Description

Color-curable resin composition, color filter, and display device

[0001] The present invention relates to a color-curable resin composition, a color filter, and a display device.

[0002] Color filters used in display devices such as liquid crystal displays, electroluminescent displays, and plasma displays; and in solid-state image sensors such as CCDs and CMOS sensors, are manufactured from color-curable resin compositions. Known compositions of this type include those containing colorants, resins, polymerizable compounds, polymerization initiators, inorganic fine particles, etc. (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-081304

[0004] Color filters used in display devices, solid-state image sensors, etc., are required to suppress ambient light reflection from the viewpoint of improving visibility. To suppress ambient light reflection, the haze of the color filter (cured product of a colored curable resin composition) must be sufficiently high. If the haze of the color filter is too low, the light scattering effect is small, and ambient light reflection tends to increase.

[0005] One known method for adjusting haze is to apply silica particles to a colored curable resin composition used to manufacture color filters. However, if the silica particles settle, the effect of suppressing external light reflection may decrease.

[0006] Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a colored curable resin composition containing silica particles that can form a cured product having a sufficiently high haze, and in which sedimentation of silica particles is less likely to occur.

[0007] The inventors of this invention conducted diligent research to solve the above problems and discovered that in a colored curable resin composition containing silica particles, if there is a predetermined relationship between the average particle size of the silica particles and the silica particle content relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition, the resulting cured product of the colored curable resin composition will have a sufficiently high haze, and the sedimentation of silica particles will not easily occur. This led to the completion of the present invention.

[0008] The present invention provides a color-curable resin composition described in [1], a color filter described in [2], and a display device described in [3]. [1] A color-curable resin composition containing a colorant, a resin, a polymerizable compound, a polymerization initiator, and silica particles, wherein X (nm) is the average particle diameter of the silica particles and Y (mass%) is the content of the silica particles based on the total amount of solids in the color-curable resin composition, such that X and Y satisfy the conditions of formulas (1) and (2). 25 ≤ X ≤ 600 (1) -0.019X + 12.9 ≤ Y ≤ -0.075X + 58.8 (2) [2] A color filter formed from the color-curable resin composition described in [1]. [3] A display device comprising the color filter described in [2].

[0009] According to the present invention, a color-curable resin composition containing silica particles is provided that can form a cured product having a sufficiently high haze and is less prone to the sedimentation of silica particles. According to the present invention, a color filter formed from such a color-curable resin composition and a display device including the color filter are provided.

[0010] Figure 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the average particle size (nm) of silica particles and the silica particle content (mass%) relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition.

[0047] In resin [K1], the ratio of structural units derived from each is preferably such that, of the total structural units constituting resin [K1], (a) is 2 to 60 mol% and (b) is 40 to 98 mol%, and more preferably (a) is 10 to 50 mol% and (b) is 50 to 90 mol%.

[0048] When the ratio of structural units of resin [K1] is within the above range, the colored curable resin composition tends to have excellent storage stability, developability when forming colored patterns, and solvent resistance of the resulting cured film.

[0049] The resin [K1] can be manufactured, for example, by referring to the method described in the literature "Experimental Methods for Polymer Synthesis" (authored by Takayuki Otsu, published by Kagaku Dojin Co., Ltd., 1st edition, 1st printing, March 1, 1972) and the cited literature.

[0050] Specifically, a method involves placing predetermined amounts of (a) and (b), a polymerization initiator, a solvent, etc., into a reaction vessel, creating a deoxygenated atmosphere by, for example, replacing oxygen with nitrogen, and heating and maintaining the temperature while stirring. The polymerization initiator and solvent used here are not particularly limited, and those commonly used in the field can be used. Examples of polymerization initiators include azo compounds (2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), dimethyl2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate), etc.) and organic peroxides (benzoyl peroxide, tert-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, etc.). As for the solvent, any solvent that dissolves each monomer can be used, for example, those exemplified by component (F) described later can be used.

[0051] The resulting copolymer may be used as is after the reaction, or a concentrated or diluted solution may be used. Alternatively, the resulting copolymer may be used after being extracted as a solid (powder) by methods such as reprecipitation. In particular, by using component (F) described later as a solvent during this polymerization, the solution after the reaction can be used in the preparation of the colored curable resin composition, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the colored curable resin composition of this embodiment.

