Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photoresist technology, and in particular to a red pigment for color photoresist and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The red pigment in photoresist is a key functional material used to manufacture the red pixel portion of the color filter in a liquid crystal display (LCD).

[0003] The drawbacks of red pigment paste for photoresist are: nanoscale pigment particles are prone to aggregation and sedimentation due to their high surface energy, resulting in poor dispersion stability and affecting coating uniformity; during storage or processing, the pigment paste is sensitive to temperature and light, and solvent evaporation or chemical reactions of components can accelerate the decay of the red hue, shortening the effective storage time; finally, after film formation, uneven pigment distribution, particle size differences, or fluctuations in the baking process can directly cause color differences in the film layer, affecting color consistency and display effect. Based on this, the present invention provides a red pigment paste for color photoresist and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a red pigment paste for color photoresist with good dispersibility and long shelf life, which is applied to a red pigment paste for color photoresist and its preparation method.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: This invention provides a red pigment paste for color photoresist, wherein the red pigment paste for color photoresist is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 17-19 parts modified pigment red 177, 56-58 parts propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 2.2-2.4 parts poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylate) copolymer, 9-10 parts acrylate resin, 1-1.2 parts styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, and 0.42-0.56 parts antioxidant.

[0006] The styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer has a maleic anhydride content of 12% and an average molecular weight of 8000. The average molecular weight of acrylate resins is 10,000-15,000; The solid content of the poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylate) copolymer is 50%. Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is photolithography grade, with a moisture content ≤50ppm; Furthermore, the preparation of the modified pigment Red 177 includes the following steps: A1. Place Pigment Red 177 into an air jet mill for pulverization. Set the inlet pressure to 0.6-0.8 MPa and the classifier speed to 3000 rpm. Pulverize for 5-8 minutes. Place the pulverized Pigment Red 177 into a vacuum drying oven for drying. Set the vacuum degree to -0.09 MPa and the temperature to 80℃. Dry for 3 hours to obtain dried Pigment Red 177 granules. A2. Place tea polyphenols and ascorbic acid into an agate mortar and grind for 5 minutes. Then pass the mixture through a 400-mesh sieve to obtain the modifier. A3. Add the dried pigment Red 177 particles to a high-speed plow mixer and stir at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes. Add the modifier and stir for 10 minutes. Add polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and stir. Set the temperature to 50℃, increase the speed to 2000 rpm, and stir for 60 minutes to obtain a mixed pigment. Place the mixed pigment in a vacuum drying oven and dry at 60℃ and a vacuum degree of -0.09 MPa for 2 hours. Allow it to cool naturally to 25℃ to obtain the modified pigment Red 177.

[0007] By using a composite modifier of tea polyphenols and ascorbic acid, combined with surface treatment of polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride, the dispersibility of pigments and the stability of color pastes can be improved. Furthermore, the mass ratio of pigment red 177, tea polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride is 68:4:1:232.

[0008] Furthermore, the polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride is a 20% aqueous solution with a molecular weight of 120,000-180,000.

[0009] Furthermore, the purity of the pigment red 177 is ≥99.5%, and the particle size of the pulverized pigment red 177 is 1-3 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the preparation of the antioxidant includes the following steps: S1. Add deionized water to the reaction vessel and stir. Set the temperature to 40℃ and the speed to 800 rpm. Add β-cyclodextrin and stir for 10 minutes. Add pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid] and UV-327 and stir for 15 minutes at 800 rpm to obtain a suspension. S2. Disperse the suspension in an ultrasonic cell disruptor, set the power to 500W, pulse mode, and disperse for 10 minutes. Place the dispersed suspension in a freeze dryer and freeze for 2 hours at -50℃. Set the vacuum degree of the freeze dryer to ≤10Pa and dry for 8 hours to obtain a freeze antioxidant. Place the freeze antioxidant in a planetary ball mill and grind for 30 minutes at 500rpm to obtain an antioxidant.

