Definitions

• the present invention relates to a polyimide-polybenzoxazole precursor solution, a polyimide-polybenzoxazole film, and a method of manufacturing the same.
• a polyimide (PI) film is generally formed from a polyimide resin.
• polyimide resin refers to a highly heat-resistant resin prepared by subjecting an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic diamine or an aromatic diisocyanate to solution polymerization, thus preparing a polyamic acid derivative, which is then subjected to ring-closing dehydration at a high temperature so as to be imidized.
• Such a polyimide film has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and electrical insulating properties, and is thus widely utilized in the fields of electronic materials, such as semiconductor insulating layers, electrode-protecting films for TFT-LCDs, substrates for flexible printed wiring boards, and the like.
• a polyimide resin is brown- or yellow-colored, attributable to its high aromatic ring density, and thus has low transmittance in the visible light range. Additionally, it tends to take on a yellowish color, which decreases light transmittance and increases birefringence, making it difficult to utilize it for optical members.
