The hinge portion 213B allows the second guide portion 212 to rotate relative to the first guide portion 211. It has a function to connect (see Figures 7(A) to 7(C)).
[0138] Various configurations can be used for the hinge portion 213B. For example, a rotation axis 213S and a rotation A configuration including a plurality of parts 213PB connected to each other using a shaft 213S is used. This is possible (see FIG. 8(A)).
[0139] For example, a hinge part 213B to which a plurality of parts 213PB are connected so as to open in a fan shape is used. The hinge portion 213B is configured to connect the second guide portion 211 to the first guide portion 211. Specifically, the state shown in FIG. 8(A) can be changed to the state shown in FIG. 8(B). It can be rotated freely.
[0140] The second guide portion 212 is moved relative to the first guide portion 211 from the state shown in FIG. 7(B) to the state shown in FIG. 7(C). When 13PB comes into contact with an adjacent part as shown in FIG. 8(B), it cannot rotate. The hinge portion 213B thus restricts bending in the opposite direction, and keeps the functional panel 100A in a fixed position. It can bend greatly in the direction.
[0141] The frame 210A is selected from the structures that can be used to satisfy the above conditions. The member can be used for the framework 210B.

A first peeled layer F3 has one side in contact with the release layer F2, and a second side of the first peeled layer F3 has one side in contact with the release layer F2. The bonding layer 30 is in contact with one surface of the bonding layer 30, and the substrate S5 is in contact with the other surface of the bonding layer 30 (see FIG. 9(A-1) and Fig. 9(A-2)).
[0150] The details of the structure of the processed member 80 will be described in the fifth embodiment.

[0155] Second Step One surface layer 80b of the processed member 80 is peeled off. As a result, a first remaining portion is left from the processed member 80. Get 80a.
[0156] Specifically, the peeling starting point F3s formed near the end of the bonding layer 30 is peeled off from the first substrate F1. The first peel layer F2 is then separated from the first peeled layer F3 (see FIG. 9(C)).

They are arranged in this order (see FIG. 10(A-1) and FIG. 10(A-2)).
[0171] The details of the structure of the processed member 90 will be described in the fifth embodiment.

[0185] Specifically, the first layer S2 is located in the region where the second layer S3 is provided on the second release layer S2. The adhesive layer 31 and the first support 41 are cut using a blade or the like having a sharp tip, and Along the edge of the newly formed first adhesive layer 31, a part of the second peeled layer S3 is attached to the second It is separated from the substrate S1 (see FIG. 11(A-1) and FIG. 11(A-2)).
[0186] This step removes the edge of the newly formed first support 41b and the first adhesive layer 31. A peeling starting point 91s is formed near the part.
[0187] The fifth step The second remaining portion 91a is separated from the laminate 91. 1a is obtained (see Figure 11(C)).
[0188] Specifically, the peeling starting point 91s formed near the end of the first adhesive layer 31 is peeled off from the second substrate 32. The plate S1 is separated from the second peeled layer S3 together with the second peeled layer S2. The support 41b, the first adhesive layer 31, the first peeled layer F3, and the first peeled layer F3. The bonding layer 30 has one surface in contact with the other surface of the bonding layer 30, and the second layer to be peeled has one surface in contact with the other surface of the bonding layer 30. S3 and S4 are arranged in this order to obtain a second remainder 91a.
[0189] In addition, ions are irradiated near the interface between the second peeling layer S2 and the second peeled layer S3 to remove static electricity. Specifically, ions generated by an ionizer can be used to peel off the surface. Irradiation may also be performed.
[0190] When the second peeled layer S3 is peeled from the second peeling layer S2, the second peeling layer S2 and the second peeled layer S3 are The liquid is then permeated into the interface of the layer S3 to be peeled off from the nozzle 99. For example, water, polar solvents, etc. may be used as the liquid to be penetrated or sprayed. It is possible.
[0191] By allowing the liquid to penetrate, the effects of static electricity that occurs during peeling can be suppressed. Alternatively, the release layer may be peeled off while being soaked in a liquid that dissolves the release layer.
[0192] In particular, when a film containing tungsten oxide is used for the second release layer S2, the penetration of a liquid containing water is difficult. When the second peeled layer S3 is peeled off while being heated or sprayed, the second peeled layer S3 This is preferable because it can reduce the stress that is applied to the substrate due to peeling.
