Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application filed on March 15, 2023, with application number 202380026537.2 and entitled "Coloring Resin Composition, Cured Product, Color Filter and Image Display Device". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to coloring resin compositions, cured products, color filters, and image display devices.

[0003] This application claims priority under Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-040964, filed on March 16, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0004] Previously, methods for manufacturing color filters used in liquid crystal display devices included pigment dispersion, dyeing, electrodeposition, and printing. Among these, pigment dispersion, which possesses excellent balanced properties, is the most widely used method from the perspectives of spectral characteristics, durability, pattern shape, and precision.

[0005] In recent years, color filters have been required to offer higher brightness, higher contrast, and wider color gamut. As the colorant determining the color of a color filter, pigments are typically used from the perspectives of heat resistance and lightfastness. However, pigments, especially in terms of high brightness, are gradually failing to meet market demands, leading to active research into using dyes as a substitute for pigments. For example, research has been conducted on using phthalocyanine dyes in green pixel applications (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0009] The problem the invention aims to solve

[0010] During their research, the inventors discovered that the solubility of the coloring resin composition described in Patent Document 1 in the developing solution varies significantly depending on the content ratio of the aforementioned phthalocyanine dye in the colorant.

In particular, this tendency is more pronounced at lower pre-baking temperatures.

[0011] It was also found that the coloring resin composition described in Patent Document 1 may produce residue after development due to the content ratio of the aforementioned phthalocyanine dye in the colorant, and the contrast of the resulting green pixels may be poor.

[0057] In this invention, "CI" refers to the Color Index.

[0058] [1] Coloring resin composition

[0059] The coloring resin composition of the present invention contains (A) a colorant, (B) a solvent, (C) an alkali-soluble resin, (D) a photopolymerization initiator, and (E) a photopolymerizable monomer. Furthermore, other additives besides the above-mentioned components may be incorporated if necessary.

[0060] [1-1] (A) Coloring agent

[0061] The colorant (A) contained in the coloring resin composition of the present invention comprises a phthalocyanine compound (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "phthalocyanine compound (1)") having the chemical structure shown in the following general formula (1) and a yellow pigment. The phthalocyanine compound (1) in the colorant (A) is present in an amount of 65% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less.

[0062]

[0063] In equation (1), A 1 ~A 16 Each of these can independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a group represented by the general formula (2) below. Wherein, A 1 ~A 16 One or more of them represent fluorine atoms, and A 1 ~A 16 One or more of them represent the groups shown in the following general formula (2).

[0064]

[0065] In formula (2), X represents a divalent linking group. The benzene ring in formula (2) may optionally have any substituents. * indicates a linking bond.

[0066] The coloring resin composition of the present invention contains a colorant (A) comprising a phthalocyanine compound (1), wherein the content of the phthalocyanine compound (1) in the colorant (A) is 65% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less.

[0067] In phthalocyanine compound (1), one or more hydrogen atoms constituting the phthalocyanine skeleton are replaced by fluorine atoms with small atomic radii, resulting in a structure that does not easily hinder the association of phthalocyanine compounds (1) with each other. Therefore, it can be considered that when the intermolecular distance is shortened by heating during pre-baking, an associative body will be formed, thereby forming a complex by wrapping the (C) alkali-soluble resin contained in the coloring resin composition of the present invention around it, and the dissolution rate is faster than that of phthalocyanine compound (1) alone. At this time, if the pre-baking temperature is low, the association of phthalocyanine compounds (1) with each other is not likely to occur. On the other hand, it can be considered that by making the content of phthalocyanine compound (1) 65% by mass or more, the association between phthalocyanine compounds (1) is not easily hindered by other colorants. Even at a low pre-baking temperature, regular assemblage of phthalocyanine compound (1) will be formed, and local aggregation is not likely to occur. Therefore, while the transmittance and contrast are increased, the molecular weight based on the assemblage is increased. As a result, alkali-soluble resin is easily wrapped around it, so the dissolution rate is faster and the generation of residue during development is also suppressed.

By setting it to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency to reproduce a wide range of hues. Furthermore, by setting it to the aforementioned upper limit or below, there is a tendency to ensure stability over time. The aforementioned upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily.

It is also preferably 9 or less, more preferably 7 or less, and even more preferably 6 or less.

[0128] Alkyl acetates such as cyclohexyl acetate;

[0129] Ethers such as pentyl ether, propyl ether, diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, diisopropyl ether, butyl ether, dipentyl ether, ethyl isobutyl ether, and dihexyl ether;

[0130] Ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl amyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl isopentyl ketone, diisopropyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, ethyl amyl ketone, methyl butyl ketone, methyl hexyl ketone, methyl nonyl ketone, and methoxymethyl amyl ketone;

[0131] Monohydric or polyhydric alcohols such as ethanol, propanol, butanol, hexanol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, methoxymethylpentanol, glycerol, and benzyl alcohol;

[0132] Aliphatic hydrocarbons such as n-pentane, n-octane, diisobutylene, n-hexane, hexene, isoprene, dipentene, and dodecane;

[0133] Alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, methylcyclohexene, and dicyclohexane;

[0140] Commercially available solvents include, for example, mineral oil, Varsol #2, Apco #18 solvent, Apcothinner, Socal solvent No.1 and No.2, Solvesso #150, Shell TS28 solvent, carbitol, ethyl carbitol, butyl carbitol, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve acetate, methyl cellosolve acetate, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme) (all trade names). These solvents can be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0141] When forming the pixels of the color filter using photolithography, the solvent for (B) is preferably a solvent with a boiling point of 100 to 200°C (under a pressure of 1013.25 hPa. Hereinafter, the same applies to boiling point). A solvent with a boiling point of 120 to 170°C is more preferred.

[0142] From the viewpoint of good balance of coatability, surface tension, etc., and high solubility of the constituent components in the composition, glycol alkyl ether acetates are preferred.

[0143] Diol alkyl ether acetates can be used alone or in combination with other solvents.

[0144] As a solvent for use in combination, glycol monoalkyl ethers are particularly preferred. From the viewpoint of the solubility of the constituent components in the composition, propylene glycol monomethyl ether is preferred.

