Description

Dispersant composition, coloring composition and color filter
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a dispersant composition comprising a polymer.
Background
Conventionally, in the production of color filters used in liquid crystal displays and the like, methods for applying a coloring material to a substrate have been known, such as a dyeing method, a printing method, an ink-jet method, an electrodeposition method, a pigment dispersion method, and the like. Among them, the pigment dispersion method is the mainstream from the viewpoints of spectral characteristics, durability, pattern shape and accuracy. In this pigment dispersion method, a coating film formed of a coloring composition in which a pigment, a dispersant, a dispersion medium (solvent), a binder resin, and the like are mixed is formed on a substrate, and is cured by irradiation with radiation through a photomask having a desired pattern shape, followed by alkali development.
In recent years, in order to obtain a color filter having good color reproducibility and high contrast, it has been studied to increase the concentration of a pigment in a coloring composition. When the pigment is concentrated to a high concentration, the proportion of the dispersant is relatively reduced, and therefore, the dispersant is required to have high dispersibility (see, for example, paragraph 0004 of patent document 1). In addition, in the alkali development, a binder resin having alkali solubility plays a great role. However, in the case of a pigment dispersion composition in which the pigment is concentrated at a high concentration, the proportion of the binder resin as a developing component is reduced, and the alkali developability is lowered. Therefore, the dispersant is also required to have alkali developability which is originally required for the binder resin. As such a dispersant, patent document 2 describes that an a-B block copolymer composed of an a block having a polylactone chain in a side chain and a B block having a tertiary amine group in a side chain is used as a pigment dispersion (see paragraphs 0023 to 0045 of patent document 2).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In order to improve the dispersibility of a coloring material in a resin type dispersant, it has been proposed to introduce a tertiary amino group into a side chain (see patent document 2). However, it is considered that the resin-type dispersant having a tertiary amino group generates formaldehyde with the passage of time due to the tertiary amino group. Therefore, if such a resin-type dispersant is used in the coloring composition, formaldehyde becomes contained in the coloring composition. In recent years, as environmental standards have become more stringent, the amount of formaldehyde in a coloring composition will not meet environmental standards if conventional resin-type dispersants are used.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a dispersant composition which generates a small amount of formaldehyde with the lapse of time.
Means for solving the problems
The dispersant composition of the present invention, which can solve the above problems, is characterized by containing a polymer having a structure represented by the general formula (5) in a side chain.

It is considered that if a polymer having an amino group is used as a dispersant, formaldehyde is generated with the lapse of time due to the amino group. Surprisingly, in the present invention, by providing an amino group with a specific structure (a structure represented by the general formula (5)), formaldehyde generation with time can be suppressed, and formaldehyde in the dispersant composition can be reduced. Excellent dispersing properties of the coloring material can also be obtained.
The present invention also includes a coloring composition characterized by containing the above dispersant composition, a coloring material, a binder resin and a dispersion medium. The present invention also provides a color filter comprising a colored layer formed using the colored composition.
Effects of the invention
According to the present invention, a dispersant composition with a small formaldehyde generation amount over time can be obtained.

By setting the content of the structural unit derived from the (meth) acrylate having a lactone-modified hydroxyl group within the above range, the alkali developability of the block copolymer can be improved.
The a block preferably has a structural unit derived from a vinyl monomer having an acidic group (preferably, (meth) acrylate having an acidic group, (meth) acrylic acid). Having a structural unit derived from a vinyl monomer having an acidic group improves solubility in an alkali developing solution, and improves alkali developability. However, if the ratio is increased, the affinity with the solvent or the alkali-soluble resin may be decreased. Therefore, the proportion of the structural unit derived from the vinyl monomer having an acidic group is preferably set in such a manner that the acid value of the whole block copolymer is lower than the amine value.
When the structural unit derived from a vinyl monomer having an acidic group is contained, the content of the structural unit is preferably 2% by mass or more, and preferably 20% by mass or less, in 100% by mass of the a block. When the content of the structural unit derived from the vinyl monomer having an acidic group is 2% by mass or more, the dissolution rate in alkali neutralization is high in alkali development, and when the content is 20% by mass or less, the hydrophilicity is not excessively high, and the formation of disordered pixels can be suppressed.

