Abstract

A flexible electronic device containing a polyimide film exhibiting excellent C-V characteristics. The polyimide film is a film that shows a maximum gradient of 0.005/V or more in a capacitance-voltage measurement of a laminate in which a polyimide film having a film thickness of 0.75 μm is formed on a silicon wafer having a resistance value of 4 Ωcm; the maximum gradient meaning a maximum value of an absolute value of a gradient in a normalized capacity-voltage curve during a third scan of forward direction scans; a capacity-voltage curve being measured by applying a direct current voltage is to the polyimide film with respect to the silicon wafer between a lowest voltage V 1 and a highest voltage V 2 , and measuring capacitance while the direct current voltage is scanned in a forward direction and scanned in a negative direction; the normalized capacity-voltage curve being normalized so that the capacity at the lowest voltage V 1 is 1.
