- OLED display devices are devices that display images by utilizing the spontaneous emission of OLED elements. Therefore, compared to various display devices such as liquid crystal display devices and plasma display devices, they have advantages such as a high contrast ratio, high color reproducibility, a wide viewing angle, high-speed response, and the possibility of being thin and lightweight. In addition to these advantages, OLED display devices are being actively researched and developed as next-generation display devices because of their flexibility.
- An inorganic EL display device is a device that displays images by utilizing the spontaneous emission of inorganic EL elements as a fluorescent material instead of OLED elements in an OLED display device. Recent research has led to hopes that a display device superior to an OLED display device in terms of a larger screen and longer life may be realized.

- the light absorbing filter of the present invention is a light absorbing filter including a wavelength selective absorption layer containing a resin A containing an acid group and a dye, and an adjacent layer directly arranged (adjacent) on at least one side of the wavelength selective absorption layer, and the adjacent layer contains a resin containing a basic group.
- the light absorbing filter of the present invention having such a configuration can show excellent interlayer adhesion.
- the resin containing a basic group added to the adjacent layer is unevenly distributed in the adjacent layer near the interface between the wavelength selective absorption layer and the adjacent layer, and forms a hydrogen bond with the acid group contained in the resin A contained in the wavelength selective absorption layer, thereby contributing to the development of excellent adhesion.
- Such an effect is supported by the examples described below.
- the dye is dispersed (preferably dissolved) in the above-mentioned acid group-containing resin A, thereby making the light absorbing filter and the wavelength selective absorption layer into layers exhibiting a specific absorption spectrum derived from the dye.
- This dispersion may be random, regular, or the like.
- the dye may be dispersed (preferably dissolved) in the above-mentioned resin A containing an acid group and/or the resin other than the above-mentioned resin A containing an acid group.
- the light absorbing filter of the present invention when the dye is configured to be decolorized by ultraviolet light (configuration having decolorization property), the light absorbing filter of the present invention has a property that the dye undergoes a chemical change and can be decolorized by ultraviolet light irradiation. Therefore, by performing mask exposure with ultraviolet light irradiation, it is possible to obtain the optical filter of the present invention having both a light absorbing portion having a light absorbing effect and a portion having no light absorbing property.
- An example of the configuration of a light absorption filter capable of decolorizing a dye with ultraviolet light is a configuration in which a compound that generates radicals when irradiated with ultraviolet light is contained in the wavelength selective absorption layer of the light absorption filter of the present invention, as described in Patent Document 2.
- a preferred example is a light absorption filter including a wavelength-selective absorption layer containing a dye, a resin A containing an acid group, and a compound B that forms a hydrogen bond with the acid group contained in the resin A and generates radicals by ultraviolet irradiation, and an adjacent layer disposed on at least one side of the wavelength-selective absorption layer, the adjacent layer containing a resin containing a basic group (hereinafter also referred to as "light absorption filter I of the present invention").
- the "compound B that forms hydrogen bonds with the acid groups contained in the resin A and generates radicals when irradiated with ultraviolet light” forms hydrogen bonds with the acid groups contained in the resin A and is dispersed (preferably dissolved) in the resin A, generates radicals when irradiated with ultraviolet light, and the generated radicals react with nearby dyes, making the radicals more likely to react with the dye, and allowing the dye to fade and become discolored more efficiently.
- the wavelength selective absorption layer in the light absorbing filter I of the present invention contains a dye, a resin A containing an acid group, and a compound B that forms a hydrogen bond with the acid group contained in the resin A and generates radicals by ultraviolet irradiation.
- the light absorbing filter I of the present invention having a wavelength selective absorption layer of such a configuration can exhibit excellent adhesion, and also exhibit excellent decolorization even when irradiated with ultraviolet light in a mild environment at room temperature (meaning 10 to 30°C). The reason for this is presumed, but is thought to be as follows.
- the wavelength-selective absorption layer in the light-absorbing filter I of the present invention it is believed that radical species having strong reducing power are generated by ultraviolet irradiation. Therefore, even when ultraviolet irradiation is performed under mild temperature conditions such as room temperature, the dye is reduced and decomposed, and the dye fades and disappears.
- the dye contained in the wavelength-selective absorption layer in the light-absorbing filter I of the present invention contains at least one of an azo dye represented by any one of general formulas (i) to (iv) and an indoaniline dye represented by general formula (v) described below, it can be disappeared with almost no secondary absorption associated with the decomposition of the dye even when ultraviolet irradiation is performed in a mild environment of room temperature (meaning 10 to 30° C.).
- the azo dye represented by any of the general formulas (ii) to (iv) has a structure in which an electron-donating group (amino group) is substituted at one end of the chromophore and an electron-withdrawing group (thiazole group or isothiazole group) is substituted at the other end.
- an electron-donating group amino group
- thiazole group or isothiazole group an electron-withdrawing group
- the effect of stabilizing a radical by substituting both an electron-donating group and an electron-withdrawing group for the radical center is known as the "Captodative Effect" and is described, for example, in Acc. Chem. Res. Vol. 18 (1985), pp. 148-154.
- the azo dyes represented by any one of the general formulae (ii) to (iv) also easily generate radicals due to the above-mentioned "Captodative Effect", and therefore are considered to have an excellent decolorization rate when irradiated with ultraviolet light.
- the indoaniline dyes represented by the general formula (v) also have a structure in which an electron-donating group (amino group) is substituted at one end of the chromophore and an electron-withdrawing group (carbonyl group) is substituted at the other end, and due to the above-mentioned "Captodative Effect", an excellent decolorization rate is obtained even when irradiated with ultraviolet light under mild temperature conditions such as room temperature.
- the azo dyes represented by any one of the general formulae (ii) to (iv) and the indoaniline dyes represented by the general formula (v) themselves are considered to have excellent decolorization properties because they hardly cause secondary absorption associated with the decomposition of the dye.
