Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a modified polyol compound, a photosensitive resin composition, a cured resin film, a photosensitive colored composition, a color filter, and an image display element. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, from the viewpoint of resource and energy conservation, photosensitive resin compositions that can be cured by active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays and electron beams are widely used in the fields of various coatings, printing, paints, adhesives, etc. In the field of electronic materials, photosensitive resin compositions are used as solder resists for printed wiring boards and the like, and color filter resists for displays such as liquid crystal and organic EL displays.

[0003] In recent years, photosensitive resin compositions have been proposed that have low-temperature curing properties and are compatible with components with low heat resistance, such as organic electroluminescence (EL) devices. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an alkali-soluble resin that can give a cured product that has excellent solvent resistance and adhesion to substrates even under low-temperature curing conditions and that can be suitably used in applications such as color filters. The alkali-soluble resin has a structural unit (A) derived from an oxetanyl group-containing monomer, a structural unit (B) derived from an acid anhydride monomer, and a structural unit (C) derived from an acid group-containing compound adduct of a hydroxyl group-containing monomer.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-14542 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] These photosensitive resin compositions are required to have curability that allows them to cure well under low temperature conditions without causing curing failure, and good adhesion that prevents the cured product from leaching or peeling from the substrate even when exposed to various solvents in the subsequent manufacturing process.

Flow rate: 1mL / min

[0016] <Modified polyol compounds> In one embodiment, the modified polyol compound is a compound in which some of the hydroxy groups of a polyol compound have been modified to a structure having an ethylenically unsaturated group. The polyol compound has two or more aromatic rings, and at least one of the aromatic rings has one or more structures selected from a catechol structure and a pyrogallol structure. The modified polyol compound may further have a polybasic acid or an anhydride thereof added to some of the hydroxy groups of the polyol compound, as necessary.

[0017] [Polyol compounds] The polyol compound is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having multiple hydroxy groups and two or more aromatic rings, and at least one of the aromatic rings has one or more structures selected from a catechol structure and a pyrogallol structure. The catechol structure is a structure in which two hydroxy groups are bonded to a benzene ring, and the pyrogallol structure is a structure in which three hydroxy groups are bonded to a benzene ring. Therefore, the polyol compound is a compound having at least one group selected from a 2,3-dihydroxyphenyl group, a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group, a 2,3,4-trihydroxyphenyl group, and a 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl group.

[0018] Specific examples of polyol compounds include luteolin, taxifolin, myricetin, quercetin, rutin, catechin, epigallocatechin gallate, butein, piceatannol, and tannic acid. Among them, myricetin, catechin, and tannic acid are preferred because they provide good developability and good solvent resistance of the cured product when used in a photosensitive resin composition described below. In particular, compounds having four or more phenolic hydroxyl groups are preferred from the viewpoints of improving the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition by suppressing the increase in molecular weight of the alkali-soluble resin (A) described below, improving the adhesion of the cured product, and inhibiting polymerization or reaction in the formulation. In addition, tannic acid is more preferred because it has a high molecular weight and can be used as a polymer substitute.

[0019] The polyol compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0020] [Modified polyol compounds] The modified polyol compound is a compound in which at least a portion of the hydroxy groups of a polyol compound has been modified to a structure having an ethylenically unsaturated group. Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated group include a vinyl group, an allyl group, and a (meth)acryloyl group. Among these, from the viewpoint of photocurability as a photosensitive resin composition, a vinyl group and a (meth)acryloyl group are preferred, and a (meth)acryloyl group is more preferred. As the structure having an ethylenically unsaturated group, a structure having one or more selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acryloyloxy group and a vinyloxy group (CH2=CH-O-: vinyl ether group) is preferred, a (meth)acryloyloxy group and a vinyloxy group are more preferred, and a (meth)acryloyloxy group is even more preferred.

[0021] The hydroxyl value of the modified polyol compound is preferably 30 to 900 mgKOH / g, more preferably 60 to 800 mgKOH / g, and even more preferably 100 to 700 mgKOH / g. When the hydroxyl value is 30 mgKOH / g or more, the development speed and pattern shape are good when used as a photosensitive resin composition. When the hydroxyl value is 900 mgKOH / g or less, the fine line adhesion is good when used as a photosensitive resin composition.

