Description

  The present invention relates to a colored composition for a color filter, a color filter using the colored composition for a color filter, and a liquid crystal display device including the color filter. Specifically, for color filters that have excellent dissolution stability during development and have no problem of resist remaining in the non-image area after development and adhesion of undissolved strips of resist to the non-image area and image area. The present invention relates to a coloring composition, a color filter using the coloring composition for a color filter, and a liquid crystal display device using the color filter.

Conventionally, color filters used for liquid crystal display devices, etc., have dyes, printing methods, electrodeposition methods, pigment dispersion methods, etc., which have pixels such as red, green, and blue formed on glass substrates Has been used.
Among these, the color filter by the pigment dispersion method is manufactured by forming an image with a colored resist in which a pigment is dispersed in a photocurable resin, but the pigment dispersion method manufactures a color filter with high heat resistance. In addition, there is an advantage in that dyeing is unnecessary and a high-precision image can be formed.

The pigment dispersion method has a problem that when an image is formed with a colored resist containing a large amount of pigment, the pigment is likely to remain on the substrate, resulting in background staining. In the production of a color filter, red, green, and blue color pixels are sequentially formed. Therefore, the occurrence of background stains causes the color reproducibility of the color filter, the smoothness of the coating film, and the like to deteriorate.
In order to prevent such background contamination, methods such as control of development time, adjustment of developer concentration, and removal with a brush have been conventionally used.

Also, by adding organic carboxylic acid to the colored resist (Patent Documents 1 to 3), adding organic carboxylic acid anhydride to the colored resist (Patent Document 4), or by increasing the acid value of the binder resin. A method for improving the solubility has also been proposed.

[2] Preparation of Colored Composition (Color Filter Coating Liquid) Next, a method for preparing a color filter colored composition according to the first invention of the present invention will be described.

  First, a predetermined amount of each of the coloring material, the solvent, and the dispersant is weighed, and in the dispersion treatment step, the coloring material is dispersed to obtain a liquid colored composition (ink-like liquid). In this dispersion treatment step, a paint conditioner, a sand grinder, a ball mill, a roll mill, a stone mill, a jet mill, a homogenizer, or the like can be used. By carrying out this dispersion treatment, the color material is made into fine particles, so that the coating characteristics of the colored composition are improved and the transmittance of the product color filter substrate is improved.

  When the colorant is subjected to a dispersion treatment, it is preferable to appropriately use the binder resin or the dispersion aid. For example, when the dispersion treatment is performed using a sand grinder, it is preferable to use glass beads or zirconia beads having a diameter of 0.1 to several mm. The temperature for the dispersion treatment is usually set in the range of 0 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably in the range of room temperature to 80 ° C. The dispersion time varies depending on the composition of the ink-like liquid (coloring material, solvent, dispersant, etc.), the size of the sand grinder apparatus, etc., and therefore needs to be adjusted as appropriate.

The ink-like liquid obtained by the above dispersion treatment is mixed with a solvent, a binder resin, a polyfunctional monomer, a photopolymerization initiator system component, and other components blended as necessary to obtain a uniform dispersion solution. . In each of the dispersion treatment step and the mixing step, fine dust may be mixed, and thus the obtained color filter coating solution is preferably filtered with a filter or the like.
[3] Production of Color Filter Next, a method for producing a color filter according to the second invention of the present invention will be described.

A color filter is usually manufactured by forming a black matrix on a transparent substrate and then sequentially forming red, green, and blue pixel images.
The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention is used as a coating solution for forming a pixel image of at least one of black, red, green and blue. For black resists, for red, green, and blue color resists, on a resin black matrix forming surface formed on the transparent substrate, or a metal formed using a chromium compound or other light shielding metal material A pixel image of each color is formed on the black matrix forming surface by performing respective processes of coating, heat drying, image exposure, development and thermosetting.
[3-1] Transparent substrate (support)
The transparent substrate of the color filter is not particularly limited as long as it is transparent and has an appropriate strength. Examples of materials include polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, thermoplastic resin sheets such as polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polysulfone, epoxy resins, unsaturated polyester resins, and poly (meth). Examples thereof include thermosetting resin sheets such as acrylic resins, and various glasses. Among these, glass and heat resistant resin are preferable from the viewpoint of heat resistance.

