Patent number: 10026786Abstract: A display device comprising a display region on which a plurality of subpixels are arranged. The plurality of subpixels respectively comprise a transistor, a first organic insulating film, an inorganic insulating film, an electrode, and a second organic insulating film that covers an edge part of a first region in which a pattern of the electrode is formed. The inorganic film comprises an opening in a region that overlaps with the second region in which a pattern of the electrode is not formed in a planar view. The opening is formed in a middle between the first region of a first subpixel and the first region of a second subpixel or at a point located on the side closer to the first subpixel between the first region of the first subpixel and the first region of the second subpixel.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Japan Display Inc.Inventors: Ikuo Matsunaga, Kenta Kajiyama

Publication number: 20070195217Abstract: An intermediate portion of a low voltage power supply wire is extinguished by irradiation of a laser beam to form a wire cut portion. A different potential portion serves as the wire cut portion of the low voltage power supply wire. The distance between the end portions of a high voltage power supply wire and the low voltage power supply wire between which the potential is different is increased. An electrical short-circuit between the high voltage power supply wire and the low voltage power supply wire hardly occurs. Even when impurities invade into the gap between an insulating layer on the high voltage power supply wire and the low voltage power supply wire and a glass substrate, electrode corrosion of the high voltage power supply wire and the low voltage power supply wire can be prevented. A display failure can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2007Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Kiyoshi Miyashita, Ikuo Matsunaga, Masashi Ishimaru, Yoshihito Nakawaga, Masaki Seto, Jun Hanari

Patent number: 6873174Abstract: A first signal line and a second signal line are paired, and in one signal line selection period, CPU of the inspection circuit controls a write circuit and writes analog signals into the first signal line selected by means of a switch of the selection circuit. In the next signal line selection period, CPU controls a read circuit and reads output signals from the second signal line selected by means of the switch. CPU detects a short circuit between the paired signal lines based upon the output signals from the second signal line.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2001Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Ikuo Matsunaga, Ryoichi Watanabe, Masahiro Seiki
