Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photosensitizer materials. More specifically, it relates to a photosensitizer, a positive polyimide photosensitive resin composition containing the same, a polyimide cured film, and a display device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of display technology, especially the application of under-screen camera technology, higher requirements are put forward for the transmittance and yellowness of display materials. The film layers formed after thermal curing of the photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) lithography materials commonly used in the planarization layer and pixel definition layer of display panels have insufficient transmittance in the visible light region, and often there is a significant light yellow color of the polyimide material - the yellowness value is too high.

[0003] Currently, there are many factors leading to the yellowing of polyimide photoresist during curing. One important factor is that during the curing process of the photosensitive adhesive layer, the non-photosensitive part reacts with other components such as photosensitive resin and functional additives to cause yellowing. The reaction mainly occurs because the structure of the commonly used photosensitizer is mostly a polyphenyl structure with many benzene rings. This structure is prone to cause intramolecular and intermolecular conjugation effects when the photoresist finally forms a film, resulting in serious yellowing of the cured photoresist film and reducing the transmittance of the cured film layer within the visible light wavelength range.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a polyimide photosensitizer material with high transmittance and a smaller yellowness value in the visible light range (400 - 780 nm) to support the higher technical application requirements in the display field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the first object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitizer. The photosensitizer can effectively inhibit the yellowing reaction, improve the transmittance of the polyimide cured film. Especially when it is applied at a wavelength of 400 nm, its transmittance can be increased to more than 85%, and while increasing the transmittance, it can also maintain the lithographic sensitivity and the cured residue film rate after lithography.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a highly transparent positive polyimide photosensitive resin composition containing the above-mentioned photosensitizer.

[0007] The third object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive polyimide cured film.

[0008] The fourth object of the present invention is to provide a display device containing the above-mentioned polyimide cured film.

[0009] To achieve the above first object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] The present invention discloses a photosensitizer, and the structural general formula of the photosensitizer is shown as Formula I;

[0011]

[0012] In Formula I,

[0013] R1, R2, and R3 each independently represent a divalent organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms;

[0014] D represents H or a group shown in Formula II, and at least one D represents a group shown in Formula II.

[0015] Furthermore, R1, R2, and R3 each independently represent a divalent organic group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Preferably, R1, R2, and R3 each independently represent an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

[0016] Furthermore, D represents a group shown in Formula II.

[0017] Furthermore, R1, R2, and R3 represent the same group.

[0018] Furthermore, the photosensitizer is selected from one of the structures shown in the following Formulas I1 to I12:

[0019]

[0020]

[0021] To achieve the above second object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0022] The present invention discloses a highly transparent positive polyimide photosensitive resin composition. By weight, the polyimide photosensitive resin composition comprises

[0023] 10 - 35 parts of a photosensitizer composition;

[0024] 95 - 105 parts of a polyimide-based resin;

[0025] 15 - 25 parts of a crosslinking agent;

[0026] 0.5 - 5 parts of a leveling agent;

[0027] 0.1 - 2 parts of an adhesive;

[0028] wherein, the photosensitizer composition includes at least two photosensitizers as described above.

[0029] Furthermore, the solid content of the polyimide photosensitive resin composition is 8% - 20%.

[0030] Further, the photosensitizer composition is a mixture, and the effect of inhibiting the yellowing reaction is also affected by the composition of the photosensitizer composition. In a specific embodiment, the composition of the photosensitizer composition is restricted according to the proportional relationship of different groups. When the molar ratio of the group of formula II to H is 1:1 - 5:1, the effect of inhibiting the yellowing reaction is significant. Exemplarily, the molar ratio of the group of formula II to H can be 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, etc.

[0031] Further, the composition of the photosensitizer composition can also be restricted according to the preparation method. The following exemplarily provides a preparation method of the photosensitizer composition, including the following steps:

[0032] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, dissolve the compound of formula I-1 and 5-naphthoquinone diazosulfonyl chloride in an organic solvent. At room temperature, dropwise add an organic solvent in which triethylamine is dispersed thereto, and control the temperature in the reaction system during the dropping process not to exceed 35°C. After the dropping is completed, stir and react at room temperature for 1.5 - 2.5 h, filter, pour the filtrate into water, then filter out the precipitate, and dry the precipitate to obtain the product;

[0034]

[0035] R1, R2, and R3 each independently represent a divalent organic group having 1 - 10 carbon atoms.

