  • Patent number: 10042196
    Abstract: The insulating properties of terminal lines on an array substrate can be maintained without adding any steps for avoiding formation of a counter electrode on the peripheral portion of a color filter substrate. A display includes an insulation film formed to cover an electrode formed on a surface of an array substrate, an oxide semiconductor film formed on a surface of a color filter substrate, and a seal member that is located between the insulation film and the oxide semiconductor film, which face each other, and that bonds the insulation film and the oxide semiconductor film together. An area surrounded by the seal member in plan view is taken as a display area. A portion of the oxide semiconductor film that corresponds to the display area is a conductor, and a portion of the oxide semiconductor film that corresponds to the outside of the display area is an insulator.
