Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions containing anthraquinone dyes and their use for the production of colour filters.
  • pigments have customarily been used as colorants for colour filters employed in liquid crystal displays, flat-panel displays, colour image pickup tubes, colour-copying machines etc.
  • pigment containing colour filters often suffer from inferior light transmission and low contrast because light is scattered by the pigment particles.
  • a further problem frequently occurs during the preparation of the pigment containing photosensitive resin. Prior to coating the resin in which the pigment is uniformly dispersed should be passed through a filter to eliminate dust and large particles whereupon clogging of the filter is sometimes caused by coagulated pigment particles.

Description

Compositions containing Anthraquinone Dyes
The present invention relates to compositions containing anthraquinone dyes and their use for the production of colour filters.
Hitherto, pigments have customarily been used as colorants for colour filters employed in liquid crystal displays, flat-panel displays, colour image pickup tubes, colour-copying machines etc. However, pigment containing colour filters often suffer from inferior light transmission and low contrast because light is scattered by the pigment particles. A further problem frequently occurs during the preparation of the pigment containing photosensitive resin. Prior to coating the resin in which the pigment is uniformly dispersed should be passed through a filter to eliminate dust and large particles whereupon clogging of the filter is sometimes caused by coagulated pigment particles.
These drawbacks can be overcome by the application of soluble dyes instead of pigments, but dyes generally do not provide sufficient thermostability and light stability.
Moreover, the use of dyes in colour filters often requires a special treatment for the prevention of mixing of individual colours, for example application of protection films of polyurethane or epoxy resin or subjection of the surface of the dyed medium to chemical treatment with tannic acid or the like.
It has now been found that the problems described above can be solved by a resist formulation containing an alkali-soluble binder and a specific anthraquinone dye.
Accordingly, the invention relates to a composition containing (A) an alkali-soluble binder and
(B) an anthraquinone dye of formula

wherein Ri, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently of the other hydrogen, Ci-C8alkyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen atoms, hydroxy groups, mercapto groups, amino groups, phenyl groups or CrC8alkoxy groups, or -X-[-O-Y]n-ZH, wherein X and Y are each independently of the other
C2-C6alkylene, Z denotes oxygen or sulphur and n is a number from 1 to 10, with the proviso that at least one of Ri and R2 is not hydrogen and at least one of R3 and R4 is not hydrogen and at least one of Ri, R2, R3 and R4 is a hydroxy- or mercapto-substituted d-C8alkyl group, and R5 to R10 are each independently of the other hydrogen or CrC8alkyl.
The alkali-soluble binder (A) is preferably a linear organic polymer that is soluble in an organic solvent and developable with a weak alkali aqueous solution.
As the binder used in the color filter resist composition, which is soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution and insoluble in water, for example, a homopolymer of a polymerizable compound having one or more acid groups and one or more polymerizable unsaturated bonds in the molecule, or a copolymer of two or more kinds thereof, and a copolymer of one or more polymerizable compounds having one or more unsaturated bonds copolymerizable with these compounds and containing no acid group, can be used. Such compounds can be obtained by copolymerizing one or more kinds of a low molecular compound having one or more acid groups and one or more polymerizable unsaturated bonds in the molecule with one or more polymerizable compounds having one or more unsaturated bonds copolymerizable with these compounds and containing no acid group. Examples of acids groups are, a -COOH group, a -SO3H group, a -SO2NHCO- group, a phenolic hydroxy group, a -SO2NH- group, and a -CO-NH-CO- group. Among those, a high molecular compound having a -COOH group is particularly preferred.
Preferably, the organic polymer binder in the color filter resist composition comprises an alkali soluble copolymer comprising, as addition polymerizable monomer units, at least an unsaturated organic acid compound such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and the like. It is preferred to use as a further co-monomer for the polymer binder an unsaturated organic acid ester compound such as methyl acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, benzyl (meth)acrylate, styrene and the like to balance properties such as alkaline solubility, adhesion rigidity, chemical re¬ sistance etc..
The organic polymer binder can either be a random co-polymer or a block-co-polymer, for example, such as described in US 5368976.
Examples of polymerizable compounds having one or more acid group and one or more polymerizable unsaturated bond in the molecule include the following compounds:

Figure imgf000018_0004
Figure imgf000019_0001
The photoinitiator may be used in combination with a sensitizer and a photostabiliser.
The total content of the photoinitiator is preferably from 0.01 to 10 % by weight, preferably from 0.05 to 8 % by weight, and particularly preferably from 1 to 5 % by weight, based on the solid content of the composition.
Upon preparation of the dye-containing curable composition, a solvent is generally used. The solvent is not particularly limited as far as it satisfies solubility to the respective components and coating property of the dye-containing curable composition and it is preferably selected under particular consideration of the solubility of the alkali-soluble binder, the coating property and the safety.
Suitable solvents include esters, e.g. ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, butyl butyrate and methyl methoxyacetate, ethers like diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, polyethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA), methylcellosolve acetate, butylcarbitol acetate and tetrahydrofurane, ketones, e.g. 2-butanone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone, and aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene.
Other conventional dyes can be used in combination with the dyes of formula (1), for example phthalocyanine dyes like the compounds of formula (201) or (202) or cyanopyridine dyes like the compuds of formula (203) or (204)
(201),
Figure imgf000019_0002
Figure imgf000020_0001
Figure imgf000020_0002

A further object of the invention is a composition containing
(A) an alkali-soluble binder,
(B) a dye of formula (1) as described above, and
(C) a pigment. Various kinds of additives may be added to the dye-containing curable compositions according to the invention, such as fillers, polymers, surfactants, dispersing agents, adhesion accelerating agents, antioxidants, UV absorbing agents and aggregation preventing agents.
The invention further relates to a process for producing a colour filter comprising the steps of
(a) coating a support layer with the dye-containing composition as described above,
(b) irradiating the coated layer through a mask and
(c) developing the exposed composition to form a pattern.
In the process for producing a colour filter according to the invention, the dye-containing curable composition is coated on a support by conventional coating methods like spin coating, flow coating and roll coating to form a radiation-sensitive composition layer which is then exposed through a prescribed mask pattern, followed by development to form a coloured pattern. Thereafter, thus formed coloured pattern is cured by heating.
As radiation used herein, an ultraviolet ray such as g-line, h-line and i-line is particularly preferred.
Examples of the support include soda glass, Pyrex® glass and quartz glass which are used in a liquid crystal display device or the like, those having a transparent electroconductive film adhered, and a photoelectric conversion elemnt substrate, such as a silicon substrate, and a complementary metallic oxide semiconductor (CMOS), which are used in a solid state image sensing device or the like.
An undercoating layer may be provided, depending on necessity, on the support for improvement of adhesion to the upper layer, prevention of diffusion of substances, and planarisation of the surface of the substrate.
When the dye of formula (1) is used in combination with a pigment, dye and pigment can be applied in different layers in either sequence on the same pixel or they can be applied in different pixels.
The dyes of formula (1) are characterised by excellent thermostability and light stability as well as by outstanding immobilisation of the dye into the final coated layer. The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention. In the Examples, unless otherwise indicated, parts are parts by weight and percentages are percent by weight. The tempera¬ tures are given in degrees Celsius. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that between grams and cubic centimetres.
General procedure:
