Description

  The present invention relates to a colored photosensitive resin composition, a color filter having a pattern formed using the colored photosensitive resin composition, and a liquid crystal display having the color filter.

  A display body such as a liquid crystal display has a structure in which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between two substrates on which a pair of electrodes facing each other is formed. A color filter made up of pixel regions of each color such as red (R), green (G), and blue (B) is formed inside one substrate. In this color filter, a black matrix is usually formed so as to partition red, green, and blue pixel regions.

  Generally, a color filter is manufactured by a lithography method. In this lithography method, first, a black colored photosensitive resin composition is applied onto a substrate, and the coating film is dried under reduced pressure by a vacuum dryer (VCD), and then exposed and developed to form a black matrix. Next, for each colored photosensitive resin composition of each color of red, green, and blue, coating, drying, exposure, and development are repeated to form a pixel region of each color at a predetermined position to manufacture a color filter.

  In recent years, in order to improve the productivity of color filters, methods for producing color filters by an ink jet method have been studied. In this ink jet method, first, a black matrix is formed by a lithography method. Next, the colored photosensitive resin composition of each color of red, green, and blue is ejected from the inkjet nozzle to each pixel area partitioned by the black matrix, and the stored colored photosensitive resin composition is cured by heat or light. To produce a color filter.

JP 2006-349981 A

  By the way, as described above, after the colored photosensitive resin composition is applied on the substrate, the coating film is dried under reduced pressure by a vacuum drying apparatus (VCD). There was a problem that surface defects and surface roughness occurred in the coating film due to aggregation of the colorant and the like.

  Therefore, conventionally, a colored photosensitive resin composition containing dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether in a proportion of 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less in the solvent in order to prevent bumping of the solvent has been disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

  However, even with the solvent composition disclosed in Patent Document 1, the effect of suppressing surface defects and surface roughness generated in the coating film was not sufficient. In particular, when the content of the colorant is large, or when the decompression speed is increased to reduce tact time, surface defects and surface roughness of the coating film become conspicuous.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a colored photosensitive resin composition capable of effectively suppressing surface defects and surface roughness of a coating film when the coating film is dried under reduced pressure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a color filter having a pattern formed using a colored photosensitive resin composition, and a liquid crystal display having the color filter.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have conducted extensive research. As a result, it has been found that the above problem can be solved by setting the solvent in the colored photosensitive resin composition to a specific composition, and the present invention has been completed. Specifically, the present invention provides the following.

  The second aspect of the present invention is a color filter having a pattern formed using the colored photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention.

  A third aspect of the present invention is a liquid crystal display having the color filter according to the present invention.

  As the carbon black, known carbon blacks such as channel black, furnace black, thermal black, lamp black and the like can be used. In particular, channel black can be preferably used because of its excellent light shielding properties. Resin-coated carbon black can also be used.

And resin-coated carbon black obtained by dispersing an ethylenic monomer in a water-organic solvent mixed system or water-surfactant mixed system and performing radical polymerization or radical copolymerization in the presence of a polymerization initiator. Since this resin-coated carbon black has lower conductivity than carbon black without resin coating, there is less current leakage when used in a color filter, and a highly reliable low power consumption liquid crystal display can be formed. .

  Moreover, you may add an organic pigment as an auxiliary pigment to said inorganic pigment. The following effects can be obtained by appropriately selecting and adding organic pigments that exhibit complementary colors of inorganic pigments. For example, carbon black exhibits a reddish black color. Therefore, by adding an organic pigment exhibiting a blue color that is a complementary color of red as an auxiliary pigment to the carbon black, the redness of the carbon black disappears and a more preferable black color as a whole is exhibited. The organic pigment is preferably used in the range of 10 to 80 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the sum of the inorganic pigment and the organic pigment, more preferably in the range of 20 to 60 parts by mass, and in the range of 20 to 40 parts by mass.

By setting it as said range, coloring performance can be improved, suppressing raise | generating a hardening defect.

  Further, when a black pigment is used as the colorant (C), the OD (Optical Density) value per 1 μm thickness of the formed film is adjusted to 3.5 or more, preferably 4.0 or more. It is preferable. If the OD value per film thickness of 1 μm is 3.5 or more, when used as a black matrix of a color filter, sufficient display contrast can be obtained and necessary performance can be obtained.

In addition, the boiling point shown in this specification is a value in atmospheric pressure. When the solvent (S) has such a composition, surface defects and surface roughness of the coating film when the coating film of the colored photosensitive resin composition is dried under reduced pressure can be effectively suppressed.

  The boiling point of the low boiling point solvent (L) is less than 170 ° C, and preferably 160 ° C or less. The boiling point is preferably 130 ° C or higher, more preferably 140 ° C or higher.

The content is preferably 5% by mass or more, more preferably 10% by mass or more, and further preferably 15% by mass or more. Since the low boiling point solvent (L) volatilizes first when the colored photosensitive resin composition is applied, the low boiling point solvent (L) is contained at such a content, so that the coating film of the colored photosensitive resin composition is dried under reduced pressure. Can increase the efficiency.

  The boiling point of the first high-boiling solvent (H1) is 170 ° C. or higher and lower than 180 ° C.