[0193] Step 6 The second adhesive layer 32 is formed on the second remaining portion 91a (FIG. 11(D-1) and FIG. 11(D- See 2).
[0194] The second remaining portion 91a and the second support 42 are bonded together using the second adhesive layer 32. In this step, a laminate 92 is obtained from the second remaining portion 91a (see FIG. 11(E-1) and FIG. 1 1(E-2)).
[0195] Specifically, the first support 41b, the first adhesive layer 31, the first peeled layer F3, and the first The bonding layer 30 has one surface in contact with the peeled layer F3, and the other surface of the bonding layer 30 has one surface in contact with the other surface of the bonding layer 30. The second peeled layer S3, the second adhesive layer 32, and the second support 42 are arranged in this order. A laminate 92 is obtained.
[0196] <Method for producing a laminate having an opening in a support> A method for producing a laminate having openings in a support will be described with reference to FIG.
[0197] FIG. 12 illustrates a method for producing a laminate having an opening in a support through which a part of a layer to be peeled is exposed. The left side of FIG. 12 shows a cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of the laminate, and the corresponding top view is shown in FIG. Shown on the right.
[0198] 12(A-1) to 12(B-2) show a second support 41b that is smaller than the first support 41b. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating a method for producing a laminate 92c having an opening using the laminate 42b.
[0199] 12(C-1) to 12(D-2) show a second support 42 having an opening formed therein. 10A and 10B are diagrams illustrating a method for producing a laminate 92d.
[0200] Example 1 of a method for producing a laminate having an opening in a support In the sixth step, the second support 42 is replaced with a support smaller than the first support 41b. The laminate was fabricated in the same steps except that a second support 42b was used. This method produces a laminate in which a part of the second peeled layer S3 is exposed. (See FIG. 12(A-1) and FIG. 12(A-2)).
[0201] A liquid adhesive can be used for the second adhesive layer 32. Alternatively, a liquid adhesive with reduced flowability and It is possible to use adhesive that has been preformed into sheets (also called sheet adhesive). When a sheet-like adhesive is used, the adhesive layer 32 protruding outside the second support 42b is In addition, the thickness of the adhesive layer 32 can be easily made uniform. .
[0202] Also, the exposed portion of the second peeled layer S3 is cut away to expose the first peeled layer F3. The state may be the same as that shown in FIG. 12(B-1) and FIG. 12(B-2).
[0203] Specifically, a blade having a sharp tip or the like is used to create scratches on the exposed second peeled layer S3. Next, for example, adhesive tape or the like is applied so that stress is concentrated near the scratch. The tape is attached to a part of the second peelable layer S3, and the second peelable layer S A portion of 3 can be peeled off and selectively removed.
[0204] In addition, a layer capable of suppressing the adhesive force of the bonding layer 30 to the first peeled layer F3 is For example, the adhesive layer 30 may be made of a material that is difficult to bond to the bonding layer 30. Specifically, an organic material may be vapor-deposited in an island shape. This allows a portion of the bonding layer 30 to be selectively and easily removed together with the second peeled layer S3. As a result, the first layer to be peeled F3 can be left exposed.
[0205] For example, the first peeled layer F3 may be a functional layer and a conductive layer F3 electrically connected to the functional layer. b, the conductive layer F3b can be exposed to the opening of the second laminate 92c. This allows the conductive layer F3b exposed in the opening to be used as a terminal to which a signal is supplied, for example. You can be there.
[0206] As a result, the conductive layer F3b, part of which is exposed in the opening, can extract the signal supplied by the functional layer. Alternatively, the signal supplied to the functional layer can be transmitted to an external device. It can be used for terminals that can be supplied.
[0207] <<Example 2 of Method for Producing a Laminate Having an Opening in a Support>> A mask 48 having openings provided so as to overlap the openings provided in the second support 42 is provided. Then, a solvent 49 is dropped into the openings of the mask 48. The second support 42 exposed through the openings of the mask 48 is swelled or dissolved using a solvent 49. (See FIG. 12(C-1) and FIG. 12(C-2)).
[0208] After removing the excess solvent 49, the second support 42 exposed through the openings of the mask 48 is rubbed. As a result, the second support in the area overlapping with the opening of the mask 48 is 42 etc. can be removed.
