  • Publication number: 20050007533
    Abstract: On a substrate of a liquid crystal display device, there are arranged pixel electrodes (6) in a matrix-like formation, TFTs (7) connected to the pixel electrodes (6), video lines (5) and scan lines (2) both of which connected the TFTs (7), and a protective film interposed between the video lines (5) and the pixel electrodes (6). On the substrate, two video lines (5) are laid side by side between the pixel electrodes, and grooves (22) are formed in the protective film between the adjacent video lines (5). Video lead-out lines and scan lead-out lines are arranged in a similar manner.
