  • Patent number: 11753506
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a polyimide thin film, a preparing method thereof, and a display device. Specifically, a polyamic acid containing an ester group structure is prepared. The polyamic acid is prepared by a two-step process. A dianhydride containing an ester group structure is introduced into a polyimide to increase the content of benzene ring. Moreover, the introduction of ester groups is conducive to flexibility, which not only improves its heat resistance component, but, by introducing components with longer flexible chains, effectively destroys the regularity of macromolecules, thereby improving the flexibility of the material. Moreover, the introduction of rigid aromatic ring groups facilitates the realization of heat resistance. The ester bond is introduced into the dianhydride through the esterification, and then participates in the preparing of the polyimide material.
