In addition, as shown in Figure 4,, then concentrate easily, might produce discharge, between wiring WX that supplies with other current potential and sweep BD, cause short circuit at its sweep BD electric charge if gather electric charge on the public wiring COM.In addition, when the discharge scale is big, might cause adjacent wiring WX broken string.Wirings such as such short circuit and broken string are bad owing to produce picture element flaw in completed display panels, therefore make and make the qualification rate reduction.

In addition, above-mentioned such display device that constitutes also can make the display device mother substrate, makes a plurality of display device simultaneously.That is, as shown in Figure 5, the display device that the manufacturing liquid crystal indicator is used has the 1st mother substrate M1 of substrate for array and the 2nd mother substrate M2 that relative substrate is used with mother substrate.These the 1st mother substrate M1 and the 2nd mother substrate M2 after line respectively, have a plurality of unit area C1, C2 that become single liquid display panel 1 ...

That is, the 1st mother substrate M1 and the 2nd mother substrate M2 comprise effective display part 6 in each unit area C, utilize the encapsulant that surrounds each effective display part 6 and dispose to paste mutually.These the 1st mother substrate M1 and the 2nd mother substrate M2 can keep liquid crystal layer 5 in the inboard that utilizes encapsulant to surround in each unit area C.The 1st mother substrate M1 that constitutes is like this rule along each unit area c, by the array base palte 3 of each display panels 1 of such formation.In addition, the 2nd mother substrate M2 is rule along each unit area c, by the relative substrate 4 of each display panels 1 of such formation.

In addition, the 1st mother substrate M1 has and supply with the global semaphore line CSL that global semaphore is used in each unit area outside the unit area.When this global semaphore line CSL checks the relevant quality of each unit area C, supply with various inspection signals before line.This global semaphore line CSL for example forms annular, and its part is connected with pad CSP with inspection.

In addition, the 1st mother substrate M1 have be configured in outside the unit area, simultaneously in manufacture process for the position alignment necessary alignment mark AMM of display device with mother substrate.That is, when this alignment mark AMM forms various conductive layers and insulation course on the 1st mother substrate M1, be used between the 1st mother substrate M1 and the various manufacturing installation or the 1st mother substrate M1 and various figure form position alignment between the mask of usefulness.In addition, the alignment mark AMM on the 1st mother substrate M1 also is used for the position alignment between the 1st mother substrate M1 and the 2nd mother substrate M2 when pasting the 2nd mother substrate M2.

This alignment mark AMM is identical with the alignment mark AMP that is configured in the unit area shown in Figure 1, forms with metal film.This alignment mark AMM is the neighboring area that is configured in the 1st mother substrate M1 in example shown in Figure 5, but is not particularly limited in this example, so long as on the 1st mother substrate M1, can be the optional position, also can dispose a plurality of in addition on the 1st mother substrate M1.In addition, the so-called alignment mark AMM here also can be the mark that mint-mark has identifying informations such as lot number and manufacturing resume.

With in the mother substrate, electric charge accumulates in easily and is provided with in the bigger wiring of area in its manufacture process too in such display device.Particularly the inspection of each unit area C is with wiring owing to gather electric charge easily, therefore might produce with reference to wiring condition of poor such as the same short circuit of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 explanation or broken strings.

" configuration example "

Therefore, the relevant display device of this example has and checks the conductive layer 90 that separates the relative configuration in interval of regulation with wiring 80.This conductive layer 90 has and checks with the discharge leader 90A of the relative and guiding inspection of wiring 80 with 80 charge discharges that gather that connect up.That is, discharge leader 90A be equivalent in the conductive layer 90 with check with the relative parts of wiring 80.In checking with wiring 80, the relative part 80A relative with discharge leader 90A can be the part of checking with wiring 80 midway, also can be the end of checking with wiring 80.Discharge leader 90A preferably is configured to, and checks that the inspection of concentrating especially easily with the electric charge in the wiring 80 is relative with the interval that 80 the end of connecting up separates regulation.