[0036] In the above preparation method of the photosensitizer composition, mainly affecting the group selection of R1, R2, and R3 in the structure of the compound of formula I by changing the structure of the compound of formula I-1, and mainly affecting the molar ratio of the group of formula II to H in the photosensitizer composition by adjusting the molar ratio of the compound of formula I-1 and 5-naphthoquinone diazosulfonyl chloride.

[0037] Further, the molar ratio of the compound of formula I-1 to 5-naphthoquinone diazosulfonyl chloride is 1:1.5 - 1:7; Exemplarily, the molar ratio of the compound of formula I-1 to 5-naphthoquinone diazosulfonyl chloride can be 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, 1:4, 1:4.5, 1:5, 1:5.5, 1:6, 1:6.5, 1:7, etc.

[0038] Further, the addition amount of triethylamine and the molar ratio of 5-naphthoquinone diazosulfonyl chloride is 1:1.

[0104] 1) Evaluation of imaging ability: Using a coating and developing apparatus ACT-8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), different positive polyimide photosensitive resin compositions obtained were coated on a glass substrate by spin coating, and a coating was obtained after drying. Then, the coating was exposed under a mask using an i-line stepper, and then developed by soaking in 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), and washed with pure water. The etched line or groove state was detected by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). When the line or groove with a width less than 3 μm could still be clearly etched without bending or defects, it was recorded as "excellent"; when the line or groove with a width between 3 and 10 μm could be clearly etched without bending or defects, it was recorded as "good"; when the line or groove with a width above 10 μm (excluding 10 μm) could be clearly etched without bending or defects, it was recorded as "poor".

[0105] 2) Evaluation of sensitivity: Using a coating and developing apparatus ACT-8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), different positive polyimide photosensitive resin compositions obtained were coated on a glass substrate by spin coating and pre-baked at 120 °C for 2 minutes. Exposure was carried out using an i-line stepper. After exposure, it was developed in a 2.38 wt% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for 60 s, then washed with pure water, spin-dried, and the minimum exposure amount when the exposed part was completely dissolved was taken as the sensitivity.

[0106] 3) Residual film ratio: Using a coating and developing apparatus ACT-8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), different positive polyimide photosensitive resin compositions obtained were coated on a glass substrate by spin coating and pre-baked at 120 °C for 2 minutes. The thickness of the obtained film was denoted as d1. Then, the film was exposed, developed, and heat-treated to obtain a cured film, and its thickness was denoted as d2. The residual film ratio was calculated, and the calculation method of the residual film ratio was: (d2 / d1) * 100%. Among them, the thickness of the film was measured using a D600 type step gauge manufactured by KLA Corporation of the United States.

[0107] 4) Transmittance evaluation: Using a coating and developing apparatus ACT-8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), the obtained different positive polyimide photosensitive resin compositions were coated on a glass substrate by spin coating, pre-baked at 120 °C for 2 minutes, and then exposed, developed, and heat-treated to obtain a cured film. A spectrophotometer ("Double Beam Spectrophotometer U 2900" of Hitachi, Ltd.) was used to measure and evaluate the wavelength of the cured film from 300 nm to 800 nm. According to the measurement results, the transmittance at a wavelength of 400 nm was read as the basis for evaluating visible light transmittance. This is because, generally speaking, as long as there is no special record, the transmittance at 400 nm is the lowest, and in the region above 401 nm and less than 800 nm, the transmittance at 400 nm can represent the transmittance of the entire visible light region.

[0108] 5) Yellow index value measurement: Using a coating and developing apparatus ACT-8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), the obtained different positive polyimide photosensitive resin compositions were coated on a glass substrate by spin coating, pre-baked at 120 °C for 2 minutes, and the obtained film was measured for the yellow index value using the Yellowness Index ASTM E313-2015 test standard. The yellow index value test equipment was the CM-36dG spectral tester of KONICA MINILTA.

[0109] See Table 4 for the above test results.

[0112]

[0113] The results in Table 4 show that by adding the photosensitizer composition developed in the present invention to the positive polyimide photosensitive resin composition, the yellowing problem can be significantly improved, and the effect is significantly better than that of adding TPPA-PAC (CAS No.: 137902-98-8), reaching a level comparable to that of adding Compound A (i.e., Comparative Example 9). Compared with Comparative Example 9, the samples prepared in the present invention are also comprehensively superior to the samples of Comparative Example 9 in terms of sensitivity, residual film rate, and transmittance, indicating that the positive polyimide photosensitive resin composition developed in the present invention can improve the film transmittance while maintaining its lithographic sensitivity and the cured residual film rate after lithography.
