It is understood, that the photoinitiators according to the present invention, i.e. the compounds of the formulae I, II, and III in the color filter formulations described in EP320264 can replace the triazine initiator compounds.

- the transparent electrode layer can either be applied on the surface of the transparent substrate or can be provided on the surface of the red, green and blue picture elements and the black matrix.
- the transparent substrate is for example a glass substrate which can additionally have an electrode layer on its surface.
- an inorganic black matrix can be formed from deposited (i.e. sputtered) metal (i.e. chromium) film on the transparent substrate by a suitable imaging process, for example utilizing photolithographic patterning by means of an etch resist, etching the inorganic layer in the areas not protected by the etch resist and then removing the remaining etch resist.
- the black matrix can be applied. It can either be applied directly on the transparent substrate prior to formation of the red, green and blue (RGB) colour filter as already mentioned above, or it can be applied after the RGB colour filter is formed on the substrate.
- RGB red, green and blue
- the black matrix can also be applied on the substrate opposite to the RGB color filter element-carrying substrate, which is separated from the former by a liquid crystal layer.
- an additional overcoat film as aprotective layer can be applied on the color filter layer prior to deposition of the electrode layer, for example, as described in US 5650263.
- photosensitive resin or thermosetting resin compositions are employed.
- the photosensitive composition of the present invention can also be used to form such overcoat layers, because a cured film of the composition is excellent in flatness, hardness, chemical and thermal resistance, transparency especially in a visible re- gion, adhesion to a substrate, and suitability for forming a transparent conductive film, e.g., an ITO film, thereon.
- the photosensitive compositions of the present invention can be used for generating red, green and blue color pixels and a black matrix, for the manufacture of a color filter, regardless of the above described differences in processing, regardless, of additional layers which can be applied and regardless of differences in the design of the color filter.
- the use of a composition according to the present invention to form colored elements shall not be regarded as limited by different designs and manufacturing processes of such color filters.

It is useful as well for a recording material, a resist material, a protective layer, a dielectric layer, in display applica- tions and display elements, a paint, and a printing ink.
- the photosensitive compositions according to the invention are also suitable for manufacturing interlayer insulating layers or dielectric layers in a liquid crystal display, and more particularly in a reflection type liquid crystal display including an active matrix type display having a thin film transistor (TFT) as a switching device, and a passive matrix type without a switching device.
- TFT thin film transistor
- liquid crystal displays have, for example, been widely used for pocket-type TV sets and terminal devices for communication by virtue of its small thickness and light weight.
- a reflection type liquid crystal display without necessity of using a back light is in particular in demand because it is ultra-thin and light-weight, and it can significantly reduce power con- sumption.
- a certain reflection type liquid crystal display is designed to include a pixel electrode having reflection function.
- the reflection type liquid crystal display includes an insulating substrate and an opposing substrate spaced away from the insulating substrate. A space between the substrates is filled with liquid crystals.
- a gate electrode is formed on the insulating substrate, and both the gate electrode and the insulating substrate are covered with a gate insulating film.
- a semiconductor layer is then formed on the gate insulating film above the gate electrode.
- a source electrode and a drain electrode are also formed on the gate insulating film in contact with the semiconductor layer. The source electrode, the drain electrode, the semiconductor layer, and the gate electrode cooperate with one another to thereby constitute a bottom gate type TFT as a switching device.
- An interlayer insulating film is formed covering the source electrode, the drain electrode, the semiconductor layer, and the gate insulating film therewith.
- a contact hole is formed throughout the interlayer insulating film on the drain electrode.
- a pixel electrode made of alum- inum is formed on both the interlayer insulating film and an inner sidewall of the contact hole.
- the drain electrode of the TFT is eventually in contact with the pixel electrode through the interlayer insulating film.
- the interlayer insulating layer is generally designed to have a roughened surface by which the pixel electrode acts as a reflection plate which diffuses lights to get a wider angle for viewing (angle of visibility).
- the reflection type liquid crystal display remarkably enhances an efficiency of using lights by virtue that the pixel electrode acts as a light reflection plate.
- the interlayer insulating film is designed to have projections and recesses by photolithography.
- photolithography methods using positive and negative photoresists are used.
- the compositions according to the invention are especially suitable.
