Definitions
- the present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a cured product, and an image display device.
- the present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition having high sensitivity and excellent fine-line adhesion, a cured product obtained by curing the photosensitive resin composition, and an image display device having the cured product.
- the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is particularly suitable for a photosensitive resin composition for a black matrix (Black Matrix, hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “BM”) capable of forming highly sensitive and fine fine lines. Yes.
- Black Matrix hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “BM”
- Color filters usually form a black matrix on the surface of a transparent substrate such as glass or plastic, followed by three or more different color pixels such as red, green, blue, etc. Formed in a pattern such as a shape or a mosaic.
- the pattern size varies depending on the use of the color filter and each color, but is usually about 5 to 700 ⁇ m.
- a pigment dispersion method is currently known as a typical method for producing a color filter.
- a photosensitive resin composition containing a black pigment is applied on a transparent substrate and then dried, and after image exposure and development, it is cured by high-temperature treatment at 200 ° C. or higher. As a result, a BM is formed. This process is repeated for each color such as red, green, and blue to form a color filter.
- the BM is generally arranged in a grid, stripe, or mosaic between pixels such as red, green, and blue, and serves to improve contrast by preventing color mixture between pixels or to prevent light leakage. . For this reason, the BM is required to have high light shielding properties.
- the edge portions of the red, green, and blue pixels formed after the BM partially overlap with the BM, a step is formed at the overlapping portion under the influence of the BM film thickness. In this overlapping portion, the flatness of the pixels is impaired, and the liquid crystal cell gap becomes non-uniform or the alignment of the liquid crystal is disturbed, causing a reduction in display capability.
- the ratio of the photopolymerization initiator that can be added is decreasing, and a highly sensitive initiator that can maintain the degree of crosslinking even when added in a small amount is demanded.
- the output of the backlight is in the direction of lowering. Is being promoted.
- downsizing such as tablets has become the mainstream in the liquid crystal display market, and the demand for high resolution is increasing for large televisions.
- the line width of BM thin wires has been demanded from about 10 ⁇ m to about 6 to 8 ⁇ m at present.
- the pattern line width of the exposure mask is less than 10 ⁇ m, the influence of diffraction of the light that has passed increases, and the amount of light that reaches the BM surface decreases accordingly. Therefore, a highly sensitive initiator is required.
- the development time is generally set longer in order to eliminate residues, but this causes the dissolution (insertion) of the BM / substrate interface to proceed, and the line pattern is liable to peel off. .
- the pattern line width is 10 ⁇ m or more, even if insertion of about 1 to 2 ⁇ m occurs (about 2 to 4 ⁇ m in total on both sides of the line), fine line adhesion can be maintained.
- the BM / substrate adhesion area is small. Each time the line width is reduced and the line width is reduced by 1 ⁇ m, the decrease in the development adhesion is remarkably increased.

- X The line width of the pattern of 15 micrometers is less than 15 micrometers.
- Comparative Example 1 the BM surface is strongly cured but the inside of the BM is insufficiently cured, so that it is considered that the thin line adhesion is poor although the line width is large.
- Comparative Example 2 it is considered that the fine line adhesion is good for the thin line width because the hardening of the BM surface is loose but the hardening inside the BM is strong.
- Examples 1 to 5 it is considered that the progress of the BM surface and internal curing in a well-balanced manner leads to both fine line adhesion and high sensitivity.
- the line width becomes thick due to high sensitivity, but many advantages are desirable from the following viewpoints.
- the amount of photopolymerization initiator can be reduced by the margin of sensitivity, and can be distributed to improve performance such as development resistance and substrate adhesion by replacing the reduced amount with alkali-soluble resin or photopolymerizable monomer. . ⁇
- the exposure speed can be increased and the productivity is improved.
- Comparative Example 1 is also a result of high sensitivity, since the curing inside the BM is insufficient, further reduction in the adhesion of fine wires is caused when the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is reduced or the exposure amount is reduced.
- the phenyl sulfide photopolymerization initiator is excellent in UV absorption ability around 330 nm, but the benzofuran part of the condensed heterocyclic ring of the photopolymerization initiator (c1) represented by the general formula (I) is a coloring material,
- the adsorption of the photopolymerization initiator (c1) to the surface of the colorant particles is promoted.
- the light absorbed by the color material does not contribute to the polymerization and causes a significant decrease in exposure sensitivity.
