AI Technical Summary
Existing photosensitive resin compositions used for forming partition walls in color filters and organic electroluminescent devices do not achieve sufficient liquid repellency and inkjet wetting and spreading properties, especially when baked at lower temperatures, and there is a need for alternatives to fluorine-based liquid repellents due to environmental concerns.
A photosensitive resin composition containing a photopolymerizable compound, photopolymerization initiator, alkali-soluble resin, and silicon-containing copolymer resin, with specific repeating units and a photopolymerization initiator comprising an oxime ester compound, is used to form partition walls that exhibit high liquid repellency and good inkjet wetting and spreading properties, even at lower baking temperatures.
The composition provides partition walls with high liquid repellency and excellent inkjet wetting and spreading properties, enabling the formation of precise partition walls suitable for color filters and organic electroluminescent devices, even when baked at 180°C or less.
Abstract
Description
Photosensitive resin composition, cured product, partition wall, organic electroluminescent device, color filter, image display device, and method for forming the cured product
[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a cured product, a partition wall, an organic electroluminescent device, a color filter, an image display device, and a method for forming the cured product. This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2024-037179, filed on March 11, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] In recent years, color filters in which pixels are formed using luminescent nanocrystalline particles such as quantum dots have been investigated in order to reduce the power consumption and expand the color gamut of displays. Color filters can be manufactured using photolithography or inkjet printing, with the latter method known to reduce ink material waste (see, for example, Patent Document 1). When manufacturing a color filter containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles using inkjet printing, pixels are formed by ejecting ink containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles into areas (pixel portions) surrounded by pre-prepared partition walls. Organic electroluminescent elements used in organic electroluminescent displays and the like are manufactured by forming partition walls (banks) on a substrate and then stacking various functional layers within the areas surrounded by the partition walls. The inkjet printing is a known method for stacking functional layers within the partition walls. Both the partition walls for color filters containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles and the partition walls for organic electroluminescent elements must prevent inks from mixing with each other between adjacent pixel portions when inks are ejected by inkjet printing, and therefore require high liquid repellency (liquid repellency). Patent Document 2 describes a colored photosensitive resin composition that exhibits high liquid repellency and excellent linearity when two specific alkali-soluble resins are used in combination to form liquid-repellent partition walls by photolithography. Typically, when forming such partition walls by photolithography, the final pattern is formed through a post-development thermal baking step at 200°C or higher for 15 minutes or more. The examples in Patent Document 2 also describe heat curing in an oven at 230°C for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, efforts to lower the temperature and shorten the thermal baking step have been pursued to reduce production costs and accommodate substrates with limited heat resistance, such as plastic substrates. Photosensitive resin compositions that exhibit comparable performance even when baked at a lower temperature or for a shorter time than conventional methods are needed. To meet these performance requirements, methods using blocked isocyanates (e.g., Patent Document 3) and methods combining an epoxy-containing material with a thermally activated delayed-release fluorescent compound (e.g., Patent Document 4) are known. These documents describe in the examples that the required performance was obtained even when the thermal baking step was carried out at 150° C., but do not specifically mention liquid repellency.Furthermore, in order to prevent ink bleeding and color mixing, a method has been proposed in which a vinyl polymer having a crosslinkable functional group and a polyorganosiloxane chain is used as a liquid repellent (for example, Patent Document 5), and it is described that this method can achieve both ink repellency for the partition walls and prevention of coating defects.
[0003] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-86745 International Publication No. 2019 / 146685 Japanese Patent No. 5708313 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-30290 Japanese Patent No. 4221964
[0004] In recent years, fluorine-based liquid repellents, which tend to exhibit high liquid repellency, have traditionally been used to apply liquid repellents to partition walls. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend toward regulating organic fluorine compounds (PFAS) due to concerns about their persistence and ecotoxicity, and there has been a demand for the establishment of partition wall materials that use silicone resin-based liquid repellents. The inventors' investigations have revealed that when the polymer having a polyorganosiloxane chain described in Patent Document 5 is used, sufficient wetting and spreading cannot be ensured, which makes it easy for coating defects to occur.
[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition that uses a specific silicon-containing resin and that can achieve both sufficient liquid repellency and inkjet wetting and spreading properties for the partition walls regardless of the type of ink. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cured product that has high liquid repellency and excellent inkjet wetting and spreading properties, partition walls composed of the cured product, an organic electroluminescent device that includes the partition walls, a color filter that includes the partition walls, and an image display device that includes the partition walls.

If necessary, the photosensitive resin composition may further contain other components, such as a solvent, (E) a colorant, and (F) a dispersant.

[0020] [1-1-1] (A) Photopolymerizable Compound The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains (A) a photopolymerizable compound. It is believed that the inclusion of (A) a photopolymerizable compound increases the curability of the coating film and improves its liquid repellency. The photopolymerizable compound refers to a compound having one or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds in the molecule. For example, a compound having two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds in the molecule is preferred in terms of increasing the polymerizability, crosslinkability, and the associated difference in developer solubility between exposed and unexposed areas. The ethylenically unsaturated bond is preferably derived from a (meth)acryloyloxy group, and the photopolymerizable compound is more preferably a (meth)acrylate compound.

By setting the number at or above the lower limit, polymerizability tends to be improved and liquid repellency tends to be enhanced.

[0165] When the alkali-soluble resin (C3) contains the structural unit (C3-2-1), the structural unit (C3-3-1), and the structural unit (C3-3-4), the content of the structural unit (C3-2-1) relative to the total content of the structural unit (C3-2-1), the structural unit (C3-3-1), and the structural unit (C3-3-4) in the alkali-soluble resin (C3) is preferably 10 mol% or more, more preferably 20 mol% or more, even more preferably 30 mol% or more, and is preferably 90 mol% or less, more preferably 70 mol% or less, and even more preferably 50 mol% or less.

By setting the content at or above the lower limit, developability tends to be improved, while by setting the content at or below the upper limit, penetration resistance tends to be improved.
[0166] The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin (C3) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 mgKOH / g or more, more preferably 30 mgKOH / g or more, and even more preferably 50 mgKOH / g or more. It is also preferably 200 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 150 mgKOH / g or less, even more preferably 100 mgKOH / g or less, and particularly preferably 80 mgKOH / g or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined.

By setting the acid value at or above the lower limit, developability tends to be improved, while by setting it at or below the upper limit, development adhesion tends to be improved.

The double bond equivalent of the alkali-soluble resin (C3) can be calculated in the same manner as for the double bond equivalent of the acrylic copolymer resin (C1).

[0173] [1-1-4] (D) Silicon-containing copolymer resin
[0174] The silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) of the present invention contains at least repeating units (D1) and (D2). Repeating unit (D1): A repeating unit containing the following general formula (d1). Repeating unit (D2): A repeating unit containing an ethylenically unsaturated group in the side chain.
[0175]
[0176] However, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. * represents a bond.
[0177] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention exhibits enhanced liquid repellency due to the inclusion of silicon-containing copolymer resin (D). While the inclusion of silicon facilitates aggregation at or near the surface of the coating film, the inclusion of repeating unit (D2) is believed to facilitate bonding of silicon-containing copolymer resin (D1) to the surface or its vicinity upon exposure, thereby improving liquid repellency. Meanwhile, the branched siloxane chain structure of repeating unit (D1) increases the glass transition temperature (Tg). Therefore, unreacted silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) upon exposure is less likely to bleed into pixel areas upon baking, improving inkjet wetting and spreading. When using solventless inks with high surface tension and viscosity, sufficient wetting and spreading cannot be achieved, leading to problems with coating defects. Furthermore, the inclusion of repeating units (D1) and (D2) allows the above-described effects to be achieved regardless of the materials and physical properties used in the inkjet ink. In particular, it is useful because it provides sufficient ink-jet wetting and spreading properties even for solvent-free inks and inks with high surface tension.
[0178] The repeating unit (D1) and the repeating unit (D2) may each have a repeating unit, or may contain a (D1) structure and a (D2) structure in one repeating unit. However, from the viewpoint of liquid repellency and inkjet wetting and spreading properties, it is preferable that the repeating unit (D1) and the repeating unit (D2) each have a repeating unit.
[0179] <Repeating Unit (D1)> The repeating unit (D1) is not particularly limited as long as it has the structure of formula (d1). 1 ~R 3 In the formula (D1), examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, and an isopropyl group. From the viewpoints of liquid repellency and inkjet wetting and spreading properties, a methyl group and an ethyl group are preferred, and a methyl group is more preferred. From the viewpoint of ease of synthesis, the repeating unit (D1) more preferably contains a repeating unit of the following formula (d1-1):
[0180] R 1 , R2 , R 3 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. 4 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. 1 represents a divalent organic group. * represents a bond. R 1 , R 2 , R 3 is R in formula (d1). 1 , R 2 , R 3 is synonymous with.

