     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a coloring composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a coloring composition which is suitable for the manufacture of a color filter for use in a solid-state imaging device, an image display device, and the like. The present invention further relates to a cured film, a color filter, a solid-state imaging device, an image display device, and an organic electroluminescent element, each using the coloring composition; a method for manufacture of a color filter using the coloring composition; and a colorant and a method for producing a colorant. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART 
     As digital cameras, camera-equipped cellular phones, and the like have come into wide use in recent years, a demand for solid-state imaging devices such as a CCD image sensor has greatly increased. As a key device of these displays or optical devices, a color filter is used, and it is increasingly required for the color filter to have a higher degree of sensitivity and to be miniaturized. Such a color filter has a colored pattern of three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and plays a role in separating transmitted light into the three primary colors. 
     Coloring agents for use in the color filters are required to have properties as follow in common. That is, they are required to have light absorption properties that are preferable in term of color reproducibility; good light fastness; and the like. 
     For example, JP2013-209435A discloses a quinophthalone colorant which has excellent solvent solubility and fastness, which has 2 to 6 colorant structures derived from a quinophthalone colorant within one molecule. 
     On the other hand, JP2007-277514A discloses a pigment dispersing agent which has 2 to 9 moieties having an ability of being absorbed onto a pigment within one molecule. Examples of the moiety having an ability of being absorbed onto a pigment include an organic colorant structure, a heterocyclic structure, an acid group, a basic nitrogen atom-containing group, a urea group, a urethane group, a group having a coordinating oxygen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 4 or more carbon atoms, an alkoxysilyl group, an epoxy group, an isocyanate group, and a hydroxyl group. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     A coloring composition for use in a color filter or the like is required to have further improvement in light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness. 
     The present inventors have studied a coloring composition including the colorant disclosed in JP2013-209435A, and as a result, they have found that the coloring composition has deteriorated color migration properties or flatness. 
     On the other hand, JP2007-277514A is directed to an invention relating to a pigment dispersing agent. It describes that an organic colorant structure is used as a moiety having an adsorbing property onto a pigment, but since it is preferable that the pigment dispersing agent has no color, it is necessary for a moiety having an adsorbing ability onto a pigment to take a structure having small absorbance. In addition, JP2007-277514A has no description on any motif for use of a pigment dispersing agent as a coloring agent. Therefore, there is no necessity that the pigment dispersing agent described in JP2007-277514A is used as a coloring agent. 
     The present invention has been made taking such situations into consideration, and thus has an object to provide a coloring composition having excellent light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness, a colorant, and a method for producing a colorant. The present invention has another object to provide a cured film, a color filter, a method for manufacturing a color filter, a solid-state imaging device, an image display device, and an organic electroluminescent element, each using such a coloring composition. 
     The present inventors have extensively studied and as a result, they have found that a coloring composition having excellent light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness is obtained with a coloring composition containing a colorant having 2 to 14 a colorant structures, and 1 to 13 specific monovalent substituents having repeating units derived from a vinyl compound, thereby completing the present invention.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The present invention will be described in detail. 
     In citations for a group (atomic group) in the present specification, when the group is denoted without specifying whether it is substituted or unsubstituted, the group includes both a group having no substituent and a group having a substituent. For example, an “alkyl group” includes not only an alkyl group having no substituent (unsubstituted alkyl group), but also an alkyl group having a substituent (substituted alkyl group). 
     Furthermore, “active light” or “radiation” in the present specification means, for example, bright line spectrum of a mercury lamp, far ultraviolet rays represented by an excimer laser, extreme ultraviolet rays (EUV rays), X-rays, electron beams, or the like. In addition, in the present invention, light means actinic rays or radiation. “Exposure” in the present specification includes, unless otherwise specified, not only exposure by a mercury lamp, far ultraviolet rays represented by an excimer laser, X-rays, EUV rays, or the like, but also writing by particle rays such as electron beams and ion beams. 
     In the present specification, a numeral value range represented by “(a value) to (a value)” means a range including the numeral values represented before and after “to” as a lower limit value and an upper limit value, respectively. 
     In the present specification, the total solid content refers to a total mass of the components remaining when a solvent is excluded from the entire composition of a coloring composition. 
     Moreover, in the present specification, “(meth)acrylate” represents either or both of acrylate and methacrylate, “(meth)acryl” represents either or both of acryl and methacryl, and “(meth)acryloyl” represents either or both of acryloyl and methacryloyl. 
     In addition, in the present specification, a “monomer material” and a “monomer” have the same definition. The monomer in the present specification refers to a compound which is distinguished from an oligomer or a polymer and has a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000 or less. In the present specification, a polymerizable compound refers to a compound having a polymerizable functional group, and may be a monomer or a polymer. The polymerizable functional group refers to a group involved in a polymerization reaction. 
     In the present specification, Me represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group, Pr represents a propyl group, Bu represents a butyl group, and Ph represents a phenyl group in formulae. 
     In the present specification, a term “step” includes not only an independent step, but also steps which are not clearly distinguished from other steps if an intended action of the steps is obtained. 
     In the present specification, the weight-average molecular weight and the number-average molecular weight are defined as a value in terms of polystyrene by GPC measurement. In the present specification, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) can be determined, for example, using HLC-8220 (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) and TSKgel Super AWM-H (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation, 6.0 mm ID×15.0 cm) as a column, and a 10 mmol/L solution of lithium bromide in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as an eluant. 
     &lt;Coloring Composition&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention contains the colorant represented by General Formula (1) which will be described later, and a curable compound. 
     By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide a coloring composition having excellent light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness. 
     A reason for obtaining such an effect is still not clear, but it is presumed that the colorant represented by General Formula (1) which will be described later includes two or more colorant structures and a small deviation in molecular weights, and as a result, its light fastness and color migration properties are improved. In addition, it is thought that by incorporating a specific monovalent substituent having repeating units derived from a vinyl compound into the composition, the viscosity decreases and the flatness of the coating film is improved. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. 
     &lt;&lt;Colorant Represented by General Formula (1)&gt;&gt; 
     The composition of the present invention contains at least one kind of colorant represented by the following General Formula (1) (which may be hereinafter referred to as a simply “colorant (A)” in some cases). Further, the colorant (A) is also the colorant of the present invention. 
     The colorant (A) is an oligomer in the form of a dimer through a 14-mer having a colorant structure, and has a maximum absorption wavelength in a range of 400 nm to 800 nm. The colorant (A) functions as a coloring agent, for example, in the coloring composition of the present invention.

     In General Formula (1), R 2  and L 1  each independently represent a single bond or a divalent linking group. In the case of a plurality of R 2 &#39;s and L 1 &#39;s are present, they may be the same as or different from each other.

