液晶顯示裝置係廣泛使用於顯示高畫質畫像的顯示裝置。A liquid crystal display device is widely used in a display device that displays a high-quality image.
液晶顯示裝置一般係在一對的基板(以下,亦稱為「顯示裝置用基板」)間,根據指定的配向配置能形成畫像顯示之液晶層,均勻地維持該基板間隔、亦即液晶層的厚度係為決定畫質的要素之一,為此配置了用以固定保持液晶層厚度的間隔物。該基板之間的厚度一般稱為「晶胞厚」,晶胞厚一般係為前述液晶層的厚度,換言之,表示對顯示領域的液晶施加電場之2片電極間的距離者。The liquid crystal display device is generally disposed between a pair of substrates (hereinafter also referred to as "display device substrate"), and a liquid crystal layer capable of forming an image display is arranged in accordance with a predetermined alignment, and the substrate interval, that is, the liquid crystal layer is uniformly maintained. The thickness is one of the elements determining the image quality, and a spacer for fixing the thickness of the liquid crystal layer is disposed for this purpose. The thickness between the substrates is generally referred to as "cell thickness", and the cell thickness is generally the thickness of the liquid crystal layer, in other words, the distance between two electrodes for applying an electric field to the liquid crystal in the display region.

Among these structures, a method of forming a colored pattern or a protective film is a method in which a photosensitive resin composition is used and formed by lithography.
又,關於間隔物在以往係藉由珠粒散布而形成的,但是在近年來係使用感光性樹脂組成物並藉由微影術,可形成位置精度高的間隔物。使用像這樣的感光性樹脂組成物而形成之間隔物係被稱為光間隔物。Further, the spacer is formed by scattering of beads in the related art. However, in recent years, a photosensitive resin composition is used and a spacer having a high positional accuracy can be formed by lithography. The spacer formed using such a photosensitive resin composition is called a photo spacer.
關於感光性樹脂組成物,從以往開始已有各種的檢討,例如,已揭示使用有乙烯性不飽和羧酸等與乙烯性不飽和化合物的共聚物及特定的光聚合引發劑之感光性樹脂組成物(例如,參照特開2007-86565號公報)。又,已揭示有由連結具有特定構造的脂肪族環狀烴基之構成單位、具有酸性官能基之構成單位與具有自由基聚合性基之構成單位的分子構造之脂肪族環狀烴基含有共聚物所構成的硬化性樹脂(例如,參照特開2002-293837號公報)。The photosensitive resin composition has been examined variously, and for example, a photosensitive resin composition using a copolymer of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid such as an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and a specific photopolymerization initiator has been disclosed. (For example, refer to Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2007-86565). Further, an aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon group-containing copolymer having a molecular structure in which a constituent unit of an aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon group having a specific structure, a constituent unit having an acidic functional group, and a constituent unit having a radical polymerizable group are bonded is disclosed. A curable resin is formed (for example, see JP-A-2002-293837).
根據本發明的態樣,能提供提高曝光時的聚合硬化性、在低溫加熱或無加熱處理下的圖案構造物、保護膜的形成為可能之感光性樹脂組成物、使用它之光間隔物及其形成方法、保護膜、著色圖案、以及具備彼等之顯示裝置用基板、及具備該顯示裝置用基板之顯示裝置。前述感光性樹脂組成物係含有樹脂、具有下述構造部分(I)之聚合性化合物[構造部分(I)中,X係表示氫原子或甲基,*係表示結合鍵]、與光聚合引發劑的感光性樹脂組成物,前述聚合性化合物係較佳為在分子中具有2個或3個以上的構造部分(I)。According to the aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a photosensitive resin composition which is improved in polymerization hardenability at the time of exposure, a pattern structure under low-temperature heating or no heat treatment, a formation of a protective film, a photo spacer using the same, and The formation method, the protective film, the colored pattern, the substrate for a display device including the same, and the display device including the substrate for the display device.

