[0042] Resin [K1] can be produced, for example, by referring to the method described in the literature "Experimental Methods of Polymer Synthesis" (written by Otsu Takayuki, published by Kagaku Dojin Co., Ltd., 1st edition, 1st printing, published March 1, 1972) and the references cited in said literature.
[0043] Specifically, a method is exemplified in which a predetermined amount of (a) and (b), a polymerization initiator, a solvent, etc. are placed in a reaction vessel, and the atmosphere is deoxygenated by, for example, replacing oxygen with nitrogen, and the mixture is heated and kept warm while stirring. The polymerization initiator and solvent used here are not particularly limited, and those commonly used in the field can be used. For example, examples of the polymerization initiator include azo compounds (2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), etc.) and organic peroxides (benzoyl peroxide, etc.). The solvent may be any one that dissolves each monomer, and for example, those exemplified as solvent (E) described later can be used.
[0044] The copolymer obtained may be used as it is after the reaction, or may be used after it has been concentrated or diluted. The copolymer obtained may be used after it has been extracted as a solid (powder) by a method such as reprecipitation. In particular, by using a solvent (E) described later as a solvent during this polymerization, the solution after the reaction can be used for the preparation of the colored curable resin composition and the colored curable resin composition, and therefore the manufacturing process of the colored curable resin composition and the colored curable resin composition of this embodiment can be simplified.
[0045] In the resin [K2], the ratio of structural units derived from each of them is as follows among all structural units constituting the resin [K2]: Structural units derived from (a): 2 to 45 mol% Structural units derived from (b): 2 to 95 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 1 to 65 mol% It is preferred that Structural units derived from (a): 5 to 40 mol% Structural units derived from (b): 5 to 80 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 5 to 60 mol% It is more preferable that:
[0046] When the ratio of the structural units of the resin [K2] is within the above range, the colored curable resin composition and the colored curable resin composition tend to have excellent storage stability, developability when forming a colored pattern, and the obtained optical filter tends to have excellent solvent resistance, light resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength.

[0049] Resin [K3] can be produced, for example, in the same manner as described above as the method for producing resin [K1].
[0050] Resin [K4] can be produced by obtaining a copolymer of (a) and (c), and then adding the cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms contained in (b) to the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic acid anhydride contained in (a).
[0051] First, a copolymer of (a) and (c) is produced in the same manner as described for the production method of resin [K1]. In this case, the ratio of the structural units derived from each is preferably the same as the ratio exemplified for resin [K3].
[0052] Next, the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic anhydride derived from (a) in the copolymer is reacted with a cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms contained in (b). Following the production of the copolymer of (a) and (c), the atmosphere in the flask is replaced with air instead of nitrogen, and (b), a reaction catalyst for the carboxylic acid or carboxylic anhydride with the cyclic ether (e.g., tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, etc.), and a polymerization inhibitor (e.g., hydroquinone, etc.) are placed in the flask, and the mixture is reacted at 60 to 130° C. for 1 to 10 hours, for example, to produce the resin [K4].
[0053] The amount of (b) used is preferably 5 to 80 moles, more preferably 10 to 75 moles, relative to 100 moles of (a). By adjusting the amount within this range, the colored curable resin composition and the colored curable resin composition tend to have a good balance of storage stability, developability when forming a pattern, and solvent resistance, light resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and sensitivity of the resulting pattern. Since the reactivity of cyclic ethers is high and unreacted (b) is unlikely to remain, (b) used in the resin [K4] is preferably (b1), more preferably (b1-1).

