5% by mass. The developer may contain a surfactant.

[0584] The developing method may be any of a liquid coating method, an immersion method, a spray method, etc. Furthermore, during the development, the substrate may be tilted at any angle.

[0585] The developed substrate is preferably washed with water.

[0586] Furthermore, it is preferable to post-bake the obtained colored pattern.

[0587] The post-baking temperature is preferably 150° C. to 250° C., more preferably 160° C. to 235° C. The post-baking time is preferably 1 minute to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 minutes to 60 minutes. In order to impart various properties to the coloring pattern and coloring coating film, i.e., the light absorbing layer obtained in this way, a surface coating treatment may be further applied.

[0645] As the polarizer, any appropriate polarizer can be used. Examples include: films obtained by uniaxially stretching a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol film, or a partially saponified film of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer by adsorbing a dichroic substance such as iodine or a dichroic dye; and polyolefin-based oriented films such as a dehydrated product of polyvinyl alcohol or a dehydrochlorinated product of polyvinyl chloride. Among them, a polarizer obtained by uniaxially stretching a polyvinyl alcohol film by adsorbing a dichroic substance such as iodine is particularly preferred because of its high polarization dichroism.
