Description

  The present invention relates to a colored composition for a color filter used for manufacturing a color filter used for a color liquid crystal display device, a color image pickup tube element, and the like, and a color filter including a filter segment formed using the same. is there.

  The color liquid crystal display device controls the amount of light passing through the second polarizing plate by controlling the degree of polarization of the light that has passed through the first polarizing plate by the liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the two polarizing plates. This is a display device that performs display, and a type using a twisted nematic (TN) type liquid crystal is mainly used. The liquid crystal display device can perform color display by providing a color filter between two polarizing plates. Therefore, liquid crystal display devices are being developed for use in televisions and personal computer monitors.

Other typical liquid crystal display devices include an in-plane switching (IPS) method in which a pair of electrodes is provided on one substrate and electrolysis is applied in a direction parallel to the substrate, negative dielectric anisotropy Vertical alignment (VA) method for vertically aligning nematic liquid crystal with optical properties, and Optical Convencence Bend (OCB) method in which the optical axes of uniaxial retardation films are orthogonal to each other to perform optical compensation Etc., and each has been put to practical use.

  In general, the color filter is a red filter layer (R), green filter layer (G) and blue filter layer (B) formed on the surface of a transparent substrate such as glass, or a complementary color of red, green and blue. Corresponding fine band (striped) filter segments (pixels) composed of a cyan filter layer (C), a magenta filter layer (M), and a yellow color filter layer (Y) are arranged in parallel or crossing each other. Or fine filter segments arranged in a constant vertical and horizontal arrangement. The filter segments are as fine as several microns to several hundreds of microns, and are regularly arranged in a predetermined arrangement for each hue.

  On the color filter used in the color liquid crystal display device, a transparent electrode for driving the liquid crystal is generally formed by vapor deposition or sputtering, and an alignment film for aligning the liquid crystal in a certain direction is formed thereon. Has been. In order to sufficiently obtain the performance of these transparent electrodes and alignment films, it is necessary to perform the formation process at a high temperature of generally 200 ° C. or higher, preferably 230 ° C. or higher.

  Quality items required for the color filter include brightness and contrast ratio. When a color filter with a low contrast ratio is used, the degree of polarization controlled by the liquid crystal is disturbed, and when light must be blocked (OFF state), light must leak or be transmitted (ON) In other words, the transmitted light is attenuated in the state), resulting in a blurred screen. Therefore, in order to realize a high-quality liquid crystal display device, high contrast is indispensable.

  If a color filter with low brightness is used, the light transmittance is low, resulting in a dark screen. In order to obtain a bright screen, it is necessary to increase the number of backlights as light sources. For this reason, from the viewpoint of suppressing an increase in power consumption, increasing the brightness of color filters has become a trend. Furthermore, as described above, since the color liquid crystal device has been used for televisions, personal computer monitors, and the like, the demand for high reliability and high lightness and contrast for color filters has also increased.

  The color filter production method includes a dyeing method using a dye or a salt-forming dye as a colorant, a dye dispersion method, a pigment dispersion method using a pigment as a colorant, a printing method, and an electrodeposition method. Among these, the dyeing method or the dye dispersion method has a drawback that the heat resistance and light resistance are slightly inferior because the colorant is a dye. Therefore, a pigment having excellent heat resistance and light resistance is used as a colorant for the color filter, and a pigment dispersion method is often used as a manufacturing method because of the accuracy and stability of the forming method.

  In the pigment dispersion method, a color resist is formed by mixing and preparing a photosensitizer and additives in a pigment in which pigment particles as a colorant are dispersed in a transparent resin, and this color resist is applied on a substrate such as a spin coater. It is a method for forming a color filter by forming a coating film with an apparatus, selectively exposing through a mask with an aligner, a stepper, etc., patterning by alkali development and thermosetting, and repeating this operation. .

  In general, the pigment particles are subjected to a micronization treatment and a pigment dispersion in which the micronized pigment is brought close to the primary particles as much as possible is used to suppress light scattering by the pigment and achieve high contrast. In addition, since the transparency of the dispersion is improved, the spectral spectrum of the dispersion has high transmittance, and high brightness is realized. By using this dispersion as a color resist, a color filter having high contrast and high brightness can be obtained.

