  • Patent number: 6342322
    Abstract: Disclosed are a photosensitive composition which is developable with an aqueous alkaline solution and such calcined patterns as a conductor pattern, a vitreous dielectric pattern, and a fluorescent pattern which are obtained by the use of the photosensitive composition. The photosensitive composition comprises (A) a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive polymer obtained by the reaction of a copolymer of (a) a compound containing an unsaturated double bond and a carboxyl group and (b) an unsaturated double bond-containing compound with (c) a compound containing an unsaturated double bond and an epoxy group, (B) a diluent, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, (D) an inorganic powder, and (E) a stabilizer. The composition may be in the form of paste or in the form of a dry film. When the photosensitive composition is in the form of paste, the paste is applied to a substrate and then dried to form a film. When the photosensitive composition is in the form of a dry film, the film is laminated on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6312864
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a patterned calcined inorganic film such as an electroconducting or insulating (non-conductive) film, particularly a plasma display panel, embracing a calcining step. To produce a patterned calcined inorganic film without inducing warpage, shrinkage of line width, or breakage of patterned lines, a patterned film formed on a substrate with a composition containing a heat decomposable binder and particles of an inorganic material is covered, prior to the calcining step, with a coating film of a heat decomposable resin composition capable of hardening or drying at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the heat decomposable binder is thermally decomposed and further capable of being burned off below the highest temperature of the calcining profile and thereafter the calcining step is performed.
