Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a multicolor image on a substrate such as a color filter or another color display plate used for a liquid crystal color display or the like.

[Prior art] A liquid crystal color display is composed of a first multilayer structure having a color filter, a protective film, a transparent electrode having a matrix pattern, an insulating film, and an alignment film in this order on a transparent substrate such as glass, glass, and the like. A second multilayer structure having an entire surface or a striped transparent electrode, an insulating film, and an alignment film in this order on a transparent substrate was opposed to each other with the respective alignment film surfaces inside, and bonded together with a spacer therebetween. It has a structure in which a cell in which liquid crystal is sealed is sandwiched between two polarizing plates. In the first multilayer structure, a transparent electrode having a matrix-like pattern may be provided on a transparent substrate under a color filter.

The color filter arranges red, blue, and green dot images in a matrix on a transparent substrate, respectively.
It has a structure in which each boundary is divided by a black matrix.

In addition, a speedometer and a tachometer panel of an automobile also have a structure in which a multicolor image including yellow, cyan, magenta, and black is provided on a plastic substrate.

Conventionally, various methods have been proposed for forming a colored image on such a support.

For example, a method of manufacturing a color filter for a liquid crystal display will be described. A transparent substrate such as glass is used as a support.

No. 49, etc., a colored photosensitive resin solution method (colored resist method) by repeating application, exposure and development of a colored photosensitive resin solution; 4) JP-A-61-99103, JP-A-61-99103 −2
As described in JP-A-33704 or JP-A-61-279802, a method of sequentially transferring images formed on a temporary support to a final or temporary support, 5) JP-A-61-99102 A colored layer is formed by applying a pre-colored photosensitive resin liquid described in the gazette onto a temporary support, and the direct coloring of the photosensitive colored layer is sequentially transferred directly to a transparent substrate, and exposure and development are repeated. Method 6) As described in JP-A-61-256303, a multicolor image is formed on a temporary support by repeatedly transferring a photosensitive colored layer onto a temporary support, exposing and developing. It is known to form a multicolor image by, for example, transferring a multicolor image to a final support such as glass after forming the image. In addition, electrodeposition method, photographic method, vapor deposition method,
Methods such as a bleaching method are also known.

Next, a protective film for physical and chemical protection of the multicolor image and flattening of the surface is formed thereon. As a protective layer, apply a highly transparent film such as a resin film of acrylic, urethane or silicone, or a metal oxide film such as silicon oxide by spin coating, roll coating, printing method, etc. And leave it horizontally to remove the solvent.
A method such as curing is generally used.

Further, a transparent conductive film such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or tin oxide is formed thereon by using a vacuum film forming method such as a sputtering method or a vacuum evaporation method, and then a mask evaporation method and an etching method. Perform electrode pattern processing by the method
A transparent electrode layer is formed. The transparent electrode layer may be formed on the transparent substrate below the colored image and the black matrix layer.

In the conventional main methods of forming a colored image related to the production of these color filters, 1) In the dyeing method, it is necessary to repeat formation and removal of an anti-staining layer because a photoresist is applied and partial drying of a dried transparent film is repeated. And the manufacturing process was complicated. 2) In the printing method, since the transferability of the printing ink to the glass is inferior, the defective shape of the colored pattern and uneven density are apt to occur, and it is disadvantageous also in the alignment of the three-color or four-color pattern. However, it was difficult to form a good quality filter. In method 3),
Since the concentration of the colored layer is determined by the thickness of the colored layer, a precise coating technique was required to keep the concentration of the colored layer constant. Furthermore, after forming the first color layer, the application of the second color layer is actually difficult to obtain a uniform coating layer because of the unevenness of the surface based on the first color layer. Further, in the method 4), it is difficult to correctly arrange the images of each color at desired positions (hereinafter, referred to as “alignment”) when the colored image is transferred to the final support. The methods 5) and 6) simplify the steps of forming a colored image, facilitate exposure, development, and density control, and facilitate alignment, but still have some problems.

That is, JP-A-61-99102, JP-A-61-256303 and JP-A-63-187203 disclose the setting by transfer of a colored photosensitive resin layer on the surface of a transparent substrate. A process for producing a color filter is described, which comprises transferring transferable red, blue and green images sequentially produced by image exposure and development onto a final substantially transparent support. This method is inherently superior because it does not create a shift in the transfer operation for the alignment of each colored image. In addition, since the colored photosensitive resin layer uniformly applied in advance with a constant thickness is transferred, the exposure and development characteristics are stabilized, and the density control of the obtained final colored image is easy.

