  • Patent number: 8363192
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel having an active area in which pixels are arranged in a matrix including first and second signal lines and connecting lines. The second signal lines and connecting lines extend in a column direction in the active area. The first signal lines extend in a row direction so as to cross the second signal lines and the connecting lines. The first signal lines are connected to the connecting lines through contact portions provided at the cross area where the first signal lines cross with the connecting lines interposing an insulating layer. The second signal lines and the connecting lines are pulled out from the active area to a signal supply source provided at outside of the active area without detouring in a peripheral region of the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20070013855
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a power supply line for supplying a predetermined potential to a counter-electrode, a power supply pad which is disposed on an insulation film that covers the power supply line, and a connection part which connects the power supply line and the power supply pad via a contact hole that is formed in the insulation film. The connection part is disposed inside an outer edge of a seal region.

  • Publication number: 20060262253
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a transmissive liquid crystal display panel which is disposed on a front side of a display medium that is capable of effecting variable display, and a pair of polarizer plates which are disposed on outer surfaces of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel includes an image display section which is configured to be capable displaying an image, a substantially rectangular transmissive display section which corresponds to a region where the display medium is disposed, and a light shield section which is disposed between the image display section and the transmissive display section. Each of the polarizer plates includes a substantially rectangular aperture corresponding to the region where the display medium is disposed, and an edge which defines the aperture is positioned on the light shield section of the liquid crystal display panel.

  • Patent number: 6163358
    Abstract: A liquid crystal layer is sealed between an array substrate and an opposed substrate arranged to oppose each other with a gap. A multiplicity of particulate spacers are arranged between the array and opposed substrates to maintain the gap therebetween. The array substrate is formed with a transparent insulating film covering signal lines, scanning lines, switching elements and pixel electrodes. The areas of the insulating film opposing the respective pixel electrodes are each formed with a plurality of apertures for limiting the movement of the spacers.
