Abstract

Disclosed herein is a display device including a pair of substrates opposed to each other, a pixel region provided between the substrates, and an external wiring provided on an extension of one of the substrates. The external wiring is disposed in a recess formed on the extension. With this structure, the external wiring provided on the extension can be reliably protected to thereby improve the reliability of the display device.

Claims (15)

1. A display device comprising a pair of substrates opposed to each other, a pixel region provided between said substrates, and an external wiring provided on an extension of one of said substrates;

said external wiring being disposed in a recess formed on said extension.

2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the depth of said recess is greater than or equal to the height of said external wiring.

3. A display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a multilayer thin film formed on said extension in the periphery of said recess;

the depth of said recess extending from said multilayer thin film to said substrate having said extension.

4. A display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit element provided on said extension, and an external wiring member connected to said extension;

said recess being formed between said circuit element and a connected portion of said external wiring member.

5. A manufacturing method for a display device having a pair of substrates opposed to each other, a pixel region formed between said substrates, and an external wiring formed on an extension of one of said substrates for inputting a signal to said pixel region, said manufacturing method comprising the steps of:

forming a recess on said extension; and

disposing said external wiring in said recess.

6. A manufacturing method according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of forming through holes in the formation of said pixel region;

said step of forming said recess being the same as said step of forming said through holes.

7. A manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein the depth of said recess is greater than or equal to the height of said external wiring.

8. A manufacturing method according to claim 5 , wherein said display device further has a multilayer thin film formed on said extension in the periphery of said recess;

the depth of said recess extending from said multilayer thin film to said substrate having said extension.