[0145] Diol monoalkyl ethers are highly polar. If too much is added, the pigments tend to aggregate, and the viscosity of the resulting colored resin composition gradually increases, which reduces its storage stability. Therefore, when using diol monoalkyl ethers in combination, the proportion of diol monoalkyl ethers in the solvent (B) is preferably 5 to 30% by mass, more preferably 5 to 20% by mass.

[0146] Alternatively, solvents with boiling points of 150°C or higher can be used in combination. While using solvents with boiling points of 150°C or higher makes the coloring resin composition less prone to drying, it also prevents the disruption of the interrelationships of the components in the pigment dispersion due to rapid drying. When using solvents with boiling points of 150°C or higher, the content of the solvent with a boiling point of 150°C or higher in solvent (B) is preferably 3-50% by mass, more preferably 5-40% by mass, and particularly preferably 5-30% by mass. By setting this to the aforementioned lower limit or higher, it is easier to avoid defects such as foreign matter caused by the precipitation and curing of colorant components at the tip of the slit nozzle. Furthermore, by setting this to the aforementioned upper limit or lower, it is easier to avoid problems such as slow drying speed of the composition, poor cycle time of the reduced pressure drying process, and pin marks from pre-baking.

[0147] Solvents with a boiling point above 150°C can be glycol alkyl ether acetates, or glycol alkyl ethers, in which case it is not necessary to contain a solvent with a boiling point above 150°C.

[0148] Examples of solvents with a boiling point of 150°C or higher include diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 1,3-butanediol diacetate, 1,6-hexanediol diacetate, and glyceryl triacetate.

[0149] When forming the pixels of a color filter using inkjet printing, the solvent for (B) is preferably a solvent with a boiling point of 130°C or higher and 300°C or lower, more preferably 150°C or higher and 280°C or lower. By setting the value to the aforementioned lower limit or higher, there is a tendency for the uniformity of the resulting coating film to become better, and by setting the value to the aforementioned upper limit or lower, there is a tendency for residual solvent during firing to be reduced more easily.

[0150] From the viewpoint of the uniformity of the resulting coating, the solvent with a vapor pressure of 10 mmHg or less, more preferably 5 mmHg or less, and even more preferably 1 mmHg or less can be used.

[0151] When manufacturing color filters using inkjet printing, the ink ejected from the nozzle is extremely fine, ranging from several to tens of pL. Therefore, there is a tendency for the solvent to evaporate before reaching the nozzle or pixel array, resulting in ink concentration / drying. To avoid this, solvent (B) preferably contains a solvent with a high boiling point, specifically, preferably a solvent with a boiling point of 180°C or higher. More preferably, it contains a solvent with a boiling point of 200°C or higher, and particularly preferably a solvent with a boiling point of 220°C or higher. When a solvent with a boiling point of 180°C or higher is included, the proportion of this solvent in solvent (B) is preferably 50% by mass or higher, more preferably 70% by mass or higher, and most preferably 90% by mass or higher. By setting this to the aforementioned lower limit or higher, there is a tendency to effectively prevent solvent evaporation from the droplets.

[0152] Solvents with boiling points above 180°C include diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate, 1,3-butanediol diacetate, 1,6-hexanol diacetate, and glyceryl triacetate.

[0153] To adjust the viscosity of the coloring resin composition and the solubility of the solid components, a solvent with a boiling point below 180°C may be included. Such a solvent is preferably one with low viscosity, high solubility, and low surface tension, such as ethers, esters, or ketones. Examples of preferred solvents include cyclohexanone, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, and cyclohexanol acetate.

[0154] If the solvent contains alcohols, the inkjet printing stability may deteriorate. When alcohols are used in combination, the alcohol content in solvent (B) is preferably 20% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 5% by mass or less.

[0155] (B) The proportion of solvent in the coloring resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, but the upper limit is preferably 99% by mass or less, more preferably 90% by mass or less, and even more preferably 85% by mass or less. By setting it below the aforementioned upper limit, there is a tendency for a coating film to be formed more easily. On the other hand, considering the viscosity suitable for coating, the lower limit of the solvent content is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 75% by mass or more, and even more preferably 80% by mass or more. The above upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, the proportion of solvent in the coloring resin composition is preferably 70 to 99% by mass, more preferably 75 to 90% by mass, and even more preferably 80 to 85% by mass.

[0156] [1-3] (C) Alkali-soluble resin

By keeping the amount of solvent used within the aforementioned range, there is a tendency to easily control the molecular weight of the copolymer.

[0188] There are no particular limitations on the free radical polymerization initiator used in copolymerization reactions, as long as it can initiate free radical polymerization. Commonly used organic peroxide catalysts or azo compound catalysts can be used. Examples of well-known organic peroxide catalysts include those classified as peroxide ketones, peroxy ketals, hydrogen peroxide, diallyl peroxides, diacid peroxides, peroxide esters, and peroxydicarbonates.

[0189] Examples of free radical polymerization initiators used in copolymerization reactions include benzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, diisopropyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, tert-hexyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide (2-ethylhexanoate), tert-hexyl peroxide (2-ethylhexanoate), 1,1-bis(tert-butylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexyl-3,3-isopropylperoxy Hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene peroxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, acetyl peroxide, bis(4-tert-butylcyclohexyl) peroxide dicarbonate, diisopropyl peroxide dicarbonate, isobutyl peroxide, 3,3,5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, 1,1-bis(tert-butylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, 1,1-bis(tert-hexylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane.

[0190] Examples of azo compound catalysts include azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and azobiscarbonamide (ACA).

[0191] Among these, one or more free radical polymerization initiators with suitable half-lives can be used depending on the polymerization temperature.

[0192] The amount of free radical polymerization initiator used relative to the total amount of monomers used in the copolymerization reaction is typically 0.5 to 20 parts by mass, preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass.

[0193] Regarding copolymerization, the monomers and free radical polymerization initiators used in the copolymerization reaction can be dissolved in a solvent and heated while stirring. Alternatively, the monomers with added free radical polymerization initiators can be added dropwise to the solvent while heating and stirring. Or, the free radical polymerization initiator can be added to the solvent and the monomers can be added dropwise while heating.

