Abstract
A display device 1 of the present invention includes a first conductive layer 20 and a second conductive layer 21 arranged across an insulating layer 24 from the first conductive layer 20. An overlap section 40 at which the first conductive layer 20 and the second conductive layer 21 overlap each other is provided. At least one of the first conductive layer 20 and the second conductive layer 21 includes a slit portion 210a that is arranged in the overlap section 40. The width of the slit portion 210a is set to be smaller at a medial area 82 except both end areas 81 of the slit portion 210a, than at the both end areas 81.
Claims16
A display device comprising:
- a first conductive layer;
- and
- a second conductive layer arranged across an insulating layer from said first conductive layer, wherein:
- an overlap section at which said first conductive layer and said second conductive layer overlap each other is provided;
- at least one of said first conductive layer and said second conductive layer includes a slit portion that is arranged in said overlap section;
- and
- a width of said slit portion is set to be smaller at a medial area except both end areas of said slit portion, than at the both end areas.
A manufacturing method of a display device that includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer arranged across an insulating layer from said first conductive layer, said manufacturing method comprising:
- forming said first conductive layer by a first conductive layer forming process;
- forming the insulting layer on said first conductive layer;
- forming the second conductive layer on said insulating layer by a second conductive layer forming process, so that an overlap section at which said second conductive layer overlaps with said first conductive layer is provided;
- and
- fixing a fault by a repair process, if the fault is generated in said overlap section, wherein:
- at least one of said first conductive layer forming process and said second conductive layer forming process includes forming a slit portion on at least one of said first conductive layer and said second conductive layer by a slit forming process, by which said slit portion is formed in said overlap section so as to have a smaller slit width at a medial area except both end areas of said slit portion, than at the both end areas;
- and
- said repair process includes cutting off an area of said fault by radiating a laser beam to a conductive layer portion adjacent to an end area of said slit portion provided as a relatively wide area thereof, starting at the end area.
A manufacturing method of a display device, wherein at least one of said first conductive layer forming process and said second conductive layer forming process includes forming a cutout portion located at a predetermined distance from said slit portion, by a cutout forming process.
