Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel hetero-polycyclic compounds, and coloring matters, pigments or dyes, color-changing material compositions and color-changing films, which are produced by using the above compounds, specifically to color-changing material compositions which are not deteriorated in a color-changing performance even after used for long time and which are prevented from being unusable due to deposition of coloring matters during storage and color-changing films produced by using the same, and novel hetero-polycyclic compounds, coloring matters and pigments or dyes which actualize them.
  • Organic fluorescent coloring matters have so far been used in the wide fields as coloring matters for fluorescence-changing films in various display equipments and as coloring matters for dye lasers, copy prevention, solar energy changing and fluorescent films in green houses, in addition to uses as dyes and pigments.
  • the organic fluorescent coloring matters used for the above applications are strongly desired to be controlled in a fluorescent wavelength in a solid state and improved in a luminous intensity.
  • a fluorescent intensity of an organic fluorescent coloring matter in a solid state is weak as compared with the fluorescent intensity thereof in a solution state. It is the existing situation that this phenomenon is neglected as concentration quenching and that the details thereof are not known well. This is because it has been difficult in conventional organic fluorescent coloring matters to allow a molecular packing structure in a crystal lattice to variously change to investigate an influence thereof exerted to light absorption and a fluorescent property of an organic fluorescent coloring matter in a solid state.
  • the present inventors have created previously as substances for solving the above points, novel fluorescent coloring matters having a clathrate-forming ability capable of changing an intrinsic color and a fluorescent luminescence which the coloring matters are endowed with to a large extent by allowing various organic low molecular compounds (organic guest molecules) to be included therein in a solid state (refer to, for example, “Chem. Lett.”, p. 9 (1996), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 837 (1999), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 714 (2000), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 808 (2001) and “J. Chem. Perkin Trans.”, vol. 2, p. 700 to 714 and p. 708 to 714 (2002)).
  • Organic electroluminescent elements (hereinafter referred to as organic EL elements) are completely solid elements and can produce displays which are light-weight and thin and which are driven at low voltage, and therefore they are actively researched in various fields at present.
  • the largest technical subject for producing displays from organic EL elements is development of a full colorization method. Light emissions of blue, green and red colors have to be finely arranged in order to produce such full color displays, and three methods of a three-color separate coating method, a color filter method and a color-changing method are considered as the method therefor at present.
  • the color-changing method makes it easy to produce large-scaled displays as compared with the three-color separate coating method, and it has the advantage that a loss in the luminance is small as compared with that in the color filter method. Accordingly, the present inventors have been investigating full colorization of organic EL elements by the color-changing method.
  • a color-changing film used for changing a blue color emitted to a green color and a red color has to be finely patterned.
  • a color-changing film is constituted from a fluorescent coloring matter and a resin for dispersing it, and a fine processing property is required to this resin itself in order to highly finely pattern the film.
  • color-changing material compositions prepared by using basic resins such as vinylpyridine derivatives and aminostyrene derivatives are used in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
  • color-changing material compositions prepared by using ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 106888/1997; and color-changing material compositions comprising unsaturated group-containing compounds obtained by reacting polybasic carboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof with reaction products of epoxy compounds and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and at least one fluorescent substance selected from fluorescent coloring matters and fluorescent pigments are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 119645/2000.
  • the above color-changing material compositions have had the problems that when a color-changing film containing a coumarin base coloring matter as a coloring matter absorbing blue light is continued to be irradiated with blue light emitted from an organic EL, the coumarin base coloring matter is decomposed and can not sufficiently absorb blue light of a light source to allow it to be transmitted and that the color-changing property is deteriorated or the coloring matter is deposited during storage depending on the resin composition to make it impossible to use the film.
  • the present invention has been made in order to solve the problems described above, and a an object of the present invention is to provide a novel hetero-polycyclic compound which functions as a conventional organic coloring matter and organic fluorescent coloring matter or as an organic fluorescent coloring matter having a clathrate-forming ability and a fluorescent property and capable of changing the solid optical properties (color tone and fluorescent property) of the coloring matter to a large extent by allowing organic guest molecules to be included therein and which is suitably used for various applications, and a coloring matter and a pigment or a dye which are prepared by using the above compound.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a color-changing material composition prepared by using the above compound, which is not deteriorated in a color-changing performance even after used for long time and which is prevented from being unusable due to deposition of the coloring matter during storage, and a color-changing film produced by using the same.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to novel hetero-polycyclic compounds, and coloring matters, pigments or dyes, color-changing material compositions and color-changing films, which are produced by using the above compounds, specifically to color-changing material compositions which are not deteriorated in a color-changing performance even after used for long time and which are prevented from being unusable due to deposition of coloring matters during storage and color-changing films produced by using the same, and novel hetero-polycyclic compounds, coloring matters and pigments or dyes which actualize them.
