Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive coloring composition used in the production of color filters used in color liquid crystal displays, solid-state image pickup devices, etc., and to a color filter using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Color filters that constitute color liquid crystal displays (LCDs), solid-state imaging devices, etc. are produced by applying a coating liquid (coloring composition) to a transparent substrate and drying it to form a coating film with a thickness of approximately 0.3 to 3 μm.
[0003] The most widely adopted method for producing color filters used in color liquid crystal displays and the like involves, for example, applying a pigment-dispersed photosensitive coloring composition to a substrate, drying to remove the solvent, exposing the dried coating to a desired pattern (irradiating with radiation), removing the unexposed areas by development, and optionally applying heat or other treatments to obtain each of the RGB color pixels. To produce each of the RGB color patterns, it is necessary to minimize residues in the unexposed areas removed by development. If residues remain in the unexposed areas removed by development, measures to remove the residues are required during color filter production, leading to reduced yields and increased production costs in color filter production. Examples of color filter coloring compositions that leave little residue include those containing a fluorine-containing surfactant obtained by reacting a hydroxyl-containing copolymer obtained by copolymerizing a radically polymerizable monomer having a poly(perfluoroalkylene ether) chain with a radically polymerizable monomer having a polyalkylene glycol chain with a compound having an isocyanate group and a radically polymerizable group (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0021] As for the dye, for example, any of acid dyes, direct dyes, basic dyes, salt-forming dyes, oil-soluble dyes, disperse dyes, reactive dyes, mordant dyes, vat dyes, sulfur dyes, etc. Derivatives of these dyes or lake pigments obtained by laking dyes may also be used.
[0022] Furthermore, in the case of an acid dye having an acidic group such as sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid, or in the form of a direct dye, it is preferable to use the acid dye as a salt-forming compound obtained by salt formation using an inorganic salt of the acid dye, a salt-forming compound of the acid dye with a nitrogen-containing compound such as a quaternary ammonium salt compound, a tertiary amine compound, a secondary amine compound, or a primary amine compound, or a resin component having these functional groups, or to use the acid dye as a sulfonamide compound, which results in a coloring composition having excellent fastness, since the coloring composition has excellent resistance. Furthermore, a salt-forming compound of an acid dye with a compound having an onium salt group is also preferred because it has excellent fastness, and more preferably, the compound having an onium salt group is a resin having a cationic group in the side chain.
[0023] In the case of a basic dye, it can be used after being salted with an organic acid, perchloric acid, or a metal salt thereof. Among these, a salt-forming compound of a basic dye is preferred because of its excellent durability and compatibility with pigments, and it is more preferred to use a salt-forming compound obtained by salting a basic dye with a counter component acting as a counter ion, such as an organic sulfonic acid, an organic sulfuric acid, a fluorine-containing phosphorus anion compound, a fluorine-containing boron anion compound, a cyano-containing nitrogen anion compound, an anion compound having a conjugate base of an organic acid having a halogenated hydrocarbon group, or an acid dye.
[0024] Furthermore, when the dye skeleton has a polymerizable unsaturated group, the dye can be made to have excellent durability, which is preferable.
[0025] Examples of the chemical structure of the dye include azo dyes, disazo dyes, azomethine dyes (indoaniline dyes, indophenol dyes, etc.), dipyrromethene dyes, quinone dyes (benzoquinone dyes, naphthoquinone dyes, anthraquinone dyes, anthrapyridone dyes, etc.), carbonium dyes (diphenylmethane dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, xanthene dyes, acridine dyes, etc.), quinoneimine dyes (oxazine dyes, thiazine dyes, etc.), azine dyes, etc. Examples of the dye structure include dyes derived from dyes selected from the group consisting of oxonol-based dyes, merocyanine-based dyes, arylidene-based dyes, styryl-based dyes, cyanine-based dyes, squarylium-based dyes, and croconium-based dyes, quinophthalone-based dyes, phthalocyanine-based dyes, subphthalocyanine-based dyes, perinone-based dyes, indigo-based dyes, thioindigo-based dyes, quinoline-based dyes, nitro-based dyes, nitroso-based dyes, rhodamine-based dyes, and metal complex dyes thereof.
[0026] Among these dye structures, from the viewpoint of color properties such as hue, color separation, and color unevenness, dye structures derived from dyes selected from azo dyes, xanthene dyes, cyanine dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, anthraquinone dyes, dipyrromethene dyes, squarylium dyes, quinophthalone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, and subphthalocyanine dyes are preferred, and dye structures derived from dyes selected from xanthene dyes, cyanine dyes, triphenylmethane dyes, anthraquinone dyes, dipyrromethene dyes, and phthalocyanine dyes are more preferred. Specific dye compounds that can form the dye structure are described in "New Edition Dye Handbook" (edited by the Society of Organic Synthetic Chemistry; Maruzen, 1970), "Color Index" (The Society of Dyes and Colorists), "Dye Handbook" (edited by Okawara et al.; Kodansha, 1986), etc.
[0027] In the present invention, the dye derivative (b) described below, which is added as needed, is classified as a colorant.
