Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a colored composition for a color filter, a color filter, a liquid crystal display device, and a solid-state imaging device.
Background Art
[0002] A color liquid crystal display device is a display device that performs display by controlling the degree of polarization of light passing through a first polarizing plate by a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between two polarizing plates and controlling the amount of light passing through the second polarizing plate. A color filter is provided between the two polarizing plates of the liquid crystal display device, enabling color display. Therefore, liquid crystal display devices have been developed for use in televisions and personal computer monitors.
[0003] Quality items required for a colored composition for a color filter include contrast ratio and luminance. In recent years, quality items such as filterability and crystalline foreign matter have also become more important. In the production of a colored composition for a color filter, there is a filtration step in the final process. If coarse particles remain, the filtration filter must be frequently replaced, and the filtration processing speed will be significantly reduced. In addition, in the post-baking step in the color filter manufacturing process, especially red pigments have the problem of generating crystalline foreign matter.
[0004] Generally, in a pigment dispersion method using a pigment excellent in heat resistance and weather resistance as a colorant, it is difficult to disperse fine pigment particles in a colorant carrier such as a varnish to obtain a stable colored composition. The pigment particles therein often aggregate over time, or a phenomenon called over-dispersion may occur, in which primary particles are crushed and the particle diameter becomes finer than the primary particle diameter, exposing the active surface. A colored composition in which pigment particles have aggregated significantly reduces the filterability, and an over-dispersed colored composition generates crystalline foreign matter. As a result, productivity and quality are significantly reduced. Therefore, high filterability and suppression of crystalline foreign matter are very important.
[0005] In recent years, the pixel size of liquid crystal display devices has been reduced. For finer foreign matter removal, the pore size of the filter has become smaller, and extremely high-level filtration performance is required. In addition, they are now used in various environments, and high light resistance is also demanded. Furthermore, customers who want to reduce the risk of failure in production lines and refrigerators require storage stability under temperature fluctuations. Patent Document 1 discloses quinophthalone-based pigment derivatives excellent in dispersibility, contrast, heat resistance, and lightness, but there is no description regarding filtration performance, light resistance, or storage stability under temperature changes.

[0036] Furthermore, dyes include acid dyes having acidic groups such as sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid; in the case of direct dyes, inorganic salts of acid dyes; salt-forming compounds of acid dyes with quaternary ammonium salt compounds, tertiary amine compounds, secondary amine compounds, or primary amine compounds; salt-forming compounds of these resin components having amino groups with acid dyes, etc. Salt-forming compounds of acid dyes with compounds having an onium base are also preferred because of their excellent fastness. Note that as the compound having an onium base, a resin having a cationic group in the side chain is preferred.
[0037] Basic dyes include salt-forming compounds with organic acids, perchloric acid, or metal salts thereof. Among the salt-forming compounds, the salt-forming compounds of basic dyes are preferred because of their excellent various resistances and compatibility with pigments.
[0038] The chemical structures of the dyes include, for example, azo dyes, disazo dyes, azomethine dyes (such as indoaniline dyes and indophenol dyes), dipyrromethene dyes, quinone dyes (such as benzoquinone dyes, naphthoquinone dyes, anthraquinone dyes, and anthrapyridone dyes), carbonium dyes (such as diphenylmethane dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, and acridine dyes), quinoneimine dyes (such as oxazine dyes and thiazine dyes), azine dyes, polymethine dyes (such as oxonol dyes, merocyanine dyes, arylidene dyes, styryl dyes, cyanine dyes, squarylium dyes, and croconium dyes), quinophthalone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, subphthalocyanine dyes, perinone dyes, indigo dyes, thioindigo dyes, quinoline dyes, nitro dyes, nitroso dyes, rhodamine dyes, and the like. Among these, from the viewpoint of color characteristics such as hue, color separation property, 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. The specific structures of the dyes are described in "New Edition Dye Handbook" (edited by the Organic Synthetic Chemistry Association; Maruzen, 1970), "Color Index" (The Society of Dyers and colourists), "Pigment Handbook" (edited by Ohkawara et al.; Kodansha, 1986), and the like.
[0039] In the present invention, when other colorants other than the red pigment (A) are used in combination, the red pigment (A) is preferably in the range of 40% by mass to 100% by mass based on the total amount of the colorants (100% by mass). More preferably, it is in the range of 50% by mass to 100% by mass. When the red pigment (A) is 40% by mass or more, the storage stability is excellent.