- the photosensitive compositions according to the invention can further be used for manufacturing spacers, which control a cell gap of the liquid crystal part in liquid crystal display panels. Since the properties of light transmitted or reflected through the liquid crystal layer in a liquid crystal display are dependent on the cell gap, the thickness accuracy and uniformity over the pixel array are critical parameters for the performance of the liquid crystal display unit.
- the spacing between the substrates in the cell is maintained constant by sparsely distributing glass or polymer spheres about several micrometers in diameter as spacers between the substrates. The spacers are thus held between the substrates to maintain the distance between the substrates at a constant value. The distance is determined by the diameter of the spacers.
- the spacers assure the minimum spacing between the substrates; i.e., they prevent a decrease in distance between the substrates. However, they cannot prevent the substrates from being separated apart from each other, i.e., the increase in distance between the substrates. Additionally, this method of using spacer beads has problems of the uniformity in the diameter of spacer beads and difficulty in the even dispersion of spacer beads on the panel, as well as nonuniform orientation and decrease in brightness and/or optical aperture depending on the location of spacers on pixel array region. Liquid crystal displays having a large image display area have recently been attracting much attention. However, the increase in the area of a liquid crystal cell generally produces the distortion of the substrates constituting the cell.
- Photosensitive compositions for producing protective layer with spacers for color filters are disclosed in JP 2000-81701 -A and dry film type photoresists for spacer materials are also disclosed in JP 11-174459-A and JP 1 1-174464-A.
- the photosensitive compositions, liquid and dry film photoresists are comprising at least an alka- line or acid soluble binder polymer, a radically polymerizable monomer, and a radical initiator.
- thermally crosslinkable components such as epoxide and carboxylic acid may additionally be included.
- the steps to form spacers using a photosensitive composition are as follows: a photosensitive composition is applied to the substrate, for instance a color filter panel and after the substrate is prebaked, it is exposed to light through a mask. Then, the substrate is developed with a developer and patterned to form the desired spacers. When the composition contains some thermosetting components, usually a postbaking is carried out to thermally cure the composition.
- the photocurable compositions according to the invention are suitable for producing spacers for liquid crystal displays (as described above) because of their high sensitivity.
- the photosensitive compositions according to the invention are also suitable for manufacturing microlens arrays used in liquid crystal display panels, image sensors and the like.
- Microlenses are microscopic passive optical components that fit on active optoelectronic devices such as detectors, displays, and light emitting devices(light-emitting diodes, transversal and vertical cavity lasers) to improve their optical input or output quality.
- active optoelectronic devices such as detectors, displays, and light emitting devices(light-emitting diodes, transversal and vertical cavity lasers) to improve their optical input or output quality.
- the areas of applications are wide and cover areas such as telecommunications, information technology, audio-visual services, solar cells, detectors, solid-state light sources, and optical interconnects.
- Present optical systems use a variety of techniques to obtain efficient coupling between microlenses and microoptical devices.
- the microlens arrays are used for condensing illuminating light on the picture element regions of a nonluminescent display device, such as a liquid crystal display devices, to increase the brightness of the display, for condensing incident light or as a means for forming an image on the photoelectric conversion regions of a line image sensor used for example in facsimiles and the like to improve the sensitivity of these devices, and for forming an image to be printed on a photosensitive means used in liquid crystal printers or light emitting diode (LED) printers.
- a nonluminescent display device such as a liquid crystal display devices
- a line image sensor used for example in facsimiles and the like to improve the sensitivity of these devices
- LED light emitting diode
- the most common application is their use to improve the efficiency of photodetector arrays of a solid-state image sensing device such as a charge coupled device (CCD).
- CCD charge coupled device
- the collection of as much light as possible in each detector element or pixel is wanted. If a microlens is put on top of each pixel, the lens collects incoming light and focuses it onto an active area that is smaller than the size of the lens.
- microlens arrays can be produced by a variety of methods;
- (1 ) A method for obtaining convex lenses wherein a pattern of the lenses in a planar configuration is drawn on a thermoplastic resin by a conventional photolithographic technique or the like, and then the thermoplastic resin is heated to a temperature above the softening point of the resin to have flowability, thereby causing a sag in the pattern edge (so called "reflowing") (see, e.g., JP 60-38989-A, JP 60-165623-A, JP 61-67003-A, and JP 2000-39503-A).
