Abstract: A black matrix is formed to an edge of a counter substrate. Then, a BM slit, which is an area where the black matrix is not present, is formed in the periphery of a seal material in order to prevent water or moisture from penetrating from the interface between the counter substrate and the black matrix. Then, a light shielding metal is formed in a layer other than a lead line layer, on the side of a TFT substrate, in order to prevent light from leaking from the BM slit. With this structure, it is possible to prevent the light from leaking from the BM slit around a screen. As a result, the degradation of the contrast can be prevented in the periphery of the screen.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display device prevents a barrier wire breakage failure and includes a parallax barrier panel resistant to static electricity. The 3D display device has a liquid crystal parallax barrier panel disposed over a display panel. The parallax barrier panel has a first substrate having an electrode formed flat thereon and a second substrate having a display area, the first substrate and the second substrate having liquid crystal sandwiched therebetween. The second substrate has barrier electrodes extending in a first direction and arrayed at a first pitch in a second direction, has a first bus electrode extending in the second direction outside the display area along a first side thereof, and has a second bus electrode extending in the second direction outside the display area along a second side thereof opposite to the first side. The barrier electrodes are connected to the first and the second bus electrodes.

Abstract: This invention envisages flexible wiring substrate terminals serving to connect with the wires for preventing dielectric breakdown caused by static electricity during the manufacturing process, and reducing the number of the flexible wiring substrate terminals. On a mother TFT substrate, signal lines extend over each liquid crystal cell in a manner flanking a scribe line between the adjacent liquid crystal cells. The signal lines of each liquid crystal cell are connected with connecting lines striding the scribe line. This reduces the number of static electricity countermeasure wires extending from the flexible wiring substrate terminals of each liquid crystal cell. Once completed, the individual liquid crystal cells are separated from one another, with no adverse effects caused by the connecting lines.

Abstract: This invention aims at reducing the probability of short-circuiting between terminals in a display device in which an IC driver is connected by COG. Terminals for connection with the IC driver are formed in a terminal region of a TFT substrate (100). The terminals are each comprised of a terminal metal (60), a first through-bole formed in a first insulation film (107), a second through-hole formed in a second insulation film (109), a first ITO (20) formed in the first through-hole and being in contact with the terminal metal (60), and a second ITO (30) formed over the first ITO (20). The second ITO (30) is formed within an area where the second ITO is in contact with the first ITO but is not formed outside the second through-hole. This ensures that the distance between the ITOs of the adjacent terminals can be enlarged, whereby the probability of short-circuiting between the terminals can be lowered.
