Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional colored photosensitive resin compositions for solid state imaging devices face challenges in forming high-resolution, micro-patterned colored patterns using ultra-short wavelength exposure devices of 300 nm or less, as they exhibit poor hardening efficiency and sensitivity.

Innovation Solution

A colored photosensitive resin composition comprising a colorant, binder resin, photopolymerizable compound, and a photoinitiator, specifically using acetophenone-, benzophenone-, or oxime ester-based photoinitiators, which react at wavelengths of 300 nm or less, to achieve high-resolution micro-patterns with improved sensitivity and line characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional colored photosensitive resin composition is used with ultra-short wavelength exposure device of 300 nm or less, then micro-patterning of colored patterns is achieved, but hardening efficiency and sensitivity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the photosensitive resin by incorporating specific photoinitiators (acetophenone, benzophenone, or oxime ester compounds) that are activated at wavelengths of 300 nm or less. This parameter change enables the resin to achieve both high-resolution micro-patterning and efficient hardening under ultra-short wavelength exposure, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and reliability.