[0052] In resin [K2], the ratio of structural units derived from each is preferably such that, out of the total structural units constituting resin [K2], (a) structural units: 2 to 45 mol%, (b) structural units: 2 to 95 mol%, and (c) structural units: 1 to 65 mol%, and more preferably such that (a) structural units: 5 to 40 mol%, (b) structural units: 5 to 80 mol%, and (c) structural units: 5 to 60 mol%.

[0053] When the ratio of structural units of resin [K2] is within the above range, the colored curable resin composition tends to exhibit excellent storage stability, developability when forming colored patterns, and solvent resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength of the resulting cured film.

[0054] Resin [K2] can be manufactured, for example, in the same manner as described as the method for manufacturing resin [K1].

[0055] In resin [K3], the ratio of structural units derived from each is preferably such that, of the total structural units constituting resin [K3], (a) is 2 to 60 mol% and (c) is 40 to 98 mol%, and more preferably (a) is 10 to 50 mol% and (c) is 50 to 90 mol%.

[0056] Resin [K3] can be manufactured, for example, in the same manner as described as the method for manufacturing resin [K1].

[0057] The resin [K4] can be produced by obtaining a copolymer of (a) and (c), and then adding the cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms in (b) to the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic acid anhydride in (a).

[0058] First, a copolymer of (a) and (c) is produced in the same manner as described for the production of resin [K1]. In this case, the ratio of structural units derived from each is preferably the same as that given for resin [K3].

[0059] Next, a cyclic ether having 2 to 4 carbon atoms in (b) is reacted with a portion of the carboxylic acid and / or carboxylic anhydride derived from (a) in the copolymer of (a) and (c).

[0060] Following the production of the copolymer of (a) and (c), the atmosphere inside the flask is replaced from nitrogen to air, and (b), a reaction catalyst for the reaction between a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride and a cyclic ether (e.g., tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, triphenylphosphine, etc.) and a polymerization inhibitor (e.g., hydroquinone, methoquinone, etc.) are added to the flask and the mixture is reacted at, for example, 60 to 130°C for 1 to 10 hours to produce resin [K4].

[0061] The amount of (b) used is preferably 5 to 80 moles, more preferably 10 to 75 moles, per 100 moles of (a). This range tends to result in a good balance of storage stability of the colored curable resin composition, developability when forming a colored pattern, pattern shape, curability at low temperatures, and solvent resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and sensitivity of the resulting colored pattern. Since the cyclic ether is highly reactive and unreacted (b) is less likely to remain, the (b) used in the resin [K4] is preferably (b1), more preferably (b1-1).

[0062] The amount of reaction catalyst used is preferably 0.001 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (a), (b), and (c). The amount of polymerization inhibitor used is preferably 0.001 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (a), (b), and (c).

[0063] The reaction conditions, such as the preparation method, reaction temperature, and time, can be adjusted as appropriate, taking into account the manufacturing equipment, the amount of heat generated by polymerization, etc. Similarly, the preparation method and reaction temperature can be adjusted as appropriate, taking into account the manufacturing equipment, the amount of heat generated by polymerization, etc.

[0064] As a first step, resin [K5] is produced in the same manner as resin [K1] to obtain a copolymer of (b) and (c). As described above, the obtained copolymer may be used as is after the reaction, or a concentrated or diluted solution may be used. The obtained copolymer may also be used after being extracted as a solid (powder) by methods such as reprecipitation.

[0065] The ratio of structural units derived from (b) and (c) is preferably such that, with respect to the total number of moles of all structural units constituting the copolymer, the ratio of structural units derived from (b) is 5 to 95 mol%, and the ratio of structural units derived from (c) is 5 to 95 mol%, and more preferably the ratio of structural units derived from (b) is 10 to 90 mol%, and the ratio of structural units derived from (c) is 10 to 90 mol%.

[0066] When the ratio of structural units of resin [K5] is within the above range, the storage stability of the colored curable resin composition, developability when forming colored patterns, pattern shape, curability at low temperatures, and the balance of solvent resistance, heat resistance, mechanical strength, and sensitivity of the resulting colored patterns tend to be good.

[0067] Furthermore, under the same conditions as for the production of resin [K4], resin [K5] can be obtained by reacting the cyclic ether derived from (b) in the copolymer of (b) and (c) with the carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride contained in (a).

