Abstract

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif d'affichage au moyen duquel il est possible de réduire au minimum une diminution de la fiabilité. Le dispositif d'affichage de la présente invention est pourvu d'un premier substrat et d'un second substrat. Le premier substrat est pourvu d'une partie d'affichage pourvue d'une pluralité de pixels, d'une partie de non-affichage en forme de cadre entourant la partie d'affichage, un circuit d'attaque de ligne de balayage situé sur la partie de non-affichage, et un évidement formé sur un film isolant situé entre le circuit d'attaque de ligne de balayage et la partie d'affichage. Le second substrat est pourvu d'une partie convexe située dans l'évidement. L'évidement est, par exemple, un évidement (CC) formé sur le premier substrat (SUB1). La partie convexe est une partie convexe (CV) formée sur le second substrat (SUB2). Lorsque le premier substrat (SUB1) et le second substrat (SUB2) sont trop désalignés par rapport à une quantité admissible, la partie convexe (CV) se soulève de l'évidement (CC) et s'en sépare, en changeant l'épaisseur d'une couche de cristaux liquides (LC), et permet d'effectuer une inspection de désalignement entre le premier substrat (SUB1) et le second substrat (SUB2) lors de l'inspection d'éclairage, etc., du dispositif d'affichage (DSP).
