  • Patent number: 11809078
    Abstract: A purpose of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition which retains satisfactory image resolution and gives cured objects reduced in wet-heat dissolution or contamination and having satisfactory wet-heat adhesiveness. The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises: (A) a cationic photopolymerization initiator which comprises a salt of a cation with an anion represented by formula (1) (wherein R1 to R4 each independently represent a C1?18 alkyl or C6-14 aryl group, provided that at least one of R1 to R4 represents a C6-14 aryl group); and (B) an epoxy compound. R1 to R4 may be each independently either a phenyl group having one or more perfluoroalkyl groups as substituents or a phenyl group having one or more fluorine atoms as substituents. R1 to R4 may be each independently a pentafluorophenyl or bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl group.
