Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a photosensitive coloring composition for color filters which is used in production of optical color filters used in color televisions, liquid crystal display elements, solid imaging devices, cameras, etc. More particularly, the invention relates to a photosensitive composition for black matrix which is endowed with an excellent light-shielding performance as well as high sensitivity and excellent developability, and a method for enhancing photosensitivity by using the photosensitive coloring composition.
  • Color filters are typically produced by forming a black matrix on the surface of a transparent substrate such as a glass sheet and a plastic sheet, followed by sequentially forming pixels of three or more different hues such as red (R) , green (G) and blue (B) in a stripe-like pattern, a mosaic pattern, etc.
  • a black matrix is typically provided in a lattice-like, a stripe-like, or a mosaic pattern among the color patterns of R, G, and B, and works to enhance contrast by preventing intermingling of the colors or to prevent mis-operation of a TFT caused by light leakage.
  • the black matrix must have a high light- shielding performance.
  • black matrices are typically formed from metallic film such as chromium film.
  • metal such as chromium is vapor-deposited on a transparent substrate through a photolithography step, and the formed chromium layer is etched, to thereby produce a thin black matrix with high light-shielding performance.

Further, other objects of the present invention are to enhance image quality of color filter and realize non- pollutive black matrix by using resin.
