Recently, however, a color filter composed of pixels of three primary colors of red, green, and blue is provided on a reflection type display layer. There has been proposed a display device which is provided and performs multicolor display (see Patent Document 1).
 一方、反射型表示パネルは、外光を利用して表示するため、パネルの輝度(明るさ)に対して制約があり、特に各画素内に赤、緑、青の3原色の着色部を有するカラーフィルタを設けて多色表示した場合には、カラーフィルタによる輝度低下が顕著となり、視認性が悪化するという問題があり、さらなる高明度化や高色再現性、高コントラスト化などが望まれている。 On the other hand, since a reflective display panel displays using external light, there are restrictions on the brightness (brightness) of the panel, and in particular, each pixel has a colored portion of three primary colors of red, green, and blue. When a multi-color display is provided with a color filter, there is a problem that the brightness decrease due to the color filter becomes noticeable and the visibility deteriorates. Further higher brightness, higher color reproducibility, higher contrast, etc. are desired. Yes.
 この問題に対し、人工照明を表示装置の近傍に配置し、外界の光量を上げることで視認性を確保する試みもある。しかし、このような試みは反射型表示装置の表示を変化させる時のみに電力を使用するという反射型表示装置の低消費電力という大きな特徴を損なう結果となり得る。 In response to this problem, there is an attempt to secure visibility by placing artificial lighting in the vicinity of the display device and increasing the amount of light in the outside world. However, such an attempt can result in the loss of the great feature of low power consumption of the reflective display device that uses power only when the display of the reflective display device is changed.
 上記以外には、カラーフィルタの着色部自体の明彩度を上げることで、視認性を改善する試みもある。具体的には、近年、カラーフィルタを構成する緑色着色部の形成には、主顔料として、従来のハロゲン化銅フタロシアニン顔料(例えば、臭素化銅フタロシアニン顔料からなるC.I.Pigment Green 36や塩素化銅フタロシアニン顔料からなるC.I.Pigment Green 7など)に代わり、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニン顔料(例えばC.I.Pigment Green 58など)が用いられるようになってきた。 Other than the above, there is an attempt to improve visibility by increasing the brightness of the colored portion of the color filter. Specifically, in recent years, a green colored portion constituting a color filter is formed by using a conventional copper halide phthalocyanine pigment (for example, CI Pigment Green 36 made of brominated copper phthalocyanine pigment or chlorine as a main pigment. Zinc halide phthalocyanine pigments (for example, CI Pigment Green 58) have come to be used instead of CI Pigment Green 7 and the like made of copper halide phthalocyanine pigments.
 しかしながら、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニンには優れた着色剤であると同時に、有機半導体としても知られる材料であり、特に脱気下において光照射によりフタロシアニンラジカルとなって安定することが知られており(特許文献2、3)、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニンを着色剤として用いる場合には大きな問題となっている。すなわち、フタロシアニンラジカルの吸光波長が基底状態のフタロシアニンの吸光波長とずれてしまうため、着色剤として用いた場合には色が変化して見えてしまう。この現象は特に液晶表示装置や反射型表示パネルのように空気とは完全に遮断された状態で用いられる場合に顕在化し、改善が望まれている。 However, zinc halide phthalocyanine is an excellent colorant and at the same time known as an organic semiconductor, and is known to stabilize as a phthalocyanine radical by light irradiation under deaeration (patent) Documents 2 and 3) are serious problems when zinc halide phthalocyanine is used as a colorant. That is, the absorption wavelength of the phthalocyanine radical deviates from the absorption wavelength of the phthalocyanine in the ground state, so that when used as a colorant, the color appears to change. This phenomenon is particularly apparent when it is used in a state of being completely cut off from air, such as a liquid crystal display device or a reflective display panel, and improvement is desired.
 これと類似の現象に対する解決の試みとして、ニトロソナフトール類及びベンゾフェノンから選ばれる化合物を含有させることが提案されている(特許文献4)。しかしながら、この技術はフタロシアニン錯塩染料及び顔料を用いた染色法によるカラーフィルタに用いられることを想定した技術であり、近年の微細化処理を行った顔料を着色剤とする顔料分散法、またはフォトリソグラフィー法やインクジェット法によるカラーフィルタに用いるためには顔料の分散適性、フォトリソグラフィー適性、インクジェット適性など解決すべき課題が多数あった。 As an attempt to solve a phenomenon similar to this, it has been proposed to contain a compound selected from nitrosonaphthols and benzophenone (Patent Document 4). However, this technology is assumed to be used for color filters by dyeing methods using phthalocyanine complex dyes and pigments, and a pigment dispersion method using a pigment that has been subjected to recent micronization treatment as a colorant, or photolithography. In order to use it for a color filter by a method or an ink jet method, there are many problems to be solved such as dispersibility of pigment, suitability for photolithography, suitability for ink jet.

