    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a point defect or a line defect of a thin film semiconductor device used for a display or the like. SOLUTION: In a thin film semiconductor device, a signal wiring 3, a gate wiring 2 and a thin film transistor TFT are formed on an insulating board to constitute a circuit. A semiconductor thin film 4 is extended along the signal wiring 3, and a distance from a contact hole CONS for electrically connecting the film 4 to the wiring 3 to a channel region Ch is lengthened. A protective member 2F of floating is arranged of the same material as that of a gate electrode along an edge of the film 4 disposed from the CONS to the channel region. The contact hole COND for connecting the drain region of the TFT to an intermediate wiring 3a and the contact hole CONP for connecting a pixel electrode to the wiring 3a are isolated from each other, and the former is arranged at a remote position from the TFT as compared with the latter. A part of the film 4 disposed under the wiring 3 via the CONS is extended at an outside in a width of at least 5 μm from an inner diameter of the CONS.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inspection device capable of inspecting a liquid crystal display device in a shorter time without changing fundamental characteristics of liquid cells, and inspection method thereby. SOLUTION: An inspection device is provided with a voltage generating part 11 and a temperature control part 12. The voltage generating part 11 generates a first voltage which is higher than a driving voltage and a second voltage which is higher than the first voltage and which is capable of breaking liquid crystal cells 23 when it is applied continuously to the cells for a prescribed time or more for only a prescribed time which does not bring the liquid crystal cells 23 into breakdown and generates the first voltage and the second voltage in a prescribed cycle and applies the voltages to a liquid crystal display device 2. The temperature control part 12 controls the liquid crystal display device 2 at a prescribed temperature when the prescribed voltages are applied to the display device 2 by the voltage generating part 11.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image display device of a hybrid type which does not require a back light. SOLUTION: The image display device includes a pair of front and rear substrates 1 and 2 joined to each other across a prescribed spacing and an electro-optic material 3 held in this spacing, has pixels arranged in a matrix form and displays images by reflecting the external light from the front side toward the front side and radiating the emitted light from the rear side toward the front side. The respective pixels are flatly divided to a reflection region where the images are displayed by reflecting the incident external light from the front side and a light emission region where the images are displayed by radiating the emitted light from the rear side toward the front side. The reflection region comprises electrodes 10 and 122 formed on a pair of the front and rear substrates 1, the electro-optic material 3 grasped between these electrodes and a reflection layer 8 formed on the substrate on the rear side.