- the photopolymerization initiator covers the color material surface, so that the light absorption rate with respect to the photopolymerization initiator is improved. Further, the adsorption of the photopolymerization initiator to the coloring material relatively lowers the photopolymerization initiator concentration in the resin component, so that the light transmittance to the deep portion is improved. Thereby, it is considered that the internal curability of the resist film is improved and the fine wire adhesion is improved.
- the photopolymerization initiator (c1) uses only a part of the low wavelength side of the UV wavelength range of the exposure light source, and sufficient sensitivity cannot be obtained, so the maximum absorption wavelength is in the long wavelength range.
- the sensitivity particularly the surface sensitivity can be increased. Since there is a difference in the maximum absorption wavelength between the photopolymerization initiator (c1) and the photopolymerization initiator (c2), the influence on the internal curability due to the combined use can be suppressed. It is considered that the surface sensitivity and internal curing can be improved at the same time. From the above, it can be seen that by using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, it is possible to provide a photosensitive resin composition excellent in high sensitivity and fine wire adhesion performance.

また、顔料がカーボンブラックの場合の平均粒径は、60nm以下が好ましく、50nm以下がさらに好ましく、また、20nm以上が好ましい。平均粒径を前記上限値以下とすることで、散乱が小さくなり、遮光性やコントラストなどの色特性の低下を抑制できる傾向がある。また、平均粒径を前記下限値以上とすることで、分散剤の量が過度に多くならずに済み、分散性が良好となる傾向がある。
なお、上記顔料の平均粒径は、電子顕微鏡写真から一次粒子の大きさを直接計測する方法で求めることができる。具体的には、個々の一次粒子の短軸径と長軸径を計測し、その平均をその粒子の粒径とする。次に、100個以上の粒子について、それぞれの粒子の体積(質量)を、求めた粒径の直方体と近似して求め、体積平均粒径を求めそれを平均粒径とする。なお、電子顕微鏡は透過型(TEM)または走査型(SEM)のいずれを用いても同じ結果を得ることができる。

分散剤の三級アミン価は、分散剤試料中の溶剤を除いた固形分1gあたりの塩基量と当量のKOHの質量で表し、次の方法により測定することができる。
100mLのビーカーに分散剤試料の0.5~1.5gを精秤し、50mLの酢酸で溶解する。pH電極を備えた自動滴定装置を使って、この溶液を0.1mol/LのHClO4(過塩素酸)酢酸溶液にて中和滴定する。滴定pH曲線の変曲点を滴定終点とし次式によりアミン価を求める。

上記有機溶剤のうち、塗布性、表面張力などのバランスが良く、組成物中の構成成分の溶解度が比較的高い点からは、グリコールアルキルエーテルアセテート類が好ましい。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物には、上述の成分の他、密着向上剤、塗布性向上剤、顔料誘導体、現像改良剤、紫外線吸収剤、酸化防止剤等を適宜配合することができる。
