Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、カラーフィルター用レジスト材料及びカラーフィルターに関するものである。詳しくは、カラーフィルターの着色硬化膜を形成する塗膜形成材料とこれを用いて得られるカラーフィルターに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
カラー液晶表示装置に使われるカラーフィルターは、感光性樹脂に光重合開始剤や各種添加剤と赤色(R)、緑色(G)、青色(B)の各着色剤を加えた後、溶剤によってこれら樹脂成分等の濃度等を調整したカラーレジストを塗布、乾燥後、一連の工程によりパターンをフォトリソ法などで形成したものが知られている。その際、塗布工程に於いては一般にスピンコーター、スリット&スピンコーター、スリットコーター、ロールコーター、バーコーターなどによる塗工が行われ、均一な塗布板を得ており、これを真空乾燥もしくは加熱乾燥により塗布膜を作成している。この時、塗布膜の面内に於いて塗布ムラに伴う色調ムラの発生はカラーフィルターの欠陥となる。
【0003】
カラーフィルターは、通常スピンコーター、スリット&スピンコーター、スリットコーター、ロールコーター、バーコーター等の塗布装置を用いて塗布されたのち、溶剤を除くためにオーブンやホットプレートで加熱乾燥するか、減圧乾燥装置で減圧乾燥を行い、均一な塗膜を形成した後パターンを露光、現像する。この乾燥工程の際、オーブンやホットプレートを使用する場合には、均一な加熱が行なわれず熱ムラが発生する。その結果、カラーフィルターの表示領域に雲状のムラが発生し、表示品位を落とす。一方、減圧乾燥による場合は急激な溶剤の揮発により蒸発ムラが発生し、オーブンやホットプレートを用いた場合と同様、カラーフィルターの表示領域に雲状のムラが発生する。そして、この雲状のムラは最終硬化工程後も存続する。
【0004】
このような塗布ムラの発生傾向は、単一の溶剤を用いた場合に特に顕著である。そこで、従来より、塗布性を向上させるため高沸点の溶剤との併用が行われてきている。これは溶剤の蒸発速度を緩慢にして表面部分のみが先に乾燥する「革張り」と呼ばれる状態を回避し、全体的に均一に乾燥膜が形成されるようにする手段である。しかしながら、高沸点溶剤を併用した場合には、乾燥時間が長くなるほか、乾燥膜表面にタックが残りやすくなり、その結果、異物も付着しやすい。例えば、スピンコートによる保護膜膜厚の不均一性を防止するため、高沸点の溶剤を用いて、塗布時の溶剤蒸発を抑制する方法が、特許文献1に提案されている。しかし、この方法は沸点190℃以上の溶剤を全溶剤の30〜60重量%含むため、真空乾燥時の乾燥時間が長くなるほか、膜表面にタックが残りやすくなり、その結果、異物も付着しやすいという欠点を有する。
【0005】
一方、一般に、塗布性の向上のためには界面活性剤の添加が有効であることが知られている。界面活性剤は、乾燥時に生じる「ベナードセル」などの蒸発ムラを防止するために添加される。すなわち、これは表面張力を低い値で安定させることで溶剤蒸発時に発生する膜内の表面張力の変化を防止して「ベナードセル」などを発生し難くするものである。しかしながら、表面張力の低下はスピンコート時のガラス基板周辺部におけるレジスト液の戻りが生じ易く、塗布ムラとレジスト液の戻り幅のバランスをとり難いという問題がある。このような事情から、カラーフィルター用レジスト材料として、膜内の表面張力を極端に低下させず、均一に維持する手法が望まれていた。
【0006】
なお、エポキシ(メタ)アクリレート化合物等の光重合性化合物、光重合開始剤、着色剤を主成分とする材料を溶剤に溶解してなるカラーフィルター用レジスト材料は、特許文献2等において知られている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】

【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上述の問題点を解決すべく鋭意検討を行った結果、カラーフィルター用レジスト材料に使用する溶剤として、2種以上の溶剤を用い、その表面張力に注目し、これを制御することで塗布ムラ、塗布性が改善され、色調ムラが解消されたカラーフィルター硬化膜を形成し得ることを見出し本発明を完成した。
【0009】
すなわち、本発明は、エポキシ(メタ)アクリレート化合物(A1)を必須成分とする光重合性化合物(A)、光重合開始剤(B)、着色剤(C)を主成分とする樹脂成分等を溶剤(D)に溶解してなるカラーフィルター用レジスト材料において、溶剤(D)は沸点の異なる2種以上の有機溶剤を含み、かつ溶剤中に1wt%以上含まれる有機溶剤の内、表面張力値が最大の有機溶剤と表面張力値が最小の有機溶剤の表面張力値の差が3dyn/cm以内であることを特徴とするカラーフィルター用レジスト材料である。
【0010】

【0031】
本発明のカラーフィルター用レジスト材料には、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲であれば、他の成分を含有してもよい。例えば、濡れ性の向上のためには界面活性剤が、密着性向上のためにはカップリング剤が好ましく使用される。この場合、界面活性剤は0.01〜0.2重量%の範囲で含有させることが好ましい。
【0032】
【実施例】
以下、実施例により本発明を、更に詳しく説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。なお、実施例中、別段の断りがない限り、部は重量部を表し、%は重量%を表す。また、カラーフィルターレジスト膜の作成及び塗布ムラの評価は別段の断りがない限り、以下の方法による。

[カラーレジスト膜の作成]
