Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the accuracy of alignment and to obtain improved quality by coating a prescribed pattern with a liq. contg. a dispersed photosensitive pigment except the alignment arc parts. CONSTITUTION:A glass substrate 4 with a formed prescribed pattern including alignment arcs 1 and a color filter 2 is coated with a liq. 3 contg. a dispersed photosensitive pigment by means of a coater having noncoating regions, e.g. a roll coater. The region of the color filter 2 for forming a pattern by photolithography is coated with the liq. 3 in a nearly uniform film thickness but a coating film of the liq. 3 is not formed on the alignment arcs 1 because the regions of the arcs 1 are noncoating regions at the time of coating. Hindrance to the confirmation of the arcs 1 by the absorption of transmitted light in the liq. 3 can be avoided at the time of alignment before exposure in a producing stage.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for coating a photosensitive pigment fraction liquid onto a substrate having a predetermined pattern, which is used in the production of color filters for liquid crystal panels, solid-state image pickup tube elements, etc. It is something. [Prior art J] Conventionally, a photosensitive pigment dispersion is applied onto a substrate having a predetermined pattern by using a coater such as a spin coater, roll coater, or bar coater to coat the entire surface of the substrate with the photosensitive pigment dispersion. Was. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention J] However, when a photosensitive pigment dispersion is coated on the entire surface of a predetermined pattern, the light transmittance may change due to the applied photosensitive pigment dispersion containing pigment during alignment during exposure. is low, making it difficult to confirm the alignment arc of the predetermined pattern. This results in a decrease in alignment accuracy, an increase in alignment time, and a situation where auto-alignment is not possible due to the inability to obtain contrast between the pattern and non-pattern areas, resulting in a decrease in yield and an increase in cycle time due to pattern misalignment in color filter manufacturing. This has the problem of reducing productivity, impeding rationalization through efficient alignment, and ultimately causing an increase in the cost of color filters. The present invention is intended to solve these problems,
The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for applying a photosensitive pigment dispersion that makes it easy to confirm alignment arcs during alignment during exposure. [Means for Solving the Problems 1] The method for applying a photosensitive pigment fraction liquid of the present invention uses a non-contact device such as a wire coater instead of a roll coater when applying a photosensitive pigment dispersion onto a substrate having a predetermined pattern. The present invention is characterized in that, using a coater having a coating area, the photosensitive fl$4 solution is not applied to the alignment arc portion of the predetermined pattern. [Actual Example 1] Figure 1 shows a coater having a non-coating area such as a roll coater or a wire coater used on a glass substrate 4 on which a predetermined pattern including an alignment arc 1 and a color filter 2 is formed by the coating method according to the present invention. This is a diagram in which photosensitive pigment dispersion 3 was applied using In this case, the photosensitive pigment dispersion 3 is applied to the area of the color filter 2 where the pattern is formed by photolithography with a substantially uniform film thickness, while the area of the alignment arc 1 is the non-applied area during application. Therefore, there is no coating film of photosensitive pigment dispersion on the alignment arc l. Therefore, during alignment during exposure in the present color filter manufacturing process, it is possible to avoid a situation where the alignment arc becomes difficult to confirm due to absorption of transmitted light by the photosensitive pigment dispersion 3. The predetermined pattern including the alignment arc 1 and the color filter 2 according to the present invention is a photosensitive material such as chromium, a laminated film of chromium and chromium oxide, a metal film such as indium oxide, tankle, or a color mosaic (trademark, Fuji Hunt Microelectronics ■). It is formed from a pigment dispersion. In addition, photosensitive pigment dispersions that can be used in the present invention include resins such as acrylic, polyimide, and polyvinyl alcohol represented by Color Mosaic (trademark, Fuji Hunt Microelectronics ■), as well as red, blue, green, and black pigments. One example is rojiang, which has pigments dispersed in it. The present invention can be carried out regardless of the thickness of the applied resin, but in the case of color mosaics, it is generally carried out within the range of 0.1 to 10 um. Further, in a coater having a non-coating area such as a roll coater or a wire coater used in the present invention, the range of the coating area and non-coating area of the photosensitive pigment dispersion 3 can be set by changing the width of the roll or wire roll. becomes. Further, although a glass substrate is used in this embodiment as a substrate used in the present invention, it is also possible to use a substrate made of silicon or the like. FIG. 2 shows a photosensitive pigment dispersion 3 applied by a spin coater or a roll coater to the entire surface of a glass substrate 4 on which a predetermined pattern including an alignment arc 1 and a color filter 2 has been formed by a conventional coating method. In this case, a coating film of the photosensitive pigment dispersion liquid 3 with a substantially uniform thickness is present on the alignment arc 1 as well as on the area of the color film 2 where a pattern is formed by photolithography. In this case, the paint film of the photosensitive pigment dispersion has poor light transmittance because the pigment absorbs in the visible light region, making it difficult to confirm the alignment arc. [Effect of the invention J As described above, according to the method for applying a photosensitive pigment dispersion of the present invention, in the step of applying a photosensitive pigment dispersion onto a substrate having a predetermined pattern, a non-contact device such as a roll coater or a wire coater is used. Using a coater with a coating area. Since the photosensitive pigment dispersion is not applied to the alignment arc portion of the predetermined pattern, the alignment accuracy is reduced because it is difficult to confirm the alignment arc when the photosensitive pigment dispersion is also applied to the alignment arc portion.
It is possible to avoid phenomena such as an increase in alignment time and the inability of auto-alignment. Due to this. By manufacturing color filters using the photosensitive pigment dispersion coating method of the present invention, it is possible to improve yield and quality by improving alignment accuracy, improve productivity by shortening cycle time, and streamline color by auto-alignment. It is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of filters.
