Abstract

The present specification relates to a method for preparing a colorant composition comprising dissolving a first xanthene-based dye having the same number of positive charges and negative charges and a second xanthene-based dye having more negative charges than positive charges by one or more in a first solvent; and precipitating the dissolved first xanthene-based dye and the dissolved second xanthene-based dye in a second solvent, and a colorant composition, a colorant dispersion, a photosensitive resin composition, a color filter and a liquid crystal display device.

precipitating the dissolved first xanthene-based dye and the dissolved second xanthene-based dye in a second solvent.

2. The method for preparing a colorant composition of claim 1 , further comprising micronizing the precipitated first xanthene-based dye and the precipitated second xanthene-based dye.

3. A colorant composition prepared using the preparation method of claim 2 .

4. A colorant dispersion comprising:
the colorant composition of claim 3 ;
a dispersant;
an acrylic resin; and
a solvent.

5. The colorant dispersion of claim 4 , wherein the first xanthene-based dye has π-π interactions with the second xanthene-based dye, and the second xanthene-based dye forms ionic bonds with the dispersant.

6. The colorant dispersion of claim 4 , wherein diameters of dispersed particles of the colorant composition are from 40 nm to 80 nm, and viscosity of the colorant dispersion is from 2.5 cP to 6.5 cP.

7. A photosensitive resin composition comprising:
the colorant dispersion of claim 4 ;
a blue colorant dispersion;
an acrylic resin;
a multifunctional monomer;
a surfactant;
an initiator; and
a solvent.

The photosensitive resin composition of claim 7 , further comprising one or more pigments or dyes selected from the group consisting of phthalocyanine-based pigments or dyes, triarylmethane-based pigments or dyes, quinophthalone-based pigments or dyes, isoindoline-based pigments or dyes, and azo-based pigments or dyes.

9. The photosensitive resin composition of claim 7 , wherein a change in initial viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition and viscosity measured after storing for 7 days in a 40° C. thermostat is from 2% to 2.5%, and a diameter of the dispersed average particle is 100 nm or less.

10. A color filter comprising:
a transparent substrate; and
a colored layer provided on the transparent substrate,
