An electronic apparatus includes: an electronic module; and a flexible substrate electrically connected to the electronic module. The flexible substrate includes: a base film; a plurality of first contact pads arranged at one end on the base film in a first direction, and electrically connected to the electronic module; a plurality of second contact pads arranged at an other end on the base film in the first direction; a plurality of first wires arranged on the base film, and each electrically connecting one of the first contact pads and one of the second contact pads together; and a plurality of third contact pads arranged on the base film, each of the third contact pads being positioned along the first direction between one of the first contact pads and one of the second contact pads, and being electrically connected to one of the first wires.

Electronic apparatus and inspection method

To provide a method for producing liquid crystal display panels from a panel assembly, the display panels having a panel thickness smaller than that of the assembly, by which favorable scribe grooves can be formed, which therefore allows contribution to thin profiles and narrow frame regions of the display panels. The method includes a first scribe-formation step of forming, after a first step of thinning a TFT substrate assemblyA and a CF substrate assemblyA of a panel assemblyA by etching, first scribe grooveson an outer surfaceof the TFT substrate assemblyA along regions where sealsare disposed, and a second thinning step of further thinning the substrate assembliesA andA by etching, and developing the first scribe groovesformed on the outer surfaceto expose portions of the sealsat bottoms of the first scribe grooves

Method for producing liquid crystal display panel, and liquid crystal display panel

A cutting step of forming a crack (C) above at least one side of a sealant () surrounding each display region (D) in each of outer surfaces of a first mother substrate () and a second mother substrate () of a bonded body (), and cutting the bonded body () into sections including the display regions (D) includes: a first mother substrate cutting step of forming a crack (C) above the sealant () surrounding each display region (D) in the outer surface of the first mother substrate (), and then causing the crack (C) to develop in a substrate thickness direction to cut the first mother substrate () into sections including the display regions (D); a residual stress reducing step of reducing a residual stress of the sealant () in the bonded body () in which the first mother substrate () has been cut; and a second mother substrate cutting step of forming a crack (C) above the sealant () surrounding each display region (D) in the outer surface of the second mother substrate () of the bonded body () in which the residual stress of the sealant () has been reduced, and then causing the crack (C) to develop in the substrate thickness direction to cut the second mother substrate () into sections including the display regions (D).

Method of manufacturing display panel

In a method of the present invention for holding a substrate in a vacuum, a glass substrate () is held by an adhesive pad () or an adhesive sheet, both of which are made from a material containing a diene based resin, whereby an adhesive agent is prevented from remaining on the substrate, and the adhesive sheet can be detached with ease from the substrate after assembling the substrates.

Method for holding substrate in vacuum

Substrate holding device including adhesive face with hexagons defined by convex portions

A printing plate includes, on the printing surface of a raised part, grooves passing through from one side to another thereof. Preferably, the grooves are parallel to each other and equally spaced apart. More preferably the raised part is in the shape of a nearly-rectangular frame, and the grooves are provided such that one side of the near-rectangle and the longitudinal direction of the grooves form an angle of 45&#xb0;.

Printing plate, press and method of printing, and apparatus and method for manufacturing liquid crystal devices

An object of the invention is to provide a high-contrast liquid crystal display apparatus which is excellent in display quality, with its substrates equally spaced with high accuracy. On a first and a second substrate are formed a color filter of three colors: red, green, and blue, electrodes for applying a voltage to a liquid crystal layer, orientation film layers for orienting liquid crystal, a pair of polarizing plates arranged in a crossed Nicol state, a TFT element, and a wire (not shown). The substrates are bonded together with spherical spacers interposed therebetween, thereby constituting the liquid crystal layer. Then, the spherical spacers are selectively placed in the color filter regions of red- and blue-color.