     &lt;&lt;Curable Compound&gt;&gt; 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Polymerizable Compound&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention contains a curable compound. As the curable compound, known polymerizable compounds which can be crosslinked by a radical, an acid, or heat can be used. Examples thereof include polymerizable compounds including an ethylenically unsaturated bond, a cyclic ether (epoxy or oxetane), methylol, or the like. From the viewpoint of sensitivity, the polymerizable compound is suitably selected from compounds having at least one, and preferably two or more ethylenically unsaturated terminal bonds. Among these, polyfunctional polymerizable compounds having 4 or more functional groups are preferable, and polyfunctional polymerizable compounds having 5 or more functional groups are more preferable. 
     Such compound groups are widely known and can be used in the present invention without particular limitation. These may be in any type of chemical forms such as a monomer, a prepolymer, that is, a dimer, a trimer, an oligomer, a mixture thereof, and a multimer thereof. The polymerizable compound in the present invention may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds thereof. 
     Examples of the monomer and prepolymer include unsaturated carboxylic acids (for example, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, isocrotonic acid, and maleic acid) or esters thereof, amides, and multimers of these, and among these, an ester of unsaturated carboxylic acid and an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol compound, amides of unsaturated carboxylic acid and an aliphatic polyamine compound, and multimers of these are preferable. Moreover, products of an addition reaction between unsaturated carboxylic acid esters or amides having nucleophilic substituent such as a hydroxyl group, an amino group, and a mercapto group and monofunctional or polyfunctional isocyanates or epoxies, products of a dehydration condensation reaction between the unsaturated carboxylic acid esters or amides and a monofunctional or polyfunctional carboxylic acid, and the like are also suitably used. In addition, products of an addition reaction between unsaturated carboxylic acid esters or amides having an electrophilic substituent such as an isocyanate group and an epoxy group and monofunctional or polyfunctional alcohols, amines, or thiols, and products of a substitution reaction between unsaturated carboxylic acid esters or amides having an eliminatable substituent such as a halogen group and a tosyloxy group, and monofunctional or polyfunctional alcohols, amines, or thiols are also suitable. As other examples, instead of the above unsaturated carboxylic acid, vinyl benzene derivatives of unsaturated phosphonic acid, styrene, and the like and compound groups substituted with vinyl ether, allyl ether, or the like can also be used. 
     As these specific compounds, the compounds described in paragraph Nos. [0095] to [0108] of JP2009-288705A can also be suitably used in the present invention. 
     Furthermore, as the polymerizable compound, compounds having ethylenically unsaturated groups having a boiling point of 100° C. or higher at a normal pressure, which has at least one addition-polymerizable ethylene group, are also preferable. For examples thereof, reference can be made of, for example, paragraphs 0227 of JP2013-29760A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     Furthermore, for the compounds having ethylenically unsaturated groups that have a boiling point of 100° C. or higher at a normal pressure and have at least one addition-polymerizable ethylene group, reference can be made of, for example, paragraphs Nos. 0254 to 0257 of JP2008-292970A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     Among those, as the polymerizable compound, dipentaerythritol triacrylate (KAYARAD D-330 as a commercially available product; manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.), dipentaerythritol tetraacrylate (KAYARAD D-320 as a commercially available product; manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.), dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate (KAYARAD D-310 as a commercially available product; manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.), dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate (KAYARAD DPHA as a commercially available product; manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., A-DPH-12E; manufactured by Shin-Nakamura Kayaku Co., Ltd.), and a structure in which ethylene glycol or a propylene glycol residue is interposed between these (meth)acryloyl groups (for example, SR454 and SR499, manufactured by Sartomer Company Inc.) are preferable. Oligomer types of these can also be used. Preferred aspects of the polymerizable compound are shown below. 
     Polymerizable compounds may also have an acid group such as a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, and a phosphoric acid group as a polyfunctional monomer. If the polymerizable compound has an unreacted carboxyl group, this compound can be used as is, but if desired, a hydroxyl group of the polymerizable compound may be reacted with a non-aromatic carboxylic acid anhydride so as to introduce an acid group. In this case, specific examples of the non-aromatic carboxylic acid anhydride used include tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, alkylated tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, hexahydrophthalic acid anhydride, alkylated hexahydrophthalic acid anhydride, succinic acid anhydride, and maleic acid anhydride. 
     As a polymerizable compound having an acid group, an ester of an aliphatic polyhydroxy compound and an unsaturated carboxylic acid is preferable, and a polymerizable compound which is provided with an acid group by reacting an unreacted hydroxyl group of the aliphatic polyhydroxy compound with a non-aromatic carboxylic acid anhydride is also preferable. Further, it is particularly preferable that the aliphatic polyhydroxy compound in the ester is pentaerythritol and/or dipentaerythritol. Examples of commercially available products thereof include M-510 and M-520, which are polybasic acid-modified acryl oligomers manufactured by TOAGOSEI, CO., LTD. 
     The polymerizable compound having an acid group may be used alone, but since it is difficult to use a single compound in terms of production, a mixture of two or more kinds of monomers may also be used. 
     The acid value of the polymerizable compound having an acid group is preferably 0.1 mg KOH/g to 40 mg KOH/g, and particularly preferably 5 mg KOH/g to 30 mg KOH/g. If the acid value of the polyfunctional monomer is 0.1 mgKOH/g or more, the development solubility characteristics is good, and the acid value of 40 mgKOH/g or less is advantageous in terms of production. Further, the photopolymerization performance is good and curability such as surface smoothness of pixels is excellent. Therefore, in the case where a combination of two or more kinds of polymerizable compounds having different acid groups is used, or in the case where a combination of polymerizable compounds having no acid group is used, it is preferable that the acid group of all the polymerizable compound is adjusted to fall within the above range. 
     Moreover, in another preferred aspect, a polymerizable compound having a caprolactone structure is contained as such other polymerizable compound. 
     The polymerizable compound having a caprolactone structure is not particularly limited as long as it has a caprolactone structure within a molecule, and examples thereof include ε-caprolactone-modified polyfunctional (meth)acrylates which are obtained by esterifying polyhydric alcohols such as trimethylolethane, ditrimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, ditrimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, tripentaerythritol, glycerin, diglycerol, and trimethylolmelamine with (meth)acrylic acid and ε-caprolactone.

     The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably 30 mgKOH/g to 200 mgKOH/g, more preferably 50 mgKOH/g to 150 mgKOH/g, and particularly preferably 70 mgKOH/g to 120 mgKOH/g. 
     Furthermore, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably 2,000 to 50,000, more preferably 5,000 to 30,000, and particularly preferably 7,000 to 20,000. 
     In the case where the coloring composition contains an alkali-soluble resin, the content of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably 1 to 15% by mass, more preferably 2 to 12% by mass, and particularly preferably 3 to 10% by mass, with respect to the total solid contents of the coloring composition. 
     The composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of alkali-soluble resin. In the case where the composition includes two or more kinds of the alkali-soluble resin, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     &lt;&lt;Photopolymerization Initiator&gt;&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may further contain a photopolymerization initiator. 
     The photopolymerization initiator is not particularly limited as long as the photopolymerization initiator has a function of initiating polymerization of the polymerizable compound, and can be appropriately selected from known photopolymerization initiators. For example, photopolymerization initiators sensitive to light rays in a range from ultraviolet region to visible light are preferable. In addition, the photopolymerization initiator may be either an activator which interacts with a photo-excited sensitizer in any way and generates active radicals or an initiator which initiates cationic polymerization according to the type of monomer. 
     In addition, it is preferable that the photopolymerization initiator contains at least one kind of compound having at least a molar light absorption coefficient of about 50 in a range of about 300 nm to 800 nm (more preferably 330 nm to 500 nm). 
     Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include halogenated hydrocarbon derivatives (for example, a derivative having a triazine skeleton and a derivative having an oxadiazole skeleton), acyl phosphine compounds such as acyl phosphine oxide, biimidazole compounds, for example, hexaaryl biimidazole, oxime compounds such as oxime derivatives, organic peroxides, thio compounds, ketone compounds, aromatic onium salts, ketoxime ethers, aminoacetophenone compounds, and hydroxyacetophenone 
     Furthermore, from the viewpoint of exposure sensitivity, the photopolymerization initiator is more preferably a compound selected from the group consisting of a trihalomethyltriazine compound, a benzyldimethylketal compound, an α-aminoketone compound, an acylphosphine compound, a phosphine oxide compound, a metallocene compound, an oxime compound, a triarylimidazole dimer, an onium compound, a benzothiazole compound, a benzophenone compound, an acetophenone compound and derivatives thereof, a cyclopentadiene-benzene-iron complex and salts thereof, a halomethyloxadiazole compound, and a 3-aryl-substituted coumarin compound. 
     The photopolymerization initiator is more preferably a trihalomethyltriazine compound, an α-aminoketone compound, an acylphosphine compound, a phosphine oxide compound, an oxime compound, a triarylimidazole dimer, an onium compound, a benzophenone compound, or an acetophenone compound, and particularly preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a trihalomethyltriazine compound, an α-aminoketone compound, an oxime compound, a triarylimidazole dimer, or a benzophenone compound. 
     In particular, in the case where the coloring composition of the present invention is used for the manufacture of a color filter for a solid-state imaging device, a fine pattern needs to be formed in a sharp shape, and therefore, it is important that the coloring composition has curability and is developed without residues in an unexposed area. From this viewpoint, an oxime compound is particularly preferable as a photopolymerization initiator. In particular, in the case where a fine pattern is formed in the solid-state imaging device, stepper exposure is used for exposure for curing. However, the exposure machine used at this time is damaged by halogen in some cases, and thus, it is necessary to reduce the amount of a photopolymerization initiator added. In consideration of this point, in order to form a fine pattern as in a solid-state imaging device, it is particularly preferable to use an oxime compound. In addition, by using the oxime compound, color migration properties can be improved.

     As the photopolymerization initiator, a hydroxyacetophenone compound, an aminoacetophenone compound, and an acyl phosphine compound can also be suitably used. More specifically, for example, the aminoacetophenone-based initiator described in JP1998-291969A (JP-H10-291969A), and the acyl phosphine oxide-based initiator described in JP4225898B can also be used.

Moreover, as the acyl phosphine-based initiator, IRGACURE-819 or DAROCUR-TPO (trade name, both manufactured by BASF) which are commercially available products can be used.

Further, TR-PBG-304 (manufactured by Changzhou Tronly New Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.), or ADEKA ARKLS NCI-831 or ADEKA ARKLS NCI-930 (manufactured by ADEKA Corporation) can also be used.

     &lt;&lt;&lt;Organic Solvent&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may contain an organic solvent. 
     Basically, the organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the solubility of the respective components or the coatability of the coloring composition, but the organic solvent is preferably selected in consideration of the solubility, the coatability, and the safety of the colorant (A), the curable compound, or the like.

     From the viewpoint of coatability, the content of the solvent in the coloring composition is set such that the concentration of the total solid contents of the coloring composition preferably becomes 5 to 80% by mass, more preferably becomes 5 to 60% by mass, and particularly preferably becomes 10 to 50% by mass. 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of solvent. In the case where the composition includes two or more kinds of the solvents, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Crosslinking Agent&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may also contain a crosslinking agent. By incorporating the crosslinking agent, the hardness of a cured film thus obtained can be increased. 
     The crosslinking agent is not particularly limited as long as it can cure a film by a crosslinking reaction.