[0028] <Pigment miniaturization> When a pigment is used as the colorant (A), it is preferable to make it finely divided. The method for micronizing the pigment used in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, wet milling, dry milling, or solution precipitation can all be used. As exemplified in the present invention, micronization can be achieved by salt milling using a kneader, which is a type of wet milling. The average primary particle diameter of the pigment as determined by TEM (transmission electron microscope) is preferably in the range of 10 to 80 nm. If the particle diameter is smaller than 10 nm, it becomes difficult to disperse it in an organic solvent, and if the particle diameter is larger than 80 nm, a sufficient contrast ratio may not be obtained. For these reasons, the average primary particle diameter is more preferably in the range of 15 to 70 nm.
[0029] Salt milling is a process in which a mixture of a pigment, a water-soluble inorganic salt, and a water-soluble organic solvent is mechanically kneaded under heating using a batch or continuous mixer such as a kneader, two-roll mill, three-roll mill, ball mill, attritor, sand mill, or planetary mixer, and then the water-soluble inorganic salt and water-soluble organic solvent are removed by washing with water. The water-soluble inorganic salt acts as a crushing aid, and the high hardness of the inorganic salt is used to crush the pigment during salt milling. Optimizing the conditions for salt milling a pigment can produce a pigment with an extremely fine primary particle size, a narrow distribution, and a sharp particle size distribution.
[0030] Examples of water-soluble inorganic salts that can be used include sodium chloride, barium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate, but sodium chloride (table salt) is preferred from the standpoint of cost. From the standpoints of both treatment efficiency and production efficiency, the water-soluble inorganic salt is preferably used in an amount of 50 to 2,000 parts by mass, and most preferably 300 to 1,000 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0031] The water-soluble organic solvent functions to moisten the pigment and water-soluble inorganic salt. It is not particularly limited as long as it is soluble (miscible) in water and does not substantially dissolve the inorganic salt used. However, since the temperature rises during salt milling and the solvent becomes prone to evaporation, a high-boiling solvent with a boiling point of 120°C or higher is preferred from a safety standpoint. Examples of water-soluble organic solvents that can be used include 2-methoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-(isopentyloxy)ethanol, 2-(hexyloxy)ethanol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, liquid polyethylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, and liquid polypropylene glycol. The water-soluble organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 5 to 1,000 parts by weight, and most preferably 50 to 500 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
[0032] When the pigment is subjected to salt milling, a resin may be added as needed. The type of resin used is not particularly limited, and natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, synthetic resins modified with natural resins, etc. can be used. The resin used is preferably solid at room temperature and insoluble in water, and more preferably partially soluble in the above organic solvents. The amount of resin used is preferably in the range of 5 to 200 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0033] <Resin (B)> The resin (B) in the present invention includes a resin-type dispersant (B1) and a binder resin (B2) described later. Since the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention has a high colorant concentration in the nonvolatile matter, the resin (B) must not be able to maintain sufficient dispersion stability, and a dye derivative (b) is added as needed.
[0034] The content of the resin (B) in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is preferably 5 to 60 parts by mass, more preferably 10 to 50 parts by mass, based on the total mass of the colorant (A) (100 parts by mass).
[0035] <Resin-type dispersant (B1)> In the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention, a resin-type dispersant (B1) can be used to effectively disperse the colorant.The resin-type dispersant may be any dispersant that has a colorant affinity site that has the property of adsorbing to the added colorant and a site that is compatible with the colorant carrier, and that functions to adsorb to the added colorant and stabilize the dispersion in the colorant carrier.Specific examples of the resin-type dispersant include urethane-based dispersants such as polyurethane, polycarboxylic acid esters such as polyacrylate, unsaturated polyamides, polycarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acid (partial) amine salts, polycarboxylic acid ammonium salts, polycarboxylic acid alkylamine salts, polysiloxanes, long-chain polyaminoamide phosphates, hydroxyl group-containing polycarboxylic acid esters, and modified products thereof. Examples of suitable dispersants include oil-based dispersants such as amides formed by the reaction of poly(lower alkylene imine) with a polyester having a free carboxyl group, and salts thereof; water-soluble resins and water-soluble polymer compounds such as (meth)acrylic acid-styrene copolymers, (meth)acrylic acid-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers, styrene-maleic acid copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyester-based compounds, modified polyacrylate-based compounds, ethylene oxide / propylene oxide adducts, and phosphate ester-based compounds; and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of polymer dispersants having a basic functional group include nitrogen atom-containing graft copolymers, and nitrogen atom-containing acrylic block copolymers and urethane polymer dispersants having functional groups in the side chains containing tertiary amino groups, quaternary ammonium salt groups, nitrogen-containing heterocycles, etc. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0036] Commercially available resin-type dispersants include Disperbyk-101, 103, 107, 108, 110, 111, 116, 130, 140, 154, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 170, 171, 174, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 190, 2000, 2001, 2009, 2010, 2020, 2025, 2050, 2070, 2095, 2150, and 2160 manufactured by BYK Japan. 155, 2163, 2164 or Anti-Terra-U, 203, 204 or BYK-P104, P104S, 220S, LPN6919, LPN21116, LPN21324 or Lactimon, Lactimon-WS or Bykumen, etc.; SOLSPERSE-3000, 9000, 13000, 13240, 13650, 13940, 16000, 17000, 18000, 20000, 2165 ... 1000, 24000, 26000, 27000, 28000, 31845, 32000, 32500, 32550, 33500, 32600, 34750, 35100, 36600, 38500, 41000, 41090, 53095, 55000, 56000, 76500, etc., BASF EFKA-46, 47, 48, 452, 4008, 4009, 4010, 4015, 4020, 4047, 4050, 4055, 4060, 4080, 4400, 4401, 4402, 4403, 4406, 4408, 4300, 4310, 4320, 4330, 4340, 450, 451, 453, 4540, 4550, 4560, 4800, 5010, 5065, 5066, 5070, 7500, 7554, 1101, 120, 150, 1501, 1502, 1503, etc., and Ajispa-PA111, PB711, PB821, PB822, PB824 manufactured by Ajinomoto Fine-Techno Co., Ltd.

