Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to photosensitive compositions, cured products, display devices, and methods for manufacturing cured products. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, technologies related to organic electroluminescent (hereinafter "organic EL") displays, quantum dot displays, or micro-light-emitting diode (hereinafter "LED") displays have been actively researched for use in thin displays such as smartphones. For example, the pixel segmentation layer of an organic EL display is formed by photolithography. To reduce the process time in the manufacture of organic EL displays, the materials used are required to have high sensitivity during exposure. Furthermore, it is also necessary to suppress development residues during the formation of positive or negative patterns via photolithography. In addition, for example, foreign matter sometimes forms after storing the photosensitive composition at room temperature, leaving residues at the openings of the pixel segmentation layer. Such foreign matter causes black spots in the pixel area and reduces the lifetime of the light-emitting element. Therefore, the materials used are also required to have excellent storage stability without generating foreign matter.

[0003] Furthermore, it is anticipated that micro-LED displays will not only expand into televisions and smartphones, but also into new applications such as signage systems, AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality), and transparent displays. Since micro-LED displays emit light from LEDs that act as light sources in all directions, light extraction efficiency decreases if light is absorbed by surrounding components such as insulating layers, protective layers, or spacers. Therefore, there is a need to improve brightness by optimizing the composition of insulating layers, protective layers, or spacers, as well as the properties of the materials used.

[0004] Examples of photosensitive compositions include, for example, positive photosensitive compositions containing polyimide as a resin (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and positive photosensitive compositions containing polysiloxane as a resin (see, Patent Document 2).

The term "resin end" refers to a structure that closes the main chain, such as a structure derived from an end-capping agent.

[0063] <Photosensitive Composition>

[0064] The photosensitive composition of the present invention has the structure described above [1]. With the structure described above [1], the photosensitive composition of the present invention can combine excellent sensitivity during exposure, suppression of residue after development, and excellent storage stability. Furthermore, it can provide a cured product suitable for display devices with excellent luminous brightness. This can be considered as the excellent sensitivity during exposure and the suppression of residue after development achieved by including trace amounts of the aforementioned methanol and / or ethanol in the photosensitive composition, thereby promoting the dissolution of the developer due to the hydrophilicity of the compound. Furthermore, it can be considered as the surface modification of the substrate surface through the compound, thus preventing residue adhesion in openings and thereby suppressing residue after development.

[0065] Furthermore, it can be considered that by intentionally including trace amounts of the aforementioned methanol and / or ethanol, the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition are stabilized through hydrogen bonding interactions brought about by the hydroxyl groups in the compound. In particular, when the photosensitive composition contains polysiloxane, stabilization of the silanol groups in the polysiloxane is suitable. Furthermore, it can be considered that the polarization structure and charge balance in the photosensitive composition are controlled through the hydroxyl groups in the compound. As a result, it is presumed that excellent storage stability is achieved. It is further presumed that when a pattern of the photosensitive composition is formed on wiring such as metal, the aforementioned compound in the photosensitive composition modifies the surface of the wiring that forms the opening or the surface of the wiring in contact with the pattern. Furthermore, it can be considered that the hydroxyl groups in the compound contained in the cured product capture trace amounts of metallic and ionic impurities in the cured product, which migrate to the wiring surface and act as charge carriers in the wiring. As a result, it can be considered that the conductivity of the wiring such as metal is controlled, enabling high luminous brightness through low-voltage driving.

[0066] <(A) Adhesive Resin>

[0067] The photosensitive composition of the present invention contains (A) a binder resin. The (A) binder resin is a heat-resistant resin that is at least partially present in the cured product obtained by curing the composition. Furthermore, the (A) binder resin in the composition may remain in the cured product obtained by curing the composition. The (A) binder resin is preferably a resin that is cured by forming a cross-linked structure through a reaction. The reaction is not particularly limited to a heating reaction, an irradiation reaction using energy rays, etc., and the cross-linked structure may also be formed by the cross-linking agent (F) described later. The (A) binder resin is preferably a thermosetting resin.

[0068] (A) The adhesive resin is preferably an alkali-soluble resin having an acidic group or an organic solvent-soluble resin having an organic solvent-soluble structure. (A) The adhesive resin is preferably a resin that imparts positive or negative photosensitivity to the composition by means of the photosensitizer described later (C), and has solubility capable of forming positive or negative patterns.

[0069] (A) The adhesive resin preferably has an acidic group in its structural unit. From the viewpoint of pattern processing with alkaline developer, the acidic group is preferably a phenolic hydroxyl group, a hydroxyimide group, a hydroxyamide group, a silanol group, a 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)hydroxymethyl group, a mercapto group, a carboxyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group, or a sulfonic acid group. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure and suppressing residue after development, a carboxyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group, or a sulfonic acid group is more preferred.

[0070] (A) The adhesive resin preferably has a free radical polymerizable group, more preferably a free radical polymerizable group in the structural unit of the resin. The free radical polymerizable group preferably has an olefinic unsaturated double bond group, more preferably a photoreactive group, an alkenyl group with 2 to 5 carbon atoms, or an alkynyl group with 2 to 5 carbon atoms. The photoreactive group is preferably styryl, cinnamyl, maleimide, nadimide, or (meth)acryloyl, and (meth)acryloyl is more preferably used from the viewpoint of improving the sensitivity during exposure. On the other hand, the alkenyl group with 2 to 5 carbon atoms or the alkynyl group with 2 to 5 carbon atoms is preferably vinyl, allyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, crotonyl, 2-methyl-2-butenyl, 3-methyl-2-butenyl, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butenyl, ethynyl, or 2-propynyl, and vinyl or allyl is more preferably used from the viewpoint of improving the sensitivity during exposure.

