Display element
View Patent ↗A thin film transistor layer including a thin film transistor is formed at a liquid crystal layer side of a color filter layer on an array substrate. Since it becomes possible to form the color filter layer at a position on a relatively flat glass substrate, satisfactory characteristics of the color filter layer can be obtained. The color filter layer is unlikely to have influence on the thin film transistor layer, so that the yield can be improved.
1. A display element having a plurality of pixels, comprising:
a first substrate;
a colored layer on the first substrate, the colored layer including colored portions corresponding to the pixels;
a switching element layer on the first substrate, the switching element layer including a plurality of switching elements for respectively and independently driving the pixels;
a light modulation layer on the colored layer and the switching element layer; and
a second substrate on the light modulation layer.
2. The display element according to claim 1 , comprising at least one or more transparent thin film layers formed between the colored layer and the switching element layer.
3. The display element according to claim 2 , wherein
the thin film layer is a flattening layer of the colored layer.
4. The display element according to claim 2 , wherein
the thin film layer is a barrier layer for preventing foreign matter from intruding into the switching element layer.
5. The display element according to claim 1 , wherein
the light modulation layer is a liquid crystal layer.
6. The display element according to claim 1 , wherein
the switching elements comprise a thin film transistor.
