    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a method of manufacturing an interlayer insulating layer which can prevent the continuous growth of pin holes, when preparing a multilayer insulating layer and hence prevent short-circuiting defects between upper and lower interconnection layers, and which can prevent damages such as sagging of layer patterns during sintering and hence prevent defective interconnections. SOLUTION: Element electrodes 1 and 2 are arrayed on a substrate 9 (a), and Y-direction interconnections 4 are formed, while being connected to the electrodes 1 (b). Interlayer insulating layers 51 are formed so as to cross the interconnections 4, and second and third insulating layers 52 and 53 are formed (c). Insulating materials forming the respective layers are such that an insulating material forming the intermediate layer has a lower softening point than those of the uppermost and lowermost layers. Sintering is performed at a temperature, which is higher than the softening point of the intermediate layer 52 and which is substantially equal to the softening point of an insulating material forming the layer immediately thereunder. X-direction interconnections 6 are formed on the uppermost layer 53 (d). Then, interconnections 7 to be connected to the electrodes 2 are formed, and conductive thin films 3 are formed between the electrodes 1 and 2 (e). During the sintering of the layer 52, the layer 52 softens appropriately, while the layer 51 immediately thereunder is hardly softened.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal element having a large driving margin, excellent durability, high precision and high quality by forming an orientation controlling film on at least one of a pair of substrates and incorporating a polymer surfactant into at least one orientation controlling film. SOLUTION: A liquid crystal layer 1 comprising a liquid crystal compsn. is held between a pair of substrates 2a, 2b facing each other. Orientation controlling films 4a, 4b are formed on one or both of the substrates 2a, 2b, and at least one orientation controlling film of the orientation controlling films 4a, 4b contains a polymer surfactant as a component. As for the polymer surfactant, a cationic polymer surfactant is preferably used, and the mol.wt. of the polymer surfactant is preferably large to a certain degree or more, considering good binding property and non-bleeding property. Therefore, the weight average mol.wt. of the polymer is preferably >=1000. The polymer surfactant is introduced into the orientation controlling film by mixing into the film is formed. Especially, a polyimide can be especially preferably introduced since it has high controlling performance for uniaxial orientation.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal element having a large driving margin and resistance against burning with time by forming an orientation controlling film on at least one of a pair of substrates and incorporating a cationic surfactant into at least one orientation controlling film. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal element consists of a pair of substrates 2a, 2b and a liquid crystal layer 1 comprising a chiral smectic liquid crystal compsn. showing at least two stable states held between the substrates. An orientation controlling film 4a subjected to uniaxial orientation treatment is formed on one of the pair of substrates 2a, 2b, for example, on the substrate 2a, while an orientation controlling film 4b without uniaxial orientation treatment is formed on the other substrate 2b. The orientation controlling film 4a with uniaxial orientation treatment preferably consists of a polyimide, while the orientation controlling film 4b without uniaxial orientation treatment preferably consists of a silane coupling agent or the like. By using the orientation controlling film containing a cationic surfactant as above described, ionic or polar impurities which are present in the liquid crystal layer 1 and induce deterioration in driving can be passivated or inactivated.
