Description

  The present invention relates to a color composition used for producing a color filter used in a color liquid crystal display device, a color image pickup tube element, and the like, a photosensitive color composition, and a color including a filter segment formed using the same. It relates to filters.

  In the liquid crystal display device, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between two polarizing plates controls the amount of light passing through the first polarizing plate by controlling the degree of polarization of light passing through the first polarizing plate. The type using twisted nematic (TN) type liquid crystal is the mainstream. A liquid crystal display device is capable of color display by providing a color filter between two polarizing plates, and has recently been used in televisions, personal computer monitors, and the like. There is an increasing demand for higher quality and high color reproducibility.

  A color filter is a surface of a transparent substrate such as glass, in which two or more kinds of fine band (striped) filter segments of different hues are arranged in parallel or crossing each other, or fine filter segments are arranged vertically and horizontally. It is made up of those arranged in In general, it is often formed of three color filter segments of red, green, and blue. Each segment is as fine as several microns to several hundreds of microns, and is arranged in a predetermined arrangement for each hue. .

  Generally, in a color liquid crystal display device, a transparent electrode for driving a liquid crystal is formed on a color filter by vapor deposition or sputtering, and an alignment film for aligning the liquid crystal in a certain direction is further formed thereon. Yes. In order to sufficiently obtain the performance of these transparent electrodes and alignment films, the formation thereof must generally be performed at a high temperature of 200 ° C. or higher, preferably 230 ° C. or higher. For this reason, at present, as a method for producing a color filter, a method called a pigment dispersion method using a pigment having excellent heat resistance and light resistance as a colorant is mainly used.

  In the production of a green filter, it is common to use various phthalocyanine compounds as a colorant, and many proposals for color filter compositions containing these compounds have been made.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a color filter composition using a halogenated phthalocyanine compound substituted with at least four halogen atoms as a green colorant.

  In Patent Document 2, as a green pigment, a halogenated copper phthalocyanine pigment and a central metal are selected from the group consisting of Mg, Al, Si, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Ge, and Sn. There has been proposed a color filter composition comprising a green colorant composed of at least one halogenated dissimilar metal phthalocyanine pigment.

  However, all of these phthalocyanine compounds are materials for producing a high brightness color filter. However, in recent years, the demand for high brightness has further increased, and in the composition using these proposed colorants, the brightness is high. Was insufficient.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a pigment composition that maintains a clear hue, high light resistance, and high heat resistance by using a blue aluminum phthalocyanine pigment containing no halogen and a green pigment containing halogen. Yes.

  Regarding the coloring composition for the green color filter segment, in Patent Document 4, an aluminum phthalocyanine pigment is used as a main pigment, high brightness is obtained with a high chromaticity even with a relatively small content, and both color density and color purity are achieved. Technology is disclosed.

  Further, as an aluminum phthalocyanine pigment, in addition to the monomer aluminum phthalocyanine pigment described in Patent Document 4, in Patent Document 5, bis (phthalocyanylalumino) tetraphenyldimer obtained by dimerizing an aluminum phthalocyanine pigment with diphenylchlorosilane is used. Bis (phthalocyanylaluminum) phenylphosphonate pigments dimerized with siloxane pigments or phenylphosphonic acid are disclosed.

  However, the pigment compositions containing these aluminum phthalocyanine compounds are not sufficient in heat resistance at 230 ° C. or higher and long-term light resistance, which are required for color filter applications, and the spectral shape changes. was there. Furthermore, problems such as an increase in viscosity of the colored composition and generation of foreign matters on the coating film due to poor dispersibility have not been sufficiently improved.

(Miniaturization of colorant)
As the colorant used in the color filter coloring composition of the present invention, for obtaining a high brightness and high contrast, the colorant particles can be refined by subjecting the colorant particles to a fineness by a salt milling process or the like as necessary. It can be suitably used as a colorant. The primary particle diameter of the colorant is preferably 10 nm or more in order to improve dispersibility in the colorant carrier. Moreover, in order to obtain a filter segment with high contrast, the thickness is preferably 80 nm or less. A particularly preferred range is 20 to 60 nm.

  Salt milling is a process of heating a mixture of a colorant, a water-soluble inorganic salt, and a water-soluble organic solvent using a kneader such as a kneader, two-roll mill, three-roll mill, ball mill, attritor, or sand mill. After mechanically kneading, the water-soluble inorganic salt and the water-soluble organic solvent are removed by washing with water. The water-soluble inorganic salt serves as a crushing aid, and the colorant is crushed using the high hardness of the inorganic salt during salt milling.

When the acid value is less than 20 mgKOH / g, the solubility in the developing solution is poor and it is difficult to form a fine pattern. When it exceeds 300 mgKOH / g, no fine pattern remains.

  The binder resin can be used in an amount of 20 to 500% by weight based on the total weight of the colorant. If it is less than 30% by weight, the film formability and various resistances are insufficient, and if it exceeds 500% by weight, the colorant concentration is low and color characteristics cannot be expressed.

The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention is prepared by mixing at least a phthalocyanine compound represented by the general formula (1), a binder resin, and an organic solvent with a three-roll mill, a two-roll mill, a sand mill, a kneader, or an atom. It can be produced by dispersing using various dispersing machines such as a lighter. Moreover, the coloring composition of this invention can also be manufactured by mixing the colorant separately dispersed in a binder resin and an organic solvent.

  In this way, when the colorant is dispersed in the binder resin using a disperser, the dispersed particle size becomes smaller as the dispersion proceeds, the transparency increases, and the contrast ratio increases. In particular, a good contrast ratio can be obtained from about 300 nm. On the other hand, when the dispersion progresses and the dispersed particle size becomes small, the viscosity of the dispersion increases and the thixotropic property tends to increase. When used as a photosensitive coloring composition for a color filter, it is required to have a low viscosity and a Newtonian flow because it is required to be coated with a thin film and to have a smooth coating surface. For this reason, it is preferable to suppress the dispersed particle size to about 100 nm in consideration of the viscosity and thixotropic property preferable for normal use. Thus, by using a colorant having an average primary particle size of 100 nm or less and controlling the degree of dispersion so that the average particle size of the dispersed particles is in the range of 50 nm to 150 nm, the increase in viscosity and thixotropic property are minimized.

It is a value in terms of polystyrene measured using “TSK-GEL SUPER H5000”, “H4000”, “H3000”, and “H2000” manufactured by Tosoh Corporation in this order and using tetrahydrofuran as the mobile phase.

  Further, the volume average primary particle diameter (MV) of the colorant is obtained by measuring the short axis diameter and the long axis diameter of the primary particles of 100 pigments using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) photograph. Assuming that the average of the major axis diameter is the particle size (d) of the colorant particles, and then assuming that each colorant is a sphere having the determined particle size, the volume (V) of each particle is determined. The calculation was performed on 100 colorant particles, and the calculation was performed using the following formula (1).
