Description

The present invention relates to a coloring composition for a color filter, and more specifically, a coloring composition for a color filter in which the total content of a specific metal element is defined and contains a specific photopolymerization initiator, and a coloring composition for a color filter using the same. It relates to the obtained color filter.
When producing a coloring composition for a color filter, a coloring material liquid in which a coloring material is dispersed or dissolved in a solvent in advance may be used. In the present specification, a "color material dispersion" in which a color material such as a pigment or a dye is dispersed in a solvent and a "color material solution" in which a color material such as a dye is dissolved in a solvent. Are collectively called "color material liquid".

A color filter used for a display or the like generally has a transparent substrate, a colored layer, a light-shielding portion, and the like, and examples of the method for forming the colored layer include a pigment dispersion method, a dyeing method, an electrodeposition method, and a printing method. Among them, the pigment dispersion method is widely used in terms of spectral characteristics, durability, pattern shape, accuracy, and the like (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

In recent years, with the development of displays, the demand for liquid crystal displays, organic EL displays, etc. has been increasing, and along with this, the performance of these displays has been improved by improving color rendering properties, contrast, brightness, color reproducibility, etc. Is strongly desired.

Furthermore, in recent years, due to the high definition of tablets, smartphones, etc., the black matrix has become thinner, and the phenomenon of parallax mixing, in which the colors of adjacent pixels appear to be mixed when the display is viewed from the side, has become a particular problem. ing.
In order to solve this problem, it is required to reduce the film thickness of the color filter, and specifically, for example, it is required to achieve a film thickness of about 50% to 70% of the conventional film thickness.
On the other hand, as for the reproduction color of the pixel, high color rendering in the chromaticity range defined as "adobe RGB standard" and "DCI standard"("DCI" is Digital Cinema Initiatives) is required.

Therefore, in order to reduce the film thickness of the color filter and increase the color rendering of the pixels, it is necessary to increase the density of the coloring material of the coloring composition for the color filter.

However, if an attempt is made to increase the colorant concentration of the colorant composition for a color filter or the colorant solution used therein, it becomes difficult to disperse the colorant well in the first place, and stability over time may not be obtained. there were.
Further, as the density of the coloring material increases, the components required for patterning to form pixels are relatively reduced, and good developability cannot be obtained (development speed is low; development residue is large; etc.). was there.

Further, the coloring composition for a color filter has a problem that the developability is deteriorated at the time of manufacturing a color filter due to an increase in the density of the coloring material.
That is, even if a coloring composition for a color filter that can be dispersed and dissolved at a high concentration and has excellent color performance can be produced, there has been a problem that it is difficult to achieve both developability at the time of manufacturing a color filter.

On the other hand, Patent Documents 3 to 6 are known as those that specify the content of metal elements in a color filter or a coloring composition for producing a color filter.

Patent Document 3 defines the total amount of ^{sodium ion (Na +} ) and potassium ion (K ⁺ ) contained in the pixels of R (red), G (green), B (blue) and BK (black). As a result, a technique for preventing contamination of a liquid crystal element or a semiconductor element close to a color filter is disclosed.
Patent Document 4 discloses a technique for achieving high shading rate and low surface reflectance by defining the total amount of sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in a resin coated with carbon black for a black matrix. Has been done.

Patent Document 5 describes a pigment dispersion liquid in which the electrical conductivity is specified and the respective contents of sodium (Na), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg) are specified, and the pigment dispersion liquid is used. The color filter thus obtained is said to have good display stability because it has an excellent voltage holding ratio.
In Patent Document 6, C.I. I. ^{An organic pigment composition for a color filter in which the contents of sodium ion (Na +} ), potassium ion (K ⁺ ), and magnesium ion (Mg ⁺ ) contained in Pigment Green 58 are specified is described, and the organic pigment composition for a color filter is used. The color filter thus obtained is said to have excellent display responsiveness.

However, since the color material liquid for color filters for displays requires extremely high dispersion and dissolution, the above-mentioned technology is not yet sufficient, and further improvement is desired to solve the above-mentioned problems. It was rare.
In particular, high-definition color mixing has become a problem, and high color rendering of pixels has been required. In recent years, it has become necessary to reduce the film thickness of color filters. A coloring composition for a color filter having excellent performance in terms of properties, various image characteristics, developability at the time of producing a color filter, sensitivity, and the like has been desired.