[0071] <(A1) resin and (A2) resin>

[0072] (A) The adhesive resin preferably contains (A1) a resin containing a weak acidic group and / or (A2) a resin that does not have a weak acidic group.

[0073] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, the (A) binder resin preferably comprises a resin containing a weakly acidic group (A1), and the resin containing the weakly acidic group (A1) has one or more groups selected from phenolic hydroxyl, hydroxyimide, hydroxyamide, silanol, 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)hydroxymethyl, and mercapto as the (WA) weakly acidic group, more preferably having the (WA) weakly acidic group in the structural unit of the resin. These groups are sometimes collectively referred to as "(WA) weakly acidic group" below. From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure and suppressing residue after development, the (WA) weakly acidic group is preferably a phenolic hydroxyl, silanol, or 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)hydroxymethyl (hereinafter, "specific (WA) weakly acidic group"). It should be noted that, when the (A) adhesive resin meets the conditions described below (P1a) and / or (P2a), or when the photosensitive composition of the present invention meets the conditions described below (1a) and / or (2a), the acidic group of the (A) adhesive resin is preferably a phenolic hydroxyl group, a hydroxyimide group, a hydroxyamide group, a silanol group, a mercapto group, a carboxyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group, or a sulfonic acid group, and the (WA) weak acidic group is preferably one or more groups selected from phenolic hydroxyl groups, hydroxyimide groups, hydroxyamide groups, silanol groups, and mercapto groups. The resin containing the weak acidic group in (A1) above interacts with the photosensitizer in (C) below due to the appropriate acidity of the (WA) weak acidic group, thereby increasing the solubility of the exposed portion, thus significantly improving the sensitivity during exposure. Specific (WA) weak acidic groups among the (WA) weak acidic groups significantly suppress residue after development through alkali dissolution promotion. Furthermore, when the composition has positive photosensitivity, the specific (WA) weak acid group in the (WA) weak acid group can improve the dissolution contrast between the exposed and unexposed areas through strong interaction with the (C) photosensitizer, and the dissolution promotion effect in the exposed area is also improved. Therefore, the effect of improving the sensitivity during exposure and suppressing residue after development becomes significant.

[0074] From the viewpoint of suppressing residue after development, the (A) binder resin preferably includes a resin (A2) that does not have a weak acidic group. The resin (A2) that does not have a weak acidic group preferably has an acidic group different from the (WA) weak acidic group, and more preferably has an acidic group different from the (WA) weak acidic group in the structural unit of the resin. From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure and suppressing residue after development, the acidic group different from the (WA) weak acidic group is more preferably a carboxyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group, or a sulfonic acid group.

[0075] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, the (A) adhesive resin preferably comprises a resin containing a weakly acidic group (A1), and the resin containing the weakly acidic group (A1) has a free radical polymerizable group. Examples and preferences related to the free radical polymerizable group are described as described in the above description of the (A) adhesive resin.

[0076] (A) The adhesive resin preferably contains (A1) a resin containing a weakly acidic group and / or (A2) a resin not containing a weakly acidic group, and the resin containing (A1) a weakly acidic group includes (A1x) resins: having in the structural units of the resin a structure selected from imide structure, amide structure, Resins with one or more of azole and siloxane structures (hereinafter, "imide structures, etc.") and / or (A1y) resins: resins having phenolic hydroxyl groups in the structural units of the resin, (A2) resins without weak acid groups including (A2x) resins: resins having free radical polymerizable groups and / or (A2y) resins: resins without free radical polymerizable groups.

[0077] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure and suppressing residue after development, (A) the binder resin preferably contains (A1) a resin containing a weak acid group and (A2) a resin without a weak acid group.

[0078] It should be noted that when (A1x) resin, (A1y) resin, (A2x) resin, and (A2y) resin each possess the structures and groups that constitute other resins, they are classified as any one of them using the classification method shown in Table 1-1 below. When a resin can be equivalent to two or more of (A1x) resin, (A1y) resin, (A2x) resin, and (A2y) resin, this classification method is used to determine which resin it is equivalent to.

[0079] [Table 1-1]

[0080]

[0081] The adhesive resin (A) preferably contains (A1x) resin and / or (A1y) resin, more preferably (A1x) resin, and even more preferably (A1x) resin and (A1y) resin. Furthermore, the adhesive resin (A) preferably contains (A1x) resin and / or (A1y) resin, and also contains (A2x) resin, more preferably (A1x) resin, (A1y) resin, and (A2x) resin. Furthermore, the adhesive resin (A) also preferably contains (A1x) resin, (A1y) resin, or (A2x) resin, and also contains (A2y) resin. Moreover, from the viewpoint of improved properties brought about by each resin, the adhesive resin (A) preferably contains two or more resins selected from (A1x) resin, (A1y) resin, (A2x) resin, and (A2y) resin.

[0082] <(A1x) resin>

[0083] When the (A) adhesive resin contains a resin with a weakly acidic group (A1), from the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and improving the luminous brightness, the resin with the weakly acidic group (A1) preferably contains a (A1x) resin. From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and improving the luminous brightness, the (A1x) resin preferably contains a resin selected from (A1x-1) resin: polysiloxane, (A1x-2) resin: polyimide, (A1x-3) resin: polyimide precursor, and (A1x-4) resin: polybenzo[[...]]. Azole, (A1x-5) resin: polybenzo[a] Azole precursor, (A1x-6) resin: polyamide-imide, (A1x-7) resin: polyamide-imide precursor, (A1x-8) resin: polyamide, maleimide resin, maleimide-styrene resin, maleimide-triazine resin, maleimide- The resin contains one or more of a azine resin and its copolymers, more preferably one or more of (A1x-1) resin, (A1x-2) resin, (A1x-3) resin, (A1x-4) resin, (A1x-5) resin, (A1x-6) resin, (A1x-7) resin, (A1x-8) resin and its copolymers, and even more preferably (A1x-1) resin. The (A1x) resin can be a single resin or a copolymer thereof.