基板との密着性を改善するため、密着向上剤を含有させてもよく、例えば、シランカップリング剤、チタンカップリング剤等が挙げられるが、特にシランカップリング剤が好ましい。
このようなシランカップリング剤としては、例えば、KBM-402、KBM-403、KBM-502、KBM-5103、KBE-9007、X-12-1048、X12-1050(信越シリコーン社製)、Z-6040、Z-6043、Z-6062(東レ・ダウコーニング社製)等が挙げられる。なお、シランカップリング剤は、1種を用いてもよく、2種以上を任意の組み合わせ及び比率で併用してもよい。
さらに、シランカップリング剤以外の密着向上剤を本発明の感光性樹脂組成物に含有させてもよく、例えば、リン酸系密着向上剤、その他の密着向上剤等が挙げられる。
その他の密着向上剤としては、TEGO*Add Bond LTH(Evonik社製)などが挙げられる。これらの燐酸基含有化合物やその他の密着剤も1種類を単独で用いても、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物には、塗布性向上のため、塗布性向上剤として界面活性剤を含有させてもよい。界面活性剤としては、例えば、アニオン系、カチオン系、非イオン系および両性界面活性剤等各種のものを用いることができる。中でも、諸特性に悪影響を及ぼす可能性が低い点で、非イオン系界面活性剤を用いるのが好ましく、中でもフッ素系またはシリコン系の界面活性剤が塗布性の面で効果的である。
感光性樹脂組成物中の界面活性剤の含有割合は特に限定されないが、全固形分中0.01質量%以上であることが好ましく、0.05質量%以上であることがより好ましく、0.10質量%以上であることがさらに好ましく、また、1.0質量%以下であることが好ましく、0.7質量%以下であることがより好ましく、0.5質量%以下であることがさらに好ましく、0.3質量%以下であることが特に好ましい。界面活性剤の含有割合を前記下限値以上とすることでレジスト塗布均一性がよくなる傾向があり、また、前記上限値以下とすることでレジスト感度が下がらない傾向がある。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物には、分散性、保存性向上のため、顔料誘導体を含有させてもよい。顔料誘導体としてはアゾ系、フタロシアニン系、キナクリドン系、ベンズイミダゾロン系、キノフタロン系、イソインドリノン系、ジオキサジン系、アントラキノン系、インダンスレン系、ペリレン系、ペリノン系、ジケトピロロピロール系、ジオキサジン系等の誘導体が挙げられるが、中でもフタロシアニン系、キノフタロン系が好ましい。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物(以下、「レジスト」と称することがある。)は、常法に従って製造される。
通常、(d)色材は、予めペイントコンディショナー、サンドグラインダー、ボールミル、ロールミル、ストーンミル、ジェットミル、ホモジナイザー等を用いて分散処理するのが好ましい。分散処理により(d)色材が微粒子化されるため、レジストの塗布特性が向上する。また、(d)色材として黒色色材を使用した場合は遮光能力の向上に寄与する。
なお、感光性樹脂組成物に配合する全成分を含有する液に対して分散処理を行った場合、分散処理時に生じる発熱のため、高反応性の成分が変性する可能性がある。従って、高分子分散剤を含む系にて分散処理を行うことが好ましい。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物を硬化させることで、硬化物を得ることができる。感光性樹脂組成物を硬化してなる硬化物は、画素、ブラックマトリックスや着色スペーサーなどのカラーフィルターを構成する部材として好適に用いることができる。
次に、本発明の感光性樹脂組成物を用いたブラックマトリックスについて、その製造方法に従って説明する。
ブラックマトリックスを形成するための支持体としては、適度の強度があれば、その材質は特に限定されるものではない。おもに透明基板が使用されるが、材質としては、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどのポリエステル系樹脂、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンなどのポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ポリメチルメタクリレート、ポリスルフォンなどの熱可塑性樹脂製シート、エポキシ樹脂、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂、ポリ(メタ)アクリル系樹脂などの熱硬化性樹脂シート、又は各種ガラスなどが挙げられる。この中でも、耐熱性の観点からガラス、耐熱性樹脂が好ましい。また、基板の表面にITO、IZO等の透明電極が成膜されている場合もある。透明基板以外では、TFTアレイ上に形成することも可能である。