[0022] The ethylenically unsaturated group equivalent of the modified polyol compound is preferably 50 to 900 g / mol, more preferably 100 to 800 g / mol, and even more preferably 200 to 700 g / mol. When the ethylenically unsaturated group equivalent is 50 g / mol or more, the storage stability and development characteristics are good when used as a photosensitive resin composition. When the ethylenically unsaturated group equivalent is 900 g / mol or less, the fine line adhesion and solvent resistance of the cured product are good when used as a photosensitive resin composition.

[0023] The modification rate of the hydroxy groups in the polyol compound is preferably 5 to 90%, more preferably 10 to 80%, and even more preferably 20 to 70%. When the modification rate is 5% or more, the solvent resistance is good when used as a photosensitive resin composition. When the modification rate is 90% or less, the development speed is good when used as a photosensitive resin composition. In this specification, the modification rate of the hydroxy groups in the polyol compound is a value calculated from the charge ratio of the compound to be added to the hydroxy groups in the polyol compound (for example, a compound having an isocyanato group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, a compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, and a polybasic acid or anhydride thereof), assuming a reaction rate of 100%.

[0024] The acid value of the modified polyol compound is preferably 0 to 200 mgKOH / g, more preferably 0 to 150 mgKOH / g, and even more preferably 0 to 120 mgKOH / g. Even when the acid value is 0 mgKOH / g, development using phenolic hydroxyl groups is possible. When the acid value is 200 mgKOH / g or less, fine line adhesion is good. From the viewpoint of improving developability, the lower limit of the acid value may be 5 mgKOH / g, 10 mgKOH / g, or 50 mgKOH / g.

[0030] The compound having an isocyanato group and an ethylenically unsaturated group may also be an equimolar (1 mol:1 mol) reaction product of a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate and a diisocyanate compound. The alkyl group of the hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate is preferably an ethyl group or an n-propyl group, and more preferably an ethyl group. Examples of diisocyanate compounds include hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,4- (or 2,6-) tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), 3,5,5-trimethyl-3-isocyanatomethylcyclohexyl isocyanate (IPDI), m- (or p-) xylene diisocyanate, 1,3- (or 1,4-) bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, and lysine diisocyanate.

[0031] Among these, from the viewpoints of ease of the modification reaction and photocurability when used as a photosensitive resin composition, 2-isocyanatoethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-isocyanatopropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-isocyanatopropyl (meth)acrylate, 2-isocyanato-1-methylethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-isocyanato-1,1-dimethylethyl (meth)acrylate, 4-isocyanatocyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, and methacryloyl isocyanate are preferred, and 2-isocyanatoethyl (meth)acrylate and 2-isocyanatopropyl (meth)acrylate are more preferred.

[0032] The compound having an isocyanato group and an ethylenically unsaturated group may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0033] <Compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group> The compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group.

Among these, glycidyl (meth)acrylate is preferred from the viewpoints of ease of modification reaction and photocurability when used as a photosensitive resin composition.

[0034] The compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0035] <Solvent> The solvent is not particularly limited as long as it does not react with the components and can dissolve or disperse the components. Specific examples of the solvent include the same solvents as the (D) solvent used in the photosensitive resin composition described below.

[0037] <Polymerization inhibitor> When carrying out the modification reaction, a polymerization inhibitor other than the polyol compound and the modified polyol compound may be added to the reaction solution as needed to prevent gelation of the reaction solution. However, since the polyol compound and the modified polyol compound have a phenolic hydroxyl group and have a polymerization inhibitory effect, it is usually not necessary to add another polymerization inhibitor. The other polymerization inhibitor is not particularly limited, but examples include hydroquinone, methylhydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, and dibutylhydroxytoluene. From the viewpoint of minimizing the effect on the physical properties when used as a photosensitive resin composition, it is preferable not to use another polymerization inhibitor.

[0038] (Addition reaction of polybasic acids or their anhydrides) When a polybasic acid or anhydride thereof is to be added to some of the remaining hydroxy groups after the modification reaction of a polyol compound, the polybasic acid or anhydride thereof, and optionally a catalyst, can be added to the reaction solution after the modification reaction to carry out the addition reaction.

