20080316410 | DISPLAY DEVICE - To provide display devices with improved image quality and reliability or display devices with a large screen at low cost with high productivity, an electrode layer containing a conductive polymer is used as an electrode layer for a display element, and the concentration of ionic impurities contained in the electrode layer containing a conductive polymer is reduced (preferably to 100 ppm or less). Ionic impurities are ionized, and easily become mobile ions, and they deteriorate a liquid crystal layer or an electroluminescent layer, which is used for a display element. Therefore, an electrode layer containing a conductive polymer, in which such ionic impurities are reduced is provided; thus, reliability of the display device can be improved. | 12-25-2008 |
20090002615 | DISPLAY DEVICE - To manufacture display devices with improved image quality and reliability or display devices with a large screen at low cost with high productivity. An electrode layer containing a conductive polymer is used as an electrode layer of a display element in a display device and an inorganic insulating film serving as a passivation film is provided between the electrode layer and a display layer. Ionic impurities in the electrode layer are easily ionized and become mobile ions and thereby deteriorating a liquid crystal material or the like which is included in a display layer in a display element. Ionic impurities in the electrode layer are prevented from moving into a display layer by the inorganic insulating film. Thus, the reliability of the display device can be improved. | 01-01-2009 |
20090008667 | METHOD FOR FORMING PATTERN, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, AND LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE - Oxidation treatment is performed to the surface of a substrate provided with a photocatalytic conductive film and an insulating film; treatment with a silane coupling agent is performed, so that a silane coupling agent film is formed and the surface of the substrate is modified to be liquid-repellent; and the surface of the substrate is irradiated with light of a wavelength (less than to equal to 390 nm) which has energy of greater than or equal to a band gap of a material for forming the photocatalytic conductive film, so that only the silane coupling agent film over the surface of the photocatalytic conductive film is decomposed and the surface of the photocatalytic conductive film can be modified to be lyophilic. | 01-08-2009 |
20090096364 | Display Device and Method for Manufacturing Display Device - To provide a display device with higher image quality and reliability or a large-sized display device with a large screen at low cost with high productivity. A function layer (such as a coloring layer or a pixel electrode layer) used in the display device is formed by discharging a liquid function-layer-forming material to an opening formed with a layer including a first organic compound which has a C—N bond or a C—O bond in the main chain as a base and a layer including a second organic compound as a partition. The fluorine density exhibiting liquid repellency to the liquid function-layer-forming material, which is attached to a surface of the layers including organic compounds, is controlled, whereby a liquid repellent region and a lyophilic region can be selectively formed. | 04-16-2009 |
20090109388 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - To control the positioning of a spacer more accurately in a liquid crystal display device to prevent display defects due to incorrect positioning in a display region. To provide a liquid crystal display device with higher image quality and reliability, and to provide a method for manufacturing the liquid crystal display device with high yield. In a liquid crystal display device, a region onto which a spherical spacer is discharged is subjected to liquid-repellent treatment in order to reduce the wettability with respect to a liquid in which the spherical spacer is dispersed. The liquid (the droplet) does not spread over the liquid-repellent region and is dried while moving the spherical spacer toward the center of the liquid. Thus, incorrect positioning shortly after discharging, which has been caused by the loss of control in the liquid, can be corrected by moving the spherical spacer while drying the liquid. | 04-30-2009 |

A gate electrode is formed over a substrate and a gate insulating layer is formed over the gate electrode. A first semiconductor layer is formed over the gate insulating layer by generating plasma using a deposition gas containing silicon or germanium, hydrogen, and a rare gas.

Then, a semiconductor layer to which an impurity imparting one conductivity is added is formed and a conductive film is formed. Thus, a thin film transistor is manufactured. | 05-20-2010 |

20130126861 | INSULATING FILM, FORMATION METHOD THEREOF, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - An amorphous region with low density is formed in an oxide insulating film containing zirconium. The amount of oxygen released from such an oxide insulating film containing zirconium by heating is large and a temperature at which oxygen is released is higher in the oxide insulating film than in a conventional oxide film (e.g., a silicon oxide film). When the insulating film is formed using a sputtering target containing zirconium in an oxygen atmosphere, the temperature of a surface on which the insulating film is formed may be controlled to be lower than a temperature at which a film to be formed starts to crystallize. | 05-23-2013 |