[0194] The reaction conditions can be set according to the target molecular weight.

[0195] In this invention, the copolymer of epoxy-containing (meth)acrylate and other free radical polymerizable monomers is preferably composed of 5 to 90 mol% repeating units from epoxy-containing (meth)acrylate and 10 to 95 mol% repeating units from other free radical polymerizable monomers; more preferably, it is composed of 20 to 80 mol% repeating units from epoxy-containing (meth)acrylate and 80 to 20 mol% repeating units from other free radical polymerizable monomers; particularly preferably, it is composed of 30 to 70 mol% repeating units from epoxy-containing (meth)acrylate and 70 to 30 mol% repeating units from other free radical polymerizable monomers.

[0196] By setting the proportion of repeating units from epoxy-containing (meth)acrylates above the aforementioned lower limit, there is a tendency for the addition of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and polycarboxylic anhydrides, as described later, to become sufficient.

[0197] By setting the proportion of repeating units from other free radical polymerizable monomers above the aforementioned lower limit, there is a tendency for the heat resistance and strength to become sufficiently adequate.

[0198] Next, the unsaturated monocarboxylic acid (polymerizable component) and polycarboxylic acid anhydride (alkali-soluble component) are reacted with the epoxy groups of the copolymer of (meth)acrylate and other free radical polymerizable monomers containing epoxy groups.

[0199] As an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid that adds to an epoxy group, a known unsaturated monocarboxylic acid can be used, such as unsaturated carboxylic acids having an olefinic unsaturated double bond.

[0200] Examples of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids that undergo addition to an epoxy group include (meth)acrylic acid; crotonic acid; o-, m-, and p-vinylbenzoic acid; and monocarboxylic acids such as (meth)acrylic acid substituted at the α-position with a haloalkyl group, alkoxy group, halogen atom, nitro group, or cyano group, with (meth)acrylic acid being preferred. One type of unsaturated monocarboxylic acid may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

[0201] By adding an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid to an epoxy group, polymerizability can be imparted to the resin (C-1).

[0202] The unsaturated monocarboxylic acid is added to the epoxy groups of the copolymer at a rate of, for example, 10 to 100 mol%, preferably 30 to 100 mol%, more preferably 50 to 100 mol%. By setting this to a value above the aforementioned lower limit, there is a tendency for the coloring resin composition to have good stability over time.

[0203] As a method for adding an unsaturated monobasic acid to the epoxy group of a copolymer, a known method can be used.

[0204] In addition, a known polyacid anhydride can be used as the polyacid anhydride added to the hydroxyl group generated when an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid is added to the epoxy group of the copolymer.

[0205] Examples of polybasic acid anhydrides include dibasic acid anhydrides such as maleic anhydride, succinic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, and chlorobridged anhydride; and tribasic or higher acid anhydrides such as trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride, benzophenone tetracarboxylic anhydride, and biphenyl tetracarboxylic anhydride. Tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and succinic anhydride are preferred. These polybasic acid anhydrides can be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0206] By adding a polyacid anhydride to a hydroxyl group generated when an unsaturated monoacid is added to the epoxy group of the copolymer, alkali solubility can be imparted to the resin (C-1).

[0207] The amount of polyacid anhydride added to the hydroxyl group formed by adding an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid to the epoxy group of the copolymer is, for example, 10 to 100 mol%, preferably 20 to 90 mol%, and more preferably 30 to 80 mol%. By setting it to the upper limit mentioned above, there is a tendency for the residual film rate during development to become good; in addition, by setting it to the lower limit mentioned above, there is a tendency for the solubility to become sufficient.

[0208] As a method for adding a polyacid anhydride to a hydroxyl group generated by adding an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid to an epoxy group of a copolymer, a known method can be used.

[0209] Furthermore, in order to improve photosensitivity, after the addition of polyacid anhydrides, glycidyl (meth)acrylate or glycidyl ether compounds with polymerizable unsaturated groups can be added to a portion of the generated carboxyl group.

[0210] To improve developability, a glycidyl ether compound without polymerizable unsaturated groups can be added to a portion of the generated carboxyl group.

[0211] In addition, it can be added to both glycidyl ether compounds having polymerizable unsaturated groups and glycidyl ether compounds not having polymerizable unsaturated groups.

[0212] Examples of glycidyl ether compounds that do not have polymerizable unsaturated groups include those having phenyl or alkyl groups.

[0213] Commercially available glycidyl ether compounds that do not have polymerizable unsaturated groups include, for example, those manufactured by Nagase ChemteX under the trade names “DENACOL EX-111”, “DENACOL EX-121”, “DENACOL EX-141”, “DENACOL EX-145”, “DENACOL EX-146”, “DENACOL EX-171”, and “DENACOL EX-192”.

[0214] The structure of the resin (C-1) is described, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-297366 and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-89533.

[0215] The weight-average molecular weight of the resin (C-1) converted from polystyrene by GPC is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3,000 to 100,000, and particularly preferably 5,000 to 50,000. By setting it to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency for the heat resistance and film strength to become better; conversely, by setting it to the aforementioned upper limit or below, there is a tendency for the solubility relative to the developer to become better.

[0216] As a standard for molecular weight distribution, the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mw / Mn) of the resin (C-1) is preferably 2.0 to 5.0.

Various chain transfer agents can be used, such as thiol-containing compounds and carbon tetrachloride. However, considering the tendency towards high chain transfer efficiency, thiol-containing compounds are preferred.

By setting it to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency to improve the curability of the coating film; and by setting it to the aforementioned upper limit or below, visible light absorption is reduced, and therefore, there is a tendency to improve brightness. The above upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, in the coloring resin composition, the content ratio of (D) photopolymerization initiator in the total solids content of the coloring resin composition is preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.8 to 8% by mass, further preferably 1 to 6% by mass, and particularly preferably 1.2 to 4% by mass.

The aforementioned upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, when the coloring resin composition contains a chain transfer agent, its proportion in the total solids of the coloring resin composition is preferably 0.1 to 3% by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 2.5% by mass, further preferably 0.3 to 2% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.4 to 1.5% by mass.

