  • Patent number: 5641595
    Abstract: A method for making color filters containing a color matrix with at least three desired colored layers comprising the steps of: (a) forming a positive energy-accumulable photoresist layer on a transparent electrically conductive substrate; (b) pre-conditioning the energy-accumulable photoresist layer to form at least three regions of different initial levels of exposure energy, from a highest to a lowest; (c) using a developer solution to develop and remove the region of the photoresist layer with the highest level of initial exposure energy to thereby cause a corresponding area of the electrically conductive substrate underlying the photoresist to be uncovered; (d) electrodepositing a photo-curable resin of a desired color and a predetermined exposure energy required for curing onto the uncovered area of the substrate; (e) overall-exposing the photoresist layer to a light source so as to impart an incremental exposure energy to all regions of the photoresist layer; (f) using a developer solution to develop a

  • Patent number: 5631111
    Abstract: An improved method is disclosed for making color filters via electrodeposition or lithographic electrodeposition of a plurality of colored resins onto an electrically conductive substrate. The method comprises the steps of: (a) forming a black-hued pattern on the substrate; (b) dividing the substrate into an intended zone and a conjugate zone, the intended zone being portions of the substrate to be deposited with the colored resins and the conjugate zone being portions of the substrate not to be deposited with the colored resins; (c) forming a permanent insulation film on the conjugate zone of the substrate; and (d) electrodepositing the colored resins onto the intended zone of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5523340
    Abstract: An anionic electrodepositable coating composition for making pigment dispersed color filters comprising: (a) a pigment; (b) a first addition copolymer containing pyrrolidone and hydroxy groups; (c) a second addition copolymer containing carboxyl and hydroxy groups; and (d) a low molecular weight amine. The pyrrolidone-containing monomer can be N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone or a pyrrolidone-containing acrylate-based monomer represented by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen atom, or methyl or ethyl group, and n is an integer between 1.about.3. The first addition copolymer has a weight average molecular weight between 1,000 and 20,000 and is prepared from a monomer composition comprising about 0.5.about.90 mole percent of a pyrrolidone-containing unsaturated monomer and about 1.about.50 mole percent of a hydroxy-containing unsaturated monomer. The second addition copolymer has a weight average molecular weight between 5,000 and 60,000 and is prepared from a monomer composition comprising about 5.