 以下、本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
 図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る反射型表示パネル100の断面図である。図2は、本発明の一実施形態に係る反射型表示パネル100のインク定着層の平面図である。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a reflective display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of an ink fixing layer of the reflective display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
 図1に示す反射型表示パネル100では、基板10上に第1の電極層11が形成され、第1の電極層11上には接着層12を介して反射表示層13が形成されている。第1の電極層11は、複数の画素電極が並び、それぞれの画素電極がスイッチング素子に接続されていて、第2の電極層14との間に正負の電圧が印加可能とされている。 In the reflective display panel 100 shown in FIG. 1, a first electrode layer 11 is formed on a substrate 10, and a reflective display layer 13 is formed on the first electrode layer 11 via an adhesive layer 12. In the first electrode layer 11, a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, each pixel electrode is connected to a switching element, and a positive and negative voltage can be applied between the first electrode layer 11 and the second electrode layer 14.
 反射表示層13上には、第2の電極層14、基材15、インク定着層16、及び保護フィルム18が順次積層されている。インク定着層16は、第1の電極層11の駆動単位に対向して配置された着色部17を複数有する。複数の着色部17の全部もしくは一部は、例えばフタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料を含有する。 On the reflective display layer 13, a second electrode layer 14, a base material 15, an ink fixing layer 16, and a protective film 18 are sequentially laminated. The ink fixing layer 16 has a plurality of colored portions 17 arranged to face the drive unit of the first electrode layer 11. All or some of the plurality of colored portions 17 contain, for example, a pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton.
 反射表示層13は、反射型液晶やコレスティック液晶、電気泳動方式(マイクロカプセル方式等)、マイクロカップ方式、エレクトロクロミック方式等に適用可能である。基材15は、光透過性であればよく、ガラス基材や、PETフィルム、PENフィルム等のフィルム基材も用いることができる。 The reflective display layer 13 can be applied to a reflective liquid crystal, a cholesteric liquid crystal, an electrophoretic method (such as a microcapsule method), a microcup method, or an electrochromic method. The base material 15 should just be light transmittance, and can also use glass base materials, film base materials, such as a PET film and a PEN film.
 着色部17を有するインク定着層16は、液晶表示装置用のカラーフィルタにおいて行われているように、着色レジスト膜のフォトリソグラフィーにより形成することができるが、本実施形態におけるような反射型表示パネル100に用いる着色部17を有するインク定着層16の場合には、インク定着層16を形成し、該インク定着層16に複数のインクを塗布することにより着色部17を形成することができる。インク定着層16は、樹脂を含むインク定着層形成用塗液を塗布することにより形成される。 The ink fixing layer 16 having the colored portion 17 can be formed by photolithography of a colored resist film as is done in a color filter for a liquid crystal display device, but a reflective display panel as in this embodiment. In the case of the ink fixing layer 16 having the colored portion 17 used for 100, the colored portion 17 can be formed by forming the ink fixing layer 16 and applying a plurality of inks to the ink fixing layer 16. The ink fixing layer 16 is formed by applying an ink fixing layer forming coating liquid containing a resin.
 インク定着層16としては、ウレタン樹脂、ポリエステル、アクリル樹脂、ビニルアルコール樹脂等を用いることができる。また、インク定着層16には、インクの溶媒の吸収性を高めるため、合成シリカやアルミナなどの多孔質物質を含ませることもできる。インク定着層16の形成は、枚葉処理を行うのであれば、スクリーン印刷法やオフセット印刷法やスピンコート法、ダイによる間歇塗工により形成することができる。また、ロールtoロールによる連続処理を行うのであれば、ダイコーティング、コンマコート、カーテンコート、グラビアコートなどの汎用の塗布技術によるインク定着層16の形成が可能である。また、塗工された後のインク定着層形成用塗液は、乾燥させられる。乾燥方法としては、加熱、送風、減圧等を用いることができるが、ガラスに比べて熱に強くないPET等の基板10にも対応できるよう、基板10のガラス転移点以下の温度での乾燥工程を適用することが好ましい。これにより、熱による基板10の変形等も防ぐことができる。 As the ink fixing layer 16, urethane resin, polyester, acrylic resin, vinyl alcohol resin, or the like can be used. Further, the ink fixing layer 16 may contain a porous material such as synthetic silica or alumina in order to increase the absorbability of the ink solvent. The ink fixing layer 16 can be formed by a screen printing method, an offset printing method, a spin coating method, or intermittent coating with a die if sheet processing is performed. Further, if continuous processing is performed by roll-to-roll, the ink fixing layer 16 can be formed by a general application technique such as die coating, comma coating, curtain coating, and gravure coating. In addition, the coating liquid for forming an ink fixing layer after coating is dried. As a drying method, heating, air blowing, reduced pressure, etc. can be used, but a drying step at a temperature below the glass transition point of the substrate 10 so as to be compatible with a substrate 10 such as PET that is not resistant to heat compared to glass. Is preferably applied. Thereby, the deformation | transformation etc. of the board | substrate 10 by a heat | fever can also be prevented.
