Description

  The present invention relates to a red coloring composition containing a dye and a pigment, and particularly relates to a red coloring composition suitable for producing a color filter having high contrast and high transmittance, and a color filter using the same.

  In recent years, liquid crystal display devices have been evaluated for space saving, light weight, power saving, and the like due to their thinness, and recently they have been rapidly spread to television applications. For television applications, it is required to further improve performance such as luminance and contrast, and further enhancement of brightness and contrast is desired for color filters that are members of liquid crystal display devices.

Conventionally, the red filter segment constituting the color filter includes C.I., which is an anthraquinone red pigment. I. PigmentRed 177 has been used. This pigment can be easily miniaturized by a mechanical treatment, and the finer pigment can be dispersed relatively easily, which is useful for increasing the contrast (for example, Patent Documents). 1). However, there is a limit to the brightness improvement in terms of spectral characteristics.
C. I. PigmentRed 254 is often used. This pigment is C.I. I. Since the transmission spectrum in the vicinity of 600 nm is closer to the short wavelength side than PigmentRed 177, the absorption of the red bright line of the backlight is less, and thus the brightness can be improved. However, miniaturization by mechanical processing is easy, but since the cohesive force is strong, it becomes difficult to disperse as the degree of miniaturization progresses, and it is not easy to improve contrast (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Recently, it contains a diketopyrrolopyrrole red pigment, an anthraquinone red pigment, and an azo yellow pigment, and by reducing the average primary particle size of each pigment, it has a high transmittance and a high contrast red coloring composition. Has been attempted (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment becomes difficult to disperse as the degree of fineness proceeds as described above, and further, in the post-baking step in the step of forming the red colored layer by curing the red colored composition, the diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment is used. The pigment precipitates. The precipitated crystal causes a decrease in contrast by scattering and depolarizing light in the liquid crystal display device, and further causes a decrease in reliability such as liquid crystal contamination. Therefore, there is a limit to improving the contrast by miniaturization, and it has been difficult to obtain a red colored layer having high transmittance, high contrast, and high reliability (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  On the other hand, an attempt has been made to achieve high contrast and high transmittance by using a dye instead of a depolarizing pigment. There are many types of dyes, unlike pigments, and high transmittance can be achieved by using dyes with optimal spectral characteristics, and depolarization is virtually zero and high contrast can be obtained. A liquid crystal display device having favorable visual characteristics can be manufactured by using it for manufacturing a color filter.

However, dyes have poor heat resistance and light resistance, and have problems such as extreme fading when subjected to baking at a high temperature in the production process. Also, when used as a negative resist using radical polymerization, it is difficult to obtain sufficient sensitivity because the dye acts as a so-called “radical eater” that deactivates radicals. In order to solve this problem, attempts have been made to obtain a highly sensitive resist by adding a polyfunctional thiol to a dye resist and using an ene-thiol reaction. Low,
It was insufficient for use in a color filter for liquid crystal display devices (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4).

  An object of the present invention is to provide a color filter having high contrast and high transmittance and good visual characteristics, and a red coloring composition containing a dye and a pigment capable of providing the color filter with high productivity.

  The present invention is a red coloring composition containing A) a color material, B) a binder resin, C) a radical polymerizable monomer, D) a photo radical generator, and E) a polyfunctional thiol, wherein the A) color material The red coloring composition is characterized in that it contains at least one pigment and one dye, and E) the polyfunctional thiol is 1% by mass to 10% by mass in the total solid content.

  Further, the present invention provides the red coloring composition according to the above invention, wherein A) the coloring material is 10% by mass to 60% by mass in the total solid content, and A) the dye is 30% by mass in the total coloring material mass. It is a red coloring composition characterized by being within.

  The present invention also provides the red coloring composition according to the above invention, wherein the dye contains a dye having an azo skeleton or a metal complex of a dye having an azo skeleton.

  The present invention also provides the red coloring composition according to the invention, wherein the dye is C.I. I. Solvent Red 124, or C.I. I. It is Solvent 89, It is a red coloring composition characterized by the above-mentioned.

