Patent ID: 10712624

Abstract:
A method for producing an active matrix substrate includes the steps of: (A) forming in individual pixels a thin-film transistor element, a first insulating film, a pixel electrode to be connected to a drain electrode of the thin-film transistor element through a contact hole formed at least in the first insulating film, a second insulating film, and a common electrode to be superposed on the pixel electrode outside the contact hole, with the second insulating film in between; (B) detecting a short-circuited pixel among the pixels; (C) removing the pixel electrode inside the contact hole in the short-circuited pixel and thereby isolating the pixel electrode from the drain electrode; and (D) forming a through hole that penetrates the second insulating film outside the contact hole in the short-circuited pixel, and connecting the pixel electrode and the common electrode to each other through the through hole.
