Abstract:
Opening portions (opening patterns) having different arrangement pitches and sizes are formed in first metal film patterns, a first semiconductor film, second metal film patterns, a third insulating film, and the like under a reflective electrode, respectively. These opening portions overlap each other complexly to form fine bumps and dips in the surface of the reflective electrode. Further, the opening portions can be formed in the first metal film patterns, the first semiconductor film, and the second metal film patterns simultaneously with the formation of TFTs. Accordingly, an increase in the number of steps can be avoided.

The present invention relates to a thin film transistor device formed on an insulating substrate of a liquid crystal display device and others, a method of manufacturing the same, and a liquid crystal display device. In structure, there are provided the steps of forming a negative photoresist film on a first insulating film for covering a first island-like semiconductor film, forming a resist mask that has an opening portion in an inner region with respect to a periphery of the first island-like semiconductor film by exposing/developing the negative photoresist film from a back surface side of a transparent substrate, etching the first insulating film in the opening portion of the resist mask, forming a second insulating film for covering the first insulating film and a conductive film thereon, and forming a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode by patterning the conductive film.

Abstract:
By circular or polygonal openings formed in at least one of a metal film, a semiconductor film, an insulating film and the like, which films are below a reflecting electrode, minute irregularities are densely formed on a surface of the reflecting electrode. In this case, it is required that a linear density defined by peripheral dimensions of the openings per unit area is equal to 0.2 or more.

The liquid crystal display comprises a first substrate 2 including a gate bus line 12a, a data bus line 28, a thin film transistor 18 formed near an intersection between the gate bus line 12a and the data bus line 28, and a pixel electrode 52 including a transmission electrode 32a electrically connected to the thin film transistor 18 and a reflection electrode 48b electrically connected to the transmission electrode 32a; a second substrate 4 opposed to the first substrate 2 and including an opposed electrode 68 opposed to the pixel electrode 52; and a liquid crystal layer 6 sealed between the first substrate 2 and the second substrate 4. The reflection electrode 48b is formed over another gate bus line 12b which is different from the gate bus line 12a, with an insulation layer 40 formed therebetween. The decrease of a voltage applied between the reflection electrode 48b and the opposed electrode 68 can be prevented while the space which can be not used as the transmission region can be utilized. Thus, the area decrease of the transmission part is prevented while the area of the reflection part can be increased, whereby a reflective transmission type liquid crystal display of higher display quality can be provided.
