When the amount of the resin in the photosensitive green resin composition or the photosensitive liquid for forming a green image is too small, the dispersion stability of the pigment tends to decrease. When the amount is too large, the viscosity of the photosensitive liquid becomes high. There is a tendency that the coatability, particularly the coatability during spin coating, decreases.

When the amount of the pigment is too small, the color density of the image tends to decrease, and when the amount is too large, the light sensitivity tends to decrease.

If the amount of the monomer having one or more photopolymerizable unsaturated bonds in the molecule is too small, the photosensitivity tends to decrease, and if the amount is too large, the dispersion stability of the pigment tends to decrease.

Further, when the amount of the photoinitiator is too small, the photosensitivity tends to decrease, and when the amount is too large, the adhesiveness tends to decrease.

Preferably, it is used so as to fall within the range. If the total solid content exceeds 40% by weight, the viscosity tends to be high and the applicability tends to be poor. If the total solid content is less than 5% by weight, the viscosity tends to be low and the applicability tends to be poor.

Next, a method for producing the green resin composition, the photosensitive green resin composition and the photosensitive liquid for forming a green image used in the present invention will be described.

The pigment is mixed and dispersed with a resin, an organic solvent and, if necessary, a dispersant. At this time, the mixture is preferably subjected to dispersion treatment by kneading using a dispersing / kneading apparatus such as an ultrasonic dispersing machine, a three-roll mill, a ball mill, a sand mill, a bead mill, a homogenizer, and a kneader. At this time, it is preferable to use at least 20 parts by weight of the resin with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pigment. If the amount of the resin is too small, the dispersion stability of the pigment tends to decrease.
It is preferable to use at least 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent at the time of dispersion with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pigment and the resin at the time of dispersion. If it is less than 100 parts by weight, the viscosity at the time of dispersion is too high, and dispersion may be difficult particularly when the dispersion is carried out by a ball mill, a sand mill, a bead mill or the like. As described above, a green resin composition can be produced.

In order to obtain a photosensitive green resin composition and a photosensitive liquid for forming a green image, a monomer having at least one photopolymerizable unsaturated bond in a molecule and a photoinitiator are further mixed. Mixing may be performed before the dispersion treatment, or may be performed after the dispersion treatment. The whole amount of the resin may not be used at the time of the dispersion, and the remainder may be mixed later, particularly at the time of manufacturing the green image forming photosensitive liquid.

The amount of each component used is adjusted from the time of manufacture of the green resin composition so that it finally becomes the compounding ratio in the photosensitive green resin composition and the photosensitive liquid for forming a green image.

Examples of the dispersant include anionic dispersants such as polycarboxylic acid type polymer surfactants and polysulfonic acid type polymer surfactants; nonionic dispersants such as polyoxyethylene / polyoxypropylene block polymers; An organic dye derivative such as an anthraquinone-based, perylene-based, phthalocyanine-based, or quinacdrine-based organic dye into which a substituent such as a carboxyl group, a sulfonate group, a carboxylic acid amide group, or a hydroxyl group is introduced. It is preferable because the dispersibility and dispersion stability of the pigment are improved. The content of the pigment dispersant and the derivative of the organic dye is preferably 50 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of the pigment. If it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the chromaticity tends to shift.

In the above-mentioned dispersion treatment, the entire amount of the resin may be used together with the pigment at the time of the dispersion treatment, or a part of the resin may be added after the dispersion treatment. However, it is preferable to use at least 20 parts by weight of the resin for 100 parts by weight of the pigment during the dispersion treatment. If it is less than 20 parts by weight, the dispersion stability of the pigment tends to decrease.

Similarly, the entire amount of the organic solvent may be used together with the pigment at the time of the dispersion treatment, or a part of the organic solvent may be added after the dispersion treatment. However, it is preferable to use at least 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent at the time of the dispersion treatment, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the pigment and the resin at the time of the dispersion treatment. 100
If the amount is less than the weight part, the viscosity at the time of the dispersion treatment is too high, and particularly when the dispersion is performed by a ball mill, a sand mill, a bead mill or the like, there is a possibility that the dispersion becomes difficult.

For laminating a photosensitive layer on a substrate using a colored image forming material, a colored image forming photosensitive liquid is directly applied to a substrate, or the photosensitive liquid is once applied to a support to form a film. And lamination on a substrate.

The above-mentioned substrate is selected depending on the application. For example, a transparent glass substrate such as white plate glass, blue plate glass, silica-coated blue plate glass or the like, or a synthetic resin such as polyester resin, polycarbonate resin, acrylic resin, vinyl chloride resin or the like is used. Examples include a sheet, a film or a plate, a metal substrate such as an aluminum plate, a copper plate, a nickel plate, and a stainless plate, other ceramic plates, and a semiconductor substrate having a photoelectric conversion element. On these substrates, a black matrix may be formed in advance by chromium evaporation or the like.

The method of applying the photosensitive liquid to the substrate includes roll coater application, spin coater application, spray application, whey coater application, dip coater application, curtain flow coater application, wire bar coater application, gravure coater application, air knife coater application, etc. There is.

After coating, the temperature is usually 1 to 50 ° C. to 130 ° C.
It is preferable to obtain a film by drying for up to 30 minutes. Thus, a film composed of the colored image forming material can be obtained.

The thickness of the photosensitive layer formed in this manner is appropriately determined depending on the application, but is usually 0.1 to 300.
It is preferably used in the range of μm. When used for a color filter, the thickness is preferably in the range of 0.2 to 5 μm.

A photosensitive layer can be formed on a support in the same manner as described above. In order to laminate this photosensitive layer on the substrate, it is preferable that the film is superposed on the substrate and pressure-bonded through a roller under reduced pressure. The support is preferably peeled off after the photosensitive layer is laminated on the substrate. As the support, a polyethylene film, an acrylic resin film, a polyester film, or the like can be used.

The exposure of the photosensitive layer laminated on the substrate can be carried out by irradiating the photosensitive layer with actinic rays in an image-like manner. Thereby, the film in the exposed portion can be cured. At the time of exposure, an oxygen barrier film such as polyvinyl alcohol may be formed on the surface of the film with a thickness of 0.5 to 30 μm, and the film may be exposed from above.

As the light source of the actinic ray, for example, a carbon arc lamp, an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, a high pressure mercury lamp, a xenon lamp, a metal halide lamp, a fluorescent lamp, a tungsten lamp, a visible light laser and the like are preferable. Using these light sources, actinic rays are irradiated imagewise by pattern exposure through a photomask, direct drawing by scanning, or the like.