JP-A-2007-133131 JP-A-2009-244617 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-198928 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-07173 JP-A-2009-007432 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-119487

The present invention has been made in view of the above background technology, and the problems thereof are that the film thickness of the color filter is reduced, the difference color mixing when the display is viewed from the side is small, and the color reproduction of the pixels is also improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coloring composition for a color filter having excellent characteristics such as achieving high color rendering in a constant chromaticity range.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a coloring composition for a color filter, which can satisfactorily disperse and dissolve the coloring material of the coloring composition for a color filter, has excellent viscosity stability, and has high sensitivity.

As a result of diligent research to achieve the above object, the present inventor has used metal elements other than extremely common metal elements such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K) contained in the coloring composition for a color filter. A certain "calcium (Ca), iron (Fe)" (hereinafter, this parenthesis may be referred to as "first specific metal element"), "magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr). ) ”(Hereinafter, the inside of the parentheses may be referred to as“ second specified metal element ”. In addition,“ first specified metal element ”and“ second specified metal element ”are collectively referred to as“ specified metal element ”. It has been found that, surprisingly, a coloring composition for a color filter and a color filter in which the above-mentioned problems are solved can be obtained by reducing the content of).

In addition, the present inventor has "specified metal elements"("first specified metal elements" and "second specified metals" mixed from solvents, process water, device members, etc. used in the process of manufacturing coloring materials. It has been found that when there is an element) (particularly when there is a first specific metal element), the stability over time becomes poor, the development time becomes long, and an appropriate pattern and good pixels cannot be obtained.
Then, by reducing the mixing of the "specific metal element" in the coloring composition for the color filter (particularly by reducing the mixing of the "specific metal element" in the coloring material), the color in which the above problem is solved. It has been found that a coloring composition for a filter and a color filter can be obtained.

Further, the present inventor increases the sensitivity of the coloring composition by reacting it in the presence of a specific photopolymerization initiator when the coloring composition for a color filter is irradiated with light and cured. The present invention has been completed by finding that the film ratio (the ratio of the film thickness of the coating film after development to the film thickness of the coating film after exposing the coloring composition) can be improved.

That is, the present invention is a coloring composition containing a coloring material, a solvent, an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator, and an alkali-soluble resin, and the sum of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) contained in the coloring composition. mass state, and are 120 ppm by mass or less with respect to the total coloring composition, to provide a color filter colored composition, wherein the oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator is a compound having a specific structure It is a thing.

Further, the present invention further describes that the total mass of magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al) and chromium (Cr) contained in the coloring composition is 135% by mass or less with respect to the entire coloring composition. It provides a coloring composition for a color filter.

The present invention also provides a color filter characterized by having a colored layer which is a cured product of the above-mentioned coloring composition for a color filter.

The present invention also provides a display device having the above-mentioned color filter.

As described above, by avoiding the mixing of extremely common metal elements such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K), contamination of liquid crystal elements and semiconductor elements close to the color filter can be prevented, and the inclusion of the metal in the pigment coating resin. Technology that specifies the amount to achieve high shading rate and low surface reflectance, or specifies the content of the metal in the color filter to increase the voltage retention rate and improve display stability and display responsiveness. Are known.
That is, there are known techniques for reducing common metal elements and improving specific optical and electrical properties that are directly caused by the inclusion of the metal.

However, the content of the specific metal element (particularly, the first specific metal element) is defined, and the mode (high concentration, etc.) and physical properties (low viscosity, dispersion stability, etc.) are determined at the stage of the coloring material liquid. There is no known technique for improving and using it to finally obtain a good color filter.

That is, by defining the content of "calcium (Ca), iron (Fe)" (first specific metal element), further, "magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr)" (the first By specifying the content of (ii) specific metal element), a color material solution with low viscosity (appropriate viscosity) and excellent dispersion stability and solubility can be obtained even at a high color material concentration, and as a result, image characteristics and development can be obtained. It is not known that a color filter having excellent characteristics can be obtained.

In recent years, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it has been required to reduce the film thickness of the color filter, and on the other hand, the reproduction color of the pixel is also required to have high color performance in a certain chromaticity range. By using the coloring composition for a filter, it is possible to provide a coloring composition or a color filter for a color filter, which achieves a low film thickness of a color filter, achieves a small amount of disparity color mixing, achieves high color reproduction, and has excellent developability in patterning. be able to.

Further, a polymerization initiator is generally used when curing a coloring composition for a color filter, but in the present invention, the coloring composition is cured (reacted) in the presence of a specific photopolymerization initiator. It becomes easy to improve the sensitivity (residual film ratio) of.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to the following specific forms, and can be arbitrarily modified within the scope of the technical idea.

