Description

  The present invention relates to a photosensitive transfer material suitable for manufacturing a display element such as a color filter, a partition using the photosensitive transfer material and a method for forming the same, an optical element and a method for manufacturing the same, a liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal color television, and the like. The present invention relates to a display device.

  In recent years, the demand for liquid crystal displays for personal computers and liquid crystal color televisions has been increasing, and there has been an increasing demand for improved characteristics and cost reduction of color filters indispensable for such displays.

Conventionally, a dyeing method, a pigment dispersion method, an electrodeposition method, a printing method, and the like have been proposed as a method for producing a color filter.
For example, in the dyeing method, a water-soluble polymer material layer, which is a dyeing material, is formed on a transparent substrate, patterned into a desired shape by a photolithography process, and then the obtained pattern is immersed in a dyeing bath. To obtain a colored pattern. By repeating this step three times, a colored layer comprising three colored portions of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) is formed.
In addition, the pigment dispersion method has been widely used in recent years, and a monochromatic pattern is formed by forming a photosensitive resin layer in which a pigment is dispersed on a transparent substrate and patterning the formed photosensitive resin layer. can get. By repeating this step three times, a colored layer of three colors R, G, and B can be formed.
In the electrodeposition method, a transparent electrode is patterned on a transparent substrate and immersed in an electrodeposition coating solution containing a pigment, a resin, an electrolytic solution, etc., and a colored layer is formed by electrodeposition. This process is repeated three times to form colored layers of three colors R, G, and B, and finally fired.
The printing method is to form a colored layer by dispersing the pigment in a thermosetting resin and repeating printing three times to separate R, G and B, and then thermosetting the resin. It is.

  The point common to the above-described method is that, when forming colored pixels of three colors of red, green, and blue, it is necessary to repeat the same process three times, which tends to increase the cost. In addition, since the number of processes is large, there is a problem that the yield tends to decrease.

  In view of the above circumstances, in recent years, a color filter manufacturing method in which a black matrix is formed in advance by a pigment dispersion method and then RGB colored pixels are formed by an ink jet method has been studied.

  In this method using the inkjet method, pixels can be formed by sequentially applying colored inks of R, G, and B colors to the recesses surrounded by the black matrix, which can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce costs. There is an advantage that can be achieved. The ink jet method is not limited to the production of color filters, and can be applied to the production of other optical elements such as electroluminescence elements.

  An electroluminescent device has a structure in which a thin film containing fluorescent inorganic and organic compounds is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode, and excitons are generated by injecting electrons and holes into the thin film and recombining them. The device emits light using the emission of fluorescence or phosphorescence when the exciton is deactivated. Each color fluorescent material used for such an electroluminescence element can be applied to a substrate on which an element such as a TFT is formed by an ink jet method to form a light emitting layer to constitute the element.

  As described above, a method for applying droplets such as the ink jet method can be applied to the manufacture of optical elements such as a color filter and an electroluminescence element because the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

However, there are concerns about “white spots”, “extruding ink”, “color mixing” and the like as shown in FIG. “Extruding ink” refers to a black matrix that is a partition when ink is applied to an exposed portion (region where pixels are to be formed) surrounded by a black matrix provided as a partition to form a colored region. Is a phenomenon in which the ink overflows and “mixed color” is a phenomenon in which the overflowed ink is mixed between adjacent colored regions.
When the ink is applied by the ink jet method, if the ink protrudes or mixes colors, for example, color unevenness occurs in the produced color filter or the contrast of the display image is reduced.

  For this reason, various techniques for preventing ink protrusion and color mixing have been studied in the past. For example, a method of patterning a water- and oil-repellent silicone rubber layer to form a partition wall for preventing color mixing (for example, patents) Document 1) and a method of forming a silicone rubber layer on a black matrix that serves as a light shielding layer and using it as a partition wall for preventing color mixing (for example, see Patent Documents 2 to 3).

In addition, as a method of using a fluorine compound exhibiting higher oil repellency and water repellency than a silicone compound, an ink repellent treatment example using CF ₄ plasma has been attempted (for example, see Patent Document 4). When ink repellent treatment is performed by this method, ink mixing between adjacent pixels is effectively prevented, but there is a drawback that white spots are likely to occur. This is a problem that occurs because the ink repellent treatment does not stop on the upper surface of the partition wall but extends to the side surface of the partition wall. Another problem is that a large capital investment is required to perform the plasma treatment.

As a method that does not require a large capital investment, there is a method using a wettability adjusting agent having a reactive group. For example, an ink repellent treatment example using a fluorine-containing silane coupling agent is disclosed as a wettability adjusting agent having a reactive group (see, for example, Patent Document 5). When ink repellent treatment is performed by this method, mixing of ink between adjacent pixels can be effectively prevented, and the side wall of the partition is not processed, so that generation of bubbles (repels) in the vicinity of the partition is suppressed. In order to coat on the photoresist layer, it is necessary to apply the fluorine-containing silane coupling agent with a solvent that does not dissolve the photoresist layer, and it is generally expensive special such as perfluoro (2-butyltetrahydrofuran). It was necessary to use a suitable solvent.
In addition, any of these methods has to provide a dedicated process for the ink repellent treatment, which is a cost burden.

