Solution Overview

Problem

The existing blue color-shielding black powders used in light-shielding applications, such as in liquid crystal display devices and solid-state imaging elements, lack sufficient moisture resistance when formed into patterned cured films.

Innovation Solution

A light-shielding resin composition comprising metal nitride or oxynitride particles of transition metals with specific electronegativity, including hafnium and tungsten, along with a polymerization initiator and a low-molecular compound with ethylenically unsaturated groups, to enhance the moisture resistance of the cured film.
