Pyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine derivatives are synthesised according to WO98/18866, WO99/55707, WO00/31079 and WO01/29040.
For example, 2,4,6,8-tetraaminopyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine is synthesised according to Example 3 of WO01/29040 wherein the reaction is carried out in water in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid to give a salt and then deprotonated with base.
24 g of benzylmethacrylate, 6 g of methacrylic acid and 0.525 g of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) are dissolved in 90 ml of propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate (PGMEA). The resulting reaction mixture is placed in a preheated oil bath at 80° C. After stirring for 5 hours at 80° C. under nitrogen, the resulting viscous solution is cooled to room temperature and used without further purification. The solid content is 25% and benzylmethacrylate:methacrylic acid ratio is 80:20 by weight.
The following substances are introduced into a 37 ml screw bottle;
Pigments used for the examples:
TAPP: 2,4,6,8-tetraaminopyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine
C.I. Pigment Green 36: Lionol Green 6YK, TOYO INK MFG Co. Ltd.
C.I. Pigment Yellow 138: PALIOTOL YELLOW K 0961 HD, BASF
C.I. Pigment Yellow 150: CROMOPHTAL YELLOW LA, Ciba Specialty Chemicals
Dispersants used for the examples:
EFKA 4330, EFKA 4047: EFKA Additives
DB 161, DB 162, DB 163, DB 168: Disperbyke Additives
SS 24000, SS 32500, SS 37500: Solsperse Additives
The bottle is sealed with an inner cup then applied to a paint conditioner for 3 hours to give a dispersion.
The dispersion thus obtained is cast onto a glass substrate by means of a spin coating, wherein a layer thickness is adjusted to give a film having a desired color points (by standard C light, observation 2 degree) by controlling rotation speed, then dried at 60° C. for 1 hour. Optical properties of the dispersion films thus obtained are measured by use of a spectrophotometer (UV-2500PC, Shimadzu) and color points (C.I.E. 1931 x, y chromaticity diagram) are calculated using standard C light.
Layer thicknesses of the dispersion films are measured by use of a stylus surface profiler (Dektak 6M, ULVAC Inc.).
Pigment ratio and layer thickness of the samples are adjusted to give x=0.290, y=0.600, which is EBU specification widely adopted as the standard color for TV system (
The results indicate that the primidopteridine of present invention gives higher Y value and thinner layer thickness than PY138 and PY150 at fixed x and y value, i.e. better color strength and better brightness, and therefore surprisingly better suitable for color filter application.

2,4,6,8-tetraaminopyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine (TAPP) obtained from Example 1 is micronised by salt kneading using a laboratory kneader with a capacity of 0.75 litter (LUK-075, Werner&Pfleiderer) at 40 rpm under the following conditions;
After kneading, the mass is put in a 3 litter tool beaker with 2 litter of deionised water and stirred with a lab mixer for 3 hours, the resulting mixture is discharged onto a Buchner funnel and the material in the funnel is washed with deionised water until the filtrate is salt-free. The product is dried at 80° C. for 15 hours then sieved through a sieve with a mesh size of 0.3 mm.
The pigments thus obtained are well micronised to be less than 0.1 μm confirmed by a transmission electron microscope.
The micronised products are applied to color filter testing in the same manner as Example 3. Additionally, contrast ratio of the color filter is measured by use of a contrast meter (CT-1, Tubosaka Electric). Dispersant used for making dispersion are EFKA series of EFKA Additives, Disperbyke (DB) series of BYK Chemie, Solsperse (SS) series of Lubrizol and Ajisper PB and PA series of Ajinomoto Fine Techno. The results are summarised in Table 3 and 4.
The results indicate that the primidopteridines of present invention micronised to be less than 0.1 μm, optionally further treated with additives, are particularly suitable for color filter application.
2,4,6,8-tetraaminopyrimido[5,4-g]pteridine (TAPP) micronised in Example 4 is adopted to red color filters.
Pigments used for the examples:
C.I. Pigment Red 254: IRGAPHORE RED BT-CF, Ciba Specialty Chemicals
C.I. Pigment Yellow 139: IRGAPHORE YELLOW 2R-CF, Ciba Specialty Chemicals
Color filter testing is carried out in the same manner as Example 3. The results are summarized in Table 5.
The results indicate that the primidopteridine of present invention gives higher Y value and thinner layer thickness than PY139 at fixed x and y value, i.e. better brightness and color strength, and therefore surprisingly better suitable for red color filter application.
