Abstract

A liquid crystal display device including gate wiring parts for supplying a scanning signal to switching elements formed in a matrix form in a display area, and source wiring parts for supplying a video signal to the switching elements, the liquid crystal display device having a plurality of inspection switching elements arranged in an area outside the display area, and connected to the gate wiring parts or the source wiring parts and a wiring part for electrically and mutually connecting source electrodes of the inspection switching elements by high resistance elements.

Claims (16)

1. A liquid crystal display device including,

gate wiring parts for supplying a scanning signal to switching elements formed in a matrix form in a display area, and

source wiring parts for supplying a video signal to the switching elements, the liquid crystal display device comprising:

a plurality of inspection switching elements comprising thin-film transistors arranged in an area outside the display area, and connected to the gate wiring parts or the source wiring parts;

a wiring part for electrically and mutually connecting source electrodes of the thin-film transistors by high resistance elements; and

a common wiring part for mutually connecting gate electrodes of the thin-film transistors,

wherein in the common wiring part, a region having a resistivity higher than a resistivity of the other region of the common wiring part is provided between the gate electrodes.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the region having the higher resistivity is formed of ITO.

3. A liquid crystal display device including,

gate wiring parts for supplying a scanning signal to switching elements formed in a matrix form in a display area, and

source wiring parts for supplying a video signal to the switching elements, the liquid crystal display device comprising:

a plurality of inspection switching elements comprising thin-film transistors arranged in an area outside the display area, and connected to the gate wiring parts or the source wiring parts;

a wiring part for electrically and mutually connecting source electrodes of the thin-film transistors by high resistance elements, and for electrically and mutually connecting drain electrodes of the thin-film transistors by high resistance elements; and

a common wiring part for mutually connecting gate electrodes of the thin-film transistors,

wherein in the common wiring part, a region having a resistivity higher than a resistivity of other region of the common wiring part is provided between the gate electrodes.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the region having the higher resistivity is formed of ITO.