[0183] L 1 The alkylene group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms is preferably an alkylene group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, more preferably an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and even more preferably a methylene group, an ethylene group, an n-propylene group, or an isopropylene group.

[0185] L 1 When the divalent organic group is an alkylene group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms or an alkyleneoxy group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms, these divalent organic groups are -CH 2 A part of the - may be replaced by a carbonyl group (-C(=O)-), a phenylene group, an amide bond or a urethane bond, and further, a hydroxyl group or the like may be substituted on the carbon atom. 1 is more preferably an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0186] Specific examples of the repeating unit (D1) are as follows:
[0187]
[0188] From the viewpoint of liquid repellency and ink jet wetting and spreading properties, (d1-1-2) is preferred. The repeating unit (D1) may contain one or more types.
[0189] <Repeating Unit (D2)> The structure of the repeating unit (D2) is not particularly limited as long as it contains an ethylenically unsaturated group in the side chain. As the ethylenically unsaturated group, for example, a vinyl group, an allyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, or a (meth)acryloyloxy group is preferred, and a (meth)acryloyl group or a (meth)acryloyloxy group is preferred. The repeating unit (D2) preferably contains a repeating unit of the following formula (d2):

The alkylene group may be linear or branched. Specific examples include a methylene group, an ethylene group, a propylene group, an isopropylene group, a butylene group, an isobutylene group, a pentylene group, and an isopentylene group, with an ethylene group and a propylene group being preferred. db2 , R dc2 The arylene group of R is preferably a phenylene group or a naphthylene group, and more preferably a phenylene group. db2 , R dc2 Examples of the substituents that the alkylene group and arylene group have include a hydroxyl group and a halogen atom. db2 , R dc2 From the viewpoint of liquid repellency and ink jet wetting and spreading properties, L is more preferably an unsubstituted ethylene group or an unsubstituted propylene group. 2 The divalent organic group in is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a urethane group, an ester group, and a bond between a hydroxyl group and an epoxy group. Specific examples thereof include the following structures.
[0193]
[0194] L 2 As the hydroxyl group, (d2-3) and (d2-4) are preferable, and (d2-4) is more preferable.
[0195] Specific examples of the repeating unit (D2) are as follows.
[0196]
[0197] From the viewpoint of inkjet wetting and spreading properties, (d2-23) and (d2-24) are preferred, and (d2-23) is more preferred. The repeating unit (D2) may contain one or more types.
[0198] The molar number of repeating units (D1) in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 mol% or more, more preferably 10 mol% or more, even more preferably 15 mol% or more, and even more preferably 20 mol% or more, relative to 100 mol% of all repeating units in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D). Also, 70 mol% or less is preferred, more preferably 50 mol% or less, even more preferably 40 mol% or less, and even more preferably 30 mol% or less. Setting the molar number at or above the lower limit of the aforementioned value tends to enhance liquid repellency. Setting the molar number at or below the upper limit of the aforementioned value tends to improve inkjet wetting and spreading properties. The above upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, it may be 5 to 70 mol%, 10 to 50 mol%, 15 to 40 mol%, or 20 to 30 mol%.
[0199] The molar number of repeating units (D2) in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 mol% or more, more preferably 50 mol% or more, even more preferably 60 mol% or more, and even more preferably 70 mol% or more, relative to 100 mol% of all repeating units in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D). Also, 95 mol% or less is preferred, more preferably 90 mol% or less, even more preferably 85 mol% or less, and even more preferably 80 mol% or less is preferred. By setting the molar number at or above the lower limit, inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be improved. Furthermore, by setting the molar number at or below the upper limit, liquid repellency tends to be improved. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, it may be 30 to 95 mol%, 50 to 90 mol%, 60 to 85 mol%, or 70 to 80 mol%.
[0200] The ratio of the total molar amount of the repeating unit (D1) and the repeating unit (D2) to the total molar amount of all repeating units in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited, but the total molar amount of the repeating unit (D1) and the repeating units is preferably 50 mol% or more, more preferably 70 mol% or more, even more preferably 90 mol% or more, and particularly preferably 98 mol% or more, relative to the total molar amount of all repeating units (100%). By keeping the ratio below the upper limit of the aforementioned value, inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be compatible with liquid repellency.
[0201] The molar ratio of repeating units (D1) and repeating units (D2) in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited. For example, based on 100 mol% of the total number of moles of repeating units (D1) and repeating units (D2), the proportion of repeating units (D1) is preferably 5 mol% or more, more preferably 10 mol% or more, and even more preferably 15 mol% or more. The proportion is preferably 95 mol% or less, more preferably 70 mol% or less, even more preferably 50 mol% or less, even more preferably 40 mol% or less, particularly preferably 30 mol% or less, and most preferably 24 mol% or less.

Setting the proportion at or above the lower limit tends to enhance liquid repellency. Setting the proportion at or below the upper limit tends to improve inkjet wetting and spreading properties.

Also, it is preferably 80% by weight or less, more preferably 50% by weight or less, even more preferably 30% by weight or less, even more preferably 28% by weight or less, and particularly preferably 25% by weight. By making it equal to or greater than the lower limit of the aforementioned value, the liquid repellency tends to be enhanced. Also, by making it equal to or less than the upper limit of the aforementioned value, the inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be improved.
[0203] The content of silicon atoms in the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1% by weight or more, more preferably 4% by weight or more, even more preferably 5% by weight or more, even more preferably 6% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 7% by weight or more, relative to the mass of the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D). Also, it is preferably 50% by weight or less, more preferably 20% by weight or less, even more preferably 12% by weight or less, and even more preferably 10% by weight or less. By setting it to the lower limit or more, liquid repellency tends to be enhanced. Furthermore, by setting it to the upper limit or less, inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be improved.
[0204] The silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) may contain repeating units other than the repeating units (D1) and (D2). Examples of such repeating units include repeating units having a carboxy group and repeating units having an ester bond other than the repeating units (D1) and (D2). Furthermore, the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) preferably does not contain fluorine atoms. The absence of fluorine atoms reduces environmental accumulation and reduces the environmental impact.

It is also preferably 20,000 or less, more preferably 10,000 or less, and even more preferably 5,000 or less. By setting it at or above the lower limit, inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be good. By setting it at or below the upper limit, gelation and the like are less likely to occur, synthesis is easier, and inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be good.

By setting the content at or above the lower limit, liquid repellency tends to be improved. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, inkjet wetting and spreading properties tend to be good.
[0207] The synthesis method for the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) is not particularly limited, and known synthesis methods can be used. For example, a silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) can be synthesized by a polymerization method comprising a polymerizable monomer (DA) having a structure of formula (d1) and a functional group (Db) (R db3 The compound (DC) can be synthesized by reacting a polymer (DP) obtained by copolymerizing at least a polymerizable monomer (DB) having the functional group (Db) with a compound (DC) having an ethylenically unsaturated group and a functional group (Dc) reactive with the functional group (Db). Here, the ethylenically unsaturated group possessed by the repeating unit (D2) in the silicon-containing copolymer (D) is derived from the ethylenically unsaturated group possessed by the compound (DC). "Polymerizable monomer" refers to a compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group, and examples of the polymerizable unsaturated group possessed by the polymerizable monomer (DA) and the polymerizable monomer (DB) include C=C-containing groups such as (meth)acryloyl, (meth)acryloyloxy, (meth)acryloylamino, vinyl ether, allyl, styryl, and maleimide groups. Among these, (meth)acryloyl and (meth)acryloyloxy groups are preferred due to their ease of raw material availability and favorable polymerization reactivity. The number of polymerizable unsaturated groups contained in the polymerizable monomer may be one or two or more.

