  • Publication number: 20040157140
    Abstract: A photosensitive coloring composition for color filters using coloring compositons containd (A) a binder resin having an amido group and a carboxyl group and (B) a coloring material has excellent photosensitivity and has improved dispersibility upon producing in particular a coloring composition containing a black pigment such as a carbon black. Use of (A) an epoxy(meth)acrylate resin can further improve the photosensitivity and from a black matrix having sufficient film strenght and low reflectivity. Furhter, use of a modified carbon black treated with a compound having a isocyanate group and an ethylenically unsaturaged bond in a molecule as the coloring material can give rise to a photosensitive resin composition excellent in optically opaque property, photosensitivity and dispersion stability.

  • Patent number: 6316089
    Abstract: A photocurable prepreg sheet for waterproofing includes (1) a fiber-reinforced resin layer which comprises a sheet-shaped inorganic or organic fibrous reinforcing material impregnated with a resin composition comprising: (A) an unsaturated polyester resin and/or vinyl ester resin: 100 parts by weight, and (B) at least two photopolymerization initiators having photosensitivity in different wavelength ranges from ultraviolet range to near infrared range: 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, and which is treated with light of a specific wavelength to thereby undergo prepolymerization which causes at least one of the polymerization initiators and radical-polymerizable unsaturated groups to remain partially intact; and (2) film which covers an upper surface and a back surface of the fiber-reinforced resin layer.
