Therefore, there is a strong demand for the development of a coloring composition suitable for producing a color filter that can achieve both a good voltage holding ratio and a high contrast.
Therefore, the subject of this invention is providing the coloring composition which can form the colored layer which can make favorable voltage holding ratio and high contrast compatible, when dye is used as a coloring agent. Moreover, the subject of this invention is providing the display element which comprises the color filter provided with the colored layer formed from the said coloring composition, and the said color filter.

  In view of this situation, the present inventors have conducted intensive research and found that the above problems can be solved by using a dye having a specific solubility as a colorant, and the present invention has been completed. .

That is, the present invention comprises the following components (A), (B) and (C);
(A) a colorant containing a dye (hereinafter referred to as “dye (a1)”) having a solubility in cyclohexanone of more than 1% by weight and less than 20% by weight;
The present invention provides a coloring composition comprising (B) a binder resin and (C) a crosslinking agent.

  The present invention also provides a color filter comprising a colored layer formed using the colored composition, and a display element comprising the color filter. Here, the “colored layer” means each color pixel, black matrix, black spacer, etc. used in the color filter.

If the colored composition of the present invention is used, a colored layer having excellent voltage holding ratio and high contrast can be formed.
Therefore, the coloring composition of the present invention is used for various color filters including color filters for display elements, color filters for color separation of solid-state imaging elements, color filters for organic EL display elements, and color filters for electronic paper.

The method of doing is also preferable.

Color filter and method for producing the same The color filter of the present invention includes a colored layer formed using the colored composition of the present invention.

  As a method for producing a color filter, first, the following method may be mentioned. First, a light shielding layer (black matrix) is formed on the surface of the substrate so as to divide a portion where pixels are formed, if necessary. Next, for example, after applying a liquid composition of the radiation-sensitive composition of the present invention containing a red dye on the substrate, pre-baking is performed to evaporate the solvent, thereby forming a coating film. Subsequently, after exposing this coating film through a photomask, it develops using an alkali developing solution, and the unexposed part of a coating film is dissolved and removed. Thereafter, post-baking is performed to form a pixel array in which red pixel patterns are arranged in a predetermined arrangement.

  Next, each colored radiation-sensitive composition of green or blue is used, and each colored radiation-sensitive composition is applied, pre-baked, exposed, developed, and post-baked in the same manner as described above, so that the green pixel array and blue Are sequentially formed on the same substrate. Thereby, a color filter in which pixel arrays of the three primary colors of red, green and blue are arranged on the substrate is obtained. However, in the present invention, the order of forming pixels of each color is not limited to the above.

  The black matrix can be formed by forming a metal thin film such as chromium formed by sputtering or vapor deposition into a desired pattern using a photolithography method. Using the radiation composition, it can be formed in the same manner as in the pixel formation.

Examples of the substrate used when forming the color filter include glass, silicon, polycarbonate, polyester, aromatic polyamide, polyamideimide, and polyimide.
In addition, these substrates may be subjected to appropriate pretreatment such as chemical treatment with a silane coupling agent or the like, plasma treatment, ion plating, sputtering, gas phase reaction method, vacuum deposition, etc., if desired.

  When the colored radiation-sensitive composition is applied to the substrate, an appropriate coating method such as a spray method, a roll coating method, a spin coating method (spin coating method), a slit die coating method, or a bar coating method may be employed. In particular, it is preferable to employ a spin coating method or a slit die coating method.

  Pre-baking is usually performed by combining vacuum drying and heat drying. The drying under reduced pressure is usually performed until the pressure reaches 50 to 200 Pa. Moreover, the conditions of heat drying are 70-110 degreeC normally for about 1 to 10 minutes.

  The coating thickness is usually 0.6 to 8 μm, preferably 1.2 to 5 μm, as the film thickness after drying.

  Examples of radiation light sources used in forming pixels and / or black matrices include xenon lamps, halogen lamps, tungsten lamps, high pressure mercury lamps, ultrahigh pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, medium pressure mercury lamps, and low pressure mercury lamps. Examples of the light source include a laser light source such as an argon ion laser, a YAG laser, a XeCl excimer laser, and a nitrogen laser. Radiation having a wavelength in the range of 190 to 450 nm is preferable.

In general, the exposure dose of radiation is preferably 10 to 10,000 J / m ² .
Examples of the alkali developer include sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, choline, 1,8-diazabicyclo- [5.4.0] -7-undecene, 1, An aqueous solution such as 5-diazabicyclo- [4.3.0] -5-nonene is preferred.

