Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a colorless transparent polyimide having good thermal stability and a method for producing the same. For more details,
The present invention relates to a polyimide film having a significantly high light transmittance, an almost colorless and transparent polyimide film, and good thermal stability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, polyimide resins obtained by the reaction of tetracarboxylic dianhydride and diamine have not only high heat resistance but also mechanical strength, dimensional stability, flame retardancy, electrical insulation and the like. And is used as a material or as a heat-resistant adhesive in the fields of electric and electronic equipment, aerospace equipment, transportation equipment, and the like. For example, as one of the product forms of the polyimide resin, the polyimide film is expected to be widely used in the field where heat resistance is required in the future due to its excellent physical properties. However, many of the polyimides that have been developed so far have excellent properties, but generally have low light transmittance, often dark yellow or dark brown, and particularly low transmittance in the visible region, making them even more visible in outer space. It has the drawback of darkening the color. On the other hand, polyester films and aliphatic polyimide films have been developed that are colorless and transparent or have a hue close to that, but they are inferior in long-term heat resistance and weather resistance. In the field of space development in recent years, a film that absorbs less cosmic rays is required as a coverlay for solar cells.