[0056] Resin [K5] is produced in the first step by the same method as the above-mentioned resin [K1], to obtain a copolymer of (b) and (c). As in the above, the obtained copolymer may be used as a solution after the reaction as it is, or a concentrated or diluted solution may be used. The obtained copolymer may also be used after being extracted as a solid (powder) by a method such as reprecipitation.
[0057] The ratios of the structural units derived from (b) and (c) to the total number of moles of all structural units constituting the above copolymer are, respectively, Structural units derived from (b): 5 to 95 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 5 to 95 mol% It is preferred that Structural units derived from (b): 10 to 90 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 10 to 90 mol% It is more preferable that:
[0058] Furthermore, under the same conditions as in the manufacturing method of resin [K4], resin [K5] can be obtained by reacting the cyclic ether derived from (b) contained in the copolymer of (b) and (c) with the carboxylic acid or carboxylic anhydride contained in (a).
[0059] The amount of (a) reacted with the copolymer is preferably 5 to 80 moles per 100 moles of (b). Since the reactivity of cyclic ethers is high and unreacted (b) is unlikely to remain, (b) used in the resin [K5] is preferably (b1), more preferably (b1-1).
[0060] In resin [K5], the ratio of structural units derived from each of them is as follows among all structural units constituting resin [K5]: Structural units derived from (a) (without addition of (b)); 0 to 30 mol% Structural units obtained by adding (b) to structural units derived from (a); 5 to 95 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 5 to 95 mol% It is preferred that Structural units derived from (a) (without addition of (b)); 0 to 10 mol% Structural units obtained by adding (b) to structural units derived from (a): 15 to 90 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 10 to 85 mol% It is more preferable that Structural units derived from (a) (without addition of (b)); 0 to 5 mol% Structural units obtained by adding (b) to structural units derived from (a): 20 to 80 mol% Structural units derived from (c): 20 to 80 mol% It is even more preferred that:

[0062] As the structural unit derived from (a) (without the addition of (b)), a structural unit derived from an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid such as (meth)acrylic acid is preferred. As the structural unit obtained by adding (b) to a structural unit derived from (a), a structural unit obtained by adding a monomer (b1-1) having a structure in which a linear or branched aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon is epoxidized to a structural unit derived from an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid such as (meth)acrylic acid is preferred. As the structural unit derived from (c), one or more types selected from (meth)acrylic acid esters having a linear or branched aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon group and (meth)acrylic acid esters having a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon group are preferred, and two or more types are more preferred.
[0063] The resin [K5] may be produced by referring to the production method of the resin [K4] described above, and the amount of (b) used may be more than 80 mol and 100 mol or less per 100 mol of (a).

Among these, the method for producing a colored pattern is preferably a photolithography method. The photolithography method is a method in which a colored curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, dried to form a colored coating film, and the colored coating film is exposed through a photomask and developed. In the photolithography method, a colored cured coating film, which is a cured product of the colored coating film, can be formed by not using a photomask during exposure and / or not developing. The colored pattern (pattern colored cured coating film) or colored cured coating film thus formed is the color filter of the present embodiment.
[0128] The thickness of the color filter to be produced is not particularly limited and can be appropriately adjusted depending on the purpose and use, etc. The thickness of the color filter may be, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.1 to 20 μm, and more preferably 0.5 to 6 μm.
[0129] Examples of the substrate include glass plates such as quartz glass, borosilicate glass, alumina silicate glass, and soda lime glass with a silica-coated surface; resin plates such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyethylene terephthalate; silicon substrates; and substrates having a thin film of aluminum, silver, or a silver / copper / palladium alloy formed thereon.

[0130] The formation of each color pixel by photolithography can be carried out using known or commonly used equipment, conditions, etc. The formation of each color pixel by photolithography can be carried out, for example, as follows.
[0131] First, the colored curable resin composition is applied onto a substrate, and then dried by heating and drying (prebaking) and / or drying under reduced pressure to remove volatile components such as the solvent, thereby obtaining a smooth colored coating film.
[0132] Examples of the coating method include spin coating, slit coating, and slit and spin coating. When drying by heating, the temperature is preferably 30 to 120°C, and more preferably 50 to 110°C.

When drying under reduced pressure, it is preferably performed under a pressure of 50 to 150 Pa at a temperature of 20 to 25°C.
[0133] The thickness of the colored coating film is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected depending on the thickness of the desired color filter.
[0134] Next, the colored coating film is exposed through a photomask for forming a desired colored pattern. The pattern of the photomask is not particularly limited, and a pattern depending on the intended use can be used.
[0135] The light source used for exposure is preferably a light source that generates light with a wavelength of 250 to 450 nm.