Below explanation is checked with the topology example of wiring 80 with conductive layer 90.

In the example shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B, conductive layer 90 is configured in and checks with connecting up 80 with in one deck, and is relative with the interval G that wiring 80 separates regulation with inspection.Therefore this conductive layer 90 can adopt and check with wiring 80 identical materials to form in same operation owing to be configured in same one deck with inspection with wiring 80.So, do not need to form in addition the operation of conductive layer 90, can not cause manufacturing cost to increase and make qualification rate and reduce significantly.

In the example shown in Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, conductive layer 90 be configured in insulation course 100 between during with check with the different layer of wiring 80, and with check that to separate the interval G of regulation relative with connecting up 80.Here, especially shown in Fig. 7 A, conductive layer 90 with check with wiring 80 be configured to their substrate (being array base palte 3) of configuration towards mutually not overlapping (that is, and in the face of array base palte 3, conductive layer 90 with check with 80 the interval G of connecting up non-vanishing).In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 7 b, it is the lower floor that is configured in insulation course 100 with wiring 80 with checking, conductive layer 90 is configured in the upper strata of insulation course 100, but be not limited to this example, can certainly will check the upper strata that is configured in insulation course 100 with wiring 80, conductive layer 90 is configured in the lower floor of insulation course 100.

In the example shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, conductive layer 90 is configured in and checks uses the 80 different layers that connect up, and insulation course 100 is mediate, and its at least a portion uses wiring 80 overlapping by insulation course 100 and inspection.That is, shown in Fig. 8 A, conductive layer 90 is configured to overlap each other in the face of their substrate (being array base palte 3) of configuration with wiring 80 with inspection, passes through between the insulation course between them 100 relative to each other simultaneously.In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 8 B, it is the lower floor that is configured in insulation course 100 with wiring 80 with checking, conductive layer 90 is configured in the upper strata of insulation course 100, but be not limited to this example, can certainly will check the upper strata that is configured in insulation course 100 with wiring 80, conductive layer 90 is configured in the lower floor of insulation course 100.In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 8 B, the inspection of formation is wideer than conductive layer 90 with the width of wiring 80, but is not limited to this example, and the width of the conductive layer 90 that forms also can be wideer than checking with wiring 80 certainly.

The conductive layer 90 that in these examples, illustrates, be that guiding concentrates on the conductive layer of checking the charge discharge of using wiring 80, suppose to produce discharge (even or result's generation short circuit or broken string of conduct discharge) in the display panels of finishing, also not produce the conductive layer of any influence even be.For example, conductive layer 90 can with check with relative island configuration (or the floating dummy status of the electricity) conductive member that is of wiring 80, also can be the wiring etc. of supply specified signal (or assigned voltage) usefulness.At conductive layer 90 are whens wiring, preferably utilize and do not import in the display panels of finishing the wiring lines that shows usefulness as conductive layer 90.That is, utilize as the wiring of conductive layer 90 preferably after flexible printed circuit board FPC or driving IC chip etc. are installed not input signal or input make the wiring lines of each on-off element 61,62,63 of coordinating in the inspection unit 40 for fixing under the off-state.By utilizing such wiring or island conductive member as conductive layer 90, though for example with check with wiring 80 short circuits, in the display panels of finishing, can not produce any influence for display quality yet.In addition, are whens wiring at conductive layer 90, if can suppress to be small-scale discharge, reach and do not produce short circuit or broken string and release and check program with the electric charge of wiring 80, then also can utilize input to the wiring lines that shows usefulness as conductive layer 90.