    • RELATED ART
  • Organic fluorescent coloring matters have so far been used in the wide fields as coloring matters for fluorescence-changing films in various display equipments and as coloring matters for dye lasers, copy prevention, solar energy changing and fluorescent films in green houses, in addition to uses as dyes and pigments.
  • The organic fluorescent coloring matters used for the above applications are strongly desired to be controlled in a fluorescent wavelength in a solid state and improved in a luminous intensity. However, it is known that in general, a fluorescent intensity of an organic fluorescent coloring matter in a solid state is weak as compared with the fluorescent intensity thereof in a solution state. It is the existing situation that this phenomenon is neglected as concentration quenching and that the details thereof are not known well. This is because it has been difficult in conventional organic fluorescent coloring matters to allow a molecular packing structure in a crystal lattice to variously change to investigate an influence thereof exerted to light absorption and a fluorescent property of an organic fluorescent coloring matter in a solid state.
  • The present inventors have created previously as substances for solving the above points, novel fluorescent coloring matters having a clathrate-forming ability capable of changing an intrinsic color and a fluorescent luminescence which the coloring matters are endowed with to a large extent by allowing various organic low molecular compounds (organic guest molecules) to be included therein in a solid state (refer to, for example, “Chem. Lett.”, p. 9 (1996), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 837 (1999), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 714 (2000), “Chem. Lett.”, p. 808 (2001) and “J. Chem. Perkin Trans.”, vol. 2, p. 700 to 714 and p. 708 to 714 (2002)). Use of the above fluorescent coloring matters having a clathrate-forming ability makes it possible to variously change orientation and arrangement of the coloring matter molecules on a molecular level by allowing organic guest molecules to be included therein, and this makes it possible to change the solid optical properties (color tone and fluorescent property) of the coloring matters to a large extent.
  • Accordingly, utilization of the above characteristics makes it possible to obtain basic knowledge regarding correlation between a packing structure of coloring matter molecules and light absorption and fluorescent luminescence thereof in a solid state, which has not yet sufficiently been clarified, and this makes it possible to create fluorescent organic solid materials having optical properties which meet various needs.
  • Organic electroluminescent elements (hereinafter referred to as organic EL elements) are completely solid elements and can produce displays which are light-weight and thin and which are driven at low voltage, and therefore they are actively researched in various fields at present. In particular, the largest technical subject for producing displays from organic EL elements is development of a full colorization method. Light emissions of blue, green and red colors have to be finely arranged in order to produce such full color displays, and three methods of a three-color separate coating method, a color filter method and a color-changing method are considered as the method therefor at present.
  • Among them, the color-changing method makes it easy to produce large-scaled displays as compared with the three-color separate coating method, and it has the advantage that a loss in the luminance is small as compared with that in the color filter method. Accordingly, the present inventors have been investigating full colorization of organic EL elements by the color-changing method.
  • When producing a full color display by using this color-changing method, a color-changing film used for changing a blue color emitted to a green color and a red color has to be finely patterned. Further, a color-changing film is constituted from a fluorescent coloring matter and a resin for dispersing it, and a fine processing property is required to this resin itself in order to highly finely pattern the film. In order to meet the above purposes, color-changing material compositions prepared by using basic resins such as vinylpyridine derivatives and aminostyrene derivatives are used in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 208944/1997; color-changing material compositions prepared by using ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 106888/1997; and color-changing material compositions comprising unsaturated group-containing compounds obtained by reacting polybasic carboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof with reaction products of epoxy compounds and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and at least one fluorescent substance selected from fluorescent coloring matters and fluorescent pigments are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 119645/2000.
  • However, the above color-changing material compositions have had the problems that when a color-changing film containing a coumarin base coloring matter as a coloring matter absorbing blue light is continued to be irradiated with blue light emitted from an organic EL, the coumarin base coloring matter is decomposed and can not sufficiently absorb blue light of a light source to allow it to be transmitted and that the color-changing property is deteriorated or the coloring matter is deposited during storage depending on the resin composition to make it impossible to use the film.
    • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems described above, and a an object of the present invention is to provide a novel hetero-polycyclic compound which functions as a conventional organic coloring matter and organic fluorescent coloring matter or as an organic fluorescent coloring matter having a clathrate-forming ability and a fluorescent property and capable of changing the solid optical properties (color tone and fluorescent property) of the coloring matter to a large extent by allowing organic guest molecules to be included therein and which is suitably used for various applications, and a coloring matter and a pigment or a dye which are prepared by using the above compound. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a color-changing material composition prepared by using the above compound, which is not deteriorated in a color-changing performance even after used for long time and which is prevented from being unusable due to deposition of the coloring matter during storage, and a color-changing film produced by using the same.

To specifically give the examples thereof, the acetophenones include acetophenone, 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, p-methylacetophenone, p-dimethylaminopropiophenone, dichloroacetophenone, trichloroacetophenone and p-t-butylacetophenone; the benzophenones include benzophenone, 2-chlorobenzophenone and p,p′-bisdimethylaminobenzophenone; the benzoin ethers include benzyl, benzoin, benzoin methyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether and benzoin isobutyl ether; the sulfur compounds include benzyl methyl ketal, thioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, 2-methylthioxanthone and 2-isopropylthioxanthone; the anthraquinones include 2-ethylanthraquinone, octamethylanthraquinone, 1,2-benzanthraquinone and 2,3-diphenylanthraquinone; the organic peroxide compounds include azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide and cumene peroxide; and the thiols include 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole. Only one kind of the above photopolymerization initiators and sensitizers can be used alone, and they can be used in combination of two or more kinds thereof.
  • Further, a compound which does not act as the photopolymerization initiator and the sensitizer in itself but can increase the abilities of the photopolymerization initiator and the sensitizer by using in combination with the compounds described above can be added as well. Such compound includes, for example, tertiary amines such as triethanolamine which exert an effect by using in combination with benzophenone.
  • A preferred use amount of the above photopolymerization initiators and sensitizers is 0 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the component (D). If the use amount is 10 parts by weight or less, light is liable to reach the inside, and the uncured part is not produced. In addition, an adhesion between a substrate and the resin is good, and a fluorescence of the coloring matter is not reduced.
  • Further, transparent resins such as oligomers or polymers of melamine resins, phenol resins, alkid resins, polyurethane resins, polyester resins and polyamide resins, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aromatic sulfonamide resins, urea resins and benzoguanamine resins can be added to the color-changing material composition of the present invention in order to raise a fluorescence yield of the fluorescent coloring matter, and the melamine resins and the benzoguanamine resins are particularly preferred. The above resins can be used as long as the properties of the color-changing material composition and the color-changing film are not damaged. The preferred use amount thereof is 200 parts by weight or less, more preferably 100 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the methacrylic acid ester-methacrylic acid copolymer of the component (C). If the use amount is 200 parts by weight or less, problems are not likely to be brought about on the tacking property after pre-curing.
  • The color-changing material composition of the present invention can be blended, if necessary, with additives such as curing accelerator, a heat polymerization inhibitor, a plasticizer, a filler, a solvent, a defoaming agent and a leveling agent. The curing accelerator includes, for example, perbenzoic acid derivatives, peracetic acid and benzophenones; the heat polymerization inhibitor includes, for example, hydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, pyrogallol, t-butylcatechol and phenothiazine; the plasticizer includes, for example, butyl terephthalate, dioctyl terephthalate and tricresyl; the filler includes, for example, glass fiber, silica, mica and alumina; and for example, phosphorus base, fluorine base and acryl base compounds can suitably be used as the defoaming agent and the leveling agent.
  • The color-changing film of the present invention shall be explained below.
  • The color-changing film of the present invention comprises the color-changing material composition of the present invention described above, and the color-changing material composition described above is used to be turned into a film, or the color-changing film can be formed on a substrate by means of coating thereon. In particular, the color-changing film having a desired pattern can be formed at a good accuracy by using a photolithography method.
  • A solvent used in dissolving various components used for the color-changing material composition in a solvent according to the production processes for the color-changing film is preferably ketones, esters or lactones. The ketones include methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and cyclohexane, and the esters include 2-acetoxy-1-ethoxypropane, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve; butyl cellosolve and cellosolve acetate. The lactones include γ-butyrolactone and the like.
