An array substrate comprising: a first insulator film arranged to insulate scanning and control lines from signal lines; switching elements, each of which is arranged in vicinity of respective intersection of the scanning and signal lines; a second insulator film that covers a multi-layer wiring pattern including the scanning and control lines and the signal lines; pixel electrodes, each of which is electrically connected to respective one of the signal lines through the respective switching element; island metal patterns, each of which is arranged to at least partly overlap the control line and is electrically connected with the respective switching element; a wiring breakage that separates one of the signal lines into two wiring parts; and bridge wirings, which connect said two wiring parts by way of one of the island metal patterns and are arranged to overlap the pixel electrodes as interposed by the second insulator film therebetween.

Array substrate for flat-panel display device and its manufacturing method

A circuit array substrate includes an optically transparent substrate, pixels having switching elements formed on the transparent substrate, gate electrode lines connected to the switching elements, the gate electrode lines being provided on a first insulation film with separating portions in the pixels, signal lines connected to the switching elements, the signal lines being provided on a second insulation film which is different from the first insulation film, and electrically conductive portions provided on the second film to electrically connect the electrode lines with the separating portions to each other. The separating portions reduce electrostatic capacitances defined between the gate electrode lines and the switching elements when the conductive portions are not connected between the separating portions.

Method of fabricating a circuit array substrate

An improved disc player which is arranged to successively effect the slide table sliding function, disc clamping function, and pick-up driving function only through employment of a single electric motor as a driving source for compact size and simple construction.