When a geometric isomer of compound (A1) is anionic, it is preferably a similar salt.
[0257] The following substituents in formula (A1) and their definitions tend to have a high shielding rate, and are therefore preferred because they are thought to have no absorption and do not affect the hue of the pigment. a12 , R a14 , R a15 , R a17 , R a19 and R a20 are each independently preferably a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, or a chlorine atom, and more preferably a hydrogen atom. a13 and R a18 are each independently preferably a hydrogen atom, NO2, OCH3, OC2H5, a bromine atom, a chlorine atom, CH3, C2H5, N(CH3)2, N(CH3)(C2H5), N(C2H5)2, α-naphthyl, β-naphthyl, SO3H, or SO3 - is more preferably a hydrogen atom or SO3H, and particularly preferably a hydrogen atom.

[0266]
[0267] An example of the organic black pigment represented by compound (A2) is the trade name Irgaphor (registered trademark) Black S 0100 CF (manufactured by BASF). This organic black pigment is preferably dispersed using a dispersant, solvent, and method described below. Furthermore, the presence of a sulfonic acid derivative of compound (A1), particularly a sulfonic acid derivative of compound (A2), during dispersion can improve dispersibility and storage stability, so it is preferable that the organic black pigment contain these sulfonic acid derivatives.
[0268] As a colorant other than these organic pigments, an inorganic black pigment may be used. In addition to the organic pigment, an inorganic black pigment may also be used.
[0269] Examples of inorganic black pigments include carbon black, acetylene black, lamp black, bone black, graphite, iron black, cyanine black, titanium black, etc. Among these, carbon black is preferably used from the viewpoint of light-shielding properties.
[0270] Examples of carbon black include the following carbon blacks manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation: MA7, MA8, MA11, MA77, MA100, MA100R, MA100S, MA220, MA230, MA600, MCF88, #5, #10, #20, #25, #30, #32, #33, #40, #44, #45, #47, #50, #52, #55, #650, #750, #850, #900, #950, and #9 60, #970, #980, #990, #1000, #2200, #2300, #2350, #2400, #2600, #2650, #3030, #3050, #315 0, #3250, #3400, #3600, #3750, #3950, #4000, #4010, OIL7B, OIL9B, OIL11B, OIL30B, OIL31B.

