Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive coloring composition that uses pulsed exposure to ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 250 nm or less. [Background technology]

[0002] Solid-state imaging devices such as CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) are used in smartphones, tablet terminals, and various sensors. Color filters having pixels formed using photosensitive coloring compositions are used in solid-state imaging devices. It is necessary to reduce the pixel size of color filters in order to increase the pixel count of solid-state imaging devices and improve image quality.

[0003] Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a photosensitive coloring composition containing CI Pigment Red 254, which uses light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less for photocuring. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2012-532334 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in conventional photosensitive coloring compositions, the color density decreases as the pixel thickness is reduced, while the method of increasing the concentration of the colorant results in a relatively small amount of photosensitive material and binder resin, which causes problems such as reduced developability, rectangularity of the pixel side surface, and adhesion to the base material (substrate).

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive coloring composition which has high developability, excellent rectangular shape and adhesion, and is capable of forming pixels with good color density. [Means for solving the problem]

Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a photosensitive coloring composition that has high developability, excellent rectangular shape and adhesion, and can form pixels with good color density. The present invention also provides a color filter, a solid-state imaging device, a liquid crystal display device, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a liquid crystal display device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] The terms used in this specification are defined below. When "(meth)acryloyl", "(meth)acrylic", "(meth)acrylic acid", "(meth)acrylate", or "(meth)acrylamide" is written, it means "acryloyl and / or methacryloyl", "acrylic and / or methacrylic", "acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid", "acrylate and / or methacrylate", or "acrylamide and / or methacrylamide", respectively, unless otherwise specified. "CI" in this specification means Color Index (CI). Colorants include pigments and dyes. EO is an abbreviation for ethyleneoxy, and PO is an abbreviation for propyleneoxy. A monomer is a compound that forms a resin by polymerization. A monomer is in an unreacted state, and a monomer unit is in a state in which a monomer forms a resin after polymerization.

[0012] The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is a photosensitive coloring composition used for a color filter that forms a pattern by pulse exposure to ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 250 nm or less, The composition includes a colorant (A), a resin-type dispersant (B), a binder resin (C), a polymerizable compound (D), and a photopolymerization initiator (E), The colorant (A) is characterized by containing a pigment (A1) represented by the following general formula (1) and a yellow colorant (A3).

[0013] The pigment (A1) represented by the general formula (1) used in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention has a higher coloring power than other diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments, so that good color density can be obtained without significantly increasing the concentration in the thin film pixel. In addition, since the colorant in the pixel is not significantly increased in concentration, it is not necessary to suppress the content of the binder resin and the polymerizable compound. As a result, even when forming fine pixels, it is possible to form pixels that have high developability, rectangularity, and excellent adhesion.

[0014] <Pulse exposure to ultraviolet light> Examples of ultraviolet light pulse exposure include excimer lasers that generate laser light using a mixture of rare gases such as argon, krypton, and xenon and halogen gases such as fluorine and chlorine. The oscillation wavelength varies depending on the combination of the types of the mixed gas, and includes 193 nm (ArF), 248 nm (KrF), 308 nm (XeCl), and 351 nm (XeF). Among these, the present invention prefers pulse exposure with an excimer laser with a wavelength of 248 nm (KrF). The excimer laser has a pulse width of several tens of ns, and the cross section of the beam reflects the shape of the discharge area, oscillating a rectangular beam with high output. There are also devices that can output pulse energy of up to several thousand mJ. Excimer lasers are more suitable for fields where a relatively large area is processed at once with high irradiation intensity than processing where the beam is concentrated at one point, and are used in the field of laser processing.

[0015] In general, an excimer laser is a laser that utilizes the radiation from excimer molecules that exist for a very short time when the mixed gas is excited, and the ground level of the excimer is in a dissociated state. Therefore, the ground molecular density is always zero, making it a very good laser medium, and it is possible to form pixels with excellent surface morphology.

[0016] As described above, the excimer laser is an excellent laser medium capable of forming filter segments with excellent surface morphology in a short time of a few tens of nanoseconds. However, matching with the composition to be cured is necessary. Depending on the combination of pigments, monomers having ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, and photopolymerization initiators that make up the composition, the polymerizable compound on the surface of the colored coating film on the side irradiated with the excimer laser cures instantaneously, while the curing of the inside of the coating film is somewhat delayed, and therefore the difference in curing speed can cause issues with the rectangularity of the pixels and adhesion to the substrate.

[0017] <Colorant (A)> The colorant (A) contains a pigment (A1) represented by the following general formula (1) and a yellow colorant (A3). General formula (1) [ka]

[0018] In general formula (1), R 1 each independently represents any one of a hydroxy group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkylthio group, an aryloxy group, an alkylamino group, and an amino group. Examples of the pigment (A1) represented by general formula (1) include the following (a1-1) to (a1-9). Among these, the compound represented by (a1-1) (CI Pigment Red 272) is preferred in terms of further improving coloring strength.

[0029] Examples of orange pigments include CI Pigment Orange 36, 38, 43, 64, 71, and 73.

[0030] Examples of the dye include acid dyes, direct dyes, basic dyes, salt-forming dyes, oil-soluble dyes, disperse dyes, reactive dyes, mordant dyes, vat dyes, sulfur dyes, etc. In addition, examples of the dye include dye derivatives and lake pigments obtained by converting dyes into lakes.

