Technical Field
The invention relates to an alkali-soluble resin, a photosensitive resin composition, a cured product and an image display device.
Background
In a liquid crystal display element, a Photo-Spacer or a Photo Spacer, also called "gap control material", "Photo-resist Spacer", or the like, is used to maintain the thickness of a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a color filter side substrate and a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) side substrate.
The photolithographic spacers are generally formed by the following method: the photosensitive resin composition is applied to a substrate, and after drying, is exposed to light through a photomask having a specific fine pattern and developed.
In recent years, with the higher functionality of image display devices such as liquid crystal display devices (for example, 3D stereoscopic vision, view angle expansion, etc.), the thickness of photolithographic spacers has been required to be thicker (10 μm or more).
For example, patent document 1 aims to provide a negative photosensitive resin composition capable of forming a fine photolithographic spacer excellent in development adhesion and resolution and good in shape even when thick film processing with a film thickness of 10 μm or more is performed, and proposes a negative photosensitive resin composition comprising (a) an alkali-soluble resin, (B) a photo radical polymerization initiator, and (C) a photo polymerizable monomer comprising (C-1) a photo polymerizable monomer having an isocyanuric acid skeleton and (C-2) a photo polymerizable monomer having a fluorene skeleton.
Further, an object of patent document 2 is to provide a photosensitive resin composition which can form a gap of 10 μm or more, has good adhesion to a substrate, and can ensure transparency after exposure, and in which a photosensitive resin composition is proposed which is used as a spacer forming material, and contains the following components: the adhesive composition comprises (A) an adhesive polymer, (B) a photopolymerizable compound, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, and (D) a mercapto-containing hydrogen donor, wherein the (B) a photopolymerizable compound comprises a photopolymerizable compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group and an isocyanuric acid ring structure.

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved
However, the photosensitive resin composition described in patent document 1 or 2 has room for improvement in development adhesion and resolution when the photolithographic spacer is thickened. Further, although there is a need for a photosensitive resin composition that can be developed using a relatively dilute aqueous solution that is weakly alkaline from an environmental point of view, there is a concern that the photosensitive resin composition described in patent document 1 or 2 may have a problem in that the development time becomes long and productivity is lowered when developed using a weakly alkaline aqueous solution.

Advantageous effects
The alkali-soluble resin A or B of the present invention is characterized by having the following structure: comprises one or more repeating structural units X or X ' represented by the general formula (1) or (1 '), wherein the length of a side chain in the repeating structural units X or X ' is a length of a certain length or more, and the terminal of the side chain has a carboxyl group. The alkali-soluble resin a or B of the present invention has such a characteristic structure, and thus a cured film excellent in development adhesion and resolution can be obtained even in the case of thickening. In addition, the alkali-soluble resin A or B of the present invention has a group R bonded to the linking group 2 Hydroxyl group of carbon atom of (2)Or organic groups, and may thus in turn have properties derived from these groups. In addition, since the photosensitive resin composition containing the alkali-soluble resin a and/or B of the present invention can be developed in a short time even when a weakly alkaline developer is used, productivity of a cured product such as a photo-etching spacer can be improved. In particular, at said R 4 In the case of an organic group, the alkali-soluble resin a or B of the present invention has a branched structure of a side chain, and therefore, even in the case of thickening, a cured film excellent in development adhesion and resolution can be obtained. For this reason, although not being bound by theory, it is thought that the reason is that R is due to 3 Or R is 3 The terminal carboxyl group tends to face the main chain because of the 'long length (large number of atoms)' and the number of carboxyl groups which can participate in adhesion to the substrate increases. Further, it is thought that this is because, in R 4 In the case of an organic group, the side chain of the alkali-soluble resin A or B is branched, so that R 3 Or R is 3 The carboxyl group at the terminal of the' terminal is more likely to face the main chain, and the number of carboxyl groups involved in adhesion to the substrate increases.
