Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive coloring composition, and a color filter, an image display device, and a solid-state imaging device using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] A color filter is formed by arranging two or more fine band-shaped filter segments of different hues on a transparent substrate such as a glass substrate, either parallel to each other (in stripes) or crossing each other, or by arranging two or more fine filter segments of different hues in order in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The filter segments have small dimensions of several microns to several hundred microns, and are arranged in a predetermined order for each hue.
[0003] Currently, color filter manufacturing methods include the steps of applying a photosensitive coloring composition to a transparent substrate such as glass and drying to remove the solvent from the coating, irradiating and curing the coating with ultraviolet light or the like through a photomask having the desired pattern (hereinafter referred to as exposure), washing and removing the unexposed areas of the coating (hereinafter referred to as development), and then, if necessary, performing a heat treatment (hereinafter referred to as post-baking) to sufficiently harden the cured film, thereby obtaining a filter segment pattern of a first color. Filter segment patterns of other colors are then formed by performing similar operations to complete a color filter.
[0004] In recent years, the trend toward smaller image display devices and solid-state imaging devices with higher pixel counts has led to a trend toward smaller pixel areas. This has led to demands for thinner films and higher-resolution patterns, thanks to increased concentrations of colorants contained in compositions forming color filters. However, increasing the concentration of colorants reduces the transmittance of ultraviolet light into the film, resulting in poorer curing and reduced adhesion to the substrate. This is particularly true when patterns are highly refined. Furthermore, increasing the amount of photopolymerization initiator to increase the curing degree results in problems such as patterns that are thicker than the desired line width and poorer in shape.
[0005] Furthermore, in order to increase the concentration of the colorant, it is necessary to reduce the amount of other components, which causes problems such as a decrease in the developability of the photosensitive coloring composition and a decrease in the solvent resistance of the coating film.
[0006] To address these problems, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a curable composition for color filters that contains a binder resin having an acid group and an unsaturated double bond, in order to obtain a pattern with excellent resolution and adhesion. The acid group is bonded to the main chain via a linking group whose main skeleton has two or more atoms, and the unsaturated double bond is located in a side chain. Patent Document 2 discloses a photosensitive resin composition that contains an amine compound of a specific structure and an ultraviolet absorber having a maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) of 335 to 365 nm. Patent Document 3 discloses a curable composition that contains a multifunctional thiol compound having two or more thiol groups and an interactive group different from the thiol groups. Patent Document 4 discloses a photosensitive resin composition that contains a photopolymerization initiator of a specific structure and a photopolymerization initiator having a maximum absorption wavelength of 334 nm or longer in the wavelength range of 320 to 400 nm. Patent Document 5 also describes a polymerizable monomer M having three groups each having an ethylenically unsaturated group bond, in which the ratio of the mass of the photopolymerization initiator I to the mass of the polymerizable monomer M is 0.15 or less. 1 Photopolymerization initiator I has a molar absorption coefficient of 12,000 L mol at a wavelength of 365 nm. -1 ·cm -1 Photopolymerization initiator I 1A photosensitive composition comprising: [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0027] (dye) The dye is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include acid dyes, direct dyes, basic dyes, salt-forming dyes, oil-soluble dyes, disperse dyes, reactive dyes, mordant dyes, vat dyes, sulfur dyes, etc. Furthermore, the dye may be in the form of a derivative thereof or a lake pigment obtained by laking a dye.
[0028] 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.
[0029] 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.
[0030] Furthermore, when the dye skeleton has a polymerizable unsaturated group, the dye can be made to have excellent durability, which is preferable.
[0031] 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, polymer dyes, and the like. Examples of the dye structure include, but are not limited to, dyes derived from dyes selected from tin dyes (oxonol dyes, merocyanine dyes, arylidene dyes, styryl dyes, cyanine dyes, squarylium dyes, croconium dyes, etc.), quinophthalone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, subphthalocyanine dyes, perinone dyes, indigo dyes, thioindigo dyes, quinoline dyes, nitro dyes, nitroso dyes, rhodamine dyes, and metal complex dyes thereof.
[0032] 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.
[0033] The colorant (A) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
[0034] The content of the colorant (A) is preferably from 5 to 70 mass %, more preferably from 10 to 60 mass %, based on 100 mass % of the nonvolatile content of the photosensitive coloring composition.
[0035] (Fine pigment particle size) The pigment is preferably micronized before use. The micronization method is not particularly limited, and for example, wet milling, dry milling, or solution precipitation can be used. Among these, salt milling treatment using a kneader method, which is a type of wet milling, is preferred. The average primary particle diameter of the micronized pigment determined by TEM (transmission electron microscope) is preferably 5 to 90 nm. From the viewpoints of dispersibility and contrast ratio, the average primary particle diameter is more preferably 10 to 70 nm.
[0036] 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 heat using a kneader, two-roll mill, three-roll mill, ball mill, attritor, sand mill, or other kneading machine, 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.
[0037] Examples of water-soluble inorganic salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate, with sodium chloride (table salt) being preferred from the standpoint of cost. From the standpoint of both treatment efficiency and production efficiency, the amount of water-soluble inorganic salt used is preferably 50 to 2,000 parts by mass, and more preferably 300 to 1,000 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0038] 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 for safety reasons. 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 amount of water-soluble organic solvent used is preferably 5 to 1,000 parts by weight, more preferably 50 to 500 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
[0039] A resin may be added to the salt milling treatment as needed. By adding a resin, the pigment is coated with the resin, improving stability, light resistance, and the like. The type of resin is not particularly limited, and examples include natural resins, modified natural resins, synthetic resins, and synthetic resins modified with natural resins. Among these, resins that are solid at room temperature and insoluble in water are preferred, and those that are partially soluble in the organic solvents mentioned above are also preferred. The amount of resin added is preferably 2 to 200 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the pigment.
[0040] [Alkali-soluble resin (B)] The photosensitive composition of the present invention contains an alkali-soluble resin (B).
[0041] The alkali-soluble resin (B) is not particularly limited, and known resins can be used.
[0042] The alkali-soluble resin (B) can be classified into a non-photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B1) and a photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2). Among these, a photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2) is preferably included from the viewpoints of adhesion, pattern shape, and solvent resistance. Furthermore, the alkali-soluble resin (B) preferably contains an alkali-soluble group from the viewpoint of developability. Examples of the alkali-soluble group include a carboxyl group, a phosphate group, a sulfonic acid group, a hydroxyl group, and a phenolic hydroxyl group. Among these, a carboxyl group is preferred. The alkali-soluble resin (B) may contain a thermosetting group such as an epoxy group or an oxetanyl group.
[0043] (Non-photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B1)) Examples of the non-photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B1) include an acrylic resin having an acidic group, an α-olefin / maleic acid (anhydride) copolymer, a styrene / styrene sulfonic acid copolymer, an ethylene / (meth)acrylic acid copolymer, or an isobutylene / maleic acid (anhydride) copolymer, etc. Among these, an acrylic resin having an acidic group and a styrene / styrene sulfonic acid copolymer are preferred.
[0044] (Photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2)) The photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2) is an alkali-soluble resin having a polymerizable unsaturated group. The photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2) is preferably a resin synthesized by, for example, the following method (i) or (ii).
[0045] [Method (i)] In the method (i), for example, a polymer of an epoxy group-containing monomer and other monomers is first synthesized, and then a monocarboxyl group-containing monomer is added to the epoxy group of the polymer, and the resulting hydroxyl group is reacted with a polybasic acid anhydride to obtain the photosensitive alkali-soluble resin (B2).