When the acid value of the solid content is 10 mgKOH / g or more, the alkali solubility of the photosensitive resin composition is sufficient, and therefore good developability can be obtained. When the acid value of the solid content is 300 mgKOH / g or less, the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition is good.

[0045] The weight-average molecular weight of the (A) alkali-soluble resin is preferably 1000 to 50000, more preferably 3000 to 30000, and even more preferably 5000 to 20000. When the weight-average molecular weight is within this range, the viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition can be easily controlled, and good storage stability can be obtained.

[0046] The alkali-soluble resin (A) preferably has an ethylenically unsaturated group introduced therein, since this is expected to maximize the effect of improving the photocurability of the photosensitive resin composition.

Specific examples of the (D) solvent include (poly)alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetates such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and diethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate; esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and isopropyl acetate; (poly)alkylene glycol alkyl ethers such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether; and ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone.

[0077] [(E) Modified polyol compound] The modified polyol compounds described above can be used as the (E) modified polyol compound. When the photosensitive resin composition contains an (E) modified polyol compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group, good developability can be achieved, allowing the formation of a desired pattern shape. In addition, when the (E) modified polyol compound has multiple ethylenically unsaturated groups, the cured product of the photosensitive resin composition containing the (E) modified polyol compound has a crosslinked structure formed by photopolymerization of the ethylenically unsaturated groups of the (E) modified polyol compound, resulting in excellent solvent resistance. When the (E) modified polyol compound has multiple hydroxy groups, the cured product exhibits good adhesion to the adherend. When the (E) modified polyol compound has phenolic hydroxyl groups, the polymerization-inhibiting effect of the phenolic hydroxyl groups allows the amount of a typical low-molecular-weight polymerization inhibitor to be reduced, thereby suppressing the effects of a typical low-molecular-weight polymerization inhibitor, such as reduced adhesion.

[0078] [Polymerization inhibitor] As long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, known polymerization inhibitors not having an ethylenically unsaturated group, such as MEHQ (4-methoxyphenol), BHT (dibutylhydroxytoluene), and methylhydroquinone, may be used in combination. However, these polymerization inhibitors remain free in the cured resin film even after photocuring of the photosensitive resin composition and act to impair adhesion to the substrate. Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the content of these polymerization inhibitors, and more preferably not use them at all. The photosensitive resin composition contains, for example, 0.01 to 0.3 mass% of a polymerization inhibitor not having an ethylenically unsaturated group. In one embodiment, the photosensitive resin composition does not contain a polymerization inhibitor not having an ethylenically unsaturated group. The upper limit of the content of the polymerization inhibitor not having an ethylenically unsaturated group in the photosensitive resin composition is, for example, 0.3 mass% or 0.2 mass%.

[0079] [Other ingredients] In addition to the components described above, the photosensitive resin composition of the first embodiment may contain known additives such as a photoacid generator, a photobase generator, a coupling agent, a leveling agent, a colorant (F) described later, a filler, etc. in order to impart predetermined properties. The amounts of these components to be added are not particularly limited as long as they are within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0080] [Composition ratio of each ingredient] The amount of the (A) component is preferably 10 to 70 parts by mass, more preferably 15 to 60 parts by mass, and even more preferably 20 to 50 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the (A) alkali-soluble resin (also referred to as the (A) component), the (B) reactive diluent (also referred to as the (B) component), the (C) photopolymerization initiator (also referred to as the (C) component), and the (E) modified polyol compound (also referred to as the (E) component). When the (A) component is 10 parts by mass or more, good curability is obtained. When the (A) component is 70 parts by mass or less, good storage stability is obtained.

[0081] The amount of component (B) is preferably 5 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 40 parts by mass, and even more preferably 15 to 30 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), (C), and (E). When component (B) is 5 parts by mass or more, good curability is obtained. When component (B) is 50 parts by mass or less, good storage stability is obtained.

[0082] The amount of component (C) is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 7 parts by mass, and even more preferably 1 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), (C), and (E). When component (C) is 0.1 part by mass or more, good curability is obtained. When component (C) is 10 parts by mass or less, good adhesion is obtained.

