[0047] (Y - represents an anion such as a halogen.) Reaction 1 involves nitration with concentrated nitric acid under acidic conditions.

[0049] (Compound (b) Having an Anionic Site) The compound (b) having an anionic moiety includes salts formed between an anionic moiety selected from the general formulae (2-1) to (2-4) and a metal or the like.

[0050] In one example of the manufacturing process of dye (A), dye (a) is dissolved in water or water containing a hydrophilic organic solvent, and a solution of a compound (b) having one anionic moiety selected from the general formulae (2-1) to (2-4) dissolved in water or water containing a hydrophilic organic solvent is gradually added, and the precipitate is filtered off. The precipitate is then dried to obtain dye (A) which is a salt.

[0051] <Uses of dye (A)> The colorant (A) of the present invention can be used in various applications, such as printing inks, paints, colorants for plastics, and color filters. In addition, the dye (A) of the present invention has a characteristic of emitting strong fluorescence of 650 to 800 nm when irradiated with light of 650 to 750 nm. Therefore, for example, by giving a site that interacts with a specific site of a living body to the dye (A) of the present invention, it can be used as a fluorescent dye for a living body. Since a living body has strong absorption in the wavelength region of 400 to 650 nm, which is almost the same as visible light, and does not transmit light in this region, even if visible light is emitted inside the living body, it cannot be detected from the outside, but has a characteristic of transmitting light of 650 to 1000 nm. Therefore, when the dye (A) of the present invention interacts with a specific site of a living body, it is possible to irradiate light of 650 to 750 nm from the outside of the living body and detect the emitted light of 650 to 800 nm outside the living body. In addition, a fluorescent dye needs to have high light resistance because it is irradiated with light, and since the dye (A) has high light resistance because it is a salt formed with a specific anionic site, it is useful as a fluorescent dye.

Among these, from the viewpoint of transmittance, CI Pigment Green 7, 36, 58, 59, 62, 63, and pigments described in JP-A-2017-111398 are preferred.

[0070] Examples of green dyes include CI Solvent Green 3, 20, and 28, CI Acid Green 25, 27, 36, 37, 38, 41, 42, and 44, and CI Bat Green 3, 6, and 8.

[0075] <Minification of pigments> When a pigment is used as a colorant, it is preferable to mix it with other raw materials after the fine-graining treatment. Examples of the method of the fine-graining 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 the fine-graining 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 film. 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.

[0076] The salt milling process 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 having a very fine primary particle diameter, a narrow distribution width, and a sharp particle size distribution.

[0077] Examples of water-soluble inorganic salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate. Among these, sodium chloride (table salt) is preferred from the viewpoint of cost. The amount of the water-soluble inorganic salt used is preferably 50 to 2000 parts by mass, and more preferably 300 to 1000 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the pigment, from the viewpoints of both treatment efficiency and production efficiency.

[0078] The water-soluble organic solvent moistens the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt. The water-soluble organic solvent is a compound that dissolves (is mixed) in water and does not substantially dissolve the water-soluble inorganic salt. The water-soluble organic solvent is preferably a high-boiling solvent having a boiling point of 120°C or more, in that it is less likely to volatilize due to the temperature rise during salt milling. Examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include 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, and liquid polypropylene glycol. The amount of the water-soluble organic solvent used is preferably 5 to 1000 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 500 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the pigment.

[0079] 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.

[0080] <Metal Removal> If the coloring composition contains a large amount of specific metal elements as impurities other than the colorant components, it may hinder the dispersion stability over time, and may cause a decrease in heat resistance or a decrease in sensitivity. In addition, a color filter made using the composition may have foreign matter, which may result in a decrease in brightness.

If the blending amount of the surfactant is less than 0.1 part by mass, it is difficult to obtain the effect of adding the surfactant, and if the blending amount is more than 55 parts by mass, it may have an adverse effect on the dispersion stability.

Of these, preferred are ethylene glycol bisthiopropionate, trimethylolpropane tristhiopropionate, and pentaerythritol tetrakisthiopropionate.

[0128] The thiol chain transfer agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0129] The content of the thiol chain transfer agent is preferably 0.1 to 20% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the nonvolatile content of the colored composition. When an appropriate amount is contained, the photosensitivity and taper shape are improved, and wrinkles are less likely to occur on the coating surface.

[0130] <Polymerization inhibitor> The colored composition of the present invention may contain a polymerization inhibitor, which can suppress photosensitivity due to diffracted light from a mask during exposure in a photolithography method, making it easier to obtain a pattern with a desired shape.

Examples of the ultraviolet absorbing agent include benzotriazole-based compounds, triazine-based compounds, benzophenone-based compounds, cyanoacrylate-based compounds, and salicylate-based compounds.