  Further, a technique is disclosed in which a partition is formed using a transfer film having a transfer layer comprising a first layer having ink repellency and a second layer having ink repellency on a base film (see, for example, Patent Document 6). ).

Further, a color filter is disclosed in which a resin layer containing a fluorine-containing compound or the like is laminated on a light shielding layer provided on a transparent substrate constituting the color filter (see, for example, Patent Document 7).

  However, the method of forming the silicone rubber layer as described above is insufficient for the ink repellency of the partition wall surface, and a resin layer containing a fluorine material such as a fluorine-containing monomer is used as the photosensitive layer on the temporary support. When forming a photosensitive layer on this resin layer, it is difficult to obtain a uniform film by repelling the coating solution for forming the photosensitive layer on this resin layer, and uniform coating becomes difficult, resulting in difficulty in coating the coating layer. There is a problem that the formability deteriorates.

  Further, for example, in a liquid crystal cell of a liquid crystal display device, the cell gap is regulated by a spacer material. However, in the method of forming a layer on a partition to make ink repellent, the cell gap is not fixed and display unevenness is likely to occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and a liquid contact angle (for example, ink repellency) of a cured pattern (for example, a light-shielding film such as a black matrix in the case of producing a color filter) composed of a transferred photosensitive resin layer. And a photosensitive transfer material having a uniform photosensitive resin layer that retains the flatness of the pixel when used as an optical element and suppresses the occurrence of repelling at the time of application. It is an object of the present invention to provide a partition wall and a method for forming the partition that can favorably apply ink by the method, an optical element capable of displaying a good image without display unevenness and a decrease in contrast, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device. It is an object to achieve the object.

In the present invention, when the fluorine-containing monomer is contained in the surface treatment layer of the photosensitive resin layer, introduction of a long-chain soluble group into the fluorine-containing monomer gives a liquid for forming the photosensitive resin layer (for example, coating) It has been achieved based on the knowledge that it is effective in preventing repelling (repel).

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
<Photosensitive transfer material>
The photosensitive transfer material of the present invention includes at least a photosensitive resin layer and a surface treatment layer provided in contact with the temporary support side surface of the photosensitive resin layer on a temporary support, and if necessary, thermoplastic Other layers such as a resin layer can be provided.

~ Surface treatment layer ~
The surface treatment layer according to the present invention refers to a layer that is formed so as to be in contact with the temporary support side surface of the photosensitive resin layer and that treats the temporary support side surface of the photosensitive resin layer. Specifically, as the surface treatment layer, for example,
(1) In a photosensitive transfer material in which a thermoplastic resin layer 40, an intermediate layer 20, and a photosensitive resin layer 10 are formed on a temporary support 30 so as to be in contact with each other as shown in FIG. Indicates the intermediate layer 20,
(2) In the photosensitive transfer material in which the intermediate layer 20 and the photosensitive resin layer 10 are formed on the temporary support 30 so as to contact each other as shown in FIG. Point. Also,
(3) In the photosensitive transfer material formed so that the thermoplastic resin layer and the photosensitive resin layer are in contact with each other in this order on the temporary support, the thermoplastic resin layer is indicated,
(4) In a photosensitive transfer material in which a thermoplastic resin layer, an intermediate layer, another layer as a surface treatment layer and a photosensitive resin layer are formed on a temporary support so that they are in contact with each other in this order, the other layer Point. In the case where the photosensitive transfer material is pressure-bonded to a substrate for forming a partition wall or the like, the present invention is excellent in prevention of mixing of each layer, oxygen barrier property, adhesion at the time of pressure bonding, and economical efficiency. The photosensitive transfer material is particularly preferably the embodiment (1).

  In the present invention, the coating solution for forming the surface treatment layer contains a fluorine-containing compound containing a polymerizable group, which is a compound represented by the following structural formula (1), and is temporarily supported by coating, for example. By forming a film on the body, the polymerizable group-containing fluorine-based compound is concentrated on the air interface side (side not in contact with the temporary support) of the film. Furthermore, when a photosensitive resin layer is formed thereon (on the air interface side), a polymerizable group-containing fluorine-based compound is densely packed at the photosensitive resin layer side interface in the surface treatment layer. . Next, in this state, the photosensitive resin layer is pressure-bonded to a desired transfer target and exposed after pressure bonding (preferably from the surface treatment layer side). Then, a polymerization reaction occurs due to the action of the initiator in the photosensitive resin layer, and the photosensitive resin layer is cured. In this exposure curing process, the fluorine-containing compound containing a polymerizable group in the surface treatment layer causes an interaction such as chemical bonding or physical adsorption with the photosensitive resin layer and is fixed to the surface treatment layer side interface. . In this way, ink repellency can be imparted only to the exposed surface treatment layer side interface of the photosensitive resin layer. Further, after exposure, the surface treatment layer is removed in a developing step (c) for developing the photosensitive resin layer, which will be described later. A partition having ink repellency can be formed only on the upper surface of the photosensitive resin layer. Providing a step of heating the surface treatment layer and the photosensitive resin layer before (a) the crimping step or between (a) the crimping step and (b) the exposure step also makes the interaction stronger. It is preferable at the point which can do.