Thin film formation of various resins such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, silane coupling agent, and urethane-based resin is necessary on transparent substrates and black matrix forming substrates described later for improving surface properties such as adhesion. Processing may be performed.
The thickness of the transparent substrate is usually 0.05 to 10 mm, preferably 0.1 to 7 mm. Moreover, when performing the thin film formation process of various resin, the film thickness is 0.01-10 micrometers normally, Preferably it is the range of 0.05-5 micrometers.
[3-2] Black matrix The black matrix is formed on a transparent substrate using a light-shielding metal thin film or a photosensitive black composition for black matrix. As the light shielding metal material, chromium compounds such as metal chromium, chromium oxide, and chromium nitride, nickel and tungsten alloy, and the like may be used, and these may be laminated in a plurality of layers.

  These metal light shielding films are generally formed by a sputtering method, and after forming a desired pattern in a film shape with a positive photoresist, ceric ammonium nitrate, perchloric acid and / or nitric acid are added to chromium. Other materials are etched using an etchant according to the material, and finally a positive photoresist is stripped with a dedicated stripper to form a black matrix. be able to.

  In this case, first, a thin film of the metal or metal / metal oxide is formed on the transparent substrate by vapor deposition or sputtering. Next, after forming a coating film of the colored composition on the thin film, the coating film is exposed and developed using a photomask having a repetitive pattern such as a stripe, a mosaic, and a triangle to form a resist image. Thereafter, this coating film can be etched to form a black matrix.

On the other hand, when the black composition for black matrix is used, a black matrix is formed using a coloring composition containing a black color material. For example, single or plural black color materials such as carbon black, graphite, iron black, aniline black, cyanine black, titanium black, or red, green, blue, etc., appropriately selected from inorganic or organic pigments and dyes A black matrix can be formed in the same manner as described below for forming a red, green, and blue pixel image using a coloring composition containing a black color material by mixing the above.
[3-3] Formation of pixels [3-3-1] Formation of coating film On a transparent substrate provided with a black matrix, a coloring composition containing one color material of red, green, and blue is applied and dried. After that, a photomask is overlaid on the formed coating film, and image exposure, development, and thermal curing or photocuring are performed as necessary through this photomask to form a pixel image, and a colored layer of the pixel image Create A color filter image can be formed by performing this operation for each of the three colored compositions of red, green, and blue.

  The coloring composition for the color filter can be applied by a spinner method, a wire bar method, a flow coating method, a die coating method, a roll coating method, a spray coating method, or the like. In particular, the die coating method significantly reduces the amount of coating solution used, and has no influence from mist adhering to the spin coating method. To preferred.

If the thickness of the coating film is too thick, pattern development becomes difficult, and gap adjustment in the liquid crystal cell forming process may be difficult. Expression may be impossible. The thickness of the coating film is usually preferably in the range of 0.2 to 20 μm as the film thickness after drying, more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10 μm, and still more preferably in the range of 0.8 to 5 μm. It is a range.
[3-3-2] Drying of Coating Film The coating film formed by applying the coloring composition to the transparent substrate is preferably dried by a drying method using a hot plate, IR oven, or convection oven. Usually, after preliminary drying, two-stage drying is performed by heating again and drying. The conditions for the preliminary drying can be appropriately selected according to the type of the solvent component, the performance of the dryer to be used, and the like. The drying time is usually selected in the range of 15 seconds to 5 minutes at a temperature of 40 to 80 ° C., preferably 30 to 50 to 70 ° C., depending on the type of solvent component, the performance of the dryer used, and the like. It is selected in the range of seconds to 3 minutes.