  Further, the present invention provides the red coloring composition according to the above invention, wherein the pigment is at least one selected from diketopyrrolopyrrole red pigments, anthraquinone red pigments, azo yellow pigments, and isoindoline yellow pigments. It is a red coloring composition characterized by containing the pigment of this.

  The present invention also provides the red coloring composition according to the above invention, wherein the diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment is C.I. I. Pigment Red 254, an anthraquinone red pigment is C.I. I. Pigment 177, an azo yellow pigment, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 150, an isoindoline-based yellow pigment is C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 139, which is a red coloring composition.

Moreover, this invention is the color filter manufactured using the red coloring composition of any one of Claims 1-6.

In the present invention, by using a dye and a pigment in combination as a coloring material, high contrast and high brightness that cannot be achieved by a pigment alone can be obtained. Furthermore, by containing a polyfunctional thiol, the reduction in sensitivity due to the dye is compensated and a highly sensitive red coloring composition is obtained.
Further, A) content is suitably 10% to 60%. If it is 15% or less, the film thickness of the coating film becomes too thick to obtain a practical color strength, so that it is difficult to form the film and the productivity is also deteriorated. On the other hand, if it is 60% or more, other components necessary as a resist are insufficient, sensitivity cannot be obtained, and the film shape deteriorates.

  As the dye, a dye having an azo skeleton or a cobalt complex thereof is preferable. I. Solvent Red124, C.I. I. Solvent 89 is good. As the pigment, a red pigment and a yellow pigment are preferably used. I. Pigment Red 254, and C.I. I. Pigment 177, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 150, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 139 is good.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
The red coloring composition according to the present invention is a red coloring composition containing a coloring material, a binder resin, a radical polymerizable monomer, a photo radical generator, and a polyfunctional thiol. As the coloring material, at least one pigment and one kind are used. Containing a dye. In addition, it contains a dispersion aid, a photopolymerization initiator, a sensitizer, a leveling agent and the like as necessary.

  The aforementioned polyfunctional thiol compensates for a decrease in sensitivity due to inhibition of dye polymerization by a chain transfer reaction, and may be any compound having two or more thiol groups, such as hexanedithiol, decanedithiol, 1,4-butane. Diol bisthiopropionate, 1,4-butanediol bisthioglycolate, ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate, ethylene glycol bisthiopropionate, trimethylolpropane tristhioglycolate, trimethylolpropane tristhiopropionate, Trimethylolpropane tris (3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tetrakisthioglycolate, pentaerythritol tetrakisthiopropionate, trimercaptopropionic acid tris (2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, Examples thereof include 1,4-dimethylmercaptobenzene, 2,4,6-trimercapto-s-triazine, 2- (N, N-dibutylamino) -4,6-dimercapto-s-triazine. These polyfunctional thiols can be used alone or in combination. The content is 1% by mass to 10% by mass in the total solid content. If the amount is less than 1% by mass, the sensitivity cannot be sufficiently compensated. If the amount is 10% by mass or more, the amount of the transparent solid component such as a monomer or a binder resin is decreased, which causes a decrease in transmittance.

The content of the coloring material is preferably 10% by mass to 60% by mass, and more preferably 20% by mass to 50% by mass in the total solid content. If it is 10% by mass or less, the film thickness becomes too thick to obtain a practical color strength, so that film formation becomes difficult and productivity is also deteriorated. On the other hand, when the amount is 60% by mass or more, other components such as a monomer, a binder resin, and a polymerization initiator that are necessary as a resist are insufficient, and sensitivity cannot be obtained, resulting in deterioration of the film shape and sensitivity. Among the color materials, the dye content is preferably within 50% by mass of the total color material amount. More preferably, it is 30 mass% or less. If it is 50% by mass or more, the sensitivity is remarkably lowered due to inhibition of dye polymerization, making it difficult to use.

