Abstract
A display matrix substrate capable of minimizing an adverse effect of a defective switching element developed in the display matrix substrate. On a substrate,plural pixel electrodes,A,,B are formed in a matrix form. Switching elements,A,,B are provided corresponding to the respective plural pixel electrodes,A,,B. Voltage is applied to the pixel electrodes,A,,B to display an image on the display matrix substrate by successively operating the switching elements. Defective switching element,A among the plural switching elements is preliminarily detected in a production process. A pixel electrode,A of the defective switching element,A is electrically connected to a pixel electrode,B of a normal switching element,B adjacent to the defective switching element,A. Thereby, it is possible to minimize the adverse effect of the defective switching element,A to a displayed image by making the pixel electrode of the defective switching element,A operate together with the pixel electrode of the normal switching element,B adjacent thereto.
