Patent ID: 7422964

Claim:
An electro-optical apparatus, comprising: an active matrix substrate, the active matrix substrate comprising a thin film transistor as forming a matrix manufactured by a method comprising: forming a separation layer on a heat resistant substrate; forming the thin film transistor for pixel switching on the separation layer as forming the matrix; providing a surface layer at a side of the thin film transistor opposite to another side that faces the heat resistant substrate; and generating a peeling phenomenon at an interface of the separation layer and the heat resistant substrate so as to peel the heat resistant substrate from the other side of the thin film transistor, wherein an organic layer is formed as the separation layer, the organic layer having a characteristic that generates a peeling phenomenon because of a reduction of an adhering force to the heat resistant substrate of the separation layer based on a liquid phase existing at the interface of the separation layer and the heat resistant substrate, and the peeling phenomenon is generated by generating the liquid phase at the interface of the separation layer and the heat resistant substrate.
