Abstract
A bidirectional nonlinear resistor for use as a nonlinear active element having a highly insulating organic film formed on a first conductor by polymerizing in an electrolytic solution containing a supporting electrolyte and a soluble organic compound, and a second conductor identical or not identical in kind with the first conductor formed on the organic film is provided. An active matrix substrate including a plurality of the bidirectional nonlinear resistor elements may be used to have a liquid crystal display panel. In a preferred embodiment, the electrolytic solution includes an alkali hydroxide as a supporting electrolyte so that dopant need not be removed after formation of the film. The electrolytic solution which is electrolytically polymerized to form the insulating organic film includes a monomer, preferably pyrrole, pyrrole derivatives, phenol or phenol derivatives, dissolved in an electrolytic solution.
