Description

Light scattering ink composition, light scattering pixel, color filter, and image display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a light scattering ink composition, a light scattering pixel, a color filter and an image display device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a light-scattering ink composition exhibiting excellent scattering particle dispersibility to improve ejection characteristics and to improve coating film hardness and coating film surface characteristics, a light-scattering pixel and a color filter formed using the light-scattering ink composition, and an image display device having the color filter.
Background
Color filters are widely used in image devices, liquid crystal devices, and the like, and their application range is gradually expanding.
In recent years, as one of methods for realizing color filters, a pigment dispersion method using a pigment-dispersible photosensitive resin has been employed. However, in the process of transmitting light irradiated from the light source through the color filter, a problem occurs in that a part of the light is absorbed by the color filter, so that light efficiency is lowered, and color reproducibility is lowered due to characteristics of pigments contained in the color filter.
In order to solve these problems, a color filter using quantum dots is proposed. For example, korean patent laid-open publication No. 10-2009-0036373 discloses that the display quality of a display device can be improved by increasing the light emission efficiency by using a light-emitting layer composed of a quantum dot fluorescent substance instead of a normal color filter.
However, in the case of a color filter including quantum dots, the efficiency of the quantum dots (especially, the efficiency of blue quantum dots) may be reduced, and thus the performance of the color filter may be slightly deteriorated. In addition, since the price of the blue quantum dot is high, there is a problem in that the overall manufacturing cost is increased.
Therefore, a color filter using a light source emitting blue light, having a red pattern layer containing red quantum dot particles and a green pattern layer containing green quantum dot particles, and having a transparent pattern layer not containing quantum dot particles at a position corresponding to the blue pattern layer, such that the red quantum dot particles emit red light, the green quantum dot particles emit green light, and the blue light directly transmits through the transparent pattern layer to display blue light, has been proposed.
The transparent pattern layer is mainly produced by photolithography using a photosensitive resin composition containing scattering particles. The photolithography method is a preparation method comprising the following steps: the light shielding material film is subjected to photolithography and development to form a partition wall pattern, a photosensitive resin is applied to the partition wall by a spin coating method, a slit coating method, or the like, and is patterned by photolithography and development, and then cured. This method has the advantage of a uniform thickness of the coated film. However, about 70% of the coating material used for forming the pattern is lost, and the cost required for installing an exposure apparatus, a developing apparatus, a curing device, and the like is high. In addition, it is difficult to manage productivity due to the long production line. In recent years, due to the increase in display material substrates, the cost for processing and mounting equipment is expected to increase more.
As an alternative to the above method, an inkjet method is proposed. The ink jet method is a technique for realizing a pattern by ejecting only an ink composition between openings of formed partition walls with an ink jet head, and can significantly reduce the manufacturing process, time, and cost. In the ink jet method using the ink composition, a specific amount of ink is ejected to the pixel openings between the partition walls, whereby a desired film thickness can be obtained.
However, a general ink composition is a solvent-based composition containing an appropriate amount of solvent to ensure ejection stability, and the film thickness becomes thin after curing although printing is performed with a uniform film thickness, so that there is a problem that the coating film hardness and surface characteristics are reduced.
Further, in the case of preparing the scattering particles in the form of a solvent-free composition, uniform dispersion is difficult, which may result in aggregation of the scattering particles. Therefore, the ejection characteristics are deteriorated due to the high viscosity.
Therefore, there is a need to develop an ink composition that exhibits excellent dispersion of scattering particles even without any solvent, thereby improving jetting characteristics, and has excellent coating film hardness and coating film surface characteristics.

Experimental example:
physical properties of the light scattering ink compositions prepared in examples and comparative examples were evaluated by the following methods, and the results are shown in table 2 below.
< preparation of light-scattering coating >
Each of the light-scattering ink compositions prepared in examples and comparative examples was applied by an ink-jet method onto a glass substrate of 5cm × 5cm, and as a UV light source, a 1KW high-pressure mercury vapor lamp containing all g, h and i lines at 1,000mJ/cm was used2The irradiation was performed, and then heated at 180 ℃ for 30 minutes in a heating oven, thereby preparing a light scattering coating.
(1) Dispersibility
The light-scattering ink composition was prepared, and the liquid sample was confirmed by naked eyes and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria.
< evaluation criteria >
○ No TiO was observed on the wall and bottom of the vial2Particles
× agglomerated TiO was observed on the wall and bottom of the vial2Particles
(2) Jetting characteristics
The ejection characteristics of the inks were evaluated using an inkjet drop analyzer according to the following evaluation criteria.
< evaluation criteria >

X: clogging of nozzles of ink-jet machines, or direction of ejected ink droplets not being straight
(3) Hardness of coating film
After the heating step (180 ℃/30 minutes), the coating hardness characteristics were confirmed as pencil hardness. The pencil hardness was measured using a pencil hardness tester (Korea Sukbo science) according to JIS K5400, 5600. The pencil was set to a hardness of 6B to 6H, which was manufactured by mitsubishi corporation. First, the indentation or scratch was visually confirmed, and when the number of occurrences of indentation or scratch was less than 2 in 5 measurements, it was confirmed as OK. The maximum hardness confirmed as OK represents the coating hardness.
