  • Patent number: 5418636
    Abstract: A liquid crystal image display device is disclosed of a type comprising a first transparent insulating substrate having a plurality of scanning line, a plurality of signal lines and an insulated-gate transistor for each pixel and a pixel electrode for each pixel, a second transparent insulating substrate having a transparent electroconductive counterelectrode and positioned spaced a predetermined distance from the first substrate to define a chamber therebetween, and a liquid crystal material filled in the chamber. When a drain wiring connecting a drain of the insulated-gate transistor with the associated pixel electrode and each of said signal lines are formed, a connecting layer that connects between the drain wiring and the associated signal line is formed, followed by depositing a metallic layer, containing aluminum as a main component, over the connecting layer.

  • Patent number: 4807973
    Abstract: A rescue line (18) is provided around the pixel part having display elements disposed on cross points of scanning lines (1) and signal lines (2) disposed vertically to the scanning lines (1): When one of the scanning lines (1) or the signal lines (2) is broken, the rescue line (18) is connected to both ends of the break line by the bonding pads for feeding the signal to the break line, and thereby defective function is restored.
