Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive composition, a cured film using the same, an optical filter, an image display device, a solid-state imaging device, and an infrared sensor. [Background technology]

[0002] Video cameras, digital cameras, mobile devices with camera functions, and the like use solid-state imaging elements for color images, such as CCDs (charge-coupled devices) and CMOSs ​​(complementary metal-oxide semiconductors). The light-receiving sections of these solid-state imaging elements use silicon photodiodes that are sensitive to infrared light, so luminosity correction is required, and an infrared cut filter or the like is disposed. The infrared cut filter is manufactured, for example, using a composition containing an infrared-absorbing compound.

[0003] Conventionally, infrared cut filters have been used as flat films, but in recent years, studies have been conducted to form patterns of infrared cut filters using photolithography. However, infrared absorbing compounds used in infrared cut filters and the like have low heat resistance, and there is a problem that their near-infrared absorption ability decreases during heat treatment (post-baking) during pattern formation. On the other hand, films with high heat resistance have problems such as poor developability and pattern formability.

[0004] Various efforts have been made to solve the above problems. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a thermosetting resin composition containing two types of cyanine compounds, an epoxy resin with a specific structure, and an epoxy resin curing agent as a resin composition capable of producing an infrared cut filter with excellent processability and heat resistance. Furthermore, Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose photosensitive resin compositions for near-infrared absorbers that can obtain fine patterns, the photosensitive resin compositions containing a phthalocyanine compound having an absorption maximum wavelength in the near-infrared region, a binder resin, a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a solvent.

[0006] However, none of the compositions described in Patent Documents 1, 2 and 3 satisfy all of the requirements for developability, pattern formability and heat resistance.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive composition that is excellent in developability and can form a cured film that is excellent in pattern formability and heat resistance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention relates to a photosensitive composition comprising an infrared absorbing compound (A), an alkali-soluble resin (B), a polymerizable compound (C), a photopolymerization initiator (D), and a benzophenone-based sensitizer (E), wherein the content of the benzophenone-based sensitizer (E) is 100 to 500 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the photopolymerization initiator (D). [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, there is provided a photosensitive composition capable of forming a cured film having excellent developability, pattern formability, and heat resistance. The present invention also provides the cured film, an optical filter, an image display device, a solid-state imaging device, and an infrared sensor. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

In addition, a salt-forming compound of an acid dye and a compound having an onium salt group is also preferred because it has excellent resistance (light resistance, solvent resistance). The compound having an onium salt group is preferably a resin having a cationic group.

From the viewpoints of dispersibility and contrast ratio, the average primary particle diameter is more preferably 10 to 70 nm.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0240] The organic solvent (Q) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0241] [Method for producing photosensitive composition] The photosensitive composition of the present invention can be produced by, for example, adding an infrared absorbing compound (A), a dispersing resin (G), an organic solvent (Q), and the like and performing a dispersion treatment to produce a dispersion. The dispersion can then be mixed with an alkali-soluble resin (B), a polymerizable compound (C), a photopolymerization initiator (D), and the like. The timing of blending each material is optional. The dispersion process can also be performed multiple times.

[0242] 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.

[0243] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) of the infrared absorbing compound (A) in the dispersion is preferably 30 to 200 nm, more preferably 40 to 200 nm. When the particle size is appropriate, a photosensitive composition with high dispersion stability is easily obtained.

[0244] 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.

[0245] The photosensitive composition is preferably subjected to removal of coarse particles of 5 μm or larger, preferably coarse particles of 1 μm or larger, and more preferably coarse particles of 0.5 μm or larger, as well as any dust particles that have been mixed in, by means of centrifugation, filtration through a sintered filter or membrane filter, etc. The photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains substantially no particles of 0.5 μm or larger, and more preferably contains no particles of 0.3 μm or smaller.

[0246] <Cured film> The cured film of the present invention can be obtained by curing a film formed using the photosensitive composition of the present invention through a treatment such as exposure to light.

[0247] [Method of manufacturing cured film] The method for producing the cured film is not particularly limited, and the film can be produced, for example, by carrying out the following steps: step (1) of applying a photosensitive 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.

