The development of organic planarizing films that can be cured at low temperature and demonstrate high optical transparency is reported. This material is targeted for low temperature (<200°C) applications with thermally‐sensitive substrates. The use of a novel catalyst has permitted the low temperature curing to occur while providing formulation stability even at elevated (40°C) temperature. These organic materials are designed to compliment other materials offerings for the display industry in applications where high temperature processing cannot be accommodated.
