Description

本発明は、液晶カラーフィルターを反転印刷法により製造する為のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版及びその製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an intaglio for printing plates having a different plate depth for each pattern for producing a liquid crystal color filter by a reversal printing method and a method for producing the same.

近年、フラットディスプレイとして、液晶ディスプレイ(LCD)が注目されており、その薄型、軽量、小消費電力、フリッカーレスといった特徴から、ノート型のパーソナルコンピューター(PC)、PC用のモニターを中心に市場が急速に拡大した。
また最近は、従来からCRTが主流であったTV向けにも大型のLCDが利用されるようになってきた。
In recent years, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have attracted attention as flat displays, and due to their thinness, light weight, low power consumption, and flickerless characteristics, the market is growing rapidly, mainly for notebook personal computers (PCs) and PC monitors. Expanded.
Recently, large LCDs have also been used for TVs for which CRT has been the mainstream.

液晶カラーフィルターは、パタン化された赤・緑・青や、シアン・マゼンダ・イエローの3色、及びこれに黒を加えた4色からなる着色層が透明基板上に形成されたものである。この着色層は、従来より、感光性顔料分散レジストをフォトリソ処理によって形成されているが、近年、液晶カラーフィルター(CF)の低コスト化を実現する為、印刷法によって形成することが提案されている。   The liquid crystal color filter is formed by forming a colored layer composed of three colors of patterned red, green, and blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow and four colors including black on a transparent substrate. Conventionally, this colored layer has been formed by photolithography treatment of a photosensitive pigment dispersion resist. In recent years, it has been proposed to form the colored layer by a printing method in order to reduce the cost of a liquid crystal color filter (CF). Yes.

印刷法には、凹版にインキを塗布、スキージで不要なインキを除去し、凹版内に残ったインキをオフセットブランケットに転写し、被印刷基板に印刷する方法(例えば、特許文献1参照。)や、オフセットブランケットにインキを塗布、刷版用凹版で不要なインキを除去し、オフセットブランケットに残ったインキを被印刷基板に印刷する方法が知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)
凹版の製造方法としては、一般的にガラス基板に金属薄膜でマスキングパターンを形成し、フッ酸等の薬液でガラスを溶解して形成する方法が知られている。
また、金属材料をエッチング処理して凹凸形状を形成する方法や、ベース基材にめっき等で厚付けした金属膜をエッチング処理して形成する方法が知られている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)
反転印刷用の刷版用凹版は、画面パタン、アライメントマーク、遮光用額縁パタンと様々な寸法のパタンを同一の刷版上に配置する必要がある。これらの様々な寸法のパタンを刷版用凹版からオフセットブランケットへ転写する場合、版深が浅いとオフセットブランケットのニップ圧により凹部の底にオフセットブランケットが接触する現象が認められる。この現象を回避する方策として、凹部の開口寸法が大きいパタンでは版深を深く設計する方法をとっている。
As the printing method, ink is applied to the intaglio, unnecessary ink is removed with a squeegee, the ink remaining in the intaglio is transferred to an offset blanket, and printed on a substrate to be printed (for example, see Patent Document 1). A method is known in which ink is applied to an offset blanket, unnecessary ink is removed with an intaglio for printing plate, and ink remaining in the offset blanket is printed on a substrate to be printed (for example, see Patent Document 2).
As a method for producing an intaglio, a method is generally known in which a masking pattern is formed with a metal thin film on a glass substrate, and the glass is dissolved with a chemical solution such as hydrofluoric acid.
In addition, there are known a method of forming a concavo-convex shape by etching a metal material, and a method of forming a metal film thickened by plating or the like on a base substrate (for example, see Patent Document 3). )
In the intaglio plate for reversal printing, it is necessary to arrange screen patterns, alignment marks, shading frame patterns, and patterns of various dimensions on the same printing plate. When these various patterns are transferred from the intaglio plate to the offset blanket, a phenomenon that the offset blanket contacts the bottom of the recess due to the nip pressure of the offset blanket when the plate depth is shallow is observed. As a measure to avoid this phenomenon, a method of designing a deep plate depth is used for a pattern having a large opening size of the recess.

