- a technique in which a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor such as zinc oxide or In—Ga—Zn—O is manufactured and applied to a liquid crystal display element has attracted attention (see Patent Document 1). Since a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor has higher field-effect mobility than a thin film transistor using a silicon-based material, performance of the display element can be improved and power saving can be achieved. Therefore, vigorous developments such as adoption of an array using a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor continue in liquid crystal element manufacturers.

The characteristics of the liquid crystal display element due to the impurities in the alignment film material are being studied.

(薄膜トランジスタ)
本発明においては、薄膜トランジスタが逆スタガード型である液晶表示素子に好適に使用できる。逆スタガード型の薄膜トランジスタの構造の好適な一態様は、例えば、図3で示すように、基板102上に形成されたゲート電極111と、当該ゲート電極111を覆い、且つ前記基板102の略全面を覆うように設けられたゲート絶縁層112と、前記ゲート電極111と対向するよう前記ゲート絶縁層12の表面に形成された半導体層113と、前記半導体層113の一方の側端部を覆い、かつ前記基板102上に形成された前記ゲート絶縁層112と接触するように設けられたドレイン電極116と、前記半導体層113の他方の側端部を覆い、かつ前記基板102表面に形成された前記ゲート絶縁層112と接触するように設けられたソース電極117と、前記ドレイン電極116および前記ソース電極117を覆うように設けられた絶縁保護層118と、を有している。ゲート電極111の表面にゲート電極との段差を無くす等の理由により陽極酸化被膜(図示せず)を形成してもよい。
酸化物半導体層113は、単結晶、多結晶、CAAC(C Axis Aligned Crystal)または非晶質などの状態をとる。酸化物半導体層113は、CAAC-OS(C Axis Aligned Crystalline Oxide Semiconductor)膜とすることが好ましい。酸化物半導体膜を構成する酸素の一部は窒素で置換されてもよい。
酸化物半導体を用いた薄膜トランジスタは、オフ状態における電流値(オフ電流値)を低くすることができる、画像信号等の電気信号の保持時間を長くすることができ、電源オン状態では書き込み間隔も長く設定できる。よって、リフレッシュ動作の頻度を少なくすることができるため、消費電力を抑制する効果を奏する。また、酸化物半導体膜を用いたトランジスタは、高い電界効果移動度が得られるため、高速駆動が可能である。また、従来よりも薄膜トランジスタの小型化が可能になるため、1画素あたりの透過量を高めることができる。よって、液晶表示素子の画素部に酸化物半導体を用いたトランジスタを用いることで、高画質な画像を提供することができる。さらに、酸化物半導体として透明半導体膜を用いると、光吸収に起因する光キャリアの弊害を抑制できるため、素子の開口率を増大する観点からも好ましい。
(透明電極)
本発明の液晶表示素子において、画素電極121、透明電極(層)106(または共通電極106)に用いられる透明電極の材料としては、導電性の金属酸化物を用いることができ、金属酸化物としては酸化インジウム(In2O3)、酸化スズ(SnO2)、酸化亜鉛(ZnO)、酸化インジウムスズ(In2O3―SnO2)、酸化インジウム亜鉛(In2O3―ZnO)、ニオブ添加二酸化チタン(Ti1-xNbxO2)、フッ素ドープ酸化スズ、グラフェンナノリボン又は金属ナノワイヤー等が使用できるが、酸化亜鉛(ZnO)、酸化インジウムスズ(In2O3―SnO2)又は酸化インジウム亜鉛(In2O3―ZnO)が好ましい。これらの透明導電膜のパターニングには、フォト・エッチング法やマスクを用いる方法などを使用することができる。
(カラーフィルタ)
カラーフィルタ107は、ブラックマトリックス及び少なくともRGB三色画素部から構成される。また、当該カラーフィルタ107は、光の漏れを防止する観点で、薄膜トランジスタおよびストレイジキャパシタ123に対応する部分にブラックマトリックス(図示せず)を形成することが好ましい。
(配向膜)
本発明の液晶表示素子において、第一の基板と、第二の基板上の液晶組成物と接する面には液晶組成物を配向させるため、配向膜を必要とする液晶表示素子においてはカラーフィルタと液晶層間に配置することができるが、配向膜の膜厚が厚いものでも100nm以下と薄いため、酸化物半導体層113から脱離した酸素が液晶層5に拡散してしまうことを完全に防止し得るものでは無い。