[0031] The dye is preferably used as a salt-forming compound. Examples of the salt-forming compound include a salt-forming compound of an acid dye and a quaternary ammonium salt compound, a tertiary amine compound, a secondary amine compound, or a primary amine compound; a salt-forming compound of a resin component having an amino group and an acid dye; a salt-forming compound of an acid dye and a compound having an onium base; a salt-forming compound of a basic dye and an organic acid, perchloric acid, or a metal salt thereof. Among these, the salt-forming compound of a basic dye is preferred because it has excellent resistance to various types of substances and compatibility with pigments. The compound having an onium base is preferably a resin having a cationic group in the side chain.

[0032] The chemical structure of the dye may be, for example, an azo dye, a disazo dye, an azomethine dye (such as an indoaniline dye or an indophenol dye), a dipyrromethene dye, a quinone dye (such as a benzoquinone dye, a naphthoquinone dye, anthraquinone dye, or anthrapyridone dye), a carbonium dye (such as a diphenylmethane dye, a triphenylmethane dye, a xanthene dye, or an acridine dye), a quinoneimine dye (such as an oxazine dye), or a quinoneimine dye (such as an oxazine dye). dyes, thiazine dyes, etc.), azine dyes, polymethine dyes (oxonol dyes, merocyanine dyes, arylidene dyes, styryl dyes, cyanine dyes, squarylium dyes, croconium dyes, etc.), quinophthalone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, subphthalocyanine dyes, perinone dyes, indigo dyes, thioindigo dyes, quinoline dyes, nitro dyes, nitroso dyes, rhodamine dyes, etc. Among these, from the viewpoint of color properties such as hue, color separation, and color unevenness, azo dyes, xanthene dyes, cyanine dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, anthraquinone dyes, dipyrromethene dyes, squarylium dyes, quinophthalone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, and subphthalocyanine dyes are preferred, and xanthene dyes, cyanine dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, anthraquinone dyes, dipyrromethene dyes, and phthalocyanine dyes are more preferred.

[0034] <Mixing pigments> Among colorants, organic pigments are preferably mixed with other raw materials after being subjected to a micronization treatment. Examples of the method of micronization treatment include wet grinding, dry grinding, and dissolution precipitation. Among these, salt milling treatment using a kneader method, which is a type of wet grinding, is preferable. The average primary particle size of the organic pigment after micronization treatment is preferably 10 to 80 nm, more preferably 15 to 70 nm. A moderate particle size improves dispersibility and the contrast ratio of the coating. The average primary particle size is the average value of about 20 particles arbitrarily selected from an enlarged image of a TEM (transmission electron microscope). When the particle has a vertical axis length and a horizontal axis length, the vertical axis length is used.

[0035] During the salt milling treatment, a resin can be added as necessary. Examples of the resin include natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, and synthetic resins modified with natural resins. The resin is preferably solid at room temperature and insoluble in water, and more preferably partially soluble in a water-soluble organic solvent. The amount of the resin used is preferably 5 to 200 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the pigment.

[0036] <Metal Removal> If a specific metal element is present in a large amount in the photosensitive coloring composition as an impurity other than the pigment constituent, it inhibits dispersion stability over time. In addition, it may cause a decrease in heat resistance or a decrease in sensitivity. In addition, a color filter made using this may have foreign matter, which may result in a decrease in brightness. The total content of Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Al, and Cr (hereinafter also referred to as specific metal elements) contained in the photosensitive coloring composition is preferably 500 mass ppm or less.

[0037] The total amount of the specific metal elements is more preferably 300 mass ppm or less, particularly preferably 200 mass ppm or less. The lower limit of the total amount of the specific metal elements is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mass ppm or more, more preferably 5 mass ppm or more. Within the above range, the photosensitive coloring composition can be obtained that can suppress costs, has excellent storage stability, and can form a color filter with little generation of foreign matter and little decrease in brightness.

[0038] The amount of each specific metal element contained in the photosensitive coloring composition is preferably 100 ppm by mass or less, and more preferably 50 ppm by mass or less.

[0039] In addition, since it is desired to suppress impurities that do not constitute the pigment, such as Ni, Zn, Cu, Al, Fe, Fe, Co, and Co, which constitute the pigment, they can be removed in the same manner as the specific metal elements, for example, by the following method. Furthermore, Mn, Cs, Ti, Co, Si, Pd, etc. may be mixed in from materials (for example, catalysts) used in the manufacturing process of various raw materials for the photosensitive coloring composition, so they are removed as much as possible.

[0040] Methods for removing the colorant (A) or metals that have become mixed in from equipment during the manufacturing process include the water washing methods described in JP-A-2010-83997, JP-A-2018-36521, JP-A-7-198928, JP-A-8-333521, JP-A-2009-7432, etc., and the method of removing magnetic foreign matter using a magnet described in JP-A-2011-48736.

[0041] The content of specific metal elements can be measured by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP).

[0042] <Dye derivatives> The photosensitive coloring composition may use a dye derivative as necessary. The dye derivative is a compound having an acidic group, a basic group, a neutral group, etc. in an organic dye residue. Examples of the dye derivative include compounds having an acidic substituent such as a sulfo group, a carboxy group, or a phosphoric acid group, as well as amine salts thereof, compounds having a basic substituent such as a sulfonamide group or a tertiary amino group at the terminal, and compounds having a neutral substituent such as a phenyl group or a phthalimidoalkyl group. Examples of organic pigments include diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments, anthraquinone pigments, quinacridone pigments, dioxazine pigments, perinone pigments, perylene pigments, thiazine indigo pigments, triazine pigments, benzimidazolone pigments, indole pigments such as benzoisoindole, isoindoline pigments, isoindolinone pigments, quinophthalone pigments, naphthol pigments, threne pigments, metal complex pigments, and azo pigments such as azo, disazo, and polyazo.

[0043] The dye derivatives can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0044] The content of the dye derivative is preferably from 1 to 100 parts by mass, more preferably from 3 to 70 parts by mass, and even more preferably from 5 to 50 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the pigment.

