Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix, a resist composition for a black matrix, and a black matrix. [Background technology]

[0002] In image display devices using liquid crystal or plasma, etc., a light-shielding film (black matrix) is provided in the gaps between colored patterns within the display area of ​​the screen, around the edges of the display area, and in liquid crystal displays using TFTs, on the external light side of the TFT. In LCD displays, it mainly prevents light leakage from the backlight from appearing on the screen, and in plasma displays, it mainly prevents blurring caused by the mixing of various colored lights from appearing on the screen, thereby improving display characteristics (contrast and color purity).

[0003] For example, color filters used to convert the white light of a backlight in a liquid crystal display device into colored light are usually manufactured by forming pixels of different hues, red, green and blue, in sequence in a striped or mosaic pattern on the surface of a transparent substrate, such as glass or a plastic sheet, on which a black matrix has been formed.

[0004] Similarly, in touch panels that combine image display devices and position input devices, color filters with black matrices formed as light-shielding films are also used, and up until now, they have generally been formed on the opposite side of the cover glass to the sensor substrate. However, as the demand for lighter touch panels increases, progress is being made in the development of technology to simultaneously form the light-shielding film and touch sensor on the same side of the cover glass in order to achieve even lighter weight.

[0005] As a method for forming such a black matrix, for example, a photolithography method using a pigment (pigment method) is used. In such a pigment method, a sulfonic acid derivative of copper phthalocyanine is sometimes used to improve the dispersibility of the pigment.

[0006] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pigment dispersion composition for black matrices, which is characterized in that carbon black having an oil absorption in the range of 10 to 150 ml / 100 g and a pH of more than 9, a basic group-containing urethane-based polymer pigment dispersant having a polyester chain, and a phthalocyanine derivative having a sulfonic acid group as an acid group-containing pigment derivative are dispersed in a solvent.

[0007] The black matrix requires adhesion to the substrate. However, in Patent Document 1, sufficient consideration was not given to adhesion, and there was room for further improvement. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2008 / 066100 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix, which is capable of forming a black matrix having excellent adhesion to a substrate. [Means for solving the problem]

The sulfonated copper phthalocyanine preferably has 0.5 to 3 sulfonic acid groups in the molecule. The black colorant preferably contains carbon black. The carbon black is preferably acidic carbon black. The present invention also relates to a resist composition for a black matrix obtained from the above-mentioned pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix. The present invention also relates to a black matrix formed from the above-mentioned black matrix resist composition. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix, which is capable of forming a black matrix having excellent adhesion to a substrate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] <Pigment dispersion composition for black matrix> The pigment dispersion composition for black matrix of the present invention contains a black colorant, a sulfonated copper phthalocyanine, and an amine compound, and the amine compound is at least one selected from the following (A) to (D). (A) Amine compound having a pyridine skeleton (B) Amine compound having an aniline skeleton (C) Amine compound having a carbazole skeleton (D) Amine compounds having a linear alkyl group with 8 or more carbon atoms and a total of 20 or less carbon atoms

[0014] (Black colorant) The pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention contains a black colorant. The black colorant preferably contains carbon black, and from the viewpoint of imparting a suitable surface resistivity, the carbon black is more preferably acidic carbon black. The carbon black preferably has an average primary particle diameter of 20 to 60 nm, and more preferably is neutral carbon black with an average primary particle diameter of 20 to 60 nm and / or acidic carbon black with an average primary particle diameter of 20 to 60 nm. When the primary particle size of the black colorant is smaller than 20 nm or larger than 60 nm, the light-shielding property may be insufficient and the storage stability may be poor. The above average primary particle size is an arithmetic mean diameter value determined by observation with an electron microscope.

[0015] From the viewpoint of imparting a suitable surface resistivity, the black colorant preferably contains only acidic carbon black. On the other hand, when the neutral carbon black and the acidic carbon black are used in combination, the neutral carbon black preferably accounts for 85 mass% or less, and more preferably 75 mass% or less, of the total mass of the neutral carbon black and the acidic carbon black. If the neutral carbon black content in the carbon black is more than 85% by mass, the seal strength may decrease.

[0016] The above-mentioned acidic carbon black and neutral carbon black will now be described. Carbon black can be broadly classified into acidic carbon black and neutral carbon black based on the surface structure. Acidic carbon black is a carbonaceous material that is naturally or artificially oxidized and exhibits acidity when mixed and boiled with distilled water. On the other hand, neutral carbon black is known to exhibit a neutral or higher pH when mixed and boiled with distilled water.

