Abstract

A photoresist composition includes a coloring agent, a binder resin, a cross-linker, a photo-polymerization initiator and a solvent. The coloring agent includes an anthraquinone-based dye and a pigment. A color filter formed from the photoresist composition has a relatively greater light-transmittance. Thus, a contrast of a display apparatus having the color filter may be improved.

Claims (35)

1. A photoresist composition, comprising:

a coloring agent comprising an anthraquinone-based dye,

wherein the anthraquinone-based dye comprises a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent one selected from the group consisting of an amine group, a hydroxyl group and a halogen atom, and R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is a natural number;

a binder resin;

a cross-linker;

a photo-polymerization initiator; and

a solvent.

2. The photoresist composition of claim 1 , wherein the anthraquinnone-based dye comprises a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (2):

3. The photoresist composition of claim 1 , wherein the coloring agent is about 10% to about 60% by weight based on a total weight of the photoresist composition.

4. The photoresist composition of claim 3 , wherein the anthraquinone-based dye is about 5% to about 50% by weight based on a total weight of the coloring agent.

5. The photoresist composition of claim 4 , wherein the anthraquinone-based dye comprises a maximum ultraviolet (UV) ray absorbance in a range between about 525 nm and about 535 nm.

6. The photoresist composition of claim 1 , wherein the binder resin includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a phenol-based polymer and an acryl-based polymer.

7. The photoresist composition of claim 2 , wherein the coloring agent further comprises a pigment.

8. The photoresist composition of claim 7 , wherein the pigment comprises an organic pigment.

9. The photoresist composition of claim 8 , wherein the pigment comprises at least one of C.I. pigment yellow 83, C.I. pigment yellow 150, C.I. pigment yellow 138, C.I. pigment yellow 128, C.I. pigment orange 43, C.I. pigment red 177, C.I. pigment red 202, C.I. pigment red 209, C.I. pigment red 254, C.I. pigment red 255, C.I. pigment green 7, C.I. pigment green 36, C.I. pigment blue 15, C.I. pigment blue 15:3, C.I. pigment blue 15:4, C.I. pigment blue 15:6, C.I. pigment violet 23, C.I. pigment black 1 or C.I. pigment black 7.

10. The photoresist composition of claim 7 , further comprising an additive that includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a pigment-dispersing agent, an adhesive and a surfactant.

11. The photoresist composition of claim 10 , wherein the additive is about 1% to about 3% by weight based on a total weight of the photoresist composition.

12. A color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate;

a photoresist layer comprising an anthraquinone-based dye on the substrate,

wherein the anthraquinone-based dye comprises a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent one selected from the group consisting of an amine group, a hydroxyl group and a halogen atom, and R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is a natural number.

13. The color filter substrate of claim 12 , wherein the anthraquinone-based dye comprises a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula (2):

14. The color filter substrate of claim 12 , wherein the anthraquinone-based dye comprises a maximum ultraviolet (UV) ray absorbance in a range between about 525 nm and about 535 nm.

15. The color filter substrate of claim 12 , further comprising a protecting layer on the color filter pattern and the light-blocking layer.

16. The color filter substrate of claim 12 , further comprising a common electrode layer on the photoresist layer.
