Abstract: An alkali-developable black photosensitive resin composition for forming a light-shielding barrier wall which comprises, as indispensable components, (A) a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive prepolymer, (B) a photopolymerization initiator, (C) a black pigment, and (D) light-transmitting fine particles. By the use of this composition, light-shielding barrier walls (11) having sufficient light-shielding properties and a height of not less than 20 ?m can be formed by photolithography, without causing undercutting during development. In a preferred embodiment, the black pigment (C) is a metal oxide, preferably iron oxide, and the fine particles (D) are inorganic fine particles having a refractive index of 1.40-1.90, preferably silica.

Abstract: A photocurable and thermosetting resin composition comprising (A) a carboxylic acid-containing photosensitive resin having at least one carboxyl group and at least two ethylenically unsaturated bonds in its molecule, (B) a filler, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, (D) a diluent, and (E) a compound having at least two cyclic ether groups and/or cyclic thioether groups in its molecule, wherein the difference between the refractive index of the carboxylic acid-containing photosensitive resin (A) and that of the filler (B) is 0.20 or less, and the average grain diameter of the filler (B) is 0.5 to 0.05 ?m, and wherein the photo-curing and thermosetting resin composition can be developed by a diluted alkali solution, and can be pattern-formed by a laser oscillation light source of 350 to 420 nm in wavelength.
