According to one embodiment, a laser annealing method includes: detecting an intensity distribution of a laser light formed as a line beam by a line beam optical system; dividing width in short axis direction of the line beam in the detected intensity distribution by number of times of the irradiation per one site and partitioning the width; and calculating increment of crystal grain size of a non-crystalline thin film for energy density corresponding to wave height of the partitioned intensity distribution, and summing the increments by number of times of pulse irradiation, when energy density of the laser light is larger than a threshold, the crystal grain size of the non-crystalline thin film taking a downward turn at the threshold, the increment summed before the energy density exceeds the threshold being set to zero.

A defective pixel correction apparatus has a laser output section and a measurement mechanism. The laser output section has an adjustment function of adjusting an intensity of a laser beam. The measurement mechanism measures an intensity of a laser beam reflected from a defective pixel.

An outer case has an opening portion and a power generation element is held in the outer case and has a positive electrode and negative electrode with a separator interposed. A cover member is joined to the opening portion and the cover member is welded to the outer case with a laser beam. An injection port is formed in the cover member. After an electrolyte has been injected via the injection port into the outer case, a sealing member is pressed in a hermetical way into the injection port and then blocked by a sealing cover welded to the cover member using the laser beam. Furthermore, a pressing member is provided between the power generation element and the inner surface of the cover member wherein one end of the pressing member is receded a predetermined dimension from the injection port.