As a colorant used for forming a red filter segment (pixel) in a color filter, a diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment having excellent durability and color tone is often used. Diketopyrrolopyrrole pigments are red to orange pigments, have excellent light resistance and heat resistance, have a spectral spectrum suitable for red color filters, and have high transparency. It is a preferable pigment as a pigment.
In the case of a red coloring composition for a color filter using only a pigment, a sulfonic acid group-containing compound having an acidic substituent or a sulfonamide compound having a basic substituent is used for the purpose of improving contrast by improving the dispersibility of the red pigment. The addition is conventionally known.

  In a display device such as a liquid crystal display device using a conventional cold cathode tube type backlight, high brightness and a wide color display area are achieved by combining a red filter segment with a diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment and a dioxazine pigment. Was able to. However, as described above, the color filter is required to have higher brightness and a wider color reproduction region.

  In order to solve the above problems, a technique has been proposed in which a dye, not a pigment, is dissolved as a colorant in a resin or the like (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, xanthene dyes are known as dyes exhibiting magenta color. Among them, xanthene dyes have excellent spectral characteristics and are therefore often used for magenta color filters (for example, patents). Reference 2).

  However, because of the high solubility of the dye, it was expected that a color filter with a high contrast ratio could be obtained without the occurrence of scattering, etc. as seen when using only pigments. When a fluorescent dye is used, there is a problem that the contrast ratio is low (see, for example, Patent Document 3), and a color filter that can achieve both high brightness and high contrast ratio has not been realized. It was.

[Miniaturization of pigment]
The red pigment [A1] used in the red coloring composition of the present invention or other pigments that can be used in combination can be refined by performing a salt milling treatment. The primary particle diameter of the pigment is preferably 20 nm or more because of good dispersion in the colorant carrier.

A particularly preferable range is a range of 25 to 85 nm.
The primary particle diameter of the pigment was measured by directly measuring the size of the primary particle from an electron micrograph of the pigment using a TEM (transmission electron microscope). Specifically, for 100 or more pigment particles, the minor axis diameter and major axis diameter of the primary particles of each pigment were measured, and the average was taken as the particle diameter of the pigment particles.

  The water-soluble organic solvent functions to wet the pigment and the water-soluble inorganic salt, and is not particularly limited as long as it dissolves (mixes) in water and does not substantially dissolve the inorganic salt to be used. However, a high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 120 ° C. or higher is preferable from the viewpoint of safety because the temperature rises during salt milling and the solvent is easily evaporated. For example, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2- (isopentyloxy) ethanol, 2- (hexyloxy) ethanol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, Liquid polyethylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, liquid polypropylene glycol and the like are used. The water-soluble organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 5 to 1000% by weight, and most preferably 50 to 500% by weight, based on the total weight of the pigment (100% by weight).

  Xanthene-based basic dyes also have spectral characteristics with high transmittance at 400 to 450 nm, but display images using color filters that are further poor in light resistance and heat resistance and require high reliability. Its properties are not sufficient for use in devices. Therefore, in order to improve the drawbacks of these dyes, it is preferable to use xanthene-based basic dyes as compounds that are salified with an organic acid. As the organic acid, organic sulfonic acid or organic carboxylic acid is preferably used.

  Among these, as the xanthene dye [A2] that can be preferably used in the present invention, it is preferable to use a xanthene acid dye or a xanthene oil-soluble dye, and in particular, a counter component that functions as a counter ion.

Is. That is, it is necessary not to inhibit color development of the dye component and to cause no color change.

It is preferable that the molecular weight of the counter part which is a cation component of a quaternary ammonium salt compound is in the range of 190-900. Here, the cation moiety corresponds to the (NR ₁ R ₂ R ₃ R ₄ ) + moiety in the following general formula (5). When the molecular weight is smaller than 190, light resistance and heat resistance are lowered, and further, solubility in a solvent is lowered. On the other hand, when the molecular weight is larger than 900, the ratio of the color developing component in the molecule is lowered, the color developability is lowered, and the lightness is also lowered. More preferably, the molecular weight of the counter portion is in the range of 240-850. Particularly preferred is a counter portion with a molecular weight in the range of 350-800.