In the photosensitive resin composition of the agent, the polymerizable compound preferably has two or more structural portions (I) in the molecule.
發明所欲解決之課題Problem to be solved by the invention
在前述以往的感光性樹脂組成物中,一般的光聚合性單體係使用二季戊四醇六丙烯酸酯、二季戊四醇五丙烯酸酯等的具有乙烯性不飽和鍵之單體。In the conventional photosensitive resin composition, a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond such as dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate or dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate is used as a general photopolymerizable single system.
然而,使用以往的感光性樹脂組成物而在基板上形成圖案構造物(例如,光間隔物、著色圖案等。以下相同)、形成保護膜之情形中,僅曝光的話聚合硬化未必就充分了,而且在曝光、顯像後施加高溫的加熱處理之必要情形很多。又,當要求精細度之光間隔物等的圖案構造物的形成時,在防止形狀偏移之點,一般係認為曝光之際的聚合反應快速係為所期望的。However, in the case where a conventional photosensitive resin composition is used to form a pattern structure (for example, a photo spacer, a colored pattern, or the like, the same applies hereinafter) and a protective film is formed on the substrate, polymerization hardening is not necessarily sufficient only when exposed. Moreover, it is necessary to apply a high-temperature heat treatment after exposure and development. Further, when a pattern structure such as a fine photo spacer is required to be formed, it is generally considered that the polymerization reaction at the time of exposure is as fast as possible in order to prevent the shape from shifting.
本發明係有鑑於上述而完成的,以達成下述目的為課題。The present invention has been made in view of the above, and it is an object to achieve the following objects.
亦即,本發明係以提供在曝光時的聚合硬化性優異、能夠在低溫加熱處理或無加熱下得到圖案構造物、保護膜之感光性樹脂組成物為目的。In other words, the present invention has an object of providing a photosensitive resin composition which is excellent in polymerization hardenability at the time of exposure and which can obtain a pattern structure or a protective film under low-temperature heat treatment or without heating.
又,本發明係以提供具有均一性高的剖面形狀,且高度均一性優異之光間隔物及其製法為目的。Further, the present invention has an object of providing a photo spacer having a high cross-sectional shape with high uniformity and excellent uniformity of height and a method for producing the same.
又,本發明係以提供膜厚均一性優異之保護膜,或具有均一性高的剖面形狀,且膜厚均一性優異之著色圖案為目的。Further, the present invention has an object of providing a protective film having excellent film thickness uniformity or a colored pattern having a uniform cross-sectional shape and excellent film thickness uniformity.
又,本發明係以提供在使用於顯示裝置之際能夠抑制顯示不均之顯示裝置用基板、及顯示不均受到抑制之顯示裝置為目的。Moreover, the present invention has an object of providing a display device substrate capable of suppressing display unevenness and a display device having suppressed display unevenness when used in a display device.
解決課題之手段Means of solving problems
本發明係得到在分子中含有特定構造部分之聚合性化合物在提供光而進行之聚合反應為快速,所以成形性優異,而且與以往稱為所謂後烘烤之高溫加熱不同,例如在不滿200℃之低溫下加熱、或即使不進行加熱處理亦能提高硬化性的知見,且基於該知見而完成者。In the present invention, a polymerizable compound containing a specific structural moiety in a molecule is rapidly polymerized by providing light, and therefore it is excellent in moldability, and is different from high-temperature heating which is conventionally referred to as post-baking, for example, less than 200 ° C.

實施發明之形態Form of implementing the invention
以下,詳細說明本發明的感光性樹脂組成物,進而詳述使用該感光性樹脂組成物之光間隔物及其形成方法、保護膜、著色圖案、顯示裝置用基板、以及顯示裝置。Hereinafter, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail, and a photo spacer using the photosensitive resin composition, a method for forming the same, a protective film, a colored pattern, a substrate for a display device, and a display device will be described in detail.
《感光性樹脂組成物》"Photosensitive Resin Composition"
本發明的感光性樹脂組成物係至少使用樹脂、具有以下所示構造部分(I)之聚合性化合物、與光聚合引發劑而構成者。又,可按照需要,進一步使用其他成分來構成。The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is composed of at least a resin, a polymerizable compound having the structural portion (I) shown below, and a photopolymerization initiator. Further, other components may be further used as needed.
一般使用感光性樹脂組成物以在基板上形成圖案構造物(例如,光間隔物、著色圖案等。以下同樣)、保護膜之情形中,因為僅曝光而會容易使得聚合硬化變得不充分,所以為了進一步加速聚合硬化,一般係在曝光、顯像後施加在高溫中的加熱處理。然而,一施加高溫的加熱處理,就會招來所形成的圖案構造物、保護膜的惡化,或基板上的已經設立的圖案構造物,保護膜係因重複施加的熱而惡化。例如,在具有著色圖案的彩色濾光片基板上形成光間隔物之情形中,會導致這樣所形成之光間隔物本身的惡化,又已經形成於基板上的著色圖案會因所賦予的更多的熱而惡化。相對於此,在本發明藉由前述構成感光性樹脂組成物,會加速曝光時的聚合進行,所以成形性優異,此外提高曝光時的聚合硬化性,即使在低溫加熱(例如145℃以下)、無加熱處理下,亦可形成有均一性的圖案構造物、保護膜。藉此,不僅可抑制圖案構造物、保護膜的形狀偏移,而且能有效地抑制這樣所形成的圖案構造物、保護膜所遭受到的惡化及基板上的已經設立的圖案構造物、保護膜因熱所重複遭受的惡化。In general, when a photosensitive resin composition is used to form a pattern structure (for example, a photo spacer, a colored pattern, or the like, the same applies hereinafter) or a protective film on a substrate, polymerization hardening is likely to be insufficient because it is only exposed. Therefore, in order to further accelerate the polymerization hardening, it is generally applied to heat treatment at a high temperature after exposure and development. However, when a heat treatment is applied at a high temperature, the formed pattern structure, the deterioration of the protective film, or the already established pattern structure on the substrate, and the protective film are deteriorated by repeated application of heat. For example, in the case of forming a photo spacer on a color filter substrate having a colored pattern, the photo spacer itself thus formed may be deteriorated, and the colored pattern already formed on the substrate may be imparted by The heat is getting worse. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the composition of the photosensitive resin composition accelerates the polymerization during the exposure, the moldability is excellent, and the polymerization hardenability at the time of exposure is improved, and the mixture is heated at a low temperature (for example, 145 ° C or lower). A uniform pattern structure or a protective film can also be formed without heat treatment. Thereby, it is possible to suppress not only the pattern structure and the shape shift of the protective film, but also to effectively suppress the deterioration of the pattern structure and the protective film formed as described above, and the established pattern structure and protective film on the substrate. Deterioration due to repeated heat.