- reflowing see, e.g., JP 60-38989-A, JP 60-165623-A, JP 61-67003-A, and JP 2000-39503-A.
- a pattern of the lenses can be obtained by exposure of this resin to light.
- a method for forming a plastic or glass material by the use of a mold or a stamper As lens material, a photocurable resin and a thermosetting resin can be used in this method (see, e.g., WO99/38035).
- a photosensitive resin layer is formed on the upper surface of a supporting substrate.
- the upper surface of the photosensitive resin layer is illuminated with light from a mercury lamp or the like, so that the photosensitive resin layer is exposed to the light.
- the exposed portions of the photosensitive resin layer swell into the shape of convex lenses to form the light condensing layer having a plurality of microlens.
- a method for generating a lens effect wherein a photosensitive resin is exposed to light with a particular intensity distribution to form a distribution pattern of refractive index depending upon the light intensity (see, e.g., JP 60-72927-A and JP 60-166946-A).
- the photosensitive compositions according to the invention can be used in any one of the above-mentioned methods to form microlens arrays using photocurable resin compositions.
- a particular class of techniques concentrates on forming microlenses in thermoplastic resins like photoresist.
- An example is published by Popovic et al. in the reference SPIE 898, pp.23-25 (1988).
- the technique named reflow technique, comprises the steps of defining the lenses' footprint in a thermoplastic resin, e.g. by photolithography in a photosensitive resin like a photoresist, and subsequently heating this material above its reflow temperature. The surface tension draws the island of photoresist into a spherical cap with a volume equal to the original island before the reflow.
- This cap is a plano-convex microlens. Advantages of the technique are, amongst others, the simplicity, the reproducibility, and the possibility of integration directly on top of a light-emitting or light-detecting optoelectronic device.
- an overcoat layer is formed on the patterned lens units with a rectangular shape prior to reflowing to avoid a sagging of the island of the resin in the middle without reflow into a spherical cap in the reflow step.
- the overcoat acts as a permanent protective layer.
- the coating layer is also made of a photosensitive composition.
- Microlens arrays can also be fabricated by the use of a mold or a stamper as, for example, dis- closed in EP0932256.
- a process of manufacturing the planar microlens array is as follows: a release agent is coated on a shaping surface of a stamper on which convex portions are densely arranged, and a photocurable synthetic resin material having a high refractive index is set on the shaping surface of the stamper. Next, the base glass plate is pushed onto the synthetic resin material, thereby spreading the synthetic resin material, and the synthetic resin material is cured by irradiating with ultraviolet radiation or by heating and is shaped to form the convex microlenses. Thereafter the stamper is peeled off.
- a photocurable synthetic resin material having a low refractive index is additionally coated onto the convex microlenses as an adhesive layer and a glass substrate which is made into a cover glass plate is pushed onto the synthetic resin material, thereby spreading the same.
- the synthetic resin material is then cured and finally the planar microlens array is formed.
- a similar method using a mold is applied for the production of a prism sheet, which is used as a part of backlight units for color liquid crystal display panels to enhance the brightness.
- a prism sheet forming a prism row on one side is mounted on the light-emitting surface of the backlight.
- an active energy ray-curable composition is cast and spread in a lens mold which is made of metal, glass or resin and forms the lens shape of the prism row, etc., after which a transparent substrate sheet is placed onto it and active energy rays from an active energy ray-emitting source are irradiated through the sheet for curing.
- the prepared lens sheet is then released from the lens mold to obtain the lens sheet.
- the active energy ray-curable composition used to form the lens section must have a variety of properties, including adhesion to the transparent substrate, and suitable optical characteristics.
- Lenses at least with some photoresists in the prior art are not desirable for some applications since the optical transmittance in the blue end of the optical spectrum is poor.
- the photocurable compositions according to the invention have low yellowing properties, both thermally and photochemically, they are suitable for the production of microlens arrays as described above.
- novel radiation-sensitive compositions are also suitable for photo-lithographic steps used in the production process of plasma display panels (PDP), particularly for the imaging forming process of barrier rib, phosphor layer and electrodes.
- PDP plasma display panels
- the PDP is a planar display for displaying images and information by virtue of the emission of light by gas discharge.