[0040] (Micronization of the pigment) When using a pigment as a colorant, it is preferable to perform a micronization treatment and then mix it with other raw materials. Examples of the micronization treatment method include wet grinding, dry grinding, solution precipitation method, etc. Among these, salt milling treatment by a kneader method, which is a type of wet grinding, is preferable. The average primary particle size of the pigment after the micronization treatment is preferably 10 to 80 nm, more preferably 15 to 70 nm. With an appropriate particle size, the dispersibility is further improved, and the contrast ratio of the coating film is further improved. The average primary particle size is the average value of about 20 particles arbitrarily selected from the enlarged image of a TEM (transmission electron microscope). When there are a longitudinal axis length and a transverse axis length of the particle, the longitudinal axis length is used.
[0041] Salt milling treatment 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 heating using a batch-type or continuous kneader such as a kneader, a two-roll mill, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, an attritor, a sand mill, a planetary mixer, etc., 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 by utilizing the high hardness of the inorganic salt during salt milling. By optimizing the conditions for the salt milling treatment of the pigment, a pigment with a very fine primary particle size, a narrow distribution width, and a sharp particle size distribution can be obtained.
[0042] Examples of the water-soluble inorganic salt include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, etc. Among these, sodium chloride (table salt) is preferable from the viewpoint of price. The amount of the water-soluble inorganic salt used is preferably 50 to 2000 parts by mass, more preferably 300 to 1000 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the pigment, from both the treatment efficiency and the production efficiency aspects.
[0043] The water-soluble organic solvent wets the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt. The water-soluble organic solvent is a compound that dissolves (mixes) in water and does not substantially dissolve the water-soluble inorganic salt. As for the water-soluble organic solvent, a high-boiling solvent with a boiling point of 120 °C or higher is preferable in that it is difficult 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, liquid polypropylene glycol, and the like. The usage amount of the water-soluble organic solvent is preferably 5 to 1000 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 500 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0044] During the salt milling treatment, a resin can be added as needed. Examples of the resin include natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, synthetic resins modified with natural resins, and the like. The resin is preferably solid at room temperature and water-insoluble, and more preferably partially soluble in the water-soluble organic solvent. The usage amount of the resin is preferably 5 to 200 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0045] <Dye Derivative (B)>
[0046] The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention contains, as the dye derivative (B), either a quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1) represented by the following general formula (1), a quinoline-based dye derivative (B2) represented by the following general formula (2), or a quinoline-based dye derivative (B3) represented by the following general formula (3).
[0047] General formula (1) [Chemical formula] [In general formula (1), R1 to R 13 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an alkoxyl group which may have a substituent, -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH. However, at least one of R1 to R 13 is -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH.]
[0048] General formula (2) [Chemical formula] [In general formula (2), R 21 to R 33 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an alkoxyl group which may have a substituent, -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH. However, at least one of R 21 to R 33 is -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH.]
[0049] General formula (3) [Chemical formula] [In general formula (3), R 41 to R 53 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aryl group which may have a substituent, an alkoxyl group which may have a substituent, -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH. However, at least one of R 41 to R 53At least one of them is -SO3H, -COOH, a metal salt of -SO3H or -COOH, or an alkylammonium salt of -SO3H or -COOH.
[0050] In the present invention, by using a quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1) and a quinoline-based dye derivative (B2) or (B3) in combination as the dye derivative (B), compared with the case of using a conventionally known derivative, a coloring composition for a color filter having high storage stability and good compatibility even under temperature fluctuations can be provided. Although the reason for this is not clear, the present inventor considers as follows.
[0051] The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention contains a dispersion medium such as a binder resin and an organic solvent described later, and various additives. Compounds having various polarities and physical properties are selected as the binder resin and additives used at this time according to the required functions. Dye derivatives having many aromatic groups and cyclic structures, such as quinophthalone-based dye derivatives (B1), have high hydrophobicity and high affinity with red pigments (A) and highly hydrophobic dispersion media and additives, while having low affinity with highly hydrophilic dispersion media and additives. Therefore, in applications that require highly hydrophilic dispersion media and additives, the storage stability deteriorates in a harsh environment where the temperature fluctuates. Also, dye derivatives having many carboxy groups, amide groups, and carbonyl groups, such as quinoline-based dye derivatives (B2) and (B3), have high affinity with highly hydrophilic dispersion media and additives, while having low affinity with red pigments (A) and highly hydrophobic dispersion media and additives. Therefore, in applications that require highly hydrophobic dispersion media and additives, the storage stability deteriorates in a harsh environment where the temperature fluctuates. Thus, by using at least two of a quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1) and a quinoline-based dye derivative (B2) or (B3) having different affinities for various dispersion media and additives in combination, the compatibility with various compounds contained as a coloring composition for a color filter becomes good, and it is considered that the storage stability is good even in a harsh environment where the temperature fluctuates.