[0017] The neutral carbon black preferably has a pH in the range of 8.0 to 10.0. Specific examples include Printex 25 (average primary particle diameter 56 nm, pH 9.5), Printex 35 (average primary particle diameter 31 nm, pH 9.5), Printex 65 (average primary particle diameter 21 nm, pH 9.5), manufactured by Orion Engineered Carbons, and MA#20 (average primary particle diameter 40 nm, pH 8.0), MA#40 (average primary particle diameter 40 nm, pH 8.0), MA#30 (average primary particle diameter 30 nm, pH 8.0), manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.

[0018] The acidic carbon black preferably has a pH in the range of 2.0 to 4.0. Specific examples of the acidic carbon black include Raven 1080 (average primary particle size 28 nm, pH 2.4) and Raven 1100 (average primary particle size 32 nm, pH 2.9) manufactured by Columbia Chemicals, MA-8 (average primary particle size 24 nm, pH 3.0) and MA-100 (average primary particle size 22 nm, pH 3.5) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical, Special Black 250 (average primary particle size 56 nm, pH 3.0), Special Black 350 (average primary particle size 31 nm, pH 3.0), Special Black 550 (average primary particle size 25 nm, pH 4.0), and NEROX 305 (average primary particle size about 28 nm, pH about 2.8) manufactured by Orion Engineered Carbons, and the like.

[0019] As the black colorant, from the viewpoint of providing favorable pigment dispersibility and surface resistance value, Special Black 250 or NEROX305 is preferable.

[0020] The pH can be measured by adding 1 g of carbon black to 20 ml of decarbonated distilled water (pH 7.0) and mixing with a magnetic stirrer to prepare an aqueous suspension, and using a glass electrode at 25°C (German Industrial Standard DIN ISO 787 / 9).

[0021] The content of the black colorant is preferably from 3 to 70% by mass, and more preferably from 10 to 50% by mass, as a mass fraction relative to the total solid content of the pigment dispersion composition for black matrix of the present invention. If the content of the black colorant is less than 3% by mass, the light blocking properties may be reduced when a black matrix is ​​formed, whereas if it exceeds 70% by mass, it may become difficult to disperse the pigment.

[0022] (Sulfonated copper phthalocyanine) The pigment dispersion composition for black matrix of the present invention contains a sulfonated copper phthalocyanine. In the process of microparticulating or dispersing the black colorant, the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine has an effect of improving the microparticulation of the black colorant during dispersion and the dispersion stability after dispersion, because the basic skeleton portion is adsorbed to the pigment surface and the sulfonic acid group increases the affinity with the organic solvent or pigment dispersant.

[0023] The copper phthalocyanine in the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine is not particularly limited as long as it has a structure having a copper phthalocyanine skeleton. For example, the copper phthalocyanine skeleton may have a known substituent such as an alkyl group or a halogen atom. From the viewpoint of ease of introduction of a sulfonic acid group, however, a structure having no substituent is preferable.

[0024] The sulfonated copper phthalocyanine preferably has 0.5 to 3 sulfonic acid groups in the molecule. In this way, by having 0.5 to 3 sulfonic acid groups in the molecule, it is possible to obtain a composition for a black matrix that can give a coating film with excellent adhesion. The sulfonated copper phthalocyanine more preferably has 0.7 to 2.5 sulfonic acid groups in the molecule, and further preferably has 0.9 to 2.0 sulfonic acid groups. The number of sulfonic acid groups in the molecule can be calculated based on the ratio of sulfur atoms to copper atoms obtained by elemental analysis.

[0025] As the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine, commercially available products may be used, such as Solsperse 12000 (both manufactured by Lubrizol Japan), desodium VALIFAST BLUE 1605 (manufactured by Orient Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.), and TURQUOISE EC-GN (manufactured by Huntsman Chemical).

[0026] The content of the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine is preferably from 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, and more preferably from 1 to 15 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the black colorant.