[0209] Furthermore, if a solvent that swells or dissolves the bonding layer 30 is used, the first peeled layer F3 can be exposed. (See FIG. 12(D-1) and FIG. 12(D-2)).

[0400] 18(A) shows a schematic top view of the detection panel 1010. The detection panel 1010 is made of a substrate On 1030, a plurality of electrodes 1031, a plurality of electrodes 1032, a plurality of wirings 1041, a plurality of wirings The substrate 1030 also has a plurality of wirings 1041 and a plurality of wirings 1042. 2 and each electrically connected FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) 18(A), the FPC 1050 is provided with an IC 105 1 is provided as an example.
[0401] 18(B) shows an enlarged view of the area surrounded by the dashed line in FIG. 18(A). The electrode pattern has a shape in which multiple diamond-shaped electrode patterns are lined up in the horizontal direction of the paper. The diamond-shaped electrode patterns are electrically connected to each other. , a plurality of diamond-shaped electrode patterns are arranged in a row in the vertical direction of the paper, and the diamond-shaped The electrode patterns are electrically connected to each other. At this intersection, the electrode 1031 and the electrode An insulator is sandwiched between the terminal 1032 to prevent an electrical short circuit.
[0402] As shown in FIG. 18(C), the electrode 1032 is formed by a plurality of diamond-shaped electrodes 1033. and a bridge electrode 1034. The electrode 1033 is arranged in the vertical direction of the drawing. The two adjacent electrodes 1033 are electrically connected by a bridge electrode 1034. By adopting such a configuration, the electrode 1033 and the electrode 1031 are connected to the same The conductive film can be processed and formed at the same time. This can suppress the variation in the resistance value and light transmittance of each electrode depending on the location. In this example, the electrode 1032 is configured to have a bridge electrode 1034. However, the electrode 1031 may have such a configuration.
[0403] As shown in FIG. 18(D), the diamond-shaped electrodes 1031 and 1032 shown in FIG. 18(B) The inside of the electrode pattern may be hollowed out, leaving only the outline. In this case, when the width of the electrodes 1031 and 1032 is thin enough not to be visible to the user, As will be described later, the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are made of a light-shielding material such as a metal or alloy. In addition, the electrode 1031 or the electrode 1032 shown in FIG. 18(D) may be used. A configuration having a ridge electrode 1034 may also be used.
[0404] One electrode 1031 is electrically connected to one wiring 1041. 1032 is electrically connected to one wiring 1042. 032 corresponds to a row wiring, and the other corresponds to a column wiring.
[0405] The signal output from IC 1051 is transmitted to electrode 1 via wiring 1041 or wiring 1042. Electrode 1031 or electrode 1032. 2 through the wiring 1041 or the wiring 1042. Input to IC1051.
[0406] Here, when the detection panel 1010 is placed on the display surface of the display panel to form a touch panel, In this case, it is preferable to use a light-transmitting conductive material for the electrodes 1031 and 1032. In addition, the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are formed using a light-transmitting conductive material, and the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are formed using a light-transmitting conductive material. When light from the electrode 1031 or the electrode 1032 is extracted, the electrode 1031 and the electrode A conductive film containing the same conductive material is disposed as a dummy pattern between the electrode 1032 and the In this way, it is preferable to fill a part of the gap between the electrode 1031 and the electrode 1032 with a dummy pad. By filling the gap with turns, the variation in light transmittance can be reduced. This can reduce uneven brightness of light passing through the filter 1010.
[0407] Examples of the conductive material having light-transmitting properties include indium oxide, indium tin oxide, and indium Conductive oxides such as zinc oxide, zinc oxide, and zinc oxide doped with gallium can be used. It is also possible to use a film containing graphene. The film containing graphene can be, for example, For example, the graphene oxide film can be formed by reducing a film containing the graphene oxide. As a method for this, a method of applying heat can be mentioned.
[0408] Alternatively, a metal or alloy thin enough to have light transmission properties can be used. For example, gold, Silver, platinum, magnesium, nickel, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, iron, cobalt Metals such as copper, palladium, or titanium, or alloys containing such metals can be used. Alternatively, nitrides of the metals or alloys (for example, titanium nitride) may be used. A laminated film in which two or more conductive films containing the above-mentioned materials are laminated may also be used.