[0271] Carbon black may be coated with a resin. The use of resin-coated carbon black has the effect of improving adhesion to the glass substrate and volume resistivity. For example, the carbon black described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 09-71733 can be suitably used as the resin-coated carbon black. Resin-coated carbon black is suitable from the viewpoint of volume resistivity and dielectric constant.
[0272] These organic and inorganic pigments are preferably dispersed and used so that the average particle size is preferably 1 μm or less, more preferably 0.5 μm or less, and even more preferably 0.25 μm or less. Here, the average particle size is based on the number of pigment particles. The average particle size of the pigment is a value determined from the pigment particle size measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Particle size measurement is performed on a sufficiently diluted photosensitive resin composition (usually diluted to a pigment concentration of approximately 0.005 to 0.2 mass %; however, if a concentration recommended by the measuring instrument is available, that concentration should be followed), and the measurement is performed at 25°C.
[0273] In addition to organic pigments and inorganic black pigments, dyes may also be used. Examples of dyes that can be used as colorants include azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes, phthalocyanine dyes, quinoneimine dyes, quinoline dyes, nitro dyes, carbonyl dyes, and methine dyes.
[0274] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a colorant (E), the content of the colorant (E) is not particularly limited. However, it is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 2% by mass or more, even more preferably 3% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 4% by mass or more, based on the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. It is also preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 30% by mass or less, even more preferably 20% by mass or less, even more preferably 15% by mass or less, particularly preferably 12% by mass or less, and most preferably 10% by mass or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, it is preferably 1 to 50% by mass, more preferably 1 to 30% by mass, even more preferably 2 to 20% by mass, even more preferably 2 to 15% by mass, particularly preferably 3 to 12% by mass, and particularly preferably 4 to 10% by mass. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, light-blocking properties tend to be ensured. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the alkali-soluble resin and photopolymerizable compound can be relatively increased, which tends to improve the curability and liquid repellency of the coating film.
[0275] When light scattering is the objective, a white pigment (E2) may be used in part or in whole of the colorant (E). Examples of the white pigment (E2) include metal oxides such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, hafnium oxide, and barium titanate, and inorganic fillers such as calcium silicate, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate. One type of white pigment (E2) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
[0276] From the viewpoint of refractive index and light scattering property, it is preferable to use a metal oxide, more preferably titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or hafnium oxide, and even more preferably titanium oxide.
[0277] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a white pigment (E2), the content is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 2% by mass or more, even more preferably 3% by mass or more, particularly preferably 4% by mass or more, and is preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 30% by mass or less, even more preferably 20% by mass or less, even more preferably 15% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 10% by mass or less, based on the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 1 to 50% by mass is preferred, 1 to 30% by mass is more preferred, 2 to 20% by mass is even more preferred, 3 to 15% by mass is even more preferred, and 4 to 10% by mass is particularly preferred. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, a high refractive index and improved light scattering properties tend to be achieved. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the transmittance in the ultraviolet range can be increased, and the curability and liquid repellency of the coating film tend to be improved.
[0278] [1-1-7] (F) Dispersant The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a (F) dispersant in order to finely disperse the (E) colorant and stabilize the dispersed state. As the (F) dispersant, a polymer dispersant having a functional group is preferred, and from the viewpoint of dispersion stability, a polymer dispersant having a functional group such as a carboxy group; a phosphate group; a sulfonic acid group; or a base thereof; a primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group; a quaternary ammonium base; or a group derived from a nitrogen-containing heterocycle such as pyridine, pyrimidine, or pyrazine is more preferred. In particular, a polymer dispersant having a tertiary amino group or a quaternary ammonium base is particularly preferred from the viewpoint that the (E) colorant can be dispersed with a small amount of dispersant.
[0279] Examples of polymeric dispersants include urethane-based dispersants, acrylic-based dispersants, polyethyleneimine-based dispersants, polyallylamine-based dispersants, dispersants consisting of a monomer and a macromonomer having an amino group, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether-based dispersants, polyoxyethylene diester-based dispersants, polyether phosphate-based dispersants, polyester phosphate-based dispersants, sorbitan aliphatic ester-based dispersants, and aliphatic-modified polyester-based dispersants.
[0280] Examples of polymer dispersants include trade names such as EFKA (registered trademark, manufactured by BASF), DISPERBYK (registered trademark, manufactured by BYK-Chemie), DISPARLON (registered trademark, manufactured by Kusumoto Chemicals), SOLSPERSE (registered trademark, manufactured by Lubrizol), KP (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), Polyflow (manufactured by Kyoeisha Chemical Co., Ltd.), and AJISPER (registered trademark, manufactured by Ajinomoto Co., Inc.) One type of polymer dispersant may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
[0281] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer dispersant is preferably 700 or more, more preferably 1,000 or more. It is also preferably 100,000 or less, more preferably 50,000 or less. The above upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily. For example, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polymer dispersant is preferably 700 to 100,000, more preferably 1,000 to 50,000. From the viewpoint of dispersion stability of the (E) colorant, it is preferable that the (E) colorant contains an acrylic polymer dispersant having a functional group. From the viewpoints of dispersibility and storage stability, a polymer dispersant having a basic functional group and either or both of a polyester bond and a polyether bond is preferable.
[0282] As the acrylic polymer dispersant, it is preferable to use a random copolymer, graft copolymer, or block copolymer of an unsaturated group-containing monomer having a functional group (the functional group here refers to the functional group contained in the polymer dispersant described above) and an unsaturated group-containing monomer not having a functional group. These copolymers can be produced by known methods.
[0283] The acrylic polymer dispersant is particularly preferably an A-B or B-A-B block copolymer consisting of an A block having a functional group and a B block having no functional group. In this case, the A block may contain, in addition to the partial structure derived from the unsaturated group-containing monomer having the functional group, a partial structure derived from the unsaturated group-containing monomer not having the functional group, and these may be contained in the A block in the form of either random copolymerization or block copolymerization. The content of the partial structure not having a functional group in the A block is preferably 80% by mass or less, more preferably 50% by mass or less, and even more preferably 30% by mass or less.
[0284] The B block is composed of a partial structure derived from an unsaturated group-containing monomer that does not contain the above functional group, but one B block may contain partial structures derived from two or more types of monomers, and these may be contained in the B block in the form of either random copolymerization or block copolymerization. The A-B or B-A-B block copolymer is prepared, for example, by the living polymerization method shown below. Living polymerization methods include anionic living polymerization, cationic living polymerization, and radical living polymerization.
[0285] The amount of quaternary ammonium salt group per 1 g of the AB block copolymer or B-A-B block copolymer that can be used in the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 10 mmol. By keeping it within this range, good dispersibility tends to be ensured.
[0286] When the block copolymer contains amino groups generated during the production process, the amine value is preferably 1 to 100 mgKOH / g. From the viewpoint of dispersibility, the amine value is preferably 10 mgKOH / g or more, more preferably 30 mgKOH / g or more, even more preferably 50 mgKOH / g or more, and is preferably 90 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 80 mgKOH / g or less, and even more preferably 75 mgKOH / g or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 1 to 100 mgKOH / g is preferred, 10 to 90 mgKOH / g is more preferred, 30 to 80 mgKOH / g is even more preferred, and 50 to 75 mgKOH / g is particularly preferred.
[0287] The amine value is expressed as the mass of KOH equivalent to the amount of base per 1 g of solids in the dispersant sample, excluding the solvent, and is measured using the following method. 0.5 to 1.5 g of the dispersant sample is accurately weighed into a 100 mL beaker and dissolved in 50 mL of acetic acid. Using an automatic titrator equipped with a pH electrode, this solution is neutralized with a 0.1 mol / L HClO4 acetic acid solution. The inflection point on the titration pH curve is used as the titration endpoint, and the amine value is calculated using the following formula:
[0288] Amine value [mgKOH / g] = (561 × V) / (W × S) (where W represents the weighed amount of the dispersant sample [g], V represents the titration amount at the titration end point [mL], and S represents the solids concentration of the dispersant sample [% by mass]).
[0289] The acid value of the block copolymer is preferably low, preferably 10 mgKOH / g or less, although this depends on the presence or absence and type of acidic group that is the source of the acid value. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the block copolymer is preferably in the range of 1,000 to 100,000. By keeping the weight average molecular weight within this range, good dispersibility tends to be ensured.
[0290] Suitable acrylic polymer dispersants include, for example, EFKA-4300 and EFKA-4320 (manufactured by BASF), DISPERBYK-2000, DISPERBYK-2001, DISPERBYK-LPN21116, and DISPERBYK-LPN6919 (manufactured by BYK-Chemie).
[0291] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a dispersant (F), its content is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 1% by mass or more, even more preferably 5% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 10% by mass or more, based on the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. It is also preferably 60% by mass or less, more preferably 40% by mass or less, even more preferably 30% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 20% by mass or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, it is preferably 0.1 to 60% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 40% by mass, even more preferably 0.5 to 30% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 20% by mass. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, aggregation tends to be suppressed, and a coating film in which the colorant (F) is uniformly dispersed tends to be formed. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the amount of other components can be relatively increased, which tends to improve patterning properties.
[0292] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a dispersant (F), the content of the dispersant (F) is preferably 1 part by mass or more, more preferably 5 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, particularly preferably 30 parts by mass or more, and especially preferably 50 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the colorant (E). It is also preferably 150 parts by mass or less, more preferably 120 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 100 parts by mass or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, it is preferably 1 to 150 parts by mass, more preferably 5 to 120 parts by mass, even more preferably 10 to 100 parts by mass, particularly preferably 20 to 100 parts by mass, and especially preferably 50 to 100 parts by mass. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, the generation of residue due to aggregates tends to be suppressed. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the amount of other components can be relatively increased, which tends to improve patterning properties.
[0293] [1-1-7] Polyfunctional Thiol Compound The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a polyfunctional thiol compound. A polyfunctional thiol compound is a compound containing two or more mercapto groups in one molecule. The inclusion of a polyfunctional thiol compound tends to improve liquid repellency.
[0294] The number of mercapto groups in one molecule is usually 2 or more, preferably 3 or more, and more preferably 4 or more. Also, 6 or less is preferable. For example, 2 to 6 is preferable, 3 to 6 is more preferable, and 4 to 6 is even more preferable. By making the number equal to or greater than the lower limit, liquid repellency tends to be improved. By making the number equal to or less than the upper limit, storage stability tends to be improved, and highly precise partition walls with narrow line widths tend to be formed. The polyfunctional thiol compound is preferably an aliphatic polyfunctional thiol compound. Specific examples include hexanedithiol, decanedithiol, butanediol bis(3-mercaptopropionate), butanediol bisthioglycolate, ethylene glycol bis(3-mercaptopropionate), ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate, trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate), trimethylolpropane tristhioglycolate, trishydroxyethyl tristhiopropionate, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate), ... pentaerythritol tris(3-mercaptopropionate), butanediol bis(3-mercaptobutyrate), ethylene glycol bis(3-mercaptobutyrate), trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tris(3-mercaptobutyrate), and 1,3,5-tris(3-mercaptobutyloxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione. From the viewpoint of liquid repellency, trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate), pentaerythritol tris(3-mercaptopropionate), trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tris(3-mercaptobutyrate), and 1,3,5-tris(3-mercaptobutyloxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione are more preferred, and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptobutyrate) is even more preferred.The polyfunctional thiol compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0295] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a polyfunctional thiol compound, its content is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01% by mass or more, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, still more preferably 0.8% by mass or more, and is preferably 5% by mass or less, more preferably 4% by mass or less, even more preferably 3% by mass or less, and even more preferably 2% by mass or less, relative to the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 0.01 to 5% by mass is preferred, 0.1 to 4% by mass is more preferred, 0.5 to 3% by mass is even more preferred, and 0.8 to 2% by mass is particularly preferred. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, liquid repellency tends to be improved. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, highly precise partition walls with narrow line widths tend to be formed.
[0296] The content ratio of the polyfunctional thiol compound relative to the photopolymerization initiator (B) in the photosensitive resin composition is preferably 5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, even more preferably 15 parts by mass or more, and particularly preferably 20 parts by mass or more, per 100 parts by mass of the photopolymerization initiator (B). It is also preferably 500 parts by mass or less, more preferably 300 parts by mass or less, even more preferably 100 parts by mass or less, and particularly preferably 50 parts by mass or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 5 to 500 parts by mass is preferred, more preferably 10 to 300 parts by mass, even more preferably 15 to 100 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 20 to 50 parts by mass. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, liquid repellency tends to be improved. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, highly precise partition walls with narrow line widths tend to be formed.
[0297] [1-1-9] Surfactant The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a surfactant. However, the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) of the present invention is not included in the surfactants of the present invention. Surfactants can be used, for example, to improve the coatability of the photosensitive resin composition as a coating liquid and the developability of the coating film, and examples of such surfactants include fluorine-based surfactants and silicone-based surfactants. In particular, silicone-based surfactants are preferred because they have the effect of removing residues of the photosensitive resin composition from unexposed areas during development and also have the function of exhibiting wettability, and polyether-modified silicone-based surfactants are more preferred.
[0298] As the fluorine-based surfactant, a compound having a fluoroalkyl or fluoroalkylene group at least at one of the terminal, main chain, and side chain is suitable. Commercially available fluorine-based surfactants include, for example, BM Examples of such a cleaning agent include "BM-1000" and "BM-1100" manufactured by Chemie Co., Ltd.; "Megafac F142D," "Megafac F172," "Megafac F173," "Megafac F183," "Megafac F470," "Megafac F475," "Megafac F554," and "Megafac F559" manufactured by DIC Corporation; "DFX-18" manufactured by Neos Corporation; "Fluorad FC430," "Fluorad FC431," "FC-4430," and "FC4432" manufactured by 3M Japan Ltd.; and "Asahiguard (registered trademark) AG710," "Surflon (registered trademark, the same applies hereinafter) S-382," "Surflon SC-101," "Surflon SC-102," "Surflon SC-103," "Surflon SC-104," "Surflon SC-105," and "Surflon SC-106" manufactured by AGC.
[0299] Examples of commercially available silicone surfactants include "DC3PA," "SH7PA," "DC11PA," "SH21PA," "SH28PA," "SH29PA," "8032 Additive," and "SH8400" manufactured by Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd., and "BYK (registered trademark, the same applies hereinafter) 323" and "BYK330" manufactured by BYK-Chemie.
[0300] The surfactants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0301] [1-1-10] UV absorber The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a UV absorber. The UV absorber is added for the purpose of controlling the photocuring distribution by absorbing specific wavelengths of the light source used for exposure. The addition of a UV absorber can, for example, provide effects such as forming high-definition partition walls with narrow line widths and eliminating residues remaining in unexposed areas after development. As the UV absorber, from the viewpoint of inhibiting light absorption by the (B) photopolymerization initiator, for example, a compound having an absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 250 nm to 400 nm can be used.
[0302] The ultraviolet absorber preferably contains either or both of a benzotriazole-based compound and a triazine-based compound. It is believed that the inclusion of either or both of a benzotriazole-based compound and a triazine-based compound reduces the light absorption rate of the initiator at the bottom of the film, thereby reducing the line width at the bottom of the coating film and enabling the formation of high-definition partition walls with narrow line widths.