[0083] The amount of the solvent (D) is preferably 30 to 1000 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 800 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of the components (A), (B), (C), and (E).Within this range, the photosensitive resin composition is easy to handle.

[0084] The amount of component (E) is preferably 0.05 to 50 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 40 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.1 to 30 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), (C), and (E). When component (E) is 0.05 part by mass or more, a good pattern shape and adhesion can be obtained. When component (E) is 50 parts by mass or less, good adhesion can be obtained.

[0086] [(F) Colorant] The (F) colorant (also referred to as (F) component) is one that is soluble or dispersible in a solvent, and examples thereof include dyes and pigments. The (F) colorant may be a dye alone, a pigment alone, or a combination of a dye and a pigment, depending on the color of the pixel to be produced using the photosensitive coloring composition. When the photosensitive coloring composition is used as a material for a color filter, it is preferable to use a dye as the (F) colorant for the following reasons. Pigments are particles, while dyes are molecules. For this reason, when a dye is used as a colorant, light scattering in the color filter is suppressed compared to when a pigment is used, and the brightness of an image display device equipped with the color filter is increased.

[0087] As the dye, from the viewpoint of solubility in solvents and alkaline developers, interaction with other components in the photosensitive coloring composition, heat resistance of the photosensitive coloring composition, etc., it is preferable to use an acid dye having an acidic group such as a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid, a salt of an acid dye with a nitrogen compound, a sulfonamide adduct of an acid dye, etc. In particular, it is preferable to use an anthraquinone-based, azo-based, xanthene-based, or phthalocyanine-based dye as the dye. Among them, it is preferable to use one or both of an anthraquinone-based dye and a xanthene-based dye, since a photosensitive coloring composition can be obtained that can produce a resin cured film with high transmittance.

[0088] Specifically, the dyes are: acid alizarin violet N; acid black 1, 2, 24, 48; acid blue 1, 7, 9, 25, 29, 40, 45, 62, 70, 74, 80, 83, 90, 92, 112, 113, 120, 129, 147; acid chrome violet K; acid Fuchsin; acid green 1, 3, 5, 25, 27, 50; acid orange 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 50, 51, 52, 56, 63, 74, 95; and acid red. 1, 4, 8, 14, 17, 18, 26, 27, 29, 31, 34, 35, 37, 42, 44, 50, 51, 52, 57, 69, 73, 80, 87, 88, 91, 92, 94, 97, 103, 111, 114, 129, 133, 134, 138, 143, 145, 150, 151, 158, 176, 183, 198, 211, 215, 216, 217, 249, 252, 257, 260, 266, 274, 289, Rhodamine B; acid violet 6B; 7, 9, 17, 19; acid yellow 1, 3, 9, 11, 17, 23, 25, 29, 34, 36, 42, 54, 72, 73, 76, 79, 98, 99, 111, 112, 114, 116; food yellow 3, VALIFAST (trademark) BLUE 1603, 1605, 1621, 2606, 2620, 2670, and derivatives thereof.

Pigments can be used alone or in combination depending on the desired pixel color, for example.

[0090] When a pigment is used as the (F) colorant, a known dispersant may be contained in the photosensitive coloring composition to improve the dispersibility of the pigment. It is preferable to use a polymer dispersant that has excellent dispersion stability over time. Examples of polymer dispersants include urethane-based dispersants, polyethyleneimine-based dispersants, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether-based dispersants, polyoxyethylene glycol diester-based dispersants, sorbitan aliphatic ester-based dispersants, and aliphatic modified ester-based dispersants. Commercially available polymer dispersants, such as EFKA (manufactured by EFKA CHEMICALS BV), Disperbyk (manufactured by BYK), Disparlon (manufactured by Kusumoto Chemicals Co., Ltd.), and SOLSPERSE (manufactured by Lubrizol Corporation), may also be used.

When component (B) is 3 parts by mass or more, good curability is obtained. When component (B) is 40 parts by mass or less, good storage stability is obtained.

[0093] The amount of component (C) is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 7 parts by mass, and even more preferably 1 to 5 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total of components (A), (B), (C), (E), and (F). When component (C) is 0.1 part by mass or more, good curability is obtained. When component (C) is 10 parts by mass or less, good adhesion is obtained.

