Description

  The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin transfer material, a photospacer and a manufacturing method thereof, a display device substrate, and a display device.

  Conventionally, liquid crystal display devices are widely used in display devices that display high-quality images. In general, a liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal layer disposed between a pair of substrates to enable image display with a predetermined orientation. One of the factors that determine the image quality is to keep the substrate interval, that is, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer uniform. For this purpose, a spacer is provided to keep the thickness of the liquid crystal layer constant. The thickness between the substrates is generally referred to as “cell thickness”. The cell thickness usually indicates the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, in other words, the distance between two electrodes applying an electric field to the liquid crystal in the display region.

  Spacers have been conventionally formed by bead dispersion, but in recent years, spacers with high positional accuracy have been formed by photolithography using a photosensitive resin composition. A spacer formed using such a photosensitive resin composition is called a photospacer.

  For the photospacer produced through patterning, alkali development, and baking using the photosensitive resin composition, it is necessary to make the height of the photospacer uniform in order to make the cell thickness constant. Since the coating film thickness when the photosensitive resin composition is applied is not uniform, it is very difficult to make the height uniform.

  The reason why the coating film thickness is not uniform is that the coating liquid flows when the coating liquid is applied onto the substrate and the solvent is removed through the drying process. The film thickness unevenness generated in this manner is abruptly generated in a region where the film thickness change is narrow, and therefore, it is easily recognized as display unevenness even when the photo spacer is used.

  Up to now, a coloring layer forming coating liquid for forming a colored layer by a slit die coater method for the purpose of forming a uniform colored layer surface with extremely little occurrence of streak unevenness, which has a dynamic surface tension. Has a surface life of 10 ms, and a coating solution for forming a colored layer is disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1), characterized in that it is in the range of 31 mN / m to 50 mN / m.

  In addition, for the purpose of obtaining a uniform coating film surface with extremely little occurrence of streak unevenness, in the method for producing a coating film using a slit die coater die, a specific capillary number (Ca), A coating film manufacturing method is disclosed in which a coating film is formed by setting a specific dimensionless film thickness (X) to satisfy a predetermined relationship (for example, Patent Document 2). reference.).

  On the other hand, a photosensitive resin composition layer is formed on a support and formed into a film, and only the photosensitive resin composition layer is thermocompression-bonded and transferred onto a substrate to form the photosensitive resin composition layer. Transfer materials have been proposed and used. When using the photosensitive resin transfer material, the cover film provided for protecting the photosensitive resin composition layer is peeled off. At this time, there was a problem that a defect occurred in which a part of the photosensitive resin composition layer was transferred to the cover film. In addition, there is a problem that this defect is likely to occur gradually with the lapse of time after the production of the photosensitive resin transfer material.
