  • Publication number: 20120200482
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel 100 has: a first substrate 11, having an active region AA having pixel electrodes and TFTs, and a gate driver region GDR provided on the outside of the active region AA; and a second substrate 21, disposed opposing the first substrate 11 with a liquid crystal layer 30 interposed therebetween, and having an opposite electrode 23. The opposite electrode 23 opposes the gate driver region GDR with the liquid crystal layer 30 interposed therebetween, and an insulating resin layer 26 is formed on the region of the opposite electrode 23 so that the insulating resin layer 26 opposes the gate driver region GDR. Thus, short-circuit failure between the driver region of the TFT substrate and the opposite electrode is eliminated.