Among them, dyes having an azo skeleton and metal complexes of dyes having an azo skeleton are excellent in terms of coloring power and solubility. I. SolventRed 124, C.I. I. Solvent 89 is a good dye for red coloring compositions.

It is not particularly limited as long as it can be dissolved as a solution, but it needs solubility, absorbance, interaction with other components in the curable composition, light resistance, heat resistance, etc. in an organic solvent or developer. It is selected in consideration of all the performance to be performed.
The salt of the said acid dye and a nitrogen-containing compound is demonstrated. The method of forming a salt of an acid dye and a nitrogen-containing compound may be effective for improving the solubility of the acid dye (providing solubility in an organic solvent) and improving heat resistance and light resistance.

  The nitrogen-containing compound that forms a salt with the acid dye and the nitrogen-containing compound that forms an amide bond with the acid dye will be described. Nitrogen-containing compounds are the solubility of salts or amide compounds in organic solvents and developers, salt-forming properties, dye absorbance / color value, interaction with other components in the curable composition, and heat resistance as a colorant. In addition, it is selected in consideration of all of light resistance and the like. When selecting only from the viewpoint of absorbance and color value, the nitrogen-containing compound is preferably as low as possible in molecular weight, more preferably having a molecular weight of 300 or less, more preferably having a molecular weight of 280 or less, and a molecular weight of 250 or less.

When selecting from the standpoint of absorbance only, n is preferably a value between 0 <n ≦ 4.5, more preferably a value between 0 <n ≦ 4, and 0 <n. It is particularly preferable to take a numerical value between ≦ 3.5.
Since the acidic dye shown above has become an acidic dye by introducing an acidic group in its structure, it can be made a non-acidic dye by changing its substituent.

In some cases, the acid dye works favorably during alkali development, but on the other hand, it may become over-developed, and a non-acid dye may be preferably used. As the non-acidic dye, dyes having no acidic group of the acidic dyes exemplified above are preferably used.
As a pigment constituting the red coloring composition for a color filter according to this embodiment, an anthraquinone red pigment, an azo yellow pigment, or the like can be contained as necessary. Examples of the anthraquinone red pigment include C.I. I. PigmentRed 177, and is preferably used because of its excellent light resistance, heat resistance, transparency, and coloring power. Examples of the azo yellow pigment include C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 1, 3, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 55, 81, 83, 93, 94, 95, 97, 150, 154, 166, 167, 180 and the like. Among them, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 150 is particularly preferably used because of its excellent light resistance, heat resistance, transparency, and coloring power.

Note that azo yellow pigments are used for toning, but in general for color filter applications, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 139, isoindoline pigments such as C.I. I. In many cases, a quinophthalone pigment such as Pigment Yellow 138 is used. However, when only these pigments are used, the depolarization attributed to the particle shape or molecular structure of the pigments appears, which is disadvantageous for increasing the contrast.
The content of these two pigments is preferably 60% by weight or less of an anthraquinone red pigment and 30% by weight or less of an azo yellow pigment based on the total weight of the pigment (100% by weight), more preferably The anthraquinone red pigment is preferably 50% by weight or less and the azo yellow pigment is 25% by weight or less. When the anthraquinone red pigment exceeds 60% by weight, it is difficult to obtain sufficient brightness. On the other hand, when the content of the azo yellow pigment exceeds 30% by weight, the color reproducibility tends to be deteriorated because the hue is excessively shifted to yellow.

  Examples of the diketopyrrolopyrrole red pigment include C.I. I. Pigment Orange 71, C.I. I. Pigment Red 254, 255, 264 and the like. Among them, C.I. I. PigmentRed 254 is particularly preferably used because of its excellent light resistance, transparency, and coloring power.

  As a means for reducing the primary particle size of the pigment, a method of mechanically pulverizing the pigment (referred to as a grinding method), a solution dissolved in a good solvent is introduced into a poor solvent, and a pigment having a desired primary particle size is precipitated. And a method of producing a pigment having a desired primary particle size at the time of synthesis (referred to as a synthetic precipitation method). Depending on the synthesis method and chemical properties of the pigment used, an appropriate method can be selected for each pigment. Each method will be described below.