Under the situation of the example shown in the example shown in Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B or Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, checking will be with relative state configuration with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, and conductive layer 90 can adopt with checking with the different layer of wiring 80 and go up the electrode of formation or the identical materials that connects up forms in same operation.For example, be to check checking with control wiring 55 o'clock with wiring 80, conductive layer 90 can adopt with insulation course 100 is intervenient and form in same operation with checking the source electrode that upward disposes with the different layer of wiring 80 or let out identical materials such as utmost point electrode.Therefore, do not need to form in addition the operation of conductive layer 90, can not cause manufacturing cost to increase and make qualified degree and reduce significantly.

Conductive layer 90 and inspection are set at the distance that can guide discharge with the interval G of the regulation between the wiring 80, and preferably as far as possible little, but both are as if short circuit (being spaced apart zero), and then resistance is too small, can not consume the energy of electrostatic breakdown.Therefore, G preferably is set at the distance that both are in electric insulating state at interval.

In the example shown in the example shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B or Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, the interval G of regulation with respect to configuration conductive layer 90 and check with the array base palte 3 of wiring 80 towards distance.In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, because conductive layer 90 uses wiring 80 by insulation course 100 overlay configuration with inspection, so both intervals are equivalent to the thickness G of insulation course 100 in fact.In addition, under the situation about having, in upper strata (among the figure for conductive layer 90) climbs to step part BP in the lower floor (among the figure for checking with wiring 80), often be sandwiched in the wall thickness G ' of the insulation course 100 between upper strata and the lower floor.In a word, conductive layer 90 and check the interior bee-line of section that is defined as the array base palte 3 that is equivalent to dispose them with the interval between the wiring 80.

Example shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B is such, with conductive layer 90 and check that when being configured in one deck with wiring 80, according to the resolution limit of these figures formation operations, both interval G have the limit to a certain degree.In addition, example shown in example shown in Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 b or Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B is such, with conductive layer 90 and check when being configured in different layers with wiring 80, be not subjected to these figures to form the restriction of operation, even in the face of array base palte 3,, also can utilize insulation course 100 to form both and be the state of electrical isolation with both overlay configuration.That is, compare, can more dwindle conductive layer 90 and the interval of checking with wiring 80, can easier guiding discharge with checking situation about being configured in one deck with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90.In addition, by insulation course 100 with conductive layer 90 when checking with wiring 80 overlay configuration because both intervals are equivalent to the bee-line in the section, therefore can utilize the thickness of insulation course 100 to control both intervals.The thickness of insulation course 100 can be set at the 0.1 μ m order of magnitude, compares with the situation at the interval of wanting to form regulation in the array base palte face, can form littler interval, can cause discharge easilier.

In addition, example shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 6 B is such, when forming inspection with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 with approaching interval with one deck, must make figure with high precision and form necessary exposure mask in the operation, perhaps form to expose with high precision in the operation and use the mask alignment position at figure.Different therewith is, example shown in example shown in Fig. 7 A and 7b or Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 b is such, owing to form inspection with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 at different layers, does not therefore need to satisfy such requirement, manufacturing cost can be reduced, the manufacturing qualification rate can be improved simultaneously.

In above-mentioned example, conductive layer 90 with check with promptly discharge leader 90A and check with the shapes with relative part 80A conductive layer 90 80 that connect up and be not limited to rectangle of the relative part of wiring 80.That is, discharge leader 90A and group are at least one side of part 80A shape of charge concentration (being sharp shape) preferably.That is, part 80A has at least one polygon coign part of giving prominence to conductive layer 90 relatively.In addition, discharge leader 90A has at least one polygon coign part of giving prominence to wiring 80 to checking.At least one summit of the coign part of discharge leader 90A is relative across the interval of regulation with wiring 80 with inspection.In addition, at least one summit of the coign of part 80A part is relative across the interval of regulation with conductive layer 90 relatively.

