Patent number: 5539326Abstract: A method of testing if the wiring or state of a TFT and LCD is abnormal includes the following steps: In a first operation, a TFT is turned on for a given time period to charge the cell capacitor connected to an LCD through the data line thereof. Next, the TFT is turned off, maintaining the charged condition. Then, the TFT is turned on again for a given time period T to release the stored electric charge through the source, drain and a grounded resistor. Changes with time in the output of source current (i.sub.1) or voltage (V.sub.1) induced by the discharge are input into a computer. In a second operation, the TFT is turned on for a given time period without charging the cell capacitor through the data line. After turning off the TFT for the same time as the first operation, the TFT is turned on again for a given time period to release the stored charge through the source, drain and grounded resistor. Then, changes with time in the output of source current i.sub.2 or source voltage V.sub.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1994Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: Tohken Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isamu Takahashi, Tadashi Oshimi