- DC direct current
- AC alternating current
- the principle of the DC type color PDP will be briefly explained.
- the space intervening between two transparent substrates (generally glass plates) is divided into numerous minute cells by latticed barrier ribs interposed between the transparent substrates.
- a discharge gas such as He or Xe
- a phosphor layer which, on being excited by the ultraviolet light generated by the discharge of the discharge gas, emits visible light of three primary colors.
- electrodes are disposed as opposed to each other across the relevant cells.
- the cathodes are formed of a film of transparent electroconductive material such as NESA glass.
- the discharge gas which is sealed in the cells induces plasma discharge and, by virtue of the ultraviolet light radiated consequently, incites the fluorescent elements of red, blue, and green colors to emit lights and effect the display of an image.
- the fluorescent elements of red, blue, and green colors In the full-color display system, three fluorescent elements severally of the three primary colors of red, blue, and green mentioned above jointly form one picture element.
- the cells in the DC type PDP are divided by the component barrier ribs of a lattice, whereas those in the AC type PDP are divided by the barrier ribs which are arranged parallel to each other on the faces of the substrates. In either case, the cells are divided by barrier ribs. These barrier ribs are intended to confine the luminous discharge within a fixed area to preclude false discharge or cross talk between adjacent discharge cells and ensure ideal display.
- compositions according to the invention also find application for the production of one- or more-layered materials for the image recording or image reproduction (copies, reprography), which may be mono- or polychromatic. Furthermore the materials are suitable for color proofing systems.
- this technology formulations containing microcapsules can be applied and for the image production the radiation curing can be followed by a thermal treatment.
- Such systems and technologies and their applications are for example disclosed in US5376459.
- the compounds of the formula I, Il and III are also suitable as photoinitiators in the holographic data storage application.
- Said photoinitiators generate radicals and initiate polymerization of monomer upon irradiation with blue laser radiation, suitable for holographic data storage.
- the wavelength range of the blue laser is 390-420 nm, preferably 400-410 nm and particularly 405 nm.
- Holographic storage systems (holographic recording media) are for example used to record and to retrieve a large amount of data with fast access time.
- the photoinitiators of the invention are for example in particular suitable for systems as described for example in WO 03/021358.
- the holographic data storage system is preferably comprised of a matrix network of low-refractive index matrix precursors and high-refractive index photopolymerizable monomers.
- the matrix precursor and photoactive monomer can be selected such that (a) the reaction by which the matrix precursor is polymerized during the cure is independent from the reaction by which the photoactive monomer will be polymerized during writing of a pattern, e.g. data, and (b) the matrix polymer and the polymer resulting from polymerization of the photoactive monomer (the photopolymer) are compatible with each other.
- the matrix is considered to be formed when the photorecording material, i.e. the matrix material plus the photoactive monomer, photoinitiator and/or additives, exhibits an elastic modulus of at least about 10 5 Pa, generally about 10 5 Pa to about 10 9 Pa.
- the media matrix is formed by in-situ polymerization which yields as cross-linked network in the presence of the photopolymerizable monomers which remain "dissolved” and unreacted.
- the matrix containing unreacted, photopolymerizable monomers can also be formed by other means, for example by using a solid-resin matrix material in which the photoreactive, liquid monomer is homogeneously distributed. Then, monochromatic exposure generates the holographic pattern, which according to the light intensity distribution, polymerizes the photoreactive monomers in the solid pre-formed matrix.
- the unreacted monomers diffuse through the matrix, producing a modulation of the refractive index that is determined by the difference between the refractive indices of the monomer and the matrix and by the relative volume fraction of the monomer.
- the thickness of the recording layer is in the range of several micrometers up to a thickness of one millimeter. Because of such thick holographic data storage layers it is required that the photoinitiator combines high photoreactivity with low absorbance, in order to render the layer transparent at the laser wavelength to assure that the extent of photopolymerization is as little as possible dependent on the exposure depth into the recording layer.
- the photoinitiators of the present invention combine high reactivity with low absorbance at 405 nm and are suitable for this application.
- Dyes and sensitizers can also be added to the formulations. Suitable dyes and sensitizers for blue laser radiation are for example coumarines, xanthones, thioxanthones, see list above. In particular relevant are thioxanthones, coumarins and benzophenones as mentioned under items 1., 2. and 3. in the list given above.