[0060] [Polymerizable compound (C)] The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention contains, as the polymerizable compound (C), two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following general formulas (1) to (4).
[0061] General formula (1) [ka] (In general formula (1), R1 and R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 and R4 each independently represent an alkylene group, and k and l each independently represent an integer of 1 to 20.) General formula (2) [ka] (In general formula (2), R5 and R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R6 and R8 each independently represent an alkylene group, and m and n each independently represent an integer of 0 to 5. When m and n are 0, they represent a single bond.) General formula (3) [ka] (In general formula (3), R9, R 11 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 10 , R 12 each independently represents an alkylene group, and p and q each independently represent an integer of 1 to 10. General formula (4) [ka] (In general formula (4), R 13 , R 15 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 14 , R 16each independently represents an alkylene group, and x and y each independently represent an integer of 0 to 10. When x and y are 0, they represent a single bond.
[0062] When the polymerizable compound (C) contains two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by general formulas (1) to (4), the developability, adhesion, pattern shape, and solvent resistance are improved. Although the detailed mechanism is unclear, it is believed that the compounds represented by general formulas (1) to (4) have multiple aromatic rings in each molecule, which allows molecules to stack tightly together through π-π interactions, improving film adhesion. Furthermore, because they have a bulky structure, the uniform distribution of polymerizable unsaturated groups throughout the film is thought to enhance curability and improve adhesion. Furthermore, because compounds with different structures are polymerized, the polymer has a random structure, and because there are two polymerizable unsaturated groups, it has an appropriate cross-linking density. As a result, the coating film is easy to develop and has a structure that softens moderately when exposed to heat. This is thought to cause thermal sagging of the pattern during post-baking, resulting in a good cross-sectional pattern shape.

[0185] [Method for producing photosensitive coloring composition] The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention can be produced by, for example, adding a colorant (A), a dye derivative (E), a dispersing resin (F), an organic solvent (P), and the like and dispersing the mixture. The dispersion can then be mixed with an alkali-soluble resin (B), a polymerizable compound (C), and a photopolymerization initiator (D). The timing of mixing each material can be arbitrary.

