Abstract
An active matrix substrate provided with a dielectric substrate, on which a gate wire multi-short-circuit group composed of gate wire multi-short-circuit wires and a data wire multi-short-circuit group composed of gate wire multi-short-circuit wires are formed at either ends of the gate wires and data wires, respectively. The gate wires and gate wire multi-short-circuit wires are connected in such a manner that adjacent gate wires are short-circuited with different gate wire multi-short-circuit wires. It has become possible with the present active matrix substrate to conduct electrical inspections such that can detect leakage defects among the gate wires and those among the data wires, correct the revealed defects, and confirm the corrections easier at a low cost. Moreover, the present active matrix substrate can prevent static electricity in a sufficient manner.
