For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an alkali-soluble cyclic polyolefin-based resin composition, a 1,2-quinonediazide compound, and a crosslinking agent having a functional group capable of forming a crosslinking agent (preferably glycolurils and, for example, bisphenol A type A radiation-sensitive composition containing a compound having at least two epoxy groups and having no radical polymerizability, such as an epoxy resin, is disclosed. However, when this radiation-sensitive composition is used, the film thickness during development or peeling of the developed film may occur, or the shape and transparency may be lost after the heating step. In addition, since the solvent resistance is not sufficient, the resin film formed from these radiation-sensitive compositions is not suitable for laminating, for example, a polyimide for a liquid crystal polarizing film on the resin film. It was.

Patent Document 2 discloses a radiation-sensitive composition comprising an alicyclic olefin resin, an acid generator, a crosslinking agent, and a solvent, and using a specific compound as a solvent. However, with this radiation-sensitive composition, there are cases in which the film thickness during development, the peel-off of the developed film, the shape and transparency change due to the heating process, and the like occur.
Furthermore, a curable composition comprising a ring structure-containing polymer having a polar group such as a carboxyl group, a polyfunctional epoxy resin, and a curing agent as required is disclosed (Patent Document 3). However, the curable composition disclosed herein is not suitable for efficiently forming a pattern by actinic radiation, and these requirements are required when heat-resistant shape retention and solvent resistance are highly required. Could not be satisfied sufficiently.

It is found that when a material having no aliquot (Comparative Example 2) is used, these properties are inferior, and when using a bifunctional compound having no alicyclic structure, these various properties are remarkably inferior.