[0027] (Amine compounds) The pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention contains an amine compound. The amine compound is at least one selected from the following (A) to (D). (A) Amine compound having a pyridine skeleton (B) Amine compound having an aniline skeleton (C) Amine compound having a carbazole skeleton (D) Amine compounds having a linear alkyl group with 8 or more carbon atoms and a total of 20 or less carbon atoms It is believed that the inclusion of such an amine compound contributes to uniform coating film formation and, in turn, adhesion due to the sensitizing effect of the skeleton of each amine compound in (A) to (C) and due to the compatibility with the binder resin resulting from the appropriate carbon number of the alkyl group in (D). In addition, when acidic carbon black is used as the black colorant, a black matrix with excellent surface resistance can be formed due to the sensitizing effect of the skeleton of the amine compound. However, the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the above mechanism.

[0028] The amine compound having a pyridine skeleton may be, in addition to pyridine, an amine compound having a pyridine skeleton with an alkyl group or an amino group. Specific examples thereof include alkylpyridines such as 2-methylpyridine (2-picoline), 3-methylpyridine (3-picoline), 4-methylpyridine (4-picoline), 2-ethylpyridine, 3-ethylpyridine, 4-ethylpyridine, 2,4-dimethylpyridine, 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine, and 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine; 3,4-cyclopentenopyridine, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinoline, isoquinoline, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline, quinoline, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine, 4-aminopyridine, 4-(3-phenylpropyl)pyridine, nicotinic acid, and isonicotinic acid. Of these, pyridine and 4-(3-phenylpropyl)pyridine are preferred.

[0033] The amount of the amine compound is preferably 5 to 100 parts by mass, and more preferably 20 to 60 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the sulfonated copper phthalocyanine.

[0034] (Organic solvent) The pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention preferably contains an organic solvent. As the organic solvent, organic solvents that have been conventionally used in the field of liquid crystal black matrix resists can be suitably used.

If a large amount of an organic solvent having a boiling point exceeding 250°C is contained, when a coating film formed by applying the resist composition for a black matrix obtained from the pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention is prebaked, the organic solvent may not evaporate sufficiently and remain in the dried coating film, which may result in a decrease in heat resistance of the dried coating film. Furthermore, if the composition contains a large amount of the organic solvent having a boiling point of less than 100° C., it may become difficult to apply the composition uniformly without unevenness, and a coating film having excellent surface smoothness may not be obtained.

[0061] The block copolymer is not particularly limited, and can be one that has been used in the past.Specific examples of the block copolymer include copolymers of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a carboxyl group, such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected from the group of monomers and oligomers such as styrene, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, allyl acrylate, allyl methacrylate, benzyl acrylate, benzyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, glycerol monoacrylate, glycerol methacrylate, N-phenylmaleimide, polystyrene macromonomer, polymethyl methacrylate macromonomer, and carboepoxy diacrylate that can be copolymerized with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a carboxyl group, and oligomers. However, it is preferable not to use N-vinylpyrrolidone or monomers containing sulfur element. As the block copolymer, a block resin synthesized by living radical polymerization or anionic polymerization can be used. A portion of the block portions of the block copolymer may be composed of a random copolymer.

[0062] As the alkali-soluble resin, an alkali-soluble cardo resin can also be used. Examples of the alkali-soluble cardo resin include epoxy (meth)acrylate acid adducts having a fluorene skeleton, which are addition products of fluorene epoxy (meth)acrylic acid derivatives and dicarboxylic acid anhydrides and / or tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides. The alkali-soluble resin may also have a photopolymerizable functional group.

[0063] The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably from 5 to 300 mgKOH / g, more preferably from 5 to 250 mgKOH / g, further preferably from 10 to 200 mgKOH / g, and particularly preferably from 60 to 150 mgKOH / g, from the viewpoint of development characteristics. In this specification, the acid value is a theoretical acid value, which is a value calculated arithmetically based on the amount of ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a carboxyl group and its content.

[0064] The weight average molecular weight of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably from 1,000 to 100,000, more preferably from 3,000 to 50,000, and even more preferably from 5,000 to 30,000, from the viewpoints of development characteristics and solubility in organic solvents. In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight is a polystyrene-equivalent weight average molecular weight obtained based on GPC. In this specification, the weight average molecular weight is measured using a Water2690 (manufactured by Waters Corporation) as an apparatus and a PLgel 5 μm MIXED-D (manufactured by Agilent Technologies Corporation) as a column.

[0065] The content of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably from 1 to 200 parts by mass, and more preferably from 10 to 150 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the black colorant. In this case, if the content of the alkali-soluble resin is less than 1 part by mass, the development characteristics may deteriorate, whereas if the content of the alkali-soluble resin exceeds 200 parts by mass, the concentration of the black colorant decreases relatively, making it difficult to achieve the desired color density as a thin film.