ポストベーク後の膜厚が1.5±0.05μmとなるスピンコート条件でカラーフィルター用レジスト膜用材料を、SiOをコーティングしたガラス基板に塗布し、プレベーク80℃,3分で溶剤を蒸発し、カラーフィルター用レジスト膜を作成した(表1中、塗布ムラ評価▲2▼80℃乾燥の結果参照)。一方、減圧乾燥を模式して実施する場合は、同様にガラス基板にスピンコート塗布したのち、23℃のクリーンルーム内でガラス基板の四隅を支持して約1cm浮かせて固定し30分放置により溶剤をゆっくり蒸発させカラーフィルター用レジスト膜を作成した(表1中、塗布ムラ評価▲1▼23℃乾燥の結果参照)。更にこれを230℃で20分硬化処理を行い、硬化レジスト膜を作成した(表1中、塗布ムラ評価▲3▼硬化後の結果参照)。
【0034】
[塗布ムラの評価]
上記カラーレジスト膜の作成方法に従って形成したガラス基板上のカラーフィルター用レジスト膜(1.5±0.05μm)を、ナトリウムランプ光源下で目視により観察し、塗布ムラを評価した。塗膜にムラの無い状態を◎、ムラの有る状態を×、ムラは目視で確認できるが実用性に問題のない軽微な状態を○、として3段階で評価した。
【0035】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a color filter resist material and a color filter. More specifically, the present invention relates to a coating film forming material for forming a colored cured film of a color filter and a color filter obtained using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A color filter used in a color liquid crystal display device is prepared by adding a photopolymerization initiator and various additives and each colorant of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to a photosensitive resin, and then adding a solvent to the resin. It is known that a color resist in which the concentration of a resin component or the like is adjusted is applied and dried, and then a pattern is formed by a series of steps by a photolithography method or the like. At that time, in the coating process, coating is generally performed by a spin coater, slit & spin coater, slit coater, roll coater, bar coater, etc., and a uniform coated plate is obtained, which is vacuum dried or heat dried To form a coating film. At this time, the occurrence of uneven color tone due to the uneven coating in the surface of the coating film causes a defect of the color filter.
[0003]
The color filter is usually applied using a coating device such as a spin coater, slit & spin coater, slit coater, roll coater, bar coater, etc., and then heat dried in an oven or hot plate to remove the solvent, or dried under reduced pressure. After drying under reduced pressure with an apparatus to form a uniform coating film, the pattern is exposed and developed. In the case of using an oven or a hot plate during this drying step, uniform heating is not performed and heat unevenness occurs. As a result, cloud-like unevenness occurs in the display area of the color filter, deteriorating the display quality. On the other hand, in the case of drying under reduced pressure, evaporation unevenness occurs due to rapid evaporation of the solvent, and cloud-like unevenness occurs in the display area of the color filter as in the case of using an oven or a hot plate. The cloud-like unevenness persists after the final curing step.
