Abstract: An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) fitted with an EGIP (Electric Graphic Input Panel) is provided. The LCD includes a crystal panel, a light plate, and a light source, which are encased in a case. The EGIP is fitted over the liquid crystal panel and the case. Eventually, a dead space in the range of 6-7 mm is secured to permit an easy repair of the EGIP, to prevent electric short occurrence of the touch panel electrodes, and to allow formation of a touch panel electrode with more than five lines.

Abstract: In the typical LCD device, the ON/OFF inspection is performed by unit cell. However, in the case of the small size LCD device, since the liquid crystal cell substrate has many unit cells, the total inspection time is too long and the long handling time contributes to increasing the number of inferior cells. To solve these problems, the ON/OFF inspection of the liquid crystal cell for the small size LCD device having many unit cells is simultaneously performed for the entire liquid crystal cell substrate before cutting into the unit cells. Thus, the number of damaged cells during the inspection process and the process time can be reduced, and the yield can increase.

Abstract: A color filter substrate includes a black matrix and red, green and blue color filters. The color filter substrate has an identification mark formed in the black matrix such that the information about the color filter substrate is easily recognized. The identification mark includes such information as the manufacturer, color filter type, fabrication method and/or type of black matrix.
