Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit lower cost even in a large area by having solution of organosiloxane or silicon alkoxide compound as a main element coated on a transparent conductive film of a metallic oxide group and fired under a specified condition to form a protective coat of silicon oxide. CONSTITUTION:Solution 3 of organosiloxane or silicon alkoxide compound as a main element is coated on a transparent conductive layer 2 (such as ITO) of a metallic oxide group, and then fired at a temperature within 450-530 deg.C and under a nitrogen atmosphere to form a silicon oxide protective coat 4. As a result, the silicon oxide(SiO2) protective coat 4 can be formed which permits the longer life and better stability of a liquid crystal display without increasing the resistance value of the transparent conductive film 2. In this way, manufacture is simple enough to coat and dry the solution including silicon compound by a dip or print method and so it is possible to use a comparatively low cost manufacturing facility even in a large area, improve productivity and realize lower cost manufacture.