Specific examples of the light source used for exposure include a mercury lamp, a light-emitting diode, a metal halide lamp, and a halogen lamp.
[0136] For exposure, it is preferable to use an exposure device such as a mask aligner and a stepper, since this allows uniform irradiation of the entire exposure surface with parallel light rays and allows accurate alignment of the photomask with the substrate on which the colored coating film is formed.
[0137] A colored pattern is formed on the substrate by contacting the exposed colored coating film (i.e., the colored cured coating film) with a developer and developing it. The unexposed parts of the colored cured coating film are dissolved in the developer and removed by development. Examples of the developer include aqueous solutions (aqueous developers) containing alkaline compounds such as potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The concentration of the alkaline compound in these aqueous developers is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.03 to 5% by mass. The developer may further contain a surfactant.
[0138] Examples of the developing method include a puddle method, a dipping method, a spray method, etc. During development, the substrate may be tilted at an arbitrary angle. After development, it is preferable to wash the obtained colored pattern with water.
[0139] The obtained colored pattern is preferably post-baked. The post-baking temperature is preferably 150 to 250° C., more preferably 160 to 235° C. The post-baking time is preferably 1 to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 to 60 minutes.

Thereafter, the flask was replaced with air, and 91 parts of acrylic acid, 1.1 parts of triphenylphosphine, and 1.1 parts of methoquinone were added, and the reaction was continued at 120°C for 10 hours. Then, 18 parts of succinic anhydride were added to the reaction system, and the reaction was continued for another 30 minutes to obtain resin B1. Finally, 330 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether was added to the reaction solution, and then propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added to give a solid concentration of 40%, to obtain a solution of resin B1 (double bond equivalent: 330 g / mol). The double bond equivalent of resin B1 was calculated by analyzing the structure of each structural unit constituting the curable resin.

[0160] <Evaluation of Colored Curable Resin Composition> -Evaluation of remaining film rate Each colored curable resin composition was applied by spin coating onto a 2-inch square glass substrate (Eagle 2000, Corning Incorporated), and prebaked at 85°C for 2 minutes. After cooling, the substrate was exposed to light at 100 mJ / cm2 in the air using an exposure machine (TME-150RSK, Topcon Corporation), with the distance between the substrate and a quartz glass photomask set at 50 µm. 2The substrate was irradiated with light at an exposure dose (based on 365 nm). The film thickness of the obtained colored cured coating film was measured using a film thickness measuring device (DEKTAK3, manufactured by Nippon Shinku Gijutsu Co., Ltd.) and was designated as FA (μm). A photomask on which a 10 μm line and space pattern was formed was used. After the light irradiation, the substrate was immersed and developed in an aqueous developer containing 0.12% nonionic surfactant and 0.04% potassium hydroxide at 24° C. for 60 seconds. After washing with water, the substrate was post-baked in an oven at 85° C. for 30 minutes to obtain a colored pattern (patterned colored cured coating film). The film thickness of the obtained colored pattern was measured using a film thickness measuring device (DEKTAK3, manufactured by Nippon Shinku Gijutsu Co., Ltd.) and was designated as FB (μm). The remaining film ratio was calculated from the measured film thicknesses FA and FB according to the following formula. The results are shown in Tables 4, 5, and 6. Remaining film rate (%)=FB / FA×100
[0161] ·Pattern evaluation The colored patterns prepared in the above "Evaluation of film remaining ratio" were observed using a scanning electron microscope (S-4000, Hitachi, Ltd.). When the pattern line width was more than 0 nm and less than 20 nm, it was evaluated as "A" as excellent pattern formability, and when a pattern could not be formed or the pattern line width was 20 nm or more, it was evaluated as "B". The results are shown in Tables 4, 5, and 6.
[0162] [Table 4]
[0163] [Table 5]
[0164] [Table 6]
[0165] As shown in Tables 4, 5, and 6, the colored curable resin compositions of the examples, which contain a predetermined polymerizable compound and have a polyfunctional thiol compound content within a predetermined range, were superior in both the residual film rate and pattern formability before and after development to the colored curable resin compositions of the comparative examples, which do not satisfy these conditions. From these results, it was confirmed that the colored curable resin composition of the present invention can provide a cured product that is excellent in the residual film rate and pattern formability before and after development.