[0409] In addition, the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are thin enough to be invisible to the user. For example, such a conductive film may be processed into a lattice (mesh) shape. By doing so, high conductivity and high visibility of the display device can be obtained. 0 nm or more and 100 μm or less, preferably 50 nm or more and 50 μm or less, more preferably 50 It is preferable that the width of the part is 10 μm or less. A conductive film having a turn width is preferable because it is extremely difficult for a user to visually recognize the conductive film.
[0410] As an example, FIGS. 19A to 19D show enlarged views of a portion of the electrode 1031 or the electrode 1032. FIG. 19(A) shows an example in which a lattice-shaped conductive film 1061 is used. At this time, the conductive film 1061 is arranged so as not to overlap with a display element of the display device. This is preferable because it does not block the light from the display device. The direction of the grid is the same as the arrangement of the display elements, and the period of the grid is an integer number of the period of the arrangement of the display elements. Preferably, it is doubled.
[0411] Also, in FIG. 19(B), a lattice-shaped conductive film 1 is processed so that triangular openings are formed. 19(A) shows an example of 062. By adopting such a configuration, Therefore, it is possible to reduce the overall resistance.
[0412] Also, as shown in FIG. 19(C), a conductive film 106 having a pattern shape without periodicity 3. With this configuration, when the display unit of the display device is overlapped, moire is prevented. This can prevent the following from occurring.
[0413] Alternatively, conductive nanowires may be used for the electrodes 1031 and 1032. D) shows an example in which a nanowire 1064 is used. By distributing them at an appropriate density so that 64 contact each other, a two-dimensional network is created. For example, the average diameter of The average value is 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less, preferably 5 nm or more and 50 nm or less, and more preferably Nanowires of 5 nm or more and 25 nm or less can be used. is a metal nanowire such as Ag nanowire, Cu nanowire, or Al nanowire, or Carbon nanotubes can be used. For example, Ag nanowires have high optical transparency. The efficiency can be 89% or more, and the sheet resistance can be 40 to 100 Ω / □.
[0414] In FIG. 18A and the like, the top surfaces of the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are formed of a plurality of diamonds. Although an example in which the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are connected in the same direction is shown, the shape of the electrodes 1031 and 1032 may be However, various top surfaces such as a strip (rectangular), a curved strip, a zigzag shape, etc. may be used. In the above example, the electrodes 1031 and 1032 are perpendicular to each other. Although shown as being arranged perpendicular to the The angle between the two electrodes may be less than 90 degrees.
[0415] In FIGS. 20A to 20C, instead of the electrodes 1031 and 1032, thin wire-shaped electrodes are used. 20(A) shows an example in which electrodes 1036 and 1037 having a shape are used. In the example shown in FIG. 1, linear electrodes 1036 and 1037 are arranged in a grid pattern. This shows:
[0416] In addition, in FIG. 20B, the electrode 1036 and the electrode 1037 have a zigzag top surface. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20(B), By arranging the electrodes with a relative offset rather than overlapping the centers, the electrodes 1036 and 1037 are The length of the portion where the electrodes 037 face each other in parallel can be increased, and the mutual capacitance between the electrodes is increased. This is preferable because it improves the detection sensitivity. The upper surface shape of the electrode 6 and the electrode 1037 is a shape in which a part of the straight line part of the zigzag shape protrudes. Then, even if the center positions of the straight line portions are arranged to overlap, the length of the opposing portions can be increased. This allows the mutual capacitance between the electrodes to be increased.
[0417] Enlarged views of the area enclosed by the dashed line in Figure 20(B) are shown in Figures 21(A), 21(B), and 21(C), and Figure 20 Enlarged views of the areas enclosed by the dashed line in (C) are shown in Figures 21(D), (E), and (F), respectively. Each figure also shows an electrode 1036, an electrode 1037, and an intersection 1038 where these intersect.

[0418] <Example 7 of input / output device configuration> A configuration that can be used for the detection panel 600 of the input / output device 500TP of one embodiment of the present invention. 22 and 23, the following will be described. Specifically, instead of the light emitting element, a liquid crystal The configuration of an in-cell type touch panel using an element as a display element will be described.
[0419] FIG. 22(A) shows a part of a pixel circuit provided in the display unit of the touch panel exemplified in this configuration example. FIG.
[0420] One pixel has at least a transistor 2503 and a liquid crystal element 2504. The gate of the transistor 2503 is connected to a wiring 2501, and the source or drain is connected to a wiring 250 2 are electrically connected to each other.
