Thin-film transistor array protected from static electricity.

摘要

A thin film transistor array comprises an insulative substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix on the insulative substrate, a plurality of thin film transistors connected respectively to the pixel electrodes, a plurality of address lines formed on the insulative substrate, each address line being connected to a plurality of control electrodes of the thin film transistors, and a plurality of data lines arranged on the insulative substrate in such a manner as to intersect the address lines, each data line being connected to a plurality of data input electrodes of the thin film transistors. A short-wiring is formed on the outside of a display region on the insulative substrate on which the pixel electrodes are arranged, and the short-wiring is connected to at least two of the address lines and the data lines by a two-terminal element having non-linear resistance characteristics defining voltage/current characteristics on the basis of a space charge limited current.