[0045] When a dye derivative is added to a pigment and a pigmentation treatment such as acid pasting, acid slurry, dry milling, salt milling, or solvent salt milling is performed, the dye derivative is adsorbed onto the pigment surface, and the primary particles of the pigment can be made finer than when the dye derivative is not added.

[0046] <Resin-type dispersant (B)> The resin type dispersant (B) is not particularly limited as long as it can disperse the colorant (A), but in this specification, a resin type dispersant having an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety is preferred. The aromatic carboxylic acid moiety has an aromatic ring that has a high affinity with the surface and a carboxyl group that is directly bonded to the aromatic ring. In addition, the resin type dispersant (B) preferably has a steric repulsion moiety to enhance dispersibility.

[0047] Examples of the resin type dispersant (B) include a resin type dispersant (B1) having an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety and a vinyl polymer moiety (hereinafter referred to as resin type dispersant (B1)), and a resin type dispersant (B2) having an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety and a lactone residue moiety (hereinafter referred to as resin type dispersant (B2)). Among these, the resin type dispersant (B1) is preferred. The vinyl polymer moiety is a steric repulsion moiety and can contain a (meth)acryloyl group or a thermal crosslinking group. This provides photocrosslinkability or thermal crosslinkability. The lactone residue moiety is also a steric repulsion moiety. The aromatic carboxylic acid moiety in the resin-type dispersant (B) with aromatic carboxylic acid moiety has a high affinity with the pigment surface, so it efficiently wraps around the pigment. This reduces the exposed surface area of ​​the pigment, making it less likely for the substrate and the pigment to come into direct contact, improving adhesion. In addition, the aromatic ring in the said moiety has a π-electron conjugated unsaturated ring structure that has a high absorption of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 250 nm or less, and it is speculated that the rectangularity is improved by suppressing the spread of ultraviolet light from the edge of the photomask.

[0048] <Resin-type dispersant (B1)> The resin-type dispersant (B1) is, for example, a resin-type dispersant described in WO2008 / 007776, JP2008-029901A, JP2009-155406A, JP2010-185934A, JP2011-157416A, JP2009-251481A, JP2007-23195A, JP1996-143651A, JP2007-140487A, or the like.

[0049] The aromatic carboxylic acid moiety is, for example, a compound derived from one or more acid anhydrides selected from tetracarboxylic acid anhydrides or tricarboxylic acid anhydrides.

[0050] The acid value of the resin-type dispersant (B1) is preferably from 10 to 250 mgKOH / g, more preferably from 40 to 200 mgKOH / g, and even more preferably from 50 to 160 mgKOH / g. A suitable acid value improves storage stability.

[0051] (Side chain that is a vinyl polymer moiety) The side chain of the resin type dispersant (B1) is synthesized by polymerizing a monomer in the presence of a compound having a thiol group. The compound having a thiol group is preferably a compound having two hydroxyl groups and one thiol group in the molecule. The resin type dispersant (B1) can be synthesized by a method of forming an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety after synthesizing a side chain that is a vinyl polymer moiety, or by a method of forming an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety after synthesizing a side chain that is a vinyl polymer moiety. In the former method, a vinyl polymer having two hydroxyl groups near one end can be formed. In the latter method, a compound having two hydroxyl groups and one thiol group in the molecule is used to synthesize an aromatic carboxylic acid moiety, and then a monomer is added and polymerized to form a vinyl polymer starting from the thiol group of the compound having two hydroxyl groups and one thiol group in the molecule.

[0052] Examples of compounds having two hydroxyl groups and one thiol group in the molecule include 1-mercapto-1,1-methanediol, 1-mercapto-1,1-ethanediol, 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (thioglycerin), 2-mercapto-1,2-propanediol, 2-mercapto-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-mercapto-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 1-mercapto-2,2-propanediol, 2-mercaptoethyl-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, and 2-mercaptoethyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol.

The upper limit of Tg is preferably 100°C.

[0054] The weight average molecular weight of the vinyl polymer portion of the resin-type dispersant (B1) is preferably from 500 to 30,000, more preferably from 5,000 to 20,000, and even more preferably from 7,000 to 10,000.

[0055] The number average molecular weight of the vinyl polymer portion of the resin-type dispersant (B1) is preferably 2,000 to 6,000.

[0056] The vinyl polymer moiety of the resin-type dispersant (B1) preferably has one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acryloyl group and a thermally crosslinkable group, which enhances the degree of crosslinking of the coating film by a pulse exposure step of ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 250 nm or less and a subsequent heating step.

[0057] Examples of resin-type dispersants having a (meth)acryloyl group in a vinyl polymer moiety include the moiety described in JP 2011-157416 A.

Among these, pyromellitic anhydride is preferred.

[0063] For example, a straight-chain resin-type dispersant having a carboxyl group can be synthesized by adding a hydroxyl group in a vinyl polymer having two hydroxyl groups at one end to a tricarboxylic anhydride. Examples of the straight-chain resin-type dispersant include the compounds described in JP-A-2009-251481, JP-A-2007-23195, and JP-A-1996-143651.

