Description

低温硬化性樹脂組成物Low temperature curable resin composition
本発明は、イメージセンサ、ディスプレイデバイス等のカラーフィルターを備えたデバイスにおいて、該カラーフィルターの下層及び上層に形成される硬化膜を形成するために用いられる樹脂組成物に関する。特に、110℃を超えないベーク温度で硬化膜を形成可能な低温硬化性樹脂組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a resin composition used for forming a cured film formed on a lower layer and an upper layer of a color filter in a device provided with a color filter such as an image sensor and a display device. In particular, the present invention relates to a low temperature curable resin composition capable of forming a cured film at a baking temperature not exceeding 110 ° C.
近年、CCDイメージセンサ、CMOSイメージセンサ、液晶ディスプレイ、有機ELディスプレイ等のデバイスは、カラーフィルターが欠かせない構成部品の一つになっている。 In recent years, devices such as CCD image sensors, CMOS image sensors, liquid crystal displays, and organic EL displays have become one of the indispensable components of color filters.
一般に、カラーフィルターの保護及びカラーフィルター表面の凹凸を平滑化することを目的として、カラーフィルター上層には保護膜、平坦化膜といった透明樹脂膜が形成される。また、カラーフィルターと下地基板との密着性を向上させること、及び回路配線部、遮光膜、インナーレンズ等の存在に起因する凹凸を平滑化することを目的として、カラーフィルター下層にも透明樹脂膜が形成される。このような透明樹脂膜を形成するための組成物は、例えば特許文献1乃至特許文献4に開示されている。 Generally, a transparent resin film such as a protective film or a flattening film is formed on the upper layer of the color filter for the purpose of protecting the color filter and smoothing the unevenness of the surface of the color filter. In addition, a transparent resin film is also applied to the lower layer of the color filter for the purpose of improving the adhesion between the color filter and the base substrate and smoothing the unevenness caused by the presence of the circuit wiring part, the light-shielding film, the inner lens, etc. Is formed. Compositions for forming such a transparent resin film are disclosed in, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4.
カラーフィルターの形成には、例えば、顔料又は染料を含有する、赤、緑及び青の3色のカラーレジストが一般的に用いられる。3色のカラーレジストを用いたカラーフィルターの形成方法は、まず第1色目のカラーレジストを塗布し、露光、現像、及び加熱処理を行い、第1色目のカラーレジストパターンを形成する。その後、第1色目のカラーレジストパターンと同様にして、第2色目及び第3色目のカラーレジストパターンを形成し、カラーフィルターを形成する。 For the formation of the color filter, for example, a color resist of three colors of red, green and blue containing a pigment or a dye is generally used. In the method of forming a color filter using a three-color color resist, first, a color resist of the first color is applied, and exposure, development, and heat treatment are performed to form a color resist pattern of the first color. After that, the color resist patterns of the second color and the third color are formed in the same manner as the color resist pattern of the first color, and the color filter is formed.
このようなカラーフィルター形成方法において、カラーフィルターの色再現性の劣化及びカラーフィルターを備えたデバイスの歩留まり低下を抑制するために、カラーレジストパターン形成時にカラーレジストの残渣の発生を抑えることが重要となる。 In such a color filter forming method, it is important to suppress the generation of color resist residue when forming a color resist pattern in order to suppress the deterioration of the color reproducibility of the color filter and the decrease in the yield of the device equipped with the color filter. Become.
前記有機ELディスプレイデバイスは、他のデバイスと比較して低温でのプロセスによって製造されることが望ましい。例えば、特許文献5に開示されているように、有機EL素子の特性維持の為、110℃よりも高い温度を掛けないことが要求される。したがって、前記カラーフィルターの上下層に形成する前記透明樹脂膜は、110℃以下の温度で樹脂組成物を硬化して形成できることが必要である。 It is desirable that the organic EL display device be manufactured by a process at a lower temperature than other devices. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 5, in order to maintain the characteristics of the organic EL element, it is required not to apply a temperature higher than 110 ° C. Therefore, it is necessary that the transparent resin film formed on the upper and lower layers of the color filter can be formed by curing the resin composition at a temperature of 110 ° C. or lower.

However, the transparent resin film formed from the conventional low-temperature curable material has a problem that it does not have a sufficient effect of suppressing the generation of residue of the color resist and a sufficient reliability as a permanent film.