  • In producing the color-changing film of the present invention by a photolithography method, a solution produced from the photosensitive color-changing material composition described above is usually coated on the surface of a substrate in the form of a solution, and then the solvent is dried (pre-baked) by pre-curing. Thereafter, a photomask is applied on the coating film thus obtained and irradiated with active light to cure an exposed part, and development in which a non-exposed part is eluted by using a weak alkaline aqueous solution is further carried out to form a pattern, followed by further carrying out post-baking for after-drying.
  • The substrate on which the solution of the color-changing material composition is coated is preferably a flat substrate in which a transmittance of light in a visible area of 400 to 700 nm is 50% or more. To specific, a glass substrate and a polymer plate are used therefor. In particular, soda lime glass, barium strontium-containing glass, lead glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, barium borosilicate glass or quartz can suitably be used as the glass substrate. The polymer plate includes polycarbonate, acryl, polyethylene terephthalate, polyether sulfide or polysulfone. Any of methods using a roller coater, a land coater and a spinner in addition to a publicly known solution impregnating method and spray method can be used as a method for coating the solution of the color-changing material composition of the present invention on the substrate. A coating film is formed by removing (pre-baking) the solvent after coating in a desired thickness.
  • This pre-baking is carried out by heating by means of an oven and a hot plate. The heating temperature and the heating time in pre-baking are suitably selected according to the solvent used, and it is carried out, for example, at a temperature of 80 to 150° C. for 1 to 30 minutes. Exposure carried out after pre-baking is carried out by means of an exposure machine, and only a resist of a part corresponding to a pattern is sensitized by carrying out exposure via a photomask. The exposure machine and the exposure irradiation conditions can suitably be selected, and visible rays, UV rays, X-rays and electron beams can be used as the irradiated light. The dose shall not specifically be restricted and is selected in a range of, for example, 1 to 3000 mJ/cm2.
  • Alkali development after exposure is carried out for the purpose of removing the resist of a part which is not exposed, and a desired pattern is formed by this development. Aqueous solutions of, for example, carbonates of alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals can be used as a developing solution suited to the above alkali development. In particular, the development is preferably carried out at a temperature of 10 to 50° C., preferably 20 to 40° C. using a weak alkaline aqueous solution containing 1 to 3% by weight of carbonate such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and lithium carbonate, and fine images can precisely be formed by means of a commercial developing machine and supersonic washing machine.
  • The development is carried out in the manner described above, and then heat treatment (post-baking) is carried out on the conditions of 80 to 220° C. and 10 to 120 minutes. This post-baking is carried out in order to raise an adhesion between the color-changing film subjected to patterning and the substrate. This is carried out by heating by means of an oven and a hot plate as is the case with pre-baking.
  • When the binder material is a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, an exposing step is not required. The film of the thermosetting resin is cured by carrying out heat treatment (post-baking) after pre-baking.
  • A film thickness required for changing a wavelength of an incident light to a desired wavelength has to be suitably selected for a film thickness of the color-changing film of the present invention, and the film thickness falls in a range of preferably 1 to 100 μm, more preferably 1 to 20 μm.
  • The color-charging film of the present invention can be equipped with a color filter in order to obtain a desired wavelength to control a color purity. For example, perylene base pigments, lake pigments, azo base pigments, quinacridone base pigments, anthraquinone base pigments, anthracene base pigments, isoindoline base pigments, isoindolinone base pigments, phthalocyanine base pigments, triphenylmethane basic pigments, indanthrone base pigments, indophenol base pigments, cyanine base pigments and dioxazine base pigments can suitably be used alone or in the form of coloring matters comprising mixtures of two or more kinds thereof, or in the form of solid matters obtained by dissolving or dispersing the coloring matters in binder resins.
  • The examples of a structure assumed when the color-changing film of the present invention is actually used shall be shown below:
    • (1) light source/color-changing film
    • (2) light source/substrate/color-changing film
    • (3) light source/color-changing film/substrate

    • (9) light source/substrate/color-changing film/color filter/substrate
    • (10) light source/color-changing film/color filter/substrate
  • In using the structures described above, the respective structural elements may be laminated in order or may be stuck together. The order of lamination in the above color-changing film shall not specifically be restricted and may be carried out from either direction, and it may be prepared from the left side to the right side or from the right side to the left side.
