Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a differently shaped polarizing plate, the method being capable of preventing a decrease in durability. The method for producing a differently shaped polarizing plate of the present invention includes a step of forming a differently shaped portion by moving at least one of a rectangular polarizing plate and an end mill blade while the end mill blade is rotated and pressed against the rectangular polarizing plate to cut the rectangular polarizing plate. Preferably, the step is performed while a jig is pressed against the rectangular polarizing plate, at the periphery of a region to be cut.

Abstract: A terminal section for anodic oxidation made of a metal which is the same kind of a metal as a light shielding film is formed on an end of a light transmitting substrate. Then, wiring space for the terminal section for anodic oxidation is masked, and a first insulating film, a semiconductor layer and a second insulating film are deposited by the sputtering method or the CVD method, for example. Moreover, an electrically conductive material to be a gate electrode is laminated and patterned on the second insulating film and the terminal section for anodic oxidation so that the wiring space for the terminal section for anodic oxidation is exposed. As a result, the gate electrode which is electrically connected to the terminal section for anodic oxidation is formed. By making wiring in the wiring space for the terminal section for anodic oxidation, the gate electrode is anodically oxidized.
