Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a curable composition, and an ink-jet ink, a cured film, a color filter, a solid-state imaging device, and an image display device each using the curable composition. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, a solventless inkjet recording method has been attracting attention, in which an ink that can be cured by irradiation with radiation such as ultraviolet light is applied to a desired material in an imagewise manner, and the applied ink is cured to record an image. In a curable composition used in an inkjet, it is important to ensure the dispersion stability of a colorant. If there is a problem with the dispersion stability, various problems occur, such as the deposition of aggregated foreign matter on a film and the deterioration of the ejection property of the inkjet ink. As a method for obtaining a stable inkjet ink, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a composition using a pigment derivative. Also, Patent Document 2 discloses an inkjet ink using a quinophthalone derivative. However, although the inkjet inks disclosed in these documents have dispersion stability, there is room for improvement in terms of ejection stability and rate of change in particle size over time.

Inorganic pigments are used in combination with organic pigments to ensure good coatability, sensitivity, developability, and the like while maintaining a good balance between saturation and brightness.
[0027] From the viewpoint of storage stability, the colorant (A) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of phthalocyanine pigments, isoindoline pigments, azo metal complex pigments, quinophthalone pigments, diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments, and anthraquinone pigments, and is particularly preferably a phthalocyanine pigment, an isoindoline pigment, an azo metal complex pigment, a quinophthalone pigment, or an anthraquinone pigment.
[0028] (Micronization of pigments) When the colorant (A) used in the curable composition of the present invention is a pigment, it is preferable to use it after it has been finely divided. The method of finely dividing is not particularly limited, and for example, any of wet grinding, dry grinding, and dissolution precipitation methods can be used. As exemplified in the present invention, it can be finely divided by carrying out salt milling treatment using a kneader method, which is a type of wet grinding. The average primary particle size of the pigment determined by TEM (transmission electron microscope) is preferably in the range of 5 to 90 nm. If it is smaller than 5 nm, dispersion becomes difficult, and if it is larger than 90 nm, the transmittance may decrease. For these reasons, the average primary particle size is more preferably in the range of 10 to 70 nm.
[0029] Salt milling is a process in which a mixture of a pigment, a water-soluble inorganic salt, and a water-soluble organic solvent is mechanically kneaded while being heated using a batch or continuous kneader such as a kneader, a two-roll mill, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, an attritor, a sand mill, or a planetary mixer, and then the water-soluble inorganic salt and the water-soluble organic solvent are removed by washing with water. The water-soluble inorganic salt acts as a crushing aid, and the pigment is crushed during salt milling by utilizing the high hardness of the inorganic salt. By optimizing the conditions for salt milling the pigment, it is possible to obtain a pigment with a very fine primary particle size, a narrow distribution width, and a sharp particle size distribution.
[0030] As the water-soluble inorganic salt, sodium chloride, barium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc. can be used, but sodium chloride (table salt) is preferred from the viewpoint of cost. From the viewpoints of both treatment efficiency and production efficiency, the water-soluble inorganic salt is preferably used in an amount of 50 to 2000 parts by weight, and most preferably 300 to 1000 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
[0031] The water-soluble organic solvent is a solvent that functions to wet the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt, and is not particularly limited as long as it dissolves (is miscible with) water and does not substantially dissolve the inorganic salt used. However, since the temperature rises during salt milling and the solvent becomes prone to evaporate, a high boiling point solvent with a boiling point of 120°C or more is preferable from the viewpoint of safety. For example, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-(isopentyloxy)ethanol, 2-(hexyloxy)ethanol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, liquid polyethylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, liquid polypropylene ...ethyl ether, liquid polypropylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol The water-soluble organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 5 to 1000 parts by weight, and most preferably 50 to 500 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
[0032] When the pigment is subjected to salt milling, a resin may be added as necessary. The type of resin used is not particularly limited, and natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, synthetic resins modified with natural resins, etc. can be used. The resin used is preferably solid at room temperature and insoluble in water, and more preferably partially soluble in the above organic solvents. The amount of the resin used is preferably in the range of 5 to 200 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
[0033] <Pigment derivatives> The curable composition of the present invention contains a pigment derivative (B1) represented by general formula (1) and a pigment derivative (B2) represented by general formula (2). The pigment derivative (B1) and the pigment derivative (B2) are pigment derivatives having a quinophthalone skeleton.
[0034] Most of the pigment derivative is adsorbed to the colorant (A), but some may be free in the composition without being adsorbed. Here, the pigment derivative (B1) having a sulfonic acid group and the pigment derivative (B2) having a sulfonic acid group and a carboxyl group have different acidities. It is presumed that by including two types of pigment derivatives (B1) and (B2) having different acidities, the pigment derivatives interact with each other, and less pigment derivative is released, resulting in a curable composition with good dischargeability and storage stability. Furthermore, since the pigment derivatives (B1) and (B2) have the same quinophthalone skeleton, the interaction is stronger than when two types of pigment derivatives with different skeletons are used, so it is presumed that there is less aggregated foreign matter and the rate of change in particle size over time is also smaller.
[0035] (Pigment derivatives (B1)) The pigment derivative (B1) contained in the curable composition of the present invention is represented by the following general formula (1).