[0084] In the case where the (A) adhesive resin contains a resin containing a weakly acidic group (A1), from the viewpoint of improving the sensitivity during exposure, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element and improving the luminous brightness, the resin containing the weakly acidic group (A1) preferably contains a polysiloxane as a (A1x-1) resin.

[0085] It is presumed that the above-mentioned (A1x) resin possesses an imide structure, an amide structure, and an imide structure in its structural units. The structures, such as azole or siloxane structures, capture metallic and ionic impurities that negatively impact electrical insulation, thus suppressing ion and electromigration and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element. Furthermore, it is presumed that these structures control the conductivity of the wiring, including metals, thereby increasing the luminous brightness.

[0086] On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, (A2x) resin and (A2y) resin preferably contain a mixture selected from polyimide, polyimide precursor, polyphenylene oxide, etc. azole, polybenzo[a] Zyrazole precursor, polyamide-imide, polyamide-imide precursor, polyamide, maleimide resin, maleimide-styrene resin, maleimide-triazine resin, maleimide- One or more of azirmine resins and their copolymers.

The free radical polymerizable group is preferably obtained by reacting a portion of the phenolic hydroxyl groups and / or carboxyl groups present in the resin with a compound having a free radical polymerizable group.

[0088] From the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and increasing luminous brightness, (A1x) resin preferably contains both (A1x) resin without free radical polymerizable groups and (A1x) resin with free radical polymerizable groups. It can be considered that, with the above configuration, the (A1x) resin without free radical polymerizable groups can suppress residue after development and the ability to capture metal impurities, ionic impurities, etc., and control the conductivity of wiring such as metals through its acidic groups or organic solvent-soluble structure. On the other hand, the (A1x) resin with free radical polymerizable groups improves the degree of cross-linking of the film by increasing sensitivity during exposure and promoting free radical polymerization. As a result, the effect of suppressing gas release and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element becomes significant. Through such functional separation in the (A1x) resin, the effect of improving multiple properties becomes significant.

[0089] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, the acid equivalent of the (Alx) resin is preferably 200 g / mol or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing residue after development, the acid equivalent of the (Alx) resin is preferably 600 g / mol or less. Here, "exposure" refers to irradiation by reactive chemical rays (radiation), such as visible light, ultraviolet light, electron beams, or X-rays. Hereinafter, "exposure" refers to irradiation by reactive chemical rays (radiation). From the viewpoint of suppressing residue after development, the double bond equivalent of the (Alx) resin is preferably 200 g / mol or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, the double bond equivalent of the (Alx) resin is preferably 3,000 g / mol or less.

Examples of (A1x-1) resins include resins obtained by hydrolyzing one or more of trifunctional organosilanes, tetrafunctional organosilanes, difunctional organosilanes, and monofunctional organosilanes to induce dehydration condensation.

[0173] It can be assumed that the silica particles, through the acidity and negative charge of the hydroxyl and / or silanol groups on their surface, capture metallic impurities and ionic impurities that adversely affect electrical insulation. Furthermore, it is presumed that the robust structure of the particles ensures that the captured impurities remain even after heat treatment or voltage application, thus improving the reliability of the light-emitting element. Additionally, it can be assumed that the silica particles biased onto the surface of the cured material reduce the reflection / scattering of incident external light.

[0178] From the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and improving the brightness of light emission, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably further contains one or more components selected from components containing chlorine, components containing bromine, components containing chloride ions, and components containing bromide ions (hereinafter, "specific halogen components"), and satisfies the following condition (1).

[0179] (1) The total content of chlorine and bromine in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is 0.0010 to 1,000 ppm by mass, and / or the total content of chloride ions and bromide ions in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is 0.0010 to 1,000 ppm by mass.

The components containing chloride ions and bromides preferably contain ammonium ions, primary ammonium ions, secondary ammonium ions, tertiary ammonium ions, or quaternary ammonium ions as cations.

Further, it is preferably 50 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 30 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 10 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 5 ppm by mass or less, particularly preferably 3 ppm by mass or less, and most preferably 1 ppm by mass or less.

[0182] From the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and improving the brightness of light emission, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably further satisfies the following condition (2).

[0183] (2) The total content of chlorine and bromine in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is 0.0010 to 1,000 ppm by mass, and the total content of chloride ions and bromide ions in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is 0.0010 to 1,000 ppm by mass.

[0184] Under the condition (2) above, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains a component containing chlorine and / or a component containing bromine, and also contains a component containing chloride ions and / or a component containing bromide ions.

[0185] By including trace amounts of the aforementioned specific halogen components in the photosensitive composition, protons are activated through these anions and anions derived from these components. This significantly improves the sensitivity during exposure and inhibits residue buildup after development by promoting the dissolution of the developer and preventing residue adhesion at the opening. It is further hypothesized that the control of polarization structure and charge balance in the cured material suppresses metal migration and aggregation, thereby improving the reliability of the light-emitting element. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that surface modification of the wiring surface controls conductivity, thereby increasing luminous brightness. Additionally, it is believed that the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition are stabilized through interaction with the specific halogen components. In particular, when the photosensitive composition contains polysiloxane, the silanol groups in the polysiloxane are suitable for stabilization. Furthermore, it is believed that the polarization structure and charge balance in the photosensitive composition are controlled through the interaction of 3d orbitals (empty atomic orbitals) with the resin in the photosensitive composition via non-shared electron pairs. As a result, the effect of improved storage stability becomes significant.

