    Example: Preparation of Photosensitive Resin Composition

    [0087] A photosensitive resin composition was prepared using 24 parts by weight of a quinone diazide compound (Tris-TPPA) based on 100 parts by weight of the polyimide-based resin synthesized under the same conditions as in Production Examples 1 to 87 of Tables 11 to 49, and 9 and 10 parts by weight of Chemical Formulae d and i, respectively, as a crosslinking agent.

    Experimental Example: Characterization

    [0088] The photosensitive resin composition Examples 1 to 87 prepared according to the above Examples including the polyimide-based resins of Production Examples 1 to 87 prepared according to the conditions described in Tables 11 to 49 are applied on a substrate. Thereafter, a thin film was applied on a Ti/Al/Ti substrate using a slit coater and then dried on a hot plate at 120° C. for 2 minutes to form a film with a thickness of 3.0 μm. Physical properties of the photoresist, such as imidization rate, sensitivity, scum, crack, chemical resistance, adhesive strength, OLED reliability, and folding characteristics, were measured using the fabricated substrate.

    Experimental Example 1: Imidization Rate Evaluation

    [0089] The photosensitive resin composition prepared in the above example is applied on a substrate. Then, after applying a thin film composition on a glass substrate using a slit coater, the applied composition was dried on a hot plate at 120° C. for 2 minutes and cured at 250° C. and 350° C. for 1 hour each to form a film having a thickness of 3.0 μm, and IR was measured for the film. Based on the C═C stretching peak intensity of benzene, which does not change during imidization, the imidization index was confirmed through the C—N—C peak intensity according to the imide reaction (Peak of C—N—C/Peak of C═C @aromatic). Assuming that the imidization rate is 100% at the time of 350° C. cure, the imidization rate at the time of 250° C. cure is calculated and shown in Tables 51 to 59 below.

    Experimental Example 2: Sensitivity Measurement

    [0090] After applying ultraviolet rays having an intensity of 20 mW/cm.sup.2 in a broadband based on the formation of a 5 μm contact hole CD formation reference dose on the substrate coated with each photosensitive resin composition using a predetermined pattern mask, the substrate coated with each photosensitive resin composition was developed at 23° C. for 1 minute with an aqueous solution of 2.38 parts by weight of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and washed with ultrapure water for 1 minute. Thereafter, the prepared substrate was cured at 250° C. for 60 minutes in an oven to obtain a pattern film having a contact hole CD of 7 μm. When 40 to 150 mJ/cm.sup.2 is satisfied with an appropriate result value, the sensitivity is shown as in Tables 51 to 59 below as ∘.

    Experimental Example 3: Measurement of Scum

    [0091] During the sensitivity measurement, the inside of the pattern was observed with SEM to check whether residues were present in lines, spaces, and contact holes. When the development residue is present, it is marked as X, and when it is not present, as O, in Tables 51 to 59 below.

    Experimental Example 4: Measurement of Crack

    [0092] The prepared substrate was visually inspected and observed under a microscope at 100 times magnification, when cracks were observed, it was marked as X, when cracks were not observed, it was marked as ∘, in Tables 51 to 59 below.

    Experimental Example 5: Measurement of Chemical Resistance

    [0093] The prepared substrate was immersed in a 25° C. evaluation solvent for 120 seconds, and the cured film thickness change rate before and after immersion was measured. 0 to less than 150 Å is ⊚, 150 or more to less than 300 Å is ∘, 300 or more to less than 600 Å is Δ, and 600 Å or more is marked as X in Tables 51 to 59 (evaluation solvent is propylene glycol methyl ether: propylene glycol methyl ether acetate=7:3 molar ratio).

    Experimental Example 6: Measurement of Adhesive Strength

    [0094] A pattern film was formed in the same manner as in the case of sensitivity measurement, but the adhesive strength according to the baking temperature was compared based on the case where the line width and a slit width of 10 μm were 1:1. At this time, if the adhesive force is secured at 90° C. to 100° C. in the prebake, it is marked as ∘, if the adhesive force is secured in the prebake temperature of 105° C. to 115° C., it is marked as Δ, if the adhesive force is secured in the prebake temperature of 120° C. or more, it is marked as NG, and results are shown in Tables 51 to 59 below.

    Experimental Example 7: Measurement of OLED Reliability

    [0095] A pixel define layer (PDL) and a VIA pattern film of an OLED device can be formed in the same manner as in the case of sensitivity measurement, and FIG. 1 is a diagram showing that a pixel define layer (PDL) and VIA Pattern layer are formed on an ITO substrate on which a pattern is formed, and EL is deposited. As shown in FIG. 1, Al is deposited as a cathode electrode on the top portion, and the encapsulation process is performed. In measurement conditions of 85° C., 85% RH standard, the time (T97) for 3% luminance drop in the device on state was evaluated. When 1000 hours or more were secured, it is marked as ∘, when 800 hours or more and less than 1000 hours were secured, it is marked as A, and when less than 800 hours were secured, it is marked as NG in Tables 51 to 59 below.

    Experimental Example 8: Folding Characteristic Measurement

    [0096] When a PI film of 100 μm is applied with the materials of the Comparative Examples and Examples in Table 2 having a thickness of 3 μm and in-folding is performed 200,000 times with a radius of curvature of 1R size, if multiple cracks in the folding portion are observed, it is marked as NG, if some cracks in the folding portion are observed, it is marked as Δ, and if cracks are not observed, it is marked as ∘ in Tables 51 to 59 below.
