[Color filter]
The color filter of the present invention is a color filter comprising at least one red filter segment, at least one green filter segment, and at least one blue filter segment, wherein at least one of the blue filter segments is a blue color for a color filter of the present invention. It is formed from a coloring composition.

[Blue filter segment]
The blue filter segment of the color filter of the present invention contains at least a phthalocyanine blue pigment and a dye represented by the general formula (1) as a colorant as described above. Such a blue filter segment can be formed using the blue coloring composition for color filters of the present invention described above. As a formation method, any one of publicly known or well-known methods for forming a conventional color filter segment, such as a printing method, an ink jet method, and a photolithography method, may be employed depending on the composition of the blue coloring composition. .

  The dye represented by the general formula (1) has a high transmittance in the vicinity of 450 to 480 nm and a strong light absorption in the vicinity of 500 to 550 nm in the transmittance characteristic. It is possible to cut. Conventionally, in a display device using a cold cathode tube type backlight as a light source, a dioxazine pigment has been used as a colorant together with a copper phthalocyanine blue pigment in a blue coloring composition for forming a blue filter segment. Although good color developability can be obtained by cutting light in the region near 500 to 550 nm, dioxazine pigments are not capable of cutting light in the region from 500 to 550 nm. In order to form a blue filter segment using a blue coloring composition for a color filter using a copper phthalocyanine blue pigment and a dioxazine pigment, the film thickness of the color filter is increased in order to cut light in the region of 500 to 550 nm. There was a need. The dioxazine-based pigment has a light absorption larger than the region of 500 to 550 nm in the vicinity of 460 nm. For this reason, the transmittance near the peak near 460 nm also decreases due to the increase in thickness, and as a result, the brightness of the color filter decreases.

  On the other hand, by combining the dye represented by the general formula (1) with a copper phthalocyanine blue pigment, a color filter having a brightness and a color display region far superior to those of conventional color filter coloring compositions is obtained. It became possible. In order to reproduce colors at a relatively high density near standard areas such as sRGB and NTSC in the CIE chromaticity coordinates, the blue filter segment needs to have an optimum hue. In order to reproduce colors in the vicinity of the standard region, a certain amount of phthalocyanine blue pigment having high coloring power and high lightness is necessary. However, the dye represented by the general formula (1) is based on 100 parts by weight of phthalocyanine blue pigment. When the amount is more than 150 parts by weight, high brightness is exhibited, but a wide color display area cannot be achieved. On the other hand, when the amount of the dye represented by the general formula (1) is less than 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the phthalocyanine blue pigment, a wide color display area can be achieved, but high brightness cannot be achieved. The phthalocyanine blue pigment used as the colorant of the present invention has a transmittance of 80% or more in the region of 450 nm in the transmission spectrum, a transmittance of 70% or more in the region of 500 nm, and a transmittance of 30 in the region of 550 to 600 nm. % Or less is preferred.

In order to achieve high brightness and a wide color display area, the present inventors have made extensive studies, and as a result, a color filter comprising a phthalocyanine blue pigment and a dye represented by the general formula (1) as a blue filter segment as described above. The conventional problem can be solved by using the blue coloring composition.

[Manufacture of color filters]
Below, the manufacturing method of the color filter using the coloring composition of this invention is demonstrated.
The color filter of the present invention includes a filter segment on a substrate, and can include, for example, a black matrix and red, green, and blue filter segments. The said filter segment can be formed on a board | substrate by apply | coating the coloring composition of this invention by a spin coat system or a die coat system, for example. At this time, each segment can be formed using a photolithography technique using a colored composition containing a monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, and the like. Each segment can also be formed by a printing method. As a printing method at this time, a conventional well-known printing method or an inkjet method can be used.

  As a substrate of the color filter, a substrate having a high transmittance for visible light, for example, a glass plate such as soda lime glass, low alkali borosilicate glass, non-alkali aluminoborosilicate glass, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethylene A resin plate such as terephthalate is used. In addition, a transparent electrode made of indium oxide, tin oxide, or the like may be formed on the surface of the glass plate or the resin plate in order to drive the liquid crystal after forming the panel.