As triazine dye derivatives, JP-A-61-246261, JP-A-11-199796, JP-A-2003-165922, JP-A-2003-168208, JP-A-2004-217842, JP-A-2007-314681, as benzisoindole dye derivatives, JP-A-2009-57478, as quinophthalone dye derivatives, JP-A-2003-167112, JP-A-2006-291194, JP-A-2008-31281, JP-A-2012-2 Examples of naphthol dye derivatives include those described in JP-A-2012-208329 and JP-A-2014-5439; examples of azo dye derivatives include those described in JP-A-2001-172520 and JP-A-2012-172092; examples of acidic substituents include those described in JP-A-2004-307854; and examples of basic substituents include those known in JP-A-2002-201377, JP-A-2003-171594, JP-A-2005-181383, JP-A-2005-213404, etc.In these documents, the dye derivative is sometimes referred to as a derivative, a pigment derivative, a dispersant, a pigment dispersant, or simply as a compound, but the compound having a substituent such as an acidic group, a basic group, or a neutral group in the organic dye residue is synonymous with the dye derivative.
[0039] These dye derivatives can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0040] The dye derivative is preferably added in an amount of 1 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 3 to 25 parts by mass, and even more preferably 5 to 20 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0041] By adding a dye derivative to a pigment and carrying out a pigmentation treatment such as acid pasting, acid slurry, dry milling, salt milling, or solvent salt milling, the dye derivative is adsorbed onto the pigment surface, and the primary particles of the pigment can be made finer than when the dye derivative is not added.
[0042] Adding a dye derivative to a pigment and conducting a dispersion process such as wet dispersion using a two-roll or three-roll roller or beads allows the dye derivative to adsorb to the pigment surface, making the pigment surface polar and promoting the adsorption of the resin-type dispersant. This improves compatibility with the pigment, dye derivative, resin-type dispersant, solvent, and other additives, resulting in improved dispersion stability and viscosity stability over time when the resulting colored composition or colored curable composition is formed. Furthermore, improved compatibility results in excellent coating film stability over time when the colored curable composition is applied to a glass substrate or the like, improving the stability and characteristic dependence of pattern shape and linewidth sensitivity on the waiting time from application to exposure (PCD: Post Coating Delay) and the waiting time from exposure to heat treatment (PED: Post Exposure Delay). Furthermore, adsorption and coating of the pigment surface with the dye derivative and resin-type dispersant suppresses pigment aggregation and crystal precipitation due to sublimation when the coating is baked. Furthermore, development time variability and development residue are also suppressed.
[0043] <Binder resin (B2)> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention contains a binder resin (B2). The binder resin (B2) preferably has a transmittance of 80% or more, more preferably 95% or more, in the entire wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm. Binder resins can be classified according to their main curing method, such as thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, and active energy ray-curable resins having ethylenically unsaturated double bonds. The active energy ray-curable resin may be a thermoplastic resin or one that also has a thermosetting function, and is preferably an alkali-soluble resin from the viewpoint of developability. The composition may also contain a thermoplastic resin that is not active energy ray-curable, and this is also preferably alkali-soluble. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0044] <Thermoplastic resin> Examples of thermoplastic resins that can be used as binder resins include acrylic resins, butyral resins, styrene-maleic acid copolymers, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorinated polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane resins, polyester resins, vinyl resins, alkyd resins, polystyrene resins, polyamide resins, rubber resins, cyclized rubber resins, celluloses, polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE), polybutadiene, and polyimide resins. The thermoplastic resin is preferably alkali-soluble, and examples thereof include resins having acidic groups such as carboxyl groups and sulfonic groups. Specific examples of the resin include acrylic resins having acidic groups, α-olefin / maleic acid (anhydride) copolymers, styrene / styrene sulfonic acid copolymers, ethylene / (meth)acrylic acid copolymers, and isobutylene / maleic acid (anhydride) copolymers. Among these, at least one resin selected from acrylic resins having acidic groups and styrene / styrene sulfonic acid copolymers, particularly alkali-soluble resins having acidic groups and / or hydroxyl groups, are preferably used because of their high developability, heat resistance, and transparency.
[0045] <Alkali-soluble resin> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention preferably contains an alkali-soluble resin as the binder resin (B) from the viewpoints of developability, heat resistance, and transparency. The alkali-soluble resin has an acid group and / or a hydroxyl group and is used to impart development solubility in the alkaline development step during color filter production. As the alkali-soluble resin, an alkali-soluble resin (B2-1) having no ethylenically unsaturated double bond or an alkali-soluble resin (B2-2) having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond that improves the photosensitivity of the composition is used alone or in combination.