 インク定着層16へ着色部17を形成するためのインクの塗布方法としては、駆動単位を区切るためのブラックマトリックスは形成されないので色による塗り分けが必要である。このため、スクリーン印刷法、オフセット印刷法、インクジェット印刷法などを用いることができる。なかでも位置合わせが容易であり、生産性も高いことから、インクジェット印刷法を用いてインク定着層16にインクを吐出し、着色部17を形成することが好ましい。また、塗工された後のインクは、乾燥させられる。乾燥方法としては、加熱、送風、減圧等を用いることができるが、ガラスに比べて熱に強くないPET等の基板10にも対応できるよう、基板10のガラス転移点以下の温度での乾燥工程を適用することが好ましい。これにより、熱による基板10の変形等も防ぐことができる。さらに、乾燥が不十分であると、フタロシアニンの光照射による色変化を、インク中の溶剤が触媒として作用することで加速させてしまうため、基板10のガラス転移点以下の温度でも十分な乾燥ができる減圧乾燥等を用いることが好ましい。 As an ink application method for forming the colored portion 17 on the ink fixing layer 16, a black matrix for dividing the drive unit is not formed, and therefore, it is necessary to apply colors separately. For this reason, a screen printing method, an offset printing method, an inkjet printing method, etc. can be used. In particular, since the alignment is easy and the productivity is high, it is preferable to form the colored portion 17 by ejecting ink to the ink fixing layer 16 using an ink jet printing method. In addition, the coated ink is dried. As a drying method, heating, air blowing, reduced pressure, etc. can be used, but a drying step at a temperature below the glass transition point of the substrate 10 so as to be compatible with a substrate 10 such as PET that is not resistant to heat compared to glass. Is preferably applied. Thereby, the deformation | transformation etc. of the board | substrate 10 by a heat | fever can also be prevented. Furthermore, if the drying is insufficient, the color change due to light irradiation of phthalocyanine is accelerated by the solvent in the ink acting as a catalyst, so that sufficient drying can be achieved even at a temperature below the glass transition point of the substrate 10. It is preferable to use vacuum drying that can be performed.
 インクジェット印刷法に用いる装置としては、インク吐出方法の相違によりピエゾ変換方式と熱変換方式とがあるが、ピエゾ変換方式の装置を用いることが望ましい。また、インクジェット装置のインクの粒子化周波数は5kHz~100kHz程度が望ましい。また、インクジェット装置のノズル径は、5μm~80μm程度が望ましい。また、インクジェット装置はヘッドを複数個配置し、1ヘッドにノズルを60個~500個程度組み込んだものを用いるのが好ましい。 As an apparatus used for the ink jet printing method, there are a piezo conversion method and a heat conversion method depending on a difference in an ink discharge method, and it is desirable to use a piezo conversion method apparatus. In addition, the ink atomization frequency of the ink jet apparatus is desirably about 5 kHz to 100 kHz. In addition, the nozzle diameter of the ink jet apparatus is desirably about 5 to 80 μm. In addition, it is preferable to use an inkjet apparatus in which a plurality of heads are arranged and about 60 to 500 nozzles are incorporated in one head.
 着色部17のためのインクに関しては、着色剤、溶剤、バインダー樹脂、分散剤により形成される。 The ink for the colored portion 17 is formed by a colorant, a solvent, a binder resin, and a dispersant.
 着色剤としては、近年、カラーフィルタにおける緑色着色部の着色剤に用いる有機顔料のうち、鮮やかで明るい色を実現することができることから、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニン顔料、C.I.Pigment Green 58(PG58)が広く用いられるようになってきた。しかしながら、背景技術欄で詳述したように、前記顔料は光反応性を有するため、カラーフィルタの緑色着色部として用いられた場合、空気が遮断された反射型表示装置の中に組み込まれると、その光反応性から色が変化してしまっていた。特に、コントラストを向上させるために顔料粒径を小さくしていくとその傾向が顕著となるため、PG58を含有する緑色着色部を有するカラーフィルタの耐光性を確保することが難しくなっていた。 As the colorant, in recent years, among organic pigments used for the colorant of the green color portion in the color filter, a vivid and bright color can be realized, so that a zinc halide phthalocyanine pigment, C.I. I. Pigment Green 58 (PG58) has come to be widely used. However, as described in detail in the background art section, since the pigment has photoreactivity, when used as a green colored portion of a color filter, when incorporated in a reflective display device in which air is blocked, The color had changed due to the photoreactivity. In particular, when the pigment particle size is reduced in order to improve the contrast, the tendency becomes conspicuous. Therefore, it has been difficult to ensure the light resistance of the color filter having a green colored portion containing PG58.