By setting the content at or above the lower limit, highly precise partition walls with narrow line widths tend to be formed. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, liquid repellency tends to be enhanced.

By using an amount equal to or greater than the lower limit, highly precise partition walls with narrow line widths tend to be formed. By using an amount equal to or less than the upper limit, liquid repellency tends to be enhanced.
[0312] [1-1-11] Polymerization Inhibitor The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a polymerization inhibitor. The inclusion of a polymerization inhibitor inhibits radical polymerization, which tends to increase the taper angle of the resulting partition walls. Examples of polymerization inhibitors include hydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, methylhydroquinone, methoxyphenol, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-cresol (BHT). From the viewpoint of polymerization inhibition ability, hydroquinone, methoxyphenol, and methylhydroquinone are preferred, and methylhydroquinone is more preferred. One type of polymerization inhibitor may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.
[0313] Depending on the method for producing the alkali-soluble resin (C), the produced alkali-soluble resin may contain a polymerization inhibitor. In this case, the alkali-soluble resin may be used as it is, or a polymerization inhibitor identical to or different from the polymerization inhibitor contained in the resin may be further added during production of the photosensitive resin composition.
[0314] When the photosensitive resin composition contains a polymerization inhibitor, its content is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.0005% by mass or more, more preferably 0.001% by mass or more, even more preferably 0.01% by mass or more, and is preferably 0.1% by mass or less, more preferably 0.08% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.05% by mass or less, relative to the total solid content of the photosensitive resin composition. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 0.0005 to 0.1% by mass is preferred, 0.001 to 0.08% by mass is more preferred, and 0.01 to 0.05% by mass is even more preferred. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, the taper angle tends to be higher. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the liquid repellency tends to be higher.
[0315] [1-1-12] Silane Coupling Agent The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a silane coupling agent to improve adhesion to the substrate. Examples of silane coupling agents that can be used include epoxy-based, methacrylic-based, amino-based, and imidazole-based silane coupling agents. From the viewpoint of improving adhesion, epoxy-based and imidazole-based silane coupling agents are preferred. When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a silane coupling agent, the content is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and even more preferably 1.0% by mass or more. Furthermore, the content is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less, and even more preferably 3% by mass or less. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, the effect of improving adhesion to the substrate tends to be sufficient. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition tends to be good.
[0316] [1-1-13] Phosphate-Based Ethylenic Monomer The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain a phosphate-based ethylenic monomer for the purpose of imparting adhesion to a substrate. As the phosphate-based ethylenic monomer, a (meth)acryloyloxy group-containing phosphate is preferred, and a (meth)acryloyloxy group-containing phosphate represented by the following general formula (g1), (g2), or (g3) is preferred.
[0317]
[0318] In formulas (g1), (g2), and (g3), R 51 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; l and l' are integers of 1 to 10; and m is 1, 2, or 3.
[0319] The phosphate-based ethylenic monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0320] When the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a phosphoric acid-based ethylenic monomer, the content thereof is preferably 0.02 mass% or more, more preferably 0.05 mass% or more, even more preferably 0.1 mass% or more, and particularly preferably 0.2 mass% or more, based on the total solids content of the photosensitive resin composition. It is also preferably 4 mass% or less, more preferably 3 mass% or less, even more preferably 2 mass% or less, and particularly preferably 1 mass% or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, it is preferably 0.02 to 4 mass%, more preferably 0.05 to 3 mass%, even more preferably 0.1 to 2 mass%, and particularly preferably 0.2 to 1 mass%. By setting the content at or above the lower limit, the effect of improving adhesion to the substrate tends to be sufficient. By setting the content at or below the upper limit, the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition tends to be good.
[0321] [1-2] Method for Preparing Photosensitive Resin Composition The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is prepared by mixing the components contained in the photosensitive resin composition with a stirrer. For example, when a solvent-insoluble component such as a pigment is contained as the colorant (E), it is preferable to perform a dispersion treatment in advance using a paint conditioner, sand grinder, ball mill, roll mill, stone mill, jet mill, homogenizer, or the like. The dispersion treatment results in the fine particle formation of the colorant (E), thereby improving the coating properties of the photosensitive resin composition.
[0322] The dispersion treatment is usually preferably carried out in a system using a combination of an (E) colorant, a solvent, and an (F) dispersant, or in a system using these in combination, optionally with a part or all of an (C) alkali-soluble resin (hereinafter, the mixture subjected to the dispersion treatment and the composition obtained by the dispersion treatment may be referred to as an "ink" or a "pigment dispersion"). In particular, using a polymeric dispersant as the (F) dispersant is preferred because it provides excellent dispersion stability for the resulting ink and photosensitive resin composition and suppresses thickening over time. Thus, in the process of producing the photosensitive resin composition, it is preferred to produce a pigment dispersion containing at least an (E) colorant, a solvent, and an (F) dispersant. The (E) colorant, organic solvent, and (F) dispersant that can be used in the pigment dispersion can preferably be those described as being usable in the photosensitive resin composition. The content ratio of each (E) colorant in the pigment dispersion can preferably be the same as that described as the content ratio in the photosensitive resin composition.
[0323] When dispersing the colorant (E) using a sand grinder, glass beads or zirconia beads with a particle size of about 0.1 to 8 mm are preferably used. The temperature during the dispersion treatment is preferably 0°C to 100°C, more preferably room temperature to 80°C. The dispersion time varies depending on the composition of the liquid, the size of the dispersion treatment device, and other factors, so it is adjusted appropriately. A guideline for dispersion is to control the gloss of the ink so that the 20-degree specular gloss (JIS Z8741) of the photosensitive resin composition is in the range of 50 to 300.
[0324] The particle size of the pigment dispersed in the ink is preferably 0.03 to 0.3 μm, as measured, for example, by dynamic light scattering. Next, the ink obtained by the dispersion treatment is mixed with the other components contained in the photosensitive resin composition to form a uniform solution or dispersion. Since fine dust particles may be mixed into the liquid during the production process of the photosensitive resin composition, it is desirable to filter the obtained photosensitive resin composition using a filter or the like.
[0325] [2] Partition Wall and Method for Forming the Same The cured product of the present invention can be obtained by curing the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be used to form partition walls, and is suitable for forming, for example, partition walls for dividing organic layers of organic electroluminescent devices or partition walls for dividing pixel sections in color filters containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles. The partition walls of the present invention are composed of the cured product of the present invention. The method for forming partition walls using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and conventionally known methods can be used. Formation of a cured product using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention preferably includes at least the following steps (1) to (4): Step (1): A step of applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to a substrate to form a coating film; Step (2): A step of exposing at least a portion of the coating film formed in step (1); Step (3): A step of developing the coating film exposed in step (2); Step (4): A step of baking the coating film developed in step (3).
[0326] <Step (1): Step of applying the photosensitive resin composition onto a substrate to form a coating film> Examples of methods for supplying the photosensitive resin composition onto a substrate include an inkjet method and a photolithography method.
[0327] In the inkjet method, a photosensitive resin composition whose viscosity has been adjusted by dilution with a solvent or the like is used as ink, and ink droplets are ejected onto a substrate by the inkjet method along a predetermined partition wall pattern to coat the photosensitive resin composition on the substrate and form a pattern of uncured partition walls. The pattern of uncured partition walls is then exposed to light to form cured partition walls on the substrate. The exposure of the pattern of uncured partition walls is performed in the same manner as the exposure step in the photolithography method described below, except that a mask is not used.
[0328] In the photolithography method, a photosensitive resin composition is applied to the entire surface of a region of a substrate where partition walls are to be formed, to form a photosensitive resin composition layer. The formed photosensitive resin composition layer is exposed to light according to a predetermined partition wall pattern, and then the exposed photosensitive resin composition layer is developed to form partition walls on the substrate.
[0329] In the photolithography method, in the coating step of coating a substrate with a photosensitive resin composition, the photosensitive resin composition is applied to the substrate on which the partition walls are to be formed using a contact transfer coating device such as a roll coater, reverse coater, or bar coater, or a non-contact coating device such as a spinner (rotary coating device) or curtain flow coater. After the photosensitive resin composition is supplied to the substrate, it is preferably dried to form a coating film. Drying is preferably performed using a hot plate, IR oven, or convection oven. A reduced-pressure drying method, in which drying is performed in a reduced-pressure chamber without increasing the temperature, may also be combined. Drying conditions can be appropriately selected depending on the type of solvent components, the performance of the dryer used, and the like. The drying time is typically selected from the range of 15 seconds to 5 minutes at a temperature of 40°C to 100°C, and preferably from the range of 30 seconds to 3 minutes at a temperature of 50°C to 80°C, depending on the type of solvent components and the performance of the dryer used. It is preferable to perform the drying within a range not exceeding the baking temperature described below.
[0330] <Step (2): Step of exposing at least a part of the coating film formed in step (1)> In the exposure step, the photosensitive resin composition is irradiated with active energy rays such as ultraviolet light or excimer laser light using a negative mask, and the photosensitive resin composition layer is partially exposed according to the bank pattern. For exposure, a light source that emits ultraviolet light such as a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, or a carbon arc lamp can be used. The exposure dose varies depending on the composition of the photosensitive resin composition, but is, for example, 10 to 400 mJ / cm. 2 The degree is preferable.
[0331] <Step (3): Step of Developing the Coating Film Exposed in Step (2)> In the developing step, the photosensitive resin composition layer exposed according to the partition wall pattern is developed with a developer to form the partition walls. The developing method is not particularly limited, and an immersion method, a spray method, or the like can be used. Examples of the developer include organic developers such as dimethylbenzylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, and aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, ammonia, and quaternary ammonium salts. An antifoaming agent or a surfactant can also be added to the developer.
[0332] After the development step, an additional exposure step (post-exposure step) may be carried out, if necessary. The partition walls after development are exposed by irradiating them with active energy rays such as ultraviolet light or excimer laser light. At this time, partial exposure using a mask may be performed. For exposure, a light source that emits ultraviolet light, such as a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, a carbon arc lamp, or a UV-FL (ultraviolet fluorescent lamp), may be used. The exposure dose varies depending on the composition of the photosensitive resin composition, but is generally 10 mJ / cm. 2 More than 100 mJ / cm is preferable. 2 More preferably, 500 mJ / cm or more 2 More preferably, 800 mJ / cm or more 2 More than 10,000 mJ / cm is particularly preferred. 2 Preferably, 5000 mJ / cm or less 2 More preferably, 2000 mJ / cm or less 2 The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 10 to 10,000 mJ / cm 2 is preferred, and 100 to 10,000 mJ / cm 2 More preferably, 500 to 5000 mJ / cm 2 is more preferably 800 to 2000 mJ / cm 2 is particularly preferred. By setting the irradiation time to the above lower limit or more, there is a tendency for the penetration resistance to be improved. By setting the irradiation time to the above upper limit or less, it is possible to obtain penetration resistance and ensure productivity by not making the irradiation time too long, which is preferable.
[0333] <Step (4): Step of Baking the Coating Film Developed in Step (3)> After development, or after post-exposure following development, the partition walls are baked (post-baked), i.e., subjected to a heat curing treatment. The baking (post-baking) conditions are preferably 80°C or higher, more preferably 90°C or higher, and also preferably 250°C or lower, more preferably 200°C or lower, even more preferably 180°C or lower, even more preferably 140°C or lower, particularly preferably 120°C or lower, and most preferably 100°C or lower. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 80 to 250°C is preferred, 80 to 200°C is more preferred, 80 to 180°C is even more preferred, 80 to 140°C is even more preferred, 80 to 120°C is particularly preferred, 80 to 100°C is even more preferred, and 90 to 100°C is particularly preferred. Furthermore, the baking temperature may be 180°C or less, 80 to 180°C, 90 to 180°C, 80 to 140°C, 90 to 140°C, 80 to 120°C, 90 to 120°C, 80 to 100°C, or 90 to 100°C. At or above the lower limit, penetration resistance and heat resistance tend to be good. By setting the baking temperature at or below the upper limit, there tends to be less impact on manufacturing costs, substrates with limited heat resistance such as plastic substrates, and elements. The baking time is preferably 5 to 120 minutes.