An appropriate amount of a water-soluble organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, a surfactant or the like can be added to the alkaline developer. In addition, it is usually washed with water after alkali development.
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. The development conditions are preferably 5 to 300 seconds at room temperature.

The post-baking conditions are usually 180 to 280 ° C. and about 10 to 60 minutes.
The film thickness of the pixel thus formed is usually 0.5 to 5 μm, preferably 1.0 to 3 μm.

  Further, as a second method for producing a color filter, a method of obtaining pixels of each color by an ink jet method disclosed in JP-A-7-318723 and JP-A-2000-310706 can be employed. . In this method, first, a partition having a light shielding function is formed on the surface of the substrate. Next, after the liquid composition of the colored composition of the present invention containing, for example, a red dye is discharged into the formed partition wall by an inkjet apparatus, pre-baking is performed to evaporate the solvent. Next, this coating film is exposed as necessary and then cured by post-baking to form a red pixel pattern.

  Subsequently, using each coloring composition of green or blue, a green pixel pattern and a blue pixel pattern are sequentially formed on the same substrate in the same manner as described above. Thereby, a color filter in which pixel patterns of the three primary colors of red, green and blue are arranged on the substrate is obtained. However, in the present invention, the order of forming pixels of each color is not limited to the above.

In addition, the partition has not only a light shielding function but also a function for preventing the color composition of each color discharged in the section from being mixed, so that the film is a film compared to the black matrix used in the first method described above. Thick. Therefore, a partition is normally formed using a black radiation sensitive composition.
The substrate used when forming the color filter, the light source of radiation, and the pre-baking and post-baking methods and conditions are the same as in the first method described above. Thus, the film thickness of the pixel formed by the ink jet method is approximately the same as the thickness of the black matrix.

A protective film is formed on the pixel pattern thus obtained as necessary, and then a transparent conductive film is formed by sputtering. After forming the transparent conductive film, a spacer can be further formed to form a color filter. The spacer is usually formed using a radiation-sensitive composition, but may be a light-shielding spacer (black spacer). In this case, a colored radiation-sensitive composition in which a black colorant is dispersed is used, but the colored composition of the present invention can also be suitably used for forming such a black spacer.
Since the color filter of the present invention thus obtained has extremely high luminance and color purity, it is extremely useful for color liquid crystal display elements, color image pickup tube elements, color sensors, organic EL display elements, electronic paper, and the like.

Display element The display element of the present invention comprises the color filter of the present invention. Examples of the display element include a color liquid crystal display element, an organic EL display element, and electronic paper.
A color liquid crystal display device including the color filter of the present invention can have an appropriate structure. For example, the color filter is formed on a substrate different from the driving substrate on which the thin film transistor (TFT) is arranged, and the driving substrate and the substrate on which the color filter is formed are opposed to each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. In addition, a substrate in which a color filter is formed on the surface of a driving substrate on which a thin film transistor (TFT) is disposed, and a substrate in which an ITO (indium oxide doped with tin) electrode is formed are a liquid crystal layer. It is also possible to adopt a structure that is opposed to each other. The latter structure has the advantage that the aperture ratio can be remarkably improved, and a bright and high-definition liquid crystal display element can be obtained.

  The color liquid crystal display device including the color filter of the present invention may include a backlight unit using a white LED as a light source in addition to a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL). As the white LED, for example, a white LED that obtains white light by color mixing by combining a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED, a white LED that obtains white light by color mixing by combining a blue LED, a red LED, and a green phosphor, and a blue LED White LED that obtains white light by mixing colors, red LED and green light emitting phosphor, white LED that obtains white light by mixing colors of blue LED and YAG phosphor, blue LED, orange light emitting phosphor and green light emitting fluorescence A white LED that obtains white light by color mixing by combining the body, a white LED that obtains white light by color mixing by combining an ultraviolet LED, a red light emitting phosphor, a green light emitting phosphor, and a blue light emitting phosphor can be exemplified.

In addition, the electronic paper including the color filter of the present invention can have an appropriate structure, for example, a structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-41169.

The applied voltage at this time is a square wave of 5.5 V, and the measurement frequency is 60 Hz. Here, the voltage holding ratio is a value of (liquid crystal cell potential difference after 16.7 milliseconds / voltage applied at 0 milliseconds). If the voltage holding ratio of the liquid crystal cell is 90% or less, it means that the liquid crystal cell cannot hold the applied voltage at a predetermined level for a time of 16.7 milliseconds, and the liquid crystal cannot be sufficiently aligned.