 そこで、緑色着色部の色の変化の原因が光で生じるフタロシアニンラジカルアニオンであることを推定し、その対策を検討した。すなわち、フタロシアニンラジカルアニオンの発生を促進しないバインダー樹脂を含有させ、フタロシアニンラジカルアニオンの発生を抑制させる緑色顔料を選択することで、緑色着色部の耐光性が飛躍的に向上することを見出した。 Therefore, it was presumed that the cause of the color change of the green colored portion was a phthalocyanine radical anion generated by light, and countermeasures were examined. That is, it has been found that the light resistance of the green colored portion is drastically improved by containing a binder resin that does not promote the generation of phthalocyanine radical anions and by selecting a green pigment that suppresses the generation of phthalocyanine radical anions.
 したがって、本発明において好ましく用いることができる緑色の着色部17に含有される着色剤のフタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料は、ハロゲン化銅フタロシアニン顔料(例えば、臭素化銅フタロシアニン顔料からなるC.I.Pigment Green 36や塩素化銅フタロシアニン顔料からなるC.I.Pigment Green 7など)や、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニン顔料(例えばC.I.Pigment Green 58など)等に属するものである。さらに、光照射による励起状態が短く、より光安定性の高いハロゲン化銅フタロシアニン顔料を用いることがより好ましい。 Therefore, a pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton of a colorant contained in the green coloring portion 17 that can be preferably used in the present invention is a halogenated copper phthalocyanine pigment (for example, CI Pigment Green made of brominated copper phthalocyanine pigment). 36, CI Pigment Green 7 and the like made of chlorinated copper phthalocyanine pigment), and zinc halide phthalocyanine pigment (for example, CI Pigment Green 58 and the like). Furthermore, it is more preferable to use a halogenated copper phthalocyanine pigment having a short excited state by light irradiation and higher photostability.
 本発明に使用されるフタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料以外のインクの着色材料としては、有機顔料、無機顔料、染料などを問わず色素全般を使用することができる。好ましくは有機顔料が挙げられ、特に耐光性に優れるものを用いることが好ましい。具体的にはC.I.Pigment Red 9、19、38、43、97、122、123、144、149、166、168、177、179、180、192、208、215、216、217、220、223、224、226、227、228、240、254、Pigment Blue15、15:3、15:6、16、22、29、60、64、C.I.Pigment Green 7、36、56、58、59、C.I.Pigment Yellow 20、24、86、81、83、93、108、109、110、117、125、137、138、139、147、148、150、153、154、166、168、185、C.I.Pigment Orange 36、73、C.I.Pigment Violet23等を使用することができる。さらに所望の色相を得るために2種以上の材料を混合して用いることができる。 As the coloring material of the ink other than the pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton used in the present invention, any coloring matter can be used regardless of organic pigments, inorganic pigments, dyes and the like. Preferably, an organic pigment is used, and it is particularly preferable to use a pigment excellent in light resistance. Specifically, C.I. I. Pigment Red 9, 19, 38, 43, 97, 122, 123, 144, 149, 166, 168, 177, 179, 180, 192, 208, 215, 216, 217, 220, 223, 224, 226, 227, 228, 240, 254, Pigment Blue 15, 15: 3, 15: 6, 16, 22, 29, 60, 64, C.I. I. Pigment Green 7, 36, 56, 58, 59, C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 20, 24, 86, 81, 83, 93, 108, 109, 110, 117, 125, 137, 138, 139, 147, 148, 150, 153, 154, 166, 168, 185, C.I. I. Pigment Orange 36, 73, C.I. I. Pigment Violet 23 or the like can be used. Furthermore, in order to obtain a desired hue, two or more kinds of materials can be mixed and used.
 本発明におけるインクに使用される溶剤としては、インクジェット印刷における適性を考慮し、表面張力が35mN/m以下で、且つ、沸点が130℃以上のものが好ましい。表面張力が35mN/mより大きいとインクジェット吐出時のドット形状の安定性に著しい悪影響を及ぼし、また、沸点が130℃未満であるとノズル近傍での乾燥性が著しく高くなり、その結果、ノズル詰まり等の不良発生を招く傾向となる。 The solvent used in the ink of the present invention is preferably a solvent having a surface tension of 35 mN / m or less and a boiling point of 130 ° C. or higher in consideration of suitability for inkjet printing. When the surface tension is greater than 35 mN / m, the dot shape stability during ink jet ejection is significantly adversely affected. When the boiling point is less than 130 ° C., the drying property near the nozzle is remarkably increased, resulting in nozzle clogging. It tends to cause defects such as.
 具体的には、2-メトキシエタノール、2-エトキシエタノール、2-ブトキシエタノール、2-エトキシエチルアセテート、2-ブトキシエチルアセテート、2-メトキシエチルアセテート、2-エトキシエチルエーテル、2-(2-エトキシエトキシ)エタノール、2-(2-ブトキシエトキシ)エタノール、2-(2-エトキシエトキシ)エチルアセテート、2-(2-ブトキシエトキシ)エチルアセテート、2-フェノキシエタノール、ジエチレングリコールジメチルエーテルなどを挙げることができるが、これらに限定されるものではなく、上記要件を満たす溶剤であれば好ましく用いることができ、また、必要に応じて2種類以上の溶剤を混合して用いても構わない。 Specifically, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, 2-butoxyethyl acetate, 2-methoxyethyl acetate, 2-ethoxyethyl ether, 2- (2-ethoxy And ethoxy) ethanol, 2- (2-butoxyethoxy) ethanol, 2- (2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acetate, 2- (2-butoxyethoxy) ethyl acetate, 2-phenoxyethanol, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The solvent is not limited to these and can be preferably used as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. Two or more kinds of solvents may be mixed and used as necessary.