[0186] <Fluorine content>

[0187] From the viewpoint of suppressing residue after development, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and increasing the brightness of the light emission, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably satisfies the condition (1a) below. The photosensitive composition of the present invention is more preferably further satisfied with the condition (2a) below.

[0188] (1a) The fluorine content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is less than 1,000 ppm by mass.

[0189] (2a) The content of fluoride ions in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is less than 1,000 ppm by mass.

[0190] From the viewpoint of the effects of the above-described invention, the fluorine content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is preferably 0 ppm by mass or more, more preferably 0.010 ppm by mass or more, further preferably 0.030 ppm by mass or more, even more preferably 0.050 ppm by mass or more, particularly preferably 0.070 ppm by mass or more, and most preferably 0.10 ppm by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the effects of the above-described invention, the fluorine content is preferably 1,000 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 500 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 300 ppm by mass or less, and particularly preferably 100 ppm by mass or less.

[0191] The preferred range of fluoride ion content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition is the same as the preferred range of fluoride content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition described above.

[0192] The fluorine content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition can be 0 ppm by mass. The fluoride ion content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition can also be 0 ppm by mass. When the fluorine content and / or fluoride ion content in all solid components of the photosensitive composition exceeds 0 ppm by mass, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains (A) an adhesive resin, (C) a photosensitizer, (B) a compound, or (F) a crosslinking agent having fluorine atoms or fluoride ions in its structure, or further contains components containing fluorine and / or components containing fluoride ions.

[0193] The fluorine-containing component is preferably a phenolic compound, alkyl fluorine compound, cycloalkyl fluorine compound, or aryl fluorine compound having a substituent containing a fluorinated alkyl group. The fluoride-containing component preferably contains an ammonium ion, primary ammonium ion, secondary ammonium ion, tertiary ammonium ion, or quaternary ammonium ion as a cation. The quaternary ammonium ion preferably has a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group. The hydrocarbon group is preferably an alkyl group with 1 to 15 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group with 4 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group with 6 to 15 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group with 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or a hydroxyalkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and even more preferably an alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

[0194] It is presumed that by setting the content of compounds containing fluorine atoms in the structure and components containing fluorine elements in the photosensitive composition to a specific value or below, the content of fluorine elements, fluoride ions, or fluorine-containing anions derived from these components is set to a specific value or below. Therefore, through the interactions such as hydrogen bonds among the components in the photosensitive composition, protons in the photosensitive composition are locally activated. Thus, it is considered that the effect of suppressing residues after development becomes significant by promoting the dissolution of the developer. Furthermore, it is considered that by intentionally setting the content of the aforementioned components to a specific value or below, the polarization structure and charge balance in the cured product are controlled. As a result, it is presumed that by suppressing the ion migration and electromigration of metallic and ionic impurities that adversely affect luminescence properties or electrical insulation, the reliability and luminous brightness of the light-emitting element are improved. Furthermore, it is presumed that by suppressing the migration and aggregation of metals in the electrodes or metal wiring, the reliability of the display device is improved.

[0195] <Water content>

[0196] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably also contains water and satisfies the following condition (3).

[0197] (3) The water content in the photosensitive composition is 0.010 to 3.0% by mass.

[0198] From the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, the water content in the photosensitive composition is preferably 0.030% by mass or more, more preferably 0.050% by mass or more, further preferably 0.070% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 0.10% by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, the water content is preferably 2.5% by mass or less, more preferably 2.2% by mass or less, and further preferably 2.0% by mass or less. Further, it is preferably 1.7% by mass or less, more preferably 1.5% by mass or less, further preferably 1.2% by mass or less, further more preferably 1.0% by mass or less, particularly preferably 0.70% by mass or less, and most preferably 0.50% by mass or less.

[0199] By maintaining the water content in the photosensitive composition within the aforementioned range, the stability of anions in the photosensitive composition is enhanced through hydrogen bonding of water molecules, thereby activating protons. This significantly improves the sensitivity during exposure and suppresses residue buildup after development by promoting the dissolution of the developer and preventing residue adhesion at the opening. Furthermore, it can be assumed that the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition are stabilized through interactions such as the dipole moment and hydrogen bonding of water molecules. In particular, when the photosensitive composition contains polysiloxane, it is suitable for stabilizing the silanol groups in the polysiloxane. As a result, the effect of improving storage stability becomes significant. It is further hypothesized that the water, through interactions such as the dipole moment and hydrogen bonding of water molecules, captures metallic impurities and ionic impurities that adversely affect electrical insulation, thus suppressing ion migration and electromigration, and improving the reliability of the light-emitting element.

On the other hand, from the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, improving the reliability of the light-emitting element, and improving luminous brightness, the total content of specific anions and the total content of specific phosphorus compounds are preferably 25,000 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 20,000 ppm by mass or less, and even more preferably 15,000 ppm by mass or less. Further, preferably 12,000 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 10,000 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 7,000 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 5,000 ppm by mass or less, particularly preferably 3,000 ppm by mass or less, and most preferably 1,000 ppm by mass or less.

[0207] By including trace amounts of the aforementioned specific anions or phosphorus compounds in the photosensitive composition, the sensitivity during exposure and the effect of suppressing residue after development are significantly improved, thereby promoting the dissolution of the developer and preventing residue adhesion in the opening. Furthermore, the storage stability is significantly improved by stabilizing the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition and controlling the polarization structure and charge balance in the photosensitive composition. It is further hypothesized that controlling the polarization structure and charge balance in the cured product can suppress metal migration and aggregation, thereby improving the reliability of the light-emitting element. Additionally, it is hypothesized that surface modification of the wiring surface can control conductivity, thereby improving luminous brightness.

