Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies, particularly organic light emitting display devices, face challenges in achieving a high anti-reflection effect due to the limitations of polarizing films, which are not suitable for flexible devices, and require effective methods to reduce reflectance at specific wavelengths for improved visibility.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition containing a specific repeating unit, reactive unsaturated compounds, initiators, and pigments is used to form a pixel separation unit with enhanced absorbance at 550 nm, improving visibility and image quality by forming a photosensitive resin composition that includes a binder resin with a particular chemical structure, reactive unsaturated compounds, initiators, and pigments.