- the photoinitiators allow photopolymerization of monomers in thick layers, such as required for holographic data storage, with high sensitivity and yield recording layers which are sensitive to blue laser radiation.
- the photoinitiators when applied at a concentration of 2-8 wt% in the photosensitive layer of 20 micron thickness yield an absorbance of the layer which comprises the photoinitiator, of less than 0.4, preferably less than 0.2 at the laser wavelength.
- the photoinitiators are in particular suitable for the preparation of optical articles (for example optical waveguides) or holographic recording media e.g. comprising a polymer and an organic photoinitiator as described above, having a maximum absorption at a UV wavelength in the range of 340-450 nm, wherein the refractive index contrast adjusted sensitivity is greater than 3x10 "6 ⁇ n/(mJ/cm 2 ).
- the polymer is formed by polymerizing a material comprising component 1 and component 2, wherein component 1 comprises a NCO-terminated pre-polymer and component 2 comprises a polyol.
- Component 1 is, for example, diphenyl- methane diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, a derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate, a methylenebiscyclohexylisocyanate, a derivative of methyle- nebiscyclohexylisocyanate.
- Component 2 is for example a polyol of propylene oxide.
- the photoactive monomer is an acrylate monomer. In such media the shrinkage induced by writing is usually less than 0.25%.
- Photocuring further is of great importance for printings, since the drying time of the ink is a critical factor for the production rate of graphic products, and should be in the order of fractions of seconds. UV-curable inks are particularly important for screen printing and offset inks.
- the novel mixtures are highly suitable also for producing printing plates.
- This application uses, for example, mixtures of soluble linear polyamides or styrene- /butadiene and/or styrene/isoprene rubber, polyacrylates or polymethyl methacrylates containing carboxyl groups, polyvinyl alcohols or urethane acrylates with photopolymerizable monomers, for example acrylamides and/or methacrylamides, or acrylates and/or methacrylates, and a photoinitiator. Films and plates of these systems (wet or dry) are exposed over the negative (or positive) of the printed original, and the uncured parts are subsequently washed out using an appropriate solvent or aqueous solutions.
- Another field where photocuring is employed is the coating of metals, in the case, for example, of the coating of metal plates and tubes, cans or bottle caps, and the photocuring of polymer coatings, for example of floor or wall coverings based on PVC.
- Examples of the photocuring of paper coatings are the colourless varnishing of labels, record sleeves and book covers.
- the novel photoinitiators for curing shaped articles made from composite compositions.
- the composite compound consists of a self-supporting matrix material, for example a glass fibre fabric, or alternatively, for example, plant fibres [cf. K. -P. Mieck, T. Reussmann in Kunststoffe 85 (1995), 366-370], which is impregnated with the photocuring formulation.
- Shaped parts comprising composite compounds, when produced using the novel compounds, attain a high level of mechanical stability and resistance.
- the novel compounds can also be employed as photocuring agents in moulding, impregnating and coating compositions as are described, for example, in EP7086.
- compositions are gel coat resins, which are subject to stringent requirements regarding curing activity and yellowing resistance, and fibre-reinforced mouldings, for example, light diffusing panels which are planar or have lengthwise or crosswise corrugation.
- Techniques for producing such mouldings such as hand lay-up, spray lay-up, centrifugal casting or filament winding, are described, for example, by P. H. Selden in "Glasfaserverstarkte Kunststoffe", page 610, Springer Verlag Berlin-Heidelberg-New York 1967.
- articles which can be produced by these techniques are boats, fibre board or chipboard panels with a double-sided coating of glass fi- bre-reinforced plastic, pipes, containers, etc.
- moulding, impregnating and coating compositions are UP resin gel coats for mouldings containing glass fibres (GRP), such as corrugated sheets and paper laminates.
- Paper laminates may be based on urea resins or melamine resins.
- the gel coat Prior to production of the laminate, the gel coat is produced on a support (for example a film).
- the novel photocurable compositions can also be used for casting resins or for embedding articles, for example electronic components, etc..
- compositions and compounds according to the invention can be used for the production of holographies, waveguides, optical switches wherein advantage is taken of the development of a difference in the index of refraction between irradiated and unirradiated areas.
