[0001] The present invention relates to a pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix and a method for producing the same, a resist composition for a black matrix, and a black resist film. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, resist compositions using pigment dispersion compositions for black matrices containing carbon black, a basic group-containing pigment dispersant, an acidic group-containing pigment dispersing aid, a binder resin, a solvent, and the like are required to have high optical density (light-shielding properties) and fine line adhesion (resolution) (Patent Document 1), and it is known that the optical density (light-shielding properties) and the like can be improved by washing carbon black to reduce potassium ions (Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-38289 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-316620 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, washing carbon black as described above requires the use of a large amount of water and further requires complicated operations such as washing, filtration, and drying. Also, a method for removing potassium ions from a composition is generally known in which the composition is passed through a resin column equipped with an ion exchange resin, but this method requires a large amount of ion exchange resin, which results in high costs for procuring and disposing of the ion exchange resin.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pigment dispersion composition for black matrix which can provide a resist composition for black matrix which is excellent in optical density and fine line adhesion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] That is, the present invention relates to a pigment dispersion composition for black matrices, which comprises carbon black, a basic group-containing pigment dispersant, an acidic group-containing pigment dispersing aid, an alkali-soluble resin, an ion scavenger, and a solvent, wherein the carbon black is acidic carbon black, and the ion scavenger is an inorganic compound having a median diameter of 0.1 to 10 μm, and the amount of the ion scavenger is 1 to 15 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the carbon black.

[0007] The present invention also relates to a resist composition for a black matrix, which contains the pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix, a photopolymerizable compound, and a photopolymerization initiator.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a black resist film obtained using the black matrix resist composition.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for producing the pigment dispersion composition for a black matrix, which comprises dispersing at least the carbon black in the presence of the ion scavenger. [Effects of the Invention]

The pigment dispersion composition for black matrix of the present invention uses the ion scavenger to capture substances containing ions such as potassium ions that are mixed in during the production of the acidic carbon black, thereby making it possible to obtain a black matrix resist composition that is excellent in optical density and fine-line adhesion, without requiring procedures such as washing the acidic carbon black.

[0065] <Examples 2-1 to 2-11, Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-6> <Preparation of Black Matrix Resist Composition> The various raw materials shown in Tables 3 and 4 were mixed using a high-speed stirrer to obtain the formulations (mass %) shown in Tables 3 and 4, and then filtered through a filter with a pore size of 0.5 μm to prepare black matrix resist compositions for each of the Examples and Comparative Examples.

[0066] The black matrix resist composition obtained above was used to evaluate each item according to the following evaluation methods. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0067] <Evaluation of the optical density (OD value) of the resist pattern> Each of the above black matrix resist compositions was applied to a glass substrate (Corning 1737) using a spin coater to a film thickness of 1 μm. After pre-baking at 100°C for 3 minutes, the substrate was exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp and post-baked at 230°C for 30 minutes to obtain a resist film formed only in the solid areas. The optical density (OD value) of each of the resulting resist films in the solid areas was measured using a Macbeth densitometer (TD-931, product name, manufactured by Macbeth). An optical density (OD value) of 4.0 or higher was considered acceptable.

[0068] <Evaluation of Fine Line Adhesion (A) and (B) of Black Resist Film> Each of the above black matrix resist compositions was applied to a glass substrate (EAGLE XG) using a spin coater to a film thickness of 1 μm, and prebaked at 100° C. for 3 minutes. Next, using a photomask having a line pattern with a line width of 1 μm to 20 μm and 1 μm intervals, the resist composition was irradiated with a UV integrated dose of 100 mJ / cm using a high-pressure mercury lamp. 2 After that, the film was exposed to light at 1 kgf / cm in a 0.05% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution at 23°C. 2Development was started from the time when the development pattern began to appear (break point) at a shower development pressure of 1 kgf / cm. In the evaluation of fine line adhesion (A), development was stopped when the time reached 1.3 times the break point, and in the evaluation of fine line adhesion (B), development was stopped 30 seconds after the break point. 2 The glass substrate was then rinsed with high-pressure spray water. The size (μm) of the smallest line pattern remaining on the glass substrate was evaluated. The pass criteria for evaluation of fine line adhesion (A) were a break point of 50±25 seconds and a smallest line pattern size of 10 μm or less. The pass criteria for evaluation of fine line adhesion (B) were a break point of 20±10 seconds and a smallest line pattern size of 8 μm or less.

[0069] <Measurement of surface resistance of black resist film> Each of the above black matrix resist compositions was applied to a glass substrate (EAGLE XG) using a spin coater to a film thickness of 1 μm, prebaked at 100°C for 3 minutes, and then exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp (UV integrated light dose 80 mJ / cm 2 ) and then post-baked at 230°C for 60 minutes to produce a black resist pattern (black matrix) consisting only of the solid area. The surface resistance of each black resist pattern was measured using a microcurrent meter R8340 and an optional shielding box R12702A (both manufactured by Advance Co., Ltd.).