 本発明に使用し得るバインダー樹脂としては、光照射による色変化の原因であるフタロシアニンラジカルアニオンの発生を促進しない分子骨格内にアミノ基を持たないバインダー樹脂を用いることができる。このようなバインダー樹脂としては、例えばアクリル系樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノール系樹脂等、又はこれらを1種以上含んだ樹脂が挙げられる。ここで、メラミン樹脂、ユリア樹脂、グアナミン樹脂等の基本的に分子骨格内にアミノ基を持つバインダー樹脂は光照射による色変化を促進することから好ましくない。 As the binder resin that can be used in the present invention, a binder resin having no amino group in a molecular skeleton that does not promote generation of a phthalocyanine radical anion that causes a color change due to light irradiation can be used. Examples of such binder resins include acrylic resins, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, and the like, or resins containing one or more of these. Here, binder resins having amino groups in the molecular skeleton, such as melamine resin, urea resin, and guanamine resin, are not preferable because they promote color change due to light irradiation.
 アクリル系樹脂としては、単量体(モノマー)として(メタ)アクリル酸、メチル(メタ)アクリレート、エチル(メタ)アクリレート、プロピル(メタ)アクリレート、ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、ベンジル(メタ)アクリレート、ラウリル(メタ)アクリレート、ヒドロキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、ヒドロキシプロピル(メタ)アクリレート、エトキシエチル(メタ)アクリレート、グリシジル(メタ)アクリレート等のアルキル(メタ)アクリレートや、シクロヘキシル(メタ)アクリレート、イソボルニル(メタ)アクリレート、ジシクロペンテニル(メタ)アクリレート等の脂環式(メタ)アクリレート等の重合物が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。これらのモノマーは、その1種単独で、または、2種以上を併用することもできる。さらに、これらアクリレートと共重合可能なスチレン、シクロヘキシルマレイミド、フェニルマレイミド、シクロヘキシルマレイミド、フェニルマレイミド、メチルマレイミド、エチルマレイミド、n-ブチルマレイミド、ラウリルマイレミド等の化合物を共重合させることもできる。 As acrylic resins, (meth) acrylic acid, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, propyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (meth) acrylate, benzyl (meth) acrylate, lauryl as monomers Alkyl (meth) acrylates such as (meth) acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, ethoxyethyl (meth) acrylate, glycidyl (meth) acrylate, cyclohexyl (meth) acrylate, isobornyl (meth) Polymers such as alicyclic (meth) acrylates such as acrylate and dicyclopentenyl (meth) acrylate are exemplified, but the invention is not limited thereto. These monomers can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Furthermore, compounds such as styrene, cyclohexylmaleimide, phenylmaleimide, cyclohexylmaleimide, phenylmaleimide, methylmaleimide, ethylmaleimide, n-butylmaleimide, and laurylmaleimide that can be copolymerized with these acrylates can also be copolymerized.
 また、アクリル系樹脂にエチレン性不飽和基を付加させることも出来る。アクリル系樹脂にエチレン性不飽和基を付加させる方法としては、グリシジルメタクリレート等のエポキシ含有樹脂にアクリル酸等のエチレン性不飽和基とカルボン酸含有化合物を付加する方、メタアクリル酸等のカルボン酸含有樹脂にグリシジルメタアクリレート等のエポキ含有アクリレートを付加する方法、また、ヒドロキシメタアクリレート等の水酸基含有樹脂にメタクリロイルオキシエチルイソシアネート等のイソシアネート基含有アクリレートを付加する方法等があげられるが、これらの例に限定されるものではない。 Also, an ethylenically unsaturated group can be added to the acrylic resin. As a method of adding an ethylenically unsaturated group to an acrylic resin, a method of adding an ethylenically unsaturated group such as acrylic acid and a carboxylic acid-containing compound to an epoxy-containing resin such as glycidyl methacrylate, or a carboxylic acid such as methacrylic acid Examples include a method of adding an epoxide-containing acrylate such as glycidyl methacrylate to a containing resin, and a method of adding an isocyanate group-containing acrylate such as methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate to a hydroxyl group-containing resin such as hydroxymethacrylate. It is not limited to.
