Abstract
Description
Coloring composition, film, optical filter, solid-state imaging device and image display device
[0001] The present invention relates to a coloring composition containing a phthalocyanine blue pigment. The present invention also relates to a film, an optical filter, a solid-state imaging device, and an image display device using the coloring composition.
[0002] In recent years, the widespread use of digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones has led to a significant increase in demand for solid-state imaging devices such as charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensors. Color filters are used as key devices in displays and optical elements. Color filters typically have pixels of the three primary colors, red, green, and blue, and serve to separate transmitted light into the three primary colors.
[0003] Each color pixel of a color filter is produced using a coloring composition containing a colorant. For example, a coloring composition for forming a blue pixel contains a copper phthalocyanine blue pigment such as Color Index Pigment Blue 15:6 as the colorant.
[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a coloring composition containing a colorant containing Color Index Pigment Blue 15:6, a resin, a photopolymerization initiator, and a polymerizable compound.
[0005] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2022-171679
[0006] To improve the sensitivity of image sensors, further thinning of optical filters such as color filters used in image sensors is required. One method to achieve thinning while satisfying the desired spectral characteristics is to increase the concentration of colorants in the film, but the improvement of the colorant concentration in the film is reaching its limit.
[0007] In Patent Document 1, Color Index Pigment Blue 15:6 is used as the blue pigment, but with the composition disclosed in Patent Document 1, it was difficult to achieve a thin film thickness that meets the standards currently required while also satisfying the desired spectral characteristics.

[0013] <Coloring Composition> The coloring composition of the present invention is a coloring composition containing a colorant and a resin, wherein the colorant contains at least one blue pigment selected from a cobalt phthalocyanine blue pigment and a zinc phthalocyanine blue pigment.
[0014] Cobalt phthalocyanine blue pigment and zinc phthalocyanine blue pigment are blue pigments that have high absorption intensities in the wavelength range of 600 to 700 nm and have a high blue color value. Therefore, the coloring composition of the present invention containing such blue pigments can form a film with excellent spectral properties. In particular, it can form a film with high shielding properties in the wavelength range of 600 to 700 nm.
[0015] The coloring composition of the present invention can be preferably used for photolithography. When the coloring composition of the present invention is used for photolithography, it is preferable that the coloring composition of the present invention further contains a photopolymerization initiator and a polymerizable compound. By forming pixels using the coloring composition of the present invention by photolithography, pixels with excellent rectangularity can be formed. In particular, remarkable effects are exhibited when pixels are formed by exposure to light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less, such as the KfF line. The reason for such effects is presumed to be as follows. Cobalt phthalocyanine blue pigments and zinc phthalocyanine blue pigments have a lower absorption intensity of light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less, such as the KfF line, than copper phthalocyanine blue pigments, which have been used as conventional blue pigments. Therefore, it is presumed that exposure light can be sufficiently irradiated to the bottom of the film (substrate side) during exposure. Furthermore, it is presumed that cobalt phthalocyanine blue pigments and zinc phthalocyanine blue pigments are prone to exciton transfer or electron transfer from the excited form of these pigments to the photopolymerization initiator during exposure, which allows for efficient generation of active species such as radicals from the photopolymerization initiator. It is therefore presumed that the exposed portions can be sufficiently cured during exposure, resulting in the formation of pixels with excellent rectangularity.
[0016] The coloring composition of the present invention can be preferably used as a coloring composition for an optical filter. Examples of optical filters include color filters and infrared transmission filters. That is, the coloring composition of the present invention is preferably used as a coloring composition for a color filter or an infrared transmission filter, and is more preferably used as a coloring composition for a color filter. More specifically, it can be preferably used as a coloring composition for forming pixels of a color filter or a coloring composition for forming an infrared transmission filter, and is particularly preferably used as a coloring composition for forming blue pixels of a color filter.
[0017] When the coloring composition of the present invention is used to form a film having a thickness of 0.3 to 0.7 μm, the transmittance of the film in the thickness direction at a wavelength of 400 nm is preferably 45% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and even more preferably 55% or more. The transmittance of the film at a wavelength of 450 nm is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 75% or more, and even more preferably 80% or more. The minimum transmittance of the film in the wavelength range of 400 to 500 nm is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 35% or more, and even more preferably 40% or more. The maximum transmittance of the film in the wavelength range of 600 to 700 nm is preferably less than 5%, and even more preferably less than 3%. A film having such spectral characteristics can be preferably used as a blue pixel in a color filter.
[0018] The film used for measuring the transmittance is preferably a film obtained by applying a coloring composition to a glass substrate by a method such as spin coating, drying the composition at 100°C for 2 minutes using a hot plate or the like, heating the composition at 200°C for 5 minutes using a hot plate or the like, and allowing the composition to cool to room temperature. The transmittance can be measured using a conventionally known spectrophotometer.

These compounds may be used as solvents when producing each component used in the coloring composition, and may be mixed into the coloring composition as a residual solvent. From the viewpoint of human safety and environmental considerations, it is preferable to reduce these substances as much as possible. Examples of methods for reducing environmentally restricted substances include a method in which the system is heated or depressurized to a temperature above the boiling point of the environmentally restricted substance, thereby distilling off the environmentally restricted substance from the system.

Furthermore, when a radically polymerizable compound is contained, a polymerization inhibitor or the like may be added before distillation under reduced pressure to prevent intermolecular crosslinking due to the progress of a radical polymerization reaction during distillation under reduced pressure. These distillation methods can be used at any stage, such as the stage of raw materials, the stage of a product obtained by reacting the raw materials (for example, a resin solution or a polyfunctional monomer solution after polymerization), or the stage of a colored composition prepared by mixing these compounds.

Post-baking can be performed continuously or batchwise using a heating means such as a hot plate, convection oven (hot air circulation dryer), or high-frequency heater to achieve the above conditions for the developed film. When additional exposure treatment is performed, it is preferable that the light used for exposure has a wavelength of 400 nm or less.