[0052] In addition, for the dye derivative (B) used in the coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention, it is preferable that the mass ratio of the quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1) to the quinoline-based dye derivatives (B2) and (B3) satisfies the following formula [1]. [1] 10% ≦ mass of (B1) / (mass of (B1) + mass of (B2) + mass of (B3)) ≦ 90%
[0053] As the range of formula [1], more preferably, [1] 25% ≦ mass of (B1) / (mass of (B1) + mass of (B2) + mass of (B3)) ≦ 75% That is. By setting the mass ratio of the quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1), the quinoline-based dye derivatives (B2) and (B3) within the above range, a coloring composition for a color filter with high storage stability can be obtained even under temperature fluctuations.
[0054] The method for synthesizing the quinophthalone-based dye derivative (B1) is not particularly limited, and examples include a method of reacting sulfuric acid with C.I. Pigment Yellow 138 as disclosed in Example 1 of Patent 4585781. Also, the method for synthesizing the quinoline-based dye derivatives (B2) and (B3) is not particularly limited, and examples include a method of reacting sulfuric acid with C.I. Pigment Yellow 138 and then heating and stirring under alkaline conditions as disclosed in Patent 4396210. When the synthesized compound contains impurities, the impurities may be removed by recrystallization, reprecipitation, filtration, washing, preparative liquid chromatography, or the like.
[0055] The mass ratio of the red pigment (A) to the dye derivative (B) is preferably in the range of (A):(B) = 70:30 to 98:2, and more preferably in the range of (A):(B) = 80:20 to 95:5. When the ratio of the dye derivative (B) is within this range, it is excellent in storage stability, filterability, and light resistance.

The stable nitroxyl free radical is not particularly limited, and examples include 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy radical (TEMPO), 2,2,6,6-tetraethyl-1-piperidinyloxy radical, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-1-piperidinyloxy radical, 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyloxy radical, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-isoindolinyl-oxy radical, N,N-di-t-butylamine oxy radical, etc. Instead of the nitroxyl free radical, a stable free radical such as galvinoxyl free radical may be used.
[0134] The above radical capping agent is used in combination with a radical polymerization initiator. The combined ratio of the two is not particularly limited, but 0.1 to 10 moles of the radical initiator is suitable for 1 mole of the radical capping agent.
[0135] The above radical polymerization initiator is appropriately selected according to the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin to be synthesized. However, it is used in a ratio of 0.0001 to 1 mole, preferably 0.001 to 0.1 mole, per 1 mole of the (meth)acryloyl group in the monomer used when synthesizing the acrylic block copolymer.
[0136] As the radical polymerization initiator, known ones can be used, and there is no particular limitation as long as it is a compound capable of generating radicals under the polymerization temperature conditions. For example, dialkyl peroxides such as di-t-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, t-butyl cumyl peroxide, α,α'-bis(t-butylperoxy-m-isopropyl)benzene, 2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexyne-3; Peroxy esters such as t-butyl peroxybenzoate, t-butyl peroxyacetate, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(benzoylperoxy)hexane; Ketone peroxides such as cyclohexanone peroxide, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone peroxide, methylcyclohexanone peroxide; Peroxyketals such as 2,2-bis(4,4-di-t-butylperoxycyclohexyl)propane, 1,1-bis(t-butylperoxy)3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, 1,1-bis(t-butylperoxy)cyclohexane, n-butyl-4,4-bis(t-butylperoxy)valerate; Hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, 2,5-dimethylcyclohexane-2,5-dihydroperoxide; Diacyl peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, decanoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide; Organic peroxides such as peroxydicarbonates such as bis(t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate, or mixtures thereof may be mentioned.
[0137] Also, an azo compound can also be used as a radical polymerization initiator. For example, 2,2'-azobisbutyronitriles such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), 2,2'-azobisvaleronitriles such as 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobispropionitriles such as 2,2'-azobis(2-hydroxymethylpropionitrile), 1,1'-azobis-1-alkanenitriles such as 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexane-1-carbonitrile) can be used.
[0138] Furthermore, as reported in Macromolecules 1995, 28, 2993 instead of using a radical capping agent and the above radical polymerization initiator in combination, an alkoxyamine compound represented by the following compounds (N-1 to 4) may be used as an initiator.

[0142] (N - 4) [Chemical formula]
[0143] In the process of producing an acrylic block copolymer, a solventless or solvent can be used depending on the case. Examples of the solvent include ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, toluene, xylene, acetone, hexane, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, etc., but are not particularly limited thereto. These polymerization solvents may be used as a mixture of two or more kinds.