 エポキシ樹脂としては、例えば、グリセロール・ポリグリシジルエーテル、トリメチロールプロパン・ポリグリシジルエーテル、レゾルシン・ジグリシジルエーテル、ネオペンチルグリコール・ジグリシジルエーテル、1,6-ヘキサンジオール・ジグリシジルエーテル、エチレングリコール(ポリエチレングリコール)・ジグリシジルエーテル等がある。これらについても、単独あるいは2種類以上混合して使用することができる。 Examples of the epoxy resin include glycerol / polyglycidyl ether, trimethylolpropane / polyglycidyl ether, resorcin / diglycidyl ether, neopentyl glycol / diglycidyl ether, 1,6-hexanediol / diglycidyl ether, ethylene glycol (polyethylene). Glycol) and diglycidyl ether. Also about these, it can use individually or in mixture of 2 or more types.
 フェノール系樹脂としては、ノボラック樹脂、レゾール樹脂等が挙げられる。 Examples of phenolic resins include novolak resins and resol resins.
 また、バインダー樹脂の質量平均分子量は、200以上10000以下の範囲内であることが好ましく、さらに300以上8000以下の範囲内であることがより好ましい。バインダー樹脂の質量平均分子量が10000を超えると、着色部16の乾燥工程時にインクの流動性が不足し、パターン平坦性が劣ってしまう。また、バインダー樹脂の質量平均分子量が300未満では、要求される耐溶剤性、耐熱性などの物性を満足させることができない。 Further, the mass average molecular weight of the binder resin is preferably in the range of 200 or more and 10,000 or less, and more preferably in the range of 300 or more and 8,000 or less. When the mass average molecular weight of the binder resin exceeds 10,000, the fluidity of the ink is insufficient during the drying process of the colored portion 16, and the pattern flatness is inferior. Further, if the mass average molecular weight of the binder resin is less than 300, required physical properties such as solvent resistance and heat resistance cannot be satisfied.
 分散剤は、溶剤への顔料の分散性を向上させるために用いることができる。分散剤として、イオン性、非イオン性界面活性剤などを用いることができる。具体的には、アルキルベンゼンスルホン酸ナトリウム、ポリ脂肪酸塩、脂肪酸塩アルキルリン酸塩、テトラアルキルアンモニウム塩、ポリオキシエチレンアルキルエーテル等があり、その他に有機顔料誘導体、ポリエステルなどが挙げられる。分散剤は1種類を単独で使用しても良く、また、必要に応じて2種以上を混合して用いることも可能である。 The dispersant can be used to improve the dispersibility of the pigment in the solvent. As the dispersant, an ionic or nonionic surfactant can be used. Specific examples include sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate, poly fatty acid salts, fatty acid salt alkyl phosphates, tetraalkyl ammonium salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, and the like, and other examples include organic pigment derivatives and polyesters. One type of dispersant may be used alone, or two or more types of dispersants may be mixed and used as necessary.
 着色部17に用いるインクの粘度としては、1mPa・s以上20mPa・s以下の範囲にあることが好ましく、さらにいえば、5mPa・s以上15mPa・s以下の範囲にあるとさらに好ましい。インクの粘度が20mPa・sを超えると、インクジェット吐出時にインクが所定の位置に着弾しない不良や、ノズル詰りといった不良を招く傾向がある。一方、インクの粘度が1mPa・s未満である場合、インクを吐出する際に、飛散するような状況を招く傾向がある。 The viscosity of the ink used for the colored portion 17 is preferably in the range of 1 mPa · s to 20 mPa · s, and more preferably in the range of 5 mPa · s to 15 mPa · s. When the viscosity of the ink exceeds 20 mPa · s, there is a tendency that the ink does not land at a predetermined position at the time of ink jet ejection, or a defect such as nozzle clogging. On the other hand, when the viscosity of the ink is less than 1 mPa · s, the ink tends to be scattered when ejected.
 また、着色部17における顔料もしくは染料と、バインダー樹脂との質量比は、1:9~1:1の範囲であると好ましく、インク中の樹脂量を変更することで、インクの流動性を調整し、着色部17内での濃度バラツキを改善することができる。 Further, the mass ratio of the pigment or dye and the binder resin in the colored portion 17 is preferably in the range of 1: 9 to 1: 1, and the fluidity of the ink is adjusted by changing the amount of resin in the ink. In addition, the density variation in the colored portion 17 can be improved.
 ここで、反射型表示パネルは、外光を利用した表示媒体としての利用が一般的であることから、着色部に求められる色相及び濃度については、液晶ディスプレイに代表される透過型表示パネルに具備される着色部と比較して、各色濃度が小さく、色再現域が小さい傾向となる。 Here, since the reflective display panel is generally used as a display medium using external light, the transmissive display panel represented by a liquid crystal display has a hue and density required for the colored portion. Each color density tends to be small and the color gamut tends to be small compared to the colored portion.
 したがって、インク中に含まれる着色成分である顔料は必然的に少なくなる傾向にあるが、顔料に対して樹脂量が90%より多くなると、必要とする液量が多くなり、さらに、樹脂添加による粘度上昇の影響からインクの流動性が劣り、形成された着色部は、着色部中心が着色部周辺よりも濃いものとなる。 Therefore, the pigment that is a coloring component contained in the ink inevitably tends to decrease, but if the amount of resin is more than 90% with respect to the pigment, the amount of liquid required increases, and further, due to the addition of resin. The fluidity of the ink is inferior due to the increase in viscosity, and the colored portion formed has a darker center at the colored portion than at the periphery of the colored portion.
