Abstract

A photosensitive resin composition includes: (A) a binder resin; (B) a photopolymerizable monomer; (C) a photopolymerization initiator; (D) a quantum dot surface-modified with a compound having a thiol group at one terminal end and an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, a carboxyl group, or a hydroxy group at the other terminal end; and (E) a solvent. A curable composition includes: (A′) a resin; (B′) a quantum dot surface-modified with a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2; and (C′) a solvent. A method of manufacturing the surface-modified quantum dot, and a color filter manufactured using the photosensitive resin composition or the curable composition are also disclosed.

Claims (42)

1 . A photosensitive composition, comprising:

(A) a binder resin;

(B) a photopolymerizable monomer;

(C) a photopolymerization initiator;

(D) a quantum dot surface-modified with a first compound having a thiol group at one terminal end or at the middle of a main chain and having an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, a carboxyl group, or a hydroxy group at the other terminal end or a second compound having each thiol group at one terminal end and at the middle of the main chain and having an alkoxy group, a cycloalkyl group, a carboxyl group, or a hydroxy group at the other terminal end;

(E) a solvent; and

(F) a diffusion agent.

2 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the alkoxy group is a C1 to C10 alkoxy group and the cycloalkyl group is a C3 to C10 cycloalkyl group.

3 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the first compound and second compound each independently comprises an ester group.

4 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the surface-modified quantum dot has a core-shell structure wherein the shell comprises Zn, and the thiol group at the terminal end of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2 is bonded with Zn of the shell.

5 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the quantum dot has a maximum fluorescence wavelength in a wavelength range of 500 nm to 680 nm.

6 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises propylene glycol monomethylether acetate, dipropylene glycol methylether acetate, ethanol, ethylene glycoldimethylether, ethylene diglycolmethylethylether, diethylene glycoldimethylether, 2-butoxyethanol, N-methylpyrrolidine, N-ethylpyrrolidine, propylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, or a combination thereof.

7 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the binder resin comprises an acryl-based binder resin, a cardo-based binder resin, or a combination thereof.

8 . The photosensitive composition of claim 1 , wherein the diffusion agent is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % based on the total amount of the photosensitive composition.
