Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can enhance the accuracy in feeding back a common potential applied to common voltage supply lines. A display panel includes a common bus line electrically connected to common electrodes and formed annularly on a periphery of the display region, a common sensing line for feeding back a voltage of the common bus line to a control printed circuit board, a scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line for supplying electricity for driving a scanning signal drive circuit, and a common-voltage-supply-use line for supplying a common voltage to the common bus line. The common-voltage-supply-use line, the common sensing line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line are formed along one side of the display panel to which at least the scanning signal drive circuit is connected. The common sensing line is formed between the common-voltage-supply-use line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line on one side of the display panel.

Claims (17)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a display panel including a plurality of scanning signal lines, a plurality of video signal lines, pixel electrodes each of which is arranged in a pixel region defined by the scanning signal lines and the video signal lines, and a common electrode, and

a control printed circuit board including a scanning signal drive circuit for supplying a scanning signal to the scanning signal lines, a video signal drive circuit for supplying a video signal to the video signal lines, and a control circuit for controlling the signals supplied to the scanning signal drive circuit and the video signal drive circuit, wherein

the display panel includes a common bus line electrically connected to the common electrodes and formed annularly on a periphery of the display region, a common sensing line for feeding back a voltage of the common bus line to the control printed circuit board, a scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line for supplying electricity for driving the scanning signal drive circuit, and a common-voltage-supply-use line for supplying a common voltage to the common bus line, and

the common-voltage-supply-use line, the common sensing line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line are formed along one side of the display panel to which at least the scanning signal drive circuit is connected, and the common sensing line is formed between the common-voltage-supply-use line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line on one side of the display panel.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of printed circuit boards is connected to the display panel, and the scanning signal drive circuit is formed on the printed circuit boards, and

all of the common-voltage-supply-use line, the common sensing line, and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line are also formed on the printed circuit board on which the scanning signal drive circuit is formed.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the common-voltage-supply-use line, the common sensing line and the scanning-signal-drive-circuit-use power source line are also formed on the display panel.

4. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the video signal drive circuit is formed on the printed circuit board, and

the printed circuit board on which the video signal drive circuit is formed is connected to one side of the display panel different from a side of the display panel to which the printed circuit board on which the scanning signal drive circuit is formed is connected.

5. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 , wherein the common-voltage-supply-use line is also formed on the printed circuit board on which the video signal drive circuit is formed.

6. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 , wherein the printed circuit board is made of a flexible material.

7. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the control printed circuit board includes a common voltage generation circuit for generating a common potential to be supplied to the common-voltage-supply-use line, and

the common voltage generation circuit includes a feedback circuit for adjusting a voltage of a common potential generated by the common voltage generation circuit by comparing the voltage of the common potential generated by the common voltage generation circuit and a potential acquired by the common sensing line.

8. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a connection portion between the common sensing line and the common bus line is formed on one side of the display panel to which the scanning signal drive circuit or the video signal drive circuit is not connected.

9. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the common bus line is arranged at a position closer to a peripheral portion of the display panel than an outer periphery of the display region.

10. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein lines are formed in a net shape within the annular common bus line for supplying the common voltage to the common electrodes.