- the layer (wet or dry) applied to the support is irradiated imagewise, e.g. through a photomask, with UV or visible light, and the unexposed areas of the layer are removed by treatment with a developer.
- Application of the photocurable layer to metal can also be carried out by electro- deposition.
- the exposed areas are polymeric through crosslinking and are therefore insoluble and remain on the support. Appropriate colouration produces visible images.
- the support is a metallized layer
- the metal can, following exposure and development, be etched away at the unexposed areas or reinforced by electroplating.
- the novel photoinitiators provide excellent performance in generating so called printout images, whereby a color change is induced due to irradiation.

- the novel photoinitiator is also suitable for a photopatternable composition for forming a dielectric layer of a multilayer layer circuit board produced by a sequential build-up process.
- the invention provides compositions for producing pigmented and non- pigmented paints and varnishes, powder coatings, printing inks, printing plates, adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, dental compositions, gel coats, photoresists for electronics, electroplating resist, etch resist, both liquid and dry films, solder resist, as resists to manufacture color filters for a variety of display applications, to generate structures in the manu- facturing processes of plasma-display panels (e.g. barrier rib, phosphor layer, electrode), electroluminescence displays and LCD (e.g.
- HDS holographic data storage
- Substrates used for photographic information recordings include, for example, films of polyester, cellulose acetate or polymer-coated papers; substrates for offset printing formes are specially treated aluminium, substrates for producing printed circuits are copper-clad lami- nates, and substrates for producing integrated circuits are, for example, silicon wafers.
- the layer thickness of the photosensitive layer for photographic materials and offset printing forms is generally from about 0.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m, while for printed circuits it is from 0.1 ⁇ m to about 100 ⁇ m.
- the solvent is removed, generally by drying, to leave a coat of the photoresist on the substrate.
- Coating of the substrates can be carried out by applying to the substrate a liquid composition, a solution or a suspension.
- a liquid composition a solution or a suspension.
- the choice of solvents and the concentration depend principally on the type of composition and on the coating technique.
- the solvent should be inert, i.e. it should not undergo a chemical reaction with the components and should be able to be removed again, after coating, in the course of drying.
- suitable solvents are ketones, ethers and esters, such as methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl methyl ketone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, ethyl 3-ethoxy- propionate, 2-methoxypropylacetate, methyl-3-methoxypropionate, 2-heptanone, 2-pentan- one, and ethyl lactate.

- the solution is applied uniformly to a substrate by means of known coating techniques, for example by spin coating, dip coating, knife coating, curtain coating, brushing, spraying, especially by electrostatic spraying, and reverse-roll coating, and also by means of electropho- retic deposition. It is also possible to apply the photosensitive layer to a temporary, flexible support and then to coat the final substrate, for example a copper-clad circuit board, or a glass substrate by transferring the layer via lamination.
- coat thickness The quantity applied (coat thickness) and the nature of the substrate (layer support) are dependent on the desired field of application.
- the range of coat thicknesses generally comprises values from about 0.1 ⁇ m to more than 100 ⁇ m, for example 0.1 ⁇ m to 1 cm, preferably 0.5 ⁇ m to 1000 ⁇ m.
- the solvent is removed, generally by drying, to leave an essentially dry resist film of the photoresist on the substrate.
- the photosensitivity of the novel compositions can extend in general from about 150 nm to 600 nm, for example 190-600 nm, (UV-vis region).
- Suitable radiation is present, for example, in sunlight or light from artificial light sources. Consequently, a large number of very different types of light sources are employed. Both point sources and arrays ("lamp carpets") are suit- able.
- Examples are carbon arc lamps, xenon arc lamps, low-, medium-, high- and super high- pressure mercury lamps, possibly with metal halide dopes (metal-halogen lamps), microwave-stimulated metal vapour lamps, excimer lamps, superactinic fluorescent tubes, fluorescent lamps, argon incandescent lamps, electronic flashlights, photographic flood lamps, light emitting diodes (LED), electron beams and X-rays.
- the distance between the lamp and the substrate to be exposed in accordance with the invention may vary depending on the intended application and the type and output of lamp, and may be, for example, from 2 cm to 150 cm.
- Laser light sources for example excimer lasers, such as F 2 excimer lasers at 157 nm exposure, KrF excimer lasers for exposure at 248 nm and ArF excimer lasers for exposure at 193 nm are also suitable. Lasers in the visible region can also be employed.