[0421] The pixel circuit includes a plurality of wirings (for example, wiring 2510_1, wiring 2510_ 2) and a plurality of wirings (for example, wiring 2511) extending in the Y direction, which are mutually The electrodes are arranged to intersect with each other, forming a capacitance therebetween.
[0422] In addition, among the pixels provided in the pixel circuit, some adjacent pixels are provided with The electrodes of the liquid crystal elements are electrically connected to each other to form one block. The blocks are divided into island blocks (e.g., block 2515_1, block 2515_2) and Linear blocks extending in the Y direction (e.g., block 2516) are classified into two types. Although FIG. 22 shows only a part of the pixel circuit, these two types of The blocks are arranged repeatedly in the X and Y directions.
[0423] The wiring 2510_1 (or 2510_2) extending in the X direction is arranged in an island-shaped block 2515 _1 (or block 2515_2). The wiring 2510_1 extending in the X direction is discontinuously arranged along the X direction via a linear block. The island-shaped blocks 2515_1 are electrically connected to each other. The wiring 2511 is electrically connected to a linear block 2516 .
[0424] FIG. 22B shows a plurality of wirings 2510 extending in the X direction and a plurality of wirings 2510 extending in the Y direction. 2510. The wiring 2510 extends in the X direction. An input voltage or a common potential can be input to the wiring 25 extending in the Y direction. A ground potential is input to each of the wirings 2511, or the wiring 2511 is electrically connected to the detection circuit. It is possible.
[0425] The operation of the above-mentioned touch panel will be described below with reference to FIGS.
[0426] Here, one frame period is divided into a writing period and a detection period. This is the period in which the image data is written, and the wiring 2510 (also called the gate line) is selected in order. On the other hand, the detection period is the period during which sensing is performed by the touch sensor, and the X direction The wiring 2510 extending from the input terminal 2510 is selected in sequence, and an input voltage is input.
[0427] 23A is an equivalent circuit diagram during the writing period. A common potential is input to both the wiring 2510 extending in the Y direction and the wiring 2511 extending in the Y direction. do.
[0428] 23B is an equivalent circuit diagram at a certain point in the detection period. Each of the wirings 2511 extending in the X direction is electrically connected to a detection circuit. Of the wirings 2510, the input voltage is input to the selected one, and the other ones are common. A conducting potential is input.
[0429] In this way, the image writing period and the period for sensing by the touch sensor are separated. This prevents noise caused by touch sensitivity when writing to pixels. This can suppress the decrease in sensitivity of the sensor.

[0472] This embodiment can be appropriately combined with other embodiment modes shown in this specification.
[0473] For example, in this specification, when it is explicitly stated that X and Y are connected, In this case, X and Y are electrically connected, and X and Y are functionally connected. The case where X and Y are directly connected is also considered to be disclosed in this specification. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the predetermined connection relationships, for example, the connection relationships shown in the drawings or text. Connections other than those shown in the drawings or text are also treated as if they were described in the drawings or text. do.
[0474] Here, X and Y are the object (for example, a device, an element, a circuit, a wiring, an electrode, a terminal, a conductive film, a layer, etc.). , etc.).
[0475] An example of a direct connection between X and Y is a circuit that allows electrical connection between X and Y. The elements to be considered (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitance elements, inductors, resistance elements, When no external device (such as a diode, display element, light-emitting element, or load) is connected between X and Y, The elements that allow electrical connection between X and Y (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitors) elements, inductors, resistors, diodes, display elements, light-emitting elements, loads, etc.) , X and Y are connected.
[0476] An example of an electrical connection between X and Y is The elements to be considered (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitance elements, inductors, resistance elements, One or more devices (such as diodes, display elements, light-emitting elements, and loads) can be connected between X and Y. It is possible. The switch has a function to control on / off. A switch can be in a conducting state (ON state) or a non-conducting state (OFF state), allowing current to flow. The switch has the function of controlling whether or not the current flows. When X and Y are electrically connected, This includes the case where Y is directly connected.
