A transparent polyimide film, prepared from a copolymerized polyamide acid according to a chemical cyclization method, is provided. The copolymerized polyamide acid requires at least a semi-aromatic polyamide acid, and the semi-aromatic polyamide acid is formed by reacting cyclobutane-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA) and 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)diaminodiphenyl (TFMB). The molar number of dianhydrides of the semi-aromatic polyamide acid is more than 20% of the total molar number of anhydrides of the copolymerized polyamide acid, so that the transparent polyimide film has a light transmittance greater than 80%, a chroma b* less than 5, and a CTE less than 35 ppm/&#xb0; C.

Transparent polyimide film

A transparent polyimide film manufacturing method includes following steps: producing a polyimide film having a tensile modulus of elasticity greater than 5.4 GPa ((N/m)&#xd7;109), a light transmittance greater than 85%, and a chromaticity b* less than 2; providing an ether-free dianhydride and a diamine to form an ether-free polyamic acid; reacting the ether-free polyamic acid with an aromatic cyclic dianhydride to form a copolymerized polyamic acid; and chemically cyclizing the copolymerized polyamic acid to form a transparent polyimide film.