If more specifically be illustrated, then can be shown in Fig. 9 A, at least one side of part 80A and discharge leader 90A has a quadrilateral coign portion C, has the shape of two summit T relatively.In addition, also can be shown in Fig. 9 B, at least one side of part 80A and discharge leader 90A has a triangle coign portion C, has the shape of a summit T relatively.Have again, also can be shown in Fig. 9 C, at least one side of part 80A and discharge leader 90A has a plurality of (n) triangle coign portion C, has the shape of a plurality of (n) summit T relatively.That is, the example shown in Fig. 9 C is the shape (shape that promptly has a plurality of summit T) that expression has the serrate coign portion C that is formed by continuous triangle.In the example shown in Fig. 9 B and Fig. 9 C, compare with the example shown in Fig. 9 A, can make summit T form more sharp-pointed shape, electric field is concentrated easily.

In addition, also can be shown in Fig. 9 D, at least one side of part 80A and discharge leader 90A has stepped length different a plurality of coign portion C 1, C2, C3 relatively ... shape.In the example shown in Fig. 9 D, the interval (or lap) between the part relative with such shape can be different to each coign part.

In addition, relatively at least one side of part 80A and discharge leader 90A has n m limit shape coign portion C, has the shape (not shown) on a plurality of summits, about the shape of summit T, concentrate then best more sharp-pointed shape easily if consider electric field.In addition, a plurality of coign portion C and a plurality of summit T do not need to be arranged in a row, any direction that yet can be in real estate.

Part 80A discharge leader 90A is when the coign portion C that has shown in Fig. 9 A to Fig. 9 C relatively, and the interval G of so-called regulation also can be defined as the distance of front end (being summit T) the relative part on the other side of coign portion C.

Graphics combine when checking with the discharge leader 90A of the relative part 80A of wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 relative to each other is not limited to relative partly each other the combination of the rectangle shown in Fig. 6 A and Fig. 7 A.

That is, can be shown in Figure 10 A, will check with wiring 80 with conductive layer 90 relative to each other the time, be that relative part of the side is the such combination of triangle coign part for rectangle the opposing party's relative part.In addition, also can be shown in Figure 10 B, will check with wiring 80 with conductive layer 90 relative to each other the time, be that relative part of the side is the such combination of serrate coign part for rectangle the opposing party's relative part.Have again, also can be shown in Figure 10 C, in the time will checking that usefulness wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 are relative to each other, the relative part that is a side is that triangle, the opposing party's relative part is the such combination of triangle coign part.In the example shown in this Figure 10 C, the summit T of a best side's relative part is relative with bee-line with the summit T of the opposing party's relative part.Have again in addition, also can be shown in Figure 10 D, in the time will checking that usefulness wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 are relative to each other, the relative part that is a side is that serrate, the opposing party's relative part is the such combination of serrate coign part.In the example shown in this Figure 10 D, the summit T of a best side's relative part is relative with bee-line with the summit T of the opposing party's relative part.

In addition, in the time will checking with the discharge leader 90A of wiring 80 relative part 80A and conductive layer 90 relative to each other, check with connect up 80 and the graphics combine of the lap OL that overlaps each other of conductive layer 90 be not limited to relative partly each other the combination of the rectangle shown in Fig. 8 A.That is, have at least one polygon coign part as long as check at least one side with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 as the concentrated easily shape of electric charge, the part that comprises a summit at least of this coign part constitutes lap OL and gets final product.

In front in the example with reference to Fig. 9 B and Fig. 9 C explanation, with the example shown in Fig. 9 A relatively, can prolong the edge length that constitutes lap OL, and can make summit T form more sharp-pointed shape, electric field is concentrated easily.

Inspection in above-mentioned such shape is used in wiring 80 and the conductive layer 90, as long as the part that comprises a summit at least of the coign of at least one square one-tenth part constitutes lap OL.That is, conductive layer 90 can be configured to have at least one polygon coign portion C, and the part that comprises a summit T at least of coign portion C is overlapping with wiring 80 with inspection.In addition, check, can be configured to have at least one polygon coign portion C, and the part that comprises a summit T at least of coign portion C and conductive layer 90 are overlapping with wiring 80.