[0334] The substrate used for forming the partition walls is not particularly limited and is appropriately selected depending on the type of organic electroluminescent device or color filter to be manufactured using the substrate on which the partition walls are formed. Suitable substrate materials include glass and various resin materials. Examples of resin materials include polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate; polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene; polycarbonate; poly(meth)acrylic resins; polysulfone; and polyimide. Glass and polyimide are preferred due to their excellent heat resistance. Depending on the type of organic electroluminescent device or color filter to be manufactured, a transparent electrode layer such as ITO or ZnO may be previously provided on the surface of the substrate on which the partition walls are to be formed. Furthermore, partition walls for color filters may be formed on a substrate carrying elements. To improve surface properties such as adhesion, the substrate may be subjected to, for example, corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, or thin film formation treatment using various resins such as silane coupling agents or urethane-based resins, as needed.
[0335] The thickness of the partition walls of the present invention is preferably 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 1 μm or more, even more preferably 5 μm or more, particularly preferably 10 μm or more, and preferably 1 mm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less, even more preferably 50 μm or less, still more preferably 30 μm or less, and particularly preferably 20 μm or less. The above upper and lower limits can be arbitrarily combined. For example, 0.1 μm to 1 mm is preferred, 0.1 to 100 μm is more preferred, 1 to 50 μm is even more preferred, 5 to 30 μm is even more preferred, and 10 to 20 μm is particularly preferred. By setting the thickness to be equal to or greater than the lower limit, light-blocking properties tend to be improved. By setting the thickness to be equal to or less than the upper limit, adhesion tends to be improved. The thickness of the partition walls is measured using a step / surface roughness / microshape measuring device, a scanning white light interference microscope, an ellipsometer, a reflection spectroscopic film thickness meter, or an electron microscope.
[0336] [3] Organic electroluminescent element The organic electroluminescent element of the present invention comprises the partition wall of the present invention. Various organic electroluminescent elements are manufactured using a substrate having a partition wall pattern manufactured by the method described above. The method for forming the organic electroluminescent element is not particularly limited, but preferably, the organic electroluminescent element is manufactured by forming a partition wall pattern on the substrate by the method described above, and then injecting ink into the areas on the substrate surrounded by the partition walls to form organic layers such as pixels.
[0337] Examples of types of organic electroluminescent devices include bottom-emission and top-emission devices. Bottom-emission devices are fabricated, for example, by forming a partition wall on a glass substrate on which a transparent electrode is laminated, and then laminating a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and a metal electrode layer in an opening surrounded by the partition wall. Top-emission devices are fabricated, for example, by forming a partition wall on a glass substrate on which a metal electrode layer is laminated, and then laminating an electron transport layer, a light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer, and a transparent electrode layer in an opening surrounded by the partition wall.
[0338] When the partition walls have a trailing shape, the ink for forming the organic layer is repelled by the trailing edge of the partition walls, which may result in the area surrounded by the partition walls not being sufficiently covered with the ink for forming the organic layer. In contrast, by forming the partition walls in a good shape without trailing edge, the area surrounded by the partition walls can be sufficiently covered with the ink for forming the organic layer. This can, for example, solve the problem of halation in organic EL display elements.
[0339] The solvent used in forming the ink for forming the organic layer may be water, an organic solvent, or a mixture thereof. The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it can be removed from the film formed after the ink is injected. Examples of organic solvents include toluene, xylene, anisole, mesitylene, tetralin, cyclohexylbenzene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and 3-phenoxytoluene. The ink may also contain surfactants, antioxidants, viscosity modifiers, ultraviolet absorbers, and the like.
[0340] As a method for injecting ink into the region surrounded by the partition wall, an inkjet method is preferred because it allows for easy injection of a small amount of ink into a predetermined location. The ink used to form the organic layer is selected appropriately depending on the type of organic electroluminescent device to be manufactured. When injecting ink by the inkjet method, the viscosity of the ink is not particularly limited as long as the ink can be ejected well from the inkjet head, but is preferably 4 to 20 mPa·s, and more preferably 5 to 10 mPa·s. The viscosity of the ink can be adjusted by adjusting the solid content in the ink, changing the solvent, adding a viscosity modifier, etc.
[0341] Examples of the light-emitting layer include organic electroluminescent layers such as those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-146691 and Japanese Patent No. 5734681. Quantum dots such as those described in Japanese Patent No. 5653387 and Japanese Patent No. 5653101 may also be used.
[0342] [4] Color filter containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles The color filter containing the luminescent nanocrystalline particles according to the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it includes the partition walls of the present invention, and examples thereof include a color filter having pixels formed in regions partitioned by the partition walls.
[0343] Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of a color filter including a partition wall of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the color filter 100 includes a substrate 10, a partition wall 20 provided on the substrate, a red pixel 30, a green pixel 40, and a blue pixel 50. The red pixel 30, the green pixel 40, and the blue pixel 50 are arranged in a lattice pattern, repeating in this order. The partition wall 20 is provided between these adjacent pixels. In other words, these adjacent pixels are separated from each other by the partition wall 20.
[0344] The red pixel 30 contains red-emitting nanocrystalline particles 12, and the green pixel 40 contains green-emitting nanocrystalline particles 11. The blue pixel 50 is a pixel that transmits blue light from the light source.
[0345] These nanocrystalline particles are nano-sized crystals that absorb excitation light and emit fluorescence or phosphorescence, and are, for example, crystals whose maximum particle size as measured by a transmission electron microscope or a scanning electron microscope is 100 nm or less.
[0346] The luminescent nanocrystalline particles can absorb light of a specific wavelength and emit light (fluorescence or phosphorescence) of a wavelength different from the absorbed wavelength. For example, red-luminescent nanocrystalline particles 12 emit light having a peak emission wavelength in the range of 605 to 665 nm (red light), and green-luminescent nanocrystalline particles 11 emit light having a peak emission wavelength in the range of 500 to 560 nm (green light).
[0347] According to the solution of the Schrodinger wave equation of the well-well potential model, the wavelength (emission color) of light emitted by luminescent nanocrystalline particles depends on the size (e.g., particle diameter) of the luminescent nanocrystalline particles, but also on the energy gap of the luminescent nanocrystalline particles. Therefore, the emission color can be selected by changing the constituent material and size of the luminescent nanocrystalline particles used. Examples of luminescent nanocrystalline particles include quantum dots.
[0348] The method for producing a color filter containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a method of preparing a substrate having partition walls formed from the cured product of the present invention and forming a layer containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles in the areas partitioned by the partition walls. The method for forming the layer containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles is not particularly limited, but the color filter can be produced, for example, by a method of selectively depositing an ink composition containing luminescent nanocrystalline particles by an inkjet method and curing the ink composition by irradiation with active energy rays or heating.
[0349] [5] Image display device The image display device of the present invention includes the partition wall of the present invention. Examples of the image display device of the present invention include an image display device including the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention. The type and structure of the image display device are not particularly limited as long as it includes the organic electroluminescent element, and it can be assembled according to a conventional method using, for example, an active-drive organic electroluminescent element. For example, the image display device of the present invention can be formed by a method such as that described in "Organic EL Display" (Ohmsha, published August 20, 2004, by Tokito Shizuo, Adachi Chinaya, and Murata Hideyuki). For example, an image can be displayed by combining an organic electroluminescent element that emits white light with a color filter, or by combining organic electroluminescent elements that emit different colors of light, such as RGB.
[0350] An example of the image display device of the present invention is an image display device equipped with a color filter containing the luminescent nanocrystalline particles of the present invention. Examples of types of image display devices include liquid crystal display devices and image display devices including organic electroluminescent elements. In the case of liquid crystal display devices, examples include those including a light source equipped with a blue LED and a liquid crystal layer equipped with electrodes that control the blue light emitted from the light source for each pixel. On the other hand, examples of image display devices including organic electroluminescent elements include those in which blue-emitting organic electroluminescent elements are arranged at positions corresponding to each pixel of the color filter. Specifically, examples include the system described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-87746.
[0351] Next, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples as long as it does not depart from the gist of the invention. The components of the photosensitive resin composition used in the following examples are as follows.
[0352] <Alkali-Soluble Resin-1> (Synthesis of Precursor Resin) 2-norbornene (75% by mass toluene solution, Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd., 125.5 g, 1.00 mol) and dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate) (V-601, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., 9.2 g, 40 mmol) were weighed into an appropriately sized reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer and a condenser and dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK, 196.1 g). Nitrogen was bubbled through this solution for 10 minutes to remove oxygen, and then the solution was heated to 80°C with stirring. While maintaining the solution at 80°C, a previously prepared solution of maleic anhydride (Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., 98.1 g, 1.00 mol) dissolved in MEK (119.9 g) was added dropwise over 1.5 hours, and the reaction was continued for an additional 8 hours while maintaining the temperature at 80°C. The resulting reaction mixture was added dropwise to a large amount of methanol to precipitate a polymer. After filtration using a Nutsche filter, the solid was washed with methanol and vacuum dried at 70° C. The weight-average molecular weight Mw of the resulting precursor resin was 6,900.
[0353] (Synthesis of Alkali-Soluble Resin-1) The precursor resin (50.0 g) described above was weighed into an appropriately sized reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer and a condenser and dissolved in MEK (90 g). 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., 21.2 g, 163 mmol) and triethylamine (5.0 g) were then added and heated at 70°C for 6 hours. Glycidyl methacrylate (11.1 g, 78 mmol) was added to this reaction solution and stirred at 70°C for an additional 4 hours. After acid treatment with formic acid, the reaction solution was added dropwise to a large amount of pure water to precipitate a polymer. The filtered solid was dried in a vacuum dryer at 40°C for 16 hours to obtain Alkali-Soluble Resin-1. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was 7,800. The double bond equivalent was 540 g / mol.
[0354] <Alkali-soluble resin-2> An alkali-soluble acrylic copolymer resin obtained by subjecting a copolymer resin having dicyclopentanyl methacrylate / styrene / glycidyl methacrylate (molar ratio: 0.02 / 0.045 / 0.935) as constituent monomers to an addition reaction of an equal amount of acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate, and further adding tetrahydrophthalic anhydride at a molar ratio of 0.096 per mole of the copolymer resin. Measured by GPC, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) in terms of polystyrene was 8900, and the acid value of the solid content was 27 mgKOH / g.
[0355] <Alkali-soluble Resin-3> An alkali-soluble acrylic copolymer resin obtained by subjecting a copolymer resin having dicyclopentanyl methacrylate / styrene / glycidyl methacrylate (molar ratio: 0.30 / 0.10 / 0.60) as constituent monomers to an addition reaction of an equal amount of acrylic acid to the glycidyl methacrylate, and then further subjecting tetrahydrophthalic anhydride to an addition reaction such that the amount was 0.39 moles per mole of the total number of moles of the constituent monomers of the copolymer resin. Measured by GPC, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) in terms of polystyrene was 9000, and the acid value of the solid content was 80 mgKOH / g.

