Includes.

At this time, the polyimide precursor composition according to the above embodiment may be applied in the same manner.

In one embodiment, the anti-scattering layer may be formed by applying a composition for forming an anti-scattering layer and then drying it, and the drying may include, for example, a secondary drying step. For example, after primary drying at a temperature of about 30 ° C to 60 ° C, 40 ° C to 60 ° C, or 45 ° C to 55 ° C for about 30 seconds to 120 seconds, 30 seconds to 90 seconds, or 50 seconds to 80 seconds, at a temperature of about 150°C to 300°C, 180°C to 280°C, 200°C to 280°C, or 200°C to 250°C for about 1 minute to 30 minutes, 1 minute to 20 minutes, 5 minutes to 20 minutes, or 5 minutes.

The composition for forming a hard coating layer may be semi-cured or partially cured by the photocuring, and the semi-cured or partially cured composition for forming a hard coating layer may be substantially completely cured by the thermal curing. . For example, when curing the composition for forming a hard coating layer only by photocuring, the curing time may be excessively long or curing may not partially proceed completely.

Additionally, in general, as the curing time increases (eg, the exposure time increases), overcuring may occur by providing excessive energy to a part that has already been cured to an appropriate degree. If the overcuring progresses, the hard coating layer may lose flexibility or mechanical defects such as curls and cracks may occur. On the other hand, when the photocuring and the thermal curing are used together, the composition for forming the hard coating layer can be substantially completely cured in a short time, and the hardness can be further improved while maintaining the flexibility of the hard coating layer.

Previously, a method of first photocuring the composition for forming the hard coating layer and then further heat curing was described, but the order of photocuring and heat curing is not particularly limited thereto.

It is not necessarily limited to this.

In one embodiment, the photoinitiator may include a photocationic initiator. The photocationic initiator can initiate polymerization of the epoxy siloxane resin and epoxy-based monomer. The photocationic initiator may be an iodonium salt, an onium salt, and/or an organic metal salt, for example, a diaryl iodonium salt, a triarylsulfonium salt, an aryldiazonium salt, or an iron-arene salt. Complexes, etc. can be used individually or in a mixture of two or more types, but are not necessarily limited thereto.