[0208] <Content of tertiary amine compounds and quaternary ammonium ions>

Furthermore, the storage stability is significantly improved by stabilizing the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition and controlling the polarization structure and charge balance in the photosensitive composition. It is further hypothesized that controlling the polarization structure and charge balance in the cured product to suppress metal migration and aggregation will improve the reliability of the light-emitting element. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that surface modification of the wiring surface will control conductivity, thereby improving luminous brightness.

[0217] <Content of methanol and ethanol>

[0218] From the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability and increasing luminescence brightness, the photosensitive composition of the present invention also contains methanol and / or ethanol, and satisfies the following condition (7).

[0219] (7) The total content of methanol and ethanol in the photosensitive composition is 0.0010 to 30,000 ppm by mass.

[0220] From the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, and increasing luminescence brightness, the total content of methanol and ethanol in the photosensitive composition is preferably 0.010 ppm by mass or more, more preferably 0.030 ppm by mass or more, even more preferably 0.050 ppm by mass or more, even more preferably 0.070 ppm by mass or more, and particularly preferably 0.10 ppm by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoints of improving sensitivity during exposure, suppressing residue after development, improving storage stability, and increasing luminescence brightness, the total content of methanol and ethanol is preferably 25,000 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 20,000 ppm by mass or less, and even more preferably 15,000 ppm by mass or less. Further, it is preferably 12,000 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 10,000 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 7,000 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 5,000 ppm by mass or less, particularly preferably 3,000 ppm by mass or less, and most preferably 1,000 ppm by mass or less.

[0221] By including trace amounts of methanol or ethanol in the photosensitive composition, the hydrophilicity of the compound promotes dissolution of the developer, thereby significantly improving the sensitivity during exposure and inhibiting residue buildup after development. Furthermore, since the substrate surface is modified by the compound, the effect of preventing residue adhesion in openings and thus inhibiting residue buildup after development becomes significant.

[0222] Furthermore, it can be considered that by intentionally including trace amounts of the aforementioned compound, the polar groups of the resin in the photosensitive composition are stabilized through hydrogen bonding interactions arising from the hydroxyl groups in the compound. In particular, when the photosensitive composition contains polysiloxane, it is suitable for stabilizing the silanol groups in the polysiloxane. Furthermore, it can be considered that the polarization structure and charge balance in the photosensitive composition are controlled through the hydroxyl groups in the compound. As a result, the effect of improving storage stability becomes significant. Further, it is presumed that when a pattern of the photosensitive composition is formed on wiring such as metal, the aforementioned compound in the photosensitive composition modifies the surface of the wiring, which becomes an opening, or the wiring surface in contact with the pattern. Furthermore, it can be considered that the hydroxyl groups in the compound contained in the cured product capture trace amounts of metallic and ionic impurities in the cured product, which migrate to the wiring surface and thus act as charge carriers in the wiring. As a result, it is presumed that the conductivity of the wiring such as metal is controlled, enabling low-voltage driving and thus increasing luminous brightness.

[0247] The photosensitive film of the present invention is a substance in a semi-cured state (stage B) where the photosensitive composition of the present invention has been film-formed. The term "semi-cured state" refers to a state in which no cross-linked structure is formed, or a state in which a cross-linked structure is formed through a partial reaction but the film remains fluid. Examples include a state in which the coating is dried under reduced pressure after being coated onto a substrate, thereby removing the solvent by distillation, or a state in which the coating is dried by heating at 40–150°C; and a state in which it is soluble in alkaline solutions or organic solvents.

It is presumed that by intentionally including trace amounts of the aforementioned methanol or ethanol in the spacer layer and / or planarization layer, the hydroxyl groups in the compound contained in the cured product capture trace amounts of metallic impurities and ionic impurities in the cured product. It is considered that these impurities migrate to the wiring surface and thus act as charge carriers in the wiring. As a result, it is considered that by controlling the conductivity of the wiring, such as metals, a low-voltage drive can achieve a high luminous brightness effect.

[0259] <Resins and compounds in the spacer layer and planarization layer>

[0260] The display device of the present invention comprises a spacer layer and / or a planarization layer.

[0265] The display device of the present invention is preferably a micro-LED display or a mini-LED display. It should be noted that, since the area of ​​the redistribution layer is larger than the area of ​​the light-emitting element (which is a semiconductor chip) in a top view, the display device of the present invention has a fan-out wafer-level packaging structure or a fan-out panel-level packaging structure. The substrate, redistribution layer, interlayer insulating layer of the redistribution layer, light-emitting element, semiconductor chip, spacer layer, and planarization layer can be made of known materials.

[0266] The display device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a microLED display having a spacer layer and a planarization layer. The display device 1a has a plurality of light-emitting elements 2 and a plurality of spacer layers 15 on a substrate 5. A planarization layer 21 is provided on the light-emitting elements 2, and an interlayer insulating layer 3 is provided on the planarization layer 21. The light-emitting elements 2 are preferably semiconductor chips. The term "on the light-emitting elements 2" can refer not only to the surface of the light-emitting elements 2, but also to the support substrate and the upper side of the light-emitting elements 2. Figure 1 The illustrated scheme shows that the spacer layer 15 is disposed between a plurality of adjacent light-emitting elements 2, the planarization layer 21 is formed to cover the light-emitting elements 2, and a plurality of interlayer insulating layers 3 are stacked on the planarization layer 21, but the interlayer insulating layer 3 may also be a single layer.

[0267] The light-emitting element 2 has a pair of electrode terminals 6 on the side opposite to the surface in contact with the opposing substrate 5. Each electrode terminal 6 is electrically connected to a metal wire 4 extending in the planarization layer 21 and the interlayer insulating layer 3. It should be noted that if the multiple metal wires 4 are covered by the planarization layer 21 or the interlayer insulating layer 3, these layers function as insulating films, thus forming a structure that maintains electrical insulation. The term "metal wires forming a structure that maintains electrical insulation" refers to covering the portions of the metal wires requiring electrical insulation with a cured product obtained by curing a resin-containing composition. Furthermore, since the light-emitting element 2 and the driving element 8 of the light-emitting element driving substrate 7, which is positioned opposite the opposing substrate 5, are electrically connected via metal wires 4 and 4c, the light emission of the light-emitting element 2 can be controlled.

