Description

  The present invention relates to a negative resist composition for color filters, a color filter, and a liquid crystal display device. More specifically, the present invention is a negative resist composition for color filters having excellent pigment dispersibility and excellent alkali developability, a color filter formed using the resist composition, and a liquid crystal display device having the color filter It is about.

  In recent years, with the development of personal computers, particularly portable personal computers, the demand for liquid crystal displays has increased. In recent years, the penetration rate of home-use liquid crystal televisions has been increasing, and the market for liquid crystal displays is expanding. Furthermore, liquid crystal displays that have become widespread in recent years tend to have larger screens, and this tendency is particularly strong for home-use liquid crystal televisions. In such a situation, it is desired to manufacture a high-quality low-cost and high-quality member that constitutes the liquid crystal display, particularly in a color filter having a function of color-displaying the liquid crystal display. However, such demands are increasing because of its high cost.

  Here, as a general method for producing a color filter, a coating film made of a photocurable resist composition in which a pigment of each color is dispersed is formed on a substrate on which a light shielding portion is formed in a pattern, and a desired color filter is formed. A method is used in which a colored layer of each color is formed in a pattern by exposure and alkali development through a photomask having a pattern.

  As the photocurable resist composition used for the production of such a color filter, in addition to the above-mentioned pigments of the respective colors, a pigment dispersant, an alkali-soluble resin, and a multi-component added to uniformly disperse the pigment are usually used. Those having a functional monomer, a photoinitiator, and a solvent are used. As a pigment dispersant used in such a photocurable resist composition, if the dispersibility of the pigment is insufficient when forming a colored layer of a color filter, color unevenness may occur in the colored layer. Therefore, those having excellent dispersibility are used. As the pigment dispersant having such excellent dispersibility, a pigment dispersant using an aromatic ester, an aromatic amine, and / or a graft copolymer having a quaternary ammonium group is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1). Has been. Also disclosed is a pigment dispersion containing a graft copolymer having a monomer containing a nitrogen atom as a main chain and a macromonomer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond at the terminal as a side chain (for example, Patent Document 2). .

In recent years, there is an increasing demand for high contrast in liquid crystal display devices, and in order to achieve such a demand, finer pigments are required. Therefore, the surface area of the pigment in the photo-curable resist composition is increased, and it is necessary to increase the amount of the pigment dispersant that is necessary for uniformly dispersing the pigment.
However, in the conventional pigment dispersant containing a quaternary ammonium base as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is possible to ensure uniform dispersibility of the pigment by increasing the amount of addition, but alkali developability There is a problem that the time required for alkali development is prolonged, and that the unexposed photocurable resist composition remains on the substrate, resulting in a decrease in productivity and quality. Further, in the pigment dispersion as disclosed in Patent Document 2, the amount of the dispersant increases as the pigment concentration in the resist composition increases. However, it was insufficient in that the developability deteriorated.

Alternatively, it is a monovalent group represented by —CH ₂ COOR ¹² , and R ¹² is a hydrogen atom or a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

An aryl group or an aralkyl group, a vinyl group, an allyl group, or — (CH (R ⁹ ) —CH (R ¹⁰ ) —O) _a —R ⁸ or — ((CH ₂ ) _b —O) _c —R ⁸ It is preferable that R ⁸ is —CO—CH═CH ₂ or —CO—C (CH ₃ ) ═CH ₂ from the viewpoint of excellent pigment dispersibility.

Among them, those having a polymerizable group, that is, a vinyl group, an allyl group, or — (CH (R ⁹ ) —CH (R ¹⁰ ) —O) _a —R ⁸ or — ((CH ₂ ) _b —O) _c — R ⁸ and R ⁸ is preferably —CO—CH═CH ₂ or —CO—C (CH ₃ ) ═CH ₂ , particularly R ⁴ , R ^{4 ′} and R ^{4 ″} are each independently vinyl. A group, an allyl group, a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl group, or a 2-acryloyloxyethyl group is preferable.
In such a case, the above-mentioned polymerizable groups and / or the above-mentioned polymerizable groups and the color filter of the present invention are exposed during exposure when forming a colored layer using the negative resist composition for color filters of the present invention. Can be easily polymerized with an alkali-soluble resin and a polyfunctional monomer contained in the negative resist composition for use, and the pigment dispersant can be stably present in the colored layer of the color filter. To do. Therefore, when a liquid crystal display device is manufactured using such a color filter, the pigment dispersant can be prevented from bleeding out to the liquid crystal layer or the like.

  In addition, since the organic phosphoric acid compound contains a polymerizable group, the polymerizable group of the organic phosphoric acid compound can be polymerized before being used for forming the colored layer, and as a result, a pigment dispersant. Therefore, the negative resist composition for the color filter at the unexposed portion can be made particularly excellent in alkali developability during development for forming the colored layer.