[0357] [1-5] (E) Photopolymerizable monomers

[0358] The coloring resin composition of the present invention contains (E) photopolymerizable monomers.

[0359] (E) There are no particular limitations on the photopolymerizable monomer, as long as it is a low-molecular-weight compound capable of polymerization. Preferably, it is a compound capable of addition polymerization having at least one olefinic double bond (hereinafter referred to as "olefinic compound"). The olefinic compound is a compound having an olefinic double bond that is added polymerized and cured by the action of a photopolymerization initiator when the coloring resin composition of the present invention is irradiated by active light. It should be noted that the monomer in the present invention refers to the concept relative to so-called high-molecular-weight substances, and includes dimers, trimers, and oligomers in addition to monomers in the narrow sense.

[0360] As a (E) photopolymerizable monomer, a polyfunctional olefin monomer having two or more olefin double bonds per molecule is particularly desirable. The number of olefin double bonds in the polyfunctional olefin monomer is not particularly limited, but is preferably two or more, more preferably four or more, even more preferably five or more, and preferably eight or less, even more preferably seven or less. By setting the value to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency to achieve high sensitivity; by setting the value to the aforementioned upper limit or below, there is a tendency to improve solubility in solvents. The aforementioned upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, the number of olefin double bonds in the polyfunctional olefin monomer is preferably 2 to 8, more preferably 2 to 7, even more preferably 4 to 7, and particularly preferably 5 to 7.

[0361] Examples of olefinic compounds include, for example, unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids and monohydroxy compounds, esters of aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds and unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters of aromatic polyhydroxy compounds and unsaturated carboxylic acids, esters obtained by esterification of unsaturated carboxylic acids with polycarboxylic acids and the aforementioned aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds, aromatic polyhydroxy compounds, etc., and olefinic compounds with a carbamate skeleton obtained by reacting polyisocyanate compounds with hydroxy compounds containing (meth)acryloyl groups.

[0362] Examples of acrylates that are aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds and unsaturated carboxylic acids include ethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolethane triacrylate, pentaerythritol diacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, and glyceryl acrylate. Additionally, examples include methacrylates formed by replacing the acrylic portion with a methacrylic acid portion, itaconic acid esters formed by replacing the acrylic acid portion, crotonic acid esters formed by replacing the crotonic acid portion, and maleic acid esters formed by replacing the maleic acid portion.

[0364] Esters obtained by the esterification reaction of unsaturated carboxylic acids with polycarboxylic acids and polyhydroxy compounds do not necessarily have to be a single substance; they can also be mixtures. Examples include condensates of acrylic acid, phthalic acid, and ethylene glycol; condensates of acrylic acid, maleic acid, and diethylene glycol; condensates of methacrylic acid, terephthalic acid, and pentaerythritol; and condensates of acrylic acid, adipic acid, butanediol, and glycerol.

[0366] In addition, examples of olefinic compounds used in this invention include acrylamides such as ethylene bisacrylamide; allyl esters such as diallyl phthalate; and vinyl compounds such as divinyl phthalate.

[0367] The alkene compound can be a monomer with an acid value. The monomer with an acid value is an ester of an aliphatic polyhydroxy compound and an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Preferably, it is a polyfunctional monomer that has an acid group obtained by reacting a non-aromatic carboxylic anhydride with the unreacted hydroxyl group of the aliphatic polyhydroxy compound. Particularly preferred is a polyfunctional monomer in which the aliphatic polyhydroxy compound is pentaerythritol and / or dipentaerythritol.

[0368] These monomers can be used individually, but since it is difficult to use a single compound in manufacturing, two or more can be mixed. Additionally, polyfunctional monomers without acid groups can be combined with polyfunctional monomers with acid groups as needed.

[0369] The preferred acid value for polyfunctional monomers with acid groups is 0.1 to 40 mg KOH / g, particularly preferably 5 to 30 mg KOH / g. Setting the acid value above the aforementioned lower limit tends to improve developing and dissolving properties, while setting it below the aforementioned upper limit tends to improve manufacturing and handling, and enhance curing properties such as photopolymerization performance and pixel surface smoothness. Therefore, when using two or more polyfunctional monomers with different acid groups in combination, or when using polyfunctional monomers without acid groups in combination, it is preferable to adjust the acid group count, based on all polyfunctional monomers, to be within the aforementioned range.

[0370] In this invention, a more preferred polyfunctional monomer having an acid group is a mixture of dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, and dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate succinates manufactured by Toa Synthetic Co., Ltd. and sold under the name TO1382. This polyfunctional monomer can also be used in combination with other polyfunctional monomers. Additionally, the polyfunctional monomer described in paragraphs

[0056] and

[0057] of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-140346 can also be used.

[0371] In this invention, from the viewpoint of improving the chemical resistance of pixels and the straightness of pixel edges, the polymerizable monomer described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-195971 is preferred.

[0372] From the perspective of balancing coating sensitivity and shortening development time, the polymerizable monomer described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-195974 is preferred.

[0373] In the coloring resin composition of the present invention, the content ratio of (E) photopolymerizable monomer is not particularly limited. In the total solids content of the coloring resin composition, it is preferably more than 0% by mass, more preferably 5% by mass or more, further preferably 10% by mass or more, even more preferably 15% by mass or more, particularly preferably 20% by mass or more, and preferably 70% by mass or less, more preferably 60% by mass or less, further preferably 50% by mass or less, even more preferably 40% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 30% by mass or less. By setting it to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency for the curability of the coating film to increase. Furthermore, by setting it to the aforementioned upper limit or below, there is a tendency for the reduction of alkali developability to be suppressed. The above upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, the content ratio of (E) photopolymerizable monomer in the coloring resin composition is preferably more than 0% by mass and less than 70% by mass in the total solids content of the coloring resin composition, more preferably 5 to 60% by mass, further preferably 10 to 50% by mass, even more preferably 15 to 40% by mass, and particularly preferably 20 to 30% by mass.