 一方、顔料に対して、樹脂量が50%より小さくなると、インクに含まれる着色成分が相対的に多くなり、色濃度が大きくなるため、溶剤(揮発分)にて希釈するか、もしくは少量の液滴量で着色部形成を行う必要が生じ、結果、溶剤(揮発分)で希釈した場合は、インクの流動性が大きく、かつ、インク滴下量も多くなることから、着色部17中心よりも着色部17周辺が濃くなり、少量の液滴量で着色部17を形成した場合は、インク液滴間の間隔が広くなり、隙間が生じるなどで適切な着色部17の形成ができない。 On the other hand, when the resin amount is less than 50% with respect to the pigment, the coloring component contained in the ink is relatively increased and the color density is increased. Therefore, the pigment is diluted with a solvent (volatile matter) or a small amount As a result, it is necessary to form the colored portion with the amount of liquid droplets. As a result, when diluted with a solvent (volatile matter), the fluidity of the ink is large and the amount of ink dripping is also large. In the case where the periphery of the colored portion 17 becomes dark and the colored portion 17 is formed with a small amount of droplets, the interval between the ink droplets becomes wide, and a suitable colored portion 17 cannot be formed due to a gap.
 次に動作原理に基づく、反射型表示パネル100の色表示を説明する。反射型表示パネル100は、例えば、白色と黒色を表示する反射表示層13上に、第1の電極層11の駆動単位に対向して配置される着色部17と非着色部(透明部)を有している。なお、この場合、反射表示層13としては白色と黒色を表示する反射型表示媒体であればよく、表示媒体の表示方式は限定されない。 Next, the color display of the reflective display panel 100 based on the operating principle will be described. The reflective display panel 100 includes, for example, a colored portion 17 and a non-colored portion (transparent portion) disposed on the reflective display layer 13 that displays white and black, facing the drive unit of the first electrode layer 11. Have. In this case, the reflective display layer 13 may be a reflective display medium that displays white and black, and the display method of the display medium is not limited.
 反射表示層13の第1の電極層11の駆動単位に対向する部分すべてを白表示とした場合、もしくは反射表示層13の着色部17に対応する部分のみを白表示とした場合、着色部17の色相と非着色部の白、もしくは黒色が混ざり合った色となり、着色部17の色相に類似した色が表示され、反射表示層13の着色部17に対する部分のみを黒表示とした場合、非着色部を透過した光のみが反射されてくるため、白表示となり、反射表示層13の第1の電極層11の駆動単位に対向する部分すべてを黒表示とした場合、全ての光が反射されずに、黒表示となる。 When all the portions of the reflective display layer 13 facing the drive unit of the first electrode layer 11 are displayed in white, or when only the portions corresponding to the colored portions 17 of the reflective display layer 13 are displayed in white, the colored portions 17 When the color of the non-colored portion and white or black of the non-colored portion are mixed, a color similar to the hue of the colored portion 17 is displayed, and only the portion of the reflective display layer 13 with respect to the colored portion 17 is displayed in black, Since only the light transmitted through the colored portion is reflected, white display is obtained, and when all the portions of the reflective display layer 13 facing the drive unit of the first electrode layer 11 are displayed in black, all the light is reflected. Without displaying black.
 このとき、着色部17の色の組み合わせは、その用途によって自由に変更することができる。マルチカラー表示の場合には、赤とシアン、マゼンタと緑、黄と青等、補色関係にある2色の組み合わせ等を用いることができる。これは、混色により白になる補色関係にあるならばどの色の組み合わせでも用いることができる。また、フルカラー表示には、赤、緑、青の3色、または、シアン、マゼンタ、イエローの3色が用いられるのが一般的であるが、着色部17全てを白表示とした場合に白となる色の組み合わせであれば、特に限定されることはない。また、モノカラー表示の場合には、赤、青、マゼンタ等所望の色を用いることができる。本発明においては、フタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料の色相である緑系の色を有する着色部に対して特に好ましく適用できる。 At this time, the color combination of the colored portion 17 can be freely changed depending on the application. In the case of multi-color display, a combination of two colors such as red and cyan, magenta and green, yellow and blue, etc. that have a complementary color relationship can be used. Any combination of colors can be used as long as they are in a complementary color relationship that becomes white by color mixing. In general, three colors of red, green, and blue, or three colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow are used for full-color display. If it is the combination of the color which becomes, it will not specifically limit. In the case of monocolor display, a desired color such as red, blue, magenta or the like can be used. In the present invention, the present invention can be particularly preferably applied to a colored portion having a green color which is the hue of a pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton.