[0144] The amount of the solvent used is preferably 0 to 300 parts by mass, more preferably 0 to 100 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the monomers composed of block A and block B. The solvent used can be removed by operations such as distillation after the reaction is completed, or can be used as it is as part of the product of the composition.
[0145] The content of block A in the acrylic block copolymer solid content is preferably 1 to 99% by mass, more preferably 20 to 50% by mass, and particularly preferably 20 to 30% by mass. When block A contains 20 to 30% by mass, the remaining 70 to 80% by mass constitutes block B. Therefore, since block B has an affinity for the solvent which is the dispersion medium, the pigment can be stably present in the dispersion medium.
[0146] In addition, the amount of the structural units represented by general formulas (2) to (4) in 1 g of the acrylic block copolymer that can be used in the present invention is preferably usually 0.1 to 5 mmol, and within this range, lightness and dispersibility can be better balanced.
[0147] Although it depends on the types of the structural units represented by general formulas (2) to (4), the acrylic block copolymer in the present invention more preferably has an amine value of 30 to 350 mgKOH / g. When the amine value is 30 mgKOH / g or more, the viscosity and storage stability of the coloring composition are excellent, and when it is 350 mgKOH / g or less, the lightness is excellent.
[0148] In addition, the molecular weight of the acrylic block copolymer in the present invention is preferably in the range of usually 1,000 or more and 100,000 or less in terms of weight average in terms of polystyrene. When the molecular weight of the acrylic block copolymer is less than 1,000, the dispersion stability decreases, and when it exceeds 100,000, the developability tends to decrease.
[0149] <Organic solvent (D)> (Organic solvent (D1)) The organic solvent (D) used in the present invention is characterized by containing an organic solvent (D1) having a hydroxyl group and a boiling point of 100°C to 200°C at 760 mmHg. By using this specific organic solvent having a boiling point and structure, the affinity of the red pigment (A) and the quinophthalone-based pigment derivative (B1), quinoline-based pigment derivative (B2), and quinoline-based pigment derivative (B3) contained in the coloring composition becomes better, the generation of foreign matters can be suppressed, and high stability and filterability can be exhibited as the coloring composition.
[0150] In addition, when an organic solvent having a boiling point of 100°C or higher is used, appropriate drying properties are obtained, and changes in the solvent composition ratio and non-volatile content are less likely to occur during production, storage, and use, which is preferable. When an organic solvent having a boiling point of 200°C or lower is used, it is easy to dry when forming a thin film of the coloring composition. Therefore, when the coating liquid is applied by the spin coating method, it is difficult to form a liquid bulge at the end of the substrate, and in the drying process from the end of the spin to the drying process, the bulged part of the liquid smoothly progresses from the end of the substrate toward the center, so that a frame-shaped color unevenness (film thickness unevenness) is difficult to form. Further, also in the die coating method, since it is difficult to form a bulged part of the liquid at the coating boundary part, there is an effect that a frame-shaped color unevenness (film thickness unevenness) is difficult to form due to the smooth progress from the boundary part toward the center.
[0151] In the present invention, the content of the organic solvent (D1) is preferably 1 to 30% by weight, more preferably 5 to 20% by weight, based on the total amount of the organic solvent (D) (100% by weight). When the content of the organic solvent (D1) is within this range, the storage stability and filterability are excellent.
[0152] When the organic solvent (D1) is exemplified together with <boiling point (°C)>, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate <188>, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate <145>, cyclohexanol acetate <173>, cyclohexanone <155>, propylene glycol diacetate <190>, propylene glycol monomethyl ether <121>, 3-methoxybutanol <161>, etc. can be mentioned. Particularly preferred solvents include propylene glycol monomethyl ether, 3-methoxybutanol, etc.

[0161] The photopolymerizable monomer can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0162] The blending amount of the photopolymerizable monomer is preferably 1 to 50% by mass, more preferably 2 to 40 parts by mass, in 100% by mass of the nonvolatile content of the coloring composition. When an appropriate amount is blended, the curability and developability are further improved.

[0166] (Oxime ester compounds) The oxime ester compound absorbs ultraviolet rays, causing the cleavage of the N - O bond of the oxime to generate iminyl radicals and alkyloxy radicals. These radicals further decompose to generate highly active radicals, so that a pattern can be formed with a small exposure amount. When the colorant concentration of the colored composition is high, the ultraviolet transmittance of the coating film may be low and the degree of curing of the coating film may be low. However, the oxime ester compound has a high quantum efficiency and is preferably used.;

[0171] The content of the photoinitiator is preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 0.2 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the nonvolatile content of the colorable composition. When blended in an appropriate amount, the photocurability and the resistance to the developer are improved, and the surface state is improved.
