図1~図5は、本発明に係るアクティブマトリクス基板及びそれを備えた液晶表示パネル並びにアクティブマトリクス基板の製造方法の実施形態1を示している。
まず、ガラス基板などの絶縁基板10aの基板全体に、スパッタリング法により、チタン膜、アルミニウム膜及びチタン膜などを順に成膜し、その後、フォトリソグラフィによりパターニングして、ゲート線1a、ゲート電極G及び容量線1bを厚さ4000Å程度に形成する。
まず、ガラス基板などの絶縁基板10bの基板全体に、スピンコート法により、例えば、カーボンなどの微粒子が分散されたネガ型のアクリル系の感光性樹脂を塗布し、その塗布された感光性樹脂をフォトマスクを介して露光した後に、現像することにより、ブラックマトリクス16を厚さ1.5μm程度に形成する。
例えば、ディスペンサを用いて、上記対向基板作製工程で作製された対向基板30に、紫外線硬化及び熱硬化併用型樹脂などにより構成されたシール材を枠状に描画する。
上記シール描画工程でシール材が描画された対向基板30におけるシール材の内側の領域に液晶材料を滴下する。
まず、上記液晶滴下工程で液晶材料が滴下された対向基板30と、上記アクティブマトリクス基板作製工程で作製されたアクティブマトリクス基板20aとを、減圧下で貼り合わせた後に、その貼り合わせた貼合体を大気圧に開放することにより、貼合体の表面を加圧する。
上記製造された液晶表示パネル50において、各ゲート線1aにバイアス電圧-10V、周期16.7msec、パルス幅50μsecの+15Vのパルス電圧のゲート検査信号を入力して全てのTFT5をオン状態にすると共に、各ソース線3aに16.7msec毎に極性が反転する±2Vの電位のソース検査信号を入力することにより各TFT5を介して画素電極6にソース検査信号を入力する。そして、同時に、共通電極18に直流で-1Vの電位の共通電極検査信号を入力することにより、各画素電極6と共通電極18との間の液晶層40に電圧を印加して、各画素電極6により構成される画素が点灯状態になる。このとき、例えば、ノーマリブラックモード(電圧無印加時に黒表示)の液晶表示パネル50では、表示画面が黒表示から白表示となる。ここで、パーティクルP(図5参照)などにより、容量幹線3c及びゲート線1aが短絡した場合には、TFT5のオン/オフ制御が機能しなくなり、表示領域Dにゲート線に沿った表示ムラが発生するので、容量幹線3cを基板側から顕微鏡などで目視確認することにより、短絡欠陥Xが検知される。
図5に示すように、短絡欠陥Xが検知されたゲート線1aの複線部Waを構成する配線部Wにおいて、領域Laに容量幹線3cのスリットSaを介して、及び領域Lbに、例えば、YAGレーザから発振されたレーザ光をそれぞれ照射することにより、ゲート線1aから複線部の短絡欠陥Xの部分を分離する。これにより、容量幹線3c及びゲート線1aの間の短絡を解消することができる。

図7は、本実施形態のアクティブマトリクス基板20cの図4に対応する平面図である。