 また、第1の電極層11の駆動単位に対向して配置される着色部17は、等方的に分割された配列であればよく、特に限定されることはない。図2に示すように、その際の第1の電極層11の駆動単位に応じた反射表示層13の表示単位19における着色部17の占める面積の割合が25%以上99%以下となるものが好ましい。着色部面積比が小さい場合(着色部17の面積比で25%未満)、各色表示時の鮮やかさが劣り、白/黒表示と各着色表示のコントラスト(濃淡比)が得られない。着色部面積比が大きい場合(着色部17の面積比で99%超)、インクジェット法における各着色部17同士の接触が生じやすく、混色等の不良の要因となりうる。 Further, the colored portion 17 arranged to face the drive unit of the first electrode layer 11 may be an isotropically divided arrangement, and is not particularly limited. As shown in FIG. 2, the ratio of the area occupied by the colored portion 17 in the display unit 19 of the reflective display layer 13 corresponding to the driving unit of the first electrode layer 11 is 25% or more and 99% or less. preferable. When the colored portion area ratio is small (the area ratio of the colored portion 17 is less than 25%), the vividness when displaying each color is inferior, and the contrast (darkness ratio) between white / black display and each colored display cannot be obtained. When the colored portion area ratio is large (over 99% in the colored portion 17 area ratio), the colored portions 17 in the ink jet method tend to come into contact with each other, which may cause defects such as color mixing.
 以下、本発明の実施例及び比較例を説明するが、本発明はこの実施例にのみ限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, examples and comparative examples of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

 次いで、インク定着層16に対し、12pl、180dpi(2.54cm当たり180ドット)ヘッド(セイコーインスツルメンツ(株)製)を搭載したインクジェット印刷装置を用いて、着色材料のインクを所定の位置に塗工した。その後、減圧乾燥機にて5分乾燥させて着色部17と非着色部とを形成した。 Next, the ink of the coloring material is applied to the ink fixing layer 16 at a predetermined position using an ink jet printing apparatus equipped with a 12 pl, 180 dpi (180 dots per 2.54 cm) head (manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc.). did. Then, it was made to dry for 5 minutes with a vacuum dryer, and the colored part 17 and the non-colored part were formed.
 最後に、その上に保護フィルム18を形成して、緑色着色部を有する反射型表示装置を作製した。
(実施例2、3、比較例1~3)
Finally, a protective film 18 was formed thereon to produce a reflective display device having a green colored portion.
(Examples 2 and 3, Comparative Examples 1 to 3)
 実施例1と同様にして、表3に示した緑顔料、バインダー樹脂の組み合わせで、実施例2、3、及び比較例1~3の緑色着色部を有する反射型表示装置を作製した。 In the same manner as in Example 1, reflection type display devices having green colored portions of Examples 2 and 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were prepared by using the combination of the green pigment and the binder resin shown in Table 3.
 (耐光性評価)
 作製した反射型表示装置をキセノンウェザーメーターCi35A(ALTAS社製)にて、照度0.5mW/cm(340nm)、温度40℃の条件下にて168時間照射し、照射前後の分光特性を顕微分光光度計OSP-SP100(オリンパス光学社製)で測定し、色差(ΔE*ab)を求め、顕微鏡にて試験後の外観観察をすることで耐光性評価を行った。耐光性評価の判定基準については、「+」:ΔE*ab≦3、「-」:ΔE*ab>3、とした。

 表3に示す結果から、以下のことが明らかである。すなわち、フタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料を用いた着色部を有する反射型表示装置において、フタロシアニンラジカルアニオンの発生を促進しない分子骨格内にアミノ基を持たない樹脂を含有することで耐光性が改善されていることがわかる。また、ハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニンよりも銅フタロシアニンを用いることで耐光性が改善されていることもわかる。 From the results shown in Table 3, the following is clear. That is, in a reflective display device having a colored portion using a pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton, light resistance is improved by containing a resin having no amino group in the molecular skeleton that does not promote the generation of phthalocyanine radical anions. I understand that. It can also be seen that light resistance is improved by using copper phthalocyanine rather than zinc halide phthalocyanine.
 これに対し、分子骨格内にアミノ基を持つ樹脂を含有している比較例1~3では、耐光性は悪くなった。また、その中でも光安定性の低いハロゲン化亜鉛フタロシアニンを用いている比較例2は、一段と耐光性が悪くなった。 On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 containing a resin having an amino group in the molecular skeleton, the light resistance deteriorated. Further, among them, Comparative Example 2 using a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine having low light stability was much worse in light resistance.
 以上のように、着色部にフタロシアニン骨格を有する顔料と分子骨格内にアミノ基を持たないバインダー樹脂とを含有させることにより、耐光性に優れた着色部となり、酸素遮断下においても信頼性に優れた反射型表示パネルを得ることができる。 As described above, by adding a pigment having a phthalocyanine skeleton in the colored part and a binder resin having no amino group in the molecular skeleton, it becomes a colored part having excellent light resistance and excellent reliability even under oxygen interruption. A reflective display panel can be obtained.
