20140092365 | SPACE IMAGE FORMING ELEMENT, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND TERMINAL - To provide a space image forming element realizing higher reflectance and larger area by making aperture ratio and transmittance higher and a method of manufacturing the same, thereby realizing high reflectance and, as a result, formation of an image having high brightness in the air. In a space image forming element of the present invention, a light transmission region is configured by a transparent pattern formed by exposure process using a transparent resist. By forming a metal layer between adjacent transparent patterns, a mirror-face region is formed in the interface between a side wall of the transparent pattern and the metal layer. The metal layer has a two-layer structure. The second metal layer is formed by electroplating using the metal in the first layer as an electrode. | 04-03-2014 |