For example, shown in Figure 11 A, when the discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 has a triangle coign portion C,, conductive layer 90 use wiring 80 overlapping with inspection as long as being configured to whole this coign portion C.In this case, the summit T of the coign portion C of conductive layer 90 is overlapping with wiring 80 with inspection certainly.Perhaps when inspection has the unexpected portion C of triangle with wiring 80, as long as inspection is overlapping with the discharge leader 90A that wiring 80 is configured to whole this coign portion C and conductive layer 90.In this case, also inspection is overlapping with the summit and the conductive layer 90 of the coign portion C of wiring 80 certainly.By utilizing such configuration to constitute lap OL, thereby check the summit T that concentrates easily by electric field with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, interval with the thickness that is equivalent to insulation course 100 in fact disposes relatively, can guide to check with the electric charge that gathers on 80 that connects up and discharge.

In addition, shown in Figure 11 B, when the discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 has a plurality of triangle coign portion C, as long as conductive layer 90 be configured to whole these coign portion C with check with wiring 80 overlapping.In this case, the summit T of the coign portion C of conductive layer 90 is overlapping with wiring 80 with inspection certainly.Perhaps when inspection has the unexpected portion C of a plurality of triangles with wiring 80, as long as inspection is overlapping with the discharge leader 90A that wiring 80 is configured to whole these coign portion C and conductive layer 90.In this case, also inspection is overlapping with the summit and the conductive layer 90 of the coign portion C of wiring 80 certainly.By utilizing such configuration to constitute lap OL, thereby check the summit T that concentrates easily by electric field with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, interval with the thickness that is equivalent to insulation course 100 in fact disposes relatively, can guide to check with the electric charge that gathers on 80 that connects up and discharge.

Have, shown in Figure 11 C, when the discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 had a triangle coign portion C, conductive layer 90 also can be configured to the part that comprises a summit T of this coign portion C and use wiring 80 overlapping with inspection again.In this case, the special preferably summit T of the coign portion C of conductive layer 90 is positioned at and climbs up the step part BP that checks with wiring 80.Perhaps checking when having a triangle coign portion C, checking that also can be configured to the discharge leader 90A of the part that comprises a summit T of this coign portion C and conductive layer 90 overlapping with connecting up 80 with wiring 80.In this case too, check that preferably the summit T with 80 the coign portion C of connecting up is positioned at the step part BP that climbs up conductive layer 90.By utilizing such configuration to constitute lap OL, thereby check the summit T that concentrates easily by electric field with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, slight gap with the wall thickness that is equivalent to marginal insulation course 100 disposes relatively, more can guide to check with the electric charge that gathers on 80 that connects up and discharge.

Have again in addition, shown in Figure 11 D, when the discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 has a plurality of triangle coign portion C, the part that comprises a summit T that conductive layer 90 also can be configured to these coign portion C with check with wiring 80 overlapping.In this case, the special preferably summit T of the coign portion C of conductive layer 90 is positioned at and climbs up the step part BP that checks with wiring 80.Perhaps checking when having a plurality of triangle coign portion C, checking that also can be configured to the discharge leader 90A of the part that comprises a summit T of these coign portion C and conductive layer 90 overlapping with connecting up 80 with wiring 80.In this case too, check that preferably the summit T with 80 the coign portion C of connecting up is positioned at the step part BP that climbs up conductive layer 90.By utilizing such configuration to constitute lap OL, thereby check the summit T that concentrates easily by electric field with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, slight gap with the wall thickness that is equivalent to marginal insulation course 100 disposes relatively, more can guide to check with the electric charge that gathers on 80 that connects up and discharge.