[0248] The method for producing the cured film will be described in detail below. (Process (1)) In the step (1) of forming a composition layer, the photosensitive composition is applied onto a substrate by, for example, 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 μm after drying, and more preferably 0.3 to 5 μm.

[0249] (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.

[0250] (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 parts by mass, more preferably from 0.01 to 1 part 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.

[0251] 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.

[0252] (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.

[0253] <Optical filters> The cured film of the present invention can be used for optical filters. In particular, it can be preferably used as an infrared cut filter. It can also be used as an infrared transmission filter. The optical filter of the present invention can be produced by the same method as the above-mentioned cured film.

[0254] <Image display device> The cured film of the present invention can be used in an image display device.

[0255] An example of an image display device of the present invention will be described. The image display device comprises the cured film of the present invention and a light source. Examples of light sources include cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) and white LEDs, but in the present invention, it is preferable to use white LEDs because they broaden the red reproduction range. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of an image display device comprising the cured film of the present invention. The image display device 10 shown in FIG. 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.

[0259] 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.

[0260] 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.

[0261] On the other hand, a color filter 22 is formed on the inner surface of the second transparent substrate 21. Red, green, and blue filter segments that constitute the color filter 22 are separated by a black matrix (not shown).

[0262] 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.

[0263] 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.

[0264] 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.

[0265] Specific examples of the LED 1 include NSSW306D-HG-V1 (manufactured by Nichia Corporation) and NSSW304D-HG-V1 (manufactured by Nichia Corporation).

[0266] Specific examples of the LED 2 include NSSW440 (manufactured by Nichia Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and NSSW304D (manufactured by Nichia Chemical Industries, Ltd.).

[0267] <Solid-state imaging element> The cured film of the present invention can be used in a solid-state imaging device. The form of the solid-state imaging device used is not particularly limited, but examples include a substrate having a plurality of photodiodes constituting the light-receiving area of ​​the solid-state imaging device (such as a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, or an organic CMOS image sensor) and a light-receiving element made of polysilicon or the like, and the cured film of the present invention on the side where the light-receiving element is formed or on the side opposite to the side where the light-receiving element is formed. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a solid-state imaging device provided with the cured film of the present invention.

[0268] As shown in FIG. 2, the solid-state imaging device 200 includes a rectangular solid-state imaging element 201 and a transparent cover glass 203 that is held above the solid-state imaging element 201 and seals the solid-state imaging element 201. Furthermore, a lens layer 211 is provided on the cover glass 203 via a spacer 104. The lens layer 211 is composed of a support 213 and a lens material 212. When stray light enters the peripheral region of the lens layer 211, the light diffusion weakens the light-collecting effect of the lens material 212, thereby reducing the amount of light that reaches the imaging unit 202. Furthermore, noise due to the stray light also occurs. Therefore, the peripheral region of the lens layer 211 is provided with a cured film 214 of the present invention to shield it from light.

[0269] The solid-state imaging element 201 photoelectrically converts an optical image formed on an imaging section 202, which serves as its light-receiving surface, and outputs the converted image signal. The solid-state imaging element 201 includes a laminated substrate 205 formed by laminating two substrates. The laminated substrate 205 is made up of a rectangular chip substrate 206 and a circuit substrate 207 of the same size, with the circuit substrate 207 laminated on the back surface of the chip substrate 206.

[0270] An imaging unit 202 is provided in the center of the surface of the chip substrate 206. Furthermore, if stray light is incident on the peripheral region of the imaging unit 202, a dark current (noise) is generated from the circuit in this peripheral region, and therefore, this peripheral region is provided with a cured film (light-shielding) 215 of the present invention to shield it from light.

[0271] A plurality of electrode pads 208 are provided on the edge of the surface of the chip substrate 206. The electrode pads 208 are electrically connected to the imaging unit 202 via signal lines (not shown) provided on the surface of the chip substrate 206.

