Abstract

The present invention provides a hollow structure having a low acid ion content and low wiring corrosion when stored in high-temperature, high-humidity conditions. The present invention relates to a hollow structure in which an organic film (I) having a film thickness of 5-30 μm as a hollow structure support material and an organic film (II) having a film thickness of 5-30 μm as a hollow structure roof material are layered in said order from the upper surface of a substrate having a metal wiring, wherein, when the organic film (I) and the organic film (II) are independently evaluated by the following method for evaluating ion elution amounts, the total of the ion elution amount of the organic film (I) and the ion elution amount of the organic film (II) is no more than 4,000 ppm. (Ion elution amount evaluation method) An organic film is placed in pure water having a mass 10 times that of the organic film and is extracted in hot water for 10-20 hours at 100-121° C., after which the supernatant of the liquid extract is used as a sample solution. The sample solution and a target ion standard solution are introduced into an ion chromatography device, the concentrations of formate ions, acetate ions, propionate ions, and sulfate ions in the sample solution are determined by a calibration curve method, and a value obtained by converting the total of said concentrations into the mass of eluted ions relative to the mass of the organic film is used as the ion elution amount.

An object is to provide a production method for a precarbonized fiber bundle and a precarbonization furnace capable of continuously producing the precarbonized fiber bundle for a long period of time by efficiently discharging a decomposition gas containing a tar component generated when performing a precarbonization treatment at the time of carbon fiber production and retained in a heat treatment chamber throughout the heat treatment chamber. The production method for a precarbonized fiber bundle includes allowing an aligned stabilized fiber bundle vertically arranged in one or two or more tiers to travel horizontally in a heat treatment chamber and heat-treating and precarbonizing the stabilized fiber bundle at a maximum temperature of 300 to 1,000° C. using an inert gas supplied from an inlet side and an outlet side of the heat treatment chamber, in which a flow rate ratio Q2/Q1 satisfies Formula (1) below, where Q1 represents a volume flow rate of gas in a first exhaust discharged out of the heat treatment chamber from a position higher than a position of an uppermost tier of the traveling stabilized fiber bundle, and Q2 represents a volume flow rate of gas in a second exhaust discharged out of the heat treatment chamber from a position lower than the position of the uppermost tier of the traveling stabilized fiber bundle: An object is to provide a production method for a precarbonized fiber bundle and a precarbonization furnace capable of continuously producing the precarbonized fiber bundle for a long period of time by efficiently discharging a decomposition gas containing a tar component generated when performing a precarbonization treatment at the time of carbon fiber production and retained in a heat treatment chamber throughout the heat treatment chamber.

Abstract

Problems have been presented in terms of the step flatness of cured films used, inter alia, as wiring-insulating insulation films or protective films formed so as to cover metal wirings or light-emitting elements such as LEDs. The present invention overcomes problems relating to the incidence of wiring defects such as short-circuiting and defects associated with light-emitting element connection, and problems relating to the light-emission fault rate when this display device has been produced. The present invention is a display device having at least a metal wiring, a cured film, and a plurality of light-emitting elements, wherein a pair of electrode terminals are provided on one surface of each of the light-emitting elements. The pair of electrode terminals are connected to a plurality of the metal wirings extending in the cured film. The metal wirings are configured so that electrical insulation properties are maintained by the cured film. The metal wirings have a plurality of metal wirings (K1) extending in the thickness direction of the cured film, and a plurality of metal wirings (K2) that are connected to the metal wiring (K1) and that extend in a planar direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the cured film. The cured film is obtained by curing a resin composition containing resin (A) and has a cured film that is in contact with some of the surfaces of the metal wirings (K2). The display device has at least a region (G) in which the line spacing H1 between two of the metal wirings (K2) that are adjacent to one another is 1-20 μm. In the region (G), the ratio H3/H2 is 1.4-4.0, and the step flattening rate P (%) expressed by (Formula 1) is 70-99%, where H2 (μm) is the thickness of the metal wirings (K2), H3 (μm) is the thickness of the cured film, and H4 (μm) is the depth of a step in the cured film that was formed in the region (G). (Formula 1) P (%)=(1−(H4/H2))×100

According to the present invention, such a problem is solved. This display device comprises at least: a metal wiring; a cured film; and a plurality of light-emitting elements. Each of the light-emitting elements is equipped with a pair of electrode terminals on one surface thereof. The pair of electrode terminals are connected to a plurality of strands of the metal wiring extending in the cured film. The plurality of strands of the metal wiring are configured to maintain electrical insulating properties due to the cured film. The cured film is obtained by curing a resin composition containing a resin (A). The transmittance of the cured film with respect to light having a wavelength of 450 nm is 80-100% at a thickness standard of 5 μm of the cured film.
