Abstract

An array substrate includes a circumference wiring along with a periphery of an active area. A seal element is arranged surrounding the active area and forming a liquid crystal injecting mouth, and a seal material seals the liquid crystal injecting mouth. The circumference wiring is located in the liquid crystal injecting mouth and extends in a first direction. The circumference wiring includes a first wiring portion formed of a plurality of straight line portions, a second wiring portion in the shape of a grid formed of a plurality of straight line portions and a third wiring portion formed of a plurality of straight line portions. The respective straight line portions of the first, second and third wiring portions are connected along the first direction in the liquid crystal injecting mouth.

a third wiring portion formed of a plurality of straight line portions having a fifth straight line portion extending in the first direction and connected with the third straight line portion, and a sixth straight line portion extending in the first direction and connected with the fourth straight line portion, the fifth straight line portion and the sixth straight line portion being arranged in the second direction,

the second wiring portion is formed in a shape of a grid at a place where the third straight line portion and the fourth straight line portion cross each other, and

the first wiring portion, the second wiring portion, and the third wiring portion are formed integrally.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second wiring portion, a place where the third straight line portion and the fourth straight line portion cross each other is arranged substantially in the center of the liquid crystal injecting mouth.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the respective straight line portions of the first and third wiring portions are arranged with an equal interval therebetween, respectively, in the second direction.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the length of respective straight line portions of the first and third wiring portions along the first direction is longer on an edge side than in a central portion.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein a space between respective straight line portions of each of the first wiring portion, the second wiring portion, and the third wiring portion is substantially the same as a line width of the respective straight line portions.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the straight line portions of each of the first wiring portion and the third wiring portion are formed in shapes of stripes, respectively.

7. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate including a circumference wiring along with a periphery of an active area which displays images;

a second substrate arranged facing the first substrate;