[0046] The alkali-soluble resin in the present invention is preferably a resin having a spectral transmittance of preferably 80% or more, more preferably 95% or more over the entire wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm in the visible light region.
[0047] In order to impart alkali-developing solubility, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the alkali-soluble resin in the present invention is 2,000 to 40,000, more preferably 3,000 to 30,000, and even more preferably 4,000 to 20,000. The ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight-average molecular weight to the number-average molecular weight (Mn) is preferably 10 or less. If the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is less than 2,000, adhesion to the substrate decreases, making it difficult to retain an exposed pattern. If it exceeds 40,000, alkali-developing solubility decreases, residues are generated, and the linearity of the pattern deteriorates. The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin in the present invention is preferably 50 to 200 (KOH mg / g) to impart alkali-developing solubility, more preferably 70 to 180, and more preferably 90 to 170. If the acid value is less than 50, alkali-developing solubility decreases, residues are generated, and the linearity of the pattern deteriorates. If the acid value exceeds 200, adhesion to the substrate decreases, making it difficult to retain the exposed pattern.
[0048] <Alkali-soluble resin (B2-1) having no ethylenically unsaturated double bond> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention can contain an alkali-soluble resin (B2-1) that does not have an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in order to adjust the curing degree of the coating film.By synthesizing at least one kind of carboxyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer and one or more kinds of other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, and not adding an ethylenically unsaturated bond to the side chain, an alkali-soluble resin that does not have an ethylenically unsaturated double bond can be obtained.
[0049] <Alkali-soluble resin having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond (B2-2)> The alkali-soluble resin contained in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention preferably has an ethylenically unsaturated double bond. In particular, by using a resin into which an ethylenically unsaturated double bond has been introduced by the following method (i) or (ii), the resin is three-dimensionally crosslinked when exposed to active energy rays to form a coating film, thereby increasing the crosslink density and improving chemical resistance.
[0050] [Method (i)] Method (i) includes, for example, a method in which a carboxyl group of an unsaturated monobasic acid having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond is added to the side-chain epoxy group of a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an epoxy group with one or more other monomers, and the resulting hydroxyl group is then reacted with a polybasic acid anhydride to introduce an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a carboxyl group.
[0051] Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an epoxy group include glycidyl (meth)acrylate, methyl glycidyl (meth)acrylate, 2-glycidoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 3,4-epoxybutyl (meth)acrylate, and 3,4-epoxycyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Glycidyl (meth)acrylate is preferred from the viewpoint of reactivity with the unsaturated monobasic acid in the next step.
[0052] Examples of unsaturated monobasic acids include monocarboxylic acids such as (meth)acrylic acid, crotonic acid, o-, m-, and p-vinylbenzoic acid, and (meth)acrylic acid substituted with haloalkyl, alkoxyl, halogen, nitro, or cyano at the α-position, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0053] Examples of polybasic acid anhydrides include tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, succinic anhydride, and maleic anhydride. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. If necessary, for example, to increase the number of carboxyl groups, a tricarboxylic acid anhydride such as trimellitic anhydride or a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride such as pyromellitic dianhydride may be used to hydrolyze the remaining anhydride groups. Furthermore, using tetrahydrophthalic anhydride or maleic anhydride, which have ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, as the polybasic acid anhydride can further increase the number of ethylenically unsaturated double bonds.
[0054] As a method similar to method (i), for example, there is a method in which an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an epoxy group is added to a part of the side chain carboxyl groups of a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a carboxyl group with one or more other monomers, thereby introducing an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and a carboxyl group.
[0055] [Method (ii)] Method (ii) is a method in which an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a hydroxyl group is used and copolymerized with another monomer of an unsaturated monobasic acid having a carboxyl group or another monomer, and the side chain hydroxyl group of the copolymer is reacted with an isocyanate group of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an isocyanate group.
[0056] As the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a hydroxyl group, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate is acrylate, 2- or 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 2- or 3 Examples of suitable hydroxyalkyl methacrylates include hydroxyalkyl methacrylates such as 4- or 5-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, glycerol mono(meth)acrylate, and cyclohexanedimethanol mono(meth)acrylate.

From the viewpoint of suppressing foreign matter in the coating, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate or glycerol mono(meth)acrylate is preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of sensitivity, it is preferable to use a compound having 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, with glycerol mono(meth)acrylate being even more preferred.
[0057] Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an isocyanate group include 2-(meth)acryloylethyl isocyanate, 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, and 1,1-bis[methacryloyloxy]ethyl isocyanate, but are not limited to these, and two or more types can also be used in combination.

[0065] <Thermosetting compound (E)> In the present invention, a thermosetting compound (E) can be further contained in combination with the thermoplastic resin as a binder resin. When a color filter is produced using the coloring composition for color filters of the present invention, the thermosetting compound reacts during baking of the filter segments to increase the crosslink density of the coating film, thereby improving the heat resistance of the filter segments, suppressing pigment aggregation during baking of the filter segments, and improving the contrast ratio.

In the present invention, melamine compounds of the methylol type or ether type, in which the number of methylol groups and / or ether groups per melamine ring is 5.0 or more on average, are preferred. If the number of methylol groups and / or ether groups per melamine ring is less than 5.0 on average, there are few reaction sites, and the crosslinked structure during curing is not sufficiently dense, which may reduce the effects of suppressing a decrease in contrast ratio due to a heat treatment step and improving NMP resistance.