However, in these methods, since the colored image of the first color on the adhesive layer has a height of several μm, when the colored photosensitive resin of the second color or later is installed, sufficient interlayer adhesion is not obtained. Since no color image was obtained, the adhesion of the second and subsequent colored images after exposure and development was insufficient.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a multi-colored image on a support such as a color filter at a high throughput. To provide a method for producing a multi-color colored image having a higher definition having an image pattern, to improve the alignment accuracy of each color, and to provide a method for producing a multi-color colored image in which each color is easily aligned. Another object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method capable of obtaining a multicolor image at a low cost with a simpler manufacturing process.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin layer of an image forming material in which a colored photosensitive resin layer is provided on a temporary support that is transparent to ultraviolet light. The photosensitive resin layer is exposed to a pattern through the temporary support, and the temporary resin is peeled off, and then the photosensitive resin layer is developed and colored on the adhesive layer. A pattern is formed, and if necessary, the formed colored pattern is pressed through a material having a smaller surface energy than any of the colored resin in the pattern and the adhesive layer, and the vicinity of the surface of the adhesive layer is pressed. Embedded image, and then an image forming material colored in different hues is brought into close contact with the adhesive layer, and exposure and development are repeated to achieve a multicolor colored image.

To embed a colored pattern near the adhesive layer,
After forming a pattern of any color, before laminating the photosensitive resin layer colored in the next color, the pressing step of the treatment may be repeated, but immediately after forming the pattern of any color The step of laminating a photosensitive resin layer colored in the next color, repeating the step of forming a pattern of the color by exposing and developing according to the number of required colors may be repeated, and finally the above-described pressing step may be performed. .

In the present invention, it is important that the steps described in the claims are performed in this order, and even if a step that does not hinder the present invention, such as washing after development, is inserted between the steps, There is no.

According to the production method of the present invention, since a colored image forming material having a uniform coating thickness is used in advance, the exposure and development characteristics are stable, and the control of the color density is easy.

It is easy to align the patterns of each color.

Since the pattern is substantially embedded in the adhesive layer, the flatness is good, and a multicolor colored image having excellent pattern adhesion to the support and excellent pattern definition as a whole is obtained.

High durability of colored images.

Since the photosensitive material is supplied in the form of a colored layer, there is no problem related to coating such as the stability of the coating solution.

Since the glass substrate has the adhesive layer, the adhesion of the image is good.

There are numerous advantages, such as:

Next, the materials used in the present invention will be described in detail.

The temporary support for the colored photosensitive resin layer used in the present invention has flexibility, is preferably transparent to ultraviolet rays, and is significantly deformed, shrunk or stretched even under pressure or under pressure and heat. Must not occur. Examples of such a support include a polyethylene terephthalate film, a cellulose triacetate film, a polystyrene film, and a polycarbonate film. Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate films are particularly preferred.

On the temporary support, a colored photosensitive resin layer is directly
Alternatively, it is provided via a release layer having an ultraviolet transmittance property.

When provided directly, the temporary support is required to have sufficient UV transmittance to cure the photosensitive resin layer, but when provided via a release layer, the temporary support is Exposure can be performed after peeling, so that ultraviolet transmittance is not essential.

The release layer is provided in order to easily peel off the temporary support after the colored photosensitive resin layer is in close contact with the support. Peeling can be performed before or after image exposure, but it is preferable to peel before exposure in order to increase the resolution of the image.

In this case, the release layer has an appropriate adhesive property with the temporary support in order to prevent diffusion of oxygen from the air which inhibits the photocuring reaction in the colored photosensitive resin layer upon image exposure. With the peelable, so that it can not be mechanically peeled from the colored photosensitive resin layer,
Further, it preferably has an oxygen blocking ability.

Preferred solvents include benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexane, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, methylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol Monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol , Butanol, sec-butanol, t-butanol , N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, γ-butyrolactone, ε-caprolactam, dimethylsulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide, and water. These can be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.

The solid content concentration of the coating solution is preferably in the range of 1 to 50% by weight, more preferably 5 to 40% by weight. The dry thickness of the colored photosensitive resin layer is preferably from 0.3 to 10 μm, more preferably from 0.5 to 5 μm.