  As described above, by containing the compound represented by the following structural formula (1) in the surface treatment layer, the liquid contact angle of the cured pattern composed of the transferred photosensitive resin layer can be kept high, A liquid for forming a photosensitive resin layer (hereinafter referred to as a “photosensitive resin layer forming liquid”) may be superimposed on the surface of the surface treatment layer on the temporary support. For example, coating for coating and forming a photosensitive resin layer. It is possible to prevent occurrence of repelling when applying (for example, applying) a liquid, and uniform application can be performed. In addition, by increasing the liquid contact angle, for example, ink repellency is obtained, and ink is applied to an area surrounded by a partition made of a photosensitive resin layer by ink jetting to form a colored area. Protrusion and color mixing can be effectively prevented.

  The polymerizable group-containing fluorine-based compound fixed on the surface of the photosensitive resin layer by the interaction is not removed by development, and thus the surface of the photosensitive resin layer opposite to the side in contact with the transfer target as described above. A partition wall in which ink repellency is applied only to the upper surface of the photosensitive resin layer on the transfer medium can be formed.

  Thus, the surface treatment layer can achieve its purpose if it has a film thickness of about one molecule, and therefore there is no particular limitation on the layer thickness of the surface treatment layer. However, from the viewpoints of economy and developability, the thickness of the surface treatment layer is preferably 15.0 μm or less, and more preferably 3.0 μm or less.

  Further, it is not preferable that a polymerizable group-containing fluorine-based compound having a thickness of 0.1 μm or more exists on the surface of the photosensitive resin layer after exposure and development. When the polymerizable group-containing fluorine-based compound forms a layer in this manner, the removal of the surface treatment layer may not be complete, and there may be a residue that is not fixed to the surface of the photosensitive resin layer by interaction. Is expensive. In this case, when the panel is formed, the fluorine-based compound may cry out in the liquid crystal, which may hinder the driving of the liquid crystal. In addition, the thickness of the partition wall may be larger than the desired thickness, and the cell gap may not be a desired value, causing problems such as display unevenness.

  In the present invention, the partition wall on the transferred body has ink repellency only on the upper surface (exposed surface opposite to the side in contact with the transferred body), and the side surface has no ink repellency. For this reason, there is an advantage that white-out failure hardly occurs. Moreover, the thickness of the partition can be made the same as the thickness of the photosensitive resin layer, and there is an advantage that the problem due to the variation in the film thickness does not occur.

  The surface treatment layer does not necessarily have photosensitivity in terms of imparting ink repellency, and is preferably non-photosensitive not including a photopolymerization initiator and a photopolymerization initiator system. Here, “does not contain” means that a photopolymerization initiator or a photopolymerization initiator system is not added when preparing a liquid for forming a surface treatment layer (for example, a coating liquid used for coating). Specifically, the content of the photopolymerization initiator and the photopolymerization initiator system in the layer is preferably 10% by mass or less of the total mass of the layer. When the surface treatment layer contains a photopolymerization initiator or a photopolymerization initiator system, the surface treatment layer also hardens during exposure, and the thickness of the partition wall becomes thicker than desired. If this happens, the cell gap may not be a desired value, and problems such as display unevenness may occur.

The surface treatment layer according to the present invention may be provided adjacent to the photosensitive resin layer between the temporary support and the photosensitive resin layer, and between the provided surface treatment layer and the temporary support. Other layers such as an undercoat layer of the temporary support may be provided.
Further, the surface treatment layer may be composed of a single layer or may be composed of two or more layers.

A mode in which a thermoplastic resin layer, an intermediate layer, and a photosensitive resin layer are provided on the temporary support so as to contact each other in this order can be suitably configured. In this case, the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention may be contained at least in the intermediate layer, and may be further contained in the thermoplastic resin layer in some cases.

Here, the manufacturing method of the photosensitive transfer material of the said preferable aspect is demonstrated.
First, a thermoplastic resin layer is formed by applying a coating solution (a coating solution for a thermoplastic resin layer) in which a constituent component of the thermoplastic resin layer is dissolved on a temporary support, and then drying, to form a thermoplastic resin. On the layer, a coating liquid (intermediate layer coating liquid) containing a component of the intermediate layer (including the fluorine compound according to the present invention) using a solvent that does not dissolve the thermoplastic resin layer is applied and dried. After that, an intermediate layer is formed, and then a coating solution (photosensitive resin layer coating solution) containing a constituent component of the photosensitive resin layer using a solvent that does not dissolve the intermediate layer is applied onto the formed intermediate layer and dried. And can be produced by providing a photosensitive resin layer.
In addition, a sheet provided with a thermoplastic resin layer and an intermediate layer on a temporary support and a sheet provided with a photosensitive resin layer on a protective film are prepared, and the intermediate layer and the photosensitive resin layer are mutually in contact with each other.