[0108] These sensitizers can be used alone or in combination of two or more in any ratio as required. Commercially available products include "KAYACURE DETX-S" (2,4-diethylthioxanthone, manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.) and "CHEMARK DEABP" (4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, manufactured by Chemark Chemical Co., Ltd.).

[0111] <Thiol-based chain transfer agents (G)> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention preferably contains a thiol-based chain transfer agent as a chain transfer agent. By using thiol together with a photopolymerization initiator, it acts as a chain transfer agent in the radical polymerization process after light irradiation, and generates thiyl radicals that are not easily inhibited by oxygen in polymerization, so that the obtained coloring composition has high sensitivity.
[0112] Also preferred are polyfunctional aliphatic thiols having two or more SH groups bonded to aliphatic groups such as methylene or ethylene groups.

[0114] These thiol chain transfer agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0115] The content of the thiol chain transfer agent is preferably 0.1 to 2 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.2 to 1 part by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the colorant. Within this range, the effect of the chain transfer agent is enhanced, and sensitivity, tapered shape, wrinkles, film shrinkage rate, etc. are improved.
[0116] <Polymerization inhibitor (H)> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention may contain a polymerization inhibitor to prevent photosensitivity due to diffracted light from the mask during exposure. By adding the polymerization inhibitor, the effect of preventing curing from progressing beyond the desired pattern due to chain polymerization caused by photosensitivity can be obtained.

The content of the polymerization inhibitor is preferably 0.01 to 0.4 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the nonvolatile content of the coloring composition excluding the solvent. Within this range, the effect of the polymerization inhibitor becomes greater, and the linearity of the taper, wrinkles in the coating film, pattern resolution, etc. become better.
[0118] <Ultraviolet absorber (I)> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention may contain an ultraviolet absorber. The ultraviolet absorber in the present invention is an organic compound having an ultraviolet absorbing function, and examples thereof include benzotriazole-based organic compounds, triazine-based organic compounds, benzophenone-based organic compounds, salicylic acid ester-based organic compounds, cyanoacrylate-based organic compounds, and salicylate-based organic compounds.
[0119] The content of the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 5 to 70% by mass, based on 100% by mass of the total of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber. If the content of the ultraviolet absorber is less than the above, the effect of the ultraviolet absorber is small and the resolution cannot be ensured. If the content is more than the above, the sensitivity may decrease, causing problems such as pixel peeling and hole diameters larger than designed values.
[0120] In this case, when the photosensitive coloring composition contains a sensitizer, the content of the sensitizer is included in the content of the photopolymerization initiator.
[0121] The total content of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber is preferably 1 to 20% by mass relative to 100% by mass of the nonvolatile content of the photosensitive coloring composition. If the total content of the photopolymerization initiator and the ultraviolet absorber is less than the above range, adhesion may be weakened, causing pixel peeling, while if it is more than the above range, the sensitivity may be too high, resulting in poor resolution.
[0122] In this case, when the photosensitive coloring composition contains a sensitizer, the content of the sensitizer is included in the content of the photopolymerization initiator.

[0130] <Antioxidant (J)> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention can contain an antioxidant. The antioxidant prevents the photopolymerization initiator or thermosetting compound contained in the photosensitive coloring composition from oxidizing and yellowing during the thermal process of thermal curing or ITO annealing, thereby increasing the transmittance of the coating film. In particular, when the colorant concentration of the coloring composition is high, the amount of the coating film crosslinking component decreases, so measures such as using a highly sensitive crosslinking component or increasing the amount of photopolymerization initiator are taken, resulting in a phenomenon in which yellowing during the thermal process becomes more severe. 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.

Within this range, the effect is enhanced, and a good balance of adhesion, resolution, and sensitivity is achieved, which is more preferable.
[0160] <Method for producing photosensitive coloring composition> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention can be produced by finely dispersing a pigment in a dispersant, a binder resin and / or a solvent, preferably together with a dispersing aid (a dye derivative or a surfactant), using various dispersing 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. At this time, two or more pigments may be dispersed simultaneously in a colorant carrier, or they may be dispersed separately in pigment carriers and then mixed.
[0161] In addition, the photosensitive coloring composition can be prepared as a solvent-developable or alkali-developable coloring composition. The solvent-developable or alkali-developable coloring composition can be prepared by mixing the coloring composition with a polymerizable compound and / or a photopolymerization initiator, and, if necessary, a solvent, other dispersing aids, additives, etc. The photopolymerization initiator may be added at the stage of preparing the coloring composition, or may be added later to the prepared coloring composition.
[0162] <Removal of large particles> The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is preferably subjected to removal of coarse particles of 5 μm or more, preferably coarse particles of 1 μm or more, more preferably coarse particles of 0.5 μm or more, and contaminated dust by means of centrifugation, filtration with a sintered filter or membrane filter, etc. In this way, it is preferable that the coloring composition does not substantially contain particles of 0.5 μm or more, and more preferably 0.3 μm or less.
