To provide a photosensitive resin composition for spacers capable of reducing defects in an unfilled region due to a dropping amount of a liquid crystal, capable of preventing damage by pressure on acolor filter, capable of suppressing thickness variation which is unavoidable in a process, free from leaching of ions or impurities in a liquid crystal, not lowering voltage retentivity, having no effect on liquid crystal alignment, and capable of forming spacers excellent in rubbing resistance, having satisfactory voltage retentivity and liquid crystal aligning property, and excellent in developability, high sensitivity, heat stability, dimensional stability and compressive strength. The photosensitive resin composition for spacers comprises (a) a resin selected from the group consisting of(i) an alkali-soluble acrylate resin, (ii) a photopolymer resin and (iii) a mixture of these, (b) a urethane resin, (c) a crosslinkable monomer having at least two or more ethylenic double bonds, (d)a photopolymerization initiator and (e) a solvent. |
