  • 202, a color filter 203, a planarization film (overcoat layer) 201, and a transparent electrode 204 are provided, and a second alignment film 205 is provided thereon, and is provided between the front plane facing the back plane and the substrate.
  • a sealing material 301 and a liquid crystal layer 303 sealed in a sealing region surrounded by the sealing material, and protrusions (columnar spacers) 302 and 304 are provided on a substrate surface in contact with the sealing material 301. The specific aspect of a liquid crystal display element is shown.
  • the first substrate or the second substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is substantially transparent, and glass, ceramics, plastics, or the like can be used.
  • Plastic substrates include cellulose derivatives such as cellulose, triacetyl cellulose, diacetyl cellulose, polycycloolefin derivatives, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.
  • Inorganic-organic composite materials such as glass fiber-acrylic resin can be used.
  • the function of the barrier film is to reduce the moisture permeability of the plastic substrate and to improve the reliability of the electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display element.
  • the barrier film is not particularly limited as long as it has high transparency and low water vapor permeability. Generally, vapor deposition, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition method (CVD method) using an inorganic material such as silicon oxide is used. ) Is used.
  • the same material or different materials may be used as the first substrate or the second substrate, and there is no particular limitation.
  • Use of a glass substrate is preferable because a liquid crystal display element having excellent heat resistance and dimensional stability can be produced.
  • a plastic substrate is preferable because it is suitable for a manufacturing method using a roll-to-roll method and is suitable for weight reduction or flexibility. For the purpose of imparting flatness and heat resistance, good results can be obtained by combining a plastic substrate and a glass substrate.
  • a substrate is used as the material of the first substrate 100 or the second substrate 200.
  • the TFT layer 102 and the pixel electrode 103 are provided on the first substrate 100. These are manufactured by a normal array process.
  • a backplane is obtained by providing a passivation film 104 and a first alignment film 105 thereon.