[0068] The amount of (a) used to react with the copolymer is preferably 5 to 100 moles per 100 moles of (b). Because the cyclic ether is highly reactive and unreacted (b) is unlikely to remain, the (b) used in the resin [K5] is preferably (b1), more preferably (b1-1).

[0069] Resin [K6] is a resin obtained by further reacting resin [K5] with a polycarboxylic acid and / or carboxylic acid anhydride. The hydroxyl group generated by the reaction of a cyclic ether derived from (b) with a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride derived from (a) is further reacted with a polycarboxylic acid and / or carboxylic acid anhydride.

[0070] Examples of polycarboxylic acids include oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, and tricarbanilic acid. Examples of carboxylic acid anhydrides include succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, 3-vinylphthalic anhydride, 4-vinylphthalic anhydride, 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, dimethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride, and 5,6-dicarboxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene anhydride. The amount of polycarboxylic acid and / or carboxylic acid anhydride used is preferably 0.05 to 1 mole, more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 moles, per 1 mole of the amount of (a) used.

[0071] Component (B) is preferably a resin having structural units with ethylenically unsaturated bonds in the side chains (resin [K4] or resin [K5]), more preferably a resin having structural units containing (meth)acryloyl groups in the side chains.

[0072] Resins having structural units containing a (meth)acryloyl group in the side chain are preferably resins [K4] that use monomers having a (meth)acryloyl group as (b), such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate, 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate, 3-methyl-3-methacryloyloxymethyl oxetane, and tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, and resins [K5] that use monomers having a (meth)acryloyl group as (a), such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and mono[2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl] succinate.

[0073] The weight-average molecular weight of component (B) in terms of polystyrene is preferably 3,000 to 100,000, more preferably 4,000 to 50,000, and even more preferably 5,000 to 30,000. When the weight-average molecular weight of component (B) in terms of polystyrene is within the above range, the hardness of the cured film of the colored curable resin composition is improved, the residual film rate is high, the solubility of the unexposed areas in the developer is good, the pattern shape is improved, and the resolution of the colored pattern tends to improve.

[0074] The acid value of component (B) is preferably 10 to 170 mg-KOH / g, more preferably 20 to 150 mg-KOH / g, and even more preferably 30 to 135 mg-KOH / g, on a solid content basis. Here, the acid value is measured as the amount (mg) of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize 1 g of component (B), and can be determined, for example, by titration using an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution.

[0075] The content of component (B) is preferably 1 to 60% by mass, more preferably 3 to 50% by mass, and even more preferably 5 to 45% by mass, based on the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition. When the content of component (B) is within the above range, it is easier to prevent aggregation of component (E) and suppress sedimentation, thus improving sedimentation properties. Furthermore, by adsorbing onto the particle surface of component (E), it is easier to suppress the generation of residuals derived from component (E) after the development process, resulting in good developability.

[0076] <Component (C): Polymerizable Compound> Component (C) is a compound that can be polymerized by active radicals and / or acids generated from component (D) described below. Examples of component (C) include compounds having an ethylenically unsaturated bond. Component (C) is preferably a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group. By having a compound having a (meth)acryloyl group as component (C), it is possible to obtain a cured product with excellent pattern-forming properties in a colored curable resin composition.

[0080] The molecular weight or weight-average molecular weight of component (C) is preferably 150 to 2900, more preferably 200 to 1500.

[0081] The content of component (C) is preferably 1 to 50% by mass, more preferably 3 to 40% by mass, and even more preferably 5 to 30% by mass, based on the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition. When the content of component (C) is within the above range, the degree of curing of the cured coating film by exposure can be increased, and component (E) is less likely to detach during the development process, so haze tends to be improved.

[0097] Component (D) is preferably a polymerization initiator comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of O-acyloxime compounds, alkylphenone compounds, triazine compounds, acylphosphine oxide compounds, and biimidazole compounds, and more preferably a polymerization initiator comprising an O-acyloxime compound.

[0098] The content of component (D) is preferably 0.1 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of components (B) and (C). When the content of component (D) is within the above range, the degree of hardening of the cured coating film due to exposure can be increased, and component (E) is less likely to detach during the development process, so the haze tends to be good.

