[0002] In recent years, the touch panel widely used as an input means is composed of a display unit such as a liquid crystal panel and a touch panel sensor for detecting information input to a specific position. As the wiring electrode used in the touch panel sensor, a transparent wiring electrode is usually used from the viewpoint that the wiring electrode is not easy to see, but in recent years, due to high sensitivity and large screens, opaque wiring electrodes using metal materials are becoming popular. There is a problem that the opaque wiring electrode using metal materials is easily visually recognized due to the metallic luster. As a method for making the opaque wiring electrode difficult to be visually recognized, the following wiring substrate (for example, see patent document 1) is proposed, which has a transparent substrate, an opaque wiring electrode patterned on at least one side of the aforementioned transparent substrate, and a transparent protective layer formed on the aforementioned transparent substrate and the aforementioned opaque wiring electrode, the internal reflectivity R1 of the aforementioned opaque wiring electrode forming portion measured from the aforementioned transparent protective layer side of the wiring substrate is less than 0.1%, the refractive index n1 of the aforementioned transparent substrate and the refractive index n2 of the aforementioned transparent protective layer satisfy a specific relationship, and in particular, a wiring substrate having a light shielding layer on the upper part of the opaque wiring electrode is proposed. In addition, as positive photosensitive compositions used in the light-shielding layer, there have been proposed: a photosensitive resin composition comprising a pigment, a Novolac resin, an acrylic resin having a carboxyl group, a photoacid generator, and an amine dispersant (for example, see Patent Document 2); and a positive photosensitive resin composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin (A) having an acrylic group and / or a methacrylic group in a side chain, a photosensitive agent (B), and a colorant (C) (for example, see Patent Document 3).

[0038] First, as a first embodiment of the present invention, a wiring substrate is described. The wiring substrate of the present invention has an opaque wiring electrode on a transparent substrate, and has a light shielding layer at a position corresponding to the opaque wiring electrode. That is, it has a stacked pattern of an opaque wiring electrode and a light shielding layer. A light shielding layer may be provided on the opaque wiring electrode, or an opaque wiring electrode may be provided on the light shielding layer. The light shielding layer has the following functions: suppressing light reflection and light scattering of the opaque wiring electrode, reproducing the jet black with high design, and improving the visual recognition of the design. In addition, a transparent protective layer may be provided on them, and by having a transparent protective layer, the surface of the opaque wiring electrode and the light shielding layer can be protected, and damage can be suppressed. Here, the so-called "transparent" means that the transmittance at a wavelength of 550nm is more than 50%, and "opaque" means that the transmittance at a wavelength of 550nm is less than 50%. It should be noted that the transmittance at a wavelength of 550nm can be measured using an ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer (U-3310: manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation).
[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing an example of the structure of the wiring substrate of the present invention. The wiring substrate 4 has an opaque wiring electrode 2 on a transparent substrate 1 and a light shielding layer 3 on the opaque wiring electrode 2 . Figure 2 Another example of the structure of the wiring substrate of the present invention is shown. The wiring substrate 4 has a light shielding layer 3 on a transparent substrate 1 and has an opaque wiring electrode 2 on the light shielding layer 3 .