R ₁ to R ₄ in by the a 5 to 20 the number of at least two and C, solubility in solvents is improved. When the number of alkyl groups having a C number of less than 5 is 3 or more, solubility in a solvent is deteriorated, and coating film foreign matter is likely to be generated. Further, if there is an alkyl group in which the number of C exceeds 20, the color forming property of the salt-forming compound is impaired.

The reason why the salt-forming compound becomes favorable when used in combination with the red pigment is that it is adsorbed to the red pigment while being dissolved and dispersed in the solvent. From such a viewpoint, the primary particle diameter of the red pigment is preferably 20 to 100 nm.

(Sulphonic acid amide compound of xanthene acid dye)
A sulfonic acid amide compound of a xanthene-based acid dye that can be preferably used for the xanthene-based dye of the present invention is obtained by chlorinating a xanthene-based acid dye having —SO ₃ H and —SO ₃ Na by a conventional method, to obtain —SO ₃ H was a -SO ₂ Cl, the compound may be prepared by reacting an amine with a -NH ₂ group.

What is necessary is just to obtain the sulfonic acid amide compound of Acid Red 289.

  The usage ratio of the red pigment [A1] and the xanthene dye [A2] is preferably 1 to 50 parts by weight of the xanthene dye [A2] with respect to 100 parts by weight of the red pigment [A1]. More preferably, it is 5-35 weight part.

By a coating method such as coating, slit coating, roll coating or the like, the coating is applied so that the dry film thickness is 0.2 to 5 μm. If necessary, the dried film is exposed to ultraviolet rays through a mask having a predetermined pattern provided in contact with or not in contact with the film. Then, after immersing in a solvent or alkali developer or spraying the developer by spraying or the like to remove the uncured portion to form a desired pattern, the same operation is repeated for other colors to produce a color filter. be able to. Furthermore, in order to accelerate the polymerization of the colored resist material, heating can be performed as necessary. According to the photolithography method, a color filter with higher accuracy than the above printing method can be manufactured.

In development, an aqueous solution such as sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide is used as an alkali developer, and an organic alkali such as dimethylbenzylamine or triethanolamine can also be used. Moreover, an antifoamer and surfactant can also be added to a developing solution.
In order to increase the UV exposure sensitivity, after coating and drying the colored resist material, a water-soluble or alkaline water-soluble resin such as polyvinyl alcohol or a water-soluble acrylic resin is applied and dried to form a film that prevents polymerization inhibition by oxygen. After forming, ultraviolet exposure can also be performed.

  The color filter of the present invention can be produced by an electrodeposition method, a transfer method, or the like in addition to the above method, but the blue coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention can be used in any method. The electrodeposition method is a method for producing a color filter by using a transparent conductive film formed on a substrate and forming each color filter segment on the transparent conductive film by electrophoresis of colloidal particles. . The transfer method is a method in which a filter segment is formed in advance on the surface of a peelable transfer base sheet, and this filter segment is transferred to a desired substrate.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In Examples and Comparative Examples, “part” means “part by weight”, and “%” means wt%.
First, acrylic resin solutions, colorant (xanthene dyes, fine pigments) pigment dispersions, dye-containing resin solutions used in Examples and Comparative Examples, and methods for producing blue and green resist materials used in preparing color filters Moreover, a compound (C) and a compound (D) are shown.
Here, the polymerization average molecular weight (Mw) of the acrylic resin was measured by using TSKgel column (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) and GPC equipped with RI detector (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, HLC-8120GPC) using THF as a developing solvent. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) in terms of polystyrene.
The degree of fineness of the pigment was evaluated by the specific surface area of pigment particles and the average primary particle size. The specific surface area was measured with an automatic vapor adsorption amount measuring apparatus (“BELSORP18” manufactured by Nippon Bell Co., Ltd.) using the BET method of nitrogen adsorption.