The lower the content of the structural unit represented by the general formula (1) in the a block, the higher the dispersibility of the coloring material.
Preferably the a blocks do not have amino groups. That is, it is preferable that vinyl monomers having an amino group are not contained in the vinyl monomers constituting the a block. If a large amount of amino groups are present in the A block, the coloring material adsorbs to both the A block and the B block when used as a dispersant, and the dispersibility of the coloring material is lowered. The content of the structural unit derived from a vinyl monomer having an amino group (including the structural unit in which an amino group is quaternized) in the a block is preferably 3% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less, still more preferably 0.1% by mass or less, and most preferably 0% by mass.
When the a block contains two or more kinds of structural units, the various structural units contained in the a block may be contained in the a block in any form such as random copolymerization, block copolymerization, etc., and from the viewpoint of uniformity, the random copolymerization is preferably contained. For example, the a block may be formed from the following copolymers: the copolymer has a structural unit composed of an a1 block and a structural unit composed of an a2 block.

For example, the B block may be formed from a copolymer having structural units consisting of the B1 block and structural units consisting of the B2 block.
(Block copolymer)
The structure of the block copolymer is preferably a linear block copolymer. The linear block copolymer may have any structure (arrangement), but from the viewpoint of physical properties of the linear block copolymer or physical properties of the composition, when the A block is represented by A and the B block is represented by B, it is preferable to have a structure selected from (A-B)mType, (A-B)m-type A, (B-A)mA copolymer having at least 1 structure of type B (m is an integer of 1 or more, for example, an integer of 1 to 3). Among them, the A-B type diblock copolymer is preferable from the viewpoints of workability in processing and physical properties of the composition. It is considered that the a-B type diblock copolymer concentrates the structural unit derived from the (meth) acrylic acid based monomer in the a block and the structural unit represented by the general formula (1) in the B block, and thus can effectively act on the coloring material, the dispersion medium (solvent), and the binder resin (alkali-soluble resin) as needed. The block copolymer may also comprise blocks other than the a block and the B block.
The content of the a block is preferably 35% by mass or more, more preferably 40% by mass or more, further preferably 45% by mass or more, preferably 85% by mass or less, more preferably 80% by mass or less, further preferably 75% by mass or less, in 100% by mass of the entire block copolymer.