[0065] <Resin-type dispersant (B1-R)> In this specification, the resin-type dispersant (B1-R) is a dispersant synthesized based on the comb-shaped resin-type dispersant (B1). It has a main chain containing an aromatic carboxylic acid ester moiety having an ester bond formed by esterification reaction of an aromatic compound having two or more acid anhydride groups and a compound having two or more hydroxyl groups, and a side chain containing a vinyl polymer moiety, and the amount of the acid anhydride groups relative to 1 mole of the hydroxyl groups is preferably 0.9 to 1.5 moles, more preferably 1.0 to 1.3 moles. Furthermore, the main chain containing the aromatic carboxylate moiety has a terminal blocking moiety derived from a terminal blocking material (e.g., monoalcohol, monoamine), that is, during the esterification reaction, the acid anhydride group reacts with the terminal blocking material to generate an alcohol ester group (or amide group) and a carboxyl group. The use of the resin-type dispersant (B1-R) improves the filterability of the photosensitive coloring composition, and can suppress the formation of foreign matter on the coating film formed by coating the photosensitive coloring composition. In addition, when the photosensitive coloring composition is coated, for example, with a die coater, a solidified material originating from the photosensitive coloring composition is formed on the coater head. However, the use of the resin-type dispersant (B1-R) improves the resolubility of the solidified material in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and can suppress the formation of foreign matter on the coating film. In the present invention, the side chain based on the vinyl polymer moiety is formed by polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer. Note that the total monomer units constituting the vinyl polymer moiety refer to partial structures derived from each ethylenically unsaturated monomer after vinyl polymerization.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0067] The monoalcohol is preferably 3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, or diacetone alcohol, which is a compound having an ether group or a carbonyl group. This gives the dispersant an ether group or a carbonyl group near the end of the main chain, making it easier to redissolve in the organic solvent propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMAc).

[0068] The main chain which is an aromatic carboxylate moiety may have a blocking moiety which is reacted with water, in addition to a blocking moiety derived from a monoalcohol.

[0069] From the viewpoint of reaction control, the monoamine is preferably a secondary amine.

These may be used alone or in combination.

[0070] The end-capping agent is preferably a monoalcohol. This makes it easier to control the reaction during synthesis of the polyester dispersant. It also improves dispersibility and PGMAc resolubility.

[0071] Regarding the synthesis of the capping portion, the amount of the terminal capping agent used relative to the acid anhydride group is preferably 1 to 30 molar equivalents relative to 1 equivalent of the acid anhydride group remaining in the main chain, and more preferably 1.5 to 20 molar equivalents. When the amount is 1 molar equivalent or more, no acid anhydride group remains, resulting in good storage stability, and when the amount is 30 molar equivalents or less, ester exchange reaction due to the ester bond between the monoalcohol and the dispersant is unlikely to occur, and a decrease in molecular weight is unlikely to occur.

[0073] The resin represented by the above general formula (7) has both a tetravalent tetracarboxylic acid compound residue and a lactone residue. This makes it easy to achieve both excellent stability of the photosensitive coloring composition and strong adhesion between the coating film and a transparent substrate such as glass. The synthesis method of the resin represented by the general formula (7) is not limited, but for example, it is preferable to carry out a first step of synthesizing a polylactone having a hydroxyl group at one end by ring-opening polymerization of a lactone using a monoalcohol as an initiator, and a second step of reacting the polylactone having a hydroxyl group at one end with a tetracarboxylic acid anhydride.

[0151] Examples of benzophenone compounds include 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxybenzophenone, 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2,2'-dihydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone, 4-dodecyloxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-octadecyloxybenzophenone, 2,2'dihydroxy-4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone, 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone, and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2'-carboxybenzophenone.

[0152] Examples of the salicylate ester compounds include phenyl salicylate, p-octylphenyl salicylate, and p-tert-butylphenyl salicylate.

[0153] <Antioxidants> The photosensitive coloring composition can contain an antioxidant. The antioxidant can prevent the coating film formed from the photosensitive coloring composition from yellowing due to oxidation during the thermal process of heat curing or ITO annealing, and suppress the decrease in the transmittance of the coating film. In particular, when the pigment concentration of the photosensitive coloring composition is high, the content of the polymerizable compound (D) is relatively reduced, so that the coating film is likely to yellow when the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is increased or a thermosetting compound is blended. Therefore, by including an antioxidant, yellowing due to oxidation during the heating process can be prevented, and the decrease in the transmittance of the coating film can be suppressed.

[0154] The antioxidant is a compound having a radical scavenging function or a peroxide decomposition function. Examples of the antioxidant include hindered phenol compounds, hindered amine compounds, phosphorus compounds, sulfur compounds, and hydroxylamine compounds. The antioxidant is preferably a compound that does not contain a halogen atom.

[0155] Among these, from the viewpoint of achieving both the transmittance and the sensitivity of the coating film, hindered phenol-based antioxidants, hindered amine-based antioxidants, phosphorus-based antioxidants, and sulfur-based antioxidants are preferred.

[0156] The antioxidants can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0157] The content of the antioxidant is more preferably 0.5 to 5.0% by mass based on 100% by mass of the nonvolatile content of the photosensitive coloring composition, since the transmittance, spectral characteristics, and sensitivity are excellent.

[0158] <Leveling agent> The photosensitive coloring composition can contain a leveling agent. This improves the wettability of the transparent substrate during film formation and the drying property of the film. Examples of the leveling agent include silicone surfactants, fluorine surfactants, nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and anionic surfactants.

[0159] The content of the leveling agent is preferably 0.001 to 2.0% by mass, more preferably 0.005 to 1.0% by mass, based on the non-volatile content of the photosensitive coloring composition. By being within this range, the balance between the coatability, pattern adhesion, and transmittance of the photosensitive coloring composition is further improved.

[0160] <Storage stabilizer> The photosensitive coloring composition can contain a storage stabilizer to stabilize the viscosity of the composition over time. Examples of the storage stabilizer include quaternary ammonium chlorides such as benzyl trimethyl chloride and diethylhydroxyamine, organic acids such as lactic acid and oxalic acid and their methyl ethers, organic phosphines such as t-butylpyrocatechol, tetraethylphosphine and tetraphenylphosphine, and phosphites.

