    Abstract: A method for inspecting a semiconductor substrate constituting a liquid crystal display by reliably detecting a change in potential due to a failure of a pixel cell driver circuit irrespective of the decreased ratio of the pixel capacitance to the wiring capacitance because of the small size of the display and higher definition. The method comprises a charge retaining step of allowing pixel capacitors connected to pixel switches selected from among all the pixel switches connected to one data line to retain the charge and a detecting step for simultaneously detecting the charge retained by the pixel capacitors at the charge retaining step from the one data line.

    Abstract: Two voltages for scanning a scanning line, i.e., AVD1 below a gate breakdown voltage of a switching element and AVD2 over the gate breakdown voltage are selectively used. After the scanning of a scanning line by the AVD1 is started, a data line is precharged. Thereafter, the scanning voltage is changed to the AVD2. At this change, a voltage corresponding to the precharging voltage is generated in a pixel capacitor. Therefore, even if the AVD2 over the gate breakdown voltage is applied to the pixel switch, it is possible to cause a potential difference not exceeding the breakdown voltage between the terminals of the switching element.

SOLUTION: Display pixels are arranged on respective intersections of a plurality of vertical signal lines and a plurality of horizontal signal lines. At the same time, shield lines are arranged along the respective vertical and horizontal signal lines. Furthermore, the potential of the shield lines is set to be a value with which the display pixel is displayed in black. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    SOLUTION: The respective pixel cells are constituted of pixel switches M 20 to M 23 selected by gate lines, pixel electrodes into which image data is written from data lines D 20 and D 21 through the selected pixel switches, and pixel capacitors CS 20 to CS 23 which are connected to the pixel switches and hold the image data. The pixel cells, one pair of which is arranged symmetrically with a horizontal scanning direction as one unit, are arranged in a matrix form. The boundaries between the pixel capacitors adjacent to each other in a vertical scanning direction are made of the same arrangement in all the pixel cells. Also, the pixel cells, one pair of which are arranged symmetrically with the vertical scanning direction as one unit, are arranged in the matrix form and the data lines D 20 and D 21 connected to the drains D of the transistors constituting the respective pixel switches are wired adjacently in parallel to each other and are always driven at the same timing.