従来の刷版用凹版製造方法では、版深を変更する為に、設定版深毎に複数回のエッチング処理する必要があり、この複数回のエッチングの前処理として、マスキングパターンを形成するためのフォトリソ処理を行っている。特に、ガラス基板や金属材はエッチングが入りにくい材料であり、刷版として数ミクロンから数十ミクロンの版深をエッチングにより形成する場合、凹部の開口寸法の面内分布の制御をより困難にしている。更に、マスキングパターンの開口寸法の面内分布の制御、マスキングパターンの膜欠陥に起因した基材の欠陥が、刷版の品質を低下させる原因となっている。   In the conventional intaglio plate manufacturing method for printing plates, in order to change the plate depth, it is necessary to perform a plurality of etching processes for each set plate depth, and as a pretreatment for this multiple etching, a masking pattern is formed. Photolithographic processing is performed. In particular, glass substrates and metal materials are materials that are difficult to etch. When forming a plate depth of several to several tens of microns as a printing plate by etching, it is more difficult to control the in-plane distribution of the opening size of the recesses. Yes. Further, the control of the in-plane distribution of the opening dimension of the masking pattern and the substrate defect caused by the film defect of the masking pattern cause the quality of the printing plate to deteriorate.

また、近年液晶TV製造用マザーガラスのサイズの大型化に伴い、必要とされる刷版も大型化してきている。大型化に伴い、刷版用凹版製造の従来方法で使用してきた基材の入手が制限されるようになっている。 ガラス材にマスキング層としての金属膜を形成した基材、大型の一枚ものの金属材料も使用が難しくなって来ており、従来どうりの刷版の品質が再現し難くなってきている。   In recent years, as the size of the mother glass for manufacturing liquid crystal TVs has increased, the required printing plates have also increased in size. Accompanying the increase in size, the availability of base materials that have been used in conventional methods for producing intaglio plates for printing plates has been restricted. A base material in which a metal film as a masking layer is formed on a glass material, and a large piece of metal material are becoming difficult to use, and it is difficult to reproduce the quality of a conventional printing plate.

こうして得られた刷版を使用してカラーフィルターを印刷する場合、画面内で線幅がバラツイてしまい、開口率、オーバーラップ量が変化するなど、カラーフィルターの表示品質を低下させる原因となっている。

When printing a color filter using the printing plate obtained in this way, the line width varies within the screen, and the aperture ratio and overlap amount change, which causes the display quality of the color filter to deteriorate. Yes.

以下、本発明の実施の形態につき説明する。
図1(a)、(b)及び(c)は、本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の一実施例を示す模式構成断面図である。
本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版100は、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層形成、パターン露光、現像処理を複数回(刷版用凹版100では2回)繰り返すことにより、第1凹版20及び第2凹版30を形成し、パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を形成したものである。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are schematic cross-sectional views showing one embodiment of an intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention.
The intaglio plate for printing plate 100 having a different plate depth for each pattern according to the present invention is obtained by repeating photosensitive layer formation, pattern exposure, and development processing on the printing plate base substrate 11 a plurality of times (twice for the intaglio plate for printing plate 100). The first intaglio 20 and the second intaglio 30 are formed, and intaglios for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern are formed.

本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版200は、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層41を形成し、パターン露光を複数回(刷版用凹版200では2回)繰り返し、一括現像にて凹版40を形成し、パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を形成したものである。   The intaglio plate for printing plate 200 having a different plate depth for each pattern according to the present invention forms the photosensitive layer 41 on the printing plate base substrate 11 and repeats pattern exposure a plurality of times (twice for the intaglio plate for printing plate 200).

