  • LCD device having scanning lines and common lines
    Patent number: 7626671
    Abstract: An active matrix LCD device includes a TFT panel, a counter panel and liquid crystal interposed therebetween. The TFT panel includes a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of common lines formed in one layer and extending in a row direction, and a plurality of signal lines extending in a column direction. A coupling line for coupling the common lines together is disposed outside the pixel array of the TFT panel, such as in a TCP mounted on the TFT panel and mounting thereon a driver IC for driving the scanning lines.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 1, 2009
    Assignee: NEC LCD Technologies, Ltd.