A method for measuring the contrast ratio of the coating film will be described.
(Measurement method of contrast ratio of coating film)
The light emitted from the backlight unit for liquid crystal display passes through the polarizing plate, is polarized, passes through the dried coating film of the colored composition applied on the glass substrate, and reaches the polarizing plate. If the polarizing planes of the polarizing plate and the polarizing plate are parallel, light is transmitted through the polarizing plate, but if the polarizing plane is perpendicular, the light is blocked by the polarizing plate. However, when the light polarized by the polarizing plate passes through the dried coating film of the colored composition, scattering by the pigment particles occurs, resulting in deviation in a part of the polarization plane. When the amount of light transmitted through the plate is reduced and the polarizing plate is perpendicular, a part of the light is transmitted through the polarizing plate. This transmitted light was measured as the luminance on the polarizing plate, and the ratio (contrast ratio) between the luminance when the polarizing plate was parallel and the luminance when it was orthogonal was calculated.
(Contrast ratio) = (Luminance when parallel) / (Luminance when direct)

Accordingly, when scattering occurs due to the pigment in the coating film, the brightness when parallel is reduced and the brightness when perpendicular is increased, the contrast ratio is lowered.
A color luminance meter ("BM-5A" manufactured by Topcon Corporation) was used as the luminance meter, and a polarizing plate ("NPF-G1220DUN" manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation) was used as the polarizing plate. In the measurement, a black mask with a 1 cm square hole was applied to the measurement portion in order to block unnecessary light.

(Examples 10 to 19, Comparative Examples 12 to 22; Resist material (R-2 to R-22))
Hereinafter, the alkali developing resist is the same as the resist material (R-1) except that the red coloring composition (DR-1) and the acrylic resin solution 1 are changed to the red coloring composition and the acrylic resin solution shown in Table 5. Materials (R-2 to R-22) were obtained. Table 5 shows the compositions of the resist materials prepared in Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 11.

[Evaluation of resist materials (R-1 to R-22)]
The color characteristics (brightness), contrast ratio, and heat resistance test of the resist materials (R-1 to R-22) obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples were performed by the following methods.

(Evaluation of color characteristics)
Each resist material was coated on a glass substrate so that the red resist material had a thickness x = 0.06 in a C light source, and the substrate was heated at 230 ° C. for 20 minutes. Thereafter, the brightness of the obtained substrate was measured with a microspectrophotometer (“OSP-SP200” manufactured by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 4.

(Contrast ratio evaluation)
The contrast ratio was measured using the same substrate on which the color characteristics were measured. The results are shown in Table 4.

(Method of coating heat resistance test)
A resist material is applied on a transparent substrate so that the dry coating thickness is about 2.5 μm, and UV exposure is performed through a mask having a predetermined pattern, and then an alkali developer is sprayed to remove uncured portions. Thus, a desired pattern was formed. Then, after heating in an oven at 230 ° C. for 1 hour and allowing to cool, the chromaticity 1 (L * (1), a * (1), b * (1)) of the obtained coating film with a C light source is microspectrophotometric Measurement was performed using a meter (“OSP-SP200” manufactured by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.). Further, as a heat resistance test, the sample was heated in an oven at 250 ° C. for 1 hour, and chromaticity 2 (L * (2), a * (2), b * (2)) with a C light source was measured. The results are shown in Table 4.

Using the measured color difference value, a chromaticity change ΔEab * was calculated by the following formula, and the heat resistance of the coating film was evaluated in the following four stages. The results are shown in Table 4.

ΔEab * = √ ((L * (2) -L * (1)) ² + (a * (2) -a * (1)) ² + (b * (2) -b * (1)) ² )
◎: ΔEab * is less than 1.5 ○: ΔEab * is 1.5 or more and less than 3.0 Δ: ΔEab * is 3.0 or more and less than 5.0 ×: ΔEab * is 5.0 or more

  Similar to the evaluation results of the coloring composition, Examples 9 to 19 containing the colorant (A) containing the red pigment [A1] and the xanthene dye [A2] and the compound (C) are the compounds (C). The comparative example 12-22 which does not contain was showing the numerical value with high contrast ratio. This is because the electrostatic attraction acts between the xanthene dye and the compound (C) to efficiently quench the fluorescence of the dye, and the compatibility between the dye and the red pigment is good. It is considered that this is because the cross luminance is extremely low because the light scattering is suppressed without uneven distribution of particles and dye in the resist, and as a result, the contrast ratio is improved.

  In Example 1 in which the weight ratio of the compound (C) and the xanthene dye [A2] ((C) / [A2]) is in the range of 0.5 to 1.2, the red coating film of the compound (C) Example that has less influence on color characteristics, ((C) / [A2]) is brighter than Example 7 that is greater than 1.2, and ((C) / [A2]) is less than 0.5 Since the ability to suppress fluorescence was superior to 8, the result was that the contrast ratio was high.

