Patent ID: 7041416

Claim:
An image forming method comprising the steps of: forming, on a transparent substrate, at least a layer including a colored photosensitive resin composition, and patternwise exposing and alkali developing; wherein the colored photosensitive resin composition is a colored photosensitive resin composition for forming a colored image on a transparent substrate, the colored photosensitive resin composition comprising: an alkali-soluble binder, one of a monomer and an oligomer having at least two ethylenic unsaturated double bonds, one of a photopolymerization initiator and a photopolymerization initiating system, and a pigment, said alkali-soluble binder comprising a copolymer including a structural unit having a carboxyl group, a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1), and a structural unit comprising a (meth)acrylate having at least one of an aromatic ring and an alicyclic ring: wherein R 1 represents one of a hydrogen atom and a methyl group; and each of R 2 to R 6 independently represents one of a hydrogen atom, a substituted and unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted and unsubstituted aryl group, a halogen atom and a cyano group; wherein said alkali-soluble binder comprises a copolymer including a structural unit having a carboxyl group in a range of 10 to 40 mol %, a structural unit represented by the general formula (1) in a range of 20 to 80 mol %, and a structural unit comprising a (meth)acrylate having at least one of an aromatic ring and an alicyclic ring in a range of 10 to 70 mol %; wherein the method further comprises the step of heating said layer to a temperature range of 120° to 250° C. after the developing step.
