  • Patent number: 8013947
    Abstract: Conventionally, when a protective/insulation film is present above a film to be corrected, only a defect of the film to be corrected below such an upper-layer film is corrected without damaging the upper-layer film. A display region of a display device has an insulation film, a semiconductor film and a conductive film formed in a given pattern and stacked on a substrate. When at least one of a correction portion out of a correction portion which separates a short-circuit defect, a correction portion which connects an opening defect, a correction portion which removes a standard deviation defect, and a correction portion which separates a standard deviation defect of the pattern is corrected, at least one upper-layer film is present above a film to be corrected at the correction portion and the correction is applied to the film to be corrected while leaving the upper-layer film intact.

  • Patent number: 5981973
    Abstract: A thin film transistor structure for use in driving liquid crystal display elements has a semiconductor active layer, a control electrode layer underlying the active layer with an insulating layer interposed therebetween and first and second main electrode layers formed on or above the active layer in a spaced relation with each other to define a channel in the active layer in cooperation with the control electrode layer between the main electrode layers. The active layer has a first peripheral edge portion generally perpendicular to the direction of the channel and a second peripheral edge portion generally not perpendicular to the direction of the channel. The first and/or second main electrode layer extends over the first and/or second peripheral edge portion of the active layer such that at least a part of the first peripheral edge portion and/or at least part of the second peripheral edge portion of the active layer has its side face directly covered with the main electrode layer.
