The particle size of these colorants is preferably substantially uniform. Furthermore, by adding a pigment dispersant and dispersing the colorants, they can be made into a colorant dispersion in which they are uniformly dispersed in the pigment dispersant solution. These colorants may be dispersed individually or in combination.
[0096] Examples of pigment dispersants include surfactants, which may be cationic, anionic, nonionic, or amphoteric. Specific examples include polyester, polyamine, and acrylic surfactants.

By adjusting the content of the colorant (A) to equal to or greater than the lower limit, it becomes easier to obtain a spectrum and color density suitable for a color filter. By adjusting the content of the colorant (A) to equal to or less than the upper limit, reliability and patterning ability can be improved. In particular, by using the colored curable resin composition of the present invention, a color filter having good color separation properties can be produced while suppressing the colorant concentration.

[0197] <Other ingredients> The colored curable resin composition may contain additives known in the technical field, such as fillers, other polymer compounds, adhesion promoters, antioxidants, light stabilizers, and chain transfer agents, as needed.
[0198] <Method for producing colored curable resin composition> The colored curable resin composition can be prepared, for example, by mixing a colorant (A), a resin (B), a polymerizable compound (C), a polymerization initiator (D), and, if necessary, a solvent (E), a leveling agent (F), a polymerization initiator aid (D1), and other components. The colored curable resin composition after mixing may be filtered through a filter with a pore size of about 0.01 to 10 μm.
[0199] As described above, the colorant (A) may be used as a colorant dispersion in which the colorant is uniformly dispersed in a solution by adding a pigment dispersant and carrying out a dispersion treatment. The desired colored curable resin composition can be prepared by mixing the remaining components into such a colorant dispersion to give a predetermined concentration.
[0200] When the colorant (A) contains a dye, the dye may be dissolved in advance in a part or all of the solvent (E) to prepare a solution, which is then preferably filtered through a filter having a pore size of about 0.01 to 1 μm.
[0201] [Color Filter] Methods for producing a colored pattern of a color filter from the colored curable resin composition of the present invention include photolithography, inkjet printing, and printing. Among these, photolithography is preferred. The photolithography is a method in which the colored curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, dried to form a composition layer, and then exposed to light through a photomask and developed. In the photolithography, a colored coating film, which is a cured product of the composition layer, can be formed by not using a photomask during exposure and / or not developing.
[0202] The film thickness of the color filter (colored coating film or colored pattern) is, for example, 30 μm or less, preferably 20 μm or less, more preferably 6 μm or less, even more preferably 3 μm or less, still more preferably 1.5 μm or less, particularly preferably 1.0 μm or less, and preferably 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 0.2 μm or more, and even more preferably 0.3 μm or more.
[0203] The substrate may be a glass plate such as quartz glass, borosilicate glass, alumina silicate glass, or silica-coated soda lime glass; a resin plate such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, or polyethylene terephthalate; silicon; or a substrate having a thin film of aluminum, silver, or a silver / copper / palladium alloy formed thereon. A separate color filter layer, a resin layer, a transistor, a circuit, or the like may be formed on these substrates. Alternatively, a silicon substrate treated with HMDS may be used.
[0204] Formation of each color pixel (each color filter) by photolithography can be carried out using known or conventional equipment and conditions. For example, it can be produced as follows. First, a colored curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, and then heated and dried (prebaked) and / or dried under reduced pressure to remove volatile components such as solvents and dry the composition, thereby obtaining a smooth composition layer. Examples of application methods include spin coating, slit coating, and slit and spin coating. When heated and dried, the temperature is preferably 30 to 120°C, more preferably 50 to 110°C. The heating time is preferably 10 seconds to 60 minutes, more preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. When dried under reduced pressure, it is preferably carried out under a pressure of 50 to 150 Pa and at a temperature of 20 to 25°C. The film thickness of the composition layer is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the film thickness of the desired color filter.
[0205] Next, the composition layer is exposed through a photomask to form a desired color pattern. The pattern on the photomask is not particularly limited, and a pattern appropriate for the intended application is used. The light source used for exposure is preferably a light source that emits light with a wavelength of 250 to 450 nm. For example, light less than 250 nm may be cut using a filter that cuts this wavelength range, or light around 436 nm, 408 nm, or 365 nm may be selectively extracted using a bandpass filter that extracts these wavelength ranges. Specific examples include mercury lamps, light-emitting diodes, metal halide lamps, and halogen lamps. It is preferable to use a reduction projection exposure device or proximity exposure device such as a mask aligner or stepper, as this allows for uniform irradiation of the entire exposure surface with parallel light and allows for accurate alignment of the photomask and substrate.
[0206] A colored pattern is formed on the substrate by bringing the exposed composition layer into contact with a developer and developing it. The unexposed portions of the composition layer are dissolved and removed by development. The developer is preferably an aqueous solution of an alkaline compound such as potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, or tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The concentration of these alkaline compounds in the aqueous solution is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.03 to 5% by mass. The developer may also contain a surfactant. The development method may be any of a puddle method, a dipping method, a spray method, or the like. Furthermore, the substrate may be tilted at any angle during development. After development, it is preferable to wash with water.
[0207] Furthermore, it is preferable to post-bake the obtained colored pattern. The post-bake temperature is preferably 80 to 250° C., more preferably 100 to 245° C. The post-bake time is preferably 1 to 120 minutes, more preferably 2 to 30 minutes.
[0208] The colored patterns and colored coating films thus obtained are useful as color filters, and the color filters are useful as color filters used in display devices (e.g., liquid crystal display devices, organic EL devices, etc.), electronic paper, solid-state imaging devices, etc.
[0209] In particular, the colored pattern and colored coating film are useful as blue pixels in a color filter (blue color filter).
[0210] When the thickness of the colored pattern or colored coating film is adjusted so that the maximum transmittance at wavelengths of 400 to 500 nm is 83%, the transmittance at 530 nm is preferably 13.0% or less, more preferably 11.0% or less, even more preferably 8.0% or less, and particularly preferably 6.0% or less or 4.0% or less. By reducing the transmittance at 530 nm, leakage of green light can be suppressed, and the color separation properties of the blue color filter can be improved. The lower limit of the transmittance at 530 nm is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 0.5% or more.
[0211] Furthermore, when the thickness of the colored pattern or colored coating film is adjusted so that the maximum transmittance at wavelengths of 400 to 500 nm is 83%, the transmittance at 640 nm is preferably 10.0% or less, more preferably 5.0% or less, and even more preferably 3.5% or less, and can also be 2.0% or less. By reducing the transmittance at 640 nm, leakage of red light can be suppressed, and the color separation ability as a blue color filter can be further improved. The lower limit of the transmittance at 640 nm is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 0.5% or more.
[0212] Furthermore, when the thickness of the colored pattern or colored coating film is adjusted so that the maximum transmittance at wavelengths of 400 to 500 nm is 83%, the absolute value of the slope of the transmittance spectrum, as determined by the method described in the Examples below, is preferably 0.013 or more, more preferably 0.015 or more, and even more preferably 0.017 or more. By increasing the absolute value of the slope, a color filter with a high amount of transmitted light can be produced, thereby increasing the sensitivity of a solid-state imaging device including the color filter. The upper limit of the absolute value of the slope is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 0.05 or less. [Example]