  The application can be performed by a known application apparatus or the like, but in the present invention, application is preferably performed by a slit-like nozzle having a slit-like hole at a portion where the liquid is discharged. Specifically, JP-A-2004-89851, JP-A-2004-17043, JP-A-2003-170098, JP-A-2003-164787, JP-A-2003-10767, JP-A-2002-79163. Slit nozzles and slit coaters described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-310147 and the like are preferably used.

<Partition and method for forming the same>

A pressure bonding step; and (b) an exposure step of exposing the photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive transfer material pressure-bonded to the transfer object in a pattern (at least with or without a surface treatment layer); and (c). And a development step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin layer. Preferably, after the (c) development step, (d) the partition pattern obtained by development is baked. A baking process is provided.

  As described above, the partition wall of the present invention is formed using the photosensitive transfer material in which the surface treatment layer containing the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention is provided in contact with the photosensitive resin layer. Ink repellency (including oil repellency and water repellency) is selectively imparted to the upper surface of the partition formed through exposure, development, etc. (the surface of the partition opposite to the side in contact with the transfer target; see FIG. 3). At the same time, the exposed substrate surface and the side surfaces of the partition walls (see FIG. 3), which are to be colored regions (pixels), are not fluorinated and are not ink repellent.

-Transferee-
As the transfer target for transferring and forming the partition using the photosensitive transfer material of the present invention described above, for example, a transparent substrate is used, a soda glass plate having a silicon oxide film on the surface, low expansion glass, non-alkali Examples thereof include known glass plates such as glass and quartz glass plates, or plastic films.

By subjecting the transfer body to a coupling treatment in advance, it is possible to satisfactorily adhere to the photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive transfer material. As the coupling treatment, a method described in JP 2000-39033 A is suitable.
In addition, although the thickness of a board | substrate is not specifically limited, 700-1200 micrometers is generally preferable.

-Crimping process-
In the pressure-bonding step, the above-described photosensitive transfer material of the present invention is pressure-bonded to the surface of the transferred body so that the surface of the photosensitive resin layer is in contact with the transferred body.
The pressure bonding is, for example, contacting by applying pressure like a laminate, and the photosensitive resin layer formed into a film shape is heated and / or pressurized using the photosensitive transfer material of the present invention. By pressure-bonding or thermocompression-bonding with a roller or a flat plate, a laminate in which a photosensitive transfer material is affixed on a transfer target can be obtained.
Specific examples include a method using a laminator and a laminating method described in JP-A-7-110575, JP-A-11-77942, JP-A-2000-334836, and JP-A-2002-148794. From the viewpoint of low foreign matter, it is preferable to use the method described in JP-A-7-110575.

  Further, as a laminator, a multi-cutter laminator may be used. Examples of the multi-cutter laminator include those described in paragraph numbers [0007] to [0039] of JP-A-2004-333616. By using a multi-catch laminator, a laminator (multi-catch laminator) that can supply a plurality of transfer materials with a width smaller than the transfer area width in parallel can be used for laminating a wide width without depending on the application width of the resin transfer material. realizable.

-Exposure and development process-
In the exposure step, the photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive transfer material pressure-bonded to the transfer object in the pressure-bonding step is exposed in a pattern (at least through or not through the surface treatment layer).
In the exposure, for example, a predetermined mask is disposed further above the photosensitive resin layer transferred onto the transfer object, and a light source is disposed further above the mask, and the mask (and the surface if necessary) This can be done by irradiating from above the mask through the treatment layer.

As a light source for exposure, any light source capable of irradiating light in a wavelength region capable of curing the photosensitive resin layer (for example, 365 nm, 405 nm, etc.) can be appropriately selected and used. Specifically, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp, a high pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, etc. are mentioned. As an exposure amount, it is 5-300 mJ / cm < ² > normally, Preferably it is 10-200 mJ / cm < ² >.
Pattern exposure can also be performed by exposure with a laser light source described in paragraphs [0061] to [0205] of JP-A-2004-240216, in addition to the exposure method performed using the mask.

  In the exposure step, the exposed surface of the photosensitive resin layer provided on the transferred body that does not contact the transferred body is fluorinated. In the process of exposing and curing the photosensitive resin layer, the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention in the surface treatment layer causes an interaction such as chemical bonding or physical adsorption with the photosensitive resin layer, and the photosensitive resin layer Since it is fixed to the surface treatment layer side interface, ink repellency can be imparted to the surface treatment layer side interface of the photosensitive resin layer.

  In the development step, the photosensitive resin layer exposed in the exposure step is developed using a developer, and the photosensitive resin layer in the unexposed area is developed and removed. Through this development step, the latent image formed by exposure can be made visible and obtained as a partition.

  At this time, the surface treatment layer can be removed by development. Thereby, the surface treatment layer on the photosensitive resin layer is removed, but the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention fixed on the surface of the photosensitive resin layer remains. A partition wall can be provided in which ink repellency is selectively imparted only to the opposite surface (the upper surface of the photosensitive resin layer on the transfer target).