[0163] <Color filter> Next, the color filter of the present invention will be described. The color filter of the present invention comprises a red filter segment, a green filter segment, and a blue filter segment, and may further comprise a magenta filter segment, a cyan filter segment, and a yellow filter segment.
[0164] <Color filter manufacturing method> The color filter can be manufactured by a printing method or a photolithography method. Formation of filter segments by printing methods allows for patterning by simply repeating the printing and drying of a coloring composition prepared as a printing ink, making it a cost-effective and mass-producible method for producing color filters. Furthermore, advances in printing technology have made it possible to print fine patterns with high dimensional accuracy and smoothness. For printing, it is preferable to use a composition that prevents the ink from drying or solidifying on the printing plate or blanket. Controlling the ink's fluidity on the printing press is also important, and the ink viscosity can be adjusted using dispersants and extender pigments.
[0165] When forming filter segments by photolithography, the colored composition prepared as the solvent-developable or alkali-developable colored resist material is applied to a transparent substrate by a coating method such as spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, or roll coating to a dry film thickness of 0.2 to 5 μm. If necessary, the dried film is exposed (irradiated with radiation) through a mask having a predetermined pattern, which is placed in contact with or out of contact with the film. The uncured portions are then removed by immersion in a solvent or alkali developer or sprayed with a developer, etc., to form the desired pattern. The same process is then repeated for other colors to produce a color filter. Furthermore, heating can be applied as needed to promote polymerization of the colored resist material. Photolithography allows for the production of color filters with higher precision than the printing method.
[0166] For development, an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, or the like is used as an alkaline developer, and organic alkalis such as dimethylbenzylamine, triethanolamine, etc. may also be used. An antifoaming agent or a surfactant may also be added to the developer. In order to increase the exposure sensitivity, after the colored resist is applied and dried, a water-soluble or alkaline water-soluble resin, such as polyvinyl alcohol or a water-soluble acrylic resin, may be applied and dried to form a film that prevents polymerization inhibition by oxygen, and then exposure may be performed.
[0167] The color filter of the present invention can be produced by the above-mentioned method, as well as by an electrodeposition method, a transfer method, an inkjet method, or the like, and the coloring composition of the present invention can be used for any of these methods. The electrodeposition method is a method of producing a color filter by using a transparent conductive film formed on a substrate and electrodepositing each color filter segment onto the transparent conductive film by electrophoresis of colloidal particles. The transfer method is a method in which filter segments are formed in advance on the surface of a peelable transfer base sheet, and then the filter segments are transferred to a desired substrate.
[0168] A black matrix can be formed on a transparent or reflective substrate before forming each color filter segment. Examples of black matrices that can be used include, but are not limited to, chromium or chromium / chromium oxide multilayer films, inorganic films such as titanium nitride, and resin films with a dispersed light-blocking agent. Thin film transistors (TFTs) can also be formed on the transparent or reflective substrate beforehand, followed by the formation of each color filter segment. An overcoat film, a transparent conductive film, or the like can be formed on the color filter of the present invention as needed.

[0171] <Liquid crystal display device> A liquid crystal display device equipped with the color filter of the present invention will be described. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention comprises the color filter of the present invention and a light source. Examples of light sources include cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) and white LEDs. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a white LED because it broadens the red reproduction range. Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a liquid crystal display device 10 equipped with the color filter of the present invention. The device 10 shown in Figure 1 comprises a pair of transparent substrates 11 and 21 arranged at a distance from each other, with a liquid crystal LC sealed between them.
[0172] The liquid crystal LC is aligned according to a driving mode such as TN (Twisted Nematic), STN (Super Twisted Nematic), IPS (In-Plane Switching), VA (Vertical Alignment), or OCB (Optically Compensated Birefringence). A TFT (Thin Film Transistor) array 12 is formed on the inner surface of the first transparent substrate 11, and a transparent electrode layer 13 made of, for example, ITO is formed thereon. An alignment layer 14 is provided on the transparent electrode layer 13. A polarizer 15 is formed on the outer surface of the transparent substrate 11.
[0173] On the other hand, a color filter 22 of the present invention is formed on the inner surface of the second transparent substrate 21. Red, green, and blue filter segments that make up the color filter 22 are separated by a black matrix (not shown).
[0174] A transparent protective film (not shown) is formed as needed to cover the color filter 22, and a transparent electrode layer 23 made of, for example, ITO is formed on top of that, and an alignment layer 24 is provided to cover the transparent electrode layer 23.
[0175] A polarizing plate 25 is formed on the outer surface of the transparent substrate 21. Below the polarizing plate 25, a backlight unit 30 is provided.
[0176] The white LED light source includes a blue LED with a fluorescent filter formed on the surface, and a blue LED with a fluorescent material contained in the resin package, and has a wavelength (λ3) in the range of 430 nm to 485 nm at which the emission intensity becomes maximum, a wavelength (λ4) in the range of 530 nm to 580 nm at which the emission intensity becomes maximum, and a wavelength (λ5) in the range of 600 nm to 650 nm at which the emission intensity becomes maximum, and the ratio (I4 / I3) of the emission intensity I3 at wavelength λ3 to the emission intensity I4 at wavelength λ4 is 0.2 or more and 0.4 or less. Therefore, a white LED light source (LED1) having spectral characteristics in which the ratio (I5 / I3) of the emission intensity I3 at wavelength λ3 to the emission intensity I5 at wavelength λ5 is 0.1 or more and 1.3 or less, or a white LED light source (LED2) having a wavelength (λ1) at which the emission intensity is maximum in the range of 430 nm to 485 nm, a peak wavelength (λ2) of the second emission intensity in the range of 530 nm to 580 nm, and a ratio (I2 / I1) of the emission intensity I1 at wavelength λ1 to the emission intensity I2 at wavelength λ2 is 0.2 or more and 0.7 or less is preferred.

