  • Publication number: 20190235338
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, regions where a short circuit may have occurred due to dividing are isolated from a display region. In a gate line (13G) of an nth row, a gate line detour section (50G) that is provided corresponding to an intersection (CG,n,m) with a source line (15S) of an mth column has: a start section (51G) which is bent toward the ?Y direction from a start position (XG,m(1), YG,n) that is in the ?X direction relative to the intersection; and straddling sections (52G) which straddle a straight line (X=XS,m+dS/2) that passes through a +X direction end of the intersection and extends in the Y axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20190033638
    Abstract: A method of producing a liquid crystal panel 10 having a non-quadrangular outline includes a common liquid crystal panel producing process, a cutting process of cutting the common liquid crystal panel 50 along a cutting line L10 that is along the outline such that a part of the sealing material 54 is removed and a remaining part of the sealing material 54 remains and forming on the common liquid crystal panel 50 a sealing material removed edge portion 50A at which the part of the sealing material 54 is removed to expose the liquid crystal layer 51, a line correction process of correcting the lines 55, 56, 59 near the processed edge portion 53E of the array substrate 53, and a sealing process of providing sealing resin R on the sealing material removed edge portion 50A to close a space between the processed edge portions 52E, 53E of the substrates and seal the liquid crystal layer 51 with the remaining part of the sealing material 54.

  • Publication number: 20050232095
    Abstract: A grounded pickup body 40 and a flexible-printed circuit board (FPC) are provided 10. On the reverse side of the FPC 10, a plurality of protruding lands 30 is connected to a ground pattern. The FPC 10 is wrapped around the pickup body 40, and a part of the FPC 10 is fixed to the pickup body 40. Thus, the plurality of protruding lands 30 makes electrical contact with the pickup body 40. As a result, ground reinforcement of the FPC 10 can be efficiently attained at low cost.