[0080] The antioxidants can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
[0081] The content of the antioxidant is more preferably 0.5 to 5.0% by mass relative to 100% by mass of the solid content of the curable composition, since this leads to good transmittance and spectral characteristics.
[0082] <Surface conditioner> The curable composition of the present invention may contain a surface conditioner.

[0084] The content of the silicone surface conditioner is 0.1 to 5.0% by weight based on the total weight of the curable composition. The range of % by weight is preferable.

When preparing a colorant dispersion, two or more types of colorants may be dispersed simultaneously in a colorant carrier, or the colorants separately dispersed in colorant carriers may be mixed. When the solubility of a colorant such as a dye is high, specifically, when the solubility in the polymerizable compound (C) used is high, and the colorant is dissolved by stirring and no foreign matter is confirmed, it is not necessary to prepare the colorant dispersion by finely dispersing it as described above.

If a large amount of metal components including these specific metal atoms are present, the storage stability may be impaired, the heat resistance may be reduced, or the dischargeability may be deteriorated. In addition, a color filter produced using a curable composition containing a large amount of metal components containing such specific metal atoms may generate foreign matter, which may result in a decrease in transmittance. The total content of the specific metal atoms in the metal components contained in the curable composition of the present invention is preferably 1 to 1000 ppm by mass with respect to the entire curable composition.
[0092] <Average dispersed particle size> The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) of the particles in the curable composition is preferably from 10 to 300 nm, more preferably from 30 to 250 nm. If the particles have an appropriate particle size, a curable composition having high dispersion stability is easily obtained.
[0093] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) is measured, for example, using Nikkiso Microtrack UPA-EX150, which employs dynamic light scattering (FFT power spectrum method), with particle permeability set to absorption mode, particle shape set to non-spherical, and D50 particle size set to average size. The dilution solvent used for measurement is the same as that used for dispersion, and it is preferable to measure samples treated with ultrasound immediately after sample preparation, as this tends to give results with less variation.

[0096] The inkjet ink of the present invention is preferably adjusted to have a viscosity of 5 to 50 mPa·s at 25° C. If the viscosity is in this range, the inkjet ink has excellent discharge followability and stability.
[0097] <Printing method> The inkjet ink of the present invention has excellent curing properties and can be used in a single-pass printing method, which successively comprises, for example, an ink ejection mechanism having one or more inkjet heads, a mechanism for transporting the substrate on which the ink has landed at a desired speed, and a mechanism for curing the ink by irradiating it with active energy rays such as a UV lamp or electron beam.
[0098] The optimum ink film thickness is preferably from 2 μm to 30 μm, more preferably from 3 μm to 25 μm, and even more preferably from 4 μm to 20 μm. Within the above range, good color development and curing properties are obtained.

