Description

The present invention relates to a pigment dispersant, a pigment composition, and a pigment colorant. More specifically, printing inks (offset inks, gravure inks, etc.), various paints, plastics, pigment printing agents, dry toners for electrophotography, wet toners for electrophotography, inks for inkjet recording, inks for thermal transfer recording, resists for color filters. The present invention relates to a pigment dispersant to be added to a writing instrument ink or the like.

Generally, it is difficult to mix and disperse pigments (particles) in a stable state in a vehicle such as paint, gravure ink, and offset ink. For example, fine pigment particles once dispersed in the vehicle tend to aggregate in the vehicle. When the pigment particles aggregate, the viscosity of the vehicle increases. In addition, when a vehicle containing pigment particles in an agglomerated state is used, various problems such as a decrease in coloring power of ink or paint and a decrease in gloss of a coating film are likely to occur. Among the pigments, it is particularly difficult to mix and disperse the black pigment in a stable state.

Carbon black pigments, iron oxide pigments and the like are generally used as black pigments used as colorants for paints, printing inks, plastics and the like. These black pigments exhibit a black color by absorbing all light rays in the visible light region of sunlight.

Sunlight is an electromagnetic wave, and light in the wavelength range of approximately 380 nm to 780 nm is visible light. Therefore, even if all visible light is absorbed, a black color is obtained. Light in the wavelength region on the longer wavelength side of visible light and in the wavelength region of 0.8 μm to 2.5 μm (800 nm to 2,500 nm) between it and the infrared region is called near infrared light. The carbon black pigment also absorbs this near infrared ray. In the wavelength region of sunlight, it is said that light having a large degree of contribution to heat is light in the wavelength region of 800 nm to 1,400 nm among near infrared rays.

As described above, black pigments such as carbon black pigments also absorb near infrared rays in the wavelength region of 800 nm to 1,400 nm, which greatly contributes to heat. For this reason, there is a problem that an article colored with a black pigment is likely to be heated when exposed to sunlight. As an article colored with a black pigment, there are many delicate products such as a black matrix (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “BM”) constituting a color filter (hereinafter, simply referred to as “CF”). For this reason, various studies have been conducted on black pigments that do not heat up even when exposed to sunlight, colorant compositions that color various articles black, and the like.

Patent Document 1 discloses a black azo pigment having an azomethine group, which absorbs visible light to exhibit a black color and reflects infrared rays. Further, since it reflects infrared rays, it has been proposed to obtain an article which is not excessively heated even by direct sunlight by coloring with this black azo pigment.

By the way, with the remarkable development of information-oriented devices in recent years, a liquid crystal color display (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “LCD”) has been applied as an information display member to many information display-related devices. Along with this, improvement in the display quality of LCDs and cost reduction have been demanded. Therefore, the CF mounted on the LCD is also required to have more excellent quality in terms of color characteristics and optical characteristics such as fineness, color density, light transmission, and contrast.

In CF, each pixel of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) is arranged in a stripe shape, a mosaic shape, or a triangle shape, and the periphery of each pixel is shielded to block unnecessary light. A grid-shaped BM is formed on the. Then, light is emitted from the back surface with a backlight, and the transmitted light of each of the R, G, and B pixels is colored by color mixing to form an image. Red pigments, green pigments, blue pigments, yellow pigments, violet pigments, and the like are used for chromatic (RGB) pixels, which have been improved. Further, as a light-shielding material forming the BM, a conventional metal chromium film is being replaced with a resin film using a black pigment in order to cope with an increase in substrate size and a reduction in environmental load.

In addition, various improvements have been proposed in the CF pixel display system, and accompanying this, the light-shielding black pigment used in the BM has also been improved. For example, in order to widen the viewing angle, an in-plane switching system (IPS system) has been proposed in which an electric field is applied parallel to the substrate to convert the liquid crystal layer and display pixels. Further, a black matrix on array method (BOA method) in which a BM is formed on a thin film transistor (TFT) and a color filter on array method (COA method) have been proposed. In these methods, the aperture ratio is increased, so that the pixel area can be expanded. Furthermore, since the efficiency of the bonding process is improved, the work process can be rationalized.

