Ultraviolet curing is carried out by UV irradiation for several tens of seconds using an ultraviolet sensitizer such as benzoin methyl ether, isogloboxybenzoin, p-pensoylbenzyl bromide, benzoin phenyl ether, benzoin isobutyl ether.

The reason for using glass as the substrate is that this ultraviolet curing occurs from the surface of the coated moisture-sensitive member and may not be sufficiently cured to the inside, so if ultraviolet rays are irradiated again from the back of the glass substrate, it will pass through the glass substrate. This is because it is possible to harden the inside of the film as well.

If you want to accelerate the curing or increase the strength of the resulting film, you can use pentaerythritol-polyacrylite or trimethylolpropane-polyacrylite in the alcohol resin solution, but the amount is too large. It is preferable to limit the amount to an extremely small amount since cracks in the film may cause defects such as the moisture-sensitive member becoming too hard and having poor responsiveness.