When the content of the A block and the B block is adjusted to fall within the above range, the dispersibility when used as a dispersant is further improved.
The mass ratio of the a block to the B block (a block/B block) in the block copolymer is preferably 50/50 or more, more preferably 55/45 or more, further preferably 60/40 or more, preferably 95/5 or less, more preferably 90/10 or less, and further preferably 80/20 or less. When the mass ratio of the A block to the B block is within the above range, the dispersibility when used as a dispersant is further improved.
When the block copolymer contains a structural unit having an acidic group, the content of the structural unit derived from a vinyl monomer having an acidic group in the block copolymer is preferably 1% by mass or more, and preferably 10% by mass or less.
The total content of the structural unit represented by the general formula (1) and the structural unit represented by the general formula (2) in the block copolymer is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 10% by mass or more, further preferably 20% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or less, more preferably 45% by mass or less, further preferably 40% by mass or less.
The molecular weight of the block copolymer is measured by a gel permeation chromatography (hereinafter referred to as "GPC") method. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the block copolymer is preferably 3,000 or more, more preferably 4,000 or more, further preferably 5,000 or more, particularly preferably 6,000 or more, preferably 40,000 or less, more preferably 30,000 or less, further preferably 25,000 or less, particularly preferably 20,000 or less. When the weight average molecular weight is within the above range, the dispersibility when used as a dispersant is further improved.
The molecular weight distribution (PDI) of the block copolymer is preferably 2.5 or less, more preferably 2.0 or less, and still more preferably 1.6 or less. In the present invention, the molecular weight distribution (PDI) is a value obtained from (the weight average molecular weight (Mw)) of the block copolymer/(the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the block copolymer). The smaller the PDI, the narrower the breadth of the molecular weight distribution, and the copolymer having a uniform molecular weight, and when this value is 1.0, the breadth of the molecular weight distribution is the narrowest. That is, the lower limit of the PDI is 1.0. When the molecular weight distribution (PDI) of the block copolymer exceeds 2.5, the block copolymer contains a copolymer having a small molecular weight or a copolymer having a large molecular weight.
From the viewpoint of adsorption to a coloring material and dispersibility of the coloring material, the amine value of the block copolymer is preferably 10mgKOH/g or more, more preferably 50mgKOH/g or more, further preferably 80mgKOH/g or more, preferably 200mgKOH/g or less, more preferably 150mgKOH/g or less, further preferably 120mgKOH/g or less.
When the block copolymer contains a structural unit having an acidic group, the acid value of the block copolymer is preferably 5mgKOH/g or more, and preferably 50mgKOH/g or less. By setting the acid value in this range, the binder resin (alkali-soluble resin) can be appropriately reacted without impairing the affinity of the block copolymer with the coloring material.
(method for producing Block copolymer)
The method for producing the block copolymer includes the following steps: a method of preparing a block A and polymerizing a monomer of a block B on the block A by a polymerization reaction of a vinyl monomer; a method of preparing a B block and then polymerizing a monomer of an A block on the B block; respectively preparing an A block and a B block, and then coupling the A block and the B block.
Although the polymerization method is not particularly limited, a living radical polymerization method is preferred. That is, the block copolymer is preferably a polymer polymerized by a living radical polymerization method. The conventional radical polymerization method tends to cause deactivation of the growing end not only in the initiation reaction and the growth reaction but also in the termination reaction and the chain transfer reaction, and to easily form a polymer mixture having various molecular weights and compositions. In contrast, the living radical polymerization method is preferable in terms of the ease and versatility of the conventional radical polymerization method, the difficulty of termination reaction and chain transfer, and the possibility of growth without deactivation of the growth terminal, and the ease of preparation of a polymer having a uniform composition by precisely controlling the molecular weight distribution.
In the living radical polymerization method, the following methods are used depending on the method for stabilizing the polymerization growth end: a method using a transition metal catalyst (ATRP method); a method using a sulfur-based reversible chain transfer agent (RAFT method); a method using an organotellurium compound (TERP method), and the like. Since the ATRP method uses an amine-based complex compound, the acidic group of the vinyl monomer having an acidic group may not be protected. When a plurality of monomers are used in the RAFT method, there are cases where it is difficult to form a low molecular weight distribution and there are problems such as sulfur odor and coloring. Among these methods, the TERP method is preferably used from the viewpoint of the diversity of monomers that can be used, the molecular weight control in the polymer region, the composition uniformity, or the coloring.
The TERP method is a method of polymerizing a radical polymerizable compound (vinyl monomer) using an organotellurium compound as a chain transfer agent, and is described in, for example, international publication No. 2004/14848, international publication No. 2004/14962, international publication No. 2004/072126, and international publication No. 2004/096870.

(b) A vinyl monomer is polymerized using a mixture of an organic tellurium compound represented by the general formula (3) and an azo polymerization initiator.

When the organic tellurium compound of the general formula (3) and the azo polymerization initiator are used together in the above (b), the azo polymerization initiator is preferably used in an amount of 0.01 to 10 moles per 1 mole of the organic tellurium compound of the general formula (3).

