Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an active matrix substrate which has no fluctuation in grain size distribution by adding glass frit to ZnO varistor and adjusting the grain size thereof by classification. CONSTITUTION:The varistor powder is prepd. by mixing the additive consisting of ZnO powder and Bi2O3, etc., subjected to grinding and water, subjecting the mixture to temporary calcination, grinding the calcined matter and subjecting the power to regular calcination. The varistor powder and the glass frit are ground and mixed and the mixture is classified only to the varistor powder having a uniform grain size. Such powder is prepd. into a high-viscosity slurry. On the other hand, a transparent electrode 6 and one electrode 14 are previously stuck to the surface of the glass 1 and the slurry is coated by a screen printing method on the surface of the glass 1 from which the transparent electrode 6 is removed. The ZnO varistor 12 is formed when this coating is sintered. The unnecessary part is thereafter covered and the other electrode 13 is formed by vapor deposition or sputtering, etc. The active matrix substrate having no fluctuation in the grain size distribution of ZnO is thereby obtd.