The "coloring composition for a color filter" of the present invention is a coloring composition containing a coloring material, a solvent, an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator, and an alkali-soluble resin, and the calcium (Ca) contained in the coloring composition. The total mass of and iron (Fe) is 120 mass ppm or less with respect to the entire coloring composition.
For example, a color filter liquid containing a color material and a solvent and having a total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) of 180 mass ppm or less with respect to the entire color filter liquid is used. This makes it easy to prepare a coloring composition for a color filter in which the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) is within such a range.

<< Acid dye derivative >>
It is preferable that the organic pigment in the present invention contains an acidic dye derivative because the above-mentioned effect of the present invention can be easily exerted. When an acidic dye derivative is used, fine dispersion is possible, and when used for a color filter, features such as high dispersion stability, high contrast, high light transmittance, and high brightness are obtained. It is preferable because it is easy to obtain a pigment dispersion liquid having the above.
Further, when the acidic dye derivative is used, the effect of reducing the specific metal element in the present invention is more exerted, and the above effect can be synergistically exerted.

Here, the "acidic dye derivative" refers to a dye derivative having an acidic group in its chemical structure, and is particularly preferably composed of anthraquinone pigment, diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment, azo pigment, quinophthalone pigment, dioxazine pigment and phthalocyanine pigment. A pigment derivative having one or more pigment skeletons selected from the group and having an acidic group.

As the acidic group of the acidic dye derivative, at least one selected from the group consisting of a sulfo group, a sulfonamide group, a carboxy group, and a metal salt or an ammonium salt of the functional group is preferable.
The average amount of acidic groups introduced into one molecule of the pigment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 to 5, more preferably 0.6 to 4, and preferably 0.7 to 3.5. Especially preferable.
The introduction of an acidic group enables fine dispersion, and when used for a color filter, a pigment dispersion liquid having high dispersion stability, high contrast, high light transmittance, high brightness can be obtained. Therefore, by reducing the specific metal element, a synergistic effect can be obtained and the effect can be further obtained.

The organic pigment in the present invention preferably contains a pigment and an acidic pigment derivative. The acidic dye derivative interacts with the pigment and is adsorbed or incorporated on the surface of the pigment when the pigment particles are produced.
Further, by adsorbing on the surface of the pigment, the surface of the pigment is acidified, and the affinity with the pigment dispersant is enhanced as compared with the organic pigment itself, which acts as an intermediary with the pigment dispersant.
Further, the acidic dye derivative that interacts with the basic dispersant is adsorbed on the pigment surface, so that the basic dispersant can be efficiently positioned on the pigment surface. This enables fine dispersion and dispersion stabilization, which is excellent when used for a color filter.

The content of the acidic dye derivative in the whole organic pigment in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 to 30 parts by mass and 1 to 15 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the pigment. Is more preferable, and 2 to 10 parts by mass is particularly preferable.
When it is set to the above lower limit value or more, stable dispersion and fine dispersion are possible, and a synergistic effect with the above-mentioned reduction of the specific metal element is obtained. When it is set to the above upper limit value or less, the chromaticity is changed due to the excess of the acidic dye derivative. Can be suppressed.

In the present invention, as the organic pigment, one kind or two or more kinds of the above acidic dye derivatives may be used, and one kind or two or more kinds of the above acidic dye derivatives may be used for one kind of pigment. Good.

The pigment can be added to the pigment in the above step. It can be added during the process, during the dispersed process, during the process of post-dispersion processing, and the like.
It can be added to a good solvent or a poor solvent in the reprecipitation method, or can be added after the pigment particles are precipitated or when the pigment particles are concentrated or redispersed thereafter.

According to the present invention, further, since the dispersant is a (salt-type) basic block-type dispersant or a (salt-type) basic graft-type dispersant, which will be described later, the salt-forming site thereof is a pigment and particularly. The main chain and side chains of the polymer dispersant, which have strong adsorptivity to acidic dye derivatives adsorbed on the pigment surface and have affinity for solvents, improve the dispersibility of the pigment dispersion for color filters. As a result, the concentration of the organic pigment can be increased, the viscosity can be reduced, the change over time of the pigment dispersion can be suppressed, and as a result, the developability in the evaluation of the coloring composition for a color filter is improved.

