Abstract: A process for treatment of water containing an azole-type anticorrosive for copper, includes adding ferrous ions to the water containing the azole-type anticorrosive for copper and having a pH of 4-8, thereby precipitating an insoluble iron-azole complex, and separating the insoluble iron-azole complex. An amount of the ferrous ions added is 0.5 to 5.0 times, by molar ratio, an amount of the azole-type anticorrosive for copper in the water containing the azole-type anticorrosive for copper. After the insoluble iron-azole complex is separated, remaining total organic carbon (TOC) components are subjected to an ozone treatment.

Abstract: Provided is a process for efficiently removing an azole-type anticorrosive for copper from water containing the azole-type anticorrosive for copper, such as wastewater discharged from a CMP step in a fabrication process of a semiconductor device. Ferrous ions are added to water containing an azole-type anticorrosive for copper, and a resulting insoluble iron-azole complex is separated. After the insoluble iron-azole complex is separated, the remaining TOC components are subjected to ozonolysis. The azole-type anticorrosive for copper can be efficiently insolubilized in the form of an iron-azole complex using ferrous ions, and flocculation/solid-liquid separation can be performed. The water after removal of the insoluble matter formed by the addition of ferrous ions is water from which not only the azole-type anticorrosive for copper but also suspended solids have been removed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which is capable of suppressing wavy brightness irregularity which occurs in a display screen edge portion in the vicinity of drivers or tape carrier packages (TCPs) on which the drivers are mounted, owing to the mounting of the drivers or the TCPs. In one example of the present invention, a wavy pattern for preventing brightness irregularity is partially formed along one edge of a light guide plate in the vicinity of drivers mounted on a substrate which constitutes a liquid crystal display panel. Similar effects and advantages are obtained even if this wavy pattern for preventing brightness irregularity is formed on a reflecting sheet arranged on the side of the liquid guide plate opposite to the liquid crystal display panel, or on a diffusion sheet inserted between the light guide plate and the liquid crystal display panel.