[0134] The content of the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 5 to 70% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber. This allows a high degree of compatibility between photosensitivity and resolution. When the coloring composition contains a sensitizer, the content of the photopolymerization initiator includes the content of the sensitizer.

[0135] The total content of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 1 to 20% by mass based on 100% by mass of the nonvolatile content of the coloring composition. If the total content of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber is less than the above, adhesion may be weakened and pixel peeling may occur, whereas if it is more than the above, the sensitivity may become excessively high and the resolution may deteriorate.

[0139] Examples of the salicylate compounds include phenyl salicylate, p-octylphenyl salicylate, p-tert-butylphenyl salicylate, etc. In addition, oligomer-type and polymer-type compounds having a salicylate structure can also be used.

[0140] <Antioxidants> The coloring composition of the present invention can contain an antioxidant. The antioxidant prevents the photopolymerization initiator or thermosetting compound contained in the coloring composition from being oxidized and yellowed by the thermal process during thermal curing or ITO annealing, and therefore can improve the transmittance of the coating. In particular, when the coloring composition has a high colorant concentration, the amount of the coating crosslinking component is reduced, and therefore a highly sensitive crosslinking component is used or the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is increased, resulting in a phenomenon in which yellowing during the thermal process is intensified. Therefore, by including an antioxidant, yellowing due to oxidation during the heating process can be prevented, and a film with high transmittance can be obtained.

[0141] Examples of the antioxidant include hindered phenol-based, hindered amine-based, phosphorus-based, sulfur-based, and hydroxylamine-based compounds, etc. In the present invention, the antioxidant is preferably a compound that does not contain a halogen atom.

[0142] Among these, from the viewpoint of achieving both the transmittance and sensitivity of the coating, hindered phenol-based antioxidants, hindered amine-based antioxidants, phosphorus-based antioxidants, and sulfur-based antioxidants are preferred. The antioxidants can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0143] Furthermore, when the content of the antioxidant is 0.5 to 5.0% by mass relative to 100% by mass of the solid content of the colored composition, the transmittance, spectral characteristics, and sensitivity are excellent, which is more preferable.

[0144] <Amine compounds> The coloring composition of the present invention may contain an amine compound for reducing dissolved oxygen. Examples of the amine compound include triethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, methyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, isoamyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, 2-dimethylaminoethyl benzoate, 2-ethylhexyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine.

The leveling agent is preferably, for example, dimethylsiloxane having a polyether structure or polyester structure in the main chain. Examples of dimethylsiloxane having a polyether structure in the main chain include FZ-2122 manufactured by Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd. and BYK-333 manufactured by BYK-Chemie. Examples of dimethylsiloxane having a polyester structure in the main chain include BYK-310 and BYK-370 manufactured by BYK-Chemie. Dimethylsiloxane having a polyether structure in the main chain and dimethylsiloxane having a polyester structure in the main chain can be used in combination. The content of the leveling agent is preferably 0.003 to 0.5% by mass in 100% by mass of the non-volatile content of the coloring composition.

[0146] The leveling agent is, for example, a type of so-called surfactant having a hydrophobic group and a hydrophilic group in the molecule, and is a compound that has a hydrophilic group but has low solubility in water and can reduce surface tension. As the leveling agent, dimethylpolysiloxane having a polyalkylene oxide unit can be preferably used. The polyalkylene oxide unit is, for example, a polyethylene oxide unit or a polypropylene oxide unit, and the dimethylpolysiloxane may have both a polyethylene oxide unit and a polypropylene oxide unit.

[0147] The bonding form of the polyalkylene oxide unit with the dimethylpolysiloxane may be any of a pendant type in which the polyalkylene oxide unit is bonded to the repeating unit of the dimethylpolysiloxane, a terminal modified type in which the polyalkylene oxide unit is bonded to the terminal of the dimethylpolysiloxane, and a linear block copolymer type in which the polyalkylene oxide unit is bonded alternately and repeatedly to the dimethylpolysiloxane. Dimethylpolysiloxanes having polyalkylene oxide units are commercially available from Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd., and examples thereof include FZ-2110, FZ-2122, FZ-2130, FZ-2166, FZ-2191, FZ-2203, and FZ-2207.

[0148] The leveling agent may contain an anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactant as a supplement. Two or more types of surfactants may be mixed together.

[0152] <Adhesion improver> The coloring composition of the present invention can contain an adhesion improver such as a silane coupling agent in order to improve adhesion to a substrate.

The adhesion improver can be used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the colorant in the coloring composition. Within this range, the effect is large, and a good balance of adhesion, resolution, and sensitivity is achieved, which is more preferable.

[0154] <Organic solvent> The coloring composition of the present invention may contain an organic solvent in order to facilitate the sufficient dispersion and penetration of the colorant into the colorant carrier and the application of the composition onto a substrate such as a glass substrate to form a filter segment.

