Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermosetting composition which enables a cured film with excellent flatness is to be formed while maintaining heat resistance possessed by a cured product of a polyesteramide acid-based thermosetting composition, and to provide a thermosetting composition with excellent low-temperature curability.SOLUTION: A reaction product (A) is obtained by making a dicarboxylic acid anhydride (a1), an amino compound (a2) represented by general formula (1), a hydrolyzable silicon compound (a3) other than the amino compound (a2), and a metal alkoxide (a4) react with one another.

Description

  The present invention relates to a novel substance, a thermosetting composition containing the same, and a cured film obtained by heating and curing the composition. The cured film includes a color filter, a protective film for an LED illuminant, and a thin film transistor. And a transparent insulating film formed between the transparent electrode and the alignment film.

  In the manufacturing process of liquid crystal display elements, various chemical treatments are performed with organic solvents, acids, alkaline solutions, etc., and when the wiring electrode is formed by sputtering, the element surface is locally heated to a high temperature. Sometimes. Therefore, a protective film may be provided on the surface of the element for the purpose of preventing deterioration, damage, and alteration of the surface of various elements.

  These protective films are required to have various characteristics that can withstand each process in the manufacturing process as described above. Specifically, chemical resistance such as solvent resistance, acid resistance and alkali resistance, water resistance, heat resistance, adhesion to an underlying substrate such as glass, transparency, scratch resistance, coatability (protective film forming material Properties that can be applied to the element surface), flatness, and weather resistance so as not to cause deterioration such as coloring over a long period of time are required.

  Among the above characteristics, when the protective film is used as a color filter protective film, flatness is regarded as important from the viewpoint of uniformizing the change in the liquid crystal cell gap due to the level difference of the pixels. As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid crystal cell gap is the thickness of the liquid crystal layer provided on the color filter in the liquid crystal display element. If there is a step in the pixel and it is also transferred to the protective film, the liquid crystal cell gap will not be uniform.

  Regarding the flatness, specifically, the difference between the uppermost portion and the lowermost portion of the protective film surface on the R, G, and B pixels including the black matrix after forming the protective film is 0.2 μm or less. It is required to be.

  As a protective film forming material having these excellent properties, a polyester amide acid-containing thermosetting composition has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). However, the polyester amide acid in the thermosetting composition used for forming the polyester imide cured film has a relatively high molecular weight, and there is a problem that a polyester imide cured film having sufficient flatness cannot be obtained.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the above thermosetting composition, that is, curing with good flatness while maintaining the heat resistance of the cured product of the polyester amidic acid thermosetting composition. The object is to provide a thermosetting composition capable of forming a film. Furthermore, this invention aims at providing the thermosetting composition excellent in low-temperature curability.

1) Formation of coating film First, the thermosetting composition of the present invention is applied onto a substrate such as glass by a known method such as spin coating, roll coating, or slit coating to form a coating film. Next, the coating film of the thermosetting composition on the substrate is usually dried (prebaked) at 60 to 150 ° C. for 1 to 10 minutes using a hot plate or oven.

2) Heat curing (firing)
The coating film on the substrate is finally baked at 100 to 250 ° C. for 10 to 120 minutes (post-baking). Thereby, the cured film of the present invention having a thickness of usually 0.5 to 5 μm is obtained. In addition, since the thermosetting composition of the present invention is excellent in low-temperature curability, it is cured by heating at a low temperature of about 3 minutes at 100 ° C., and there is no problem during the production of the cured film. Curing occurs.

  A transparent electrode may be formed on the desired cured film thus obtained by sputtering, and after patterning by etching, a film for orientation treatment may be formed on the transparent electrode. Since the cured film has high sputter resistance, wrinkles are not generated in the cured film even when a transparent electrode is formed, and high transparency can be maintained.

[4. Color filter of the present invention]
As described above, since the thermosetting composition of the present invention has a large flow during heating, it is flat when applied on a surface having irregularities such as a color filter in which pixels are formed on a substrate and then heat-cured. A cured film having excellent properties can be obtained.

  As described above, this cured film is excellent in transparency, solvent resistance, water resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance, low dielectric constant, adhesion to the base, etc. It is suitable as.

The display element of the present invention can have the same configuration as that of a known display element except for the color filter and the array substrate. Examples of the display element include a liquid crystal display element and an organic EL element.

  For example, a liquid crystal display element, which is one of the display elements, aligns a substrate provided with a cured film (protective film) formed on a color filter as described above and an array substrate as a counter substrate. Then, they are combined by heat treatment and then injecting liquid crystal between the opposing substrates and sealing the injection port.

  Alternatively, after the liquid crystal is spread on one of the substrate having the cured film (protective film) formed on the color filter and the array substrate, the other substrate is overlapped so that the liquid crystal does not leak. The liquid crystal display element may be a liquid crystal display element manufactured in this way.

  Further, the liquid crystal display element may have a configuration having an array substrate in which a transparent insulating film is formed between a transparent electrode and an alignment film. In this case, the cured film of the present invention is used as the transparent insulating film. Can be formed. Since the cured film of the present invention is excellent in heat resistance, the liquid crystal display element of the present invention having the cured film of the present invention as a transparent insulating film is a post-process of creating the cured film in the process of manufacturing the liquid crystal display element. High transparency can be achieved.

  As described above, the display element of the present invention can be a liquid crystal display element having a color filter having a protective film excellent in flatness formed from the thermosetting composition of the present invention.