Have again, shown in Figure 11 E, have a plurality of coign portion C 1, C2 at the discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 ... the time, conductive layer 90 also can be configured to the part that comprises a summit T at least of these coign parts and use wiring 80 overlapping with inspection.In this case, the summit T of a coign part (being C3 in the example shown in Figure 11 E) of special preferably conductive layer 90 is positioned at and climbs up the step part BP that checks with wiring 80.Perhaps checking with wiring 80 to have a plurality of coign portion C 1, C2 ... the time, check that also can be configured to these a coigns part that comprises a summit T at least and discharge leader 90A of conductive layer 90 partly with wiring 80 overlapping.In this case too, check that preferably the summit T with 80 the coign portion C of connecting up is positioned at the step part BP that climbs up conductive layer 90.By utilizing such configuration to constitute lap OL, thereby check the summit T that concentrates easily by electric field with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, slight gap with the wall thickness that is equivalent to marginal insulation course 100 disposes relatively, more can guide to check with the electric charge that gathers on 80 that connects up and discharge.

The shape that Fig. 9 D is described to have the different a plurality of coigns parts of length like that especially will checking like that of image pattern 11E explanation be configured in wiring 80 and conductive layer 90 different layers and also mutually under a part of stacked situation use effective.That is, inspection is different because of various conditions with the quantity of electric charge that gathers in the wiring 80.Thereby, utilize discharge leader 90A to guide the optimum distance of discharge also different easily because of various conditions.So, check that be that various condition is relative with the distance with discharge leader 90A with wiring 80 preferably with conductive layer 90.By like this, no matter check how with the size of the quantity of electric charge that gathers in the wiring 80, utilize discharge leader 90A all easily guiding discharge.

In addition, suppose to utilize discharge leader 90A to guide the inspection of the best of discharge to use wiring 80 known easily with the interval of conductive layer 90, but will check when being configured in different layer with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90, sometimes because the alignment precision relation when form checking respectively, and can not form optimal spacing with wiring 80 and conductive layer 90.Therefore, the leader 90A that for example discharges can make some coign parts with optimal spacing and detection wiring 80 relative configurations by adopting the above-mentioned shape that has the different a plurality of coign parts of length like that.Thereby, more can guide the electric charge of checking with gathering in the wiring 80 to discharge.

In addition, in the example of Figure 11 A to Figure 11 E, be that the coign portion C that will comprise summit T is configured in the upper strata, but be not limited to this example, the coign portion C that comprises summit T can certainly be configured in lower floor.In addition, be that the width of formation lower floor is wideer than the upper strata, but be not limited to this example that the width that can certainly form the upper strata is wideer than lower floor.

" concrete example 1 " conductive layer and connection pads or connecting wiring

Above-mentioned display device has connection pads PD that can be connected with driving IC chip 11 or the pad portion PP with a plurality of connection pads that can be connected with flexible printed circuit board FPC.

Below the above-mentioned conductive layer 90 of explanation is situations of these connection pads or the connecting wiring that is connected with connection pads.For example, as shown in figure 15, the connection pads CP1 that comprises among the pad portion PP with check with 80 relative configurations the in interval that separate regulation of connecting up.Perhaps as shown in figure 16, the interval and inspection wiring 80 relative configurations that separate regulation with the connecting wiring CW that connection pads CP1 connects.

These connection pads CP1 and connecting wiring CW are that the conductive layer that discharges with the electric charge of concentrating in the wiring 80 is checked in guiding, are to suppose to produce discharge (perhaps the result as discharge produces short circuit or broken string) also not produce the conductive layer of any influence in the display panels of finishing.That is, connection pads CP1 and connecting wiring CW be with the display panels of finishing after pad portion PP is connected flexible printed circuit board FPC in do not import conductive layer to the signal that shows usefulness.That is, connection pads CP1 and connecting wiring CW do not import any signal or make each on-off element 61,62,63 of being provided with the inspection unit 40 conductive layer for the signal fixed under the off-state from the driving circuit input of flexible printed circuit board FPC from the driving circuit of flexible printed circuit board FPC after flexible printed circuit board FPC and driving IC chip etc. are installed.
