An alkali-developable black photosensitive resin composition for forming a light-shielding barrier wall which comprises, as indispensable components, (A) a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive prepolymer, (B) a photopolymerization initiator, (C) a black pigment, and (D) light-transmitting fine particles. By the use of this composition, light-shielding barrier walls () having sufficient light-shielding properties and a height of not less than 20 &#x3bc;m can be formed by photolithography, without causing undercutting during development. In a preferred embodiment, the black pigment (C) is a metal oxide, preferably iron oxide, and the fine particles (D) are inorganic fine particles having a refractive index of 1.40-1.90, preferably silica.

Alkali-developable black photosensitive resin composition for forming light-shielding barrier wall

A photocurable and thermosetting resin composition comprising (A) a carboxylic acid-containing photosensitive resin having at least one carboxyl group and at least two ethylenically unsaturated bonds in its molecule, (B) a filler, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, (D) a diluent, and (E) a compound having at least two cyclic ether groups and/or cyclic thioether groups in its molecule, wherein the difference between the refractive index of the carboxylic acid-containing photosensitive resin (A) and that of the filler (B) is 0.20 or less, and the average grain diameter of the filler (B) is 0.5 to 0.05 &#x3bc;m, and wherein the photo-curing and thermosetting resin composition can be developed by a diluted alkali solution, and can be pattern-formed by a laser oscillation light source of 350 to 420 nm in wavelength.
