Abstract: A test method for a secondary battery, which early detects the occurrence of the future micro short-circuiting in the screening and promotes to render the contaminant harmless while suppressing the short-circuiting between the positive and negative electrodes in the aging, is provided. This test method includes Step S12 of charging the secondary battery, Steps S13 and S14 of aging the secondary battery in a first pressed state, Step S17 of measuring a battery voltage (V1) after the aging, Step S18 of screening the secondary battery in a second pressed state with a higher pressure than in the first pressed state, and Step S19 of measuring a battery voltage (V2) after the screening. Whether the battery has the internal short-circuiting or not is determined (Step S20) based on the difference between the voltage (V1) measured in Step S17 and the voltage (V2) measured in Step S19.

Abstract: A method of forming a polycrystalline semiconductor film, which includes irradiating an amorphous semiconductor film formed on an insulating substrate with light to convert the amorphous semiconductor into a polycrystalline semiconductor with laterally grown crystal grains, thus forming a polycrystalline semiconductor film, wherein crystal growth in the semiconductor is controlled such that first crystal grains laterally grow in the first direction along a X-axis from the first group of initial nuclei, the second crystal grains laterally grow in the second direction opposite to the first direction along the X-axis from the second group of initial nuclei arranged apart from the first group of initial nuclei along the X-axis, and the first crystal grains collide against the second crystal grains at different points in time along a Y-axis.

Abstract: On a poly-silicon layer formed on a glass substrate, a gate electrode is formed via a gate insulation film. After forming an impurity-doped region in the poly-silicon layer using the gate electrode as a mask, an insulation layer is formed on the gate electrode and an insulation film is then formed covering these. At this stage, a step which is low in a periphery of the gate electrode but high in a center of the gate electrode is formed in the surface of the insulation layer which formed on the gate electrode, ensuring that the insulation layer and the insulation film on the center of the gate electrode attain a higher reflectance of laser beam than the insulation film and the gate insulation layer on the impurity-doped region do.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescence (EL) display unit includes a plurality of pixels formed on a glass substrate and each including a TFT area and a luminescence area. An edge cover film covers the TFT area and exposes the luminescence area through a window formed in the edge cover film. The edge of the edge cover film adjacent to the window has a taper angle equal to or smaller than 30 degrees. This taper angle is obtained by a post-baking treatment in addition to a step alleviating film formed in the luminescence area to underlie the organic EL element.