[0155] Examples of the organic solvent include ethyl lactate, benzyl alcohol, 1,2,3-trichloropropane, 1,3-butanediol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol diacetate, 1,4-dioxane, 2-heptanone, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone, 3-ethoxyethyl propionate, 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, and 3-methoxy-3-methylbutyl acetate. acetate, 3-methoxy-1-butanol, 3-methoxybutyl acetate, 4-heptanone, m-xylene, m-diethylbenzene, m-dichlorobenzene, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, n-butyl alcohol, n-butylbenzene, n-propyl acetate, o-xylene, o-chlorotoluene, o-diethylbenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, p-chlorotoluene, p-diethylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, tert-butylbenzene, gamma-butyrolactone, isobutyl alcohol, isophorone , ethylene glycol diethyl ether, ethylene glycol dibutyl ether, ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monotertiary butyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monohexyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diisobutyl ketone, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanol acetate, cyclohexanone, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate,Dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether, dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, diacetone alcohol, triacetin, tripropylene glycol monobutyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol diacetate, propylene glycol phenyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monopropyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether propionate, benzyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methylcyclohexanol, n-amyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, propyl acetate, and dibasic acid esters.

[0156] Among these, 3-methoxy-1-butanol, ethyl lactate, glycol acetates such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, aromatic alcohols such as benzyl alcohol, and ketones such as cyclohexanone are preferably used because they provide good dispersion and dissolution of the pigment. In particular, from the viewpoints of safety and hygiene and low viscosity, it is more preferable to use 3-methoxy-1-butanol or propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMAc).

[0157] These organic solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more. When a mixed solvent of two or more kinds is used, it is preferable that the above-mentioned preferred organic solvent is contained in an amount of 65 to 95 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the organic solvent.

[0158] The organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 800 to 4000 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the colorant, since it adjusts the viscosity of the coloring composition to an appropriate level and enables the formation of a film with a desired uniform thickness.

[0159] <Method of producing colored composition> The coloring composition of the present invention can be prepared by mixing the above-mentioned components. In the preparation, the components may be mixed at once, or may be mixed successively after dissolving or dispersing the components in an organic solvent. For example, a colorant, a dispersing aid, a resin, an organic solvent, etc. are added and a dispersion treatment is performed. Then, if necessary, a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, etc. are mixed and mixed to produce the coloring composition. The timing of mixing the components is arbitrary. The dispersion treatment can also be performed multiple times.

[0160] Examples of dispersing machines for carrying out the dispersion treatment include a two-roll mill, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, a horizontal sand mill, a vertical sand mill, an annular bead mill, and an attritor.

[0161] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) of the particles in the coloring composition is preferably from 30 to 200 nm, more preferably from 40 to 200 nm. If the particles have an appropriate particle size, a coloring composition having high dispersion stability is easily obtained.

[0162] 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 organic solvent 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.

[0163] The coloring composition 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, filtration with a sintered filter or membrane filter, etc. The coloring composition of the present invention preferably does not substantially contain particles of 0.5 μm or more, and more preferably does not contain particles of 0.3 μm or less.

[0164] <Removal of large particles> The 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 coloring composition does not substantially contain particles of 0.5 μm or more. More preferably, the particles are 0.3 μm or less.

[0165] <Water content in color composition> The coloring composition of the present invention preferably has a water content of 2% by mass or less. When the water content of the coloring composition is within the above range, the coloring composition has excellent dispersion stability and sensitivity even after storage over time. The water content in the colored composition is preferably 1.8% by mass or less, and more preferably 1.6% by mass or less. If the water content is sufficiently low within this range, problems are unlikely to occur in dispersion stability and sensitivity even after storage over time.

[0166] The method for controlling the water content is not particularly limited, and a known method can be used. For example, a method of producing a colored composition while blowing in a dry inert gas, a method of dehydrating the colored composition by adding molecular sieves after production, etc. are included. Among them, the method of producing the colored composition while blowing in a dry inert gas is preferred. The water content can be measured by a known method such as the Karl Fischer method.

[0167] <Amount of toluene in colored composition> The coloring composition of the present invention may contain toluene, and when it does contain toluene, the content of toluene is preferably 0.1 to 10 mass ppm. The upper limit of the toluene content is preferably 9 mass ppm or less, more preferably 8 mass ppm or less, and even more preferably 7 mass ppm or less. The lower limit is preferably 0.2 mass ppm or more, more preferably 0.3 mass ppm or more, and even more preferably 0.4 mass ppm or more.