     For the details of specific examples of the crosslinking agent and the like, reference can be made to the descriptions of paragraphs 0134 to 0147 of JP2004-295116A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     In the case where the coloring composition of the present invention contains a crosslinking agent, the content of the crosslinking agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2 to 30% by mass, and more preferably 3 to 20% by mass, with respect to the total solid content of the composition. 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of the crosslinking agent. In the case where the coloring composition includes two or more kinds of the crosslinking agent, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Polymerization Inhibitor&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     It is preferable to add a small amount of a polymerization inhibitor to the coloring composition of the present invention in order to suppress the occurrence of unnecessary thermal polymerization of the polymerizable compound during production or storage of the coloring composition.

     In the case where the coloring composition of the present invention contains a polymerization inhibitor, the amount of the polymerization inhibitor added is preferably about 0.01 to about 5% by mass, with respect to the total mass of the coloring composition. 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of polymerization inhibitor. In the case where the composition includes two or more kinds of the polymerization inhibitor, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Surfactant&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     From the viewpoint of further improving coatability, various surfactants may be added to the coloring composition of the present invention. As the surfactants, it is possible to use various surfactants such as a fluorine-based surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, and a silicon-based surfactant. 
     In particular, if the coloring composition of the present invention contains a fluorine-based surfactant, liquid characteristics (particularly fluidity) are further improved when the composition is prepared as a coating liquid, whereby evenness of the coating thickness or liquid saving properties can be further improved. 
     That is, in the case where a coating liquid obtained by applying the coloring composition containing a fluorine-based surfactant is used to form a film, the surface tension between a surface to be coated and the coating liquid is reduced to improve wettability with respect to the surface to be coated, and enhance coatability with respect to the surface to be coated. Therefore, even in the case where a thin film of about several μm is formed of a small amount of liquid, the coloring composition containing a fluorine-based surfactant is effective in that a film with a uniform thickness which exhibits a small extent of thickness unevenness can be more suitably formed. 
     The fluorine content in the fluorine-based surfactant is preferably 3 to 40% by mass, more preferably 5 to 30% by mass, and particularly preferably 7 to 25% by mass. The fluorine-based surfactant in which the fluorine content is within this range is effective in terms of the uniformity of the thickness of the coating film or liquid saving properties, and the solubility of the surfactant in the coloring composition is also good. 
     Examples of the fluorine-based surfactant include MEGAFACE F171, MEGAFACE F172, MEGAFACE F173, MEGAFACE F176, MEGAFACE F177, MEGAFACE F141, MEGAFACE F142, MEGAFACE F143, MEGAFACE F144, MEGAFACE R30, MEGAFACE F437, MEGAFACE F475, MEGAFACE F479, MEGAFACE F482, MEGAFACE F554, MEGAFACE F780, and MEGAFACE F781 (all manufactured by DIC Corporation); FLUORAD FC430, FLUORAD FC431, and FLUORAD FC171 (all manufactured by Sumitomo 3M); SURFLON S-382, SURFLON SC-101, SURFLON SC-103, SURFLON SC-104, SURFLON SC-105, SURFLON SC1068, SURFLON SC-381, SURFLON SC-383, SURFLON SC-393, and SURFLON KH-40 (all manufactured by ASAHI GLASS Co., Ltd.); and PF636, PF656, PF6320, PF6520, and PF7002 (manufactured by OMNOVA).

