Description

  The present invention relates to a pigment dispersion composition, a colored photosensitive composition containing the same, a color filter produced using the colored photosensitive composition, and a method for producing the color filter.

  The color filter contains a pigment dispersion composition in which an organic pigment or an inorganic pigment is dispersed, a polyfunctional monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, an alkali-soluble resin, and other components to form a colored photosensitive composition. It is manufactured by forming a colored pattern by a photolithography method or the like.

  In recent years, color filters tend to be used not only for monitors but also for televisions (TVs) in liquid crystal display (LCD) applications. Along with this trend of expanding applications, color filters are required to have high color characteristics in terms of chromaticity and contrast. Similarly, color filters having high color characteristics are demanded for color filters for image sensors (solid-state imaging devices).

  In response to the above requirements, the pigment contained in the colored photosensitive composition is dispersed in a finer state (good dispersibility), and is dispersed in a stable state (good dispersion stability). Is required. If the dispersibility of the pigment is insufficient, fringes (jagged edges) and surface irregularities occur in the formed colored resist film, and the chromaticity and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured color filter are reduced, contrast is increased. There is a problem that it is significantly deteriorated. In addition, when the dispersion stability of the pigment is insufficient, in the color filter manufacturing process, in particular, the uniformity of the film thickness in the coating process of the colored photosensitive composition is reduced, or in the exposure process. There is a tendency that the sensitivity is lowered and the alkali solubility in the developing process is lowered. Furthermore, when the dispersion stability of the pigment is poor, there is also a problem that the constituent components of the colored photosensitive composition are aggregated with the passage of time, the viscosity is increased, and the pot life is extremely shortened. However, if the particle size of the pigment is made finer to improve the color characteristics, the surface area of the pigment particle becomes larger, so the cohesion between the pigment particles becomes stronger, and both dispersibility and dispersion stability at a high level are compatible. Is often difficult.

  In order to solve such problems, various pigment dispersants have been developed. Among these dispersants, a copolymer containing a macromonomer (an oligomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group at the end) is useful. By using the copolymer containing the macromonomer, the pigment particle size is small. It is disclosed that a pigment dispersion excellent in dispersion stability can be obtained (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, since the copolymer containing the macromonomer described in the document does not have a functional group that promotes adsorption to the pigment, it does not function alone as a dispersant, and must be used in combination with another dispersant. There is a problem. In addition, when the copolymer containing the macromonomer is used as a dispersant, the thickening action seen in the polymer dispersant can be suppressed, but the dispersibility is reduced because the pigment is not sufficiently refined. There is a problem that it is not enough.

  In order to improve the dispersion stability of the pigment, a graft polymer having a partial structure of an organic dye (for example, see Patent Document 3), a graft polymer having a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring (for example, see Patent Document 4), and a cyclic imide group A graft polymer (for example, see Patent Document 5) is disclosed. Further, it is disclosed that a resin having an N-substituted maleimide and a urethane-based dispersant (for example, see Patent Document 6) or a graft copolymer having a nitrogen atom (for example, see Patent Document 7) are used in combination. . However, a pigment dispersion composition that is excellent in pigment dispersibility, fluidity, etc. and is soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, and a colored photosensitive composition containing the pigment dispersion composition have not yet been provided. .

  On the other hand, in order to improve the color characteristics of the color filter, C.I. I. When using a copper halide phthalocyanine such as CI Pigment Green 36, it is necessary to increase the pigment concentration in the colored photosensitive composition. After forming a colored photosensitive layer containing the colored photosensitive composition on the substrate, exposure is performed. When developing and forming pixels, the latitude during development is narrow, and the pixel shape after development may be inversely tapered.

It has been proposed that a color filter with high brightness, high transmittance, and high color purity can be obtained using a green pigment other than a halogenated copper phthalocyanine (phthalocyanine having a central metal other than copper) (for example, a patent) Reference 8)), phthalocyanine having a central metal other than copper is poor in stability at the time of dispersion and over time, so a large amount of binder is required at the time of dispersion, and the development latitude of the colored photosensitive composition is narrow, indicating Unevenness may occur in the device.
Non-patent document 1 details zinc halide phthalocyanine, which is a kind of phthalocyanine having a central metal other than copper.

It is a pigment dispersion composition containing resin which has.
That is, the pigment dispersion composition of the present invention is characterized by using a combination of a zinc phthalocyanine pigment, a specific dispersant, and a resin having a polyester chain in the molecule.
Hereinafter, each component which comprises the pigment dispersion composition of this invention is explained in full detail.