Preferably, it is 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.2% by mass or more, further preferably 0.3% by mass or more, particularly preferably 0.4% by mass or more, and preferably 3% by mass or less, more preferably 2% by mass or less, further preferably 1.5% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 1% by mass or less. By setting it to the aforementioned lower limit or above, there is a tendency to improve patterning characteristics and pattern adhesion under high humidity conditions. Furthermore, by setting it to the aforementioned upper limit or below, there is a tendency to suppress residue formation. The aforementioned upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, when the coloring resin composition contains an adhesion improver, its content ratio in the total solids composition is preferably 0.1 to 3% by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 2% by mass, further preferably 0.3 to 1.5% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.4 to 1% by mass.

[0448] [2] Preparation of coloring resin composition

[0449] Next, the method for preparing the coloring resin composition of the present invention will be described.

[0450] In preparing a coloring resin composition containing a pigment as a colorant (A), firstly, predetermined amounts of pigment, solvent, and dispersant are weighed separately. In a dispersion treatment step, the colorant containing the pigment is dispersed to prepare a pigment dispersion. In this dispersion treatment step, a paint shaker, sand mill, ball mill, roller mill, stone mill, jet mill, homogenizer, etc., can be used. By performing this dispersion treatment, the colorant is micronized, thereby improving the coating properties of the coloring resin composition and increasing the transmittance of the pixels in the color filter substrate of the product.

[0451] When dispersing pigments, it is preferable to use dispersing aids in appropriate combinations, as described above.

[0452] When using a sand mill for dispersion, glass beads or zirconia beads with a diameter of 0.1 to several mm are preferred. The temperature during dispersion is preferably set to 0°C or higher, more preferably room temperature or higher, and preferably 100°C or lower, more preferably 80°C or lower. It should be noted that the appropriate dispersion time varies depending on the composition of the pigment dispersion and the size of the sand mill, etc., and can be adjusted appropriately.

[0453] A homogeneous dispersion solution is prepared by mixing a solvent, an alkali-soluble resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a photopolymerization monomer, and other components as needed into the pigment dispersion obtained through the above dispersion treatment. It should be noted that fine dust particles may sometimes be introduced during the dispersion and mixing processes; therefore, it is preferable to filter the obtained pigment dispersion solution using a filter or similar device.

[0454] In the case where the colorant (A) does not contain pigment, the colorant, solvent, alkali-soluble resin, photopolymerization initiator, photopolymerization monomer, and other components as needed, other than those mentioned above, can be mixed to obtain a homogeneous solution. It is preferable to filter the resulting solution using a filter or the like.

[0455] [3] Manufacturing of cured products and color filters

[0456] The cured product of the present invention is formed by curing the coloring resin composition of the present invention.

[0457] Furthermore, the color filter of the present invention includes pixels made using the coloring resin composition of the present invention.

[0458] The following is an example of a method for manufacturing a color filter.

[0459] [3-1] Substrate (Support)

[0460] As the substrate for coating the coloring resin composition of the present invention, a transparent substrate is preferred. The material is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent and has suitable strength. Examples of suitable materials include: polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, sheets of thermoplastic resins such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polysulfone, sheets of thermosetting resins such as epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, and poly(meth)acrylic resin, or various types of glass. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, glass or heat-resistant resins are preferred.

[0461] To improve surface properties such as adhesion, the substrate to be coated with the colored resin composition, or the substrate with the black matrix described later, can be subjected to corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, or film formation treatment with various resins such as silane coupling agents or urethane resins, as needed. The thickness of the substrate is preferably 0.05 mm or more, more preferably 0.1 mm or more, and preferably 10 mm or less, more preferably 7 mm or less. For example, it is preferably 0.05 to 10 mm, more preferably 0.1 to 7 mm. Furthermore, when performing film formation treatment with various resins, the film thickness is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.05 μm or more, and preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 5 μm or less. For example, it is preferably 0.01 to 10 μm, more preferably 0.05 to 5 μm.

[0462] [3-2] Black matrix formation process

[0463] The color filter of the present invention can be manufactured by forming a black matrix on a transparent substrate, thereby typically forming red, green, and blue pixel images. The coloring resin composition of the present invention is preferably used as a coating liquid for forming green pixels (resist patterns) among the red, green, and blue pixels. Using the green pixel (resist pattern) forming coating liquid, various processes such as coating, heating and drying, image exposure, development, and firing are performed on the resin black matrix forming surface formed on the transparent substrate or on the metallic black matrix forming surface formed using a light-shielding metal material such as a chromium compound, thereby forming a pixel image.

[0464] A black matrix is ​​formed on a substrate using a coloring resin composition and a light-shielding metal film or a black matrix. Examples of light-shielding metal materials include metallic chromium, chromium oxide, chromium nitride and other chromium compounds, nickel and tungsten alloys, and these materials can be stacked in multiple layers.

[0465] Metallic light-shielding films are typically formed using sputtering. After forming the desired pattern in film form with a positive photoresist, chromium is etched using a mixed etching solution of cerium ammonium nitrate and perchloric acid and / or nitric acid. For other materials, an etching solution appropriate to the material is used. Finally, the positive photoresist is stripped with a special stripping agent, thereby forming a black matrix.

[0466] When using a light-shielding metal thin film, the metal or metal / metal oxide film is first formed on a transparent substrate using methods such as vapor deposition or sputtering. Next, a coating of a colored resin composition is formed on this film, and then the coating is exposed and developed using a photomask with repeating patterns such as stripes, mosaics, or triangles to form a resist image. Finally, the coating can be etched to form a black matrix.

[0467] When using a photosensitive coloring resin composition for a black matrix, a coloring resin composition containing a black colorant is used to form the black matrix. For example, a coloring resin composition containing one or more black colorants such as carbon black, graphite, iron black, aniline black, Cyanine Black, and titanium black, or a black colorant obtained by mixing appropriately selected red, green, and blue pigments or dyes from inorganic or organic sources, can be used to form a black matrix by operating in the same manner as the method for forming red, green, and blue pixels described later.

[0468] [3-3] Pixel Formation Process

[0469] The pixel forming process includes a coating process of coating the aforementioned coloring resin composition onto a substrate and a pre-baking process of pre-baking the coating film obtained in the aforementioned coating process.

