  • Patent number: 8951713
    Abstract: An alkali-soluble resin is provided. The alkali-soluble resin is prepared using a polyfunctional thiol compound as a chain transfer agent. The alkali-soluble resin has a lower viscosity than a resin having the same molecular weight. Further provided is a negative-type photosensitive resin composition comprising the alkali-soluble resin as a binder resin. The use of the alkali-soluble resin lowers the overall viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition to effectively reduce the height of a stepped portion of a photoresist pattern using a small amount of the photosensitive resin composition.

  • Patent number: 8535874
    Abstract: Provided is a novel fluorene-based polymer having urethane bonds and a method for preparing the fluorene-based polymer. According to the method, a diol compound is condensed with a diisocyanate instead of an acid dianhydride, and then an acid anhydride is reacted with the reaction mixture to introduce desired acid groups into the final polymer. Further provided is a negative-type photosensitive resin composition comprising of the fluorene-based polymer as a binder resin. The composition exhibits improved chemical resistance, good development margin and high sensitivity due to presence of the acid groups despite the low molecular weight of the fluorene-based polymer.

  • Patent number: 8361696
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer resin compound including a new polycyclic compound, and a photosensitive resin composition including the polymer resin compound as an effective binder matrix. In particular, the photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention uses a polymer resin compound, which includes a compound having double cyclic structure in one molecule as a monomer, as a binder matrix. Accordingly, the photosensitive resin composition has an excellent photosensitivity and an excellent developing property, and has a low distortion property during plastic processing. For this reason, the photosensitive resin composition has an advantage of curing various transparent photosensitive materials used to manufacture a color filter of a liquid crystal display, for example, a column spacer, an overcoat, a passivation material, and the like.