ここで、本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を用いた反転印刷法について説明する。図5(a)〜(e)は、本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を用いた反転印刷法の主要工程を示す説明図である。。
まず、シリンダー胴61に所定厚のオフセットブランケット62が形成されたオフセットシリンダー60(図5(a)参照)に所定厚のウエット状態のインキ被膜71を形成したオフセットシリンダー60a(図5(b)参照)と本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版100(図5(c)参照)を準備する。
Here, the reverse printing method using the intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 5A to 5E are explanatory views showing the main steps of the reversal printing method using intaglio plates for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention. .
First, an offset cylinder 60a (see FIG. 5B) in which a wet ink film 71 having a predetermined thickness is formed on an offset cylinder 60 (see FIG. 5A) in which an offset blanket 62 having a predetermined thickness is formed on the cylinder body 61. ) And an intaglio plate for printing plate 100 (see FIG. 5C) having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention.

次に、インキ被膜71が形成されたオフセットシリンダー60aを本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版100に押圧しながら、回転することにより、刷版用凹版100の凸部にインキ被膜71が転写され、加圧されない刷版用凹版100の凹部のインキ被膜71はそのまま残り、画素パターン、額縁パターン及びアライメントマークが形成されたオフセットシリンダー60bが得られる(図5(d)参照)。。   Next, the offset cylinder 60a on which the ink film 71 is formed is rotated while being pressed against the intaglio plate 100 having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention, whereby the ink film is formed on the convex portions of the intaglio plate 100. 71 is transferred, and the ink film 71 in the concave portion of the printing plate intaglio 100 which is not pressed remains as it is, and an offset cylinder 60b on which a pixel pattern, a frame pattern and an alignment mark are formed is obtained (see FIG. 5D). .

次に、画素パターン、額縁パターン及びアライメントマークが形成されたオフセットシリンダー60bをガラス基板等からなる被転写基板12に押圧しながら、回転することにより、被転写基板12上にパターンが転写され、被転写基板12上には画素パターン71a、額縁パターン71b及びアライメントマーク71cが形成される。   Next, the offset cylinder 60b on which the pixel pattern, the frame pattern, and the alignment mark are formed is rotated while being pressed against the transfer substrate 12 made of a glass substrate or the like.

以下本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法について説明する。
図2(a)〜(d)は、請求項2に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法の一実施例の主要工程を示す説明図である。
請求項2に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法は、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層形成、パターン露光、現像処理を複数回繰り返すことにより、複数の凹版を形成し、パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を形成する方法である。
このように、複数の凹版を感光層で形成し、各感光層毎に、パターン露光、現像処理を行うことにより、凹版の深度、パタンサイズ・形状の制御が可能となる。
Hereinafter, a method for producing an intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention will be described.
FIGS. 2A to 2D are explanatory views showing the main steps of an embodiment of a method for producing an intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern according to claim 2.
The method of manufacturing an intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern according to claim 2 forms a plurality of intaglio plates by repeating photosensitive layer formation, pattern exposure, and development processing on the plate base substrate 11 a plurality of times. In this method, an intaglio plate for printing plate having a different plate depth for each pattern is formed.
In this manner, by forming a plurality of intaglio plates with a photosensitive layer and performing pattern exposure and development processing for each photosensitive layer, it is possible to control the depth, pattern size and shape of the intaglio plate.

凹版の深度をパタンサイズ・形状毎に変更する理由は、反転印刷法で、オフセットブランケット上のインキを刷版用凹版の凸部に転写する際、ニップ巾で数ミリの圧力をかけており、大パタンになると凹部のボトムにオフセットブランケット上のインキが接触する傾向が強くなる現象を受けてのものである。
カラーフィルターの3色およびブラックマトリクス(BLK)の各パタンには、数ミクロンから数ミリの様々な寸法のものがあり、刷版用凹版の凹部の開口部も数ミクロンから数ミリの様々な寸法を形成しなければならない。この開口部の寸法の違いに合わせ、大パタンの版深は細線パタンに比べ深く形成する必要がある。
一般に、感光性材料の現像可能なアスペクト比(深さ/開口部寸法)は0.8から2.0程度であり、細線パタンを深く現像するのには限界があり、同一刷版上で版深を複数水準変更するためには、各パタンにあわせ異なる露光・現像条件で処理する必要がある。
また、凹版の刷版材料として感光性材料を用いたのは、現像が容易で、寸法精度が高いこと、様々なパタン形状に対応できるためである。
The reason for changing the depth of the intaglio for each pattern size and shape is the reverse printing method, when transferring the ink on the offset blanket to the convex part of the intaglio plate for press, applying a pressure of several millimeters at the nip width, When the pattern becomes large, the ink tends to come into contact with the ink on the offset blanket at the bottom of the recess.
Each of the three colors of the color filter and the black matrix (BLK) pattern has various dimensions from several microns to several millimeters, and the indentations of the intaglio plate for printing plates have various dimensions from several microns to several millimeters. Must be formed. In accordance with the difference in dimension of the opening, it is necessary to form the plate depth of the large pattern deeper than that of the thin line pattern.
In general, the developable aspect ratio (depth / opening size) of a photosensitive material is about 0.8 to 2.0, and there is a limit to deep development of a fine line pattern. In order to change the depth to a plurality of levels, it is necessary to perform processing under different exposure / development conditions for each pattern.
The photosensitive material is used as the intaglio plate material because it is easy to develop, has high dimensional accuracy, and can accommodate various pattern shapes.