     The composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of surfactant. In the case where the composition includes two or more kinds of the surfactant, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Organic Carboxylic Acid and Organic Carboxylic Acid Anhydride&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention may contain an organic carboxylic acid having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less, and/or an organic carboxylic acid anhydride. For specific examples of the organic carboxylic acid and the organic carboxylic acid anhydride, reference can be made to, for example, paragraphs 0338 to 0340 of JP2013-29760A, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     If the coloring composition of the present invention contains an organic carboxylic acid or an organic carboxylic acid anhydride, the amount of the organic carboxylic acids and/or the organic carboxylic acid anhydrides added is generally in a range of 0.01 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.03 to 5% by weight, and more preferably 0.05 to 3% by weight in the total solid contents. 
     The composition of the present invention may include one kind or two or more kinds of each of an organic carboxylic acid and/or an organic carboxylic acid anhydride. In the case where the composition includes two or more kinds of the organic carboxylic acid and/or the organic carboxylic acid anhydride, the total amount thereof is preferably within the range. 
     If desired, various additives such as a filler, an adhesion promoting agent, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorbent, and an anti-aggregation agent may be blended into the coloring composition. Examples of these additives include those described in paragraphs 0155 and 0156 of JP2004-295116A, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
     The coloring composition of the present invention can contain the sensitizer or the light stabilizer described in paragraph 0078 of JP2004-295116A, and the thermal polymerization inhibitor described in paragraph 0081 of JP2004-295116A. 
     In the case where a metal element is included in the coloring composition according to raw materials and the like, from the viewpoint of suppression of generation of defects, the content of Group 2 elements (calcium, magnesium, and the like) in the coloring composition is preferably 50 ppm or less, and preferably controlled to 0.01 to 10 ppm. Further, the total amount of the inorganic metal salts in the coloring composition is preferably 100 ppm or less, and preferably controlled to 0.5 to 50 ppm. 
     &lt;Method for Preparing Coloring Composition&gt; 
     The coloring composition of the present invention is prepared by mixing the aforementioned components. 
     Furthermore, when the coloring composition is prepared, the respective components constituting the coloring composition may be mixed together at the same time or mixed together sequentially after being dissolved and dispersed in a solvent. Further, the order of adding the components and the operation conditions during the mixing are not particularly restricted. For example, all the components may be dissolved and dispersed in a solvent at the same time to prepare the composition. Alternatively, if desired, the respective components may be appropriately prepared as two or more solutions or dispersion liquids and mixed at the time of use (at the time of coating) to prepare the composition. 
     It is preferable that the coloring composition of the present invention is filtered using a filter for the purpose of removing impurities or reducing deficit, for example. Filters that have been used in the related art for filtration use and the like may be used without particular limitation. Examples thereof include filters formed of a fluorine resin such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a polyamide-based resin such as Nylon-6 and Nylon-6,6, and a polyhydric alcoholefin resin (including a high density and a ultrahigh molecular weight) such as polyethylene and polypropylene (PP). Among these materials, polypropylene (including high density polypropylene) is preferable. 
     The pore diameter of the filter is suitably approximately 0.01 to 7.0 μm, preferably approximately 0.01 to 3.0 μm, and more preferably approximately 0.05 to 0.5 μm. By setting the pore diameter to this range, it is possible to reliably remove fine impurities which interfere with preparation of a uniform and smooth coloring composition in a subsequent step. 
     When a filter is used, other filters may be used in combination therewith. At that time, filtering at a first filter may be performed only once or two or more times. 
     In addition, first filters having different pore diameters within the aforementioned range may be combined. As the pore diameter herein, a reference may be made to nominal values of a filter maker. A commercially available filter may be selected from various filters provided by, for example, Pall Corporation, Advantec Toyo Kaisha, Ltd., Nihon Entegris K.K. (former Nippon Microlith Co., Ltd.), Kitz Micro Filter Corporation, or the like. 
     As a second filter, a filter formed of a material which is the same as the material for the aforementioned first filter and the like can be used. 
     For example, the filtering at the first filter may be performed with only the dispersion liquid, and the other components may be mixed and then the filtering of the second filter may be performed. 
     Since the coloring composition of the present invention can form a cured film having good light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness, it is suitably used for forming a colored layer of a color filter. Further, the coloring composition of the present invention can be suitably used for forming a colored pattern of a color filter or the like in a solid-state imaging device (for example, a CCD and a CMOS), an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device (LCD), an electroluminescent element (organic EL), or the like. In addition, the coloring composition can also be suitably used in applications of the manufacture of a print ink, an ink jet ink, a coating material, or the like. Among these, the coloring composition can be suitably used for the manufacture of a color filter for a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD and a CMOS. 
     &lt;Cured Film, Color Filter, and Method for Manufacturing Color Filter&gt; 
     Next, the cured film and the color filter in the present invention will be described in detail by an explanation of production methods thereof. 
     The cured film of the present invention is formed by curing the coloring composition of the present invention. Such a cured film is preferably used in a color filter. 
     A first aspect of the method for manufacturing a color filter of the present invention includes a step of applying the coloring composition of the present invention onto a support to form a coloring composition layer, a step of patternwise exposing the coloring composition layer, and a step of removing an unexposed area by development to form a colored pattern. In addition, the method may include a step of baking the coloring composition layer (prebaking step) and a step of baking the developed colored pattern (postbaking step), as desired. Hereinafter, these steps may be referred to as a pattern forming step in some cases. 
     Furthermore, a second aspect of the method for manufacturing a color filter of the present invention includes a step of applying the coloring composition of the present invention onto a support to form a coloring composition layer, followed by curing, to form a colored layer, a step of forming a photoresist layer on the colored layer, a step of patterning the photoresist layer by carrying out exposure and development to obtain a resist pattern, and a step of dry-etching the colored layer using the resist pattern as an etching mask. 
     The color filter of the present invention can be suitably obtained by the manufacturing method. Hereinafter, details of these will be described. 
     &lt;&lt;Coloring Composition Layer Forming Step&gt;&gt; 
     In the coloring composition layer forming step, the coloring composition of the present invention is applied onto a support to form a coloring composition layer. 
     Examples of the support include transparent substrates of glass, silicone, polycarbonic acid, polyester, aromatic polyamide, polyamideimide, polyimide, and the like. A thin film transistor may be formed on the transparent substrate for driving an organic EL element. 
     Furthermore, it is possible to use a substrate for a solid-state imaging device in which an imaging device (light-receiving element) such as a charge coupled device (CCD) and a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) onto a substrate (for example, a silicon substrate). 
     The colored pattern in the present invention may be formed on the surface (front surface) on which an imaging device is formed or on the surface (back surface) where an imaging device is not formed, of a substrate for a solid-state imaging device. 
     A light shielding film may be provided between the colored pattern in a solid-state imaging device or onto the back surface of the substrate for a solid-state imaging device. 
     In addition, if desired, an undercoat layer may be provided onto the support in order to improve adhesiveness between the support and the upper layer, prevent diffusion of substances, or planarize the substrate surface. 
     As the method for applying the coloring composition of the present invention onto the support, various coating methods such as slit coating, an ink jet method, spin coating, cast coating, roll coating, and a screen printing method can be applied. 
     Drying (prebaking) of the coloring composition layer applied onto the support can be carried out at a temperature of 50° C. to 140° C. for 10 seconds to 300 seconds, using a hot plate, an oven, or the like. 
     Moreover, heating of the coloring composition layer is carried out at preferably 120° C. or lower, more preferably 50° C. to 120° C., still more preferably 80° C. to 110° C., and particularly preferably 90° C. to 105° C. By carrying out heating at 120° C. or lower, characteristics can be more effectively maintained in the case of using an organic EL element as a light-emitting light source of an image display device or in the case of a configuration in which a photo-electric conversion film of an image sensor is formed of organic materials. The heating time in this case is preferably 10 seconds to 300 seconds, more preferably 40 seconds to 250 seconds, and still more preferably 80 seconds to 220 seconds. 
     &lt;&lt;Pattern Forming Step by Photolithography Method&gt;&gt; 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Exposing Step&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     In the exposing step, the coloring composition layer formed in the coloring composition layer forming step is patternwise exposed through a mask having a predetermined mask pattern by using, for example, an exposure device such as a stepper. Thus, a cured film is obtained. 
     As radiation (light) that can be used upon exposure, in particular, ultraviolet rays such as a g-line and an i-line are preferably used (an i-line is particularly preferably used). The irradiation dose (exposure dose) is preferably 30 mJ/cm 2  to 1,500 mJ/cm 2 , more preferably 50 mJ/cm 2  to 1,000 mJ/cm 2 , and particularly preferably 80 mJ/cm 2  to 500 mJ/cm 2 . 
     The film thickness of the cured film is preferably 1.0 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm to 0.9 μm, and still more preferably 0.2 μm to 0.8 μm. 
     It is preferable to set the film thickness to 1.0 μm or less since a high degree of resolution and adhesiveness are obtained. 
     Moreover, in this step, a cured film having a small film thickness of 0.7 μm or less can be suitably formed. Further, if the obtained cured film is subjected to a development process in a pattern forming step which will be described later, it is possible to obtain a thin film having a colored pattern which exhibits excellent developability and reduced surface roughness and has an excellent pattern shape. 
     &lt;&lt;&lt;Pattern Forming Step&gt;&gt;&gt; 
     Next, by carrying out an alkaline developing treatment, the coloring composition layer in an area not irradiated with light in the exposing step is eluted into an aqueous alkaline solution, and as a result, only a photocured area remains. 
     As a developing liquid, an organic alkaline developing liquid not damaging an imaging device, a circuit, or the like in an underlayer is preferable. The development temperature is usually from 20° C. to 30° C., and the development time is 20 seconds to 90 seconds in the related art. In order to further remove residues, development is recently carried out for 120 seconds to 180 seconds in some cases. Further, in order to improve residue removal properties, a step of sufficiently shaking the developing liquid every 60 seconds and newly supplying a developing liquid is repeated plural times in some cases. 
     Examples of an alkaline agent used for the developing liquid include organic alkaline compounds such as aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethyl ethanolamine, tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide, tetrapropyl ammonium hydroxide, tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide, benzyltrimethyl ammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-7-undecene. An aqueous alkaline solution obtained by diluting these alkaline agents with pure water so as to yield a concentration of the alkaline agent of 0.001% by mass to 10% by mass, and preferably 0.01% by mass to 1% by mass is preferably used as the developing liquid. 
     Incidentally, inorganic alkali may be used for the developing liquid, and as the inorganic alkali, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, and the like are preferable. 
     Furthermore, in the case where a developing liquid formed of such an aqueous alkaline solution is used, the pattern is generally cleaned (rinsed) with pure water after development. 
     Next, it is preferable to carry out a heating treatment (postbaking) after carrying out the drying. If a multi-colored pattern is formed, the above steps can be sequentially repeated for each color to produce a cured coat. Thus, a color filter is obtained. 
     The postbaking is a heating treatment performed after development so as to complete curing, and in the postbaking, a thermal curing treatment is carried out usually at 100° C. to 240° C., and preferably at 200° C. to 240° C. 
     The postbaking treatment can be carried out on the coating film obtained after development in a continuous or batch manner, by using heating means such as a hot plate, a convection oven (a hot-air circulation type drier), and a high-frequency heater under the conditions described above. 
     Incidentally, in the case of using an organic EL element as a light-emitting light source of an image display device or in the case of a configuration in which a photo-electric conversion film of an image sensor is formed of organic materials, the postbaking treatment is preferably carried out at 50° C. to 120° C. (more preferably carried out at 80° C. to 100° C., and still more preferably carried out 80° C. to 90° C.). 
     &lt;&lt;Case of Forming Pattern by Dry Etching Method&gt;&gt; 
     With the colored layer, the dry etching can be carried out with an etching gas, using a patterned photoresist layer as a mask. Specifically, a positive-type or negative-type radiation-sensitive composition is applied onto the colored layer and dried to from a photoresist layer. In the formation of the photoresist layer, it is preferable to further carry out a pre-bake treatment. In particular, as a process for forming a photoresist, a configuration in which a post-exposure heating treatment (PEB) or a post-development heating treatment (postbaking treatment) is carried out is preferable. 
     As the photoresist, for example, a positive-type radiation-sensitive composition is used. As the positive-type radiation-sensitive composition, a positive-type resist composition suitable for a positive-type photoresist, which responds to radiation, for example, an ultraviolet ray (a g-ray, an h-ray, or an i-ray), a far ultraviolet ray including an excimer laser and the like, an electron beam, an ion beam, or an X-ray, is used. Among the radiations, a g-ray, an h-ray, or an i-ray is preferable, among which the i-ray is more preferable for the exposure. 
     Specifically, as the positive-type radiation-sensitive composition, a composition containing a quinonediazide compound and an alkali-soluble resin is preferable. The positive-type radiation-sensitive composition containing a quinonediazide compound and an alkali-soluble resin utilizes that a quinonediazide group is decomposed into a carboxyl group by light irradiation at a wavelength of 500 nm or less and as a result, the quinonediazide compound is shifted from an alkali-insoluble state to an alkali-soluble state. Since this positive-type photoresist is remarkably excellent in the resolving power, it is used for the manufacture of an integrated circuit such as an IC and an LSI. Examples of the quinonediazide compound include a naphthoquinonediazide compound. Examples of commercially available products thereof include “FHi622BC” (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronics Materials Co., Ltd.). 
     The thickness of the photoresist layer is preferably from 0.1 to 3 μm, more preferably from 0.2 to 2.5 μm, and still more preferably from 0.3 to 2 μm. Incidentally, coating of the photoresist layer can be suitably carried out using the coating method described with respect to the above-described colored layer. 
     Next, a resist pattern (patterned photoresist layer) in which a resist through-hole group is disposed is formed by exposing and developing the photoresist layer. The formation of the resist pattern can be carried out by appropriately optimizing heretofore known techniques of photolithography without particular limitation. By providing the resist through-hole group in the photoresist layer by carrying out exposure and development, the resist pattern which is used as an etching mask in the subsequent etching is provided on the colored layer. 
     Exposure of the photoresist layer can be carried out by exposing a positive-type or negative-type radiation-sensitive composition to a g-ray, an h-ray, or an i-ray, and preferably to an i-ray through a predetermined mask pattern. After the exposure, a development treatment is carried out using a developing liquid to remove the photoresist corresponding to the region where a colored pattern is to be formed. 
     As the developing liquid, any developing liquid which does not affect a colored layer containing a coloring agent and dissolves the exposed area of a positive resist or the uncured area of a negative resist may be used, and for example, a combination of various organic solvents or an aqueous alkaline solution is used. As the aqueous alkaline solution, an aqueous alkaline solution prepared by dissolving an alkaline compound to yield a concentration of 0.001 to 10% by mass, and preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass is suitable. Examples of the alkaline compound include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene. Incidentally, in the case where an aqueous alkaline solution is used as the developing liquid, a cleaning treatment with water is generally carried out after development. 
     Next, the colored layer is patterned by dry etching so as to form a through-hole group in the colored layer using the resist pattern as an etching mask. Thus, a colored pattern is formed. The through-hole group is provided checkerwise in the colored layer. Accordingly, a first colored pattern having the through-hole group provided in the colored layer has a plurality of first quadrangular colored pixels checkerwise. 
     It is preferable that the dry etching is carried out in a configuration as described below from the viewpoint of forming a pattern cross-section closer to that of a rectangle or of further reducing damage to a support. 
     A configuration is preferable, which includes a first-stage etching of etching up to an area (depth) where the support is not revealed by using a mixed gas of a fluorine-based gas and a oxygen gas (O 2 ), a second-stage etching of preferably etching up to the vicinity of an area (depth) where the support is revealed by using a mixed gas of a nitrogen gas (N 2 ) and an oxygen gas (O 2 ) after the first-stage etching; and an over-etching carried out after the support has been revealed. A specific manner of the dry etching as well as the first-stage etching, the second-stage etching, and the over-etching will be described below. 
     The dry etching is carried out according to etching conditions preliminarily determined by the following techniques. 
     (1) The etching rate (nm/min) in the etching of the first step, and the etching rate (nm/min) in the etching of the second step are respectively estimated. 
     (2) The time required for etching a desired thickness in the etching of the first step, and the time required for etching a desired thickness in the etching of the second step are respectively estimated. 
     (3) The etching of the first step is carried out according to the etching time estimated in (2). 
     (4) The etching of the second step is carried out according to the etching time estimated in (2). Alternatively, the etching time may be determined by endpoint detection, and the etching of the second step may be carried out according to the determined etching time. 
     (5) The over-etching time is estimated based on the total time of (3) and (4), based on which the over-etching is carried out. 
     The mixed gas used in the first-stage etching step preferably contains a fluorine-based gas and an oxygen gas (O 2 ) from the viewpoint of processing an organic material of the film to be etched into a rectangle shape. The first-stage etching step may avoid damage to the support by adopting the configuration of etching up to an area where the support is not revealed. After the etching is carried out up to an area where the support is not revealed by the mixed gas of a fluorine-based gas and an oxygen gas in the first-stage etching step, etching treatment in the second-stage etching step and etching treatment in the over-etching step are preferably carried out by using the mixed gas of a nitrogen gas and an oxygen gas from the viewpoint of avoiding damage to the support. 
     It is important that a ratio between the etching amount in the first-stage etching step and the etching amount in the second-stage etching step is determined so as not to deteriorate the linearity by the etching treatment in the first-stage etching step. The ratio of the etching amount in the second-stage etching step in the total etching amount (the sum of the etching amount in the first-stage etching step and the etching amount in the second-stage etching step) is preferably in a range of more than 0% and 50% or less, and more preferably from 10% to 20%. The etching amount means an amount determined by a difference between the remaining film thickness of the film etched and the film thickness of the film before the etching. 
     Furthermore, the etching preferably includes an over-etching treatment. The over-etching treatment is preferably carried out by determining an over-etching rate. The over-etching rate is preferably calculated from an etching treatment time which is carried out at first. Although the over-etching rate may be arbitrarily determined, it is preferably 30% or less, more preferably 5% to 25%, and particularly preferably 10% to 15%, of the etching processing time in the etching steps from the viewpoint of etching resistance of the photoresist and preservation of the linearity of the etched pattern. 
     Next, the resist pattern (that is, the etching mask) remaining after the etching is removed. The removal of the resist pattern preferably includes a step of supplying a stripping solution or a solvent on the resist pattern to make the resist pattern be in a removable state, and a step of removing the resist pattern using cleaning water. 
     The step of supplying a stripping solution or a solvent on the resist pattern to make the resist pattern be in a removable state includes, for example, a step of puddle development by supplying a stripping solution or a solvent at least on the resist pattern and retaining for a predetermined time. The time for retaining the stripping solution or a solvent is not particularly limited, but is preferably from several tens of seconds to several minutes. 
     Moreover, the step of removing the resist pattern using cleaning water includes, for example, a step of removing the resist pattern by spraying cleaning water from a spray-type or shower-type spray nozzles onto the resist pattern. As the cleaning water, pure water is preferably used. The spray nozzles include a spray nozzles having a spray area which covers the entire support and mobile spray nozzles having a mobile area which covers the entire support. In the case where the spray nozzles are mobile spray nozzles, the resist pattern can be more effectively removed by moving the mobile spray nozzles twice or more from the center of support to the edge of the support to spray cleaning water in the step of removing the resist pattern. 
     The stripping solution generally contains an organic solvent and may further contain an inorganic solvent. Examples of the organic solvent include 1) a hydrocarbon-based compound, 2) a halogenated hydrocarbon-based compound, 3) an alcohol-based compound, 4) an ether- or acetal-based compound, 5) a ketone- or aldehyde-based compound, 6) an ester-based compound, 7) a polyhydric alcohol-based compound, 8) a carboxylic acid- or its acid anhydride-based compound, 9) a phenol-based compound, 10) a nitrogen-containing compound, 11) a sulfur-containing compound, and 12) a fluorine-containing compound. The stripping solution preferably contains a nitrogen-containing compound, and more preferably contains an acyclic nitrogen-containing compound and a cyclic nitrogen-containing compound. 
     The acyclic nitrogen-containing compound is preferably an acyclic nitrogen-containing compound having a hydroxyl group. Specific examples thereof include monoisopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, N-ethylethanolamine, N,N-dibutylethanolamine, N-butylethanolamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, among which monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine are preferable, and monoethanolamine (H 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OH) is more preferable. Further, examples of the cyclic nitrogen-containing compound include isoquinoline, imidazole, N-ethylmorpholine, ε-caprolactam, quinoline, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, α-picoline, β-picoline, γ-picoline, 2-pipecoline, 3-pipecoline, 4-pipecoline, piperazine, piperidine, pyrazine, pyridine, pyrrolidine, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-phenyl morpholine, 2,4-lutidine, and 2,6-lutidine, among which N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and N-ethylmorpholine are preferable, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is more preferable. 
     The stripping solution preferably contains both the acyclic nitrogen-containing compound and the cyclic nitrogen-containing compound, more preferably contains at least one selected from monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, or triethanolamine as the acyclic nitrogen-containing compound, and at least one selected from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone or N-ethylmorpholine as the cyclic nitrogen-containing compound, and still more preferably contains monoethanolamine and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. 
     In the case of the removal with a stripping solution, it is sufficient that the resist pattern formed on the first colored pattern is removed, and in a case where a deposit of an etching product is attached to the side wall of the first colored pattern, it is not always necessary to completely remove the deposit. The deposit means an etching product attached and deposited to the side wall of colored layer. 
     For the stripping solution, it is preferable that the content of the acyclic nitrogen-containing compound is from 9 parts by mass to 11 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the stripping solution, and the content of the cyclic nitrogen-containing compound is from 65 parts by mass to 70 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the stripping solution. The stripping solution is preferably one prepared by diluting a mixture of the acyclic nitrogen-containing compound and the cyclic nitrogen-containing compound with pure water. 
     If desired, the method for manufacturing a color filter of the present invention may include, as a step other than the above steps, a step known as a method for producing a color filter for a solid-state imaging device. For example, in the production method, if desired, a curing step of curing the formed colored pattern by heating and/or exposure may be carried out after the coloring composition layer forming step, the exposing step, and the pattern forming step are carried out. 
     Furthermore, in the case where the coloring composition according to the present invention is used, for example, a nozzle of an ejection portion or a piping portion of a coating device is clogged, or the coloring composition or a pigment adheres to or is precipitated or dried inside the coating machine, and as a result, contamination and the like occur in some cases. Therefore, in order to efficiently clean off the contamination caused by the coloring composition of the present invention, it is preferable to use the aforementioned solvent relating to the present composition as a cleaning liquid. In addition, the cleaning liquids described in JP1995-128867A (JP-H07-128867A), JP1995-146562A (JP-H07-146562A), JP1996-278637A (JP-H08-278637A), JP2000-273370A, JP2006-85140A, JP2006-291191A, JP2007-2101A, JP2007-2102A, JP2007-281523A, and the like can also be suitably used to clean and remove the coloring composition according to the present invention. 
     Among the above, alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether carboxylate and alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether are preferable. 
     These solvents may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. In the case where two or more kinds thereof are mixed, it is preferable to mix a solvent having a hydroxyl group with a solvent not having a hydroxyl group. The mass ratio between the solvent having a hydroxyl group and the solvent not having a hydroxyl group is 1/99 to 99/1, preferably 10/90 to 90/10, and still more preferably 20/80 to 80/20. A mixed solvent in which propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) is mixed with propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) at a ratio of 60/40 is particularly preferable. Incidentally, in order to improve the permeability of the cleaning liquid with respect to the contaminant, it is preferable to add the aforementioned surfactants relating to the coloring composition of the present invention to the cleaning liquid. 
     Since the color filter of the present invention uses the coloring composition of the present invention, light fastness, color migration properties, and flatness are excellent. 
     The color filter of the present invention can be suitably used for a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD and a CMOS, and is particularly preferable for a CCD, a CMOS, and the like with a high resolution, having more than 1,000,000 pixels. The color filter for a solid-state imaging device of the present invention can be used as, for example, a color filter disposed between a light-receiving portion of each pixel constituting a CCD or a CMOS and a microlens for condensing light. 
     Furthermore, the color filter of the present invention can be preferably used for an organic EL element. As the organic EL element, a white organic EL element is preferable. The organic EL element preferably has a tandem structure. The tandem structure of the organic EL element is described in JP2003-45676A, “Forefront of Organic EL Technology Development—Know-How Collection of High Brightness/High Precision/Long Life—,” reviewed by Mikami Akiyoshi, Technical Information Institute, pp. 326-328, 2008, and the like. Examples of the tandem structure of the organic EL element include a structure in which an organic EL layer is provided between a lower electrode with light reflectivity and an upper electrode with light transmission on one side of a substrate. The lower electrode is preferably configured with a material having a sufficient reflection rate in a visible light wavelength region. The organic EL layer preferably has laminate layer structure (tandem structure) including a plurality of light emitting layers, with the light emitting layers laminated. The plurality of light emitting layers of the organic EL layer can include, for example, a red light emitting layer, a green light emitting layer, and a blue light emitting layer. Further, the organic EL layer preferably has a plurality of light emitting auxiliary layers for light emission of the light emitting layers, in addition with the plurality of light emitting layers. The organic EL layer can have, for example, a lamination structure in which a light emitting layer and a light-emitting auxiliary layer are alternately laminated. An organic EL element having an organic EL layer such a structure can emit white light. In this case, it is preferable that a spectrum of white light which the organic EL element emits has strong maximum light emitting peaks at a blue region (430 nm to 485 nm), a green region (530 nm to 580 nm), and a yellow region (580 nm to 620 nm). It is more preferable that the spectrum additionally has a strong maximum light emitting peak at a red region (650 nm to 700 nm), in addition the light emitting peaks. By combining an organic EL element (white organic EL element) that emits white light with the color filter of the present invention, an excellent spectrum in terms of color reproducibility is obtained, and thus, a clear image or image can be displayed. 
     The film thickness of the colored pattern (colored pixel) in the color filter of the present invention is preferably 2.0 μm or less, more preferably 1.0 μm or less, and still more preferably 0.7 μm or less. 
     Moreover, the size (pattern width) of the colored pattern (colored pixel) is preferably 2.5 μm or less, more preferably 2.0 μm or less, and particularly preferably 1.7 μm or less. 
     &lt;Solid-State Imaging Device&gt; 
     The solid-state imaging device of the present invention includes the color filter of the present invention. The constitution of the solid-state imaging device of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the solid-state imaging device is constituted to include the color filter in the present invention and functions as a solid-state imaging device. However, for example, the solid-state imaging device can be configured as below. 
     The solid-state imaging device has a configuration which has a plurality of photodiodes constituting a light-receiving area of a solid-state imaging device (a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, or the like) and a transfer electrode formed of polysilicon or the like, on a support; a light shielding film formed of tungsten or the like onto the photodiodes and the transfer electrodes, which has openings only over the light-receiving portion of the photodiode; a device protecting film formed of silicon nitride or the like, which is formed to cover the entire surface of the light shielding film and the light receiving portion of the photodiodes, on the light shielding film; and the color filter for a solid-state imaging device of the present invention on the device protecting film. 
     In addition, the solid-state imaging device may have a configuration in which a light-collecting means (for example, a micro lens or the like, the same applies hereinafter) is disposed on the device protecting film and under the color filter (side a side closer to the support), a configuration in which a light-condensing means is disposed on the color filter, and the like. 
     &lt;Image Display Device&gt; 
     The color filter of the present invention can be used not only for a solid-state imaging device, but also for an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device and an organic EL display device. In particular, the color filter is suitable in the applications of a liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device including the color filter of the present invention can display a high-quality image showing a good hue of a display image and having excellent display characteristics. 
     The definition of display devices or details of the respective display devices are described in, for example, “Electronic Display Device (Akio Sasaki, Kogyo Chosakai Publishing Co., Ltd., published in 1990)”, “Display Device (Sumiaki Ibuki, Sangyo Tosho Co., Ltd.), and the like. In addition, the liquid crystal display device is described in, for example, “Liquid Crystal Display Technology for Next Generation (edited by Tatsuo Uchida, Kogyo Chosakai Publishing Co., Ltd., published in 1994)”. The liquid crystal display device to which the present invention can be applied is not particularly limited, and for example, the present invention can be applied to liquid crystal display devices employing various systems described in the “Liquid Crystal Display Technology for Next Generation”. 
     The color filter of the present invention may be used for a liquid crystal display device using a color TFT system. The liquid crystal display device using a color TFT system is described in, for example, “Color TFT Liquid Crystal Display (KYORITSU SHUPPAN Co., Ltd., published in 1996)”. Further, the present invention can be applied to a liquid crystal display device having an enlarged view angle, which uses an in-plane switching driving system such as IPS and a pixel division system such as MVA, or to STN, TN, VA, OCS, FFS, R-OCB, and the like. 
     In addition, the color filter in the present invention can also be used in a Color-filter On Array (COA) system which is a bright and high-definition system. In the liquid crystal display device of the COA system, the characteristics required for a color filter layer need to include characteristics required for an interlayer insulating film, that is, a low dielectric constant and resistance to a stripping solution in some cases, in addition to the generally required characteristics as described above. In the color filter of the present invention, since a colorant having an excellent hue is used, the color purity, the light-transmitting properties, and the like are excellent, and the tone of the colored pattern (pixel) is excellent. Accordingly, a liquid crystal display device of a COA system which has a high resolution and excellent long-term durability can be provided. Further, in order to satisfy the characteristics required for a low dielectric constant, a resin coat may be provided on the color filter layer. 
     These image display systems are described in, for example, p. 43 of “EL, PDP, and LCD Display Technologies and Recent Trend in Market (TORAY RESEARCH CENTER, Research Department, published in 2001)”, and the like. 
     The liquid crystal display device including the color filter in the present invention is constituted with various members such as an electrode substrate, a polarizing film, a phase difference film, a backlight, a spacer, and a view angle compensation film, in addition to the color filter of the present invention. The color filter of the present invention can be applied to a liquid crystal display device constituted with these known members. These members are described in, for example, “94 Market of Peripheral Materials And Chemicals of Liquid Crystal Display (Kentaro Shima, CMC Publishing Co., Ltd., published in 1994)” and “2003 Current Situation of Market Relating to Liquid Crystal and Prospects (Vol. 2) (Ryokichi Omote, Fuji Chimera Research Institute, Inc., published in 2003)”. 
     The backlight is described in SID Meeting Digest 1380 (2005) (A. Konno, et al.), December Issue of Monthly “Display”, 2005, pp. 18-24 (Yasuhiro Shima) and pp. 25-30 (Takaaki Yagi) of the documents, and the like. 
     If the color filter in the present invention is used in a liquid crystal display device, high contrast can be realized when the color filter is combined with a three-wavelength tube of a cold cathode tube known in the related art. In addition, if a diode light source in red, green, and blue (RGB-LED) is used as a backlight, a liquid crystal display device having high luminance, high color purity, and good color reproducibility can be provided.

