A positive-type photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment contains: a first resin (A) having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups, at least some of which are protected with an acid-labile group; a second resin (B) having an epoxy group and a phenolic hydroxyl group; at least one colorant (C) selected from the group consisting of a black dye and a black pigment; and a photoacid generator (D).

Abstract: The present invention reduces inhibition of light sensitization of a photosensitive resin composition containing a black dye and increases sensitivity by improving pattern forming ability. The photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment of the present invention contains a binder resin (A), a radiation-sensitive compound (B), and a dye (C), wherein the dye (C) contains a black dye (C1) and a dye (C2) other than (C1), the dye (C2) has an absorption maximum at a wavelength of 480-550 nm in an wavelength range of 300-800 nm, and, when the absorbance of the dye (C2) at the absorption maximum wavelength is defined as Abs1 and the average absorbance of the dye (C2) at wavelengths 560-600 nm is defined as Abs2, Abs2/Abs1 equals 0.1-1.0.

Abstract: Provided is a positive photosensitive resin composition having high sensitivity, high definition, and high adhesiveness and being capable of maintaining blackness and high light-blocking properties, even after a high-temperature curing step, e.g., at 250° C. This positive photosensitive resin composition contains: a binder resin (A); a quinonediazide compound (B); and at least one type of black dye (C) selected from black dyes specified by the color indexes of solvent black 27-47. The black dye (C) is ideally specified by the color index of solvent black 27, 29, or 34.