[0040] The wiring substrate of the present invention has a stacked pattern of an opaque wiring electrode and a light-shielding layer containing a resin and a coloring component. Furthermore, in the present invention, the average value R1 of the internal diffuse reflectance at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm measured from the light-shielding layer side of the stacked pattern forming portion is 0.03 to 0.11%. Here, the so-called stacked pattern forming portion refers to an area where a stacked pattern is formed, and in addition to a portion corresponding to the stacked pattern, it also includes a non-stacked pattern portion located between adjacent stacked patterns with a distance of less than 1 mm. More specifically, for example, in the case of a stacked pattern having a strip shape, a portion corresponding to the stacked pattern having a strip shape with a spacing of less than 1 mm and a non-stacked pattern portion sandwiched between these stacked patterns are collectively referred to as a stacked pattern forming portion. In addition, for example, in a case having Figure 5 In the case of the grid-shaped stacked pattern shown, the portion corresponding to the grid-shaped stacked pattern with a grid spacing less than 1 mm (stacked pattern portion 12) and the non-stacked pattern portion surrounded by these stacked patterns (non-stacked pattern portion 13) are collectively regarded as the stacked pattern forming portion. On the other hand, the non-stacked pattern portion whose distance between adjacent stacked patterns is more than 1 mm is regarded as the stacked pattern non-forming portion. As mentioned above, although the visual recognition ease caused by the metallic luster of the opaque wiring electrode can be suppressed by the previously known shading layer, there is a tendency for the stacked pattern forming portion to look whitish and blurred due to the light scattering on the surface of the wiring substrate, especially in bright places. According to the research of the inventors of the present application, by stacking the previously known shading layer on the opaque wiring electrode, although the total reflectivity (SCI) of the stacked pattern forming portion can be reduced, the diffuse reflectivity (SCE) is higher than that of transparent wiring electrodes such as ITO. Therefore, the inventors of the present application have studied the relationship between the design visual recognition problem caused by light scattering on the surface of the wiring substrate and the diffuse reflectance, focusing on the diffuse reflectance in the region of wavelengths of 540 to 570 nm with high visual perception. The average value R1 of the internal diffuse reflectance at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm measured from the light shielding layer side of the stacked pattern forming part is an indicator of the diffuse reflectance in the wavelength region with high visual perception. By making R1 greater than 0.03, it is possible to suppress the visual recognition of the boundary between the stacked pattern forming part and the stacked pattern non-forming part due to the difference in diffuse reflectance between the stacked pattern forming part and the stacked pattern non-forming part. R1 is preferably greater than 0.04. On the other hand, by making R1 less than 0.11%, the white fogging of the stacked pattern forming part caused by light scattering on the surface of the wiring substrate can be suppressed, especially even in bright places, and the high-design black is reproduced, thereby improving the design visual recognition.
[0041] Here, the internal diffuse reflectance is equivalent to the diffuse reflectance after removing the reflection caused by the refractive index difference at the interface between the wiring base material surface and the air. Figure 3A schematic diagram showing an example of the construction of a substrate for evaluating the internal diffuse reflectance of a wiring substrate is shown. The wiring substrate 4 has a stacked pattern of an opaque wiring electrode 2 and a light-shielding layer 3 on a transparent substrate 1, and also has a transparent protective layer 6. An anti-reflection film 8 is adhered to the light-shielding layer forming surface of the wiring substrate (here, on the transparent protective layer 6) via an adhesive layer 7, and a black film 9 is adhered to the surface of the transparent substrate 1 on the side opposite to the light-shielding layer via an adhesive layer 7, thereby preparing a substrate 16 for evaluating the internal diffuse reflectance that reduces reflection at the interface between the wiring substrate and the air. It should be noted that, although not shown in the figure, when the wiring substrate is a stacked pattern of a light-shielding layer and an opaque wiring electrode on a transparent substrate and has a light-shielding layer on the transparent substrate side, an anti-reflection film is adhered to the transparent substrate via a transparent adhesive layer, and a black film is adhered to the transparent protective layer via an adhesive layer, thereby preparing a substrate for evaluating the internal diffuse reflectance that reduces reflection at the interface between the wiring substrate and the air. For the obtained stacked pattern forming portion of the substrate for evaluating the internal diffuse reflectance, from the light-shielding layer forming side, that is, on the Figure 3 In the case of the illustrated configuration, the diffuse reflectance at wavelengths of 540, 550, 560, and 570 nm is measured on the antireflection film 8 side using a colorimetric system or the like, and the average value thereof is obtained, thereby being able to calculate the average value R1 of the internal diffuse reflectance.