     Synthesis Example C-1 
     A mixed solution of 5.0 parts of the chain transfer agent B-1 obtained in Synthesis Example B-1, 0.96 parts of methacrylic acid (MAA), and 9.0 parts of cyclohexanone was heated at 80° C. in a nitrogen stream. 0.077 parts of dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(isobutyrate) [V-601; manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.] was added thereto, and then the mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. Further, after the addition of 0.077 parts of V-601, the mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours, and further heated and stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 303 parts of cyclohexanone, 0.14 parts of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), and 0.79 parts of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) were added thereto, and then the mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 18 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was added dropwise to a mixed solvent of 250 parts of hexane and 250 parts of ethyl acetate, and the mixture was reprecipitated to obtain a colorant (C-1) according to the present invention, shown below. The weight-average molecular weight (value in terms of polystyrene) of C-1 was 11,600, and the acid value from titration using a 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was 46 mgKOH/g. Further, the molar ratio of the colorant structure/MAA/adducts of MAA and GMA from NMR was 5/6/6, and the repetition number of the P moieties was calculated to be 12 on average. In addition, a solution including 0.01 mg/ml of the colorant (C-1) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was prepared (at a concentration controlled such that the maximum absorbance became 1.0), and the absorbance of the solution at 25° C. was measured using a 1-cm cell having an optical path length of 1 cm. As a result, the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 615 nm and the specific absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 60.

