Abstract

The present invention provides a colorant-containing curable composition comprising a colorant, wherein the colorant contains a compound represented by the following Formula (I). In Formula (I), R 1 and R 2 each independently represent H, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group. R 1 and R 2 may be formed into a heterocycle together with a jointly bonded nitrogen atom. R 3 represents a halogen atom, a trihalomethyl group, an alkoxy group, a nitro group, or an amino group. n represents an integer of 0 to 4. R 4 represents a halogen atom or a —SO 3 M group, in which M represents H, a cation of a metallic atom, or a cation consisting of a nitrogen-containing compound. m represents an integer of 0 to 5. The present invention further provides a color filter comprising the compound represented by Formula (I) and a method for manufacturing the color filter.

Claims (17)

1. A colorant-containing curable composition comprising a colorant, wherein the colorant contains a compound represented by the following Formula (I):

wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 21 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 21 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 21 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group having 7 to 21 carbon atoms; R 1 and R 2 may be formed into a heterocycle together with a jointly bonded nitrogen atom; R 3 represents a halogen atom, a trihalomethyl group, an alkoxy group having 1 to 21 carbon atoms, a nitro group, or an amino group; n represents an integer of 0 to 4; R 4 represents a halogen atom or a —SO 3 M group, in which M represents a hydrogen atom, a cation of a metallic atom, or a cation consisting of a nitrogen-containing compound; and m represents an integer of 0 to 5.

2. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a monomer.

3. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 2 , wherein said monomer comprises a (meth)acrylic ester monomer.

4. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 2 , wherein said monomer comprises a quadrifunctional or higher (meth)acrylic ester monomer.

5. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a binder.

6. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 5 , wherein said binder comprises an alkali soluble (meth)acrylic resin.

7. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 5 , wherein said binder comprises an alkali soluble (meth)acrylic resin having an alkali soluble polymerizable side chain.

8. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a photopolymerization initiator.

9. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 8 , wherein the photopolymerization initiator comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a trihalomethyltriazine compound, a benzyldimethylketal compound, an α-hydroxyketone compound, an α-aminoketone compound, a phosphine oxide compound, a metalocen compound, an oxime compound, a triallyl imidazole dimer, a benzothiazole compound, a benzophenone compound, an acetophenone compound, a cyclopentadien-benzene-ferrous complex and a salt thereof, a halomethyloxadiazole compound, and a 3-aryl-substituted coumarin compound.

10. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 8 , wherein the photopolymerization initiator comprises at least one compound which does not generate an acid by decomposition.

11. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 8 , wherein said photopolymerization initiator comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an α-aminoketone compound, a phosphine oxide compound, a metalocen compound, an oxime compound, and a triallyl imidazole dimer.

12. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a crosslinking agent.

13. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a sensitizer and a solvent, and being a positive composition.

14. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 13 , wherein the sensitizer is o-benzoquinonediazide sulfonic acid ester or o-naphthoquinonediazide sulfonic acid ester.

15. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 14 , further comprising a curing agent.

16. The colorant-containing curable composition of claim 1 , further comprising a photo-acid generator and a curing agent, and being a positive composition.
