Patent number: 7901073Abstract: A synthetic route to polymers comprised of at least two monomers each with a very different reactivity ratio by using a corresponding crosslink agent for each monomer. Novel crosslink agents are described that provide for the copolymerization of at least one hydrophilic monomer with at least one lens monomer typically used to prepare materials for ophthalmic lenses. The new crosslink agents have a relatively high selectivity for the hydrophilic monomer and limited reactivity with the crosslink agent used to polymerize the lens monomer.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2008Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: Bausch & Lomb IncorporatedInventors: Ivan M. Nunez, Joseph A. McGee, David E. Seelye

Patent number: 7887994Abstract: Disclosed herein is a photoresist composition suitable for coating onto a large substrate and having improved coating uniformity to prevent occurrence of stains, a coating method thereof, a method of forming an organic film pattern using the same, and a display device fabricated thereby. The present invention thus provides a photoresist composition comprising a polymeric resin with an incorporated polysiloxane resin, a photosensitive compound, and an organic solvent. Accordingly, the photoresist composition can be coated onto a large substrate by a spinless coating method, and thereby coating uniformity can be improved, the occurrence of stains such as cumulous stains and resin streaks can be prevented, and the coating rate and quality of a final product prepared using the photoresist composition can also thereby be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2008Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yeong Beom Lee, Kyung Seop Kim, Jun Young Lee, Sung Wook Kang