     Synthesis Example C-45 
     A mixed solution of 5.0 parts of the chain transfer agent B-1 obtained in Synthesis Example B-1, 0.96 parts of methacrylic acid (MAA), and 9.0 parts of cyclohexanone was heated at 80° C. in a nitrogen stream. 0.077 parts of dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(isobutyrate) [V-601; manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.] was added thereto, and then the mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. Further, after the addition of 0.077 parts of V-601, the mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours, and further heated and stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was added dropwise to a mixed solvent of 250 parts of hexane and 250 parts of ethyl acetate, and the mixture was reprecipitated to obtain a colorant (C-45) according to the present invention, shown below. The weight-average molecular weight (value in terms of polystyrene) of C-45 was 10,200, and the acid value from titration using a 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was 105 mgKOH/g. Further, the molar ratio of adducts of the colorant structure/MAA from NMR was 5/12, and the repetition number of the P moieties was calculated to be 12 on average. In addition, a solution including 0.01 mg/ml of the colorant (C-45) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was prepared (at a concentration controlled such that the maximum absorbance became 1.0), and the absorbance of the solution at 25° C. was measured using a 1-cm cell having an optical path length of 1 cm. As a result, the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 615 nm and the specific absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 60. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Synthesis Examples C-46 and 47 
     In the same manner as in Synthesis Example C-45 except that the chain transfer agent, the amount of the monomers, and the amount of V-601 were changed as shown in the following Table 2, colorants C-46 to C-47 of the present invention were obtained. 
     Synthesis Example C-48 
     A mixed solution of 5.0 parts of the chain transfer agent B-35 obtained in Synthesis Example B-35, 0.74 parts of methacrylic acid (MAA), 1.81 parts of ethylene glycol mono-2-bromoisobutyrate monomethacrylate (0-7), and 9.0 parts of cyclohexanone was heated at 90° C. in a nitrogen stream. 0.105 parts of dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(isobutyrate) [V-601; manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.] was added thereto, and then the mixture was heated and stirred at 90° C. for 1.5 hours. Further, after the addition of 0.105 parts of V-601, the mixture was heated and stirred at 90° C. for 1.5 hours, 0.105 parts of V-601 was added thereto, and the mixture was heated and stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, 10.0 parts of diazabicycloundecene (DBU) was slowly added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. Thereafter, the mixture was cooled to 5° C. or lower in an ice bath, and 6.3 parts of methanesulfonic acid was slowly added thereto. After the reaction, the reaction solution was added dropwise to a mixed solvent of 250 parts of 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was reprecipitated and filtered. The obtained solid was put into 250 parts of acetonitrile, suspended, and washed, and filtered again to obtain a colorant (C-49) according to the present invention. The weight-average molecular weight (value in terms of polystyrene) of C-49 was 10,400, and the acid value from titration using a 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was 69 mgKOH/g. Further, the molar ratio of adducts of the colorant structure/MAA/O-7 from NMR was 4/8/6, and the repetition number of the P moieties was calculated to be 7 on average. In addition, a solution including 0.01 mg/ml of the colorant (C-48) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was prepared (at a concentration controlled such that the maximum absorbance became 1.0), and the absorbance of the solution at 25° C. was measured using a 1-cm cell having an optical path length of 1 cm. As a result, the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 535 nm and the specific absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) was 59.