[0172] <Sensitizer> Furthermore, the colorable composition for a color filter of the present invention may contain a sensitizer. Examples of the sensitizer include chalcone derivatives, unsaturated ketones typified by dibenzalacetone, 1,2-diketone derivatives typified by benzyl and camphorquinone, benzoin derivatives, fluorene derivatives, naphthoquinone derivatives, anthraquinone derivatives, xanthene derivatives, thioxanthene derivatives, xanthone derivatives, thioxanthone derivatives, coumarin derivatives, ketocoumarin derivatives, polymethine dyes such as cyanine derivatives, merocyanine derivatives, oxonol derivatives, acridine derivatives, azine derivatives, thiazine derivatives, oxazine derivatives, indoline derivatives, azulene derivatives, azulenium derivatives, squarylium derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives, triarylmethane derivatives, tetrabenzoporphyrin derivatives, tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine derivatives, phthalocyanine derivatives, tetraazaporphyrazine derivatives, tetraquinoxalyloporphyrazine derivatives, naphthalocyanine derivatives, subphthalocyanine derivatives, pyrylium derivatives, thiopyrylium derivatives, tetraphyllin derivatives, annulene derivatives, spiropyran derivatives, spirooxazine derivatives, thiospiropyran derivatives, metal arene complexes, organoruthenium complexes, or Michler's ketone derivatives, α-acyloxy esters, acylphosphine oxides, methylphenylglyoxylate, benzyl, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, camphorquinone, ethylanthraquinone, 4,4'-diethylisophthalophenone, 3,3' or 4,4'-tetra(t-butylperoxycarbonyl)benzophenone, 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, and the like.

More specifically, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, 2,4-dichlorothioxanthone, 2-isopropylthioxanthone, 4-isopropylthioxanthone, 1-chloro-4-propoxythioxanthone, 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone, 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, 4,4'-bis(ethylmethylamino)benzophenone, N-ethylcarbazole, 3-benzoyl-N-ethylcarbazole, 3,6-dibenzoyl-N-ethylcarbazole, etc. are used.
[0174] More specifically, the sensitizers described in Noboru Okawara et al. (eds.), "Dye Handbook" (1986, Kodansha), Noboru Okawara et al. (eds.), "Chemistry of Functional Dyes" (1981, CMC), Chuichiro Ikemori et al. (eds.), and "Special Functional Materials" (1986, CMC) are included, but not limited to these. In addition, other sensitizers that exhibit absorption for light from ultraviolet to near-infrared regions can also be contained.
[0175] The sensitizer can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0176] The content of the sensitizer is preferably 3 to 60 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 50 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the photopolymerization initiator. When contained in an appropriate amount, the curability and developability are further improved.
[0177] <Thiol-based chain transfer agent> The colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention preferably contains a thiol-based chain transfer agent as a chain transfer agent. By using a thiol together with a photopolymerization initiator, in the radical polymerization process after light irradiation, a thiyl radical that acts as a chain transfer agent and is less susceptible to polymerization inhibition by oxygen is generated, so that the resulting colorant composition has high sensitivity.
[0178] Also, polyfunctional aliphatic thiols in which a thiol group is bonded to an aliphatic group such as methylene or ethylene group having two or more thiol groups are preferred. More preferably, it is a polyfunctional aliphatic thiol having four or more thiol groups. By increasing the number of functional groups, the polymerization initiation function is improved, and it is possible to cure from the surface to the vicinity of the substrate in the pattern.
[0179] Examples of the polyfunctional thiol include hexanedithiol, decanedithiol, 1,4-butanediol bisthiopropionate, 1,4-butanediol bisthioglycolate, ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate, ethylene glycol bisthiopropionate, trimethylolpropane tristhioglycolate, trimethylolpropane tristhiopropionate, trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tetrakisthioglycolate, pentaerythritol tetrakisthiopropionate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate trimercaptopropionate, 1,4-dimethylmercaptobenzene, 2,4,6-trimercapto-s-triazine, 2-(N,N-dibutylamino)-4,6-dimercapto-s-triazine, etc. Preferably, ethylene glycol bisthiopropionate, trimethylolpropane tristhiopropionate, and pentaerythritol tetrakisthiopropionate are mentioned.
[0180] The thiol-based chain transfer agent can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0181] The content of the thiol-based chain transfer agent is preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 3% by mass, in 100% by mass of the non-volatile content of the coloring composition. When contained in an appropriate amount, the photosensitivity and taper shape are improved, and wrinkles are less likely to occur on the film surface.