In addition, the ejection method may be an electro-mechanical conversion method. type (e.g., single cavity type, double cavity type, bender type, piston type, share mode type, shared wall type, etc.), electric-thermal conversion type (e.g., thermal inkjet type, bubble jet (registered trademark type, etc.), electrostatic attraction type (e.g., electric field Control type, slit jet type, discharge type (e.g. spark jet type, etc.) As a concrete example, any ejection method may be used.
[0100] Ink Droplet Size The volume of the ink droplets ejected from the inkjet head is within the range of 0.5 to 100 pL. From the viewpoint of reducing unevenness in coating and increasing the printing speed, it is preferable to set the range of 2 to 100%. More preferably, it is in the range of 20 pL.
[0101] <Printing method> There are two types of printing methods using inkjet printing: one-pass printing and multi-pass printing. One-pass printing is a method in which multiple inkjet heads are fixedly positioned in a specified printing area and printing is performed with one head scan. In contrast, multi-pass printing (also called the serial printing method) is a method in which a specified printing area is printed with multiple head scans.
[0102] In the one-pass printing method, it is preferable to use a wide head in which nozzles are arranged in a row over a width equal to or greater than the width of the desired coating pattern. When forming a plurality of independent coating patterns that are not continuous with each other on the same substrate, it is preferable to use a wide head in which nozzles are arranged in a row over a width equal to or greater than the width of each coating pattern. Simply use the wide head above.
[0103] The active energy rays for curing the inkjet ink may be any energy rays that can affect the electron orbit of the irradiated object and induce polymerization reactions of radicals, cations, anions, etc. Although not particularly limited, specific examples include electron beams, ultraviolet rays, and infrared rays. In the present invention, ultraviolet rays are preferably used.

[0106] <Manufacturing method for color filters> The color filter of the present invention can be produced by a printing method.
[0107] The formation of filter segments by printing method is excellent in terms of low cost and mass productivity as a method for producing color filters, since a pattern can be formed by printing a curable composition prepared as an inkjet ink. Furthermore, the development of printing technology has made it possible to print fine patterns with high dimensional accuracy and smoothness. In order to perform printing, it is preferable to use a composition that does not allow the ink to dry or solidify on the printing plate or blanket. In addition, control of the fluidity of the ink on the printing machine is also important, and the ink viscosity can be adjusted by using a dispersant or an extender pigment.
[0108] <Solid-state imaging element> The solid-state imaging element of the present invention has the color filter. The form used for the solid-state imaging element is not particularly limited, but for example, a substrate is provided with a plurality of photodiodes constituting a light receiving area of a solid-state imaging element (CCD image sensor, CMOS image sensor, etc.) and a transfer electrode made of polysilicon or the like, a light-shielding film having an opening only for the light receiving portion of the photodiode on the photodiode and the transfer electrode, a device protection film made of silicon nitride or the like formed on the light-shielding film so as to cover the entire light-shielding film and the light receiving portion of the photodiode, and a filter on the device protection film.

The filter may have a structure in which a cured film forming each color pixel is embedded in a space partitioned, for example, in a lattice shape by partition walls. In this case, the partition walls preferably have a low refractive index with respect to each color pixel. An imaging device including a solid-state imaging element of the present invention can be used for various purposes such as digital cameras, electronic devices with imaging functions (smartphones, tablet terminals, etc.), vehicle-mounted cameras, surveillance cameras, and optical sensors.
[0109] <Image display device> The image display device of the present invention has the above-mentioned color filter. Examples of the display device include a liquid crystal display and an organic EL display. The form of the display device is not particularly limited, and the display device can be used as a color filter, a black matrix, a light-shielding filter, an infrared cut filter, or an infrared transmission filter. The form of the image display device is not particularly limited as long as it functions as an image display device. For example, the configuration described in "Next Generation Liquid Crystal Display Technology" (by Tatsuo Uchida, published by Kogyo Chosakai Co., Ltd. in 1994) can be mentioned. The definition of image display devices and details of each image display device are described, for example, in "Electronic Display Devices" (written by Sasaki Akio, published by Kogyo Chosakai Co., Ltd. in 1990) and "Display Devices" (written by Ibuki Yoshiaki, published by Sangyo Tosho Co., Ltd. in 1989).