  In the grinding method, the pigment is mechanically kneaded with a grinding agent such as water-soluble inorganic salt such as salt and a water-soluble organic solvent that does not dissolve it using a ball mill, sand mill, or kneader (hereinafter, this process is salted). In this method, the inorganic salt and the organic solvent are washed away with water and dried to obtain a pigment having a desired specific surface area. However, since the pigment may crystallize due to the salt milling treatment, a method of preventing crystal growth by adding a solid resin that is at least partially dissolved in the water-soluble organic solvent or a dispersion aid described later during the treatment is effective. It is.

  As for the ratio of the pigment to the inorganic salt, if the ratio of the inorganic salt is increased, the efficiency of refining the pigment is improved. In general, the inorganic salt is used in an amount of 1 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 20 parts by weight, based on 1 part by weight of the pigment. Further, the water-soluble organic solvent is added so that the pigment and the inorganic salt are uniformly hardened, and usually depends on the blending ratio of the pigment and the inorganic salt, but the amount of the pigment is usually 50 to 300% by weight. Used.

  The grinding method will be explained in more detail. A small amount of a water-soluble organic solvent is added as a wetting agent to a mixture of a pigment and a water-soluble inorganic salt, and after kneading with a kneader or the like, the mixture is put into water and high-speed. Agitate with a mixer to make a slurry. Next, a pigment having a desired primary particle size can be obtained by filtering, washing, and drying the slurry.

  The precipitation method is a method in which a pigment is dissolved in an appropriate good solvent and then mixed with a poor solvent to precipitate a pigment having a desired primary particle size. The primary method depends on the type and amount of the solvent, the precipitation temperature, the precipitation rate, etc. The particle size can be controlled. In general, pigments are difficult to dissolve in a solvent, so the solvents that can be used are limited. For example, strongly acidic solvents such as concentrated sulfuric acid, polyphosphoric acid, and chlorosulfonic acid, or bases such as dimethylformamide solution of liquid ammonia and sodium methylate Solvents and the like are known.

  As a typical example of the precipitation method, there is an acid pasting method in which a solution in which a pigment is dissolved in an acidic solvent is poured into another solvent and reprecipitated to obtain fine particles. Industrially, a method of injecting a sulfuric acid solution into water is generally used from the viewpoint of cost. The sulfuric acid concentration is not particularly limited, but is preferably 95 to 100% by weight. The amount of sulfuric acid used with respect to the pigment is not particularly limited. However, if the amount is too small, the solution viscosity is high and handling becomes poor. Conversely, if the amount is too large, the treatment efficiency of the pigment decreases. It is preferable to use sulfuric acid. The pigment need not be completely dissolved. The temperature at the time of dissolution is preferably 0 to 50 ° C., and if it is lower than 0 ° C., the sulfuric acid may be frozen and the solubility is also lowered. If the temperature is too high, side reactions tend to occur. The temperature of the water to be injected is preferably 1 to 60 ° C., and if the injection is started at a temperature higher than this temperature, it boils with the heat of dissolution of sulfuric acid, which is dangerous. It will freeze at temperatures below this. The injection time is preferably 0.1 to 30 minutes with respect to 1 part by weight of the pigment.

  The primary particle size of the pigment can be controlled while taking into consideration the degree of sizing of the pigment by selecting a method that combines a precipitation method such as the acid pasting method and a grinding method such as the salt milling method. Is more preferable because the fluidity as a dispersion can be secured at this time. At the time of salt milling or acid pasting, a dispersion aid such as a pigment derivative, a resin-type dispersant, or a surfactant described later can be used in combination in order to prevent pigment aggregation associated with primary particle size control. In addition, by controlling the primary particle size in the form of coexistence of two or more pigments, even a pigment that is difficult to disperse alone can be finished as a stable dispersion.