- imagewise exposure includes both, exposure through a photomask comprising a predetermined pattern, for example a slide, a chromium mask, a stencil mask or a reticle, as well as exposure by means of a laser or light beam, which for example is moved under computer control over the surface of the coated substrate and in this way produces an im- age.
- Suitable UV laser exposure systems for the purpose are, for example, provided by Etec and Orbotech (DP-100TM DIRECT IMAGING SYSTEM).
- Other examples of laser light sources are, for example excimer lasers, such as F 2 excimer lasers at 157 nm exposure, KrF excimer lasers for exposure at 248 nm and ArF excimer lasers for exposure at 193 nm.
- solid state UV lasers e.g. Gemini from ManiaBarco, DI-2050 from PENTAX
- violet laser diodes with 405 nm output DI-2080, DI-PDP from PENTAX
- Lasers in the visible region can also be employed.
- the computer-controlled irradiation can also be achieved by electron beams.
- masks made of liquid crystals that can be addressed pixel by pixel to generate digital images, as is, for example, described by A. Bertsch, J.Y. Jezequel, J. C. Andre in Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry 1997, 107, p. 275-281 and by K.-P. Nicolay in Offset Printing 1997, 6, p. 34-37.
- thermal treatment for a short time.
- a thermal post bake can be performed to harden the composition and to remove all traces of solvents.
- the temperatures employed are generally 50-250°C, preferably 80-220°C; the duration of the thermal treatment is in general between 0.25 and 60 minutes.
- the photocurable composition may additionally be used in a process for producing printing plates or photoresists as is described, for example, in DE4013358.
- the com- position is exposed for a short time to visible light with a wavelength of at least 400 nm, without a mask, prior to, simultaneously with or following imagewise irradiation.
- the unexposed areas of the photosensitive coating are removed with a developer in a manner known per se.
- aqueous alkalis or organic solvents can be developed by aqueous alkalis or organic solvents.
- Particularly suitable aqueous-alkaline developer solutions are aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium hydroxides or of alkali metal silicates, phosphates, hydroxides and carbonates. Minor quantities of wetting agents and/or organic solvents may also be added, if de- sired, to these solutions.
- typical organic solvents which may be added to the developer liquids in small quantities, are cyclohexanone, 2-ethoxyethanol, toluene, acetone and mixtures of such solvents.
- solvents e.g.
- organic solvents can be used as developer, or, as mentioned above mixtures of aqueous alkalis with such solvents.
- Particularly useful solvents for solvent development include methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-propanol, butanol, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether, propyleneglycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethyl-3-ethoxypropionate, methyl-3- methoxypropionate, n-butyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclopen- tanone, cyclohexanone, 2-heptanone, 2-pentanone, epsilon-caprolactone, gamma-butyl- olactone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, hexa

- Imagewise exposure may be effected by irradiating through a mask or by means of a laser or electron beam as already described above.
- a laser beam exposure already mentioned above.
- the compounds of the invention have a good thermal stability and low volatility, and are also suitable for photopolymerisations in the presence of air (oxygen). Further, they cause only low yellowing in the compositions after photopolymerization.
- compositions are applied to an aluminum plate using an electric applicator with a wire wound bar.
- the solvent is removed by heating at 100 0 C for 2 minutes in a convection oven.
- the thickness of the dry film is approximately 2 ⁇ m.
- a standardized test negative film with 21 steps of different optical density (Stouffer step wedge) is placed with an air gap of around 100 ⁇ m between the film and the resist.
- Exposure is carried out using a 250W super high pressure mercury lamp (USHIO, USH-250BY) at a distance of 15 cm.
- a total exposure dose measured by an optical power meter (ORC UV Light Measure Model UV-M02 with UV-35 detector) on the test negative film is 250mJ/cm 2 .
- the exposed film is developed with 1 % sodium carbonate aqueous solution for 100 sec. at 3O 0 C by using a spray type developer (Walter Lemmen, model T21 ).
- the sensitivity of the initiator system used is characterized by indicating the highest number of the step remained (i.e. polymerized) after developing. The higher the number of steps, the more sensitive is the system tested. The results are listed in table 2.