まず、刷版ベース基材11上に第1感光層21を形成する(図2(a)参照)。
第1感光層21を形成する感光性材料としては、液状レジスト、ドライフルムレジストが使用可能である。また製造プロセスによってネガ型レジスト、ポジ型レジストを使い分ければ良い。
また、感光層の厚みは凹版の開口部の版深設計に応じて設定すれば良い。
First, the first photosensitive layer 21 is formed on the printing plate base substrate 11 (see FIG. 2A).
As the photosensitive material for forming the first photosensitive layer 21, a liquid resist or a dry film resist can be used. Further, a negative resist and a positive resist may be properly used depending on the manufacturing process.
The thickness of the photosensitive layer may be set according to the plate depth design of the opening of the intaglio.

次に、第1感光層21をパターン露光、現像処理して、刷版ベース基材11上の第1感光層21にアライメントマーク用開口部22及び額縁パターン用開口部23が形成された第1凹版20を形成する(図2(b)参照)。
パターン露光としては、フォトマスクを用いたマスク露光、電子ビーム露光等が使用できる。
Next, the first photosensitive layer 21 is subjected to pattern exposure and development processing, and the first photosensitive layer 21 on the printing plate base substrate 11 is formed with the alignment mark opening 22 and the frame pattern opening 23. An intaglio 20 is formed (see FIG. 2B).
As pattern exposure, mask exposure using a photomask, electron beam exposure, or the like can be used.

次に、第1凹版20上に第2感光層31を形成する(図2(c)参照)。
第2感光層31を形成する感光性材料としては、第1感光層21にパターン開口部が形成されているため、ドライフルムレジストが好適である。また製造プロセスによってネガ型レジスト、ポジ型レジストを使い分ければ良い。
また、感光層の厚みは凹版の版深設計に応じて設定すれば良い。
Next, the second photosensitive layer 31 is formed on the first intaglio 20 (see FIG. 2C).
As the photosensitive material for forming the second photosensitive layer 31, a dry film resist is suitable because the pattern opening is formed in the first photosensitive layer 21. Further, a negative resist and a positive resist may be properly used depending on the manufacturing process.
The thickness of the photosensitive layer may be set according to the intaglio plate depth design.

次に、第2感光層31をパターン露光、現像処理して第1凹版20上にアライメントマーク用開口部32、額縁パターン用開口部33及び画素パターン用開口部34が形成された第2凹版30を形成し、本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版100を作製する(図2(d)参照)。
パターン露光としては、フォトマスクを用いたマスク露光、電子ビーム露光等が使用できる。
ここでは、感光層を2層使ったパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の事例について説明したが、さらに上記の工程を繰り返すことにより、複数の凹版からなるパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を作製することができる。
Next, the second photosensitive layer 31 is subjected to pattern exposure and development processing, and the second intaglio 30 in which the alignment mark opening 32, the frame pattern opening 33, and the pixel pattern opening 34 are formed on the first intaglio 20. And an intaglio plate 100 for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern of the present invention is produced (see FIG. 2D).
As pattern exposure, mask exposure using a photomask, electron beam exposure, or the like can be used.
Here, the example of the intaglio plate for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern using two photosensitive layers has been described. However, by repeating the above process, printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern consisting of a plurality of intaglio plates. An intaglio for printing plate can be produced.