[0099] <Component (Da): Polymerization Initiator> Component (Da) is a compound or sensitizer used to promote the polymerization of polymerizable compounds. When a colored curable resin composition contains component (D), it is usually used in combination with component (D).

[0101] Examples of amine compounds include triethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, triisopropanolamine, methyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, isoamyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, 2-dimethylaminoethyl benzoate, 2-ethylhexyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate, N,N-dimethylparatoluidine, 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone (commonly known as Michla's ketone), 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, and 4,4'-bis(ethylmethylamino)benzophenone. Commercially available amine compounds such as EAB-F (manufactured by Hodogaya Chemical Co., Ltd.) may also be used. Among these, 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone is preferred as the amine compound.

[0102] Examples of alkoxyanthracene compounds include 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene, 2-ethyl-9,10-dimethoxyanthracene, 9,10-diethoxyanthracene, 2-ethyl-9,10-diethoxyanthracene, 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene, and 2-ethyl-9,10-dibutoxyanthracene.

[0103] Examples of thioxanthone compounds include 2-isopropylthioxanthone, 4-isopropylthioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2,4-dichlorothioxanthone, and 1-chloro-4-propoxythioxanthone.

[0104] Examples of carboxylic acid compounds include phenylsulfanylacetic acid, methylphenylsulfanylacetic acid, ethylphenylsulfanylacetic acid, methylethylphenylsulfanylacetic acid, dimethylphenylsulfanylacetic acid, methoxyphenylsulfanylacetic acid, dimethoxyphenylsulfanylacetic acid, chlorophenylsulfanylacetic acid, dichlorophenylsulfanylacetic acid, N-phenylglycine, phenoxyacetic acid, naphthylthioacetic acid, N-naphthylglycine, and naphthoxyacetic acid.

[0105] When using these (Da) components, their content is preferably 0.1 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (B) and (C) components. When the amount of (Da) component is within this range, the degree of hardening of the cured coating film due to exposure can be increased, and the (E) component is less likely to detach during the development process, so haze tends to be improved. Furthermore, by adsorbing onto the particle surface of the (E) component, it becomes easier to suppress the generation of residuals originating from the (E) component after the development process, resulting in improved developability.

[0106] <Component (E): Silica particles> Component (E) is silica (SiO ２ These are solid particles (solid silica particles) composed of ). Here, solid particles mean particles that are not hollow inside but are composed entirely of uniform silica. By including component (E) in the colored curable resin composition of this embodiment, the haze of the color filter (cured product of the colored curable resin composition) can be improved.

[0107] (E) Component may be prepared by a known method, or a commercially available product may be used as is.

[0108] The surface of component (E) may be chemically modified. Examples of materials used to chemically modify the surface of component (E) include silane coupling agents. Examples of functional groups of silane coupling agents include vinyl groups, acryloyl groups, epoxy groups, mercapto groups, amino groups, diamino groups, alkoxy groups, and ethoxy groups.

[0109] When the average particle size of component (E) is X (nm) and the content of component (E) relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition is Y (mass%), X and Y satisfy the conditions of equations (1) and (2). In other words, when the coordinate (X, Y) is plotted on a graph, the coordinate (X, Y) is said to be located within the region enclosed by the four straight lines X = 25, X = 600, Y = -0.019X + 12.9, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8. Colored curable resin compositions in which the average particle size (nm) of component (E) and the content (mass%) of component (E) relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition are within this range are capable of forming cured products with sufficiently high haze and tend to be less prone to sedimentation of component (E). 25≦X≦600 (1) -0.019X+12.9≦Y≦-0.075X+58.8 (2)

[0110] Regarding formula (1), the average particle size (X (nm)) of component (E) is 25 to 600 nm. The smaller the average particle size of component (E), the less likely it is to settle even when the amount of component (E) added is large. The larger the average particle size of component (E), the easier it is to obtain good haze even when the amount of component (E) added is small. The average particle size of component (E) is preferably 30 nm or more. Furthermore, the average particle size of component (E) is preferably 500 nm or less, more preferably 450 nm or less, even more preferably 400 nm or less, particularly preferably 350 nm or less, and especially preferably 335 nm or less.

[0111] In this specification, the average particle size refers to the number-based median diameter (Dn50) in the particle size distribution of primary particles determined by dynamic light scattering.

