Abstract
Abstract A liquid crystal color display device comprises a two-layer structured transparent electrode (5) in an identical pattern provided on a transparent substrate (1) forming a liquid crystal; a color filter membrane (6) disposed between said two-layered transparent electrodes (5a,5b) by an electrically setting method; and a plurality of pinholes (13) of a size less than 50 µm formed in a same number on each display part at the equal distance to each other in a smaller distance than the pitch between each display part, through which said first layer (5a) and second layer (5b) of the transparent electrode are electrically connected to each other. The manufacturing process comprises forming a first layer electrode (5a); forming photoresists and coating a color filter membrane (6); forming a pluraility of pinholes (13) in a dot form; forming a second layer transparent electrode (5b) through three steps of tentative, main and repeating baking treatments and connecting electrically the two layers (5a,5b) of the electrode (5) via the pinholes (13).