     (Synthesis Example of Comparative Colorant 3) 
     In accordance with the method described in 22000-162429A, a triarylmethane compound (A-tp-101) was synthesized. 
     A triarylmethane compound (A-tp-101) (15 g), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (10 g), methacrylic acid (5.5 g), and azobisisobutyronitrile (5 g) were added to N-ethylpyrrolidone (70 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and dissolved (a polymerization solution for dropwise addition). 
     Separately, a triarylmethane compound (A-tp-101) (15 g), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (10 g), methacrylic acid (5.5 g) were dissolved, and the solution was stirred at 80° C. The polymerization solution for dropwise addition, prepared above, was added dropwise thereto for 3 hours, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Then, azoisobutyronitrile (2.5 g) was added thereto, the mixture was further reacted for 2 hours and the reaction was stopped. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed by distillation to obtain a comparative colorant 3. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the comparative colorant 3 was 18,000, and the acid value from titration using a 0.1 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was 1.81 mgKOH/g.

     2. Manufacture of Undercoat Layer-Attached Silicon Wafer Substrate 
     A 6-inch silicon wafer was heated in an oven at 200° C. for 30 minutes. Next, the resist solution was applied onto this silicon wafer such that the dry film thickness became 1.5 μm. Further, the resultant was further heated and dried in an oven at 220° C. for 1 hour to form an undercoat layer, thereby obtaining an undercoat layer-attached silicon wafer substrate. 
     3. Preparation of Coloring Composition 
     3-1. Preparation of Blue Pigment Dispersion Liquid 
     (Preparation of Pigment Dispersion Liquid P1 (C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 Dispersion Liquid)) 
     A pigment dispersion liquid P1 (C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 dispersion liquid) was prepared in the following manner. 
     That is, a mixed liquid including 19.4 parts by mass of C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 (blue pigment; hereinafter also referred to as “PB 15:6”) (average primary particle size of 55 nm), 2.95 parts by mass of BY-161 (manufactured by BYK) as a dispersing agent, 2.95 parts by mass in terms of solid contents (9.93 parts by mass of a solution) of an alkali-soluble resin J1 (a copolymer of benzyl methacrylate/methacrylic acid, a 30% PGMEA solution), and 165.3 parts by mass of PGMEA was mixed and dispersed for 3 hours by a beads mill (zirconia beads having a diameter of 0.3 mm). Thereafter, the pigment dispersion liquid was further subjected to a dispersion treatment under a pressure of 2,000 kg/cm 3  and at a flow rate of 500 g/min, by using a high-pressure dispersing machine equipped with a depressurizing mechanism, NANO-3000-10 (manufactured by Nihon B. E. E Co., Ltd.). This dispersion treatment was repeated 10 times to obtain a C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 dispersion as a pigment dispersion liquid. For the obtained C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 dispersion liquid, the average primary particle diameter of the pigment was measured using a dynamic light scattering method (MICROTRAC NANOTRAC UPA-EX150 (manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.), and as a result, found to be 24 nm.

     4. Manufacture of Color Filter (Colored Pattern) 
     4-1: Manufacture of Color Filter Using Coloring Composition by Photolithography 
     The coloring composition 1 that had been prepared above was applied onto the undercoat layer of the undercoat layer-attached silicon wafer that had been manufactured above, thereby forming a colored layer (coating film). Then, a heating treatment (prebaking) was carried out for 120 seconds, using a hot plate at 100° C. such that the dry film thickness of the coating film became 1 μm. 
     Next, by using an i-ray stepper exposure device FPA-3000i5+ (manufactured by CANON Inc.), the wafer was exposed at a wavelength of 365 nm through an island pattern mask having a 1.0 μm×1.0 μm pattern, at an exposure dose ranging from 50 to 1,200 mJ/cm 2 . 
     Subsequently, the silicon wafer substrate having the coating film irradiated with light formed thereon was loaded onto a horizontal spin table of a spin shower developing machine (Model DW-30, manufactured by Chemitronics Co., Ltd.), and subjected to puddle development at 23° C. for 60 seconds by using CD-2000 (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronic Materials CO., LTD.), thereby forming a colored pattern on the undercoat layer of the undercoat layer-attached silicon wafer substrate. 
     The silicon wafer having the colored pattern formed thereon was fixed onto the horizontal spin table by a vacuum chuck method, and the silicon wafer substrate was rotated at a rotation frequency of 50 rpm by using a rotation device. In this state, from the position above the rotation center, pure water was supplied onto the wafer from a spray nozzle in the form of a shower so as to carry out a rinsing treatment, and then the wafer was spray-dried. Further, the wafer was post-baked on a hot plate at 200° C. for 300 seconds, thereby obtaining a colored pattern (color filter) having a film thickness of 1 μm on the silicon wafer. 
     In the manner described above, a pattern forming silicon wafer configured to have a colored pattern (color filter) provided on the undercoat layer of the undercoat layer-attached silicon wafer was obtained. 
     Thereafter, the size of the colored pattern was measured using a critical dimension SEM “S-9260A” (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). 
     Evaluation of the development residues was carried out using a colored pattern with an exposure dose at which the pattern size became 1.0 μm. 
     &lt;&lt;Evaluation of Development Residues&gt;&gt; 
     Areas (unexposed areas) other than the region on which the colored pattern had been formed in the silicon wafer were observed using a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 30,000, and evaluated according to the following evaluation standard. 
     A: No residue was found in areas (unexposed areas) other than the region on which the colored pattern has been formed. 
     B: Some residues were found in areas (unexposed areas) other than the region on which the colored pattern has been formed, but it was at a level such that there was no problem in practical use. 
     C: Residues were found in areas (unexposed areas) other than the region on which the colored pattern has been formed. By changing the development conditions from puddle development at 23° C. for 60 seconds to puddle development at 23° C. for 180 seconds, it was at a level such that there was no problem in practical use. 
     D: Residues were remarkably found in areas (unexposed areas) other than the region on which the colored pattern has been formed. 
     &lt;&lt;Evaluation of Color Transfer Properties&gt;&gt; 
     The absorbance of the colored pattern in each of the color filters was measured by MCPD-3000 (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.) (Absorbance A). 
     A CT-2000L solution (a transparent undercoating agent manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronics Materials Co., Ltd.) was applied onto the surface, on which the colored pattern of the color filter had been formed, such that the dried film thickness became 1 μm, and dried to form a transparent film, and the film was subjected to a heating treatment at 280° C. for 5 minutes. 
     After the completion of heating, the absorbance of the transparent film adjacent to the colored pattern was measured by MCPD-3000 (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.) (Absorbance B). 
     The ratio [%] of the absorbance A value of the colored pattern which had been measured before heating to the absorbance B value of the obtained transparent film was calculated [the following (Equation A)] The ratio was used as an index for evaluating the color transfer to adjacent pixels.
 
