Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device includes a terminal in which a first insulating film and a second insulating film are formed on a terminal metal, a contact hole is formed on the first insulating film and the second insulating film, and a first ITO is formed on the contact hole and the second insulating film. The terminal is connected to a different circuit through an ACF including conductive particles. The contact hole includes a region in which a second ITO is stacked on the first insulating film and the first ITO is stacked on the second ITO in the contact hole. A width s of a portion where the terminal metal contacts the first ITO in the contact hole is s<d, where the diameter of the conductive particle is d.
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
A TFT substrate including a terminal region and a display region on which a TFT and a pixel electrode are formed in a matrix arrangement, and a terminal formed in the terminal region on the TFT substrate, the terminal including:
a first insulating film and a second insulating film formed on a terminal metal formed on the terminal region;
a contact hole formed in the first insulating film and the second insulating film; and