Figure 2 The microLED display is preferably manufactured by forming a metal wiring 4 and an interlayer insulating layer 3 on a support substrate or the like, and then configuring the light-emitting element 2 as a semiconductor chip in an RDL-first (Chip-last) structure. Then, preferably after peeling off the support substrate or the like, a counter substrate 5 is attached, and then a light-emitting element driving substrate 7 is bonded.

By containing the aforementioned polyimide-based resin, warpage of the wafer and substrate is suppressed, significantly improving the accuracy of the exposure process and the wafer / substrate transport process, and increasing the yield. From the viewpoint of improving luminous brightness, the spacer layer 15 and the planarization layer 21 are preferably cured products of the present invention. From the viewpoint of improving the reliability and brightness of the light-emitting element, the spacer layer 15 preferably contains the aforementioned (G) inorganic particles. From the viewpoint of improving the reliability of the light-emitting element and suppressing external light reflection, the spacer layer 15 preferably contains the aforementioned (D) colorant.

[0303] The evaluation methods in each embodiment, reference example, and comparative example are shown below. It should be noted that a glass substrate (manufactured by Geomatics Co., Ltd.; hereinafter referred to as "ITO / Ag substrate") on which a 100nm APC film (silver / palladium / copper = 98.07 / 0.87 / 1.06 (mass ratio)) was formed by sputtering on glass, and a 10nm ITO film was further formed on top of the APC layer by sputtering, was subjected to a 100-second UV-O3 washing process using a benchtop surface treatment apparatus (PL16-110; manufactured by Sen Special Light Source Co., Ltd.). Tenpax glass substrates (manufactured by AGC Technograss Co., Ltd.) and other substrates were used without pretreatment.

The weight-average molecular weight (MAM) of polystyrene was determined using a GPC analyzer (Waters 2690; manufactured by Waters) with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone dissolved in 0.050 mol / L of lithium chloride and phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. For other resins, the MAM was determined using a GPC analyzer (HLC-8220; manufactured by Higashi Soy Co.) with tetrahydrofuran or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as the mobile phase, based on JIS K7252-3 (2008), by determining the MAM at near room temperature.

[0408]

[0409] <Modulation of Photosensitive Compositions>

[0410] Compositions 1 to 120 were prepared using the compositions listed in Tables 3-1 to 3-10. The values ​​in parentheses in Tables 3-1 to 3-10 represent the mass parts of the solid components of each ingredient. It should be noted that the content of quaternary ammonium ions is listed as the content of quaternary cations in the tables. When the composition contains pigment, a blending solution without pigment dispersion was first prepared, and then the pigment dispersion was mixed with the blending solution to prepare the composition. Using PGMEA / EL / GBL = 50 / 40 / 10 (mass ratio) as a solvent, the composition was prepared to achieve a solid component concentration of 30% by mass. The resulting composition solution was... The filter was used for filtration. Furthermore, compositions S1 to S7 were prepared using the same method with the compositions described in Tables 2-4.

[0411] [Table 2-4]

[0412]

[0413] <Example 1>

[0414] After coating composition 1 onto an ITO / Ag substrate using a spin coater (MS-A100; manufactured by Mikasa Co.), a pre-baked film with a thickness of approximately 1.8 μm was prepared by pre-baking at 120°C for 120 seconds using a buzzer-heated plate (HPD-3000BZN; manufactured by Azuwan Co.). The prepared pre-baked film was then jet-developed using a small photolithography developing apparatus (AD-1200; manufactured by Takizawa Sangyo Co.) with 2.38% by mass TMAH aqueous solution or cyclopentanone, and the time for complete dissolution of the pre-baked film (unexposed portion) (Breaking Point; hereinafter, "BP") was measured.

[0415] The pre-baked film was fabricated using the same method. The pre-baked film was then exposed to a double-sided alignment, single-sided exposure apparatus (PEM-6M lithography machine; manufactured by Union Optics Co., Ltd.) using a grayscale mask for sensitivity measurement (MDRM MODEL4000-5-FS; manufactured by Opto-Line International Co., Ltd.) with i-rays (wavelength 365nm), h-rays (wavelength 405nm), and g-rays (wavelength 436nm) from an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp. After exposure, the film was developed using a small lithography developing apparatus (AD-1200; manufactured by Takizawa Sangyo Co., Ltd.) with a 2.38% (w / w) TMAH aqueous solution, followed by rinsing with water for 30 seconds to produce the developed film. The development time was set to 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds.

[0416] It should be noted that, in the case where pattern formation could not be achieved after development using a 2.38% (w / w) TMAH aqueous solution for development at development times of 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds, exposed films were prepared in the same manner as described above. After exposure, cyclopentanone was used for development using a small photolithography developing apparatus (AD-1200; manufactured by Takizawa Sangyosha), followed by rinsing with water for 30 seconds to produce the developed film. Similarly, development times were set to 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds. For all films with development times of 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds, the developed patterns were observed, and the optimal exposure (i-ray irradiance meter value) was determined for forming a gap pattern equivalent to an opening with a width of 20 μm within a 20 μm line and gap pattern. These results determined the optimal development time (60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds) and the optimal exposure at that development time. Using a high-temperature inert gas oven (INH-9CD-S; manufactured by Koyo Service), the pattern, after exposure at the optimal exposure level and development time, was heat-cured at 200°C for 60 minutes to produce a cured film with a thickness of approximately 1.2 μm. The heat curing conditions were as follows: under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 20 ppm by mass, the temperature was increased at a rate of 3.5°C / min until reaching 200°C, and then heat-treated at 200°C for 60 minutes, followed by cooling to 50°C.