透明基板の厚さは、通常0.05~10mm、好ましくは0.1~7mmの範囲とされる。また各種樹脂の薄膜形成処理を行う場合、その膜厚は、通常0.01~10μm、好ましくは0.05~5μmの範囲である。
上述の本発明の感光性樹脂組成物により、本発明のブラックマトリックスを形成するには、透明基板上に本発明の感光性樹脂組成物を塗布して乾燥した後、塗膜の上にフォトマスクを置き、該フォトマスクを介して画像露光、現像、必要に応じて熱硬化或いは光硬化することによりブラックマトリックスを形成させる。
(3-1) 感光性樹脂組成物の塗布
ブラックマトリックス用の感光性樹脂組成物の透明基板上への塗布は、スピナー法、ワイヤーバー法、フローコート法、ダイコート法、ロールコート法、又はスプレーコート法などによって行うことができる。中でも、ダイコート法によれば、塗布液使用量が大幅に削減され、かつ、スピンコート法により行った際に付着するミストなどの影響が全くなく、異物発生が抑制されるなど、総合的な観点から好ましい。
基板に感光性樹脂組成物を塗布した後の塗膜の乾燥は、ホットプレート、IRオーブン、又はコンベクションオーブンを使用した乾燥法によるのが好ましい。乾燥の条件は、前記溶剤成分の種類、使用する乾燥機の性能などに応じて適宜選択することができる。乾燥時間は、溶剤成分の種類、使用する乾燥機の性能などに応じて、通常は、40~200℃の温度で15秒~5分間の範囲で選ばれ、好ましくは50~130℃の温度で30秒~3分間の範囲で選ばれる。
画像露光は、感光性樹脂組成物の塗膜上に、ネガのマスクパターンを重ね、このマスクパターンを介し、紫外域から可視域に至る波長の光を照射して行う。この際、必要に応じ、酸素による光重合性層の感度の低下を防ぐため、光重合性の塗膜上にポリビニルアルコール層などの酸素遮断層を形成した後に露光を行ってもよい。上記の画像露光に使用される光源は、特に限定されるものではない。光源としては、例えば、キセノンランプ、ハロゲンランプ、タングステンランプ、高圧水銀灯、超高圧水銀灯、メタルハライドランプ、中圧水銀灯、低圧水銀灯、カーボンアークなどのランプ光源などが挙げられる。特定の波長の光を照射して使用する場合には、光学フィルタを利用することもできる。
本発明に係るブラックマトリックスは、感光性樹脂組成物による塗膜を、上記の光源によって画像露光を行った後、有機溶剤、又は、界面活性剤とアルカリ性化合物とを含む水溶液を用いる現像によって、基板上に画像を形成して作製することができる。この水溶液には、更に有機溶剤、緩衝剤、錯化剤、染料又は顔料を含ませることができる。
現像処理の条件は特に制限はなく、通常、現像温度は10~50℃の範囲、中でも15~45℃、特に好ましくは20~40℃で、現像方法は、浸漬現像法、スプレー現像法、ブラシ現像法、超音波現像法などのいずれかの方法によることができる。
現像の後の基板には、熱硬化処理又は光硬化処理、好ましくは熱硬化処理を施す。この際の熱硬化処理条件は、温度は100~280℃の範囲、好ましくは150~250℃の範囲で選ばれ、時間は5~60分間の範囲で選ばれる。
以上のようにして形成させたブラックマトリックスの高さは通常0.5~5μm、好ましくは0.8~4μmである。
さらに、厚さ1μm当たりの光学濃度(OD)が3.0以上、好ましくは3.5以上、より好ましくは3.8以上、特に好ましくは4.0以上、最も好ましくは4.2以上である。
ブラックマトリックスを設けた透明基板上に、上記(3-1)~(3-5)と同じプロセスで赤色、緑色、青色のうち一色の色材を含有する感光性樹脂組成物を塗布し、乾燥した後、塗膜の上にフォトマスクを重ね、このフォトマスクを介して画像露光、現像、必要に応じて熱硬化又は光硬化により画素画像を形成させ、着色層を作製する。この操作を、赤色、緑色、青色の三色の感光性樹脂組成物についてそれぞれ行うことによって、カラーフィルター画像を形成することができる。これらの順番は上記に限定されるものではない。
本発明の感光性樹脂組成物は、ブラックマトリックス以外に着色スペーサー用のレジストとして使用することも可能である。スペーサーをTFT型LCDに使用する場合、TFTに入射する光によりスイッチング素子としてTFTが誤作動を起こすことがあり、着色スペーサーはこれを防止するために用いられ、例えば、日本国特開平8-234212号公報にスペーサーを遮光性とすることが記載されている。着色スペーサーは着色スペーサー用のマスクを用いる以外は前述のブラックマトリックスと同様の方法で形成することができる。
カラーフィルターは、このままの状態で画像上にITOなどの透明電極を形成して、カラーディスプレー、液晶表示装置などの部品の一部として使用されるが、表面平滑性や耐久性を高めるため、必要に応じ、画像上にポリアミド、ポリイミドなどのトップコート層を設けることもできる。また一部、平面配向型駆動方式(IPSモード)などの用途においては、透明電極を形成しないこともある。
本発明の画像表示装置は、本発明の感光性樹脂組成物を硬化させた硬化物を有する。画像表示装置としては、画像や映像を表示する装置であれば特に限定は受けないが、後述する液晶表示装置や有機ELディスプレイ等が挙げられる。