<(A) Zinc phthalocyanine pigment>
Since zinc phthalocyanine generally has 16 hydrogen atoms in the phthalocyanine ring, up to 16 of these hydrogen atoms can be substituted with bromine atoms and / or chlorine atoms. These halogen atoms may all be the same or different. When the number of substituents is constant, green becomes darker in the order of bromine atom> chlorine atom. When these hydrogen atoms are substituted with bromine atoms, for example, chlorine atoms, the number of bromine atoms is 0 to 16, the number of chlorine atoms is 0 to 16, and the number of hydrogen atoms is 0 to 16, in theory. A total of 136 types of substitution products can be produced.

In the present invention, the (A) zinc phthalocyanine pigment is a generic term for zinc halide phthalosinine represented by the following general formula (a), and X ^{21 to} X ³⁶ are each independently a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, or a bromine atom. The pigment which is is shown.
In the present invention, zinc halide phthalocyanine in which at least 8 or more of X ^{21 to} X ^{36 in} the general formula (a) are chlorine atoms or bromine atoms is preferable.

In the general formula (a), X ^{21 to} X ³⁶ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, or a bromine atom.

In the zinc phthalocyanine described above, eight or more of X ^{21 to} X ³⁶ are replaced with bromine atoms, thereby exhibiting a yellowish green color with high brightness, which is optimal for use in a color pixel pattern of a color filter. is there. In the present invention, zinc phthalocyanine substituted with 8 or more bromine atoms is most preferred.

  The average composition of zinc phthalocyanine can be easily obtained from mass spectrometry based on mass spectroscopy and halogen content analysis by flask combustion ion chromatography.

  The halogenated zinc phthalocyanine can be produced by a known production method such as a chlorosulfonic acid method, a halogenated phthalonitrile method, or a melting method. More specific production methods are described in detail in JP 2008-19383 A, JP 2007-320986 A, JP 2004-70342 A, and the like.

  The zinc phthalocyanine pigment of the present invention preferably has an average primary particle size in the range of 10 nm to 40 nm. By using a zinc phthalocyanine pigment having an average primary particle diameter in this range, a colored photosensitive composition for a color filter having excellent dispersibility stability and coloring power, high brightness, and high contrast can be obtained.

  In addition, the average primary particle diameter in the present invention is a long one of 100 primary particles of zinc phthalocyanine pigment constituting the aggregate on a two-dimensional image obtained by photographing particles in the field of view with a transmission electron microscope. The average value of the diameter (major axis) and the shorter diameter (minor axis) is obtained and averaged.

  In obtaining a zinc phthalocyanine pigment having an average primary particle diameter in the range of 10 nm to 40 nm, it may be finely divided by any method, but it can easily suppress crystal growth and has a relatively large average primary particle diameter. In view of obtaining small pigment particles, it is preferable to employ a solvent salt milling treatment.

  The solvent salt milling means kneading and grinding a zinc phthalocyanine pigment, an inorganic salt, and an organic solvent. The zinc phthalocyanine pigment having a large particle diameter may be subjected to solvent salt milling after dry grinding. Specifically, a zinc phthalocyanine pigment, an inorganic salt, and an organic solvent that does not dissolve it are charged into a kneader and kneaded and ground therein. As a kneader at this time, for example, a kneader, a mix muller, or the like can be used.

  As the inorganic salt, a water-soluble inorganic salt can be preferably used. For example, an inorganic salt such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate is preferably used. Moreover, it is more preferable to use an inorganic salt having an average particle size of 0.5 to 50 μm. Such an inorganic salt can be easily obtained by pulverizing a normal inorganic salt.

  In obtaining a zinc phthalocyanine pigment having an average primary particle size in the range of 10 nm to 40 nm, it is preferable to increase the ratio of the amount of inorganic salt used to the amount of zinc phthalocyanine pigment used in solvent salt milling. That is, the amount of the inorganic salt used is preferably 5 to 20 parts, more preferably 7 to 15 parts, based on 1 part of zinc phthalocyanine pigment in terms of mass.

  As described above, it is preferable to use an organic solvent capable of suppressing crystal growth, as described above, and a water-soluble organic solvent can be suitably used as such an organic solvent, for example, diethylene glycol, glycerin, ethylene glycol. , Propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, liquid polypropylene glycol, 2- (methoxymethoxy) ethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2- (isopentyloxy) ethanol, 2- (hexyloxy) ethanol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol Monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propano Le, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, can be used dipropylene glycol.

  Although the usage-amount of the water-soluble organic solvent in this case is not specifically limited, 0.01-5 parts and 0.1-2 parts are preferable with respect to 1 part of zinc phthalocyanine pigments by mass conversion.

  30-150 degreeC is preferable and the temperature at the time of solvent salt milling has more preferable 50-100 degreeC. The solvent salt milling time is preferably 5 to 20 hours, and more preferably 8 to 18 hours.