For example, in order to further widen the viewing angle in the IPS method, it is necessary to keep the interval (cell gap) between the substrates that sandwich the liquid crystal layer with high accuracy and constant. However, it is difficult to uniformly adjust the cell gap by the conventional method of dispersing the bead-shaped spacers. Therefore, as a method of uniformly adjusting the cell gap, a method of thickening the BM itself, or a method of laminating a resin for supporting a gap such as a colored layer or a photoresist layer on the BM to make it thicker is proposed. ing. Furthermore, in the case of these methods, since the conventional bead-shaped spacers are not used, it is said that it is possible to suppress the deterioration of display quality due to light scattering and transmission (Patent Documents 2 and 3).

Since the IPS method, the BOA method, the COA method, and the like are methods of forming a BM on an active element such as a TFT, the active element may malfunction if the BM is not electrically insulating. Carbon black pigments that have hitherto been used as light-shielding black pigments have low electric resistance, and therefore cannot be said to be suitable as black pigments applied to the above method. Therefore, there is a demand for a light-shielding black pigment that is more excellent in electrical insulation.

In response to such a demand, for example, a black pigment for BM has been proposed in which carbon black having a regulated oxygen content is covered with a highly insulating resin film to improve electrical insulation (Patent Document 4). Further, it has been proposed to apply to the COA method a BM formed by using an insulating carbon black whose volume resistance value is measured and selected, or a carbon black which is coated with a resin to improve electric insulation. (Patent Document 5). However, since the carbon black-based pigment is essentially a material having conductivity, it is difficult to ensure sufficient insulation even when it is coated with a resin or the like.

On the other hand, it has been proposed to use the black azo pigment having an azomethine group proposed in Patent Document 1 in order to secure the insulating property of BM (Patent Document 6). However, it has been difficult to mix and disperse the black azo pigment proposed in Patent Document 1 in a vehicle in a stable state. The fine pigment particles once dispersed in the vehicle tend to agglomerate in the vehicle. Then, the viscosity of the vehicle in which the pigment particles are aggregated increases. Further, when a vehicle containing agglomerated pigment particles is used, the coloring power of the ink or paint is reduced, the gloss of the coating film is reduced, or the optical density is insufficient as a light-shielding material for forming BM, etc. The problem of.

In order to stably disperse particles of a pigment such as a black azo pigment having an azomethine group in a dispersion medium, a method using a pigment derivative as a dispersant and a method using a pigment treated with a pigment derivative have been proposed. .. Specifically, when using a phthalocyanine-based pigment such as PB15:6, it has been proposed to use a substituted derivative of phthalocyanine as a pigment dispersant (Patent Document 7). Further, when an anthraquinone pigment such as PR177 is used, it has been proposed to use a substituted derivative of anthraquinone as a pigment dispersant (Patent Document 8). Further, when using a diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment such as PR254, it has been proposed to use a substituted derivative of diketopyrrolopyrrole as a pigment dispersant (Patent Document 8).

Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-15265 JP, 2000-66018, A JP, 2002-341332, A Japanese Patent No. 3543501 Japanese Patent No. 4338479 Japanese Patent No. 2819512 JP-A-2002-55224 JP 2001-240780 A

However, even if the pigment derivatives proposed in Patent Documents 7 and 8 are used, it is difficult to stably disperse the black azo pigment having an azomethine group proposed in Patent Document 1 in a medium. Further, since the color tone of the pigment derivative proposed in Patent Documents 7 and 8 is not black, there is a problem that the optical density of black is lowered.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and the problem is that a liquid material such as an ink or paint containing pigment particles such as a black azo pigment in a dispersed state. To provide a pigment dispersant capable of significantly improving fluidity, suppressing aggregation of pigment particles, and preventing generation of foreign matter, and capable of producing a colored article excellent in optical density. is there.
