Solution Overview

Problem

The existing color-resist compositions used in display panels often result in unsatisfactory inclination angles at the edge of the color-resist pattern, leading to issues like light leakage and display chromatic aberration.

Innovation Solution

A color-resist composition comprising a photocurable resin and a photosensitive monomer with a specific chemical structure, where the ratio of the photocurable resin to the photosensitive monomer is set between 0.3 to 0.7, enhancing the crosslinking degree and improving the hardness and inclination angle of the color-resist film layer.