[0233] <Formation of colored patterns (color filters)> A colored curable resin composition was applied to the surface of a 4-inch glass substrate by spin coating, and then prebaked at 100°C for 2 minutes to obtain a colored composition layer. After cooling, the substrate on which the colored composition layer was formed was exposed to 1500 J / m using an exposure machine (NSR-2205i11D; manufactured by Nikon Corporation). 2 The colored composition layer after the light irradiation was immersed and developed in an aqueous developer containing 0.3% tetramethylammonium hydroxide at 23°C for 30 seconds, washed with water, and then post-baked on a hot plate at 220°C for 5 minutes to produce a colored pattern. The film thickness of the colored pattern was adjusted so that the maximum transmittance at wavelengths of 400 to 500 nm was 83%.
[0234] <Film thickness measurement> The film thickness of the obtained colored patterns was measured using a film thickness measuring device (DEKTAK3; manufactured by Nippon Shinku Gijutsu Co., Ltd.) The film thickness of the colored patterns obtained in Examples 1 to 6 and the Comparative Example was all 0.6 μm.
[0235] <Transmittance evaluation> The transmittance of the obtained colored pattern was measured in 1 nm increments in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm using a colorimeter (OSP-SP-200; manufactured by Olympus Corporation).
[0236] (1) Transmittance at 530 nm From the above measurement results, the transmittance of each colored pattern at 530 nm was confirmed. The results are shown in Table 4. The lower the transmittance at 530 nm, the less green light leaks, and the better the color separation performance of the color filter (especially the blue color filter).
[0237] [Table 4]
[0238] (2) Transmittance at 640 nm From the above measurement results, the transmittance at 640 nm of each colored pattern was confirmed. The results are shown in Table 5. The lower the transmittance at 640 nm, the less red light leaks, and the better the color separation performance of the color filter (especially the blue color filter).
[0239] [Table 5]
[0240] (3) Transmittance spectrum slope From the above measurement results, the spectral slope was calculated from the wavelengths at which the transmittance was 70% and 20% on the longer wavelength side of the maximum transmittance. The results are shown in Table 6. The larger the absolute value of the spectral slope, the greater the amount of transmitted light that can be produced in a color filter, and the greater the sensitivity of a solid-state imaging device including the color filter.