[0361] <Silicon-Containing Copolymer Resin-1> A four-neck flask was charged with 65 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), which was then purged with nitrogen. The mixture was heated to 95°C while stirring under a nitrogen stream. Two types of dropping liquids were placed in separate dropping devices: a monomer solution prepared by dissolving 31.2 g of 3-methacryloyloxypropyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane and 32.7 g of hydroxyethyl methacrylate in 50 g of PGMEA, and a polymerization initiator solution prepared by dissolving 3.3 g of t-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate as a polymerization initiator in 25 g of PGMEA. These two solutions were simultaneously added dropwise over a period of 2 hours while maintaining the temperature in the flask at 95°C. After the completion of the dropping, the mixture was stirred at 95°C for 5 hours, followed by stirring at 110°C for 1 hour. 96 g of the solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure. Next, 0.03 parts by mass of p-methoxyphenol as a polymerization inhibitor and 0.03 g of tin octoate as a urethanization catalyst were added to the solution obtained above, and stirring was initiated under an air stream. While maintaining the temperature at 75°C, 34.4 g of 2-acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate was added dropwise over 1 hour. After completion of the dropwise addition, the mixture was stirred at 75°C for 1 hour, then heated to 80°C and stirred for 4 hours to obtain an acrylic copolymer resin composed of repeating units of the following formulae (d1-1X) and (d2-1X). (d1-1X) corresponds to (D1), and (d2-1X) corresponds to (D2). The molar ratio of the repeating units (d1-1X) to (d2-1X) measured by NMR was 22:78, and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and number average molecular weight (Mn) measured in terms of polystyrene equivalents by GPC were 14,000 and 2,700, respectively.