[0417] The cured film was analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. The structural units of the resin and the structures of the compounds contained in the cured film were analyzed. The cured film of composition 1 contains the following resin and compounds, including resins having structures derived from the resins contained in composition 1 and compounds having structures derived from the compounds contained in composition 1.

[0418] (XA1) resin: a resin having a silanol group and a siloxane structure in the structural unit; a phenolic resin having a phenolic hydroxyl group in the structural unit.

[0419] <Fabrication of Organic EL Displays>

[0420] Next, the manufacturing method of organic EL displays will be described. Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic of the substrate used. First, a 100nm APC (silver / palladium / copper = 98.07 / 0.87 / 1.06 (mass ratio)) non-transparent conductive metal layer was sputtered onto a 38×46mm alkali-free glass substrate 47. The APC layer was then patterned by etching. Next, a 10nm amorphous ITO transparent conductive oxide film was sputtered onto the APC layer, and a reflective electrode was formed as the first electrode portion 48 by etching. Furthermore, an auxiliary electrode portion 49 was also formed simultaneously to facilitate the removal of the second electrode. Figure 3 (1)).

[0421] The resulting substrate was ultrasonically cleaned for 10 minutes using "Semicoclean" (registered trademark) 56 (manufactured by Fulluchi Chemical Co., Ltd.), and then washed with ultrapure water. Next, Composition 1 was coated and pre-baked onto the substrate using the above method. After pattern formation exposure through a photomask with a predetermined pattern, development, and rinsing, it was thermally cured. It should be noted that the development time was set to 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds, and the optimal development time (60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds) and the optimal exposure amount at that development time were determined in advance. The pattern, after exposure at the optimal exposure amount and development at the optimal development time, was thermally cured at 200°C for 60 minutes. The thermal curing conditions were: heating at a rate of 3.5°C / min to 200°C under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 20 ppm, followed by heat treatment at 200°C for 60 minutes, and then cooling to 50°C. Using the above method, quadrilateral openings with a width of 70 μm and a length of 70 μm are arranged at a spacing of 175 μm along the width direction and at a spacing of 175 μm along the length direction, and a pixel segmentation layer 50 with each opening exposing the first electrode is defined and formed in the effective area of ​​the substrate. Figure 3 (2)). It should be noted that this opening eventually becomes the light-emitting pixel of the organic EL display. In addition, the effective area of ​​the substrate is 16 mm square, and the pixel segmentation layer 50 is formed with a thickness of about 1.5 μm.

[0422] Next, an organic EL display was fabricated using a substrate on which the first electrode portion 48, the auxiliary electrode portion 49, and the pixel segmentation layer portion 50 were formed. After performing nitrogen plasma treatment as a pretreatment, an organic EL layer portion 51 containing a light-emitting layer was formed by vacuum evaporation. Figure 3 (3)). It should be noted that the vacuum degree during vapor deposition is 1×10. -3 Below Pa, the substrate was rotated relative to the evaporation source during the evaporation process. First, compound (HT-1) was deposited for 10 nm as a hole injection layer, and compound (HT-2) was deposited for 50 nm as a hole transport layer. Next, in the light-emitting layer, compound (GH-1) as the host material and compound (GD-1) as the dopant material were deposited at a doping concentration of 10 vol% to a thickness of 40 nm. Then, compound (ET-1) as the electron transport material and compound (LiQ) were stacked at a volume ratio of 1:1 to a thickness of 40 nm. It should be noted that the compounds used in the organic EL layer (compounds (HT-1), (HT-2), (GH-1), (GD-1), (ET-1), and (LiQ)) are the same compounds described in paragraphs

[0599] to

[0600] of International Publication No. 2017 / 057281.

[0423] Next, after depositing 2 nm of compound (LiQ), 10 nm of MgAg (magnesium / silver = 10 / 1 (volume ratio)) was deposited to form the second electrode portion 52, thus forming a transparent electrode. Figure 3 (4) Then, under a low-humidity nitrogen atmosphere, the cap-shaped glass plate was bonded with an epoxy resin adhesive to seal it, thus fabricating four 5mm square top-emitting organic EL displays on a single substrate. It should be noted that the film thickness referred to here is the display value of a crystal oscillator film thickness monitor.

[0424] <Fabrication of Micro LED Displays>

[0425] Using an alkali-free glass substrate as a support substrate, a temporary adhesive material containing polyimide is disposed on the support substrate, and an LED as a light-emitting element is disposed on the support substrate. The LED has a thickness of 2 μm, a length of 10 μm on one side, and a length of 20 μm on the other side. Next, composition S1 is coated and pre-baked on the support substrate and the LED using the above method. Patterning exposure, development, and washing are performed through a photomask with a predetermined pattern to form a matrix pattern having multiple openings exposing the LED and its surroundings. The openings are rectangular in shape, with a length of 15 μm on one side and a length of 25 μm on the other side. The pattern size between openings with a length of 15 μm on one side and between openings with a length of 25 μm on the other side in the matrix pattern is also 5 μm. Then, it is thermally cured by heating to form a spacer layer with a film thickness of approximately 4 μm. The thermosetting conditions were as follows: under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 20 ppm by mass, the temperature was increased to 200°C at a rate of 3.5°C / min, and then the temperature was maintained at 200°C for 60 minutes before cooling to 50°C.