Color transfer (%)=(Absorbance  B /Absorbance  A )×100  (Equation A)
 
     A: Less than 1% 
     B: 1% or more and less than 3% 
     C: 3% or more and less than 10% 
     D: 10% or more 
     &lt;&lt;Evaluation of Light Fastness&gt;&gt; 
     A coating film was formed by coating the colored photosensitive composition which has been prepared above on a glass substrate using a spin coater (manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd.). Further, the coating film was subjected to a heating treatment (prebaking) for 120 seconds using a hot plate at 100° C. such that the dry film thickness of the coating film was 0.6 μm. Subsequently, the coating film was cured by heating at 200° C. for 5 minutes, thereby forming a colored layer. 
     A light fastness test was carried out on the glass substrate on which the colored layer had been formed for 10 hours using a light fastness test apparatus (SX-75 manufactured by Suga Test instruments Co., Ltd.) under the conditions of a black panel temperature of 63° C., a quartz inner filter, a 275 nm cut outer filter, an illumination of 75 mw/m 2  (300 to 400 nm), and a humidity of 50%. 
     The color difference (ΔE*ab) before and after the light fastness test was measured using a spectrophotometer MCPD-3000 (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.). Based on the measured color difference (ΔE*ab), the light fastness was evaluated according to the following evaluation standard. As the numerical value is smaller, the light fastness is better. The evaluation results are shown in the following table. A and B are levels at which there is no problem in practical use. 
     &lt;Evaluation Standard&gt; 
     A: ΔE*ab is 3 or less 
     B: ΔE*ab is more than 3 and 5 or less 
     C: ΔE*ab is more than 5 and 10 or less 
     D: ΔE*ab is more than 10 
     &lt;&lt;Evaluation of Flatness&gt;&gt; 
     A coating film was formed by coating 1.0 mL of the colored photosensitive composition which has been prepared above on a 100 mm (4 inch) silicon wafer using a spin coater (manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd.). Further, the coating film was subjected to a heating treatment (prebaking) for 120 seconds using a hotplate at 100° C. such that the dry film thickness of the core of the coating film was 0.60 μm, thereby forming a colored layer. 
     The film thickness of the colored layer was measured using an optical film thickness meter (F20 manufactured by Filmetrics, Inc.). A smaller difference between the thinnest portion (central portion) and the thickest portion (peripheral portion) in the film thickness can be said to be good. The evaluation results are shown in the following table. A and B are levels at which there is no problem in practical use. 
     &lt;Evaluation Standard&gt; 
     A: The difference in film thickness is 0.02 μm or less. 
     B: The difference in film thickness is from 0.02 μm to 0.05 μm. 
     C: The difference in film thickness is more than 0.05 μm.

     As seen from the above results, the coloring compositions of Examples 1 to 37, including the colorants of the present invention, were excellent in color migration properties, light fastness, and flatness. In addition, there were very few development residues, and the developability was excellent. 
     In contrast, in Comparative Examples 1 to 10, at least one of the above properties was deteriorated. 
     Example 38 
     The components having the following composition were mixed, dispersed, and dissolved to obtain a coloring composition. A color filter was manufactured by the same manner as in Example 1 by using the obtained coloring composition, and the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated.

     As seen from the above results, the coloring compositions of Examples 39 to 50, including the colorants of the present invention, were excellent in color migration properties, light fastness, and flatness. In addition, there were very few development residues, and the developability was excellent. 
     Examples 51 to 71 
     In the same manner as in Example 38 except that the colorant C-1, the pigment dispersion liquid P-1, the photopolymerization initiator I-7, the alkali-soluble resin 1, the polymerizable compound (Z-3), and the epoxy compound E-1 were changed as in the following table in the preparation of a coloring composition in Example 38, coloring compositions were prepared, and the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 38.

     As seen from the above results, the coloring compositions of Examples 72 to 77, including the colorants of the present invention, were excellent in color migration properties, light fastness, and flatness. 
     Preparation of Coloring Composition for Dry Etching 
     Example 78 
     The following respective components were mixed and dissolved to obtain a coloring composition.
         Organic solvent (cyclohexanone): 17.12 parts   Epoxy compound E-5: JER1031S (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, epoxy equivalents: 180 to 220 (g/eq.)): 4.395 parts   Solution of a colorant C-1 in cyclohexanone (a solid content concentration of 12.3%): 24.57 parts   Pigment dispersion liquid P1 (C. I. Pigment Blue 15:6 dispersion liquid, PGMEA solution, a solid content concentration of 12.8%): 51.40 parts   Polymerization inhibitor (p-methoxyphenol): 0.0007 parts   Fluorine-based surfactant (manufactured by DIC Corporation F475, a 1% PGMEA solution): 2.50 parts       

     The coloring composition for dry etching obtained above was coated onto a glass substrate in 7.5 cm×7.5 cm using a spin coater to provide a coating film having a film thickness of 0.5 μm. Then, the resultant was heated using a hot plate at 200° C. for 5 minutes, and the coating film was cured to manufacture a colored layer. The film thickness of this colored layer was 0.5 μm. 
     Next, a positive type photoresist “FHi622BC” (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.) was coated thereonto and subjected to a prebaking treatment at 90° C. for 1 minute to form a photoresist layer having a film thickness of 0.8 μm. 
     Subsequently, the photoresist layer was patternwise exposed at an exposure dose of 350 mJ/cm 2  using an i-ray stepper (manufactured by Canon Inc.), and then subjected to a heating treatment for 1 minute at the temperature of the photoresist layer or an atmospheric temperature reaching 90° C. Thereafter, the resultant was subjected to a developing treatment with a developing solution “FHD-5” (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.) for 1 minute, and then subjected to a postbaking treatment at 110° C. for 1 minute to form a resist pattern. This resist pattern is formed with one side of 1.0 μm, taking consideration an etching conversion difference (reduction in the pattern width by etching). 
     Next, the obtained glass substrate was attached to a 200 mm (8 inch) silicon wafer, and subjected to a first-stage etching treatment for 80 seconds at an RF power of 800 W, an antenna bias of 400 W, a wafer bias of 200 W, an internal pressure of a chamber of 4.0 Pa, a substrate temperature of 50° C., and gas types and flow rates of a mixed gas: CF 4 : 80 mL/min., O 2 : 40 mL/min., and Ar: 800 mL/min in a dry etching device (U-621, manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). 
     Subsequently, in the same etching chamber, the glass substrate was subjected to a second-stage etching treatment and an over-etching treatment for 28 seconds at an RF power of 600 W, an antenna bias of 100 W, a wafer bias of 250 W, an internal pressure of a chamber of 2.0 Pa, a substrate temperature of 50° C., and gas types and flow rates of a mixed gas: N 2 : 500 mL/min., O 2 : 50 mL/min., and Ar: 500 mL/min. (N 2 /O 2 /Ar=10/1/10), with an over-etching rate in the same etching chamber. 
     After carrying out the dry etching under the conditions, a stripping treatment was carried out using a photoresist stripping solution “MS230C” (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.) at 50° C. for 120 seconds to remove the resist, thereby forming a blue colored pattern. Furthermore, washing with pure water and spin drying were carried out, and then a dehydration baking treatment was carried out at 100° C. for 2 minutes. Thus, a color filter was obtained. 
     By the same method as in Example 1, the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated. 
     Examples 79 to 91 and Comparative Examples 11 to 19 
     In the same manner as in Example 78 except that the colorant C-1, the epoxy compound E-5, and the pigment dispersion liquid P1 were changed as in the following table in Preparation of Coloring Composition in Example 78, coloring compositions were prepared, and the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 78.

     As seen from the above results, the coloring compositions of Examples 78 to 91, including the colorants of the present invention, were excellent in color migration properties, light fastness, and flatness. 
     In contrast, the coloring compositions of Comparative Examples were deteriorated in any of color migration properties, light fastness, and flatness. 
     Example 92 
     The following respective components were mixed and dissolved to obtain a coloring composition. A color filter was manufactured by the same manner as in Example 1 by using the obtained coloring composition, and the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated.
         Organic solvent (cyclohexanone): 14.69 parts   Alkali-soluble resin 1 (J1): 0.29 parts (a solid content of 0.09 parts, a solid content concentration of 30%)   Alkali-soluble resin 2 (ACRYCURE RD-F8 (manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd.)): 0.05 parts   Photopolymerization initiator I-7 (IRGACURE OXE-02): 0.78 parts   Solution of a colorant C-52 in cyclohexanone (a solid content concentration of 12.3%): 79.68 parts   Polymerizable compound Z-3 ethoxylated (4) pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, SR494 (manufactured by Sartomer Company Inc.): 1.61 parts   Epoxy compound E-1 (EHPE 3150, manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.): 0.39 parts   Polymerization inhibitor (p-methoxyphenol): 0.0007 parts   Fluorine-based surfactant (manufactured by DIC Corporation F475, a 1% PGMEA solution): 2.50 parts       

     Examples 93 to 96 
     In the same manner as in Example 92 except that the colorant C-52, the photopolymerization initiator I-7, the alkali-soluble resin 1, the polymerizable compound (Z-3), and the epoxy compound E-1 were changed as in the following table in Preparation of Coloring Composition in Example 92, coloring compositions were prepared, and the development residues, the color migration properties, the light fastness, and the flatness were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 92.
