  • Publication number: 20150253669
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fine pattern-forming composition enabling to form a resist pattern having high dry etching resistance, and also provides a pattern formation method using that composition. This formation method hardly causes pipe blockages in the production process. The composition is used for miniaturizing a resist pattern by fattening in a process of forming a negative resist pattern from a chemically amplified resist composition, and comprises a polymer containing a repeating unit having a hydroxyaryl group and an organic solvent not dissolving the negative resist pattern. In the formation method, the fine pattern-forming composition and the resist composition are individually cast with the same coating apparatus, so as to prevent pipe blockages.

    Abstract: Each image signal line S is connected alternately to a plurality of sub-pixels P positioned on one side of the image signal line S and a plurality of sub-pixels P positioned on the other side. During one frame period, image signals having either one of the positive and negative polarities are input to the first, third, fourth, and sixth image signal lines S1, S3, S4, and S6 of the eight image signal lines S1 to S8 that constitute a unit array of the image signal lines during one frame period, while image signals having the other polarity are input to the remaining image signal lines S2, S5, S7, and S8. According to this liquid crystal display device, it is possible to prevent flicker in image and to prevent the common electrode position from becoming different from the base potential, while preventing increase of power consumption.