本発明の液晶表示装置は、上述の本発明のブラックマトリックス、カラーフィルター画素、着色スペーサー等の硬化物を有するものであり、カラー画素やブラックマトリックスの形成順序や形成位置等特に制限を受けるものではない。
周辺をシールされた液晶セルは、パネル単位に切断した後、真空チャンバー内で減圧とし、上記液晶注入口を液晶に浸漬した後、チャンバー内をリークすることによって、液晶を液晶セル内に注入する。液晶セル内の減圧度は、通常、1×10-2~1×10-7Paであるが、好ましくは1×10-3~1×10-6Paである。また、減圧時に液晶セルを加温するのが好ましく、加温温度は通常30~100℃であり、より好ましくは50~90℃である。減圧時の加温保持は、通常10~60分間の範囲とされ、その後液晶中に浸漬される。液晶を注入した液晶セルは、液晶注入口をUV硬化樹脂を硬化させて封止することによって、液晶表示装置(パネル)が完成する。
本発明の有機ELディスプレイは、本発明のカラーフィルターを用いて作製されたものである。
以下の組成及び方法で顔料、分散剤、分散助剤(顔料誘導体)、溶剤を調合し、カーボンブラックインクを調製した。
具体的にはまず、顔料、分散剤、分散助剤の固形分と溶剤が以下の量比となるように調合した。

次に、ペイントシェーカーにより25~45℃の範囲で6時間分散処理を行った。ビーズとしては、直径0.5mmのジルコニアビーズを用い、分散液60質量部に対しビーズ180質量部の割合で加えた。分散終了後、フィルターによりビーズと分散液を分離して、固形分35質量%のカーボンブラックインクを調製した。

(1)ブラックマトリックス(BM)細線パターンの作製
調製したブラックレジスト1~7をスピンコーターにてガラス基板に塗布し、減圧乾燥後、ホットプレートで90℃にて100秒間乾燥した。なお、それぞれ塗布膜厚が約1.2μmとなるように塗布条件を調整した。続いて、得られた乾燥塗布膜に対し、露光機(オーク製作所社製EXF-2829-F-00)を用いて、高圧水銀灯(オーク製作所社製ADH-3000M-F-N、光学フィルターなし)により35mJ/cm2で、開口幅1~10μm(1μm刻み)および15μmの直線状開口部を有する露光マスクを介してパターン露光(プロキシミティギャップ:180μm)を行った。その後、室温(23℃)下、超純水で0.04質量%に調製したKOH水溶液をアルカリ現像液として用いて溶解時間の2.2倍の時間、スプレー現像(スプレー圧力:0.1MPa)して、未露光部を除去した後、超純水でスプレー洗浄(スプレー圧力:0.1MPa)を行い、BM細線パターンを形成した。なお、溶解時間とは、現像処理時に未露光部のブラックレジスト膜が溶解して基板表面が見え始めるまでの時間であり、各々のブラックレジストの溶解時間は20~30秒の範囲であった。
作製した現像後のBM細線パターンに対して光学顕微鏡観察を行い、BM細線形成状態を確認し、細線密着と感度の評価を行った。結果を表3に示した。なお、細線密着と感度の評価は以下の基準にて行った。
BM細線は、アルカリ現像中にBM細線/ガラス基板の接着面が浸食されて差込みが発生し、細線密着性が悪くなる場合がある。光学顕微鏡により10μm以下のラインパターン部分を観察し、例えば、8μm以上のパターンが密着し7μm以下のパターンが剥離していた場合には、細線密着を8μmと評価し、以下の通り分類した(ここでは例えば、露光マスクの開口部の幅が7μmに対応するパターンを、7μmのパターンと記載している。)。なお、評価が「○」であれば細線密着性が良好であり、「◎」であればさらに良好であると評価でき、「×」は細線密着性が悪いと評価される。
◎:7μm以上のパターンの細線が密着している。
〇:8μm以上のパターンの細線が密着している(7μm以下のパターンは剥離)。
×:9μm以上のパターンの細線が密着している(8μm以下のパターンは剥離)。
ブラックレジストは感光性樹脂組成物としての露光感度が上がると、形成されるBM細線の線幅が増える傾向にある。光学顕微鏡により15μmのラインパターンの線幅を測長して、感度の判定を以下の通り分類した(ここで例えば、露光マスクの開口部の幅が15μmに対応するパターンを、15μmのパターンと記載している。)。なお、評価が「○」であれば感度が良好であると評価でき、「×」は感度が低いと評価される。
○:15μmのパターンの線幅が15μm以上。
×:15μmのパターンの線幅が15μm未満。
・感度に余裕がある分、光重合開始剤の減量が可能で、減量分をアルカリ可溶性樹脂や光重合性モノマーなどに置換えることで耐現像性や基板密着性等の性能向上に振り分けられること。
・目標線幅の形成に必要な露光量が下がる分、露光速度が増加できて生産性が向上する。一方、比較例1も高感度の結果であるが、BM内部の硬化は不十分であるため、光重合開始剤の減量や露光量の低減を行うと更なる細線密着悪化を引き起こす。
以上より、本発明の感光性樹脂組成物を用いることにより、高感度かつ細線密着性能に優れる感光性樹脂組成物が提供可能であることがわかる。