[0179] <Solid-state imaging element> The solid-state imaging device of the present invention includes the color filter of the present invention. The configuration of the solid-state imaging device of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a configuration including the color filter for the solid-state imaging device of the present invention and functions as a solid-state imaging device, but examples thereof include the following configurations. The solid-state imaging device has a substrate on which are disposed a plurality of photodiodes constituting the light receiving area of the solid-state imaging element (CCD sensor, CMOS sensor, organic CMOS sensor, etc.) and transfer electrodes made of polysilicon or the like; a light-shielding film made of tungsten or the like with only the light-receiving portion of the photodiodes exposed on the photodiodes and the transfer electrodes; a device protection film made of silicon nitride or the like formed on the light-shielding film so as to cover the entire light-shielding film and the light-receiving portion of the photodiodes; and a color filter segment for the solid-state imaging element of the present invention on the device protection film. Furthermore, the device may have a configuration in which a focusing means (e.g., a microlens, etc.; the same applies below) is provided on the device protection layer and below the color filter segments (on the side closer to the substrate), or a configuration in which a focusing means is provided on the color filter segments. The organic CMOS sensor is composed of a thin-film panchromatic organic photoelectric conversion film as the photoelectric conversion layer and a CMOS signal readout substrate, and has a two-layer hybrid structure in which the organic material captures light and converts it into an electrical signal, while the inorganic material extracts the electrical signal externally, and in principle, can achieve a 100% aperture ratio for incident light.The organic photoelectric conversion film is a structure-free continuous film that can be laid on the CMOS signal readout substrate, so it does not require expensive microfabrication processes and is suitable for miniaturizing filter segments. The arrangement of the color filter segments is not particularly limited, and any known method can be used. [Example]
[0180] The present invention will be described below with reference to examples. In the examples, "parts" and "%" represent "parts by mass" and "% by mass", respectively. It should be noted that Examples 3, 4, 11, and 12 are reference examples.
[0181] The weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), acid value (mgKOH / g), amine value (mgKOH / g), and ammonium salt value (mgKOH / g) for resins such as binder resins, resin-type dispersants, and resins that form dye salts are as follows:
[0182] <Non-volatile content, non-volatile content concentration> In the present invention, the nonvolatile content refers to the mass remaining after leaving the mixture to stand in an oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
[0183] <Weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn)> The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with an RI detector. The instrument used was an HLC-8220GPC (Tosoh Corporation). Two separation columns were connected in series, and both columns were packed with "TSK-GEL SUPER HZM-N" packing. Measurements were performed at an oven temperature of 40°C, a THF solution as the eluent, and a flow rate of 0.35 ml / min. The sample was dissolved in a solvent consisting of 1% by mass of the above eluent, and 20 microliters was injected. All molecular weights are expressed in terms of polystyrene.
[0184] <Acid value (mgKOH / g)> 80 ml of acetone and 10 ml of water were added to 0.5 to 1 g of resin solution, and the mixture was stirred to dissolve uniformly. The resin solution was titrated using an automatic titrator ("COM-555" manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo) with a 0.1 mol / L KOH aqueous solution as the titrant, and the acid value (mg KOH / g) of the resin solution was measured. The acid value per unit of nonvolatile content of the resin was then calculated from the acid value of the resin solution and the concentration of nonvolatile content of the resin solution.
[0185] <Ammonium salt value (mgKOH / g)> The ammonium salt value is determined by titration with 0.1N silver nitrate solution using 5% potassium chromate solution as an indicator, and then converted into the potassium hydroxide equivalent, and indicates the ammonium salt value of the non-volatile content.

[0218] [Table 3]
[0219] Details of the photosensitive coloring composition (Y-1) and the components used in Table 3 are as follows. <Production of binder resin (B2-2-M) mixed liquid> (Preparation of binder resin (B2-2-1) liquid) A separable four-neck flask was fitted with a thermometer, a condenser, a nitrogen gas inlet tube, a dropping tube, and a stirrer. 207 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was charged into the reaction vessel, which was then heated to 80°C and purged with nitrogen. Then, a mixture of 20 parts of methacrylic acid, 20 parts of paracumylphenol ethylene oxide-modified acrylate (Toagosei Co., Ltd., Aronix M110), 45 parts of methyl methacrylate, 8.5 parts of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and 1.33 parts of 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile was added dropwise over 2 hours. After the dropwise addition was completed, the reaction was continued for another 3 hours to obtain a copolymer resin solution. Next, the nitrogen gas flow was stopped and the resulting copolymer solution was stirred with dry air for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, a mixture of 6.5 parts of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (Karens MOI, Showa Denko K.K.), 0.08 parts of dibutyltin laurate, and 26 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added dropwise at 70°C over 3 hours. After the addition was completed, the reaction was continued for another hour to obtain an acrylic resin solution. After cooling to room temperature, approximately 2 parts of the resin solution was sampled and dried at 180°C for 20 minutes to measure the nonvolatile content. Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added to the previously synthesized resin solution to achieve a nonvolatile content of 20% to prepare binder resin (B2-2-1). The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) was 18,000.