The developer is not particularly limited, and known developers such as those described in JP-A-5-72724 can be used. The developer preferably has a development type developing behavior of the photosensitive resin layer. For example, a developer containing a compound having a pKa of 7 to 13 at a concentration of 0.05 to 5 mol / L is preferable, but further miscible with water. A small amount of an organic solvent having properties may be added.
Here, as the “organic solvent miscible with water”, for example, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-propanol, butanol, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono -N-butyl ether, benzyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, ε-caprolactone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoramide, ethyl lactate, methyl lactate, ε-caprolactam, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc. Can be mentioned.
The concentration of the organic solvent is preferably 0.1 to 30% by mass.

  A known surfactant can be further added to the developer. The concentration of the surfactant is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass.

As a development method, a known method such as paddle development, shower development, shower & spin development, dip development or the like can be used. Here, shower development will be described.
In shower development, an uncured portion can be removed by spraying a developer onto the exposed photosensitive resin layer by shower. In addition, before development, it is preferable to spray an alkaline solution having a low solubility in the photosensitive resin layer by a shower or the like to remove the thermoplastic resin layer, the intermediate layer, and the like. Further, after the development, it is preferable to remove the development residue while spraying a cleaning agent or the like with a shower and rubbing with a brush or the like.
The liquid temperature of the developer is preferably 20 to 40 ° C., and the pH of the developer is preferably 8 to 13.

-Bake process-
In the baking process, the partition pattern obtained by developing in the developing process is baked (heated). In the baking process, an image (partition pattern) formed by pattern exposure and development is heated and cured.

  Various conventionally known methods can be used as the baking method. That is, for example, a method of storing a plurality of substrates in a cassette and processing them with a convection oven, a method of processing one by one with a hot plate, a method of processing with an infrared heater, and the like.

  Moreover, as baking temperature (heating temperature), it is 150-280 degreeC normally, Preferably it is 180-250 degreeC. Although the heating time varies depending on the baking temperature, when the baking temperature is 220 ° C., it is preferably 5 to 30 minutes in the intermediate baking process and 60 to 200 minutes in the final baking process.

  Further, in the baking step in the partition wall forming method, the partition wall pattern formed by the exposure and development steps prevents uneven film loss and deposits components such as UV absorbers contained in the photosensitive resin layer. From the viewpoint of prevention, post-exposure may be performed before baking. When post-exposure is performed before the baking process is performed, it is possible to effectively prevent a minute foreign matter swollen during lamination from causing a defect.

-Post exposure-
Here, the post-exposure will be briefly described.
As the light source used for the post-exposure, any light source capable of irradiating light in a wavelength region capable of curing the photosensitive resin layer (for example, 365 nm, 405 nm) can be appropriately selected and used.
Specifically, an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp, a high pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, etc. are mentioned.
The exposure may be an exposure to compensate for the exposure, is usually in the 50 to 5000 mJ / cm ^2, preferably not 200~2000mJ / cm ^2, more preferably a 500~1000mJ / cm ^2.

-Example of partition wall formation method-
Here, an example of a method for forming the partition is shown below. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
i) Substrate cleaning When using an alkali-free glass substrate (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “glass substrate”), cleaning is performed to remove contamination on the substrate surface. For example, glass cleaner liquid adjusted to 25 ° C. (trade names: T-SD1, T-SD2, manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.) is washed with a rotating brush having nylon hair while spraying for 20 seconds with a shower, Perform pure water shower cleaning.

ii) Silane coupling treatment In order to increase the adhesion of the photosensitive resin layer during lamination, it is preferable to carry out a silane coupling treatment on the glass substrate. As the silane coupling agent, those having a functional group that interacts with the photosensitive resin are preferable. For example, a silane coupling solution (N-β (aminoethyl) γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane 0.3 mass% aqueous solution, trade name: KBM603, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) is sprayed for 20 seconds with a shower, and pure water Wash the shower. Thereafter, the reaction is carried out by heating. Although a heating tank may be used, the reaction can be advanced by preheating the substrate in a laminator.

iii) Lamination Subsequently, this glass substrate is heated at 100 ° C. for 2 minutes by a substrate preheating device and then sent to a laminator in the next step. Thereby, lamination can be performed uniformly.
Then, after peeling off the protective film of the photosensitive transfer material of the present invention described above, a rubber roller temperature of 130 ° C., a linear pressure of 100 N / cm, and a conveying speed of 2.2. Laminate at 2 m / min. The temperature of the rubber roller is preferably 100 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower. When the temperature of the glass substrate is within the above range, wrinkles to the transfer material are suppressed, and adhesion of the photosensitive resin layer is also good.

iv) Pattern exposure After lamination, exposure is performed using a proximity type exposure machine having an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp. The temporary support may be peeled off after exposure (in this case, the photosensitive resin layer is exposed through the temporary support and the surface treatment layer), or the temporary support is peeled off before exposure. (In this case, the photosensitive resin layer is exposed through the surface treatment layer).
In this case, the surface treatment layer is in close contact with the photosensitive resin layer at the time of exposure, and when the temporary support is peeled off, the surface treatment layer may or may not be peeled off at the same time. It is preferable to leave only the temporary support while leaving it in close contact.