[0004]
Such a tendency of application unevenness is particularly remarkable when a single solvent is used. Therefore, conventionally, a combination with a solvent having a high boiling point has been used in order to improve coatability. This is a means for slowing down the evaporation rate of the solvent to avoid a state called "leathering" in which only the surface portion is dried first, and to form a uniformly dried film as a whole. However, when a high boiling point solvent is used in combination, the drying time is prolonged, and tack tends to remain on the surface of the dried film, and as a result, foreign matter is also likely to adhere. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a method of using a solvent having a high boiling point to suppress solvent evaporation during coating in order to prevent nonuniformity of the protective film thickness due to spin coating. However, this method contains a solvent having a boiling point of 190 ° C. or more in an amount of 30 to 60% by weight of the total solvent, so that the drying time in vacuum drying is prolonged, and the tack tends to remain on the film surface. It has the disadvantage of being easy.
[0005]
On the other hand, it is generally known that the addition of a surfactant is effective for improving coatability. The surfactant is added in order to prevent uneven evaporation such as “Benard Cell” generated during drying. That is, by stabilizing the surface tension at a low value, it is possible to prevent a change in the surface tension in the film which occurs at the time of evaporation of the solvent, thereby making it difficult to generate a "Benard cell" or the like. However, a decrease in the surface tension tends to cause the return of the resist liquid in the peripheral portion of the glass substrate during spin coating, and there is a problem that it is difficult to balance application unevenness and the return width of the resist liquid. Under such circumstances, as a resist material for a color filter, there has been a demand for a method of keeping the surface tension in a film uniform without extremely lowering it.
[0006]
In addition, a resist material for a color filter obtained by dissolving a photopolymerizable compound such as an epoxy (meth) acrylate compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a material mainly containing a colorant in a solvent is known in Patent Document 2 and the like. I have.

[Creation of color resist film]
A material for a resist film for a color filter is applied to a glass substrate coated with SiO 2 under spin coating conditions so that the film thickness after post-baking is 1.5 ± 0.05 μm, and the solvent is evaporated at 80 ° C. for 3 minutes in pre-baking. Then, a resist film for a color filter was prepared (see Table 2). On the other hand, when the drying under reduced pressure is carried out schematically, the glass substrate is spin-coated in the same manner, and the four corners of the glass substrate are supported and fixed in a clean room at 23 ° C. by floating about 1 cm, and the solvent is left for 30 minutes. The resist film was slowly evaporated to form a resist film for a color filter (see Table 1 for evaluation of coating unevenness {1} drying at 23 ° C.). Further, this was subjected to a curing treatment at 230 ° C. for 20 minutes to form a cured resist film (see Table 3, Evaluation of coating unevenness (3) Result after curing).
[0034]
[Evaluation of coating unevenness]
The color filter resist film (1.5 ± 0.05 μm) formed on the glass substrate according to the above-described method for forming a color resist film was visually observed under a sodium lamp light source to evaluate uneven coating. The state where there was no unevenness in the coating film was evaluated as ◎, the state where there was unevenness was evaluated as x, and the unevenness which could be visually confirmed, but was a slight state which had no problem in practicality was evaluated as ○, and evaluated in three levels.
[0035]
[Other performance evaluations]
A heat resistance test is a test in which a color filter that has undergone a series of processes from coating and exposure to curing is put into a 250 ° C. oven for 1 hour to measure a change in color. Further, a test for measuring a change in hue after immersing the same color filter in a 5% NaOH aqueous solution at 25 ° C. for 10 minutes was defined as an alkali resistance test.
In both cases, ΔE was 3 or less, and the evaluation was good. (See other performance results in Table 1).