[0042] The diffuse reflectance is affected by the reflectance of the material forming the light-shielding layer itself, the line width, area, and concavo-convex shape of the light-shielding layer. For example, when the area of the light-shielding layer is the same, the thinner the line width W, the closer the surface of the wiring substrate becomes to the state of the diffusion surface, and there is a tendency for the internal diffuse reflectance to become higher due to the concavo-convex shape of the light-shielding layer. As a method for making R1 0.03 to 0.11%, for example, there can be cited a method in which the ratio of the stacking pattern area to the area of the stacking pattern forming part (stacked pattern area / stacked pattern forming part area, hereinafter referred to as "occupancy") S, the line width W of the stacking pattern, and the thickness T1 of the light-shielding layer are within the preferred range described later, and a method of forming a light-shielding layer by a positive photosensitive resin composition for forming a light-shielding layer of the present invention described later. Among them, from the aspect of less restrictions on the wiring pattern, a method of forming a light-shielding layer by a positive photosensitive resin composition for forming a light-shielding layer of the present invention described later is preferred.
[0043] In the wiring substrate of the present invention, the average internal diffuse reflectance R1 [%], the average internal diffuse reflectance R2 [%] of the non-stacked pattern forming portion at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm, and the occupancy rate S preferably satisfy the relationship of the following formula (1).
[0044] 0.0≤((R1×W)-(R2×(1-S))) / S≤7.0 (1)
[0045] In the stacked pattern forming part, the reflection and scattering of the wiring surface in the area of the area ratio S (stacked pattern part), and the reflection and scattering of the non-wiring surface in the area of the area ratio (1-S) (non-stacked pattern part) affect the diffuse reflectance. In addition, as mentioned above, the diffuse reflectance is affected by the area of the light shielding layer, the concave-convex shape, etc. The (R1×W) in the above formula (1) is an index of the diffuse reflection in the stacked pattern forming part after excluding the influence of the line width. On the other hand, in the non-stacked pattern part, the reflection and scattering of the non-wiring surface in the area of the area ratio (1-S) affect the diffuse reflectance. The average value R2 of the internal diffuse reflectance of the non-stacked pattern forming part at a wavelength of 540 to 570nm is an index of the diffuse reflectance in the wavelength region with high visual perception, and the (R2×(1-S)) in the above formula (1) is an index of the diffuse reflection of the non-wiring surface in the stacked pattern forming part. Then, we focus on the diffuse reflection of the wiring surface per unit area obtained by dividing their difference (i.e., the diffuse reflection of the wiring surface in the stacked pattern forming portion) by the area ratio S. By making them satisfy the relationship of the above-mentioned formula (1), there are fewer restrictions on the wiring pattern, and the visual recognition of the design can be further improved. Here, with respect to the average value R2 of the internal diffuse reflectance of the stacked pattern non-forming portion at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm, it can be calculated in the same way as the aforementioned R1 for the stacked pattern non-forming portion. The value of ((R1×W)-(R2×(1-S))) / S (hereinafter, sometimes described as "diffuse reflection per unit area") is more preferably less than 6.0. As a method satisfying the above-mentioned formula (1), for example, a method of forming a light-shielding layer using a positive photosensitive resin composition for forming a light-shielding layer of the present invention described later can be cited.
[0046] The light transmittance of the opaque wiring electrode at a wavelength of 550nm is preferably 25% or less. In addition, it is preferred to have light-shielding properties for the exposure light used in the method for forming a light-shielding layer described later. Specifically, the light transmittance at a wavelength of 365nm is preferably 15% or less. By making the light transmittance at a wavelength of 365nm less than 15%, the function as a mask in the method for forming a light-shielding layer described later is improved, and the desired light-shielding layer can be formed with better processability. It should be noted that the light transmittance of the opaque wiring electrode can be measured using a micro-surface spectrophotometer (VSS 400: manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries, Ltd.) for a square opaque wiring electrode with a side length of 0.1mm or more.
[0047] As materials constituting the opaque wiring electrodes, for example, conductive materials such as metals such as silver, gold, copper, platinum, lead, tin, nickel, aluminum, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, titanium, and indium, and alloys thereof can be cited. Two or more of these can be used. Among them, silver, copper, and the like are preferably used from the viewpoint of conductivity.