[0066] The alkali-soluble resin preferably does not contain any primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group, and further preferably does not contain any quaternary ammonium group, and more preferably does not contain any basic group. Incidentally, an alkali-soluble resin having a structure other than that of a block copolymer may be blended within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0067] (Organic solvent) As the organic solvent, any of the organic solvents described above in relation to the pigment dispersion composition for black matrix can be appropriately selected and used.

[0068] The content of the organic solvent is preferably from 1 to 40 mass %, and more preferably from 5 to 35 mass %, based on the total mass of the black matrix resist composition of the present invention.

[0069] (Other additives) In the black matrix resist composition of the present invention, various additives such as a thermal polymerization inhibitor, an ultraviolet absorber, and an antioxidant can be appropriately used as necessary.

[0070] (Method of manufacturing a resist composition for black matrix) As a method for producing the resist composition for a black matrix of the present invention, for example, the pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention is prepared, and then the remaining materials are added and stirred and mixed using a stirring device or the like. The method for stirring and mixing is not particularly limited, and known methods such as those using an ultrasonic disperser, a high-pressure emulsifier, a bead mill, a three-roll mill, a sand mill, and a kneader can be used. After the stirring and mixing, the mixture may be filtered through a filter. When preparing the resist composition for a black matrix of the present invention, the black colorant, the epoxy resin, the oxazine compound, and the like described in the pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix of the present invention may be added, if necessary.

[0071] <Black matrix> The black matrix of the present invention is formed from the black matrix resist composition of the present invention.

[0072] The method for forming the black matrix of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, the black matrix can be formed by applying the black matrix resist composition of the present invention onto a transparent substrate, drying the composition to form a coating film, placing a photomask on the coating film, and performing image exposure through the photomask, development, and, if necessary, photocuring, or the like.

[0073] Methods for applying, drying, exposing and developing the black matrix resist composition of the present invention can be appropriately selected from known methods. As the transparent substrate, a known transparent substrate such as a glass substrate or a plastic substrate can be appropriately selected and used.

[0074] The thickness of the coating film after drying is preferably 0.2 to 10 μm, more preferably 0.5 to 6 μm, and even more preferably 1 to 4 μm. By setting the thickness within the above range, a predetermined pattern can be suitably developed, and a predetermined optical density can be suitably imparted.

[0075] The black matrix of the present invention is applied to a glass substrate (EAGLE XG) using a spin coater to a thickness of 1 μm, prebaked at 100° C. for 3 minutes, and then exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp (UV integrated light amount 80 mJ / cm 2 ) and then post-baked at 230°C for 60 minutes to produce a black resist pattern consisting of only the solid areas. The surface resistance was 2.0×10 8 Ω / □ or more is preferable, 5.0×10 8 Ω / □ or more is preferable, and 1.0×10 9 More preferably, it is Ω / □ or more. The surface resistance is 2.0×10 8 If it is Ω / □ or more, short circuits and current leakage can be suitably prevented. The surface resistance value can be measured using a microammeter R8340 (main body) and a shield box R12702A (optional) (both manufactured by Advance Co., Ltd.).

[0076] The black matrix of the present invention is applied to a glass substrate (EAGLE XG) using a spin coater to a thickness of 1 μm, prebaked at 100° C. for 3 minutes, and then exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp (UV integrated light amount 40 mJ / cm 2 ), and then post-baked at 230°C for 60 minutes to produce a black resist pattern consisting only of solid areas. When the black resist pattern was attached to a stainless steel nail having a diameter of 1.6 mm via 50 mg of a sealant (trade name "XN-21S", manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) to produce a test specimen, the seal strength was 250 N / mm 2 More than 280N / mm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 300N / mm 2 More preferably, 320N / mm 2 The above is particularly preferred. The above seal strength is 250N / mm 2 If it is equal to or greater than this, it can be said that the adhesion to the substrate is sufficient. The above seal strength was calculated by pulling the test piece at a speed of 10 mm / min using a load measuring device (LTS-200N / 500N, manufactured by Minebea), measuring the maximum stress when the stainless steel nail peeled off from the test piece, and dividing the stress by the area of ​​the sealant coating to obtain the seal strength per unit area (N / mm 2 ) can be obtained.