[0470] In the pixel formation process, the process may involve, for example, coating a coloring resin composition of one of the colors red, green, and blue onto a substrate having a black matrix; a pre-baking process to dry (pre-baked) the resulting coating; an exposure process to overlay a photomask on the coating and expose the image through the photomask; and a development process. Pixels are then formed by thermal curing or photocuring as needed. By performing these processes separately on the coloring resin compositions of the three colors—red, green, and blue—a color filter image can be formed.

[0471] The coloring resin composition of the present invention is preferably used in the form of a composition for forming green or blue pixels (resist patterns) among red, green, and blue pixels, and more preferably in the form of a composition for forming green pixels. For example, using the composition for forming green or blue pixels (resist patterns), pixels are formed by coating, drying (pre-baking), image exposure, development, and thermal or photocuring processes on a resin black matrix forming surface formed on a substrate or a metallic black matrix forming surface formed using a light-shielding metal material such as a chromium compound.

[0472] [3-4] Coating process

[0473] The coloring resin composition can be coated onto the substrate by methods such as spin coating, wire rod coating, flow coating, mold coating, roller coating, and spray coating. Among these methods, mold coating can significantly reduce the amount of coloring resin composition used, and it completely eliminates the effects of mist or other contaminants that occur with spin coating. Furthermore, the generation of foreign matter is suppressed, making it the preferred method from a comprehensive viewpoint.

[0474] When the coating thickness is too thick, pattern development becomes difficult, and gap adjustment is sometimes difficult during the liquid crystal cell forming process. On the other hand, when the coating thickness is too thin, it is difficult to increase the pigment concentration, and sometimes the desired color cannot be achieved. The coating thickness, measured as the dried film thickness, is preferably 0.2 μm or more, more preferably 0.5 μm or more, and even more preferably 0.8 μm or more. It is also preferably 20 μm or less, more preferably 10 μm or less, and even more preferably 5 μm or less. For example, 0.2 to 20 μm is preferred, more preferably 0.5 to 10 μm, and even more preferably 0.8 to 5 μm.

[0475] [3-5] Pre-baking process

[0476] The drying (pre-baking) of the coating film obtained in the coating process is preferably based on a drying method using a hot plate, an IR oven, or a convection oven. Preferably, after pre-drying, the film is reheated for pre-baking. The pre-drying conditions can be appropriately selected based on the type of solvent component and the performance of the dryer used. The drying temperature and drying time are selected based on the type of solvent component and the performance of the dryer used. Specifically, the drying temperature is preferably 40°C or higher, more preferably 50°C or higher, and preferably 80°C or lower, more preferably 70°C or lower; the drying time is preferably 15 seconds or higher, more preferably 30 seconds or higher, and preferably 5 minutes or lower, more preferably 3 minutes or lower.

[0477] The pre-baking temperature is preferably higher than the pre-drying temperature. Specifically, this is 80°C or higher, more preferably 90°C or higher, particularly preferably 100°C or higher, and further preferably 200°C or lower, more preferably 160°C or lower, and particularly preferably 130°C or lower. Setting the temperature above the aforementioned lower limit tends to increase the dissolution rate, while setting it below the aforementioned upper limit tends to cause the binder resin to decompose, induce thermal polymerization, and result in poor development. The aforementioned upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily; for example, the pre-baking temperature is preferably 80~200°C, more preferably 90~130°C, and particularly preferably 100~130°C.

[0478] The drying time for pre-baking also depends on the heating temperature, preferably 10 seconds or more, more preferably 15 seconds or more, and preferably 10 minutes or less, more preferably 5 minutes or less.

[0479] [3-6] Exposure process

[0480] In the pixel formation process, it is preferable to have an exposure process after the pre-baking process.

[0481] The exposure process involves overlaying a negative matrix pattern onto a coating obtained through a pre-baking process, and then irradiating it with an ultraviolet or visible light source through the mask pattern. To prevent a decrease in the sensitivity of the photopolymerizable layer caused by oxygen, an oxygen-blocking layer, such as a polyvinyl alcohol layer, can be formed on the photopolymerizable layer before exposure, if necessary. There are no particular limitations on the light source used in the above exposure. Examples of light sources include: xenon lamps, halogen lamps, tungsten lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, medium-pressure mercury lamps, low-pressure mercury lamps, carbon arc lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc.; and laser sources such as argon ion lasers, YAG lasers, excimer lasers, nitrogen lasers, helium-cadmium lasers, semiconductor lasers, etc. When using light of a specific wavelength for irradiation, a filter can also be used.

[0482] [3-7] Developing process

[0483] In the pixel formation process, it is preferable to have a development process after the exposure process.

[0484] After the coating obtained using the coloring resin composition of the present invention is exposed through the above exposure process, an image can be formed on the substrate by a development process using an aqueous solution containing a surfactant and an alkaline compound, thereby manufacturing the coating.

[0485] The aqueous solution may also contain organic solvents, buffers, complexing agents, dyes, or pigments.

[0486] Examples of basic compounds include inorganic basic compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, sodium metasilicate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and ammonium hydroxide; and organic basic compounds such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine or triethanolamine, monomethylamine, dimethylamine or trimethylamine, monoethylamine, diethylamine or triethylamine, monoisopropylamine or diisopropylamine, n-butylamine, monoisopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine or triisopropanolamine, ethyleneimine, ethylenediimine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), and choline. These basic compounds can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0487] Examples of surfactants include nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl esters, sorbitol alkyl esters, and monoglyceride alkyl esters; anionic surfactants such as alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, and sulfosuccinates; and amphoteric surfactants such as alkyl betaines and amino acids.

[0488] Examples of organic solvents include isopropanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, phenyl cellosolve, propylene glycol, and diacetone alcohol. Organic solvents can be used in combination with aqueous solutions.

[0489] The developing conditions are not particularly limited, but the developing temperature is preferably 10°C or higher, more preferably 15°C or higher, and even more preferably 20°C or higher. Furthermore, it is preferably 50°C or lower, more preferably 45°C or lower, and even more preferably 40°C or lower. For example, it is preferably 10-50°C, more preferably 15-45°C, and even more preferably 20-40°C. The developing method can be based on any of the following: immersion developing, spray developing, brush developing, ultrasonic developing, etc.