[0182] <Polymerization inhibitor> The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention can contain a polymerization inhibitor. Thereby, since the photosensitivity due to the diffracted light of the mask can be suppressed during the exposure of the photolithography method, it becomes easier to obtain a pattern having a desired shape.

[0192] <Antioxidant> The colored composition for a color filter of the present invention can contain an antioxidant. The antioxidant can prevent the photoinitiator and thermosetting compound contained in the colored composition from being oxidized and yellowed by the heat treatment during thermosetting or ITO annealing, thereby improving the transmittance of the coating film. In particular, when the colorant concentration of the colored composition is high, since the amount of the crosslinking component in the coating film is small, a phenomenon in which yellowing during the heat treatment becomes stronger due to measures such as using a highly sensitive crosslinking component or increasing the amount of the photoinitiator is observed. Therefore, by including an antioxidant, yellowing due to oxidation during the heating process can be prevented, and a high transmittance of the coating film can be obtained.
[0193] Examples of the antioxidant include compounds of the hindered phenol type, hindered amine type, phosphorus type, sulfur type, and hydroxylamine type. In this specification, the antioxidant is preferably a compound that does not contain a halogen atom.
[0194] Among these, from the viewpoint of achieving both the transmittance and sensitivity of the coating film, hindered phenol type antioxidants, hindered amine type antioxidants, phosphorus type antioxidants, and sulfur type antioxidants are preferred.
[0195] The antioxidant can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0196] Also, when the content of the antioxidant is 0.5 to 5.0% by mass in 100% by mass of the solid content of the colored composition, it is more preferable because the transmittance, spectral characteristics, and sensitivity are good.
[0197] <Levelling agent> In the colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention, it is preferable to add a leveling agent for the purpose of improving the coatability of the composition on a transparent substrate and the drying property of the colored film.

[0210] When the coloring composition of the present invention contains a surfactant, the addition amount of the surfactant is preferably 0.001 to 2.0% by mass, more preferably 0.005 to 1.0% by mass, based on the total solid content of the composition of the present invention. By being within this range, the balance of the coatability, pattern adhesion, and transmittance of the coloring composition becomes good. The coloring composition of the present invention may contain only one type of surfactant or may contain two or more types of surfactants. When two or more types are contained, it is preferable that the total amount thereof is within the above range.
[0211] <Storage Stabilizer> In the colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention, a storage stabilizer can be contained in order to stabilize the viscosity of the colorant composition over time. Examples of the storage stabilizer include quaternary ammonium chlorides such as benzyltrimethyl 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. The storage stabilizer can be used in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by mass based on the total amount of the colorant (100% by mass).
[0212] <Adhesion improver> In the colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention, an adhesion improver such as a silane coupling agent can be contained in order to enhance the adhesion to a substrate. By improving the adhesion with the adhesion improver, the reproducibility of fine lines becomes good and the resolution is improved.
[0213] Examples of the adhesion promoter include silane coupling agents such as vinyl silanes such as vinyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltriethoxysilane; (meth)acrylic silanes such as 3-methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane, and 3-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane; epoxy silanes such as 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane; aminosilanes such as N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-2-(aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N-(1,3-dimethyl-butylidene)propylamine, N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and hydrochloride of N-(vinylbenzyl)-2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane; mercaptans such as 3-mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane; styryls such as p-styryltrimethoxysilane; ureides such as 3-ureidopropyltriethoxysilane; sulfides such as bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide; and isocyanates such as 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane.
[0214] The adhesion promoter can be used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 0.05 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the colorant in the coloring composition. Using it within this range is more preferable because the effect is enhanced and the balance of adhesion, resolution, and sensitivity is good.
[0215] <Method for producing the coloring composition> The colored composition for color filters of the present invention can be produced by finely dispersing a colorant in a colorant carrier such as a dispersant and a binder resin and / or a solvent, preferably together with a dispersion aid (dye derivative or surfactant), using various dispersion means 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 (colorant dispersion). At this time, two or more colorants etc. may be dispersed in the colorant carrier simultaneously, or those separately dispersed in the colorant carrier may be mixed. When the solubility of the colorant such as a dye is high, specifically, when the solubility in the solvent to be used is high and dissolution is confirmed by stirring and no foreign matter is observed, it is not necessary to produce by finely dispersing as described above.
[0216] Also, when used as a photosensitive colored composition (resist material) for color filters, it can be prepared as a solvent-developable or alkali-developable colored composition. The solvent-developable or alkali-developable colored composition can be prepared by mixing the above-mentioned colorant dispersion, a photopolymerizable monomer and / or a photoinitiator, and, if necessary, a solvent, other dispersion aids, and additives etc. The photoinitiator may be added at the stage of preparing the colored composition, or may be added later to the prepared colored composition.