  When forming a filter segment, when using a photocurable coloring composition (coloring resist) containing a monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, etc., the coloring composition film is developed after exposure. As the developer, a known alkali developer conventionally used for developing a photosensitive resin, for example, an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or the like, or an organic alkali such as dimethylbenzylamine, triethanolamine or the like is used. Can do. Moreover, an antifoamer and surfactant can also be added to a developing solution. As a development processing method, a shower development method, a spray development method, a dip (immersion) development method, a paddle (liquid accumulation) development method, or the like can be applied.

  In order to increase the UV exposure sensitivity, after coating and drying the colored composition, a water-soluble or alkali-soluble resin such as polyvinyl alcohol or water-soluble acrylic resin is applied and dried to form a film that prevents polymerization inhibition by oxygen. Then, ultraviolet exposure can be performed.

  If the black matrix is formed in advance before forming the filter segment on the transparent substrate or the reflective substrate, the contrast of the liquid crystal display panel can be further increased. As the black matrix, a chromium, chromium / chromium oxide multilayer film, an inorganic film such as titanium nitride, or a resin film in which a light-shielding agent is dispersed is used, but is not limited thereto. Further, a thin film transistor (TFT) may be formed in advance on the transparent substrate or the reflective substrate, and then a filter segment may be formed. By forming the filter segment on the TFT substrate, the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel can be increased and the luminance can be improved.

An overcoat film, a columnar spacer, a transparent conductive film, a liquid crystal alignment film, and the like are formed on the color filter as necessary.
For example, in the case where a color filter is provided on the TFT substrate, the TFT substrate provided with the color filter is bonded to the counter substrate using a sealant, and after injecting liquid crystal from the injection port provided in the seal portion, the injection port is set. A liquid crystal display panel is manufactured by sealing and attaching a polarizing film or a retardation film to the outside of the substrate as necessary. If a color filter is formed on the counter substrate, the counter substrate on which the color filter is formed is bonded to the control substrate using a sealant, and liquid crystal is injected from an injection port provided in the seal portion. A liquid crystal display panel is manufactured by sealing the entrance and attaching a polarizing film or a retardation film to the outside of the substrate as necessary.

  Such liquid crystal display panels include twisted nematic (TN), super twisted nematic (STN), in-plane switching (IPS), vertical alignment (VA), and optically convented bend (OCB). It can be used for a liquid crystal display mode in which colorization is performed using a color filter.

[Example 1]
Using the spin resister on the 100 mm × 100 mm, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate, the CIE chromaticity coordinates are x = 0.640 and y = 0.330. Applied. After drying, striped pattern exposure was performed with an exposure device with an integrated light amount of 150 mJ, and development was performed with an alkaline developer for 90 seconds to form a striped red filter segment. The alkali developer was 0.15% by weight of sodium carbonate, 0.05% by weight of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 0.1% by weight of an anionic surfactant (“PERILEX NBL” manufactured by Kao) and 99.7% of water. Consists of% by weight. The coated substrate was heated and allowed to cool, and then the green resist was coated to a thickness such that x = 0.300 and y = 0.600 in the same manner as the red resist. After drying, a striped pattern adjacent to the red filter segment was exposed with an exposure machine and developed with an alkaline developer for 90 seconds to form a striped green filter segment.

Further, in the same manner as the red resist, the blue resist 1 was applied so as to have a transmittance of 6% at 550 nm. After drying, striped pattern exposure was performed with an exposure machine and development was performed with an alkaline developer for 90 seconds to form striped blue filter segments adjacent to the red and green filter segments. A color filter having filter segments in the form of stripes of three colors of red, green, and blue on a transparent substrate was obtained. In addition, the transmission spectrum of the blue segment part of the obtained coating film was measured using the microspectrophotometer ("OSP-SP100" by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 3.
The thing with the high transmittance | permeability in 470 nm which is a blue region was judged to be high brightness.

[Examples 2 to 10, Comparative Example 1]
Color filters of Examples 2 to 10 and Comparative Example 1 were produced in the same manner as Example 1 using the blue resists 2 to 10 and the comparative blue resist 1 instead of the blue resist 1. In the same manner as in Example 1, the transmission spectrum of the blue filter segment portion was measured with a microspectrophotometer. The results are shown in Table 3.

  Comparing Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Example 1, the resist containing the dye represented by the general formula (1) has a higher transmittance than the resist containing the dioxazine pigment that has been suitably used conventionally. It can be seen that it is advantageous for brightness. From this, it can be said that the coloring composition for color filters containing the phthalocyanine blue pigment and the dye represented by the general formula (1) is excellent.