[0490] [3-7] Thermosetting process

[0491] In the pixel formation process, it is also preferable to have a thermal curing process after the developing process. Regarding the thermal curing conditions in the thermal curing process, the temperature is preferably 100°C or higher, more preferably 150°C or higher, and preferably 280°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower; the time is preferably 5 minutes or higher, and preferably 60 minutes or lower.

[0492] After the pixel formation process described above, the patterning of one color's pixels is complete. This process is repeated sequentially to pattern black, red, green, and blue, enabling the creation of a color filter. It should be noted that the patterning order of the four colors is not limited to the order described above.

[0493] [3-8] Formation of transparent electrodes

[0494] The color filter of this invention can form transparent electrodes such as ITO on the image in such a state that it can be used as part of a color display, liquid crystal display device, etc. However, in order to improve surface smoothness and durability, a surface coating such as polyamide or polyimide can also be provided on the image as needed. In addition, in some applications such as planar orientation type driving mode (IPS mode), transparent electrodes are sometimes not formed.

[0495] [4] Image display device (panel)

[0496] The image display device of the present invention has a color filter manufactured by the method of the present invention.

[0497] The following is a detailed description of liquid crystal display devices and organic EL display devices as image display devices.

[0498] [4-1] Liquid Crystal Display Device

[0499] The manufacturing method of the liquid crystal display device of the present invention will be described. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is generally manufactured as follows: an alignment film is formed on a color filter manufactured by the method of the present invention, spacers are arranged on the alignment film, and it is then bonded to a counter substrate to form a liquid crystal cell. Liquid crystal is injected into the formed liquid crystal cell and connected to a counter electrode. The alignment film is preferably a resin film such as polyimide. When forming the alignment film, gravure printing and / or flexographic printing are typically used, and the thickness of the alignment film is set to several tens of nm. After curing the alignment film by thermal firing, surface treatment is performed by ultraviolet irradiation or by using a rubbing cloth to process it into a surface state that allows adjustment of the tilt of the liquid crystal.

[0500] The spacers can be spacers whose size corresponds to the gap between the opposing substrates, typically 2~8μm. Alternatively, photosensitive spacers (PS) made of transparent resin film can be formed on the color filter substrate using photolithography and used instead of spacers. As the opposing substrate, array substrates are commonly used, and TFT (thin-film transistor) substrates are particularly suitable.

[0501] The gap between the liquid crystal display cell and the opposing substrate varies depending on the application of the liquid crystal display device, and is preferably selected in the range of 2 μm or more and 8 μm or less. After bonding with the opposing substrate, the portion other than the liquid crystal injection port is sealed with a sealing material such as epoxy resin. The sealing material is cured by UV irradiation and / or heating, and the area around the liquid crystal cell is sealed.

[0502] The sealed liquid crystal cell is cut into panel units and then depressurized within a vacuum chamber. The liquid crystal injection port is immersed in liquid crystal, which then leaks into the chamber, thereby injecting the liquid crystal into the liquid crystal cell. The depressurization rate within the liquid crystal cell is preferably 1×10⁻⁶. -2 Pa or less, more preferably 1×10 Pa -3 Below Pa, and preferably 1×10 -7 Pa or higher, more preferably 1×10 Pa -6 The range is above Pa. For example, 1×10 Pa is preferred. -7 ~1×10 -2 Pa, more preferably 1×10 -6 ~1×10 -3 Pa.

[0503] Furthermore, it is preferable to heat the liquid crystal cell during decompression, and the heating temperature is preferably 30°C or higher, more preferably 50°C or higher, and preferably 100°C or lower, more preferably 90°C or lower. For example, 30~100°C is preferred, and 50~90°C is more preferred.

[0504] The temperature rise and hold during decompression is preferably set within a range of 10 minutes to 60 minutes, followed by immersion in liquid crystal. The liquid crystal cell filled with liquid crystal is then sealed by curing a UV-curable resin, thereby completing the liquid crystal display device (panel).

[0505] There are no particular limitations on the type of liquid crystal. It can be any of the known liquid crystals such as aromatic liquid crystals, aliphatic liquid crystals, and polycyclic compounds, or any of the lyotropic liquid crystals and thermotropic liquid crystals.

[0506] As thermotropic liquid crystals, nematic liquid crystals, smectic liquid crystals, and cholesteric liquid crystals are known, and any of them can be used.

[0507] [4-2] Organic EL display device

[0508] When manufacturing an organic EL display device having a color filter produced by the method of the present invention, for example, as... Figure 1 As shown, a pixel 20 is formed on a transparent support substrate 10 using the coloring resin composition of the present invention, and an organic light emitter 500 is stacked on the blue color filter on which the pixel 20 is formed, with an organic protective layer 30 and an inorganic oxide film 40 in between, thereby producing a multi-colored organic EL element.

[0509] Examples of stacking methods for the organic light-emitting element 500 include: sequentially forming a transparent anode 50, a hole injection layer 51, a hole transport layer 52, a light-emitting layer 53, an electron injection layer 54, and a cathode 55 on the upper surface of a color filter; and attaching the organic light-emitting element 500 formed on another substrate to an inorganic oxide film 40. The organic EL element 100 fabricated in this way can be used in both passive-drive and active-drive organic EL display devices.

[0555] It should be noted that in coloring resin compositions 1 to 8, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) are used as solvents, with the total solid content of the coloring resin composition being 15% by mass, and the mixing ratio (mass ratio) of PGMEA / PGME in the resulting coloring resin composition is 90 / 10.

[0558] Evaluation of Spectral Variation

[0559] The obtained coloring resin composition was coated onto a 50 mm square, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (manufactured by AGC, AN100) using a spin coating method, with a film thickness of 2.0 μm after thermosetting (firing). After depressurization and drying, the substrate was pre-baked on a hot plate at the temperature described in Table 3 for 90 seconds to produce a colored substrate. Alternatively, the same method was used to perform depressurization drying followed by thermosetting at 230°C for 20 minutes in a clean oven to produce a fired colored substrate.