図3(a)〜(b)は、請求項3に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法の一実施例の主要工程を示す説明図である。
請求項3に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法は、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層41を形成し、パターン毎にパターン露光を複数回繰り返し、一括現像にて凹版40を形成し、パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を形成する方法である。
このように、感光層41に対しパターン毎にパターン露光を複数回繰り返することにより、凹版の深度、パタンサイズ・形状の制御が可能となる。
FIGS. 3A to 3B are explanatory views showing the main steps of an embodiment of a method for producing a printing plate intaglio with different plate depths for each pattern according to claim 3.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing an intaglio for printing plate having a different plate depth, wherein the photosensitive layer 41 is formed on the printing plate base substrate 11 and the pattern exposure is repeated a plurality of times for each pattern. This is a method of forming an intaglio plate 40 and forming intaglio plates for printing plates having different plate depths for each pattern.
As described above, the pattern exposure and the pattern size and shape of the intaglio can be controlled by repeating the pattern exposure for each pattern on the photosensitive layer 41 a plurality of times.

凹版の深度をパタンサイズ・形状毎に変更する理由は、反転印刷法で、オフセットブランケット上のインキを刷版用凹版の凸部に転写する際、ニップ巾で数ミリの圧力をかけており、大パタンになると凹部のボトムにオフセットブランケット上のインキが接触する傾向が強くなる現象を受けてのものである。
カラーフィルターの3色およびブラックマトリクス(BLK)の各パタンには、数ミクロンから数ミリの様々な寸法のものがあり、刷版用凹版の凹部の開口部も数ミクロンから数ミリの様々な寸法を形成しなければならない。この開口部の寸法の違いに合わせ、大パタンの版深は細線パタンに比べ深く形成する必要がある。
一般に、感光性材料の現像可能なアスペクト比(深さ/開口部寸法)は0.8から2.0程度であり、細線パタンを深く現像するのには限界があり、同一刷版上で版深を複数水準変更するためには、各パタンにあわせ異なる露光・現像条件で処理する必要がある。
また、凹版の刷版材料として感光性材料を用いたのは、現像が容易で、寸法精度が高いこと、様々なパタン形状に対応できるためである。
The reason for changing the depth of the intaglio for each pattern size and shape is the reverse printing method, when transferring the ink on the offset blanket to the convex part of the intaglio plate for press, applying a pressure of several millimeters at the nip width, When the pattern becomes large, the ink tends to come into contact with the ink on the offset blanket at the bottom of the recess.
Each of the three colors of the color filter and the black matrix (BLK) pattern has various dimensions ranging from several microns to several millimeters, and the recess opening of the intaglio plate for printing plates also has various dimensions ranging from several microns to several millimeters. Must be formed. In accordance with the difference in dimension of the opening, it is necessary to form the plate depth of the large pattern deeper than that of the thin line pattern.
In general, the developable aspect ratio (depth / opening size) of a photosensitive material is about 0.8 to 2.0, and there is a limit to deep development of a fine line pattern. In order to change the depth to a plurality of levels, it is necessary to perform processing under different exposure / development conditions for each pattern.
The photosensitive material is used as the intaglio plate material because it is easy to develop, has high dimensional accuracy, and can accommodate various pattern shapes.

まず、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層41を形成する(図3(a)参照)。
感光層41を形成する感光性材料としては、液状レジスト、ドライフルムレジストが使用可能である。また露光プロセスで感光層の残存膜厚を設定するため、ポジ型レジストが好ましい。
また、感光層の厚みは、刷版用凹版の最も深い版深設計に応じて設定する。
First, the photosensitive layer 41 is formed on the printing plate base substrate 11 (see FIG. 3A).
As the photosensitive material for forming the photosensitive layer 41, a liquid resist or a dry film resist can be used. Further, a positive resist is preferable because the remaining film thickness of the photosensitive layer is set in the exposure process.
The thickness of the photosensitive layer is set according to the deepest plate depth design of the intaglio plate for printing plate.