[0112] With respect to formula (2), when the content of component (E) (Y (mass%)) of the colored curable resin composition is (-0.019X + 12.9) mass% or more and (-0.075X + 58.8) mass% or less, it is easier to obtain a colored curable resin composition in which the haze of the cured product is sufficiently high (for example, 3% or more) and the settling of component (E) is less likely to occur. For example, in a colored curable resin composition, adding a large amount of particles with a small average particle size tends to increase the haze, but adding too much tends to cause settling. Therefore, when Y is within the above range, it is possible to achieve both settling suppression and haze improvement simultaneously.

[0113] The content of component (E) (Y (mass%)) relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition is preferably 5.0% by mass or more, more preferably 10.0% by mass or more, even more preferably 15.0% by mass or more, particularly preferably 20.0% by mass or more, especially preferably 25.0% by mass or more, and most preferably 30.0% by mass or more, since this can further improve the haze of the color filter (cured product of the colored curable resin composition).

[0114] X and Y preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1A) and (2A), more preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1B) and (2B), even more preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1C) and (2C), particularly preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1D) and (2D), especially preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1E) and (2E), and most preferably satisfy the conditions of formulas (1F) and (2F). X≧25 (1A) 5.0≦Y≦-0.075X+58.8 (2A) X≧25 (1B) 10.0≦Y≦-0.075X+58.8 (2B) X≧25 (1D) 20.0≦Y≦-0.075X+58.8 (2D) X≧25 (1E) 25.0≦Y≦-0.075X+58.8 (2E)

[0115] In other words, when the coordinates (X, Y) are plotted on a graph, it is preferable that the coordinates (X, Y) lie within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 5.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8, more preferably within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 10.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8, and within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 15.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8. It is even more preferable that it lies within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 20.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8, it is particularly preferable that it lies within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 25.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8, and it is most preferable that it lies within the region enclosed by the three lines X = 25, Y = 30.0, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8.

[0125] The content of component (F) is preferably 70 to 95% by mass, more preferably 75 to 92% by mass, based on the total amount of the colored curable resin composition. In other words, the solid content of the colored curable resin composition is preferably 5 to 30% by mass, more preferably 8 to 25% by mass, based on the total amount of the colored curable resin composition. When the content of component (F) is within the above range, it is possible to adjust the unevenness of the coating film caused by the accumulation of component (E) on the coating film surface, thereby obtaining good haze. In addition, it is possible to suppress the aggregation and sedimentation of component (E), and there is a tendency for good sedimentation properties.

[0134] <Other Components> The colored curable resin composition of this embodiment may optionally contain additives known in the art, such as dispersants, ultraviolet absorbers, fillers, other polymer compounds, adhesion promoters, antioxidants, light stabilizers, and chain transfer agents.

[0135] The colored curable resin composition of this embodiment can be prepared, for example, by mixing components (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E), as well as components (Da), (F), (G), (H), and other components as needed. It is preferable to filter the colored curable resin composition through a filter with a pore size of about 0.01 to 10 μm after mixing the components.

[0136] The color-curable resin composition of this embodiment is suitably used for forming color filters.

[0137] [Color filter and method for manufacturing the same] Methods for manufacturing a colored pattern from the color-curable resin composition of this embodiment include photolithography, inkjet printing, and printing. Among these, photolithography is preferred as the method for manufacturing the colored pattern. Photolithography is a method in which the color-curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, dried to form a colored coating film, and the colored coating film is exposed to light through a photomask for development. In photolithography, by not using a photomask during exposure and / or by not developing, a color-cured coating film, which is a cured product of the colored coating film, can be formed. The colored pattern (pattern color-cured coating film) or color-cured coating film formed in this way is the color filter of this embodiment.

[0138] The film thickness of the color filter to be manufactured is not particularly limited and can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the purpose and application. The film thickness of the color filter may be, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.1 to 20 μm, and more preferably 0.5 to 6 μm.

[0139] Examples of substrates include glass plates such as quartz glass, borosilicate glass, aluminasilate glass, and soda-lime glass with a silica coating on the surface; resin plates such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyethylene terephthalate; silicon substrates; and substrates on which thin films of aluminum, silver, or silver / copper / palladium alloys are formed. Other color filters (colored patterns or colored hardened coatings), resin films, transistors, circuits, etc., may be formed on these substrates.