When the size of the transfer object is 50 centimeters or more, it is preferable to expose the substrate and the mask (quartz exposure mask having an image pattern) in a vertical state from the viewpoint of preventing the mask from being bent. The shorter the distance between the mask surface and the substrate-side surface of the photosensitive resin layer, the better the resolution, but foreign matter tends to adhere, so it is set to 100 to 300 μm. The exposure dose is preferably in the range of 10 to 300 mJ / cm ² . The pattern is exposed as described above.

v) Removal of thermoplastic resin layer and intermediate layer After completion of exposure and peeling off of the temporary support, a triethanolamine developer (for example, 2.5% triethanolamine, nonionic surfactant, and polypropylene) The thermoplastic resin layer and the intermediate layer are removed using an antifoaming agent (trade name) T-PD1, manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., or the like. At this time, ideally, other conditions are set so that the photosensitive resin layer is not developed at all. For example, it is supplied in a shower at a flat nozzle pressure of 0.04 MPa at 30 ° C. for 50 seconds.
In addition, when a thermoplastic resin layer and an intermediate | middle layer do not correspond to a surface treatment layer, you may remove with a temporary support body at the time of peeling of a temporary support body.

vi) Development of photosensitive resin layer Subsequently, the photosensitive resin layer is developed with an alkali to form a pattern. For example, a sodium carbonate developer (for example, 0.06 mol / liter sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate of the same concentration, 1% by weight of sodium dibutylnaphthalenesulfonate, an anionic surfactant, an antifoaming agent, and a stabilizer) (Trade name) T-CD1, manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.).
As conditions, for example, shower development is performed at 35 ° C. for 35 seconds and a cone type nozzle pressure of 0.15 MPa. As the developing solution, KOH type or TMA type may be used.

vii) Residue removal Subsequently, a detergent (for example, phosphate, silicate, nonionic surfactant, antifoaming agent and stabilizer-containing (trade name) T-SD1, manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. or sodium carbonate) (Trade name) T-SD2 (produced by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.) containing a phenoxypolyoxyethylene surfactant is used.
The condition is that the residue is removed with a rotating brush having a shower and nylon bristles at 33 ° C. for 20 seconds at a cone type nozzle pressure of 0.02 MPa. As described above, the remaining components of the photosensitive resin layer in the unexposed area are removed.

viii) Post exposure Subsequently, about 500 mJ / cm ² is post-exposed on the glass substrate from the pattern forming surface side with an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp. Post exposure may be performed from both sides, and can be selected in the range of 100 to 800 mJ / cm ² . By performing the post exposure, the polymerization and hardening in the subsequent baking process is enhanced, and the cross-sectional shape of the partition wall after baking can be adjusted by the exposure amount at the time of post exposure.

ix) Baking treatment By performing the baking treatment, the reaction of the monomer or oligomer can be promoted to form a hard film. The baking treatment is preferably performed by heat treatment at 200 to 240 ° C. for 30 to 180 minutes. These temperatures and times are more preferably set at higher temperatures and shorter times so as not to reduce production tact.
Through the above steps, the partition wall of the present invention can be formed.

As described above, the photosensitive transfer material of the present invention is configured to contain the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention in the surface treatment layer provided in contact with the photosensitive resin layer, so that the desired transfer target can be obtained. At least the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention is present on a partition such as a black matrix formed by transferring the photosensitive resin layer, that is, the photosensitive resin layer constituting the partition on the transfer object, The surface opposite to the side in contact with the transferred body (the upper surface of the photosensitive resin layer on the transferred body) is fluorinated by the surface treatment layer, and the fluorinated surface is exposed, and is on the transferred body. Ink repellent selectively applied to the upper surface of the partition wall that partitions each colored region when forming each colored region (colored pixel of an optical element such as a color filter) separated by the provided partition wall by an inkjet method By sex Color mixing of the ink jet applied, can be prevented protrusion can be ink which is thus imparted to prevent blurred Dari flow into other colored region.
In the case of producing a color filter, it is preferable to use a light-shielding layer that isolates adjacent colored pixels and shields light. In that case, a black matrix or a black stripe can be used.

Hereinafter, a color filter will be described as an example of the optical element of the present invention provided with a partition wall.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the color filter. In FIG. 3, the concave portion 3 at the right end is shown in a state where no colored pixels are formed for easy understanding.

As shown in FIG. 3, the color filter of the present invention has a partition wall 1 provided on a glass substrate 6 so that recesses 3 are formed at predetermined intervals, and ink is formed in the recesses 3 surrounded by the partition walls. Is added to form the colored pixel 2.
Here, for ease of explanation, only five partition walls 1 and four recesses 3 are shown, but the partition walls and the recesses can be provided as necessary. For example, in the case of a striped color filter, if the number of pixels is 640 pixels, three colored regions of RGB per pixel are required, so 1921 partition walls 1 and 1920 recesses 3 are required. become. In a liquid crystal display element, a color filter pattern may be formed up to the periphery of a display pixel where display is not performed due to the precision of the gap between the substrates.