[0477] An example of a functional connection between X and Y is a function that allows the functional connection between X and Y. Circuits that perform the above functions (for example, logic circuits (inverters, NAND circuits, NOR circuits, etc.), signal conversion conversion circuits (DA conversion circuits, AD conversion circuits, gamma correction circuits, etc.), potential level conversion circuits (voltage power supply circuits (voltage boost circuits, voltage drop circuits, etc.), level shifter circuits that change the signal potential level, etc.) , voltage source, current source, switching circuit, amplifier circuit (which can increase the signal amplitude or current amount, etc.) circuits, operational amplifiers, differential amplifier circuits, source follower circuits, buffer circuits, etc.), signal generation One or more circuits (e.g., memory circuits, control circuits, etc.) can be connected between X and Y. For example, even if another circuit is inserted between X and Y, the signal output from X If X is transmitted to Y, then X and Y are considered to be functionally connected. When X and Y are functionally connected, there is a direct connection between X and Y and a direct connection between X and Y. This also includes the case where the and are electrically connected.
[0478] In addition, if it is explicitly stated that X and Y are electrically connected, are electrically connected (i.e., there is another element or circuit between X and Y) X and Y are functionally connected (i.e., X and Y are functionally connected) and (When there is a functional connection between them via another circuit) and when X and Y are directly connected (i.e., when X and Y are connected without any other element or circuit between them) is considered to be disclosed in the present specification. If it is explicitly stated that it is connected, The same content is considered to be disclosed in the present specification.
[0479] For example, if the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected via Z1 (or (not shown), electrically connected to X, and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected to Z 2 (or not), and is electrically connected to Y, or the source of the transistor (or the first terminal, etc.) is directly connected to a part of Z1, and another part of Z1 is directly connected to X. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is directly connected to a part of Z2. and another part of Z2 is directly connected to Y, It is possible to do so.
[0480] For example, "X and Y and the source (or first terminal, etc.) and drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor" The terminals of the transistor (or the first terminal) are electrically connected to each other. 1 terminal, etc.), the drain of the transistor (or the second terminal, etc.), and Y. It can be expressed as "connected to the source (or the first The first terminal of the transistor is electrically connected to X, and the drain of the transistor is electrically connected to the second terminal of the transistor. The transistor source (or first terminal, etc.) is electrically connected to Y, and the transistor source (or first terminal, etc.) is electrically connected to X. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor, Y, is electrically connected in this order. " Alternatively, "X is the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor. and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) are electrically connected to Y, and X, the source (or first terminal, etc.) of a transistor, the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor ), Y is provided in this order of connection. By specifying the order of connections in the circuit configuration using a simple expression method, Distinguish between the source (or first terminal, etc.) and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor. The technical scope can be determined by the above.
[0481] Alternatively, for example, "the source (or first terminal, etc.) of a transistor" is electrically connected to X through at least a first connection path, and the first connection path is , and the second connection path is a transistor through a transistor. The source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor The first connection path is a path via Z1, and the second connection path is a path between the first and second transistors. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the capacitor is electrically connected to Y through at least a third connection path. the third connection path does not have the second connection path, and the third connection path The connection path is the path via Z2. The source (or first terminal, etc.) of the resistor is connected to the resistor via Z1 by at least the first connection path. and electrically connected to X, and the first connection path does not have a second connection path; The second connection path has a connection path through a transistor, and (or the second terminal, etc.) is connected to Y via Z2 by at least a third connection path. The third connection path does not have the second connection path. Alternatively, the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor may be at least The first electrical path is electrically connected to X through Z1. The primary path does not have a second electrical path, and the second electrical path is a From the source (or first terminal, etc.) to the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected to at least a third The third electrical path is electrically connected to Y through Z2. , does not have a fourth electrical path, and the fourth electrical path is (or second terminal, etc.) to the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor. Using the same expression as these examples, the circuit configuration By defining the connection path in Distinguishing between the first terminal (or the second terminal, etc.) and the drain (or the second terminal, etc.) to determine the technical scope. can be done.
[0482] These representation methods are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these representation methods. , Y, Z1, Z2 are objects (e.g., devices, elements, circuits, wiring, electrodes, terminals, conductive films, layer, etc.).
[0483] In addition, the circuit diagram shows independent components as if they are electrically connected to each other. Even if the components are different, one component may have the functions of multiple components. For example, when a part of the wiring also functions as an electrode, one conductive film functions as both the wiring and the electrode. Therefore, the electrode in this specification has the functions of both components. The term "electromagnetic connection" refers to a case where one conductive film has the functions of multiple components. This also falls within the scope of the above. [Explanation of symbols]