  • The color-changing film of the present invention preferably absorbs a light of a light source to emit a light having a longer wavelength, and an organic EL element, LED (light-emitting diode), a cold-cathode tube, an inorganic EL element, a fluorescent lamp or an incandescent lamp is used as the light source described above, and the organic EL element and the LED element which emit less UV rays deteriorating coloring matters are particularly preferred.
  • Next, the present invention shall be explained in further details with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention shall by no means be restricted by these examples.
  • Various evaluations of the color-changing films carried out in the following examples were carried out in the following manners.
    • (1) Evaluation of Color-Changing Performance
  • A specific example of a case where a color-changing film is combined with an organic EL element to constitute a colorized organic EL element is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in the same drawing, the colorized organic EL element comprises, looking from a light-outgoing side, a glass substrate 1, a color-changing film 2, an anode 3, an organic EL luminescent layer 4 and a cathode 5. The organic EL luminescent layer 4 is liable to be deteriorated in the presence of moisture and oxygen, and therefore it is sealed from a cathode 5 side by means of an opposed glass substrate so that the whole element part including the color-changing film is covered.
  • In the colorized organic EL element having the above structure, the performances of the individual elements are scattered, and organic EL-emitting light itself which is an excited light has a half life, so that it is difficult to evaluate distinctively only a fluorescent performance and a durability of the color-changing film itself.
  • Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a test piece prepared by forming a color-changing film on a transparent glass plate was prepared, and a blue organic EL element separately prepared which has a peak wavelength suitably selected in a range of 440 to 470 nm according to a coloring matter used for the color-changing film was superposed thereon and irradiated with a blue light to measure a spectrum of a transmitted light obtained through the color-changing film and a color filter in a two degree visual field by means of a spectral luminance meter (CS-1000 manufactured by Minolta Co., Ltd.).
  • It was compared with a luminous spectrum of the blue organic EL element to identify a relative fluorescent intensity of the color-changing film in the following manner:

  • color-changing efficiency=(luminance of transmitted light obtained through the color-changing film and the color filter)/(luminance of the EL element)
  • Further, the color coordinate was determined from the measured spectrum.
  • The performances of the color-changing films can be compared with each other in the manner described above by using the same EL element.
  • (2) Excited Light Continuous Irradiation Test (Evaluation of Coloring Matter-Holding Rate) onto Color-Changing Film
  • Since the EL element has a half life of a luminous intensity, a blue organic EL element having a peak in a wavelength of 470 nm was used as an exited light source having a constant intensity, and the exited light source and the color-changing film (the test piece prepared in (1)) were arranged, as shown in FIG. 3, in a nitrogen-substitutable chamber so that it was bought into contact with the light source, and they were left under dry nitrogen atmosphere to continuously light the blue organic EL element at 400 nit for 1000 hours.
  • The coloring matter-holding rate was calculated by comparing the absorbances (absorbances originating in coumarin 6 in the case of the comparative examples) of the coloring matter in the test piece before and after irradiated with a blue light.

  • The color-changing material compositions obtained in Examples 4 to 13 were used to produce films on a glass substrate of 2.5 cm×5 cm by a spin coater method. The films were produced on the conditions of a revolution number of 1000 rpm of the spin coater and a revolution time of 10 seconds, and they were subjected to drying treatment at 120° C. for 2 minutes.
  • Thereafter, the films produced in Examples 4 to 11 were irradiated with UV rays of 300 mJ/cm2 and then subjected to heat treatment at 200° C. for 60 minutes to obtain color-changing films having a film thickness of 10 μm or less. The film produced in Example 12 was subjected only to heat treatment at 200° C. for 60 minutes. Further, the color-changing material composition prepared in Example 13 was coated on a commercial blue LED element and dried at 70° C.
  • The color-changing films thus obtained were used to (1) evaluate a color-changing performance and (2) determine an initial color-changing efficiency and a chromaticity coordinate using a blue EL element having a peak in a wavelength of 470 nm according to a method of an excited light continuous irradiation test (evaluation of a coloring matter-holding rate) onto the color-changing film. Further, the blue EL element was irradiated at 400 nit for 1000 hours, and then a chromaticity and a coloring matter-holding rate thereof were measured. The results thereof are shown in Table 8.