[0096] <(A) Method for producing alkali-soluble resin> The alkali-soluble resin (A) can be produced, for example, by the following production method. That is, a monomer, a polymerization solvent, and a radical polymerization initiator are mixed and radically polymerized in a nitrogen atmosphere, typically at 70°C to 130°C, to obtain a copolymer. When introducing functional groups such as ethylenically unsaturated groups and carboxy groups into the obtained copolymer, a catalyst is added as needed in a dry air atmosphere, and an addition reaction is carried out typically at 70°C to 130°C, to obtain the alkali-soluble resin (A).

[0097] The addition reaction may be carried out in the presence of a modified polyol compound (E). This reduces unintended crosslinking of ethylenically unsaturated groups and prevents the molecular weight of the alkali-soluble resin (A) from increasing excessively. In addition, the amount of polymerization inhibitors other than the modified polyol compound (E) can be reduced, thereby reducing the effects on the developability of the photosensitive resin composition and the photosensitive coloring composition, the adhesion of the cured product, and the like.

[0098] <Polymerization solvent> The polymerization solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is a solvent inert to the copolymerization reaction of the raw material monomers. As the polymerization solvent, those exemplified as the (D) solvent can be used. From the viewpoint of handling, it is preferable to use a (poly)alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate as the polymerization solvent, and it is particularly preferable to use propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate.

[0099] The amount of the polymerization solvent used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 to 1,000 parts by mass, and more preferably 50 to 800 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the raw material monomers. When the amount of the polymerization solvent used is 30 parts by mass or more, the copolymerization reaction of the raw material monomers can be carried out stably, and coloration and gelation of the copolymer can be prevented. When the amount of the polymerization solvent used is 1,000 parts by mass or less, a decrease in the molecular weight of the copolymer due to chain transfer can be suppressed, and the viscosity of the reaction solution can be controlled within an appropriate range.

[0100] <Radical Polymerization Initiator> The radical polymerization initiator that can be used in the copolymerization reaction of the raw material monomers is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(isobutyrate) dimethyl, benzoyl peroxide, t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, etc. The radical polymerization initiators may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0101] The amount of radical polymerization initiator used is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.5 to 16 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the raw material monomer.

[0102] <Method for producing photosensitive resin composition> The photosensitive resin composition can be produced by mixing the above-mentioned components using a known mixing device. For example, it can be produced by sequentially mixing (A) an alkali-soluble resin, (B) a reactive diluent, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, and (D) a solvent. If necessary, a colorant (F) may be added. The (E) modified polyol compound may be mixed before the addition reaction for introducing functional groups such as ethylenically unsaturated groups and carboxyl groups when producing the (A) alkali-soluble resin, or may be added when mixing the (A) to (D) components. From the viewpoints of reducing unintended crosslinking of ethylenically unsaturated groups during the synthesis of the (A) alkali-soluble resin and preventing excessive increases in the molecular weight of the (A) alkali-soluble resin, it is preferable to mix the (E) modified polyol compound before the addition reaction when producing the (A) alkali-soluble resin.

[0103] The photosensitive resin composition thus obtained has excellent storage stability and can exhibit various excellent resist properties such as excellent solvent resistance, pattern adhesion, and developability, and can form a pattern with excellent reliability.By using a photosensitive coloring composition in which a colorant (F) is blended with a photosensitive resin composition, a color filter with excellent reliability can be provided.

[0104] <Cured resin film> A cured resin film can be obtained by irradiating a photosensitive resin composition with active energy rays to cure it. Specifically, the cured resin film can be produced by the following method. A photosensitive resin composition or a photosensitive coloring composition is applied to a substrate such as glass so that the average thickness of the final cured coating film is a predetermined value depending on the purpose, and then the coating film is heated, for example, at 50 to 150°C for 1 to 50 minutes to volatilize the solvent. Next, the entire surface of the coating film is exposed to light (for example, using a lamp USH-250BY manufactured by Ushio Inc., with an exposure dose of 40 mJ / cm). 2 ) and then baking, for example, at 50 to 200°C for 10 to 180 minutes to obtain a cured coating film. After volatilizing the solvent, the coating film is exposed to light through a photomask and developed with an alkaline developer to obtain a cured coating film having a predetermined pattern.