[0426] Next, composition 1 was coated and pre-baked on the support substrate and the LED using the method described above. Patterning was performed using a photomask with a predetermined pattern, followed by exposure, development, and washing to form multiple opening patterns extending through the thickness direction to the LED. The opening patterns were circular, with the smallest pattern having a bottom diameter of 2 μm. Then, the mixture was heated to thermally cure, forming a planarization layer with a film thickness of approximately 4 μm. The thermal curing conditions were as follows: heating at a rate of 3.5 °C / min to 200 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration below 20 ppm, followed by a heat treatment at 200 °C for 60 minutes, and then cooling to 50 °C.

[0427] Next, a titanium barrier metal film is sputtered onto the planarization layer and the spacer layer, and a copper seed layer is further sputtered onto the barrier metal. Then, a photoresist layer is formed, and copper metal wiring for electrical connection to the LED is formed on the opening pattern portion of the planarization layer and a portion of the planarization layer surface using a plating method. The photoresist layer, seed layer, and barrier metal at locations where metal wiring was not formed are then removed. The thickness of the metal wiring formed on a portion of the planarization layer surface is 5 μm.

[0428] Next, on the planarization layer and the spacer layer, polyimide and polyphenylene oxide will be incorporated. The positive photosensitive composition of the azole precursor was coated and pre-baked using the above method. After patterning exposure, development, and washing via a photomask with a predetermined pattern, it was thermally cured to form an interlayer insulating layer with a thickness of approximately 10 μm. The thermal curing conditions were: heat treatment at 110°C for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 100 ppm by mass, followed by further heat treatment at 230°C for 60 minutes. Next, a titanium barrier metal was sputtered onto the interlayer insulating layer, and a copper seed layer was sputtered onto the barrier metal. Next, a photoresist layer was formed, and copper metal wiring for electrical connection to the LED was formed on the opening pattern portion of the interlayer insulating layer and a portion of the surface of the interlayer insulating layer by plating. Then, the photoresist layer, seed layer, and barrier metal were removed from the locations where metal wiring was not formed. The thickness of the metal wiring formed on a portion of the surface of the interlayer insulating layer was 5 μm. Then, the formation of the interlayer insulation layer and the metal wiring were repeated twice to form a three-layer interlayer insulation layer. The total thickness of the three interlayer insulation layers is 30 μm.

[0429] Next, metal wiring in the opening pattern of the interlayer insulating layer is sputtered to form a film blocking metal, thus forming solder bumps. Then, the solder is reflowed by heating at 260°C for 1 minute, and electrically connected to the light-emitting element driving substrate having a driving IC as a driving element through the solder bumps. Next, the support substrate is peeled off, and the opposing substrate is bonded with an adhesive layer or the like, thereby fabricating a microLED display having multiple LEDs as light-emitting elements.

[0430] <Examples 2 to 122 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6>

[0431] The same operations and evaluations as in Example 1 were performed using the compositions shown in Tables 3-1 to 3-10. It should be noted that in Examples 1 to 116 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, each composition was used as a composition for forming a pixel segmentation layer or a composition for forming a planarization layer; additionally, composition S1 was used as a composition for forming a spacer layer. On the other hand, in Examples 117 to 122, composition 1 was used as a composition for forming a pixel segmentation layer or a composition for forming a planarization layer; additionally, compositions S2 to S7 were used as compositions for forming spacer layers. These evaluation results are summarized in Tables 3-1 to 3-10. It should be noted that the fluorine content in all solid components of the pixel segmentation layer forming compositions in Examples 84, 90 to 94, 102, and 103 exceeded 1,000 ppm by mass. The fluorine content in all solid components of the pixel segmentation layer forming compositions in Examples 1-83, Examples 85-89, Examples 95-101, Examples 104-106, Examples 114-116, and Comparative Examples 1-6 is 0 ppm by mass. The fluorine content in all solid components of the spacer layer forming compositions in Compositions S1-S7 is 0 ppm by mass. The fluorine content in all solid components of the pixel segmentation layer forming compositions in Examples 107-113 is as described in Tables 3-7.

[0432] It should be noted that Tables 3-6 record the hydrogen ion index of each composition prepared in Examples 1 and 81-89. Furthermore, in each example, when a composition with positive photosensitivity was used, the development time was set to 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds. The optimal development time (60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds) and the optimal exposure at that development time were determined from these results. Patterns exposed at the optimal exposure and developed at the optimal development time were then heat-cured at 200°C for 60 minutes. The heat-curing conditions were: heating to 200°C at a rate of 3.5°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 20 ppm by mass, performing a heat treatment at 200°C for 60 minutes, and then cooling to 50°C. On the other hand, when a composition with negative photosensitivity was used, a photomask with the light-transmitting and light-blocking portions reversed was used, and the development time was set to 1.3 times the measured BP. The pattern, after being exposed and developed at the optimal exposure level, was heat-cured at 220°C for 60 minutes. The heat-curing conditions were as follows: under a nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of less than 20 ppm by mass, the temperature was increased at a rate of 3.5°C / min until it reached 220°C, and after heat treatment at 220°C for 60 minutes, it was cooled to 50°C.

[0453] Comparative Examples 1 and 2 do not contain methanol or ethanol. The methanol content of Comparative Example 3 does not meet the inventive specificity of this application. Comparative Example 4 contains only alcohol compounds other than methanol and ethanol. Therefore, the various properties of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 are poor. Furthermore, Comparative Example 5 does not contain methanol or ethanol, and the content of chlorine and chloride ions is higher than 1,000 ppm by mass. Comparative Example 6 does not contain methanol or ethanol, and the content of a specific anion is higher than 30,000 ppm by mass (=3.0% by mass), and the content of a quaternary cation is higher than 50,000 ppm by mass (=5.0% by mass). Therefore, the various properties of Comparative Examples 5 to 6 are poor.