[0011] β-Cyclodextrin encapsulates two antioxidant components (pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid] + UV-327), and combined with ultrasonic dispersion and freeze-drying processes, it can enhance the compatibility of antioxidants with the color paste system; Furthermore, the mass ratio of the deionized water, β-cyclodextrin, pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] to UV-327 is 21:0.8:1:1.

[0012] UV-327 is 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-tert-butylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole; Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a red pigment paste for a color photoresist, comprising the following preparation steps: Modified pigment Red 177 was added to a high-speed shear mill, and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate was added and stirred at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes. The speed was then increased to 12000 rpm and stirred for 50 minutes to obtain a slurry. The slurry was then placed in a grinding mill, zirconium beads were added, and the speed was set to 2000 rpm while controlling the temperature to ≤45℃. The milling process was carried out for 3 hours. The zirconium beads were then filtered out using a stainless steel filter. The ground slurry was then added to a reaction vessel, and poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylate) copolymer was added and stirred at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes. The temperature was then raised to 50℃, and styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer was added and stirred for 30 minutes. An antioxidant was added and stirred at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes. Propylene glycol methyl ether acetate was then added to obtain a mixed slurry. The mixed slurry was then filtered under pressure using a positive pressure filter to obtain a red pigment paste for use in color photoresist.

[0013] The initial addition of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate accounts for 98%-100% of the total mass of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate; Add propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to adjust the slurry viscosity to 100±20 mPa at 25℃. s; Furthermore, the positive pressure filter is supplied with nitrogen gas and set at a pressure of 0.2 MPa, and uses a polytetrafluoroethylene filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm.

[0014] Furthermore, the pore size of the stainless steel filter screen is 50-100μm; The mass ratio of zirconium beads to slurry is 1.5:1; The diameter of the zirconium beads is 0.2 mm.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, modified pigment Red 177 is added as a core colorant, which can ensure high tinting strength and bright red tone to meet the color requirements of colored photoresist; after airflow pulverization, it is adapted to the fine film formation and high resolution requirements of photoresist; and through modification with tea polyphenols, ascorbic acid and polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride, the surface polarity is optimized, particle agglomeration is greatly reduced, and the dispersion stability in the color paste system is improved.

[0016] 2. In this invention, an antioxidant is added. The antioxidant is made by coating pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] with UV-327 via β-cyclodextrin. The hindered phenolic component can effectively inhibit thermo-oxidative aging and prevent the performance of the pigment paste from degrading due to oxidation during high-temperature film formation. UV-327 can block the degradation of the pigment paste by ultraviolet light and prevent the red tone from fading. After β-cyclodextrin coating, ultrasonic dispersion and freeze-drying, the compatibility between the antioxidant and the pigment paste system is greatly improved, and there will be no problem of antioxidant precipitation, which will avoid affecting the performance of the photoresist. Ultimately, it will extend the storage life of the pigment paste and the weather resistance of the photoresist product, making the red tone more durable.

[0017] 3. In this invention, modified pigment red 177, poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylate) copolymer, and polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride are added. The three work synergistically. The modified groups on the surface of modified pigment red 177 can form a stable adsorption with the cationic groups of polydimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride. Combined with the steric hindrance effect of poly(methacrylic acid-co-acrylate) copolymer, a dual stable structure of "adsorption-steric hindrance" is constructed. This synergistic effect can inhibit the agglomeration of pigment particles and allow the pigment to be uniformly dispersed in propylene glycol methyl ether acetate solvent. Ultimately, it can ensure that the color paste is uniform and delicate, and avoid color difference or pattern blurring after the photoresist film is formed. Detailed Implementation

[0055] (2) The photostability ΔE of Examples 1-3 is much better than that of Comparative Examples 1-3.

After ultrasonic dispersion and freeze-drying, the compatibility between the antioxidant and the pigment system is greatly improved.

[0056] (3) The clarity of Examples 1-3 is better than that of Comparative Examples 1-3.