[0168] <Membrane> The coloring composition of the present invention can be used for optical filters and the like by forming a film (also called a coating film). The film can be used in a state of being laminated on a substrate, or the film can be peeled off from the substrate. The film can be either a flat film or a film having a pattern formed thereon, but a film having a pattern formed thereon is preferred.

[0169] [Membrane manufacturing method] The method for producing the film is not particularly limited, and any known method can be used. For example, the film can be produced through a step of coating the colored composition of the present invention on a substrate.

[0170] The substrate may be, for example, a substrate made of a material such as glass, resin, or silicon. An organic light-emitting layer may be formed on the substrate. An imaging element such as a CCD or CMOS may be formed on the substrate. If necessary, an undercoat layer may be provided on the substrate to improve adhesion with an upper layer, prevent diffusion of substances, and flatten the substrate surface.

[0171] The coating method may be a known method, such as a dropping method, a slit coating method, a spray method, a roll coating method, a spin coating method, a casting coating method, an inkjet method, flexographic printing, screen printing, gravure printing, or offset printing.

[0172] The thickness of the membrane can be appropriately adjusted depending on the purpose, and is preferably 0.05 to 20.0 μm, more preferably 0.3 to 10.0 μm.

[0173] Next, a pattern is formed. Examples of a method for forming a pattern include a photolithography method and a dry etching method. When the film is used as a flat film, the step of forming a pattern is not necessary, and the film is dried as necessary after coating.

[0174] The method for forming the pattern will now be described in detail.

[0175] (When forming patterns using photolithography) When forming a pattern by photolithography, a layer formed by applying the coloring composition of the present invention on a substrate is dried (pre-baked) as necessary, and then exposed to light in a pattern through a mask (exposure step), and the unexposed parts are removed by alkaline development (development step), and the pattern is then heat-treated (post-bake step) as necessary.

[0176] [Exposure process] In the exposure step, the layer formed by coating is exposed to a specific pattern through a mask using an exposure device such as a stepper. This allows the exposed portion to be cured. Examples of active energy rays used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as g-rays (wavelength 436 nm), h-rays (wavelength 405 nm), and i-rays (wavelength 365 nm). Light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less can also be used. Examples of light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less include KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF (wavelength 193 nm). In addition, the exposure may be performed by continuous irradiation with light, or by repeating irradiation and pause of light in a short cycle (for example, on the order of milliseconds or less) (pulse exposure).

[0177] [Development process] Next, an alkali development process is carried out, whereby the unexposed portions of the layer are dissolved in an aqueous alkali solution, and only the hardened portions remain, yielding a patterned film. Examples of alkaline developers include alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene. The concentration of the alkaline developer is preferably 0.001 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.01 to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkaline developer is preferably 11 to 13, more preferably 11.5 to 12.5. When used at an appropriate pH, it suppresses roughening and peeling of the pattern and improves the remaining film rate after development. Examples of the developing method include a dipping method, a spraying method, a puddle method, etc. The developing temperature is preferably 15 to 40° C. After the alkaline development, it is preferable to wash with pure water.

[0178] [Post-bake process] After development, a heat treatment (post-baking) can be carried out as necessary, which improves the resistance of the film. The temperature is preferably 80 to 300° C. The time is preferably about 2 minutes to 1 hour. When a material with low heat resistance is used for the substrate or when an organic electroluminescence element is used as the light source, the temperature is preferably 150° C. or less, and more preferably 130° C. or less.

[0179] (When forming patterns using dry etching) When forming a pattern by dry etching, for example, the coloring composition of the present invention is applied onto a substrate, and the layer formed is heated and cured. Next, a patterned photoresist layer is formed on the cured film, and then the patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask to perform dry etching on the cured film using an etching gas. For pattern formation by dry etching, the method described in JP2013-064993A can be referred to.

[0180] <Optical filters> The film can be used as an optical filter. The optical filter can be used as, for example, a color filter which is a component of a liquid crystal display device, a solid-state imaging device, an organic EL display device, etc., or an infrared cut filter, an infrared transmission filter, etc. which is a component of an infrared sensor, etc. <Color filters> The color filter includes a red filter segment, a green filter segment, and a blue filter segment, and may further include a magenta filter segment, a cyan filter segment, and a yellow filter segment.

[0181] <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.

[0182] A color LCD is manufactured by laminating the color filter to the opposing substrate using a sealant, injecting liquid crystal through the injection port provided in the seal, sealing the injection port, and laminating a polarizing film or retardation film on the outside of the substrate as necessary. This color LCD can be used in LCD 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).

[0183] The color filter of the present invention 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.

[0184] <Liquid crystal display device> A liquid crystal display device equipped with the color filter of the present invention will now be described. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention comprises the color filter of the present invention and a light source. Examples of light sources include cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) and white LEDs, but in the present invention, it is preferable to use a white LED because it broadens the red reproduction range.