  In this way, a mixture containing a zinc phthalocyanine pigment, an inorganic salt, and an organic solvent as main components is obtained, and the organic solvent and the inorganic salt are removed from the mixture, and if necessary, a solid material mainly composed of the zinc phthalocyanine pigment. By washing, filtering, drying, pulverizing, etc., fine zinc phthalocyanine pigment powder can be obtained.

  As washing, either water washing or hot water washing can be employed. The number of washings can be repeated in the range of 1 to 5 times. In the case of the mixture using a water-soluble inorganic salt and a water-soluble organic solvent, the organic solvent and the inorganic salt can be easily removed by washing with water.

  Examples of the drying after filtration and washing described above include batch-type or continuous drying in which the pigment is dehydrated and / or desolvated by heating at 80 to 120 ° C. with a heating source installed in a dryer. Examples of the dryer generally include a box dryer, a band dryer, and a spray dryer. In addition, the pulverization after drying is not an operation for increasing the specific surface area or reducing the average particle size of the primary particles, but, for example, in the case of drying using a box dryer or a band dryer. When the pigment is in the form of a lamp or the like, it is carried out to break the pigment into powder, and examples thereof include pulverization with a mortar, hammer mill, disk mill, pin mill, jet mill and the like.

  Thus, a powder of zinc phthalocyanine pigment is obtained. The zinc phthalocyanine pigment used in the present invention has a property that the primary particles have a weaker cohesive force than the conventional copper halide phthalocyanine pigments and are more easily disintegrated. Therefore, the colored photosensitive composition for a color filter of the present invention has a high contrast.

  When the primary particles of the zinc phthalocyanine pigment of the present invention have an aspect ratio of 1 to 3 in the range of 1 to 3, the viscosity characteristics are improved in each application field and the fluidity becomes higher. In order to obtain the aspect ratio, as in the case of obtaining the average particle diameter of the primary particles as described above, the particles in the field of view are photographed with a transmission electron microscope or a scanning electron microscope. Then, an average value of the longer diameter (major diameter) and the shorter diameter (minor diameter) is obtained for 100 primary particles constituting the aggregate on the two-dimensional image, and the average value is calculated using these values. .

  The zinc phthalocyanine pigment of the present invention having an average primary particle diameter in the range of 10 nm to 40 nm can be obtained, for example, by the above-described method, but can also be purchased from Dainippon Ink & Chemicals, Inc.

The obtained colored photosensitive composition (color resist solution) is dried using a slit coating apparatus equipped with a slit head having a slit gap of 100 μm and an effective coating width of 540 mm, and the coating thickness after drying becomes 2.0 μm. A glass substrate having a width of 550 mm, a length of 650 mm, and a thickness of 0.7 mm is obtained by adjusting the gap between the slit and the substrate as described above and applying a colored photosensitive composition (color resist solution) obtained at a coating speed of 170 mm / second. The coated surface with a length of 640 mm was obtained.
After coating, the pressure was reduced to 67 Pa with a vacuum dryer, prebaked with a hot plate at 100 ° C. for 60 seconds, and then the coated surface was visually observed to evaluate the coating properties according to the following criteria.
◯: No patchy or streaky coating unevenness, foreign matter or repellency was observed.
X: Presence of spotted or streaky coating unevenness, foreign matter, and repellency was observed.

(Alkali developability)

In an oven for 60 seconds (pre-baking). Then, the mask exposure was performed at 100 mJ / cm ² (illuminance 20 mW / cm ² ), and the coated film after the exposure was covered with a 1% aqueous solution of an alkali developer CDK-1 (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronics Materials). It rested for 60 seconds. After standing still, pure water was sprayed in a shower to wash away the developer and form a pattern. The case where there was no chipping or peeling and a pattern similar to the exposure mask could be formed was marked as ◯, and the case where a pattern different from the exposure mask was formed was marked as x.

(Luminance: Y value)
About each of the produced colored filter board | substrate, Y value was measured as a brightness | luminance using MCPD-2000 by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.

(contrast)
A polarizing plate is placed on the colored resin film of the colored filter substrate, and the colored resin film is sandwiched between them. The luminance when the polarizing plate is parallel and the luminance when the polarizing plate is orthogonal are measured using BM-5 manufactured by Topcon Corporation. The value obtained by dividing the parallel brightness by the orthogonal brightness (= the parallel brightness / the orthogonal brightness) was used as an index for evaluating the contrast. When the y value is 0.42 (C light source), the contrast is larger than 23000, and the smaller is x.

It was good, and there was no spotted or streaky coating unevenness, foreign matter or repellency. Further, a color filter having good developability and good brightness and contrast was obtained. On the other hand, Comparative Examples 10 to 13 using either the dispersant having no structure of the present invention or the resin having no polyester chain showed the presence of spotted or streaky coating unevenness, foreign matter, and repellency. It can be seen that the coloring filter obtained was poor in both brightness and contrast.