[0217] <Removal of Coarse Particles> The colored composition for color filters of the present invention is preferably subjected to removal of coarse particles of 5 μm or more, preferably 1 μm or more, more preferably 0.5 μm or more and mixed dust by means such as centrifugation at a gravitational acceleration of 3000 to 25000 G, filtration with a sintered filter or a membrane filter. Thus, it is preferable that the colored composition substantially does not contain particles of 0.5 μm or more. More preferably, it is 0.3 μm or less.
[0218] <Water Content in the Colored Composition> The colored composition for color filters of the present invention preferably has a water content of 0.1 to 2.0 mass% with respect to the whole colored composition.
[0219] When the coloring composition has a water content within the above range, it exhibits excellent dispersion stability and sensitivity even after storage over time.
[0220] The water content in the coloring composition is preferably 1.8% by mass or less, more preferably 1.6% by mass or less. With such a sufficiently small amount of water in this range, problems with dispersion stability and sensitivity are less likely to occur even after storage over time.
[0221] The method for controlling the water content is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. For example, methods such as manufacturing the coloring composition while blowing in dry inert gas, or adding molecular sieves for dehydration after manufacturing can be mentioned. Among them, the method of manufacturing while blowing in dry inert gas is preferred.
[0222] The water content can be measured by known methods such as the Karl Fischer method.
[0223] <Specific metal atoms in the coloring composition> In the coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention, there may be a metal component containing a small amount of Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Cr (hereinafter also referred to as specific metal atoms) in addition to the constituent components of the pigment. When there is a large amount of the metal component containing these specific metal atoms, the storage stability may be inhibited, the heat resistance may decrease, or the sensitivity may decrease when prepared in the form of a photosensitive coloring composition. In addition, a color filter prepared using a coloring composition in which there is a large amount of the metal component containing such specific metal atoms may generate foreign substances, and as a result, the transmittance is likely to decrease. The total content of the specific metal atoms in the metal component contained in the coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention is preferably 1 to 500 mass ppm with respect to the entire coloring composition.
[0224] The total amount of specific metal atoms contained in the coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention is more preferably 300 mass ppm or less, particularly preferably 200 mass ppm or less, based on the entire coloring composition. The lower limit of the total amount of specific metal atoms is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mass ppm or more, more preferably 5 mass ppm or more, based on the entire coloring composition. Within the above range, a coloring composition can be obtained that can suppress costs, has excellent storage stability, and forms a color filter with less generation of foreign matter and less reduction in transmittance.
[0225] The content of each specific metal atom contained in the coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention is preferably 100 mass ppm or less, more preferably 50 mass ppm or less, respectively, based on the entire coloring composition.
[0226] In addition, when a metal atom such as Ni, Zn, Cu, Al, Fe, or Co is contained in a part of the pigment structure, these metal atoms that do not constitute a part of the pigment structure may be present. It is better that there are also fewer such metal atoms, and they can be removed in the same manner as specific metal atoms by the following method. Furthermore, those mixed in by materials (such as catalysts) used in the manufacturing processes of various raw materials of the coloring composition, such as Mn, Cs, Ti, Co, Si, Pd, etc., are preferably present at low concentrations.
[0227] As methods for removing metal atoms mixed in from various raw materials contained in the coloring composition or from the apparatus during the manufacturing process, methods such as washing with water according to JP-A-2010-83997, JP-A-2018-36521, JP-A-7-198928, JP-A-8-333521, JP-A-2009-7432, etc., and methods for removing magnetic foreign matter using a magnet described in JP-A-2011-48736 can be mentioned, and these can be used alone or in combination as appropriate.
[0228] The content of specific metal atoms can be measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP).
[0229] <Amount of toluene in the coloring composition> The colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention may contain toluene. When it contains 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 still 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 still more preferably 0.4 mass ppm or more.
[0230] <Color filter> Next, the color filter of the present invention will be described. The color filter of the present invention includes a red filter segment, a green filter segment, and a blue filter segment. Further, the color filter may further include a magenta filter segment, a cyan filter segment, and a yellow filter segment. At least one of the red filter segment and the yellow filter segment of the color filter of the present invention is formed from the colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention. In particular, it is preferable that the red filter segment is formed from the colorant composition for a color filter of the present invention.