Here, the reason why the polymerizable groups are particularly excellent in alkali developability due to polymerization is presumed as follows.
That is, all of the added pigment dispersant does not contribute to the improvement of the dispersibility of the pigment described later, but a part of the pigment dispersant is present in a free state from the pigment. In addition, since the pigment dispersant generally lowers alkali developability, when there is a large amount of the pigment dispersant in a free state, it inhibits alkali development at the time of developing a colored layer. become.
On the other hand, the polymerizable groups are polymerized before being used for forming the colored layer, and have a high molecular weight, so that in the development of the colored layer, free pigment dispersion in the negative resist composition for the color filter. The amount of the agent can be reduced. For this reason, the inhibition of alkali development by the free pigment dispersant can be reduced, and the negative resist composition for color filter in the unexposed area can be made particularly excellent in alkali developability.

That is, a structure in which a carbon atom is directly bonded to phosphorus is preferable from the viewpoint of excellent alkali resistance.

Among them, those in which R ⁴ and / or R ^{4 ′} have an aromatic ring are preferable, and an aryl group or aralkyl group which may have a substituent is more preferable. Specifically, a benzyl group, a phenyl group, a tolyl group, and a naphthyl group are preferable.
In such a case, the alkali resistance of the colored layer formed using the negative resist composition for a color filter of the present invention can be made particularly excellent.

  The content of the organic phosphate compound in the (A) pigment dispersant used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as good pigment dispersion stability is exhibited. It is about 0.05-4.0 molar equivalent with respect to the amino group contained, Preferably it is 0.1-2.0 molar equivalent, More preferably, it is 0.2-1.0 molar equivalent.

<Production of salt-type graft copolymer>
In the present invention, the production method of the salt-type graft copolymer used as the pigment dispersant of the component (A) includes the nitrogen-containing monomer, a polymer chain, and a group having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond at its terminal. And the amino group of the nitrogen-containing monomer and the organophosphate compound represented by the general formula (II) form a salt. The method is not particularly limited as long as it can be performed. In the present invention, for example, the above-mentioned nitrogen-containing monomer is polymerized using a known polymerization means, and the obtained polymer is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent described later, and further a polymerizable oligomer is added and dissolved therein. After the inside is substituted with nitrogen, the polymerizable oligomer can be graft-polymerized by stirring for about 5 to 16 hours in a temperature range of 40 to 100 ° C. Next, the salt-type graft copolymer can be produced by adding the organic phosphoric acid compound to the solvent and stirring. In the above polymerization, additives generally used in the polymerization, for example, a polymerization initiator, a dispersion stabilizer, a chain transfer agent and the like may be used.

  In the negative resist composition for a color filter of the present invention, as the pigment dispersant as the component (A), one type of the above-mentioned salt type graft copolymer may be used, or two or more types may be used in combination. The content is appropriately selected according to the type of pigment used, the solid content concentration in the negative resist composition, and the like, but is usually 5 to 200 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the pigment described later. It is a range, It is preferable that it is 10-100 mass parts, and it is more preferable that it is 20-80 mass parts. If the content of the salt-type graft copolymer is within the above range, the pigment can be dispersed uniformly, and the blending ratio of the alkali-soluble resin and the polyfunctional monomer is not relatively lowered, which is sufficient. A colored layer having hardness can be formed.

((B) Pigment)

It is preferably in the range of ˜100 nm, and more preferably in the range of 10 to 50 nm. When the average particle diameter of the pigment is within the above range, a liquid crystal display device produced using the negative resist composition for color filters of the present invention can be made to have high contrast and high quality. In addition, with conventional pigment dispersants, as the particle size of the pigment becomes smaller, a large amount of pigment dispersant is required, which may cause problems such as reduced alkali developability and increased residue. Since the pigment dispersant used in the negative resist composition for color filters is excellent in alkali developability, it is less likely to cause such a problem. Therefore, as the average particle size of the pigment is within the above range, the smaller the conventional particle size is, the more the characteristics of the negative resist composition for color filters of the present invention can be exhibited.
In addition, the average particle diameter of the pigment can be obtained by a method of directly measuring the size of primary particles from an electron micrograph. Specifically, the minor axis diameter and major axis diameter of each primary particle were measured, and the average was taken as the particle diameter of the particle. Next, for 100 or more particles, the volume (weight) of each particle was obtained by approximating the obtained particle size to a rectangular parallelepiped, and the volume average particle size was obtained and used as the average particle size. The same result can be obtained regardless of whether the electron microscope is a transmission type (TEM) or a scanning type (SEM).

In the negative resist composition for a color filter of the present invention, the content of the pigment used as the component (B) is not particularly limited as long as a desired color can be formed when the colored layer of the color filter is used.