[0161] The content of the storage stabilizer is preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the colorant (A).

[0162] <Adhesion improver> The photosensitive coloring composition may contain an adhesion improver. This improves the adhesion between the substrate and the coating. Examples of the adhesion improver include a silane coupling agent. Examples of the silane coupling agent include vinyl silanes such as vinyl trimethoxy silane and vinyl triethoxy silane, (meth)acrylic silanes such as 3-methacryloxypropyl methyl dimethoxy silane, 3-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane, 3-methacryloxypropyl methyl diethoxy silane, 3-methacryloxypropyl triethoxy silane and 3-acryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane, epoxy silanes such as 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyl trimethoxy silane, 3-glycidoxypropyl methyl dimethoxy silane, 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane, 3-glycidoxypropyl methyl diethoxy silane and 3-glycidoxypropyl triethoxy silane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl methyl dimethoxy silane, N-2-( aminosilanes such as N-(vinylbenzyl)-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N-(1,3-dimethyl-butylidene)propylamine, N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and N-(vinylbenzyl)-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane hydrochloride; mercaptos such as 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane; styryls such as p-styryltrimethoxysilane; ureidos such as 3-ureidopropyltriethoxysilane; sulfides such as bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide; and isocyanates such as 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane.

[0163] The content of the adhesion improver is preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the colorant (A). When an appropriate amount is contained, the adhesion of the coating is further improved, and the resolution of the pattern is also further improved.

[0164] <Solvent> The photosensitive coloring composition can contain a solvent. This makes it easier to adjust the viscosity of the photosensitive coloring composition, making it easier to form a coating with a smooth surface. The solvent may be appropriately selected according to the purpose of use, and may be contained in an appropriate amount.

[0165] Examples of the solvent include ester solvents (solvents containing -COO- but not -O- in the molecule), ether solvents (solvents containing -O- but not -COO- in the molecule), ether ester solvents (solvents containing -COO- and -O- in the molecule), ketone solvents (solvents containing -CO- but not -COO- in the molecule), alcohol solvents (solvents containing OH in the molecule and not containing -O-, -CO- or -COO-), aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, amide solvents, dimethyl sulfoxide, and the like.

[0166] Among these, in terms of coatability and drying property, solvents having a boiling point of 120° C. or more and 180° C. or less at 1 atm are preferred. For example, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc. are more preferred, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethyl lactate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, etc. are even more preferred.

[0167] The solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0168] <Method for producing photosensitive coloring composition> The photosensitive coloring composition is prepared by dispersing a pigment dispersion using, for example, a colorant (A), a resin-type dispersant (B), a solvent, etc. Then, the pigment dispersion, a binder resin (C), a polymerizable compound (D), and a photopolymerization initiator (E) are mixed together to prepare the photosensitive coloring composition. The timing of mixing each material is arbitrary. The dispersion process can also be carried out multiple times.

[0169] The dispersion treatment can be carried out using a dispersion device such as a kneader, a two-roll mill, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, a horizontal sand mill, a vertical sand mill, an annular bead mill, or an attritor.

[0170] <Removal of large particles> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is preferably subjected to removal of coarse particles of 5 μm or more, preferably coarse particles of 1 μm or more, more preferably coarse particles of 0.5 μm or more, and mixed dust by means of centrifugation at a gravitational acceleration of 3000 to 25000 G, filtration with a sintered filter or a membrane filter, etc. In this way, it is preferable that the photosensitive coloring composition does not substantially contain particles of 0.5 μm or more. More preferably, it is preferable that the particles are 0.3 μm or less.

[0171] <Water content in photosensitive coloring composition> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention preferably has a water content of 2 mass % or less.

[0172] When the water content is set to the above, the photosensitive coloring composition has excellent dispersion stability and sensitivity even after storage over time. The water content in the photosensitive coloring composition is preferably 1.8% by mass or less, more preferably 1.6% by mass or less, and if the water content is sufficiently low within this range, problems with dispersion stability and sensitivity are unlikely to occur even after storage over time.

[0173] The method for controlling the water content is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. For example, a method for producing a photosensitive coloring composition while blowing in a dry inert gas, or a method for dehydrating the composition by adding molecular sieves after production, etc. can be mentioned. Among them, the method for producing the composition while blowing in a dry inert gas is preferred.

[0174] The water content can be measured by a known method such as the Karl Fischer method.

[0175] <Amount of toluene in the photosensitive coloring composition> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention may contain toluene. The content of toluene in the photosensitive coloring composition is preferably 0.1 to 10 ppm by mass. The upper limit of the toluene content is preferably 9 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 8 ppm by mass or less, and even more preferably 7 ppm by mass or less. The lower limit is preferably 0.2 ppm by mass or more, more preferably 0.3 ppm by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.4 ppm by mass or more.

[0176] <Color filters> The color filter of the present invention has filter segments (also called pixels) formed from a photosensitive coloring composition. The color filter preferably has a base material (substrate). The filter segments preferably have red filter segments, green filter segments, and blue filter segments by appropriately selecting the type of colorant (A) used. The filter segments may have magenta filter segments, cyan filter segments, and yellow filter segments instead of these. A reflective substrate may be used instead of the transparent substrate. Examples of the transparent substrate include a glass substrate. Examples of the reflective substrate include a substrate using an aluminum electrode or a metal thin film as a reflective surface.

