Abstract:
In a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device having a reflective region 5 and a transmissive region therein, a one-half wavelength plate 29 is disposed between a lower substrate 11 and a polarizer 21a provided on a side of the lower substrate. This makes liquid crystal molecules in at least the transmissive region 6 driven by a horizontal electric field and allows the device to operate in a normally-black mode in both the reflective region 5 and the transmissive region 6, realizing a semi-transmissive liquid crystal display device having wide viewing angle characteristics.
Abstract:
A slit portion is provided at the center of a shield common electrode which is overlapped with a drain wire as a different layer. When an interlayer short-circuiting occurs between the drain wire and the shield common electrode, it induces a critical defect on a screen display, however, a line defect can be repaired/extinguished by cutting both the sides of the slit at the short-circuited portion with laser repair and separating the short-circuited portion.
Abstract:
An active matrix substrate plate having superior properties is manufactured at high yield using four photolithographic fabrication steps. In step 1, the scanning line and the gate electrode extending from the scanning line are formed in the glass plate. In step 2, the gate insulation layer and the semiconductor layer comprised by amorphous silicon layer and n+ amorphous silicon layer is laminated to provide the semiconductor layer for the TFT section. In step 3, the transparent conductive layer and the metallic layer are laminated, and the signal line, the drain electrode extending from the signal line, the pixel electrode and the source electrode extending from the pixel electrode are formed, and the n+ amorphous silicon layer of the channel gap is removed by etching. In step 4, the protective insulation layer is formed, and the protective insulation layer and the metal layer above the pixel electrode are removed by etching.
Abstract:
In a liquid-crystal display element each individual liquid-crystal injection area is surrounded by a seal, and the overall liquid-crystal injection area is surrounded by an array substrate and an opposing substrate surrounded by an outer peripheral seal having an aperture and are adhered together, the aperture of the outer peripheral seal being sealed by a hole sealant, and the surface of at least one of the array substrate and the opposing substrate being polished with a polishing material, which is then removed, after which cutting along the aperture is done to separate the individual liquid-crystal injection areas, thereby facilitating the achievement of a thin liquid-crystal display element, while improving the quality and yield thereof.

Abstract:
An auxiliary plate (10) is fixed to a rear plane of a housing for fixedly holding a lamp unit (6) having a plurality of lamps. In the auxiliary plate (10), a convex portion and a concave portion are combined. The convex portion has a space between the housing and itself, which is formed by protruding a sheet metal, and the concave portion contacts with the housing by denting the sheet metal. In the auxiliary plate 10, an area for mounting a board vulnerable to heat is formed with the convex portion and an air layer performs as heat insulation. The convex and concave portions are arrayed in a direction where heated air easily flows in another area. Thus, rigidity can be remarkably increased compared to a flat-shaped sheet metal, and heat generated by a backlight is effectively dissipated, as well as a temperature rise and an occurrence of a temperature gradient are suppressed.

A LCD device that receives curing light sufficiently to thereby realize approximately uniform curing of the material of the sealing member without eliminating the conductive light-blocking members. A first substrate has a display area and a peripheral area located to surround the display area. The display area includes pixels arranged regularly. The peripheral area includes a sealing member, wiring lines connected to the pixels, and conductive light-blocking members. A second substrate is coupled with the first substrate. A liquid crystal layer is formed between the first and second substrates. The sealing member is formed to overlap with the wiring lines and the light-blocking members in such a way that a non-overlapping area of the sealing member with the wiring lines and the light-blocking members is equal to 25% per unit area of the sealing member or greater.
