Abstract

It is to suppress the interference of the reflected light easily and securely even in a highly fine liquid crystal display device. The reflection plate comprises recessed or protruded parts and a reflection film formed over the recessed or protruded parts. A unit shape of the recessed or protruded parts is a polygon, an arbitrary point other than a centroid of the polygon that constitutes the recessed or protrude part is placed at a position that meets with an orderly-mannered lattice point as an origin, and each of the unit-shape polygons is arranged at a position that is rotated randomly with respect to the origin.

Claims (8)

1. A manufacturing method of a reflection plate which includes recessed or protruded parts and a reflection film formed over the recessed or protruded parts, wherein

a photosensitive organic film is exposed, developed, and baked by using a mask that is formed in such a manner that: a polygon for forming the recessed or protruded parts is set as a unit shape; an arbitrary point other than a centroid of the polygon that constitutes the recessed or protrude part is taken as an origin, and the unit shape is placed such that the origin meets with an orderly-mannered lattice point; and each of the unit-shape polygons is arranged while being rotated randomly with respect to the origin, and

the reflection film is formed over the recessed or protruded parts which have been exposed, developed, and baked.

2. The manufacturing method of the reflection plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recessed or protruded parts are formed into a substantially circular shape by applying heat treatment after the development.

3. The manufacturing method of the reflection plate as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of about 100-300° C.

4. The manufacturing method of the reflection plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recessed or protruded parts are formed into a substantially circular shape by being exposed to a medical fluid, vapor of the medical fluid, or both after the development.

5. The manufacturing method of the reflection plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein Al, Ag, or an alloy of Al and Ag is used for the reflection film.

6. The manufacturing method of the reflection plate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two or more kinds of transmittance are set for the unit shapes on the mask.
