Abstract
In order to use an auxiliary wiring formed on one of opposing substrates as a bypass line of one of circuit lines arranged in matrix on the same substrate, which has a broken portion, cross points (A and B) of the auxiliary wiring and the broken circuit line are electrically connected by removing an insulating film between the auxiliary wiring and the circuit line by irradiating these cross points with a laser beam. An electrostatic protective element is provided in each of cross points of the auxiliary wiring and the circuit lines and the auxiliary wiring is connected to a common terminal connected to an opposing electrode formed on the other opposing substrate such that the potential of the auxiliary wiring can be removed.
