    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive composition whose component is a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer composition containing styrene, a (meth)acrylic acid ester having a cyclic structure, and an alkyl(meth)acrylate having a chain structure. The monomer composition further contains a carboxylic acid having an ethylene double bond, a bifunctional monomer, and a styrene macromonomer. The polymer has a styrene block segment. This can improve heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, alkaline resistance, and easiness in stripping of an adhesive composition that has been subjected to a high temperature process. As a result, there can be obtained an adhesive composition which has high heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, and alkali resistance, and which can be easily stripped off after the adhesive composition is processed at a high temperature.

  • Patent number: 7820735
    Abstract: An ink composition for a color filter includes about 100 parts by weight of a pigment dispersion, about 7 parts by weight to about 65 parts by weight of a thermosetting resin having hydroxyl group at a side chain of the thermosetting resin, about 0.015 part by weight to about 1.5 parts by weight of a thermal initiator, about 0.8 part by weight to about 15 parts by weight of an epoxy-based resin containing fluorine, and about 15 parts by weight to about 165 parts by weight of a solvent. A color filter substrate is manufactured using the ink composition for color filter. The ink composition for the color filter improves straightness of ink jetting through an ink-jetting nozzle and prevents the ink composition from spreading to neighboring pixels.
