## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0145454 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 27, 2013, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This disclosure relates to a black photosensitive resin composition, and a light blocking layer and a color filter prepared using the black photosensitive resin composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A liquid crystal display device includes a lower substrate including a color filter including a light blocking layer, a lower substrate on which an ITO pixel electrode is formed; an active circuit portion including a liquid crystal layer, a thin film transistor, and a capacitor layer; and an upper substrate on which an ITO pixel electrode is formed.
The light blocking layer blocks uncontrolled light transmitted out of a transparent pixel electrode of a substrate and thus prevents contrast reduction due to light transmitted through a thin film transistor. Red, green, and blue color layers transmit light with a predetermined wavelength of white light and display colors.
The light blocking layer is generally manufactured by a pigment dispersion method. The pigment dispersion method includes coating a transparent substrate with a colorant-containing photopolymerizable composition, exposing to provide a pattern by thermal curing, and removing non-exposed portions with a solvent.
However, when a photosensitive polyimide or phenol-based resin is used as a binder resin in the pigment dispersion method, high heat resistance may be obtained but sensitivity can be lowered and an organic solvent is required as a development solvent. A photoresist using an azide compound can have low sensitivity and heat resistance and may be affected by oxygen during exposure.
There have been attempts to improve taper characteristics by increasing the amount of a pigment in a photosensitive resin composition. There have also are been attempts to increase glass transition temperature by using a binder resin having a large molecular weight, a dispersing agent, or the like. These efforts, however, can result in deteriorating resolution or a development margin.
Accordingly, there is a need for a photosensitive resin composition that can have excellent pattern linearity, resolution, and the like as well as improved taper characteristics.

A black photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment includes (A) a binder resin; (B) a colorant including a pigment and a silica nanoparticle; (C) a photopolymerizable compound; (D) a photopolymerization initiator; and (E) a solvent, wherein the silica nanoparticle is included in an amount of about 1 part by weight to about 11 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the pigment.
When the silica nanoparticle is included in the colorant in an amount within the above range, improved taper characteristics as well as excellent linearity and developability of a pattern obtained by coating the photosensitive resin composition on a substrate and then, developing and heat-treating it may be accomplished.
Hereinafter, each component is specifically described.
(B) Colorant
The colorant includes a silica nanoparticle along with a pigment, and the silica nanoparticle may be included in an amount of about 1 part by weight to about 11 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of a pigment. For example, the silica nanoparticle may be included in an amount of about 1 part by weight to about 5 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the pigment. In some embodiments, the colorant may include the silica nanoparticle in an amount of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 parts by weight. Further, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the amount of the silica nanoparticle can be in a range from about any of the foregoing amounts to about any other of the foregoing amounts.
When the colorant includes the silica nanoparticle, the silica nanoparticle may be dispersed in the pigment. When the silica nanoparticle is dispersed in the pigment, a taper angle may be easily adjusted depending on the amount of the silica nanoparticle, and accordingly, a light blocking layer having a taper angle of greater than or equal to about 35° and excellent resolution may be manufactured.
As aforementioned, when the silica nanoparticle is included in an amount within the above range, a taper angle can be in a range of about 35° to about 70°, for example, about 35° to about 50°, and pattern linearity and developability can be improved. On the other hand, when the silica nanoparticle is included in an amount of greater than about 11 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the pigment, a black photosensitive resin composition may generate a wrinkle in a photosensitive resin film obtained after post-baking the black photosensitive resin composition and increase surface roughness thereof, and thus, a taper angle can be difficult to adjust. In addition, when the silica nanoparticle is included in an amount of less than about 1 part by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of a pigment, a black photosensitive resin composition may hardly form a pattern due to sharply deteriorated melting characteristics during post-baking, and even if a pattern is formed, the pattern may have unsatisfactory linearity as well as deteriorated surface characteristics.
The silica nanoparticle may have an average particle diameter of about 10 nm to about 50 nm, for example about 10 nm to about 20 nm. In some embodiments, the silica nanoparticle may have an average particle diameter of about 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, or 50 nm. Further, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the average particle diameter of the silica nanoparticle can be in a range from about any of the foregoing diameters to about any other of the foregoing diameters.
When the silica nanoparticle has an average particle diameter of less than about 10 nm, dispersion of the silica nanoparticle in a composition may be deteriorated. When the silica nanoparticle has an average particle diameter of greater than about 50 nm, surface roughness of a photosensitive resin film can increase, deteriorating taper characteristics.
The pigment included in the colorant may be a black pigment. Examples of the black pigment may include without limitation aniline black, perylene black, titanium black, cyanine black, carbon black and the like, and combinations thereof. For example, the black pigment may be carbon black. When the pigment includes a black pigment, for example, carbon black, light blocking, surface flatness, dispersion stability, and/or compatibility with a binder resin can be excellent.
The black pigment may also be used with a color calibrator. Examples of the color calibrator may include without limitation anthraquinone-based pigments, perylene-based pigments, phthalocyanine-based pigments, azo-based pigments, and the like, and combinations thereof.
The pigment may include a red pigment, a green pigment, a blue pigment, a yellow pigment, or a combination thereof in addition to the black pigment.
Examples of the red pigment may include without limitation C.I. red pigment 254, C.I. red pigment 255, C.I. red pigment 264, C.I. red pigment 270, C.I. red pigment 272, C.I. red pigment 177, C.I. red pigment 89, and the like. Examples of the green pigment may include without limitation halogen-substituted copper phthalocyanine pigments such as C.I. green pigment 36, C.I. green pigment 7, and the like. Examples of the blue pigment may include without limitation copper phthalocyanine pigments such as C.I. blue pigment 15:6, C.I. blue pigment 15, C.I. blue pigment 15:1, C.I. blue pigment 15:2, C.I. blue pigment 15:3, C.I. blue pigment 15:4, C.I. blue pigment 15:5, C.I. blue pigment 16, and the like.