[0048] As a raw material used in the formation of the opaque wiring electrode, conductive particles containing the aforementioned conductive material are preferably spherical in shape. From the viewpoint of improving the dispersibility of the conductive particles, the average particle size of the conductive particles is preferably 0.03 μm or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of making the end of the pattern of the opaque wiring electrode sharp, the average particle size of the conductive particles is preferably 1.0 μm or less. It should be noted that the average particle size of the conductive particles can be obtained by the following method: using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or a transmission microscope (TEM), the conductive particles are magnified and observed at a magnification of 15,000 times, and for 100 randomly selected conductive particles, the length of each major axis is measured, and the number average is calculated.
[0049] The opaque wiring electrode may contain the aforementioned conductive material and an organic component. The opaque wiring electrode may be formed, for example, from a cured product of a photosensitive conductive composition containing conductive particles, an alkali-soluble resin, and a photopolymerization initiator. In this case, the opaque wiring electrode contains a photopolymerization initiator and / or a photodegradable product thereof. The photosensitive conductive composition may contain additives such as a thermosetting agent and a leveling agent as required.
[0050] As the pattern shape of the opaque wiring electrode, for example, a grid shape, a strip shape, etc. can be cited. As the grid shape, for example, a grid shape in which the unit shape is a triangle, a quadrilateral, a polygon, a circle, etc., or a grid shape formed by a combination of these unit shapes can be cited. Among them, from the viewpoint of making the conductivity of the pattern uniform, a grid shape is preferred. The opaque wiring electrode is more preferably a metal grid composed of the aforementioned metal and having a grid pattern. In the case where the opaque wiring electrode has a grid pattern, the occupancy rate S can be reduced by increasing the grid spacing.
[0051] From the viewpoint of improving conductivity, the thickness T2 [μm] of the opaque wiring electrode is preferably greater than 0.1, and more preferably greater than 0.3. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of forming finer wiring, the thickness T2 [μm] of the opaque wiring electrode is preferably less than 10, more preferably less than 5.0, and further preferably less than 3.0. In addition, in the case where the wiring substrate has a transparent protective layer, by making the thickness T2 [μm] of the opaque wiring electrode less than 10, the uneven step difference on the transparent substrate can be reduced, and the generation of bubbles caused by the step difference when the transparent protective layer is stacked can be suppressed. It should be noted that T2 can be measured using a stylus step difference meter.
[0052] From the viewpoint of improving conductivity, the line width of the pattern of the opaque wiring electrode is preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 1.5 μm or more, and further preferably 2 μm or more. On the other hand, when the line width of the pattern of the opaque wiring electrode is the same pattern shape, from the viewpoint of further reducing the value of the internal diffuse reflectance R1 and further improving the visual recognition of the design, it is preferably 10 μm or less, and more preferably 8 μm or less. Here, the line width of the pattern of the opaque wiring electrode can be obtained by using an optical microscope to magnify and observe the stacked pattern forming portion, and measure the line width of the opaque wiring electrode at three randomly selected locations, and calculate the average value.
[0053] The wiring substrate of the present invention has a light-shielding layer containing a resin and a coloring component.
[0054] As the resin, an alkali-soluble resin is preferably used. Here, as the alkali-soluble resin, for example, a resin having a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group can be cited. Among them, a resin having a phenolic hydroxyl group is preferably used. As the resin having a phenolic hydroxyl group, for example, Novolac resins such as phenol Novolac resin and cresol Novolac resin, polymers of monomers having a phenolic hydroxyl group, copolymers of monomers having a phenolic hydroxyl group and styrene, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid monomers, etc. can be cited. Two or more of these can be contained.
[0055] Examples of the coloring component include pigments such as inorganic pigments and organic pigments, and dyes. From the viewpoint of excellent weather resistance, pigments are preferred.
