Abstract
Abstract A liquid crystal color display device comprises: a two-layer structured transparent electrode in an identical pattern provided on a transparent substrate forming a liquid crystal; a color filter membrane disposed between said two-layered transparent electrodes by an electrically setting method; and a plurality of pinholes of a size less than 50 mu m 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 and second layer of the transparent electrode are electrically connected to each other. The process for manufacturing the liquid crystal color display device comprises: forming a first layer electrode; forming photoresists and coating a color filter membrane; forming a plurality of pinholes in a dot form; forming a second layer transparent electrode through three steps of tentative, main and repeating baking treatments and connecting electrically the two layers of the electrode via the pinholes.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
A liquid crystal color display device comprising: a two-layer structured transparent electrodes in an identical pattern provided on a transparent sustrate forming a liquid crystal; color filter membranes disposed between said two-layered transparent electrodes by an electrical setting method; and a plurlaity of pinholes formed on said color filter membrane, through which said first layer and second layer transparent electrodes are electrically connected to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A liquid crystal color display device as claimed in claim 1 in which said pinholes are provided in a same number on each display part laminated on said transparent electrode and color filter membranes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A liquid crystal color display device as claimed in claim 1 in which said pinholes are provided at an equal distance to each other and said distance is smaller than the distance between each display part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A liquid crystal color display device as claimed in claim 1 or 3 in which said pinholes are in the size of less than 50 μm in diameter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
166 words
A process for manufacturing a liquid crystal color display device comprising the steps of: forming by a photoetching method a first layer electrode on a transparent substrate of a liquid crystal cell; forming photoresists in a dot form on the first layer transparent electrode by a photolithographic method and coating a color filter membrane afterward by an electric setting method; forming a plurality of pinholes in a dot form on the color filter membranes by removing the photoresists after heating the transparent substrate within a tentative baking temperature in which said photoresists dissolve but the color filter membranes do not dissolve in the dissolving solution; heating the substrate at the main baking temperature which hardens the color filter membranes formed with pinholes; forming a second layer transparent electrode on the hardened color filter membranes by the photoetching method utilizing a photo mask the same as the one used for forming the first layer transparent electrode; and the two-layered transparent electrodes being connected electrically through said pinholes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