[0272] External connection terminals 209 are provided on the rear surface of the circuit board 207 at positions approximately below the electrode pads 208. Each external connection terminal 209 is connected to each electrode pad 208 via a through electrode 210 that vertically penetrates the laminated substrate 205. Each external connection terminal 209 is also connected via wiring (not shown) to a control circuit that controls the driving of the solid-state imaging element 201, an image processing circuit that performs image processing on an imaging signal output from the solid-state imaging element 201, and the like.

[0273] <Infrared sensor> The cured film of the present invention can be used in an infrared sensor. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of an infrared sensor including the cured film of the present invention. The infrared sensor 300 shown in Fig. 3 includes a solid-state imaging element 310.

[0274] The imaging area provided on the solid-state imaging device 310 is configured by combining an infrared cut filter 311 and a color filter 312 . The infrared cut filter 311 transmits light in the visible light range (for example, light with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm) and blocks light in the infrared range (for example, light with a wavelength of 800 to 1300 nm). The color filter 312 is a color filter formed with pixels that transmit and absorb light of specific wavelengths in the visible light range, and for example, a color filter formed with red (R), green (G), and blue (B) pixels is used.

[0275] Between the infrared transmission filter 313 and the solid-state imaging element 310, a resin film 314 that is capable of transmitting light of the wavelength that has passed through the infrared transmission filter 313 is disposed. The infrared transmission filter 313 is a filter that has visible light blocking properties and transmits infrared rays of a specific wavelength, and the cured film of the present invention containing the above-mentioned infrared absorbing compound (A) can be used for the infrared transmission filter 313. The infrared transmission filter 113 preferably blocks light with a wavelength of 400 to 830 nm and transmits light with a wavelength of 900 to 1300 nm, for example.

[0276] A microlens 315 is disposed on the incident light side of the color filter 312 and the infrared transmission filter 313. A planarization film 316 is formed so as to cover the microlens 315.

[0277] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the resin film 314 is disposed, but instead of the resin film 314, an infrared transmission filter 313 may be formed.

[0278] The cured film of the present invention can be used as a light-shielding film for the edge and / or side surfaces of the surface of the infrared cut filter 311, and when used on the inner wall of an infrared sensor, it can prevent internal reflection and / or the incidence of unwanted light into the light-receiving section, thereby improving sensitivity.

[0279] This infrared sensor can simultaneously capture image information, enabling motion sensing that recognizes the movement of an object. Furthermore, this infrared sensor can also acquire distance information, making it possible to capture images that include 3D information. Furthermore, this infrared sensor can also be used as a biometric authentication sensor.

[0280] The cured film of the present invention can also be used as a colored spacer. For example, when a spacer is used in a TFT-type LCD, light incident on the TFT may cause the TFT to malfunction as a switching element, and the colored spacer is used to prevent this. The colored spacer can be formed in the same manner as the black matrix described above, except that a mask for the colored spacer is used.

[0281] The cured film of the present invention can also be used in applications such as micro LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and micro OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes).

[Example]

[0283] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. Note that "parts" and "%" mean "parts by mass." In the present invention, the nonvolatile content or nonvolatile content concentration refers to the mass remaining after leaving the sample to stand in an oven at 180° C. for 30 minutes.

[0284] Before describing the examples, each measurement method will be explained.

[0285] The weight average molecular weight (Mw), number average molecular weight (Mn), acid value (mgKOH / g) and amine value (mgKOH / g) of the resin are measured as follows.

[0286] (Average molecular weight of alkali-soluble resin and dispersing resin) The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the alkali-soluble resin and dispersion 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 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 wt% of the above eluent, and 20 microliters was injected. The molecular weight is expressed in terms of polystyrene.

[0287] (Acid value of alkali-soluble resin and dispersion resin) 80 ml of acetone and 10 ml of water were added to 0.5 to 1 g of alkali-soluble resin and dispersed resin solution, and the mixture was stirred to dissolve uniformly. The solution was titrated using an automatic titrator ("COM-555" manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd.) with a 0.1 mol / L KOH aqueous solution as the titrant to measure the acid value (mg KOH / g). 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.

[0288] (Amine value of dispersion resin) The amine value of the dispersing resin is the total amine value (mgKOH / g) measured in accordance with the method of ASTM D 2074 and converted into nonvolatile content.