The pigment may be used singularly or as a mixture of two or more, but is not limited thereto.
The black photosensitive resin composition may further include a dispersing agent in order to improve dispersion of the pigment. For example, the pigment may be surface-pretreated with a dispersing agent, or the pigment and dispersing agent may be added together during preparation of the black photosensitive resin composition.
The dispersing agent may be a non-ionic dispersing agent, an anionic dispersing agent, a cationic dispersing agent, and the like.

The dispersing agent may be included in an amount of about 0.1 wt % to about 15 wt % based on the total weight (100 wt %) of the black photosensitive resin composition. When the dispersing agent is included in an amount within the above range, the black photosensitive resin composition can have excellent dispersion property and thus, may form a light blocking layer that can have excellent stability, developability, and/or pattern-forming capability.
The pigment may be pre-treated using a water-soluble inorganic salt and a wetting agent. When the pigment is pre-treated, a primary particle of the pigment may become finer.
The pre-treatment may be performed by kneading the pigment with a water-soluble inorganic salt and a wetting agent and then, filtering and washing the kneaded pigment.
The kneading may be performed at a temperature ranging from about 40° C. to about 100° C., and the filtering and washing may be performed by filtering the pigment after washing away an inorganic salt with water and the like.
Examples of the water-soluble inorganic salt may include without limitation sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and the like, and combinations thereof. The wetting agent may allow the pigment to be uniformly mixed with the water-soluble inorganic salt and be pulverized. Examples of the wetting agent may include without limitation alkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers such as ethylene glycol monoethylether, propylene glycol monomethylether, diethylene glycol monomethylether, and the like, and alcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, hexanol, cyclohexanol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerine polyethylene glycol, and the like. These may be used singularly or as a mixture of two or more.
The pigment after the kneading may have an average particle diameter ranging from about 30 nm to about 100 nm. In some embodiments, the pigment after kneading may have an average particle diameter of about 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100 nm.

(3) Development
After the exposure process, an alkali aqueous solution can be used to develop the exposed film by dissolving and removing an unnecessary part except the exposed part, forming an image pattern.
(4) Post-Treatment
The developed image pattern may be heated again or radiated by an active ray and the like for curing, in order to accomplish excellent quality in terms of heat resistance, photo resistance, close contacting properties, crack-resistance, chemical resistance, high strength, storage stability, and the like.
Therefore, the above black photosensitive resin composition may provide a pattern having improved high close-contacting force and/or resolution required for a light blocking layer.
