Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0010] <Display device> The display device includes a light source (A), a color conversion layer (B), and a color filter (C). The display device is a device that irradiates light from the light source (A) onto the color conversion layer (B), emits light from the quantum dots (B-r) that emit red light (hereinafter also simply referred to as quantum dots (B-r)) by irradiating the light emitted from the color conversion layer (B) onto the color conversion layer (B), and extracts the light through the color filter (C).
[0011] "Emitting blue light" means emitting all light that is visually recognized as blue (all light having intensity in the blue wavelength region, for example, 380 nm to 495 nm), and is not limited to emitting light of a single wavelength. "Emitting green light" means emitting all light that is visually recognized as green (all light having intensity in the green wavelength region, for example, 495 nm to 585 nm), and is not limited to emitting light of a single wavelength. "Emitting red light" means emitting all light that is visually recognized as red (all light having intensity in the red wavelength region, for example, 585 nm to 780 nm), and is not limited to emitting light of a single wavelength.
[0012] The display device may include layers such as a light guide plate, a reflection film, a diffusion film, a brightness enhancement part, a prism sheet, and a medium material layer between elements, which will be described later.
[0013] The display device can achieve both a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency when simultaneously satisfying the following conditions (I) and (II). In a display device equipped with a conventionally proposed light source, a color conversion layer, and a color filter, it is often difficult to achieve both a wide color gamut and excellent extraction efficiency. This is because the blue, green, and red light obtained by passing through the color filter may each contain light of intermediate wavelengths, making it difficult to fully exhibit color reproducibility. On the other hand, if light of such intermediate wavelengths is excluded, the luminance decreases and the extraction efficiency becomes insufficient. As a result of research, it has been found that by setting a specific pulse function, the smaller the ratio of the area of the spectral curve of the light emitted from the color conversion layer that extends beyond the area of the pulse function, and the higher the ratio of the area of the spectral curve of the transmitted light from the color filter that covers the area of the pulse function, the easier it is to exclude light of intermediate wavelengths and the easier it is to obtain high luminance.

As the crystals grow, the organic solvent naturally coordinates with the surface of the quantum dot crystals, acting as a dispersant and regulating the growth of the crystals. This allows for the control of nanoparticle growth through a process that is easier and less expensive than gas phase deposition methods such as metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).
[0079] [Green fluorescent particles] The color conversion layer (B) can further contain green fluorescent particles (Bg) that emit green light in addition to the quantum dots (Br). When the color conversion layer (B) contains green fluorescent particles (Bg), part of the light from the light source (A) that enters the color conversion layer (B) is converted to red light by the quantum dots (Br) and emitted from the color conversion layer (B), another part is converted to green light by the green fluorescent particles (Bg) and emitted from the color conversion layer (B), and still another part passes through the color conversion layer (B) as light from the light source (A). As a result, the light from the light source (A), the red light, and the green light are mixed, and white light tends to be more easily emitted from the color conversion layer (B).
[0080] The emission spectrum of the green fluorescent particles (Bg) preferably has a full width at half maximum of 10 nm to 80 nm. If the full width at half maximum is 30 nm or less, the color purity of the green light is high, and the brightness of the green light of the display device can be further improved. On the other hand, if the full width at half maximum is 10 nm or more, this tends to be advantageous from the viewpoint of synthesis of the green fluorescent particles. The full width at half maximum of the emission spectrum of the green light is more preferably 10 nm to 60 nm, even more preferably 10 nm to 40 nm, even more preferably 10 nm to 30 nm, and particularly preferably 20 nm to 30 nm.
[0081] The emission spectrum (peak) of green light emitted from the green fluorescent particles (Bg) preferably has a maximum value in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 560 nm. When the maximum value is in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 560 nm, the color purity of the green light corresponding to the peak is particularly high, and the brightness of the green light of the display device can be further improved. The maximum value is more preferably in the wavelength range of 520 nm to 540 nm. The emission spectrum of the green fluorescent particles (Bg) is measured by the method described in the Examples section below.
[0082] [Perovskite fluorescent particles] A preferred example of the green fluorescent particles (Bg) is perovskite fluorescent particles. The perovskite fluorescent particles (B-g) are particles of a compound having a perovskite crystal structure (hereinafter also referred to as a perovskite compound) composed of A, B, and X as constituent components. A is a component located at each vertex of an octahedron centered on B in the perovskite crystal structure and is a monovalent cation. X represents a component located at each vertex of an octahedron centered on B in the perovskite crystal structure and is one or more anions selected from the group consisting of halide ions and thiocyanate ions. B is a component located at the center of an octahedron with A at the vertex and an octahedron with X at the vertex in the perovskite crystal structure and is a metal ion.