The reaction temperature and reaction time may be appropriately adjusted depending on the molecular weight or molecular weight distribution of the copolymer to be obtained, but the reaction is usually carried out at0 ℃ to 150 ℃ for 1 minute to 100 hours under stirring. The TERP process can achieve high yields and precise molecular weight distributions even at low polymerization temperatures and short polymerization times. At this time, the pressure is usually normal pressure, but may be increased or decreased.
After the polymerization reaction is completed, the target copolymer can be isolated by removing the solvent used, the residual vinyl monomer, and the like from the obtained reaction mixture by a usual separation and purification means.
The growing end of the copolymer obtained by polymerization is the-Ter from the tellurium compound31(in the formula, R31The same as above), although the tellurium atom is continuously deactivated by the operation in the air after the completion of the polymerization reaction, it may remain. Since a copolymer having tellurium atoms remaining at the terminal ends is colored or has poor thermal stability, it is preferable to remove the tellurium atoms.
As a method for removing tellurium atoms, the following methods can be used: a radical reduction method using tributylstannane, a thiol compound, or the like; adsorption method using active carbon, silica gel, active alumina, active white clay, molecular sieve and high molecular adsorbent; a method of adsorbing a metal with an ion exchange resin or the like; a liquid-liquid extraction method or a solid-liquid extraction method in which a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide or benzoyl peroxide is added or air or oxygen is blown into the system to oxidatively decompose tellurium atoms at the terminal of the copolymer, and the residual tellurium compound is removed by water washing or a suitable solvent; a method of purification in the state of a solution such as ultrafiltration, in which only substances having a molecular weight of not more than a specific molecular weight are extracted and removed. Further, these methods may be used in combination.
The other end (the end opposite to the growing end) of the copolymer obtained by the polymerization reaction is-CR derived from the tellurium compound32R33R34(in the formula, R32、R33And R34And R in the formula (3)32、R33And R34Same) of the two.

The quaternized structure has an alkyl group or an aralkyl group introduced thereto from the quaternizing agent. Therefore, the amount of the structural unit represented by the formula (2) can be estimated by measuring the amount of the alkyl group or aralkyl group introduced by the quaternary amination.
A method for quaternizing a part of the tertiary amine structure of the structural unit represented by the formula (1) in the polymer includes a method of contacting the polymer with a quaternizing agent. Specifically, a method in which a monomer composition containing a vinyl monomer capable of forming a structural unit represented by the formula (1) is polymerized, and then a quaternizing agent is added to the reaction solution and stirred can be exemplified. The temperature of the reaction solution to which the quaternizing agent is added is preferably 55 to 65 ℃ and the stirring time is preferably 5 to 20 hours. When the quaternizing agent is added, it is also preferable to dilute the reaction solution after the polymerization.

If the content of the crosslinking agent is too small, sufficient curability may not be obtained. On the other hand, if the amount of the crosslinking agent is too large, the alkali developability of the coloring composition of the present invention is lowered, and the base stain, film residue, and the like tend to occur easily on the substrate or the light-shielding layer in the unexposed portion.
(photopolymerization initiator)
The coloring composition may contain a photopolymerization initiator as needed. Thereby imparting radiation sensitivity to the color composition.

In this case, if the content of the photopolymerization initiator is too small, the exposure curing may be insufficient, and if the content is too large, the formed colored layer may be easily detached from the substrate during development.
(dispersing Medium)
The coloring composition contains a dispersion medium. The dispersion medium may be appropriately selected and used as long as it can disperse or dissolve the other components constituting the coloring composition, does not react with these components, and has appropriate volatility. For example, a conventionally known organic solvent can be used, and examples thereof include the organic solvents (dispersion media) usable in the dispersant composition. The organic solvent is preferably a glycol alkyl ether acetate, a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol, from the viewpoints of dispersibility of the pigment or the like, solubility of the dispersant, coatability of the pigment dispersion composition, and the like. The solvent contained in the pigment-dispersion composition may be only one kind or may be plural kinds.
When a pixel of a color filter is formed by photolithography, the boiling point of the dispersion medium (under the pressure of 1013.25hPa, hereinafter, the boiling point is all the same) is preferably 100 to 200 ℃. Among the above dispersion media, glycol alkyl ether acetates are preferable in terms of good balance of coatability, surface tension, and the like and relatively high solubility of the constituent components in the coloring composition. Furthermore, it is also preferable to use a dispersion medium having a boiling point of 150 ℃ or higher. By using a dispersion medium having a high boiling point, the destruction of the correlation of the coloring compositions due to the rapid drying of the coloring compositions can be suppressed. The dispersion medium having a boiling point of 150 ℃ or higher may be a glycol alkyl ether acetate. The content ratio of the dispersion medium having a boiling point of 150 ℃ or higher is preferably 3 to 50% by mass in 100% by mass of the entire dispersion medium.
The content of the dispersion medium in the coloring composition is not particularly limited and may be appropriately adjusted. The upper limit of the content of the dispersion medium in the coloring composition is usually 99% by mass. Further, the lower limit value of the content of the dispersion medium in the coloring composition is usually 70% by mass, preferably 80% by mass, in view of the viscosity suitable for coating the coloring composition. The dispersion medium can be used as a solvent for dissolving and removing the precipitate formed from the coloring composition.