[0140] The formation of each color pixel by photolithography can be carried out using known or conventional equipment and conditions. For example, each color pixel can be fabricated by photolithography as described below.

[0141] First, a colored curable resin composition is applied to a substrate, and volatile components such as solvents are removed by heat drying (pre-baking) and / or vacuum drying, and then dried to obtain a smooth colored coating.

[0142] Coating methods include spin coating, slit coating, and slit and spin coating. When performing heat drying, the temperature is preferably 30 to 120°C, more preferably 50 to 110°C. The heating time is preferably 10 seconds to 60 minutes, more preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. When performing vacuum drying, it is preferable to do so under a pressure of 50 to 150 Pa and at a temperature range of 20 to 25°C.

[0143] The thickness of the colored coating is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the desired thickness of the color filter.

[0144] Next, the colored coating is exposed through a photomask to form the desired color pattern. The pattern formed by the photomask is not particularly limited, and a pattern suitable for the intended application can be used.

[0145] The light source used for exposure is preferably a light source that generates light with a wavelength of 250 to 450 nm. The light source used for exposure may, for example, cut out light below 350 nm using a filter that cuts out this wavelength range, or it may selectively extract light around 436 nm, around 408 nm, and around 365 nm using a bandpass filter that extracts these wavelength ranges. Specific examples of light sources used for exposure include mercury lamps, light-emitting diodes, metal halide lamps, halogen lamps, etc.

[0146] In exposure, it is preferable to use an exposure apparatus such as a mask aligner and stepper, as this allows for uniform irradiation of the entire exposure surface with parallel light rays and enables precise alignment between the photomask and the substrate on which the colored coating has been formed.

[0147] A colored pattern is formed on the substrate by developing the colored coating film (i.e., the colored and cured coating film) after exposure by contacting it with a developer.

[0168]

[0169] <Preparation of Colored Cured Films> The colored curable resin compositions of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, prepared as described above, were applied by spin coating onto a 5 cm square glass substrate (Eagle 2000 (Corning)) to a post-baking film thickness of 2.5 μm. After pre-baking at 85°C for 2 minutes, a colored coating film was formed. After cooling, the colored coating film formed on the substrate was exposed to 100 mJ / cm² in an air atmosphere using an exposure machine (TME-150RSK (Topcon Corporation)). ２The samples were irradiated with light at an exposure level of 365 nm. After light irradiation, post-baking was performed in an oven at 85°C for 30 minutes to obtain the colored cured films of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5.

[0170] <Measurement of Haze> The haze of the obtained colored cured film was measured using a haze meter HZ-2 (manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4. A haze of 3% or more indicates good suppression of external light reflection.

[0171] <Evaluation of Settling Properties> 20 mL of the colored curable resin compositions of Examples 1-11 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were dispensed into 30 mL glass vials and left to stand at room temperature for 24 hours. After that, the presence or absence of precipitate at the bottom of the glass vials was visually checked to evaluate the settling properties of component (E). If no precipitate was observed after 24 hours of standing, it was classified as "A" as poor settling, and if precipitate was observed after 24 hours of standing, it was classified as "B". The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0172]

[0173]

[0174] As shown in Tables 3 and 4, the colored curable resin compositions of Examples 1 to 11 had a haze of 3% or more, and no sedimentation of component (E) was observed. On the other hand, the colored curable resin compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 lacked sufficient haze or sedimentation.

[0175] Figure 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the average particle size (nm) of component (E) and the content (mass%) of component (E) relative to the total amount of solids in the colored curable resin composition. In Figure 1, the four lines are X = 25, X = 600, Y = -0.019X + 12.9, and Y = -0.075X + 58.8. In Figure 1, the black circles represent the coordinates (X, Y) of the colored curable resin composition of the example, and the white circles represent the coordinates (X, Y) of the colored curable resin composition of the comparative example. As shown in Figure 1, the black circles are located within the region enclosed by the four lines mentioned above, while the white circles are located outside the region enclosed by the four lines mentioned above. From this, it was confirmed that when X and Y satisfy the conditions of equations (1) and (2) (the coordinates (X, Y) lie within the region enclosed by the four lines mentioned above), a colored curable resin composition containing component (E) can form a cured product with sufficiently high haze, and is less prone to settling of component (E).
