a photosensitive resin composition for a spacer, and more particularly to a method of coating a large substrate of a liquid crystal display by a cast coating method. After coating, the wireless residual marks (including horizontal linear residual marks and vertical linear residual marks) and cloudless residual marks, and the in-plane coating uniformity coated on the large substrate is good, and the edge film thickness deviation value is low. The photosensitive resin composition for the interstitial body which can be developed by the alkaline developing solution. [Prior Art] In the art of liquid crystal display, in order to keep two glass substrates at a fixed interval, glass beads or plastic beads are often spread between the two glass substrates. Because of the scattered distribution, the beads of the whitehead method are often distributed on red (R), green (G), and blue (B) alizarin, so that the incident light is affected by scattering, resulting in a liquid crystal display. The contrast is reduced. One. . In order to improve the influence of the incident light on the scattering of the interstitial body, causing the contrast of the liquid crystal to be lowered, the photosensitive yttrium intercalated body is generally manufactured by a yellow light process. However, the photosensitive resin type spacer manufactured by this method forms a dot-like or straight strip-shaped spacer after the substrate is developed, and the spacer can be disposed in a region other than R, G, and B, thereby improving scattering incidence. The problem of reduced contrast caused by light on liquid crystal displays. In addition, the thickness of the spacer body prepared by this method is excellent, and the two glass gaps _ (four) are easy to control and the precision is also greatly improved, which is extremely important for a high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD).