次に、感光層41に版深の異なるパターン毎に露光量を変えたパターン露光を行い、現像処理して刷版ベース基材11上にアライメントマーク用開口部42、額縁パターン用開口部43及び画素パターン用開口部44が形成された凹版40を形成し、本発明のパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版200を作製する(図3(b)参照)。
パターン露光としては、パターン毎に露光量が変更可能なハーフトーンマスクを用いたマスク露光、直描の電子ビーム露光装置を用いたパターン描画が使用できる。
ポジ形レジストの使用により露光量の多い部分が深く、露光量を抑えた部分が浅く現像される為、露光量に応じた凹版の版深を設定することが可能である。
Next, the photosensitive layer 41 is subjected to pattern exposure in which the exposure amount is changed for each pattern having different plate depths, and development processing is performed to form an alignment mark opening 42, a frame pattern opening 43, and the like on the printing plate base substrate 11. The intaglio 40 having the pixel pattern opening 44 is formed, and the intaglio 200 for printing plate having a different plate depth for each pattern of the present invention is produced (see FIG. 3B).
As pattern exposure, mask exposure using a halftone mask whose exposure amount can be changed for each pattern, or pattern drawing using a direct drawing electron beam exposure apparatus can be used.
By using a positive resist, a portion with a large amount of exposure is developed deep and a portion with a small amount of exposure is developed shallow, so that the intaglio plate depth can be set according to the amount of exposure.

請求項4に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法は、刷版ベース基材11上に感光層形成とパターン露光とを複数回繰り返し、一括現像処理することにより、凹版50を形成し、パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を形成する方法である。
このように、感光層形成とパターン露光とを複数回繰り返し、一括現像処理することにより、凹版の深度、パタンサイズ・形状の制御が可能となる。

In this way, the depth of the intaglio, the pattern size and the shape can be controlled by repeating the formation of the photosensitive layer and the pattern exposure a plurality of times and performing a batch development process.

凹版の深度をパタンサイズ・形状毎に変更する理由は、反転印刷法で、オフセットブラ

一般に、感光性材料の現像可能なアスペクト比(深さ/開口部寸法)は0.8以下程度であり、細線パタンを深く現像するのには限界があり、同一刷版上で版深を複数水準変更するためには、各パタンにあわせ異なる露光・現像条件で処理する必要がある。
また、凹版の刷版材料として感光性材料を用いたのは、現像が容易で、寸法精度が高いこと、様々なパタン形状に対応できるためである。

Must be formed. In accordance with the difference in dimension of the opening, it is necessary to form the plate depth of the large pattern deeper than that of the thin line pattern.
In general, the developable aspect ratio (depth / opening size) of a photosensitive material is about 0.8 or less, and there is a limit to deep development of fine line patterns. In order to change the level, it is necessary to process under different exposure and development conditions for each pattern.
The photosensitive material is used as the intaglio plate material because it is easy to develop, has high dimensional accuracy, and can accommodate various pattern shapes.

ここでは、感光層を2層使ったパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の事例について説明したが、さらに上記の工程を繰り返すことにより、複数の感光層からなるパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を作製することができる。

請求項5に係るパターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版の製造方法は、刷版ベース基材11とパターン形成用の被転写基板との熱膨張率差が15×10-7cm/cm/℃以下としている。
上記パターン毎に版深が異なる刷版用凹版を用いた反転印刷法で説明したカラーフィルター形成用の被転写基板は、対向電極基板とのセルの位置精度を保証する為に、トータルピッチは±3μm以下で制御することが求められている。現在、カラーフィルター形成用の

Control is required at 3 μm or less. Currently, the glass substrate material with the same coefficient of thermal expansion is used for the transfer substrate and counter electrode substrate for color filter formation, and the total pitch is controlled using a Quartz photomask with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. ing.
In the printing color filter, the method for controlling the total pitch of the transfer substrate for forming the color filter and the counter electrode substrate is the same as in the case of the photolithography process. Control of the total pitch of the intaglio for printing plates is important for controlling the total pitch of the transfer substrate for forming the color filter.