In the heat resistance test, in the case of using a rhodamine salt forming compound or a rhodamine sulfonic acid amide compound among the xanthene dyes, the heat resistance is superior to the case of using the xanthene salt forming dye (Example 14). It was confirmed. On the other hand, good results were obtained in Examples 17 to 19. This is presumably because the curability of the coating film was improved by using an active energy ray curable resin having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in the resin solution.
From these results, it has been clarified that the resist material using the colored composition of the present invention can provide excellent quality having all of color characteristics (brightness), contrast ratio, and heat resistance.

[Examples 20 to 29, Comparative Examples 23 to 33]
A color filter was produced using the obtained resist material.

(Example 20: Color filter (CF-1))
A black matrix is patterned on a glass substrate, and a red resist material (R-1) is formed on the substrate with a spin coater in a C light source (hereinafter also used for green and blue) x = 0.640 It was applied to a thickness to form a colored film. The film was irradiated with ultraviolet rays of 300 mJ / cm ² through a photomask using an ultrahigh pressure mercury lamp. Next, spray development was performed with an alkaline developer composed of a 0.2% by weight aqueous sodium carbonate solution to remove unexposed portions, followed by washing with ion-exchanged water. The substrate was heated at 230 ° C. for 20 minutes to obtain a red filter segment. Formed. In the same manner, the green resist material is applied to a thickness such that y = 0.600, and the blue resist material is applied to a thickness such that y = 0.06, and the green filter segment and the blue filter segment are applied. Thus, a color filter (CF-1) was obtained.

(Production of liquid crystal display device)
A transparent ITO electrode layer was formed on the obtained color filter, and a polyimide alignment layer was formed thereon. A polarizing plate was formed on the other surface of this glass substrate. On the other hand, a TFT array and a pixel electrode were formed on one surface of another (second) glass substrate, and a polarizing plate was formed on the other surface. The two glass substrates prepared in this way are arranged facing each other so that the electrode layers face each other, and are aligned using spacer beads while keeping the distance between the two substrates constant, and an opening for injecting a liquid crystal composition The periphery was sealed with a sealant so as to leave After injecting the liquid crystal composition from the opening, the opening was sealed. The liquid crystal display device thus produced was combined with a backlight unit to obtain a liquid crystal panel.

(Examples 20 to 30, Comparative Examples 23 to 33: Color filter (CF-2 to 22))
Hereinafter, primary color filters (CF-2 to 22) and a liquid crystal display device were produced in the same manner as the color filter (CF-1) except that the resist material was changed to the resist material shown in Table 5. The red resist material and the green resist material were fixed conditions. The emission spectrum of the backlight used is shown in FIG.

[Evaluation of color filters (CF-1 to 22)]
Thereafter, in the obtained liquid crystal display device, a light source is emitted to display a color image, and in the primary color filter, the brightness of the red, green, and blue filter segment portions is measured with a microspectrophotometer ("OSP-" manufactured by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.). SP200 "), and the brightness of white display in the color filter was determined from the obtained brightness. In addition, the contrast ratio of the red, green, and blue filter segment portions was measured with a microspectrophotometer ("OSP-SP200" manufactured by Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.), and white display in the color filter was obtained from the obtained contrast ratio. The contrast ratio was determined. The practical performance of the white display contrast ratio is required to be 6500 or more, and preferably 6500 or more. Table 5 shows the evaluation results of the color filter.

Examples 20-30 are contrast ratios of white display with respect to Comparative Examples 23-33 which do not contain the colorant (A) containing the red pigment [A1] and the xanthene dye [A2] and the compound (C). Was high and satisfied the practical performance. This is because Comparative Examples 23 to 33 do not contain the compound (C), and the fluorescent component due to the xanthene dye is present as leakage light. As a result, the cross luminance at the time of measuring the contrast ratio is high, and the calculated contrast ratio is low. It is because it became.

  From the above, by using the colorant (A) containing the red pigment [A1] and the xanthene dye [A2] in combination with the compound (C), color characteristics (lightness), heat resistance, and contrast ratio are excellent. In addition, a red coloring composition for color filters and a color filter can be obtained.