<< Dye >>
In the present invention, the dye can also be used as a coloring material. As a specific example of the dye, the same dye as the above-mentioned "dye which is a raw material of a rake pigment" can be used.

As a guide, if the amount of the dye dissolved in 10 g of the solvent (or mixed solvent) is 10 mg or less, the dye can be dispersed in the solvent (or mixed solvent), and the color material dispersion liquid should be used. Can be done.

The effect of the present invention is not exhibited, and in particular, good contrast cannot be obtained.

Here, the "resolubility" means the property that the solid content of the coloring composition for a color filter once dried is dissolved again in the solvent. For example, if a coloring composition for a color filter adheres to the tip of a die lip when coating with a die coater, a solidified product is generated by drying when the drying speed is high, but the solidified product is colored when the coating is restarted. If it is not easily dissolved in the coloring composition for a filter, a part of the solidified substance on the die lip is peeled off and easily adheres to the coloring layer of the color filter, which causes foreign matter defects.

Within the above range, it is possible to achieve both "wetting property for uniformly dispersing the coloring material" and dispersion stability. Further, when the colorant dispersant of the present application is used as a component of the coloring composition, if the upper limit is not more than the above value, the viscosity of the dispersion liquid does not become too high, and the developability and resolution do not deteriorate. On the other hand, when the lower limit is equal to or higher than the above value, sufficient dispersibility can be obtained.

Here, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) is determined as a standard polystyrene-equivalent value by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the basic block copolymer was measured using HLC-8120GPC manufactured by Toso Co., Ltd., and N-methylpyrrolidone containing 0.01 mol / L lithium bromide as an elution solvent.

The amine value is not particularly limited, but is preferably 15 to 200 mgKOH / g, more preferably 30 to 150 mgKOH / g, and particularly preferably 40 to 130 mgKOH / g.
If the amine value is too small, sufficient dispersion stability cannot be obtained, and if it is too large, the solubility in a solvent decreases.
The amine value can be determined by JIS-K7237.

The acid value is preferably 0 to 50 mgKOH / g, more preferably 1 to 30 mgKOH / g, and particularly preferably 2 to 18 mgKOH / g. Within this range, the developing characteristics are excellent. Further, if the acid value is larger than the above upper limit, "resist pattern peeling" may easily occur.

When the molecular weight, amine value or acid value is in the above range, it is easy to disperse, good dispersion stability can be maintained even if the colorant concentration is increased, developability is good, and the content of a specific metal element is limited. The above-mentioned effect of the present invention is likely to be exhibited by the synergistic effect with the above.
As a result, the color display obtained by using the color material dispersion liquid becomes a display having high contrast, high light transmittance, and high brightness.

<Principle of action>
The principle of action that exerts the above-mentioned effects of the present invention, such as improvement of dispersion stability, does not limit the scope of the invention, but is considered as follows.
That is, when a large amount of the specific metal element such as calcium (Ca) or iron (Fe) is present in the vicinity of the coloring material, it is presumed that the adsorption of the dispersant on the coloring material is inhibited. Further, it is presumed that the dispersant or the acidic dye derivative cannot contribute to the improvement of the dispersibility by forming a salt with the specific metal element by the salt-type dispersant or the acidic dye derivative that contributes to the improvement of the dispersibility. ..

Further, it is considered that a cation of a metal having a high valence such as the specific metal element deactivates the radical of the polymerization initiator.
Since the content of the specific metal element is reduced in the coloring material liquid of the present invention, the coloring composition obtained by further adding a polymerization initiator, an alkali-soluble resin, etc. to the coloring material liquid of the present invention is a specific metal. It is considered that the content of the element tends to be small, the amount of radicals generated by the polymerization initiator can be sufficient, and as a result, the sensitivity is improved.

In addition, the effect on the decrease in dispersibility is that divalent or higher cations such as cations of specific metal elements are more important than monovalent cations such as ^{sodium ion (Na +} ) and potassium ion (K ^+). It is possible that the size is larger. The larger the valence of the metal cation, the higher the effect on the cohesiveness. Therefore, "The upper limit of the total mass of Ca and Fe, which are metal elements having a valence of 2 or more, and the same, both of them. It is also considered that the "dispersion stability" was improved as a result of suppressing the "upper limit of the total mass of Mg, Al and Cr, which are metal elements having a valence of divalent or higher".
Further, it is more preferable to suppress the content of Fe, which is a metal element that gives a trivalent cation, more preferably, Al, which is a metal element that also gives a trivalent cation while suppressing the content of Fe. It is also considered that suppressing the content of Cr and Cr had a great influence on the improvement of dispersion stability.