[0177] <Manufacturing method for color filters> It is preferable to form a color filter by first forming a black matrix on a substrate and then forming filter segments. It is also possible to form a thin film transistor (TFT) on the substrate before forming the black matrix. Examples of the black matrix include a multilayer film of chromium or chromium / chromium oxide, an inorganic film such as titanium nitride, and a resin film with a light-shielding agent dispersed therein.

[0178] The filter segments can be formed by, for example, a printing method, an electrodeposition method, a transfer method, an inkjet method, a photolithography method, etc. In this specification, the most preferred method is the photolithography method.

[0179] In the photolithography method, for example, a photosensitive coloring composition containing a colorant of a certain color tone is applied onto a transparent substrate so that the dry film thickness is about 0.2 to 5 μm to form a coating. The obtained coating (hereinafter referred to as the first coating) is exposed (irradiated with light) through a mask having a predetermined pattern. Then, the coating is developed by immersing in a solvent or an alkaline developer or spraying the developer with a spray or the like, and the uncured parts are removed to obtain a desired pattern. This process can be similarly carried out using a photosensitive coloring composition containing a colorant of another color tone to produce a color filter having filter segments of each color. In addition, a second coating (oxygen barrier film) can be formed on the first coating before exposure using polyvinyl alcohol or a water-soluble acrylic resin. This prevents the first coating from coming into contact with oxygen, thereby further improving the exposure sensitivity. In addition, the color filter can be heated to cure the uncured photopolymerizable compound in the filter segment.

[0180] Examples of the coating device include a spray coater, a spin coater, a slit coater, and a roll coater. A drying step can be carried out during coating. Examples of the drying device include a hot air oven and an infrared heater.

[0181] <Exposure process> For the exposure, pulsed exposure to ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 250 nm or less is used for pattern formation. For the exposure, ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 180 nm or more is preferred. Examples of the wavelength of the exposure include KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF rays (wavelength 193 nm). KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) are preferred because the bonds of the coloring materials contained in the photosensitive coloring composition are less likely to be broken. In addition, the exposure device is preferably a KrF ray scanner exposure device. According to this embodiment, the alignment accuracy of the exposure is good, and fine pixels can be easily formed. Examples of the light source include an excimer laser light source and a far ultraviolet lamp. An excimer laser light source is preferred because it can be exposed to high-intensity light instantaneously, which is advantageous for curing properties.

[0182] In addition, although there is a method of continuously irradiating light during exposure, pulse (intermittent) exposure is used because it is easier to obtain better curing properties. The pulse exposure is an exposure method in which light irradiation and pause are repeated in a short cycle (for example, millisecond level or less). In the case of pulse exposure, the pulse width is preferably 100 nanoseconds (ns) or less, more preferably 50 nanoseconds or less, and even more preferably 30 nanoseconds or less, because it is easy to generate a large amount of active species such as radicals instantaneously. There is no particular limit to the lower limit of the pulse width, but it can be 1 femtosecond (fs) or more, and can also be 10 femtoseconds or more. The frequency is preferably 1 kHz or more, more preferably 2 kHz or more, and even more preferably 4 kHz or more, because it is easy to promote thermal polymerization due to exposure heat. The upper limit of the frequency is preferably 50 kHz or less, more preferably 20 kHz or less, and even more preferably 10 kHz or less, because it is easy to suppress deformation of the substrate due to exposure heat. The maximum instantaneous irradiance is 50,000,000 W / m from the viewpoint of curing. 2 More preferably, it is 100,000,000 W / m 2 More preferably, it is 200,000,000 W / m or more. 2 It is more preferable that the upper limit of the maximum instantaneous illuminance is 1000000000 W / m from the viewpoint of suppressing high illuminance failure. 2 Preferably, it is less than 800,000,000 W / m 2 More preferably, it is 500,000,000 W / m or less. 2 It is more preferable that the pulse width is equal to or less than 1000 s. The pulse width refers to the time during which light is irradiated in a pulse period. The frequency refers to the number of pulse periods per second. The maximum instantaneous irradiance refers to the average irradiance during the time during which light is irradiated in a pulse period. The pulse period refers to a period in which light irradiation and pause in pulse exposure constitute one cycle.

[0183] The exposure dose is, for example, 1 to 2000 mJ / cm 2 The upper limit is 1000 mJ / cm 2Less than 500 mJ / cm is preferable. 2 The lower limit is 5 mJ / cm. 2 More than 10 mJ / cm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 20 mJ / cm or more. 2 The above is even more preferable.

[0184] The oxygen concentration during exposure can be appropriately selected. In addition to being performed in air, exposure may be performed in a low-oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 19 volume% or less (e.g., 15 volume%, 5 volume%, substantially oxygen-free), or in a high-oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of more than 21 volume% (e.g., 22 volume%, 30 volume%, 50 volume%).

[0185] The exposure equipment used for pulse exposure is preferably a reduction projection exposure equipment. Reduction projection exposure equipment includes a step-and-repeat type (step-per), which exposes a square area with one light irradiation (one shot), and a step-and-scan type (scanner), which exposes by irradiating light while moving (scanning) a long, thin slit-shaped area in the horizontal direction.

[0186] A stepper exposes the roughly circular exposure area defined by the optical lens for reduction projection exposure by dividing it into squares and performing one-shot exposure, so it is affected by lens distortion, whereas a scanner defines the exposure area in the center of the optical lens for reduction projection exposure as a slit, and scans and exposes the slit. For this reason, compared to a stepper, a scanner uses only the area of ​​the lens with less distortion for exposure. Exposing an area with less distortion improves the printing accuracy (overlay accuracy, etc.) of the pattern formed on the reticle onto the wafer substrate.

[0187] The developer may be an alkaline developer, for example, an inorganic alkali such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, or an organic alkali such as dimethylbenzylamine, triethanolamine, or TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). An antifoaming agent or a surfactant may be added to the developer.

