To provide a photosensitive resin composition capable of preventing ion migration while having satisfactory developability and having no cissing. The photosensitive resin composition comprises a reactive polymer having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond group and a carboxyl group; a free radical-based stabilizer; and a photoacid generator. The acid value of the reactive polymer is 40 to 100 mgKOH/g. The chlorine content of the reactive polymer is equal to or less than 150 ppm. The free radical-based stabilizer is selected from a hindered amine or hindered amine derivative. A cured product is obtained by using the photosensitive resin composition.

At least one columnar spacer is formed on a first substrate. A height of the columnar spacer is measured. In order to provide a liquid crystal layer, liquid crystal is dropped onto any one of the first substrate and a second substrate with an amount of the liquid crystal determined based on a determination function dependent upon the height of the columnar spacer. The determination function is provided in advance in consideration of prevention of maldistribution the liquid crystal layer caused by temperature increase, prevention of generation of air bubbles inside a gap caused by temperature decrease, and satisfaction of an upper limit condition and a lower limit condition for a dimension of the gap required by optical properties of a liquid crystal panel.

Described is a tri-block prepolymer having a chemical structure of [A]-[B]-[C], comprising at least one monovalent reactive group, wherein segment [A] and [C] independently comprise polymeric segments based on a first hydrophilic monomer comprising functionality selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl, alkylamine, and mixtures thereof and optionally a second hydrophilic monomer, and [B] comprises a polymeric segment of at least one silicone-containing macromer and optionally a third hydrophilic monomer comprising functionality selected from the group consisting of hydroxyalkyl, alkylamine, and mixtures thereof and optionally a silicone-containing monomer. These prepolymers may be used alone or in combination with other components in reactive monomer mixtures for making silicone hydrogels and ophthalmic devices made therefrom, including contact lenses.
