[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a visible light curable resin composition containing a pyrrole compound photosensitizer having a specific structure and used for a specific safety light.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the field of information using a photopolymerization reaction or image recording, instead of a conventional recording method using ultraviolet light using a film original or the like, a manuscript electronically edited by a computer is directly output at a high output. A method of directly outputting and recording using a laser is being studied. This method has the advantage that the recording and image forming steps can be greatly simplified by direct writing with a laser.

At present, many high-power and stable laser light sources generally used have an output wavelength in the visible region. Specifically, the wavelength 488 nm and 51
Argon laser with stable oscillation line at 4.5 nm or YAG with emission line at 532 nm as second harmonic
Lasers and the like are widely used. Therefore, compounds having high sensitivity to these wavelengths have been desired, but conventionally used ultraviolet light-sensitive agents cannot be used due to low sensitivity in the visible region. Although the addition of a pyrylium salt or a thiopyrylium salt can improve the sensitivity in the visible region, the storage stability of the photosensitive layer is low and it has been difficult to use the photosensitive layer.

As compounds having photosensitivity in the visible region,
For example, 7-diethylamino-3-benzothiazoylcoumarin (common name: coumarin-6) or bis [3
-(7-diethylaminocoumaryl)] ketone (common name:
Ketocoumarin) is known, but since these have a maximum absorption wavelength of about 450 nm, they have a shorter wavelength than 488 nm of an argon laser and have insufficient sensitivity. Also, 4-substituted-3 described in JP-A-4-18088.
-The benzothiazoyl coumarin compound shows high photosensitivity at 488 nm of an argon laser, but is 514.5.
532 which is the second harmonic of nm or YAG laser
nm has almost no absorption, leaving room for improvement in sensitivity.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-5885 describes a photocurable composition containing a sensitizer containing a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic residue. No effect is described.

When the visible light curable resin composition to be cured with visible light as described above is used, a dark red colorant is coated on the outer tube or a dark red film is coated on the outer tube. Electric lights such as fluorescent lamps that are colored by being wound are used as safety lights (working lights). However, under such a dark red safety light environment, it is not easy to inspect the state of the coating film after application, and it is not easy to inspect the coating device, irradiation device, transport device, etc. There is a problem that work efficiency, product quality stability and the like are inferior. When a non-colored fluorescent lamp is used as a safety light, the working environment is bright and there is no problem.

[0007]

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a curable resin composition having excellent curability with respect to visible light, and the safe light used in the present invention is applied to the visible light curable resin composition of the present invention. In addition to safety light that does not cause a curing reaction, the safety light to be used is a region with high relative luminous efficiency of human beings, so it feels very bright at the same illumination light intensity compared to conventional ones, so that safety workability, It has excellent effects on work efficiency, product quality stability, etc.

In the present invention, the term "composition for visible light curable material" refers to, for example, paints, inks, adhesives, printing materials, resist materials, and non-photosensitive films formed from these materials. Is what it means.

Conventionally, the safety light used is a fluorescent lamp colored red, but the emission spectrum of the fluorescent lamp has a wide wavelength range from ultraviolet light to visible light (FIG. 5). It hardens even the visible light-curable resin coating part that requires it, and it becomes impossible to form a clear resist pattern by the development process. For this reason, the working environment is further darkened because the intensity of the illumination light is reduced. There is such a problem. On the other hand, the above problem is solved because the safety light used in the present invention has a sharp wavelength like a sodium lamp, for example.

That is, the safety light used in the present invention is 50
It is a visible light with a large relative luminous efficiency having a maximum wavelength selected from the range of 0 to 620 nm, preferably 510 to 600 nm. This safety light can be obtained, for example, by using a discharge lamp that emits a light beam having a maximum wavelength in the above range by discharging in a gas such as sodium. Among these, sodium lamps mainly emit yellow D-rays with a wavelength of 589 nm from the lamps, and since they are monochromatic light, there are few chromatic aberrations, and objects can be seen sharply, so safety, work environment, etc. Excellent. FIG. 1 shows a spectral distribution diagram of the low-pressure sodium lamp.
As shown in the sodium lamp spectral distribution diagram, in addition to the D line which is the maximum wavelength of the sodium lamp, it has a high energy wavelength component (low wavelength region) to such an extent that the visible light curable resin composition is not adversely affected. It does not matter.