[0560] For both the obtained colored substrate and the sintered colored substrate, a Hitachi U-3310 spectrophotometer was used to measure the spectrophotometer at 1 nm intervals from 380 nm to 780 nm, and the results were converted into absorption spectra. The absorbance value at wavelength n in the absorption spectrum of the colored substrate was designated as A. n The same value for the colored substrate after firing is set as A0. n At this point, the spectral variation is defined by the following mathematical formula as an indicator of the difference in the absorption spectrum of the colored substrate compared with the sintered substrate. The calculated spectral variation is shown in Table 3. The smaller the spectral variation in the following mathematical formula, the more the phthalocyanine compound (1) forms an association during pre-baking, and the closer it is to the state after sintering and complete formation of the association.

[0561]

[0562] <Evaluation of dissolution rate>

[0563] The above-mentioned colored substrate was developed using a 0.04% by mass potassium hydroxide aqueous solution at a developer temperature of 23°C. The time until complete dissolution was measured and is shown in Table 3.

[0564] <Evaluation of Fit>

[0565] The obtained colored resin composition was spin-coated onto a 50 mm square, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (AN100, manufactured by AGC) to a thickness of 2.0 μm after thermosetting (firing), and pre-baked at 100°C for 90 seconds. Then, it was heated using a 2 kW high-pressure mercury lamp at 40 mJ / cm². 2 Exposure, 30mW / cm 2 Exposure was performed using an exposure mask with multiple straight openings ranging from 1 to 50 μm in width, under appropriate illuminance. Subsequently, development was carried out for 60 seconds using a 0.04% (w / w) potassium hydroxide aqueous solution at a developer temperature of 23°C. Following this, development was performed at 1 kg / cm². 2 The substrate was subjected to a 10-second spray water wash under high water pressure. Subsequently, it was heat-cured at 230°C for 20 minutes to create a patterned substrate. Using an optical microscope, the patterns corresponding to multiple straight openings with widths ranging from 1 to 50 μm were observed. Among the patterns that remained after development, those with opening widths of 7 μm or less were designated as A, those exceeding 7 μm but less than 15 μm were designated as B, and those exceeding 15 μm were designated as C. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0566] The narrower the opening, the better the adhesion between the cured coloring resin composition and the substrate.

[0567] <Evaluation of Contrast Ratio>

[0568] The obtained colored resin composition was spin-coated onto a 50 mm square, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (AN100, manufactured by AGC) to a thickness of 2.0 μm after thermosetting (firing), and pre-baked at 100°C for 90 seconds. Then, it was heated using a 2 kW high-pressure mercury lamp at 40 mJ / cm². 2 Exposure, 30mW / cm 2 The substrate for contrast evaluation is prepared by exposing it to the illuminance and then performing a heat curing process at 230°C for 20 minutes.

[0569] Using a CT-1 contrast ratio meter (manufactured by Tsubosaka Electric Co., Ltd.), orthogonal parallelism was measured on the obtained substrate, and the contrast ratio (1:12000) was calculated in the form of parallel / orthogonal. A contrast ratio of 6000 or higher was designated as A, 4000 or higher but less than 6000 as B, and less than 4000 as C. The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.

[0570] <Residue Review>

[0571] Patterned substrates were fabricated in the same manner as those used for the fit evaluation, and the patterns corresponding to the straight openings with a width of 50 μm were observed using an optical microscope.

[0572] Case A is defined as no residue observed in the opening; case B is defined as slight residue observed in the opening but not a practical problem; and case C is defined as residue observed in the opening. The evaluation results are shown in Table 4.

[0575] [Table 4]

[0576]

[0577] Table 3 clearly shows that as the proportion of phthalocyanine compound (1) in colorant (A) increases, the spectral change at lower pre-baking temperatures decreases. In other words, the higher the proportion of phthalocyanine compound (1) in colorant (A), the lower the pre-baking temperature required for phthalocyanine compound (1) to form an associative compound. In particular, it can be seen that in Comparative Example 2, the spectral change value was also slightly larger at a pre-baking temperature of 105°C, indicating that phthalocyanine compound (1) did not completely form an associative compound. This can be attributed to the fact that colorant (A) contains colorants other than phthalocyanine compound (1), which hinder the association of phthalocyanine compound (1) with each other through π-π stacking of aromatic rings contained in its structure. In addition, the dissolution rate also shows the same tendency; as the proportion of phthalocyanine compound (1) in colorant (A) increases, the pre-baking temperature at which the dissolution rate reaches a constant decreases when the pre-baking temperature is gradually increased from 80°C. This can be attributed to the fact that, since the phthalocyanine compound (1) forms an associative complex, the complex is formed by wrapping around the alkali-soluble resin (C) contained in the coloring resin composition, and the dissolution rate is faster compared to the case of the phthalocyanine compound (1) alone.

[0578] Because the coloring resin composition dissolves faster, a shorter development time is sufficient. Furthermore, the ability to accelerate the dissolution rate at a lower pre-baking temperature helps improve the production efficiency of color filters, etc. It can also be argued that because of the rapid dissolution rate, the solubility of (C) alkali-soluble resin is relatively reduced, thus making the pattern less prone to peeling during development and improving adhesion.

[0579] According to the comparison between Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in Table 4, it is clear that: (A) When the content of phthalocyanine compound (1) in the colorant is 65% by mass or more, the residue and contrast are significantly improved. This can be attributed to the fact that: as the content of phthalocyanine compound (1) increases, the association between phthalocyanine compounds (1) is less likely to be hindered by other colorants, and the formation of regular associative aggregates of phthalocyanine compounds (1) occurs, thereby increasing the contrast. In addition, the dissolution rate is faster due to the formation of regular associative aggregates of phthalocyanine compounds (1).

[0580] Furthermore, as clearly shown in Comparative Examples 4 and 5 of Table 4, when using phthalocyanine compound B, which is not a phthalocyanine compound (1), the residue and contrast are poor regardless of the proportion of phthalocyanine compound B in the colorant (A). It can be assumed that the chlorine atom occupies a larger volume than the fluorine atom, hindering the formation of regularized associative aggregates of phthalocyanine compounds, thus failing to improve contrast and dissolution rate.

[0581] The present invention has been described in detail using specific methods, but various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the intent and scope of the invention, which is self-evident to those skilled in the art.
