Abstract

A method of forming a colored film includes a step of forming a substrate for electrodeposition by laminating at least a transparent conductive film and a thin transparent photosemiconductor film having a photovoltaic function in this order on the surface of a support having an electronic circuit materialthereon, and a step of irradiating with a light at least a thin photosemiconductor film of the substrate for electrodeposition while bringing the same into contact with an aqueous electrolyte containing an electrodeposition material containing a colorant, thereby selectively generating a photoelectromotive force to an irradiated area of the thin photosemiconductor film and electrochemically depositing the electrodeposition material to form a colored electrodeposition film; an electronic driving device containing the colored film and a liquid crystal display device having the electronic driving device, the method capable of forming the colored film of high quality and excellent surface smoothness being formed directly on a substrate having thin film transistor and capable of providing a high quality electronic driving device and a liquid crystal display device at low cost.