[0374] <Preparation of Photosensitive Resin Compositions> [Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5] The components other than pigment dispersion-1 were mixed in the blending ratios shown in Tables 2 and 3, stirred to fully dissolve, and then pigment dispersion-1 was added and mixed, followed by vibration stirring using an ultrasonic cleaner for 10 minutes to prepare photosensitive resin compositions. Each of the obtained photosensitive resin compositions was evaluated using the methods described below. The blending ratios of the pigment dispersion, alkali-soluble resin, and silicon-containing resin in Tables 2 and 3 are values converted to solids content.
[0375]
[0376]
[0377] The performance evaluation method is explained below.
[0378] <Measurement of PGMEA Contact Angle> The photosensitive resin composition was applied onto a glass substrate using a spin coater so that the thickness after post-baking would be 10 μm. The coated substrate was vacuum dried for 1 minute and then heated and dried on a hot plate at 100° C. for 120 seconds. The resulting coating film was exposed to an exposure dose of 80 mJ / cm using a mirror projection exposure machine (MPA-600FA) manufactured by Canon Inc. 2 The light intensity at a wavelength of 365 nm was 500 mW / cm 2 The substrate was then spray-developed for 80 seconds at 22°C using an aqueous solution of 0.04% by mass of KOH and 0.07% by mass of Emulgen A-60 (a surfactant manufactured by Kao Corporation) as a developer, and then washed with pure water for 10 seconds. The substrate was then post-baked for 30 minutes in an oven at the temperature shown in Table 2. Thereafter, for Examples 2 to 4, as shown in Table 2, a UV irradiation device equipped with a UV-FL manufactured by Toshiba Lighting & Technology Corporation was used to apply an illuminance of 0.15 mW / cm. 2 The substrate was then post-exposed to UV light for 5 minutes to obtain a substrate for contact angle measurement.
[0379] Using a Drop Master 500 (contact angle measurement device) manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd., 0.7 μL of PGMEA was dropped onto the substrate for contact angle measurement at 23° C. and 50% RH, and the contact angle was measured 1 second later, and the results are shown in Table 2. A larger contact angle indicates higher liquid repellency.
[0380] <Evaluation of Inkjet (IJ) Wetting and Spreading Properties> The photosensitive resin composition was applied onto a glass substrate using a spinner so that the thickness after post-baking would be 10 μm. The coated substrate was vacuum-dried for 1 minute and further dried by heating on a hot plate at 100° C. for 120 seconds. Next, the resulting coated substrate was exposed to an exposure dose of 80 mJ / cm using a photomask in an MPA exposure machine. 2 The light intensity at a wavelength of 365 nm was 500 mW / cm 2 The photomask used had 15 μm-wide openings arranged in a grid pattern at intervals of 135 μm in both the vertical and horizontal directions. Development, post-baking, and post-exposure were then carried out under the same conditions as in the preparation of the substrate for contact angle measurement, to prepare an inkjet substrate having an inkjet partition pattern.
[0381] A 10 pL nozzle cartridge filled with 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate as the ejection ink was attached to a Fujifilm DMP-2831 inkjet device, and one droplet (equivalent to 10 pL) was ejected onto the pixel portion (opening portion surrounded by partition walls on all four sides) of the inkjet substrate. The inkjet wetting and spreading properties were evaluated according to the size of the ejected droplet that spread, using the following evaluation criteria.
[0382] <Inkjet Wetting and Spreading Property Evaluation Criteria> The area of the inkjet droplet 3 that had spread into the pixel portion 2 (inside the partition wall portion 1) was evaluated visually according to the image in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows the excellence of inkjet wetting and spreading property in order from left to right, with A being the best, B being less wetting and spreading than A but not problematic in practical use, and C and D levels being poor wetting and spreading and problematic in practical use.
[0383] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 to 5 reveals that the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) containing both repeating units (D1) and (D2) can provide both ink repellency and wetting and spreading properties within pixels. This is because the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) contains both repeating units (D1) and (D2). 3 ) 2 When the compound has a polydimethylsiloxane skeleton in which O-units are connected in a straight chain, the Tg is low and the compound easily exudes from the partition wall into the pixel, thereby deteriorating the inkjet wetting and spreading properties. On the other hand, when the compound has a branched structure (D1), the Tg is high and the compound is less likely to exude and is less likely to deteriorate the inkjet wetting and spreading properties.
[0384] A comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 shows that it is difficult to form partition walls as in the present invention unless the initiator (B) contains the oxime ester compound (B1). This is thought to be because initiators such as acetophenone-based initiators have low curing properties in the lower part of the coating film, so the bottom of the thin line part of the coating film is not cured sufficiently, resulting in poor adhesion.
[0385] Furthermore, as shown in Examples 2 to 4, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention exhibited a sufficient PGMEA contact angle even when post-baked at 170°C or lower, and the lower the post-baking temperature, the better the inkjet wetting and spreading properties. This is presumably because the lower the baking temperature, the lower the mobility of the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D) during baking and the higher the Tg of the silicon-containing copolymer resin (D), making it less likely to bleed from the partition walls into the pixels.
