Abstract

The present invention relates to a polyimide precursor, a polyimide precursor solution, a polyimide film, a manufacturing method thereof, and a use thereof. The polyimide precursor according to the present invention may provide a polyimide film that has excellent heat resistance and satisfies transparency and a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and thus the polyimide film will be usefully applicable in the field of flexible displays requiring high dimensional stability.