[0188] The color filter of the present invention is laminated to an opposing substrate using a sealant, liquid crystal is injected through an injection port provided in the sealing part, the injection port is sealed, and a polarizing film or a retardation film is laminated to the outside of the substrate as necessary, to produce a color liquid crystal display device. This color liquid crystal display device can be used in liquid crystal display modes that use color filters such as twisted nematic (TN), super twisted nematic (STN), in-plane switching (IPS), vertically aligned (VA), and optically convencive bend (OCB).

[0189] The color filter in this specification can be used for applications such as solid-state imaging devices, organic EL displays, quantum dot displays, electronic paper, and head-mounted displays, in addition to liquid crystal displays.

[0190] <Solid-state imaging element> The solid-state imaging device of the present invention includes the above-mentioned color filter of the present invention. The solid-state imaging device is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include the following configurations.

[0191] The solid-state imaging element has, on a support, a plurality of photodiodes constituting a light receiving area thereof and a transfer electrode made of polysilicon or the like; a light-shielding film made of tungsten or the like is provided on the photodiodes and the transfer electrode, with only the light receiving portions of the photodiodes being opened; 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 portions of the photodiodes; and a cured film of the present invention is provided on the device protection film. Furthermore, the device protective film may have a configuration in which a focusing means (e.g., a microlens, etc.; the same applies below) is provided below the cured film of the present invention (on the side closer to the support), or a configuration in which a focusing means is provided on the cured film of the present invention. In addition, in the solid-state imaging device, the color filter may have a structure in which a cured film forming each color pixel is embedded in a space partitioned by partition walls, for example in a lattice shape. In this case, it is preferable that the partition walls have a low refractive index with respect to each color pixel.

[0192] <Liquid crystal display device> The liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a color filter. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention comprises the color filter of the present invention and a light source. Examples of the light source include a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) and a white LED, but in the present invention, it is preferable to use a white LED because it widens the red reproduction range. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a liquid crystal display device 10 equipped with the color filter of the present invention. The device 10 shown in Fig. 1 comprises a pair of transparent substrates 11 and 21 arranged to face each other with a space therebetween, and a liquid crystal LC is sealed between them.

[0193] The liquid crystal LC is aligned according to a driving mode such as TN (Twisted Nematic), STN (Super Twisted Nematic), IPS (In-Plane switching), VA (Vertical Alignment), OCB (Optically Compensated Birefringence), etc. A TFT (Thin Film Transistor) array 12 is formed on the inner surface of the first transparent substrate 11, and a transparent electrode layer 13 made of, for example, ITO is formed thereon. An alignment layer 14 is provided on the transparent electrode layer 13. In addition, a polarizing plate 15 is formed on the outer surface of the transparent substrate 11.

[0194] On the other hand, a color filter 22 of the present invention is formed on the inner surface of the second transparent substrate 21. Red, green and blue filter segments constituting the color filter 22 are separated by a black matrix (not shown).

[0195] A transparent protective film (not shown) is formed as necessary to cover the color filter 22, and a transparent electrode layer 23 made of, for example, ITO is formed on top of the transparent protective film. An alignment layer 24 is provided to cover the transparent electrode layer 23.

[0196] In addition, a polarizing plate 25 is formed on the outer surface of the transparent substrate 21. Below the polarizing plate 25, a backlight unit 30 is provided.

[0197] The white LED light source may be one in which a fluorescent filter is formed on the surface of a blue LED, or one in which a fluorescent material is contained in the resin package of a blue LED, and has a wavelength (λ3) in the range of 430 nm to 485 nm at which the emission intensity is maximized, a wavelength (λ4) in the range of 530 nm to 580 nm at which the emission intensity is maximized, and a wavelength (λ5) in the range of 600 nm to 650 nm at which the emission intensity is maximized, and the ratio (I4 / I3) of the emission intensity I3 at wavelength λ3 to the emission intensity I4 at wavelength λ4 is 0.2 or more and 0.4 or less. In particular, a white LED light source (LED1) having spectral characteristics in which the ratio (I5 / I3) of the emission intensity I3 at wavelength λ3 to the emission intensity I5 at wavelength λ5 is 0.1 or more and 1.3 or less, or a white LED light source (LED2) having a wavelength (λ1) at which the emission intensity is maximum within the range of 430 nm to 485 nm, a peak wavelength (λ2) of the second emission intensity within the range of 530 nm to 580 nm, and a ratio (I2 / I1) of the emission intensity I1 at wavelength λ1 to the emission intensity I2 at wavelength λ2 is 0.2 or more and 0.7 or less is preferred.

[0199] Specific examples of the LED 2 include NSSW440 (manufactured by Nichia Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and NSSW304D (manufactured by Nichia Chemical Industries, Ltd.). EXAMPLES

[0200] The present invention will be described below with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples. In the examples, "parts" means "parts by mass" and "%" means "% by mass".

[0201] Prior to the examples, the methods for measuring and calculating the average molecular weight of a resin and the acid value of a resin will be described.

[0202] <Average primary particle size of pigment> The average primary particle size of the pigment was measured by a common method of directly measuring the size of the primary particles from a transmission electron microscope (TEM) photograph. Specifically, the minor axis and major axis diameters of each pigment primary particle were measured, and the average was taken as the particle size of the pigment particle. Next, for 100 or more pigment particles, the volume (weight) of each particle was calculated by approximating it to a rectangular parallelepiped of the calculated particle size, and the volume average particle size was taken as the average primary particle size.