The support having the adhesive layer is required to be transparent to ultraviolet rays in some cases and not to cause significant deformation, shrinkage or elongation under pressure or under pressure and heat.
Examples of such a support include a polyethylene terephthalate film, a cellulose triacetate film, a polystyrene film, a polycarbonate film, and a glass plate. Biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film and glass plate are particularly preferred.

When the final colored image is used as a color filter, the support needs to be substantially transparent, and the above-mentioned polymer film or glass plate is used. A transparent support provided with transparent electrodes in a matrix may be used.

When the final colored image is used as a color display plate, a suitable support includes a transparent, translucent or opaque plastic film, plate or glass plate. Specifically, a polycarbonate plate containing or not containing an opaque inorganic filler is preferable.

An adhesive layer is provided on these supports. The adhesive layer needs to obtain good adhesiveness when the colored photosensitive resin layer is adhered thereon, and furthermore, the colored photosensitive resin layer is exposed to an image, and a colored image obtained by development is embedded. It is also necessary to obtain sufficient adhesion. Further, it is necessary that the colored photosensitive resin layer has resistance to an alkaline aqueous developer.

For this purpose, the adhesive layer must be soft at room temperature or soften by heating.

One of the adhesive layers satisfying such a purpose is formed of a thermoplastic polymer. Examples of such thermoplastic polymers include the image receiving substances described in JP-A-51-5101.

The thermoplastic polymer has a glass softening point of 10 ° C to 140 ° C.
Those in the range of ° C are preferred.

Further, a layer containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a heat-sensitive adhesive described in JP-B-46-15326 and JP-B-59-14736 can be used.

More preferably, a photopolymerizable image-receiving layer described in JP-A-59-97140 or a release layer described in JP-A-61-189535 and Japanese Patent Application No. 1-65064. Is an image receiving layer having a two-layer structure. By using these and irradiating ultraviolet rays after embedding an image in the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer can be cured.
By this treatment, the adhesive layer shows stronger adhesion to the support.

In this case, it is necessary to prevent the photopolymerizable image-receiving layer from curing when the colored image-forming layer is subjected to pattern exposure. For this purpose, the photosensitivity of the photopolymerizable image-receiving layer is set to about one third or less of the photosensitivity of the colored image forming layer, or a photopolymerization initiator having a different photosensitive wavelength is used.

The thickness of the adhesive layer is sufficient if the colored image after image formation is embedded therein, and is preferably 1 to 100 μm, and particularly preferably 5 to 30 μm. If the thickness is less than 1 μm, the embedding of the colored image is insufficient and the adhesion after the second colored image is poor, and if it exceeds 100 μm, there is a problem in storage of the sheet having the adhesive layer.

The developer can be used as a bath solution or a spray solution. Removal of the unexposed portion from the colored photosensitive resin layer can be advantageously performed by brushing, rubbing with a wet sponge, friction, or other known methods.

The medium used to develop the colored photosensitive resin layer after exposure is an aqueous medium, i.e. a medium that is mostly composed of water. Further, it is preferable to add an organic solvent miscible with water and an alkaline substance to this developer.

Suitable organic solvents are methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-propanol, butanol, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, benzyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, Cyclohexanone, ε-caprolactone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, and hexamethylphosphoramide.

Suitable alkaline substances are alkali metal hydroxides (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide), alkali metal carbonates (sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate), alkali metal bicarbonates (sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate), alkali metal silicides. Acid salt (sodium silicate, potassium silicate), alkali metal metasilicate (sodium metasilicate, potassium metasilicate), triethanolamine, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, morpholine, trialkylammonium hydroxide, or trisodium phosphate is there.

The developer may also include a wetting agent. As the wetting agent, an alkyl naphthalene sulfonate having a low foaming property is particularly preferable. Particularly preferred developers are aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether and sodium carbonate, and aqueous solutions of benzyl alcohol, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide and sodium butylnaphthalenesulfonate.

Examples of the material having a lower surface energy than any of the adhesive layer and the colored image of the present invention include a silicone resin and a fluorine resin. In order to embed the colored image formed on the adhesive layer into the adhesive layer, pressure is applied through these low surface energy materials, in which case a roller made of a low surface energy material is used. Alternatively, a film made of a material having a low surface energy or a material obtained by applying a material having a low surface energy on a surface of a flexible synthetic polymer film is applied between the colored image on the adhesive layer and a rubber roller.