  When the pattern is striped, the partition wall 1 may not be formed in the longitudinal direction, but the periphery of the colored pixel 2 may be completely surrounded by the partition wall 1. In particular, in the case of a mosaic color filter, the periphery of the colored pixel 2 is surrounded by a partition wall 1.

  The partition walls 1 for partitioning the colored pixels 2 are formed on the glass substrate 6 in a line shape or a lattice shape. The shape of the partition wall 1 may be such that the recess 3 partitioned by the partition wall corresponds to the colored pixel 2 to be formed. For example, in the case of forming a striped color filter, it is formed in a linear shape, and in order to correspond to the square colored pixel 2, it is formed in a lattice shape. Since this is appropriately determined depending on the shape of the colored pixel 2, various shapes such as a radial shape and a circumferential shape are also conceivable.

  When the partition wall 1 is configured in a liquid crystal display element or the like, it is advantageous that it also functions as a black matrix. Hereinafter, an example in which the partition wall 1 also serves as a black matrix will be described. However, in the case where the partition wall 1 is not formed as a black matrix, a structure that does not include a black material or the like may be used.

  The partition wall 1 has a role of preventing ink that has been ejected from flowing into or bleeding into other recessed portions or existing colored pixels when the recessed portion 3 is colored by an inkjet method. Accordingly, it is preferable that the height of the partition wall 1 is high to some extent, but considering that it is also required that the entire flatness in the case of forming a color filter is required, the height is close to the required thickness of the colored pixels. Is preferred. Specifically, it is usually about 0.1 to 3 μm, although it varies depending on the amount of ink deposited to obtain a desired colored pixel.

  When ink is applied to the recess 3 on the glass substrate 6 by ink jetting, if the ink remains on the upper surface of the partition wall 1 (the upper surface 4 shown in FIG. 3), the flatness, the thickness between the colored pixels, and the uniformity of coloring may be impaired. In the partition wall of the present invention, since the upper surface is subjected to ink repellent treatment, uneven thickness and coloring can be effectively suppressed. On the other hand, the partition wall of the present invention is not subjected to ink repellent treatment on its side surface (side surface 5 shown in FIG. 3). That is, the upper surface 4 of the partition wall 1 has a property of repelling ink, and the side surface has a property of hardly repelling ink. Furthermore, since the ink repellency treatment is not applied to the recesses 3 where the colored pixels are to be formed, the exposed surface of the recesses 3 has a property that it is difficult to repel the ink. It is difficult for white spots to occur in the recess 3, and it is also possible to effectively prevent ink from protruding or mixing colors.

Here, the degree of ink repellency imparted to the upper surface 4 of the partition wall 1 constituting the color filter is preferably 85 to 140 ° in terms of the water contact angle. If the contact angle is less than 85 °, the ink tends to remain on the upper surface of the partition wall. If the contact angle exceeds 140 °, coloring of the recesses between the partition walls is likely to be inhibited, or the smoothness of the upper surface of the partition wall may be lost. . In particular, the range of 100 to 125 ° is more preferable.
The degree of ink repellency (water contact angle range) can be controlled by the content of the fluorine-based compound according to the present invention in the surface treatment layer described above, the pattern exposure amount to the photosensitive resin layer, and the like.

  Here, the contact angle of water can be measured with a contact angle meter DM300 manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd., and the contact angle of ink can be determined in the same manner.

In the present invention, the black matrix is, for example, a linear pixel that is formed in a linear shape when forming a striped color filter, and is formed in a lattice shape so as to correspond to a square pixel. It is a partition provided between. The black matrix is appropriately determined depending on the shape of the colored pixel, and can be configured in various shapes such as a radial shape and a circumferential shape.
The black matrix can be produced by using a colorant that can impart light shielding properties to the photosensitive resin layer.

<Optical element and manufacturing method thereof>
The photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive transfer material of the present invention is transferred to form a colored region (for example, a colored pixel) by applying a liquid suitability to the concave portion defined by the partition formed on the transfer target by the inkjet method. By doing so, the optical element of the present invention can be produced.

  The optical element of the present invention includes an optical element such as a color filter, an electroluminescence element, etc., which is formed by coloring a concave region surrounded by a partition wall formed in advance by liquid application using an ink jet method.

  As an example of the color filter, rectangular images colored red, green, blue, etc. are arranged in a matrix on a substrate such as glass, and a partition such as a black matrix is arranged between the images. The aspect comprised as mentioned above is mentioned. In addition, as an example of an electroluminescence element, a thin film containing a fluorescent inorganic or organic compound is sandwiched between a cathode and an anode, and electrons and holes are injected into the thin film to be recombined. Thus, there is an element in which an exciton is generated and light is emitted by using emission of fluorescence or phosphorescence when the exciton is deactivated. In the electroluminescence element, the element can be configured by forming a light-emitting layer by applying a liquid material onto a substrate on which an element such as a TFT is formed by an ink jet method.

