Abstract
The present invention is directed to a thin film device in which a function of electrostatic breakdown prevention can be enabled or disabled with ease and at which a member for electrostatic breakdown prevention can be externally provided with ease. The thin film device includes a thin film element, at least two lead conductors and a member for switching. The lead conductors, each connected to the thin film element at one end, are respectively connected to output terminals at the other ends. The member for switching, which is connected between the lead conductors performs a switching operation on energy supplied from the outside to prevent any electrostatic breakdown of the thin film element.