Therefore, when the content of the specific metal element is small as specified in the present invention, it is presumed that the above-mentioned obstacles are unlikely to occur, and therefore the dispersibility and the developability described later are improved.

<Method of reducing the metal content in the coloring material liquid>
The color material liquid in the present invention contains at least a color material and a solvent, and if necessary, contains a dispersant. The specific metal element is a color material, a dispersant, a solvent, etc., which are raw materials for the color material liquid. Brought in from. It can also be mixed from equipment used for stirring, mixing, dispersion and the like. Therefore, it is preferable to prevent the specific metal element from being mixed in from the raw materials and the apparatus.
In particular, since the amount of the specific metal element brought in from the coloring material is large, it is more preferable to remove the specific metal element from the coloring material.
Furthermore, it is particularly preferable to reduce the amount of the specific metal element from the coloring material to be blended, and when an acidic dye derivative is used, from those colorants.

The method for removing the specific metal element in the coloring material is not particularly limited, and may be removed in the manufacturing process of the coloring material, or may be removed from the manufactured coloring material by a specific removing method.

Among the coloring materials, the dye manufacturing process and the method of removing the specific metal element from the manufactured coloring material include a recrystallization method, a dialysis method, a salting out method, an ion exchange resin method, column chromatography, paper chromatography and the like. Can be mentioned. The recrystallization method is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of cost.
Further, among the produced coloring materials, the method for removing the specific metal element from the pigment is preferably cleaning with a liquid such as alcohol or water, but in terms of cost, a cleaning method with water (hereinafter, simply referred to as "water washing"). (Sometimes abbreviated) is particularly preferable.

In addition to "washing with liquid" such as "washing with water", the members of the manufacturing equipment in the color material manufacturing process are made of metal such as iron, stainless steel, or other iron-containing metal; chrome-plated member; etc. It is preferable not to use one.
"Members of manufacturing equipment" include media such as balls in ball mills and beads in bead mills; inner walls of coloring material manufacturing containers, dispersion containers, surface treatment containers, drying containers, filtration containers, etc.; members of crushers; Members; etc.

The removing method is particularly preferably washing with water. In the washing with water, the coloring material may be suspended in water and washed by a batch method, or may be treated by a continuous method using running water.

The amount of the specific metal element contained in the coloring material used in the coloring material liquid in the present invention can be achieved by adjusting or optimizing the following.
That is, as a means for reducing the amount of the specific metal element contained in the coloring material, the content of the specific metal element contained in the flush water used is reduced (demineralized water in which the amount of the specific metal element is sufficiently reduced). (Use), perform the flushing by a continuous method using running water, increase the number of flushes when the flushing method is a batch method, increase the amount of flushing water relative to the amount of coloring material in both the continuous method and the batch method, flushing water The temperature of the washing water is raised, the pH of the washing water is adjusted, the stirring device for washing with water is optimized, the washing time is lengthened, and the like.

Of these, a batch method in which the number of washings with water is increased, a continuous method using running water, or a method in which the temperature of the washing water is raised is particularly preferable.
The temperature of the washing water is more preferably in the range of 20 ° C. to 80 ° C. from the viewpoint of efficiently removing a predetermined metal, particularly preferably in the range of 30 ° C. to 70 ° C., and further preferably in the range of 40 ° C. to 60 ° C. ..
Among them, a continuous method using running water or the like is preferable, and in that case, the amount of running water used is preferably 30 parts by mass to 40,000 parts by mass, and 40 parts by mass to 20,000 parts by mass with respect to 1 part by mass of the coloring material. More preferably, 50 parts by mass to 10000 parts by mass is particularly preferable, and 60 parts by mass to 5000 parts by mass is further preferable.

Deionized water used for washing is made from raw water treated with strongly acidic or weakly acidic cation exchange resins, strongly basic or weakly basic anion exchange resins, ion exchange membranes, chelate resins, activated carbon, antibacterial activated carbon, etc. It is preferably obtained by treating at least one selected, preferably two or more of the above-mentioned treatment agents in combination, or by distilling (under reduced pressure).

The washing with water is not particularly limited, but the coloring material produced by a known method is suspended in the deionized water, and a vacuum filter, a belt press, a centrifuge, a nutche funnel, etc. are used. Using, continuous method of continuously supplying deionized water for continuous washing, stirring of filter press, homogenizer (high pressure or low pressure homogenizer, ultrasonic homogenizer, etc.), sand mill, ball mill, roll mill, magnetic stirrer, etc. A batch method of washing while dispersing the coloring material with a machine is preferable.

