[0120]
[0121] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a patterned material and substrate intermediate coating composition, comprising a main resin A, a main resin B, a thermogenic acid-producing agent, and a solvent; the acid dissociation constant pKa of the conjugate acid corresponding to the anion in the thermogenic acid-producing agent is lower than -3; both main resin A and main resin B contain crosslinkable groups and are crosslinked at 150~300℃; the molar ratio of crosslinking groups in main resin A to crosslinking groups in main resin B is 1:0.6~1.3. In the present invention, by controlling the molar ratio of crosslinking groups in the two resins under the conditions of thermogenic acid-producing agent and 150~300℃, a high crosslinking state is achieved, avoiding the shedding of the upper patterned material; they can also form a strong crosslinked structure on various substrates, exhibiting strong applicability. Experimental results show that the crosslinking degree of the patterned material and substrate intermediate coating composition with different compositions is acceptable on different patterned substrates.
[0122] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