[0119] [Manufacturing method of color filter (C)] The color filter (C) can be produced as a color filter (C) having a blue color filter (Cb), a green color filter (Cg), and a red color filter (Cr) by forming blue, green, and red patterns (hereinafter collectively referred to as colored patterns) on a substrate from blue, green, and red curable resin compositions (hereinafter collectively referred to as colored curable resin compositions), respectively.
[0120] Methods for forming a colored pattern from a colored curable resin composition include photolithography, inkjet printing, and printing, with photolithography being preferred. Photolithography is a method in which a colored curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, dried to form a colored composition layer, and then exposed to light through a photomask and developed. In photolithography, a colored coating film, which is a cured product of the colored composition layer, can be formed by not using a photomask during exposure and / or not developing. The colored pattern or colored coating film formed from the colored curable resin composition is the color filter (C) of the present invention.
[0121] The thickness of the color filter to be produced is not particularly limited and can be adjusted appropriately depending on the purpose, use, etc., and is, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.1 to 20 μm, and more preferably 0.5 to 6 μm. The thickness of the color filter may be, for example, less than 3.5 μm.
[0122] 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. Another color filter layer, a resin layer, a transistor, a circuit, or the like may be formed on the substrate. The substrate may be included in the color filter (C).
[0123] The formation of a colored pattern by photolithography can be carried out using known or conventional equipment and conditions. For example, the pattern can be produced as follows. First, the colored curable resin composition is applied onto a substrate, and then dried by heating (pre-baking) and / or drying under reduced pressure to remove volatile components such as solvents, thereby obtaining a smooth colored curable resin composition layer. Examples of the coating method include spin coating, slit coating, and slit-and-spin coating. When drying by heating, the temperature is preferably 30 to 120°C, more preferably 50 to 110°C. The heating time is preferably 10 seconds to 60 minutes, more preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. When drying under reduced pressure is performed, it is preferably performed under a pressure of 50 to 150 Pa at a temperature in the range of 20 to 25°C. The film thickness of the colored curable resin composition layer is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the film thickness of the desired color filter.
[0124] Next, the colored curable resin composition layer is exposed to light through a photomask to form a desired colored pattern. The pattern on the photomask is not particularly limited, and a pattern appropriate for the intended use is used. A 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 350 nm may be cut using a filter that cuts this wavelength range, or light around 436 nm, 408 nm, and 365 nm may be selectively extracted using a bandpass filter that extracts these wavelength ranges. Specific examples of light sources include mercury lamps, light-emitting diodes, metal halide lamps, and halogen lamps. It is preferable to use an exposure device such as a mask aligner or a stepper, because this allows the entire exposure surface to be uniformly irradiated with parallel light rays and allows accurate alignment of the photomask with the substrate on which the colored curable resin composition layer is formed.
[0125] A colored pattern is formed on the substrate by bringing the exposed colored curable resin composition layer into contact with a developer and developing it. By development, the unexposed areas of the colored curable resin composition layer are dissolved in the developer and removed. The developer is preferably an aqueous solution of an alkaline compound such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate, or tetramethylammonium hydroxide. The concentration of the alkaline compound is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.02 to 5% by mass. The developer may contain a surfactant. The developing method may be any of a puddle method, a dipping method, a spray method, etc. Furthermore, the substrate may be tilted at any angle during development. After development, the substrate is preferably washed with water. Furthermore, it is preferable to perform post-baking on the obtained colored pattern. The post-baking temperature is preferably 150 to 250° C., more preferably 160 to 235° C. The post-baking time is preferably 1 to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 to 60 minutes. The color filter, which is a colored pattern or colored coating film obtained in this manner, may be further subjected to a surface coating treatment to impart various properties.

In this specification, the "total amount of solid content" means the total amount of components excluding the solvent (E) from the colored curable resin composition. The total amount of the solid content and the content of each component relative thereto can be measured by known analytical means such as liquid chromatography or gas chromatography.
[0128] The content rate of the colorant (A) in the colored curable resin composition may be, for example, 1% by mass or more and 99% by mass or less in the total amount of the solid content, preferably 1% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less, still more preferably 1% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less, particularly preferably 1% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less, even more preferably 1% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less, particularly preferably 5% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less, extremely preferably 10% by mass or more and 55% by mass or less. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the content rate of the colorant (A) in the colored curable resin composition may be, for example, 12% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less in the total amount of the solid content, preferably 15% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less, more preferably 20% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less.

ITU-R BT.2020 are (0.708, 0.292), the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) of green are (0.170, 0.797), and the chromaticity coordinates (x, y) of blue are (0.131, 0.046).
[0222] <Display> As shown in FIG. 4, the display 200 of this embodiment includes a liquid crystal panel 201 and the aforementioned display device 100 in this order from the viewing side. The liquid crystal panel 201 typically includes a liquid crystal cell, a viewing-side polarizing plate disposed on the viewing side of the liquid crystal cell, and a back-side polarizing plate disposed on the back side of the liquid crystal cell.

[0225] [Polarizing plate] The polarizing plate typically has a polarizer and protective layers disposed on both sides of the polarizer. The polarizer is typically an absorption-type polarizer. As the above polarizer, any appropriate polarizer can be used. For example, a hydrophilic polymer film such as a polyvinyl alcohol-based film, a partially formalized polyvinyl alcohol-based film, or an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer-based partially saponified film, to which a dichroic substance such as iodine or a dichroic dye is adsorbed and uniaxially stretched, and a polyene-based oriented film such as a dehydrated product of polyvinyl alcohol or a dehydrochlorinated product of polyvinyl chloride.
