Abstract

A transverse-electric-field liquid crystal display apparatus includes a transparent conductive resin portion and an electrode portion. The transparent conductive resin portion is provided on a surface of a counter substrate of a liquid crystal panel. The electrode portion is provided on an electrode pad portion of the liquid crystal panel and electrically connected to the transparent conductive resin portion and also to a ground wire of a printed circuit board connected to the liquid crystal panel.

Claims (14)

1. A transverse-electric-field liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

a transparent conductive resin portion that is provided on a surface of a counter substrate of a liquid crystal panel;

an electrode portion that is provided on an electrode pad portion of the liquid crystal panel and electrically connected to the transparent conductive resin portion and also to a ground wire of a printed circuit board connected to the liquid crystal panel, wherein the transparent conductive resin portion is provided between the liquid crystal panel and a transparent protective cover that protects the liquid crystal panel; and

a conductive portion that is provided between the transparent protective cover and the electrode portion and has a lower resistance than that of the transparent conductive resin portion.

2. The transverse-electric-field liquid crystal display apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a transparent resin portion that is provided between the transparent conductive resin portion and the transparent protective cover and functions as a binding agent.

3. An antistatic method for a transverse-electric-field liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

providing a transparent conductive resin portion on a surface of a counter substrate of a liquid crystal panel;

providing an electrode portion electrically connected to a ground wire of a printed circuit board connected to the liquid crystal panel on an electrode pad portion of the liquid crystal panel, and electrically connecting the electrode portion to the transparent conductive resin portion, wherein the transparent conductive resin portion is provided between the liquid crystal panel and a transparent protective cover that protects the liquid crystal panel; and

providing a conductive portion between the transparent protective cover and the electrode portion, wherein the conductive portion has a lower resistance than that of the transparent conductive resin portion.

4. An electronic apparatus including a transverse-electric-field liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:

a transparent conductive resin portion that is provided on a surface of a counter substrate of a liquid crystal panel;

an electrode portion that is provided on an electrode pad portion of the liquid crystal panel and electrically connected to the transparent conductive resin portion and also to a ground wire of a printed circuit board connected to the liquid crystal panel, wherein the transparent conductive resin portion is provided between the liquid crystal panel and a transparent protective cover that protects the liquid crystal panel; and

a conductive portion that is provided between the transparent protective cover and the electrode portion and has a lower resistance than that of the transparent conductive resin portion.