Above all, a high-pressure or low-pressure homogenizer is used to reduce the mixing of specific metal elements such as calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), and chromium (Cr) from the materials and media used. , An ultrasonic homogenizer or the like is more preferable, and an ultrasonic homogenizer is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of the specific metal element mixed in and reducing the cost.

Further, when washing while dispersing the coloring material using the above-mentioned stirrer, it is also preferable to continuously supply water and treat with running water by a continuous method. That is, it is also preferable to use the above-mentioned stirrer in combination with the continuous method in order to reduce the specific metal element.

In the cleaning step, impurities such as metal salts, free metals, and other inorganic salts in the coloring material are extracted into the deionized water. After washing, the suspension is filtered to remove impurities extracted in deionized water as a filtrate.
Next, the wet cake of the coloring material obtained above was suspended in deionized water again, and if necessary, a washing treatment was performed several times in the same step as above, and impurities were removed as a filtrate each time. It is preferable to dry the finally obtained wet cake of the coloring material to obtain a coloring material for blending in the coloring material liquid. From the viewpoint of the balance between the cleaning effect and the cost, the above-mentioned "several times" is preferably 2 to 50 times, more preferably 3 to 40 times, particularly preferably 4 to 30 times, and further preferably 5 to 20 times. The (particularly) preferable mass of the total deionized water used for 1 part by mass of the coloring material is the same as in the case of the above-mentioned "continuous method using running water".

That is, in a preferred embodiment of washing with water, the coloring material is washed by a batch method or a continuous method while dispersing the coloring material in water using a stirrer of "high pressure or low pressure homogenizer, sand mill, ball mill, roll mill, magnetic stirrer, etc." After filtration, the mixture is suspended in fresh water, washed with water, and in the case of the batch method, the above steps are repeated a plurality of times, and the mixture is filtered and dried.

The electrical conductivity of the final filtrate of the washing step is preferably 20 μS / cm or less (particularly preferably 0.05 μS / cm to 5 μS / cm). If the above-mentioned electric conductivity exceeds the above-mentioned range, the coloring material may be insufficiently washed with water, and the coloring material liquid in which the amount of the above-mentioned specific metal element is reduced to the above-mentioned range of the present invention may not be produced. ..
That is, it can be obtained by using the coloring material by repeating the washing treatment to a level comparable to the electrical conductivity of the deionized water used for washing the coloring material and making the impurities in the coloring material almost zero. The coloring material liquid exerts the above-mentioned effect of the present invention.

Further, the final cleaning step of the coloring material used for preparing the coloring material liquid in the present invention can also be confirmed by ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) emission spectroscopic analysis of the filtrate. The ICP measurement of the filtrate is carried out in the same manner in the method described in Measurement Example <Quantification of Metal in Color Material Solution> in the Example, in which the "color material solution" in the measurement example is replaced with the "filament".

The content of both calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) in the final filtrate of the washing step is preferably not more than the detection limit, and calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), and so on. It is more preferable that both aluminum (Al) and chromium (Cr) are below the detection limit, and calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), sodium ( It is particularly preferable that both Na) and potassium (K) are below the detection limit.
Here, the detection limit in the measurement method of the present invention (ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) emission spectroscopic analysis) is less than 0.01 ppm.

When the "content by ICP measurement" or "electrical conductivity of the filtrate" of each metal atom which is an impurity in the above-mentioned filtrate exceeds the above-mentioned upper limit value, the content of the specific metal element in the coloring material liquid is high. Since it may not fall within the scope of the present invention described above, a color material solution having a high color material concentration may not be prepared with a low viscosity (optimal viscosity), or dispersion stability may not be achieved.
Therefore, when preparing the coloring material, it is preferable to repeat the washing treatment until the content of the specific metal element in the filtrate and the electrical conductivity of the filtrate are within the above numerical ranges.

The dispersed particle size of the particles, which is measured by a laser light scattering particle size distribution meter. For the measurement of the particle size by the laser light scattering particle size distribution meter, the color material dispersion is appropriately diluted with the solvent used in the color material dispersion to a concentration that can be measured by the laser light scattering particle size distribution meter (for example, 1000). Measured at 23 ° C. by a dynamic light scattering method using a laser light scattering particle size distribution meter (for example, a nanotrack particle size distribution measuring device UPA-EX150 manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.). The average dispersed particle size here is the volume average particle size.