< method for producing coloring composition >
The coloring composition can be prepared by mixing a coloring material, a dispersant composition, a binder resin, a dispersion medium, and a crosslinking agent, a photopolymerization initiator, and other additives, if necessary. For example, a paint mixer, a bead mill, a ball mill, a dissolver, a kneader, or the like can be used for mixing. The colouring composition is preferably filtered after mixing. Since the coloring composition has alkali developability, it can be suitably used for a color filter.
Further, a coloring material surface-treated in advance with the dispersant composition of the present invention may also be used. The surface treatment method may use the following method: a dry method in which a coloring material is stirred with a Henschel mixer, a ball mill, an atomizing colloid mill, a Banbury mixer, or the like while a dispersant is added; and a wet method of removing the solvent after treatment in the solvent. By surface-treating with the dispersant composition of the present invention in this way, the dispersibility of the coloring material can be improved and aggregation can be prevented.
< color Filter >
The color filter of the present invention includes a colored layer formed using the colored composition.
Examples of the method for producing a color filter include the following methods. First, a thermoplastic resin sheet such as a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin, a polycarbonate resin, or a polymethyl methacrylate resin; thermosetting resin sheets such as epoxy resins, unsaturated polyester resins, and poly (meth) acrylic resins; a transparent substrate such as various kinds of glass is provided with color pixels for allowing light of three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to pass therethrough, and preferably with a black matrix formed of the above-described colored composition. As a method for producing a color filter, a black colored composition is applied, and then soft baking (pre-cake) is performed to evaporate a solvent (dispersion medium) to form a coating film. Next, the coating film is exposed through a photomask, and then developed with an alkali developing solution (an aqueous solution containing an organic solvent, a surfactant, and an alkaline compound) to dissolve and remove the unexposed portion of the coating film, thereby forming a black pattern (black matrix). Then, after hard-baking (post-bake) as necessary, the same operation is sequentially repeated for red (R), green (G), and blue (B), thereby obtaining a color filter in which a red, green, and blue three-primary-color pixel array is arranged on a substrate. However, the order of forming each color pixel in the present invention is not limited to the above order.
When the coloring composition is applied to the substrate, an appropriate coating method such as a spray coating method, a roll coating method, a spin coating method, a slit die coating method, a bar coating method, or the like can be used, but the spin coating method and the slit die coating method are particularly preferably used.
After a protective film is formed as necessary on the pixel pattern obtained in this way, a transparent conductive film (indium tin oxide (ITO) or the like) is formed by sputtering. After the transparent conductive film is formed, a partition plate can be further formed to manufacture a color filter.
The color filter of the present invention has high dimensional accuracy and can be suitably used for color liquid crystal display elements, color camera tube elements, color sensors, organic EL display elements, electronic paper, and the like.
Further, since the coloring composition has a low viscosity and is excellent in dispersibility of the coloring material, it can be suitably used as a colored pillar spacer supported on a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) substrate and a color filter substrate sandwiching a liquid crystal layer. For example, a composition having a high Optical Density (OD) as described in Japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2015-191234 can be mentioned.
