Patent number: RE40771Abstract: A liquid crystal display device is formed by arranging a plurality of scanning lines 31, 32, . . . to which scanning signals are successively applied and a plurality of signal lines 41, 42, . . . to which data signals are successively applied to intersect at right angles. Mounted in the vicinity of each of the intersections of the scanning lines 31, 32, . . . and signals lines 41, 42, . . . are a TFT 5 electrically connected to both of the lines, and a pixel electrode 6 connected to the TFT 5. A common electrode is placed to face the pixel electrode 6 with liquid crystals 2 therebetween. One of electrodes of a pixel capacitance formed by the pixel electrode 6 is connected to a common line 9 for supplying a common signal to the common electrode 7. A dummy scanning line 30 for forming a capacitance is arranged outside of the scanning line 31 located at the outermost position on a scanning start side of scanning signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2001Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinya Tanaka, Takayuki Shimada, Takashi Ochi, Yuzuru Kanemori, Mikio Katayama