If the average dispersed particle size is too small, the light resistance may decrease, while if the average dispersed particle size is too large, the display using the color filter obtained by using the colorant dispersion has a contrast. It may be low, the light transmittance may be low, or the display may not be high-brightness.

It is preferable because a coating film can be formed.
To introduce a radically polymerizable double bond, for example, after (co) polymerization of a monomer capable of introducing a radically polymerizable double bond after polymerization, a radically polymerizable double bond as described later is introduced into a side chain. To do.

On the other hand, when the lower limit is equal to or higher than the above value, the adhesion to the substrate is improved.

The alkali-soluble resin preferably has a hydrocarbon ring from the viewpoint of excellent adhesion of the colored layer. By having a hydrocarbon ring, which is a bulky group, in the alkali-soluble resin, shrinkage during curing is suppressed, peeling from the substrate is alleviated, and substrate adhesion is improved. Further, the present inventors have found that the solvent resistance of the obtained colored layer, particularly the swelling of the colored layer, is suppressed by using an alkali-soluble resin having a hydrocarbon ring. Although the action is unclear, the inclusion of a bulky hydrocarbon ring in the colored layer suppresses the movement of molecules in the colored layer, resulting in higher strength of the coating film and suppression of swelling due to the solvent. It is presumed to be.

Further, it is particularly preferable that these polyfunctional monomers are trifunctional or more and 10 functional or less.
Within the above range, the sensitivity is likely to be improved by using it in combination with an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator.

<Oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator>
The coloring composition for a color filter of the present invention contains an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator as an essential component.

Oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiators are JP-A-2000-80068, JP-A-2001-233842, JP-A-2010-527339, JP-A-2010-527338, JP-A-2013-041153, International. It can be appropriately selected from the compounds described in Publication No. 2015/036910 and the like.

When an oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator is used when preparing a coloring composition for a color filter, the sensitivity of the coloring composition tends to be improved.
Here, "high sensitivity" means that the amount of radicals generated by the polymerization initiator contained in the coloring composition is large and the radical transfer rate is high. In the case of a photopolymerization initiator, if the acceptability to light is high, the amount of radicals generated is large and the sensitivity is high.
When a colored layer having a predetermined pattern is produced, it is cured by irradiating it with light, so that only the irradiated portion remains after development to form a colored layer. When the sensitivity of the coloring composition is high, the curing has progressed sufficiently, so that the amount of decrease in the film thickness due to the development of the light-irradiated portion is small, and the film thickness hardly changes. On the other hand, when the sensitivity of the coloring composition is low, the curing is insufficient and the film thickness is reduced by being developed by the developing solution, so that the amount of reduction due to the development of the film thickness of the portion irradiated with light is large.
Therefore, the sensitivity of the coloring composition can be evaluated by measuring the residual film ratio (the ratio of the film thickness of the coating film after development to the film thickness of the coating film after exposing the coloring composition).

Further, by using the oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator, it is easy to suppress the variation in the line width in the plane when forming the fine line pattern.
Further, by using the oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator, the development resistance tends to be improved and the effect of suppressing the occurrence of water stains tends to be enhanced. In addition, water stain means that when a component that enhances alkali developability is used, traces of water stain are generated after alkaline development and rinsing with pure water. Such water stains disappear after post-baking, so there is no problem as a product, but there is a problem that it is detected as unevenness abnormality in the appearance inspection of the patterning surface after development, and it is not possible to distinguish between normal products and abnormal products.

<< Principle of action >>
The present invention is not limited to the range to which the following principle of action applies, but if the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) contained in the coloring composition (or the total mass of specific metal elements) is too large. The principle of action, in which dispersion stability deteriorates and developability deteriorates, is presumed as follows.

That is, for example, the nitrogen moiety contained in the a monomer (preferably the structural unit represented by the general formula (1)) in the dispersant is adsorbed on the coloring material to improve the dispersibility of the coloring material, and the dispersion thereof. It is considered that the coloring material firmly surrounded by the agent is easily washed away while being adsorbed on the dispersant during development, and the generation of the residue derived from the coloring material is suppressed on the substrate.
However, if the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) or the total mass of the specific metal element is too large in the vicinity of the coloring material (if the total mass of calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) or the specific metal element is too large). , Adsorption of the dispersant to the coloring material is hindered, or the salt-type dispersant or acidic dye derivative that contributes to the improvement of dispersibility cannot contribute to the improvement of dispersibility by interacting with the specific metal element. It is thought that.