[0056] Examples of the organic pigment include soluble azo pigments, insoluble azo pigments, metal complex salt azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, condensed polycyclic pigments, black organic pigments such as CI Pigment Black 31 and 32, violet organic pigments such as CI Pigment Violet 19, 23, 29, 30, 32, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 50, red organic pigments such as CI Pigment Red 9, 48, 97, 122, 123, 144, 149, 166, 168, 177, 179, 180, 190, 192, 196, 202, 209, 215, 216, 217, 220, 223, 224, 226, 227, 228, 240, 254, 255, 264, and 265, and CI Pigment Blue 15, 15:1, 15:2. :2, 15:3, 15:4, 15:6, 16, 17, 60, 64, 65, 75, 79, 80 and other blue organic pigments, CI Pigment Yellow 12, 13, 17, 20, 24, 74, 83, 86, 93, 95, 109, 110, 117, 120, 125, 129, 138, 139, 150, 151, 175, 180, 181, 185, 192, 194, 199 and other yellow organic pigments, CI Pigment Green 7, 36, 37 and other green organic pigments, CI Pigment Orange 1, 5, 13, 14, 16, 17, 24, 34, 36, 38, 40, 43, 46, 49, 51, 55, 59, 61, 63, 64, 71, 73 and other orange organic pigments, etc.
[0057] Examples of inorganic pigments include carbon black, graphite, metal nitride particles such as titanium nitride and zirconium nitride, pine soot, or iron oxides such as iron black, hematite, goethite and magnetite, chromium, lead, and metal composites thereof. Among these, metal nitride particles are preferred because of their high transmittance to exposure light.
[0058] From the viewpoint of making the average value R1 of the internal diffuse reflectance within the aforementioned range, the coloring component preferably absorbs light at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm. As coloring components that absorb light at a wavelength of 540 to 570 nm, for example, metal nitride particles, red organic pigments, purple organic pigments, blue organic pigments, etc. can be cited. Two or more of them can be contained. Among them, when a high-pressure mercury lamp is used as an exposure light source when the light-shielding layer is formed, metal nitride particles, red organic pigments, purple organic pigments, and blue organic pigments are preferred. When an LED lamp (365 nm) is used, metal nitride particles, red organic pigments, and purple organic pigments are preferred. It is more preferred to include metal nitride particles and purple organic pigments, which can maintain the photosensitivity when an LED lamp (365 nm) is used as a light source when forming the light-shielding layer, and further improve the visual recognition after the light-shielding layer is formed.
[0059] The coloring component more preferably further includes a red organic pigment. By including a red organic pigment, the photosensitivity when an LED lamp (365 nm) is used as a light source when forming the light-shielding layer can be maintained, and the visibility after the light-shielding layer is formed can be further improved.
[0060] The thickness T1 [μm] of the light-shielding layer is preferably 0.2 to 2.0. By making T1 [μm] greater than 0.2, the increase in internal diffuse reflectance caused by the surface unevenness of the opaque wiring electrode can be further suppressed, and R1 can be more easily adjusted to the aforementioned range. On the other hand, by making T1 [μm] less than 2.0, the unevenness step difference on the transparent substrate can be reduced, and the generation of bubbles caused by the step difference when the transparent protective layer is stacked can be suppressed. It should be noted that T1 can be measured using a stylus step meter.
[0061] The line width of the shading layer is preferably equal to the line width of the aforementioned opaque wiring electrode. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improving conductivity, the line width W [μm] of the stacked pattern is preferably greater than 1, more preferably greater than 1.5, and further preferably greater than 2. On the other hand, with respect to the line width W [μm] of the stacked pattern, in the case of the same pattern shape, from the viewpoint of further reducing the value of the internal diffuse reflectance R1 and further improving the visual recognizability of the design, it is preferably less than 10, more preferably less than 8. Here, the line width W of the stacked pattern can be obtained by using an optical microscope to enlarge and observe the stacked pattern forming portion, and measuring the line width of the stacked pattern at three randomly selected locations, and calculating the average value thereof.
[0062] Next, the manufacturing method of the wiring substrate of the present invention is described.
