Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of color photoresist technology, specifically to a dimeric triarylmethane compound for blue photoresist pigment and its synthesis method. Background Technology

[0002] In the flat panel display manufacturing industry, the performance of the color filter (CF) in TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) directly affects the color performance of the display. Currently, the industry mainly uses pigment nano-dispersion photoresist systems. Although these systems possess good weather resistance and initial color saturation, the low solubility of pigment molecules leads to the formation of large aggregates in the photoresist, resulting in severe backlight scattering. This significantly reduces the contrast of the color filter and increases energy consumption. This deficiency makes it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of next-generation display technologies for wide color gamut and low power consumption.

[0003] To achieve precise spectral control, color filters rely on the selective absorption characteristics of colorant molecules (380~780nm visible light band). Triarylmethane dyes are considered ideal candidates due to their wide spectral range (yellow-blue-red), high molar extinction coefficient, excellent fluorescence properties, and structural tunability. However, current technologies still lack solutions for blue triarylmethane compounds that combine high stability, ease of synthesis, and excellent dispersibility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention effectively overcomes the aforementioned technical barriers through innovative molecular design and simplified processes. For example, the dimerized triarylmethane structure greatly improves its photothermal stability, and its good solubility results in excellent dispersibility, thus improving contrast and brightness.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the technical defects of the prior art and further improve the stability of compounds used in photoresist. This invention provides a dimerized triarylmethane compound for blue photoresist pigments and its synthesis method. The dimerized triarylmethane compound molecule provided by this invention greatly improves the weather resistance, such as light and heat resistance, through dimerization. Furthermore, due to the greater steric hindrance resulting from dimerization and the presence of more lipid-soluble groups in the molecule itself, its solubility and dispersibility are improved.

[0006] These triarylmethane compounds can be mixed with other colorants to form mixed or dye-type blue photoresist pastes, which can be used to improve various properties of the pastes, such as brightness, contrast and weather resistance.

[0153] Effect Experiment Example

[0154] I. Determination of UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy of Triarylmethane Dye Molecules

[0155] The triarylmethane dyes prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 were formulated into 10 μmol / L solutions using propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) as the solvent. The absorption spectra were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The molar extinction coefficient of the dyes was calculated using the following formula:

[0156] Α = εcl

[0157] In the formula, A is the absorption intensity; ε is the molar extinction coefficient, L / (mol·cm); c is the concentration, mol / L; and l is the thickness of the absorption layer, cm.

[0160]

[0161] As shown in Table 1, the triarylmethane dye molecules prepared in Examples 1, 2, and 3 show a slight red shift compared to Comparative Example 1, while the triarylmethane dye molecules prepared in Examples 1 and 3 show a slight blue shift compared to Comparative Example 2. Furthermore, the triarylmethane dye molecules prepared in Example 1 have the highest molar absorptivity.

[0162] II. Solubility Test of Triarylmethane Dye Molecules
