Among display elements, electrochromic display elements are much clearer than liquid crystals, cause less eye fatigue even when used for long periods of time, and have visual dependence unique to liquid crystals, which makes the display difficult to see when viewed from a slight angle. Because of its lack of flexibility, it is being developed as a next-generation display element to replace liquid crystals in large displays, digital watches, calculators, etc., and is being turned into an -aISS product.

However, conventional WO targets are manufactured by pressureless sintering, which causes a large amount of target wear, and the wear does not progress uniformly, making the target unusable in a short period of time. The molded bodies were prone to cracking during sintering, and it was difficult to stably produce molded bodies with a dense and uniform internal structure.

One way to achieve this high density is to apply hot pressing, but in normal hot pressing, a carbon mold is used, and carbon powder or carbon fiber is used as a heat insulator, etc. in a reducing atmosphere. Because of its strength, it is difficult to obtain molded bodies of WOs, which are easily reduced at high temperatures, by ordinary hot pressing.

The above-mentioned high-density target is suitably manufactured by applying hot pressing. During the treatment, oxide-based or nitride-based ceramics or a composite material thereof is used as a mold in order to prevent reduction of the generated WO□.

In addition, since WOI easily separates from oxygen and is easily reduced at high temperatures, it is necessary to supply sufficient oxygen during hot pressing. Specifically, high-pressure oxygen or air must be supplied around the mold. Either a method of forcibly supplying oxygen by means such as a method of supplying oxygen, or a method of sufficiently circulating air may be used.

However, if the temperature is kept at the above temperature for too long, cracks may occur due to the growth of crystal grains, and reduction of WO□ may proceed, so the holding time is preferably within 2 hours. Heating in this case is performed by high-frequency induction heating, and the heating element is a heat-resistant conductor capable of enclosing the mold.