Further, if the total mass of the specific metal elements is too large, as described above, the coloring material is not suitably surrounded by the dispersant. Therefore, during development, the “coloring material preferably surrounded by the dispersant” is used. It is considered that the form makes it difficult for the developer to flow together with the developing solution, and a residue derived from the color material is likely to be generated on the substrate (development failure is likely to occur).

The coloring composition exhibits developability because it contains an alkali-soluble resin, but the above-mentioned "salt-type dispersant that does not suitably surround the coloring material" reduces the developability. Is also possible. Further, the influence of cations of a specific metal element having a valence of 2 or more on the alkali-soluble resin is also considered.
The effect on the decrease in developability is that divalent or higher cations (divalent) such as cations of specific metal elements are more important than monovalent cations such as ^{sodium ion (Na +} ) and potassium ion (K ^+). It is considered that the total amount of the above cations only and the content including trivalent cations) may be larger.

Therefore, it is considered that the coloring composition obtained by using the color material dispersion liquid having good dispersion stability has good developability.

Further, the specific metal element has a high valence of 2 or more valences, and it is considered that the cation of such a high valence metal element deactivates the radical of the polymerization initiator.
In the present invention, it is considered that as a result of reducing the content of the specific metal element in the coloring composition, the amount of radicals generated is increased and the sensitivity is improved.

<< Preparation of coloring composition for color filter >>

When the coloring material liquid of the present invention or the coloring composition of the present invention is used, a thin film (for example, up to 80 to 50%) with respect to the conventional thickness is used depending on the composition due to the high concentration of the coloring material in the solid content. It is possible to change. As a result, the color rendering is high, there is no color mixing, and the resolubility is high, so that foreign matter is less generated and the productivity is high.

The coloring material liquid and the coloring composition in the present invention are extremely excellent in developability.

Examples include a method of metal etching.

The film thickness of the light-shielding portion is set to about 0.05 to 0.4 μm in the case of a metal thin film, and 0.5 to 0.5 to 0.5 in the case of a black colorant dispersed or dissolved in a binder resin. It is set at about 3 μm.

The viscosity was measured at 25.0 ± 1.0 ° C. using a vibration viscometer (VM-200T2 manufactured by SEKONIC). If the viscosity of the color material dispersion is 20 mPa · s or less, it is within the practical range.

<Results on color material dispersion>
As can be seen from Table 1, the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) contained in the color filter color material dispersion liquid is 180 mass ppm or less with respect to the entire color filter color material dispersion liquid. In each of the dispersion liquid preparation examples, the dispersion stability was judged as "AA", "A" or "B", which was a practical level.
On the other hand, in each of the color material dispersion preparation examples in which the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) is more than 180 mass ppm with respect to the entire color filter dispersion liquid, the dispersion stability is "C". Or it was a "D" judgment and did not reach the practical level.
It was also found that the above results can be said regardless of the type of coloring material. Further, even if the total concentration of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) is lowered by washing (color material dispersion preparation examples 1 to 4, 9), even if the total concentration is low from the beginning (color material dispersion preparation). Examples 5-8) showed that the dispersion stability was high. It was also found that the above tendency can be said regardless of the type of coloring material.

Further, before washing with water, the total concentration of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) is more than 180 mass ppm with respect to the entire color material dispersion liquid for the color filter, and the dispersion stability is judged as "C". Liquid Preparation Example 101 A Color Material Dispersion Solution Preparation Example in which the total concentration of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) in the color material dispersion liquid was reduced to 180 mass ppm or less by washing the "organic pigment (R-1) of Liquid Preparation Example 101" with water.

In addition, all the coloring compositions were excellent in stability.
On the other hand, in each of the colored composition preparation examples in which the total mass of calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) is more than 120 mass ppm with respect to the entire colored composition for the color filter, the developability is "C" or "D". It was a judgment and did not reach the practical level. It was also found that the above tendency can be said regardless of the type of coloring material.

The developability was better than that of Preparation Example 13 of the coloring composition using the dispersant A, and the judgment was "AA".

As can be seen from Tables 3 to 4, in the colored composition preparation examples 31 to 48 in which the colored composition was prepared by using the oxime ester-based photopolymerization initiator, the sensitivities (residual film ratio) were "AA", "A" or "AA". It was a "B" judgment and was excellent or at a practical level.