[0220] (Preparation of binder resin (B2-2-2) liquid) 333 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was introduced into a flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux condenser, a dropping funnel, and a nitrogen inlet tube. The atmosphere in the flask was then changed from air to nitrogen, and the temperature was then raised to 100°C. After that, a solution of 70.5 g (0.40 mol) of benzyl methacrylate, 71.1 g (0.50 mol) of glycidyl methacrylate, 22.0 g (0.10 mol) of a tricyclodecane-based monomethacrylate (FA-513M manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.), and 164 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to which 3.6 g of azobisisobutyronitrile had been added was added dropwise from the dropping funnel to the flask over 2 hours, and stirring was continued for a further 5 hours at 100°C. Next, the atmosphere in the flask was changed from nitrogen to air, and 43.0 g (0.5 mol, (100 mol% relative to the glycidyl groups of the glycidyl methacrylate used in this reaction) of methacrylic acid, 0.9 g of tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, and 0.145 g of hydroquinone were added to the flask. The reaction was continued for 6 hours at 110 ° C., and the reaction was terminated when the nonvolatile acid value reached 1 mg KOH / g. Next, 60.9 g (0.40 mol) of tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and 0.8 g of triethylamine were added, and the reaction was continued for 3.5 hours at 120 ° C., resulting in a photosensitive transparent resin solution with an acid value of 80 mg KOH / g. After cooling to room temperature, approximately 2 g of the photosensitive transparent resin solution was sampled and dried at 180°C for 20 minutes to measure the nonvolatile content. Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added to the previously synthesized photosensitive transparent resin solution to adjust the nonvolatile content to 20% by mass, thereby preparing a binder resin (B2-2-2). The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) was 12,000.
[0221] (Adjustment of binder resin (B2-2-3) liquid) A flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer, a reflux condenser, a dropping funnel, and a nitrogen inlet tube was charged with 182 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and the atmosphere in the flask was changed from air to nitrogen. After that, the temperature was raised to 100°C, and then a solution of 3.6 g of azobisisobutyronitrile added to a mixture of 70.5 g (0.40 mol) of benzyl methacrylate, 43.0 g (0.5 mol) of methacrylic acid, 22.0 g (0.10 mol) of a tricyclodecane-based monomethacrylate (FA-513M manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.), and 136 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added dropwise from the dropping funnel to the flask over 2 hours, and stirring was continued for a further 5 hours at 100°C. Next, the atmosphere in the flask was changed from nitrogen to air, and 35.5 g of glycidyl methacrylate (0.25 mol, 50 mol% relative to the carboxyl groups of the methacrylic acid used in this reaction), 0.9 g of tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, and 0.145 g of hydroquinone were added to the flask. The reaction was continued at 110 °C for 6 hours, resulting in a photosensitive transparent resin solution with an acid value of 79 mg KOH / g. After cooling to room temperature, approximately 2 g of the photosensitive transparent resin solution was sampled and dried at 180 °C for 20 minutes to measure the nonvolatile content. Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added to the previously synthesized photosensitive transparent resin solution to achieve a nonvolatile content of 20% by weight, thereby preparing a binder resin (B2-2-3). The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) was 13,000.
[0222] (Preparation of binder resin (B2-2-4) liquid) A separable flask equipped with a condenser was prepared as a reaction vessel. On the other hand, a monomer dropping vessel containing 40 parts of dimethyl-2,2'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis-2-propenoate, 40 parts of methacrylic acid, 120 parts of methyl methacrylate, 4 parts of t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate ("Perbutyl O" manufactured by NOF Corporation), and 40 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was prepared with thorough stirring. A chain transfer agent dropping vessel containing 8 parts of n-dodecanethiol and 32 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was prepared with thorough stirring. A reactor was charged with 395 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate and purged with nitrogen. The reactor was then heated in an oil bath with stirring to 90°C. After the reactor temperature stabilized at 90°C, dropwise addition was initiated from the monomer dropper and chain transfer agent dropper. The dropper was maintained at 90°C for 135 minutes. Sixty minutes after the dropper was completed, the temperature was raised to 110°C. After maintaining the temperature at 110°C for 3 hours, a gas inlet tube was attached to the separable flask, and bubbling with a 5 / 95 (volume ratio) oxygen / nitrogen mixed gas began. Next, 70 parts of glycidyl methacrylate, 0.4 parts of 2,2'-methylenebis(4-methyl-6-t-butylphenol), and 0.8 parts of triethylamine were charged to the reactor, and the reaction was continued at 110°C for 12 hours. After that, 150 parts of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate was added and the mixture was cooled to room temperature. Approximately 2 g of the resin solution was sampled and dried at 180°C for 20 minutes to measure the nonvolatile content. Further addition of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to the resin solution synthesized earlier to achieve a nonvolatile content of 20% by mass produced binder resin (B2-2-4). The resin had a mass average molecular weight (Mw) of 18,000 and an acid value per nonvolatile content of 2 mgKOH / g.
