。[Prior Art] The increasing density and capacity of liquid crystal panels, EL panels, etc. has led to an increase in driving frequency, and therefore, reducing the resistance of transparent electrodes has become a very important issue. In order to reduce the resistance of transparent electrodes, improvements in materials and film-forming methods have made it possible to mass-produce transparent electrodes with a specific resistance of 2 X i O-'Ω・m, mainly from TO. auty
This value is no longer sufficient in high frequency driving such as l'/400 duty. Therefore, attempts have been made to reduce the resistance of transparent electrodes by using metal assist, but this has resulted in problems such as increased cost and decreased aperture ratio. The easiest way to reduce the resistance of a transparent electrode is to increase its film thickness, but after electrode patterning, the substrate surface has unevenness equal to the thickness of the electrode, which causes various problems. Ta. That is, in the case of the 5-TN system, which is one of the most common types of liquid crystal displays, problems include alignment defects, in the case of the NTN system, there is a color fading phenomenon due to changes in retardation, and in EL panels and the like, problems include poor insulation of the insulating film coated on the electrodes.