[0231] (Method for manufacturing a color filter) For the color filter, it is preferable to first form a black matrix on a substrate and then form filter segments. Note that a thin film transistor (TFT) can be formed on the substrate in advance and then the black matrix can be formed. Examples of the substrate include a substrate made of a material such as glass, resin, or silicon. An organic light-emitting layer may be formed on these substrates. Further, an imaging element such as a CCD or a CMOS may be formed on the substrate. Further, a undercoat layer may be provided on the substrate as necessary for improving adhesion to an upper layer, preventing diffusion of substances, and planarizing the substrate surface. Examples of the black matrix include an inorganic film such as chromium, a multilayer film of chromium / chromium oxide, titanium nitride, or a resin film in which a light-shielding agent is dispersed.
[0232] The formation of the filter segment can be produced by, for example, printing method, electrodeposition method, transfer method, inkjet method, photolithography method, dry etching method, etc.
[0233] The printing method can form a pattern only by repeating the printing and drying of the coloring composition prepared as printing ink. Therefore, as a method for manufacturing a color filter, it is low-cost and excellent in mass productivity. Furthermore, due to the development of printing technology, it is possible to print fine patterns having high dimensional accuracy and smoothness. In order to perform printing, it is preferable to have a composition such that the ink does not dry or solidify on the printing plate or on the blanket. Also, the control of the fluidity of the ink on the printing machine is important, and the viscosity of the ink can be adjusted with a dispersant or an extender pigment.
[0234] The electrodeposition method manufactures a color filter by using a transparent conductive film formed on a transparent substrate and electrodepositing filter segments of each color on the transparent conductive film by electrophoresis of colloidal particles. Also, in the transfer method, a filter segment is formed on the peeling surface of a peelable sheet. Then, this filter segment is transferred onto a transparent substrate for manufacturing.
[0235] The photolithography method involves coating a layer formed by applying the coloring composition of the present invention on a substrate, drying (pre-baking) it if necessary, then exposing it in a pattern through a mask (exposure step), removing the unexposed portion by alkali development (development step), and then heat-treating the pattern (post-baking step) if necessary.
[0236] 〔Exposure step〕 In the exposure process, the layer formed by coating is exposed to a specific pattern through a mask using an exposure apparatus such as a stepper. As a result, the exposed portion can be cured. Examples of the active energy ray used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as g-line (wavelength 436 nm), h-line (wavelength 405 nm), and i-line (wavelength 365 nm). Also, light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less can be used. Examples of light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less include KrF line (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF (wavelength 193 nm). Also, at the time of exposure, the exposure may be performed by continuously irradiating light, or the exposure may be performed by repeating the irradiation and pause of light in a short cycle (for example, at the millisecond level or less) (pulse exposure).
[0237] 〔Development process〕 Next, by performing an alkali development process, the layer of the unexposed portion is eluted into an aqueous alkali solution, and only the cured portion remains to obtain a patterned film. Examples of the alkali developer 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 alkali developer is preferably 0.001 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.01 to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkali developer is preferably 11 to 13, more preferably 11.5 to 12.5. When used at an appropriate pH, roughness and peeling of the pattern are suppressed, and the residual film rate after development is improved. Examples of the development method include a dip method, a spray method, and a paddle method. The development temperature is preferably 15 to 40°C. After alkali development, it is preferably washed with pure water.
[0238] 〔Post-bake process〕 After development, heat treatment (post-bake) can be performed as necessary. The post-bake improves the resistance of the film. The temperature is preferably 80 to 300°C.

Next, 9.3 parts of ethyl bromoisobutyrate as an initiator, 5.6 parts of cuprous chloride as a catalyst, and 133 parts of methoxypropyl acetate were charged. Under a nitrogen stream, the temperature was raised to 110 °C to initiate the polymerization of the first block (B block). After 4 hours of polymerization, the polymerization solution was sampled for solid content measurement, and it was confirmed that the polymerization conversion rate was 98% or more in terms of non-volatile content. Next, 61 parts of methoxypropyl acetate and 20 parts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as the second block (A block) monomer were added to this reactor, and the reaction was continued while stirring while maintaining the temperature at 110 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Two hours after the addition of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, the polymerization solution was sampled for solid content measurement, and it was confirmed that the polymerization conversion rate of the second block (A block) was 98% or more in terms of non-volatile content. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature to stop the polymerization. As a result of GPC measurement, the Mw of the polymer was 9900, the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn was 1.2, and the reaction conversion rate was 98.5%. In this way, an acrylic block copolymer (E-1) with an amine value of 71.4 mgKOH / g per solid content was obtained. After cooling to room temperature, about 2 g of the resin solution was sampled and dried by heating at 180 °C for 20 minutes to measure the non-volatile content. Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added to the previously synthesized block copolymer solution so that the non-volatile content became 50 mass% to prepare an acrylic block copolymer (E-1) solution.
