Abstract
A liquid crystal display unit is used that has data lines made of a molybdenum-alloyed film having a chromium content from 2 wt. % or more, but up to 5 wt. %, or a molybdenum-alloyed film lamination (Mo—Cr) consisting of a first electroconductive film and a second electroconductive film, with the first electroconductive film having a chromium content from 2 wt. % or more, but up to 5 wt. % and the second electroconductive film being provided above the first electroconductive film and containing less chromium than the first electroconductive film does. The use of the data lines composed of these materials enables the following requirements to be satisfied: high dry-etching resistance, low resistance, low ACF contact resistance, low side etching rates, forward tapered wiring cross-sectional shape, and up to two lamination layers.