[0105] <Color filter> A color filter according to one embodiment has a cured product of a photosensitive coloring composition. The color filter has a color pattern formed using the photosensitive coloring composition. A color filter typically comprises a substrate, RGB pixels formed thereon, a black matrix formed at the boundaries between the pixels, and a protective film formed on the pixels and the black matrix. In this configuration, known substrates and protective films can be used.

[0106] A color filter can be manufactured, for example, by the following method. First, a colored pattern is formed on a substrate. Specifically, a black matrix and RGB pixels are sequentially formed on the substrate. The material of the substrate is not particularly limited, and glass substrates, silicon substrates, polycarbonate substrates, polyester substrates, polyamide substrates, polyamideimide substrates, polyimide substrates, aluminum substrates, printed wiring boards, array substrates, etc. can be used as appropriate.

[0107] The colored pattern can be formed by photolithography. Specifically, a photosensitive colored composition is applied to a substrate to form a coating film, and then the coating film is exposed to light through a photomask with a predetermined pattern to photocure the exposed portions. The unexposed portions are then developed with an alkaline aqueous solution and baked to form the desired colored pattern.

[0108] The method for applying the photosensitive coloring composition is not particularly limited, and can be screen printing, roll coating, curtain coating, spray coating, spin coating, or the like. After applying the photosensitive coloring composition, the solvent (D) may be evaporated by heating using a heating means such as a circulation oven, an infrared heater, or a hot plate, if necessary. The heating conditions are not particularly limited and may be appropriately set depending on the type of photosensitive coloring composition used. Generally, heating at a temperature of 50°C to 120°C for 30 seconds to 30 minutes is sufficient.

[0109] Next, the formed coating film is partially exposed by irradiating it with active energy rays such as ultraviolet rays and excimer laser light through a negative mask. The amount of energy radiation to be irradiated may be appropriately selected depending on the composition of the photosensitive coloring composition, and may be, for example, 30 to 2000 mJ / cm. 2 The light source used for exposure is not particularly limited, but may be a low-pressure mercury lamp, a medium-pressure mercury lamp, a high-pressure mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, a metal halide lamp, or the like.

[0110] The alkaline aqueous solution used for development is not particularly limited, but may include aqueous solutions of inorganic alkaline compounds such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide; aqueous solutions of amines such as ethylamine, diethylamine, and dimethylethanolamine; aqueous solutions of quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium sulfate, hydrochloride, or p-toluenesulfonate; aqueous solutions of aniline compounds and their salts such as 3-methyl-4-amino-N,N-diethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline, and 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-methoxyethylaniline, and their sulfates, hydrochlorides, or p-toluenesulfonates; and aqueous solutions of p-phenylenediamine compounds and their salts. Additives such as antifoaming agents and surfactants may also be added to these aqueous solutions as needed. After development with the alkaline aqueous solution, the cured coating film is preferably washed with water and dried.

[0111] The baking conditions are not particularly limited, and the heat treatment may be carried out depending on the type of photosensitive coloring composition used. Generally, the heating may be carried out at 80 to 250° C. for 10 to 60 minutes.

[0112] The above-described coating, exposure, development, and baking processes can be repeated in sequence using the photosensitive coloring composition for the black matrix and the photosensitive coloring compositions for the red, green, and blue pixels to form a desired color pattern. Thereafter, a protective film is formed on the color pattern (each pixel of RGB and the black matrix). The protective film is not particularly limited, and any known film may be used.

[0113] The color filter produced in this manner is expected to have excellent solvent resistance and adhesion, and to suppress the bleeding out of low molecular weight components such as polymerization inhibitors.

[0114] <Image display element> An image display element according to one embodiment is an image display element equipped with a color filter, and specific examples thereof include liquid crystal display elements, organic EL display elements, and solid-state imaging elements such as CCD elements and CMOS elements. The image display element may be manufactured according to a conventional method. For example, when manufacturing a liquid crystal display element, a color filter is formed on a substrate, and then electrodes, spacers, and the like are formed in sequence. Then, electrodes, etc. are formed on another substrate, and the two are bonded together, after which a predetermined amount of liquid crystal is injected and sealed. [Example]