  A method of applying droplets such as an ink jet method can be applied to the manufacture of optical elements such as color filters and electroluminescence elements because the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  As an ink jet method, a method in which charged ink is continuously ejected and controlled by an electric field, a method in which ink is ejected intermittently using a piezoelectric element, and a method in which ink is heated and ejected intermittently using its foaming Various methods can be employed.

  The ink can be used both oily and aqueous. In addition, as the colorant contained in the ink, both a dye and a pigment can be used, and a pigment is preferable from the viewpoint of durability. Moreover, the oil-based colored ink (colored resin composition) currently used for preparation of a well-known color filter can also be used.

In consideration of the step after ink jet application, a component that is cured by heating or cured by energy rays such as ultraviolet rays can be added to the ink. Various thermosetting resins are widely used as the component cured by heating, and as the component cured by energy rays, for example, an acrylate derivative or a methacrylate derivative added with a photoreaction initiator can be used. In particular, in view of heat resistance, those having a plurality of acryloyl groups and methacryloyl groups in the molecule are more preferable. These acrylate derivatives and methacrylate derivatives are preferably water-soluble, and even those that are sparingly soluble in water can be used after being emulsified.
In this case, a photosensitive resin composition containing a colorant such as a pigment mentioned in the section “Photosensitive resin layer” can be used as a suitable material.

For example, when configuring a color filter as an optical element, the in-pixel step ΔT _{R of} the red colored pixel, the in-pixel step ΔT _{G of} the green colored pixel, and the in-pixel step ΔT _B of the blue colored pixel are all 0.5 μm or less, The thickness is preferably 0.2 μm or less. A color filter composed of colored pixels having a preferable level difference in the pixel can suppress the occurrence of display defects such as a decrease in contrast and an afterimage due to light leakage, and can display an image with excellent image quality.
Examples of a method for adjusting the in-pixel step to a preferable range include the methods described in paragraph numbers [0038] to [0042] of JP-A-11-218607.

Further, the color filter (colored pixel) composed of at least three colors has white display coordinates (u ′ _white , v ′ _white ) and black that are calculated based on the tristimulus values “X, Y, Z” of each film. The display coordinates (u ′ _black , v ′ _black ) are coordinates P ₁ (0.18, 0.52), coordinates Q ₁ (0.25, 0.52), coordinates R ₁ (0.23, 0.42). ), Which is within the range of a straight line connecting the four coordinates of coordinates S ₁ (0.15, 0.42). Examples of the color filter include those described in JP-A-2005-25175, paragraph numbers [0008] to [0047]. A display device using a color filter can appropriately balance the pixels, and the display color can be easily adjusted. In particular, it can be preferably used as a color filter for television.

In addition, 1 drop of ink (photosensitive resin composition) for forming the colored region is dropped on a clean glass substrate placed horizontally, the glass substrate is tilted 45 ° from the horizontal, and the drop is allowed to flow down, The photosensitive resin composition is preferably a photosensitive resin composition having a haze value of 2 or less when the film thickness of the expanded portion is converted to 1 μm in the expanded portion of the photosensitive resin composition after baking at 100 ° C. for 3 minutes.
Examples of the photosensitive resin composition include the compositions described in paragraph numbers [0006] to [0059] of JP-A-2003-330174. When this composition is used, a color filter having good in-plane uniformity of film thickness and no unevenness can be formed.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the contrast of the colored pixel formed with ink is 2000 or more. As a method for increasing the contrast, there is a method described in paragraph [0025] of JP-A-2005-25206. A display device using a color filter having a high contrast can be used as an EBU standard TV liquid crystal display device having excellent color reproducibility.

  In producing a color filter, three color filters are formed by ejecting ink of three RGB colors, usually by an ink jet method. This color filter is used as a display element in combination with a liquid crystal display element, an electrophoretic display element, an electrochromic display element, PLZT, or the like. It can also be used for applications using color cameras and other color filters.

  In the optical element of the present invention including a color filter, defects such as bleeding and protrusion of each color ink and color mixing with adjacent pixels are effectively suppressed.

  The optical element of the present invention is used in various display devices as described above, and is also suitable as a liquid crystal display element in which a liquid crystal material is sealed between a pair of opposed substrates.

  Further, when the optical element of the present invention is configured as a color filter, for example, it is formed on a counter substrate (a substrate on which there is no active element such as TFT) of a liquid crystal display device described later, or formed on the TFT substrate side. This can be applied to the COA method in which the black substrate is formed on the TFT substrate side, or the HA method in which the TFT substrate has a high aperture structure.

  An overcoat film and a transparent conductive film can be further formed on the color filter as necessary.

<Display device>
The display device of the present invention includes the above-described display element (including a color filter) of the present invention. For example, a display such as a liquid crystal display device, a plasma display display device, an EL display device, or a CRT display device is provided. Devices etc. are included.