[0203] (Dispersed particle size measurement) Using Nikkiso's Microtrac UPA-EX150 with dynamic light scattering (FFT power spectrum method), particle transmittance was set to absorption mode, particle shape was set to non-spherical, and D50 was set to average diameter. The same solvents used for the dispersion were used as dilution solvents for the measurement, and the samples treated with ultrasonic waves were measured immediately after sample preparation.

[0204] (Average molecular weight of resin) The number average molecular weight (Mn) and mass average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with an RI detector. The instrument used was an HLC-8220GPC (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation), with two separation columns connected in series, and both packings were "TSK-GEL SUPER HZM-N" connected in series. The oven temperature was 40°C, tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution was used as the eluent, and the flow rate was 0.35 ml / min. The sample was dissolved in a solvent consisting of 1 wt% of the above eluent, and 20 microliters were injected. All molecular weights are polystyrene equivalent values.

[0205] (Acid value of resin) 80 ml of acetone and 10 ml of water were added to 0.5 to 1 g of resin solution, and the solution was stirred to dissolve uniformly. The solution was titrated using an automatic titrator ("COM-555" manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd.) with a 0.1 mol / L KOH aqueous solution as the titrant, and the acid value (mgKOH / g) of the resin solution was measured. The acid value per unit of non-volatile content of the resin was calculated from the acid value of the resin solution and the concentration of non-volatile content of the resin solution.

[0206] (Amine value (mgKOH / g) of basic resin type dispersant) The amine value of a basic resin type dispersant is a value obtained by converting the total amine value (mgKOH / g) measured in accordance with the method of ASTM D 2074 into non-volatile content.

[0207] (Ammonium salt value (mgKOH / g)) The ammonium salt value is determined by titrating with 0.1N silver nitrate aqueous solution using 5% potassium chromate aqueous solution as an indicator, and then converted to the potassium hydroxide equivalent, and indicates the ammonium salt value of the non-volatile content.

[0208] <Method of manufacturing fine pigment> (Production of Micronized Pigment (A1-1)) 100 parts of CI Pigment Red 272 represented by formula (a1-1), 1000 parts of sodium chloride, and 120 parts of diethylene glycol were charged into a stainless steel 1-gallon kneader (manufactured by Inoue Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) and kneaded for 10 hours at 60° C. Next, the kneaded mixture was poured into warm water and stirred for 1 hour while heating to about 80° C. to form a slurry, which was then filtered and washed with water to remove the salt and diethylene glycol, and then dried overnight at 80° C. and pulverized to obtain a finely divided pigment (A1-1) having a diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment.

[0209] (Production of Micronized Pigments (A1-2) to (A1-9)) The fine pigments (A1-2) to (A1-9) were obtained in the same manner as in the production of the fine pigment (A1-1), except that the CI Pigment Red 272 represented by formula (1) was changed to the pigments represented by formulas (a1-2) to (a1-9).

[0210] (Production of finely divided pigment (A2-1)) A diketopyrrolopyrrole-based fine pigment (A2-1) was obtained in the same manner as in the production of the fine pigment (A1-1), except that CI Pigment Red 272 was changed to CI Pigment Red 254 (BASF Japan Ltd.'s "Irgaphor Red B-CF").

[0211] (Micronized pigment (A3-1)) 100 parts of CI Pigment Yellow 139 (BASF Japan "Irgaphor Yellow 2R-CF"), 1200 parts of sodium chloride, and 120 parts of diethylene glycol were charged into a stainless steel 1-gallon kneader (Inoue Manufacturing Co., Ltd.) and kneaded for 6 hours at 70° C. This kneaded mixture was added to 3000 parts of warm water, heated to 70° C. and stirred for 1 hour to form a slurry, filtered and washed repeatedly to remove the sodium chloride and diethylene glycol, and then dried at 80° C. for one day to obtain a fine pigment (A3-1).

[0212] (Production of Micronized Pigments (A3-2) to (A3-4)) Quinophthalone pigment fine particles (A3-2) to (A3-4) were prepared according to the examples in JP 2012-226110 A. Their structures are shown below.

Next, this mixture was poured into 3 liters of warm water, heated to about 80° C. and stirred with a high-speed mixer for about 1 hour to form a slurry, which was filtered and washed repeatedly with water to remove the sodium chloride and solvent, and then dried at 80° C. for one day and night to obtain a finely divided yellow pigment (A3-5).

[0215] (Micronized pigment (A3-6)) The azobarbituric acid precursor was prepared according to the synthesis method described in JP 2017-171915 A. (Instruction 1) 46.2 parts of diazobarbituric acid and 38.4 parts of barbituric acid were introduced into 1100 parts of distilled water at 85° C. The pH was then adjusted to about pH 5 with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution and stirring was continued for 90 minutes. Azobarbituric acid (0.3 moles) prepared in Instruction 1 was then mixed with 1500 parts of distilled water at 82°C.

The obtained evaluation pixels were observed to see if they remained on the substrate without peeling off during the development and washing processes. 4: All 0.6 μm square, 1 μm square, and 1.5 μm square pixels remain. 3: There is some peeling of the 0.6 μm square, but all of the 1 μm square and 1.5 μm square pixels remain. 2: There is some peeling on the 0.6 μm square and 1 μm square pixels, but all of the 1.5 μm square pixels remain. 1: There was some peeling in the 1.5 μm square pixel.

[0266] <Viscosity characteristics> The viscosity was measured at a rotation speed of 20 rpm using an E-type viscometer ("ELD type viscometer" manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.) The evaluation criteria are as follows. 3: Viscosity: 2.0 or more and less than 10.0 1: Viscosity 10.0 or more

[0267] <Storage stability> The storage stability of the obtained photosensitive coloring composition was evaluated by the following method.
