膜などが用いられている。As a transparent conductive substrate used in a conventional liquid crystal display device, a transparent conductive film such as indium oxide (ITO) doped with tin is formed on a glass substrate by a sputtering method or a vacuum deposition method, and then photolithography. It is manufactured by finely processing (patterning) the ITO electrode by the process and the wet etching process. As the touch panel substrate, a fluorine-doped tin oxide film using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used in addition to the ITO film described above.

What was 1.8 to 1.9 when the temperature was 00 ° C or higher, increased to 2.0 to 2.1 when the substrate temperature was around 100 ° C. As a result, the color difference between the portion with the ITO electrode and the portion without the ITO electrode becomes large, and the ITO electrode becomes visible when the cell is formed into an LCD (hereinafter,

The electrode portion and the portion where the ITO film is removed by etching are shown in (a) and (b), respectively, showing the incident light and the reflected light of the A portion and the B portion, respectively.

In contrast to the following color difference, in the case of using a plastic substrate, when the thickness of the ITO film exceeds 40 nm, the color difference Δ
E * ab shows a value of 4 or more, and as a result, the ITO electrode can be seen, that is, the bone appearance phenomenon of the ITO electrode becomes noticeable, and the display quality of the LCD is deteriorated.

度限界より、該絶縁中間膜を用いることができない。The first difference between the case where the conventional glass is used as the substrate and the case where the resin substrate according to the present invention is used is as follows.
When a glass substrate is used, an insulating intermediate film having a refractive index of about 1.75 is inserted between the ITO electrode and the alignment film in order to reduce the insulating property in the liquid crystal cell and the bone appearance phenomenon. Since the firing temperature for forming the insulating intermediate film is about 250 ° C., the insulating intermediate film cannot be used in the case of a plastic substrate due to its heat resistant temperature limit.

率を低減することは困難である。Secondly, the ITO thin film formed on the glass substrate at a substrate temperature of 200 ° C. or higher has a polycrystalline structure and has a high carrier density of 10 20 to 10 21 cm -3 .
The refractive index is a point of 1.8 to 1.9. Generally, the resin substrate can heat the substrate only up to about 100 ° C. due to its heat resistant temperature limit, the ITO thin film has an amorphous structure, and the carrier electron density is low. Therefore, the refractive index rises to 2.0 to 2.1, and it is difficult to reduce the refractive index at present.

That is, compared to a glass substrate with a refractive index of 1.5, LCD
The refractive index of the resin substrate used for the purpose is 1.59 for polycarbonate, 1.58 for polyethylene terephthalate,
Generally, it is high at 1.65 for polyether sulfone, 1.61 for polyarylate, and 1.54 for amorphous polyolefin.

By inserting an intermediate refractive index layer having an intermediate refractive index (1.65 to 1.85) of 5) and having a film thickness of 50 nm to 100 nm, the ITO electrode portion A and the ITO electrode of the LCD structure are formed. The optical interference condition that the color difference with the non-existing portion B becomes small can be satisfied, and as a result, the bone appearance phenomenon of the ITO electrode can be reduced.