[0186] Examples of dispersing machines for carrying out the dispersion treatment include a two-roll mill, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, a horizontal sand mill, a vertical sand mill, an annular bead mill, and an attritor.
[0187] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) of the colorant (A) in the dispersion is preferably 30 to 200 nm, more preferably 40 to 200 nm. If the colorant (A) has an appropriate particle size, it is easy to obtain a photosensitive coloring composition with high dispersion stability.
[0188] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) is measured using, for example, Nikkiso's Microtrac UPA-EX150, which employs dynamic light scattering (FFT power spectrum method), with particle permeability set to absorption mode, particle shape set to non-spherical, and the D50 particle size set to the average size. The dilution solvent used for measurement is the same organic solvent used for dispersion, and it is preferable to measure samples treated with ultrasound immediately after sample preparation, as this tends to provide results with little variation.
[0189] The photosensitive coloring composition is preferably subjected to centrifugation, filtration using a sintered filter or a membrane filter, etc., to remove 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 dust particles mixed in. The photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention preferably does not substantially contain particles of 0.5 μm or more, and more preferably does not contain particles of 0.3 μm or less.
[0190] <Color filter> The color filter of the present invention includes a substrate and filter segments formed from the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention. The color filter segments preferably have red, green, and blue filter segments by appropriately selecting the type of colorant (A) used. The color filter can also have magenta, cyan, and yellow filter segments instead of or in addition to the color filter segments. The substrate may be a transparent substrate or a reflective substrate. The transparent substrate may be, for example, a glass substrate. The reflective substrate may be, for example, a substrate using an aluminum electrode or a metal thin film as a reflective surface.
[0191] [Color filter manufacturing method] The method for producing a color filter is not particularly limited, and the color filter can be produced, for example, by carrying out the following steps: step (1) of applying a photosensitive coloring composition onto a substrate to form a layer of the composition; step (2) of exposing the layer to light in a pattern through a mask; step (3) of developing the unexposed portions with an alkali to form a patterned cured film; and step (4) of heat-treating (post-baking) the pattern.
[0192] The method for producing a color filter will be described in detail below. (Process (1)) In the step (1) of forming a composition layer, the photosensitive coloring composition is applied onto a substrate by a method such as spin coating, roll coating, slit coating, casting coating, or inkjet coating, and then dried (pre-baked) at a temperature of 50 to 120°C for 10 to 120 seconds using an oven, a hot plate, or the like, as needed. Examples of the substrate include a glass substrate and a silicon substrate. The silicon substrate may have an imaging element such as a CCD or a CMOS formed on its surface. If necessary, an undercoat layer may be provided on the substrate to improve adhesion with upper layers, prevent diffusion of substances, and flatten the substrate surface. The coating is preferably carried out so that the layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 10.0 μm after drying, and more preferably 0.3 to 5 μm.
[0193] (Process (2)) In the exposure step, the layer obtained in step (1) is exposed to light in a specific pattern through a mask using an exposure device such as a stepper, thereby obtaining a cured film. Examples of radiation used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as g-rays, h-rays, and i-rays.
[0194] (Step (3)) The cured film obtained in step (2) is subjected to an alkali development treatment, whereby the composition layer in the unexposed areas is dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution, leaving only the cured areas, thereby obtaining a patterned cured film. Examples of the developer include alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene. The concentration of the developer is preferably from 0.001 to 10% by mass, more preferably from 0.01 to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkaline developer is preferably 11 to 13, more preferably 11.5 to 12.5. When used at an appropriate pH, it suppresses pattern roughening and peeling, and improves the remaining film rate after development.
[0195] Examples of the developing method include a dipping method, a spraying method, a puddling method, etc. The developing temperature is preferably 15 to 40° C. After the alkaline development, it is preferable to wash with pure water.
[0196] (Step (4)) The heat treatment (post-baking) is performed by heating the patterned cured film obtained in step (3) to sufficiently cure it. The heating temperature for post-baking is preferably 100 to 300° C., more preferably 150 to 250° C. The heating time is preferably about 2 minutes to 1 hour, more preferably about 3 minutes to 30 minutes.

The solid-state imaging device may be formed in any suitable form, including, for example, a substrate having a plurality of photodiodes constituting the light-receiving area of the solid-state imaging device (e.g., a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, etc.) and transfer electrodes made of polysilicon or the like; a light-shielding film formed on the photodiodes and transfer electrodes, with only the light-receiving portions of the photodiodes exposed; 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 portions of the photodiodes; and a color filter on the device protection film. Furthermore, the device protection film may have a light-focusing means (e.g., a microlens, etc.; the same applies hereinafter) on the device protection film below the color filter (closer to the substrate), or a light-focusing means on the color filter. The color filter may have a structure in which a cured film forming each color pixel is embedded in spaces partitioned by partition walls, for example, in a grid pattern. In this case, the partition walls preferably have a low refractive index relative to the color pixels. An imaging device including a solid-state imaging element of the present invention can be used for digital cameras, electronic devices with imaging functions (such as mobile phones and smartphones), as well as in-vehicle cameras and surveillance cameras. [Example]

The instrument used was a Tosoh HLC-8220GPC. Two separation columns were connected in series, and both columns were packed with TSK-GEL SUPER HZM-N. Measurements were performed at an oven temperature of 40°C, a tetrahydrofuran (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. The molecular weight is expressed in terms of polystyrene.
