Abstract

The present invention provides a signal transmission film, a control signal part and a liquid crystal display including the signal transmission film that prevents the damage of wires due to electrolysis. In the present invention, a lead of several to several tens microns are formed on the signal transmission film by printing and patterning a copper wire on a high molecular film. The signal transmission film comprises a first signal lead transmitting a first signal voltage; a second signal lead transmitting a second signal voltage lower than the first signal voltage; and a lead formed between the first signal lead and the second signal lead. The lead could be several to several tens microns thick, the same voltage as the first signal voltage could be applied to the lead and the lead could be a dummy lead.

Claims (16)

1. A wire contact structure, comprising:

a first substrate;

a first wire formed on the first substrate and having a first terminal;

a first insulation layer formed over the first substrate and having a contact hole exposing the first terminal;

a second substrate;

a second wire formed on the second substrate and having a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal,

wherein the second terminal fully overlaps the contact hole in a length direction thereof and partially overlaps the contact hole in a width direction thereof.

2. The wire contact structure of claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary pad formed at the contact hole and covering the first terminal.

3. The wire contact structure of claim 2 , further comprising a second insulation layer formed on the substrate, wherein the first wire is formed on the second insulation layer.

4. The wire contact structure of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate of a liquid crystal display (LCD) device.

5. The wire contact structure of claim 4 , wherein the first wire is a gate signal line or a data signal line of the LCD device.

6. The wire contact structure of claim 4 , wherein the first wire is a dummy signal line.

7. The wire contact structure of claim 4 , wherein the second substrate is a signal transmission film attached to the TFT substrate.

8. The wire contact structure of claim 7 , wherein the second wire transfers a gate signal or a data signal.

9. The wire contact structure of claim 7 , wherein the second wire is a dummy wire.

10. The wire contact structure of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal exposes two sides of the contact hole, the two sides facing each other in the width direction thereof.
