LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND METHOD OF DRIVING LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines arranged in a matrix pattern on a substrate;
a pixel being formed at a crossing portion of each of the plurality of scanning lines and each of the plurality of signal lines, and comprising a thin film transistor that is connected to each of the plurality of scanning lines and each of the plurality of signal lines;
a short ring line connected to each of the plurality of scanning lines and each of the plurality of signal lines;
inspection thin film transistors on a scanning line side that are formed respectively in the plurality of scanning lines;
an inspection scanning line arranged so as to be connected to each of the plurality of scanning lines through intermediation of each of the inspection thin film transistors on a scanning line side;
inspection thin film transistors on a signal line side that are formed respectively in the plurality of signal lines; and
an inspection signal line arranged so as to be connected to each of the plurality of signal lines through intermediation of each of the inspection thin film transistors on a signal line side.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes scanning lines and signal lines arranged in a matrix pattern on a TFT substrate, a pixel being formed at a crossing portion of each scanning line and each signal line, and including a TFT that is connected to each scanning line and each signal line, first nonlinear resistance elements formed respectively in the scanning lines, each of which being connected to one scanning line at one end thereof and to a short ring power-supply line for a scanning line at another end thereof, and second nonlinear resistance elements formed respectively in the signal lines, each of which being connected to one signal line at one end thereof and to a short ring power-supply line for a signal line at another end thereof. A voltage is applied to the first and second nonlinear resistance elements independently of each scanning line and each signal line.