The synthetic precipitation method is a method of synthesizing a pigment and simultaneously depositing a pigment having a desired primary particle size. However, when the produced fine pigment is taken out from the solvent, if the pigment particles are not aggregated into large secondary particles, filtration, which is a general separation method, becomes difficult. It is applied to azo pigments that are easily synthesized in water.
Furthermore, as a means for controlling the primary particle diameter of the pigment, the primary particle diameter of the pigment is reduced and dispersed simultaneously by dispersing the pigment for a long time with a high-speed sand mill or the like (so-called dry milling method in which the pigment is dry-pulverized). It is also possible.

  The binder resin and radical polymerizable monomer contained in the red coloring composition for a color filter according to the present embodiment are for dispersing or dissolving the pigment and the dye, and the binder resin, the precursor monomer, or a mixture thereof. Consists of. The binder resin is preferably a resin having a transmittance of 80% or more, preferably 95% or more in the entire wavelength region of 400 to 700 nm in the visible light region. Binder resins include thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins, and active energy ray curable resins, and precursors thereof include monomers or oligomers that cure upon irradiation with active energy rays to form transparent resins. These can be used alone or in admixture of two or more.

  The binder resin and the radical polymerizable monomer can be used in an amount of 30 to 700 parts by weight, preferably 60 to 450 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total color material in the red coloring composition. Moreover, when using the mixture of binder resin and its precursor, binder resin is 20-400 weight part with respect to a total of 100 weight part of the coloring material in a red coloring composition, Preferably it is 50-250 weight. It can be used in parts. The precursor of the binder resin can be used in an amount of 10 to 300 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 200 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the total color material in the red coloring composition.

After coating the red coloring composition shown in Table 3 on a glass substrate by spin coating, it was pre-baked at 70 ° C. for 20 minutes in a clean oven. Next, the substrate was cooled to room temperature and then exposed to ultraviolet rays using an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp.

Thereafter, post-baking was performed at 230 ° C. for 60 minutes in a clean oven to obtain a red coating film. The film thickness of the dried coating film was 1.8 μm in all cases.

[Sensitivity evaluation]
The sensitivity of each red coloring composition shown in Table 3 was evaluated as follows. That is, first, the obtained photosensitive composition was applied onto a glass substrate by spin coating, and then prebaked at 70 ° C. for 15 minutes to form a coating film having a thickness of 2.3 μm. Next, UV exposure was performed through a photomask having a 50 μm fine line pattern by a proximity exposure method using UV as an exposure light source. The exposure amount was set to 8 levels of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 mJ / cm ² .

The results are shown in Table 4.

(Patternability evaluation)

Next, ultraviolet exposure was performed through a photomask provided with a stripe pattern having a line width of 6 to 20 μm by a proximity exposure method using ultraviolet light as an exposure light source. The exposure amount was the saturation exposure amount described above.

  Next, it was washed with water after shower development using a 1.25% by mass sodium carbonate solution.

The results are shown in Table 4.

In Example 1, the dye C.I. I. Solvent 89 is contained in 14% by mass of the total mass of the color material, and achieves higher brightness and contrast than Comparative Example 1 containing no dye. Moreover, polyfunctional thiol contained 3.0% in the total solid content, and was sufficient exposure sensitivity. Similarly in Example 2, the dye was 12% by mass in the coloring material, and the brightness was higher than that of Comparative Example 1. In Example 3, the multifunctional thiol contained 7.3% by mass in the total solid content, and high sensitivity was realized. In Example 4, C.I. I. A combination of Solvent 89 and Pigment Yellow 139, including C.I. I. 50% by mass of Solvent 89 is contained. Pigment
Compared with Comparative Example 2 prepared in the same hue with a combination of Red 177 and Pigment Yellow 139, the brightness and contrast are high. In Comparative Example 3, since the dye content was as high as 60% by mass in the coloring material, the sensitivity was insufficient even when polyfunctional thiol was contained. In Comparative Example 4, the content of thiol was small, and in Comparative Example 5, since no thiol was contained, the sensitivity was insufficient and a rectangular pattern could not be formed.
