Abstract

A synthetic quartz glass substrate (1) supporting active elements is formed of high-purity synthetic quartz glass having, a hydroxyl group content of 200 ppm or below and chlorine group content of 50 ppm or below. The substrate (1) may have an impurity level of 1 ppm or less sodium and 1 ppm or less aluminum. TFTs (6), i.e., active elements, and picture element electrodes (7) are formed on the surface of the synthetic quartz glass substrate (1) to construct a driving panel for a liquid crystal display of an active matrix type. A liquid crystal panel is formed by disposing the driving panel and a counter substrate (2) opposite to each other and sandwiching a liquid crystal layer (3) between the driving panel and the counter substrate (2).
