Description

  The present invention relates to a photosensitive coloring composition, and in particular, a color filter used in a liquid crystal display device or a solid-state imaging device, and is a highly sensitive photosensitive material useful for forming each color filter segment such as red, green, and blue, and a black matrix. The present invention relates to a coloring composition. The present invention also relates to a color filter formed using the photosensitive coloring composition.

  A color filter has two or more kinds of fine band (striped) filter segments arranged in parallel or intersecting with each other on the surface of a transparent substrate such as glass, or the fine filter segments are arranged vertically and horizontally. It is made up of those arranged in The filter segments are as fine as several microns to several hundreds of microns, and are regularly arranged in a predetermined arrangement for each hue.

  Generally, in a color liquid crystal display device, a transparent electrode for driving a liquid crystal is formed on a color filter by vapor deposition or sputtering, and an alignment film for aligning the liquid crystal in a certain direction is further formed thereon. Yes. In order to sufficiently obtain the performance of these transparent electrodes and alignment films, it is necessary to form them generally at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, preferably 230 ° C. or higher.

For this reason, at present, as a method for producing a color filter, a method called a pigment dispersion method using a pigment having excellent light resistance and heat resistance as a colorant is mainly used.
In the case of the pigment dispersion method, a photosensitive coloring composition (pigment resist) in which a pigment is dispersed in a photosensitive resin solution is applied to a transparent substrate such as glass, the solvent is removed by drying, and then pattern exposure of one filter color is performed. Next, the unexposed area is removed in the development process to form a pattern for the first color, and after processing such as heating as necessary, the same operation is sequentially repeated for all filter colors to produce a color filter. can do.

In recent years, color liquid crystal display devices have formed a large market for liquid crystal color televisions, car navigation and liquid crystal display integrated laptops, and monitors and televisions for desktop computers that take advantage of energy and space saving features. As it has begun to spread. Although attention is paid to a display device that replaces a conventional CRT, the color reproduction characteristic of a liquid crystal display device is inferior to that of a CRT at present.
Therefore, there is an increasing demand for high color reproducibility in color filters in which filter segments for each color are arranged.

  In order to improve contrast, a black matrix is generally arranged between the filter segments of each color of the color filter. However, the material for forming this black matrix has recently become an environmental problem, low reflection, and low cost. In view of the above, attention is focused on a resin black matrix in which a light-shielding pigment is dispersed in a resin instead of a metal chromium black matrix. However, the resin black matrix has a problem that the light shielding property (optical density) is lower than that of the metal chromium black matrix.

  In order to improve the color reproduction characteristics of the color filter and to improve the light blocking property of the black matrix, it is necessary to increase the pigment content in the photosensitive coloring composition or to increase the film thickness. However, in the method of increasing the pigment content, problems such as sensitivity reduction, developability, and resolution deteriorate. In the method of increasing the film thickness, there is a problem that the exposure light does not reach the bottom of the film and the pattern shape becomes defective.

  In order to solve such problems, it is necessary to increase the sensitivity of the photosensitive coloring composition. In general, (1) provision of a reactive double bond of the resin, (2) photopolymerization initiator, Selection or increase of the sensitizer, (3) selection or increase of the monomer, etc. are carried out.

JP 2001-264530 A JP 2003-156842 A

However, improvement in sensitivity is limited only by the provision of a double bond of the resin and the selection of a photopolymerization initiator, a sensitizer, and a monomer. In particular, when the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is increased, coloring due to a color unique to the photopolymerization initiator, a decrease in heat resistance, a decrease in light transmittance, a decrease in resolution, and the like occur. Further, when the amount of the monomer is increased, problems such as tackiness occur.
Therefore, the present invention is a photosensitive coloring having high sensitivity, high residual film ratio, high linearity, pattern shape, resolution, development resistance, and chemical resistance even when the pigment content is high or the film thickness is large.

As the most preferable structure of the photopolymerization initiator (A), a compound represented by the following formula (2) may be mentioned.
Formula (2)

  The photopolymerization initiator (A) contained in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention is an oxime ester photopolymerization initiator. Oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiators are believed to decompose the oxime ester moiety by absorbing ultraviolet rays to produce iminyl radicals and alkyloxy radicals, and the radicals of the active species produced by further decomposition cause the reaction. However, the photopolymerization initiator (A) contained in the photosensitive coloring composition of the present invention has a structure represented by the general formula (1), so that the decomposition efficiency by ultraviolet irradiation is very high, A pattern can be formed with a small exposure amount.

  The reason why the photopolymerization initiator (A) of the present invention can function with higher sensitivity than the conventional initiator is considered as two possible reasons, but the details are not clear.

  The first reason is that the photopolymerization initiator (A) of the present invention has extremely good ultraviolet absorption performance due to the structure represented by the general formula (1). It can absorb well. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the obtained energy is efficiently used for the decomposition of the oxime ester moiety, so that the decomposition by the energy beam irradiation is fast and a large amount of radicals can be generated instantaneously.

  The second reason is that the photopolymerization initiator (A) of the present invention has a structure represented by the general formula (1), in which decomposition of an iminyl radical generated by absorbing ultraviolet rays into an active species radical occurs. It can be considered that it is very fast. If the iminyl radical to be produced is metastable, the decomposition is slowed down and the amount of active radicals produced is reduced, but this is greatly affected by the chemical structure of the UV-absorbing moiety. The photopolymerization initiator (A) of the present invention has a structure represented by the general formula (1), so that iminyl radicals generated by decomposition by light irradiation are decomposed very quickly, and a large amount of radicals are generated. It is thought that it has brought.

  Moreover, since the photoinitiator (A) of this invention is decomposition | disassembly of an iminyl radical is very quick as mentioned above, it is thought that recombination is suppressed. When the number of recombination is large, the active species generated by the decomposition is reduced, so that the function as a radical polymerization initiator is lowered.

  The photopolymerization initiator (A) represented by the general formula (1) is 1 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 150 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pigment (D) in the photosensitive coloring composition. Can be used in quantities.
