Abstract: It is an object to reduce 3D moiré and provide a higher-quality three dimensional image display device. The three dimensional image display device includes a display panel on which rows of pixels for right eye and rows of pixels for left eye are alternately arranged in a lateral direction, the display panel planarly displaying an image for three dimensional display, and a parallax forming liquid crystal panel for forming a parallax in an image for right eye and an image for left eye displayed by the display panel. Lateral direction center positions, which are vertexes of luminance in the lateral direction of an image for right eye and an image for left eye, where the image for three dimensional display is visually sensed through the parallax forming liquid crystal panel, are respectively positions shifted in the lateral direction in different positions in the screen longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An edge of the dummy opening includes an edge formed of a part of an edge of the stationary opening assumed to be arranged in the peripheral area with regularity of the stationary openings. The shutter in the display area makes the driven opening and the stationary opening be communicated with each other to transmit light at the first position, and is disposed so that the driven opening and the stationary opening are shifted from each other to block the light at the second position. In the case in which the shutters are located in the second position, the distance between the driven opening and the edge in the peripheral area and the distance between the driven opening and a part of an edge of the stationary opening in the display area have a correlative relationship with each other.

Abstract: The invention prevents disconnection of data lines that traverse two-layered gate lines via an insulating film. Data lines 20 override and thereby traverse gate lines 10 with an insulating film deposited therebetween. The gate lines 10 each have a two-layered structure including a lower AlCu layer 11 and an upper MoCr layer 12. When the thickness ratio of the upper layer 12 to the lower layer 11 is in the range of 0.4 to 1.0, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the etch speed of the upper layer 12 near the side edges of the gate line 10, which occurs due to galvanization. As a result, the upper layer 12 is prevented from having an overhang. The absence of overhangs on the gate lines 10 prevents the data lines 20 from being disconnected at the intersections of the gate lines 10 and the data lines 20.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to eliminate COG irregularities around a display area caused by distortion of a glass substrate generated when IC chips are connected by a COG method in a liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display panel configured using an opposed substrate and a TFT substrate and a backlight are accommodated using an upper frame and a lower frame. IC chips are connected to an end portion of the TFT substrate of the liquid crystal display panel via ACFs by the COG method. Protrusions formed at the upper frame are in contact with the both sides of each IC chip, and the distortion of the TFT substrate generated by the COG method is eliminated by the protrusions. The TFT substrate can be flattened by eliminating the distortion, and the COG irregularities around the display area can be suppressed.

Abstract: A break on a video signal line is prevented during patterning on the video signal line. A video signal line, a drain electrode, and a source electrode are simultaneously formed in the same layer. The video signal line includes three layers: a base layer, an AlSi layer, and a cap layer. Conventionally, an alloy having a high etching rate is formed at the boundary between the AlSi layer and the cap layer, causing breakage during patterning on the video signal line. According to the present invention, in the formation of the video signal line, the AlSi layer is formed by sputtering, a TFT is exposed to the atmosphere to form an Al oxide layer on the surface of the AlSi layer, and then the cap layer is formed by sputtering. Thus, the formation of an alloy having a high etching rate on a part of the AlSi layer is prevented, precluding the occurrence of a break on the video signal line.