The reheat drying temperature condition is 50 to 200 ° C higher than the predrying temperature, preferably 70 to 160 ° C, particularly preferably 70 to 130 ° C. The drying time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 15 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the heating temperature. The higher the drying temperature, the better the adhesion to the transparent substrate. However, if the drying temperature is too high, the binder resin is decomposed, and thermal polymerization may be induced to cause development failure. The coating film may be dried by a reduced pressure drying method in which the temperature is not increased and drying is performed in a reduced pressure chamber.
[3-3-3] Exposure Step Image exposure is performed by overlaying a negative matrix pattern on the dried coating film of the colored composition and irradiating an ultraviolet or visible light source through the mask pattern. At this time, if necessary, exposure may be performed after forming an oxygen blocking layer such as a polyvinyl alcohol layer on the colored composition film in order to prevent a decrease in sensitivity of the colored composition film due to oxygen.

The light source used for image exposure is not particularly limited. For example, a xenon lamp, a halogen lamp, a tungsten lamp, a high pressure mercury lamp, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, a medium pressure mercury lamp, a low pressure mercury lamp, a carbon arc, a fluorescent lamp. And lamp light sources such as argon ion laser, YAG laser, excimer laser, nitrogen laser, helium cadmium laser, and semiconductor laser. An optical filter can also be used when used by irradiating light of a specific wavelength.

  Examples of the surfactant include nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl esters, sorbitan alkyl esters, monoglyceride alkyl esters, and alkylbenzene sulfonic acids. Examples include anionic surfactants such as salts, alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, sulfosuccinate esters, amphoteric surfactants such as alkylbetaines, amino acids, etc. They may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Examples of the organic solvent include one or more of isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, phenyl cellosolve, propylene glycol, diacetone alcohol, and the like. The organic solvent may be used alone or in combination with an aqueous solution.
There are no particular limitations on the conditions for the development treatment, and usually the development temperature is in the range of 10 to 50 ° C., especially 15 to 45 ° C., particularly preferably 20 to 40 ° C. The development methods are immersion development, spray development, brush Any of a developing method, an ultrasonic developing method and the like can be used.
[3-3-5] Thermosetting treatment The developed color filter substrate is usually subjected to a thermosetting treatment or a photocuring treatment, preferably a thermosetting treatment.

As for the thermosetting treatment conditions, the temperature is selected in the range of 100 to 280 ° C, preferably in the range of 150 to 250 ° C, and the time is selected in the range of 5 to 60 minutes.
Through these series of steps, the patterning image formation for one color is completed. This process is sequentially repeated to pattern (black,) red, green, and blue to form a color filter. Note that the patterning order of the three colors red, green, and blue is not limited to the order described above.
[3-3-6] Formation of transparent electrode The color filter according to the present invention forms a transparent electrode such as ITO on the image as it is, and is used as a part of components such as a color display and a liquid crystal display device. However, in order to enhance surface smoothness and durability, a top coat layer such as polyamide or polyimide can be provided on the image as necessary.

Further, in some applications such as a planar alignment type drive system (IPS mode), the transparent electrode may not be formed.
[4] Liquid crystal display device (panel)

As the alignment film, a resin film such as polyimide is suitable. For the formation of the alignment film, a gravure printing method and / or a flexographic printing method is usually employed, and the thickness of the alignment film is usually several tens of nm. The alignment film is cured by thermal baking, and then surface-treated by irradiation with ultraviolet rays or a rubbing cloth to process the surface state so that the tilt of the liquid crystal can be adjusted.
A spacer having a size corresponding to a gap (gap) with the counter substrate is used, and a spacer of 2 to 8 μm is usually preferable. A photo spacer (PS) of a transparent resin film can be formed on the color filter substrate by photolithography, and this can be used instead of the spacer.

As the counter substrate, an array substrate is usually used, and a TFT (thin film transistor) substrate is particularly preferable.
The gap for bonding to the counter substrate varies depending on the use of the liquid crystal display device, but is usually selected in the range of 2 to 8 μm. After being bonded to the counter substrate, portions other than the liquid crystal injection port are sealed with a sealing material such as an epoxy resin. The sealing material is cured by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and / or heating, and the periphery of the liquid crystal cell is sealed.
