The invention is to provide a resistor trimming method capable of adjusting a resistance value with ultrahigh precision and having excellent production efficiency. To achieve the object, a start point (S1) at a distance from a resistor (4) is irradiated with laser light while probes are brought into contact with a pair of surface electrodes (3) to measure a resistance value of the resistor (4). The place irradiated with the laser light is scanned so that a first trimming groove (5) extending in a direction perpendicular to a current direction can be formed in the resistor (4). Then, the place irradiated with the laser light is returned by a predetermined amount from an end point (first turning point (T1)) of the first trimming groove (5) to be set as a second turning point (T2). With the second turning point (T2) as a start point, scanning and cutting is performed to forma second trimming groove (6). Thus, the resistance value of the resistor (4) is adjusted to a target resistance value with high precision.

Methods and devices for producing a composite pane having a functional coating are presented. The functional coating is applied to part of a surface of a base pane, and a first pane is cut out from the base pane while introducing a frame-shaped peripheral coating-free region into the functional coating having an inner region that is not adjacent a side edge of the first pane. The surface of the first pane with the functional coating is then bonded via a thermoplastic intermediate layer to a surface of a second pane.

A laser processing apparatus includes a support portion, a laser processing head, a vertical movement mechanism, a horizontal movement mechanism, and a controller. The controller controls starting and stopping of emission of a laser light from the laser processing head based on rotation information in a state where a focusing point is positioned at a position along a circumferential edge of an effective region in a target, while rotating the support portion, to perform a circumferential edge process for forming a modified region along the circumferential edge of the effective region in the target.