Further, a filter obtained by filtering a high-energy wavelength component other than the D-line by applying a filter to a sodium lamp can also be used as safety light. FIG. 2 shows the spectral distribution of the sodium lamp from which high-energy wavelength components have been cut in this way. Examples of the filter include “Fantac FD-1081 Scarlet” and “Fantac FC-1431 Sunflower”
Yellow (trade name, manufactured by Kansai Paint Co., Ltd.), Lintec Lumicool Film No. 190
5 "(trade name, manufactured by Lintec Corporation).

As the safety light used in the present invention, it is preferable to use a sharp single light color having a light ray of 589 nm like a sodium lamp. A safe light having wavelength components distributed in the wavelength range of the visible light region and the infrared light region other than the above-mentioned range may be used. However, when using safety light having such a distributed wavelength component, the distributed wavelength component must be a safe light region that does not adversely affect (photosensitize) the visible light curable resin composition. is necessary.

Such a safe high-energy light wavelength region (low-wavelength region) relates to the energy intensity of the distributed light beam and the absorbance of the visible light curable resin composition in that region. Can be used when the composition has a small absorbance, and when the energy intensity of the light beam is small, the composition can have a relatively large absorbance than the former. It can have a high-energy light wavelength region to the extent that it does not adversely affect it. However, even if a normal fluorescent lamp having a maximum wavelength in the range of 500 to 620 nm is used as the safety light, the fluorescent light is 500 n
Since it has a large light energy intensity of less than m, particularly 400 to 499 nm, it cannot be used as a safe light of a visible light curable resin composition which is exposed to a visible light laser having an oscillation line at 488 nm or 532 nm.

The absorbance defined in the present invention is -log (I
/ I ₀ ). Here, I is the intensity of transmitted light of the coating obtained by applying the visible light curable resin composition on the surface of the transparent substrate and drying (removing the solvent), and I ₀ is a blank [sample (visible light curable resin composition) ) Is applied to a transparent substrate (eg, a polyethylene terephthalate sheet)].

How bright light is perceived by human eyes can be represented by relative luminous efficiency. The relative luminous efficiency is JI
As defined in SZ8113, 2005, under certain observation conditions, when it is determined that the monochromatic radiation of a certain wavelength λ has the same brightness as the radiation used as a reference for comparison, the monochromatic radiation of a wavelength λ is determined. It is defined as a value obtained by normalizing the reciprocal of the relative value of the radiance, usually, the maximum value when λ is changed to 1. FIG. 3 shows a relative luminous efficiency curve of 380 to 780 nm, which is a wavelength region of visible light. In FIG. 3, the vertical axis represents the ratio, with the maximum value of the relative luminous efficiency set to 100. From this curve, the conventional red wavelength range of 640 to
At 780 nm, the relative luminous efficiency is low, and it is perceived as dark by human eyes. For example, it can be seen that the radiation intensity must be further increased in order to feel the same brightness as the wavelength of 589 nm. The maximum value of the visibility is about 555 nm (JI
S-Z8113 2008).

Comparative Example 61 An electrodeposition coated photosensitive layer was prepared in the same manner as in Example 61 except that a fluorescent lamp was used instead of the sodium lamp. Further, the obtained photosensitive layer was immersed in a 2.38% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide in the same manner as in Example 61. As a result, the resist film was not dissolved in the aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and was poor.

FIG. 5 shows the spectral distribution of the fluorescent lamps used in Comparative Examples 1 to 61.
