Abstract

Provided is a display device, including: a drive circuit for inputting input signals generated based on video signals corresponding to at least red, green, and blue input from an exterior thereof; and a substrate including a plurality of connection wiring lines and a plurality of signal lines formed thereon, the plurality of connection wiring lines being connected to the drive circuit, the plurality of signal lines being provided in a display region, to which output signals output from the drive circuit are input through the plurality of connection wiring lines. The plurality of connection wiring lines supplied with the output signals corresponding to the respective colors are formed in layers different from each other corresponding to the respective colors on the substrate.

Claims (37)

1. A display device, comprising:

a drive circuit for inputting input signals generated based on video signals corresponding to at least red, green, and blue input from an exterior of the display device; and

a substrate including a plurality of connection wiring lines and a plurality of signal lines formed thereon,

the plurality of connection wiring lines being connected to the drive circuit and being provided in a region outside a display region,

the plurality of signal lines being provided in the display region, to which output signals output from the drive circuit are input through the plurality of connection wiring lines,

wherein the plurality of connection wiring lines supplied with the output signals corresponding to the respective colors are formed in layers different from each other corresponding to the respective colors on the substrate,

wherein the display device comprises:

an R layer in which the plurality of connection wiring lines to be supplied with the output signal corresponding to red are formed;

a G layer in which the plurality of connection wiring lines to be supplied with the output signal corresponding to green are formed; and

a B layer in which the plurality of connection wiring lines to be supplied with the output signal corresponding to blue are formed,

wherein the R layer, the G layer, and the B layer are laminated through insulating layers therebetween,

wherein the plurality of signal lines are respectively connected to the plurality of connection wiring lines via contact holes formed through the insulating layers, and

wherein the respective contact holes to the R layer, the G layer and the B layer have different depths with respect to each other.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising correcting section for correcting the video signals in accordance with positions of layers in which the plurality of connection wiring lines to be supplied with the output signals corresponding to the respective colors are provided,

wherein signals corrected by the correcting section are input to the drive circuit as the input signals.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the correcting section sets a correction amount for the video signals larger when corresponding one of the positions of the layers in which corresponding ones of the plurality of connection wiring lines are provided is closer to the substrate.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the correcting section performs correction for enhancing a gray scale corresponding to each of the video signals.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a first layer of an R layer or a G layer or a B layer is located above and directly contacting an adjacent insulating layer,

wherein said first layer of said R layer or G layer or B layer is located above a second layer of an R layer or G layer or B layer when said display device has an orientation where the substrate is in a lower position than each of said R layer, G layer and B layers.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a first insulating layer is directly contacting two of said R, G or B layers.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein a second insulating layer is directly contacting two of said R, G or B layers.

8. A display device, comprising:

a drive circuit for inputting input signals generated based on video signals corresponding to at least red, green, and blue input from an exterior of the display device; and

a substrate including a plurality of connection wiring lines and a plurality of signal lines formed thereon,

the plurality of connection wiring lines being connected to the drive circuit,

the plurality of signal lines being provided in a display region, to which output signals output from the drive circuit are input through the plurality of connection wiring lines,

wherein neighboring two of the plurality of connection wiring lines are formed in layers different from each other on the substrate,

wherein the display device further comprises correcting section for correcting the video signals in accordance with positions of layers in which the plurality of connection wiring lines to be supplied with the output signals corresponding to the respective colors are provided, and

wherein signals corrected by the correcting section are input to the driving circuit as the input signals,

wherein the plurality of connection wiring lines corresponding to the respective colors are classified as first connection wiring lines and second connection wiring lines to be formed in layers different from each other, and

wherein the correcting section sets a correction amount for the video signals corresponding to the first connection wiring lines and a correction amount for the video signals corresponding to the second connection wiring lines different from each other,

wherein the first connection wiring lines are formed in a lower layer on a side closer to the substrate and the second connection wiring lines are formed in an upper layer on the first connection wiring lines through an insulating layer therebetween,

wherein the plurality of connection wiring lines corresponding to red are classified as first R connection wiring lines formed in the lower layer and second R connection wiring lines formed in the upper layer,

wherein the plurality of connection wiring lines corresponding to green are classified as first G connection wiring lines formed in the lower layer and second G connection wiring lines formed in the upper layer,

wherein the plurality of connection wiring lines corresponding to blue are classified as first B connection wiring lines formed in the lower layer and second B connection wiring lines formed in the upper layer, and

wherein the correcting section sets a correction amount for the video signals of red corresponding to the first R connection wiring lines larger than a correction amount for the video signals of red corresponding to the second R connection wiring lines, sets a correction amount for the video signals of green corresponding to the first G connection wiring lines larger than a correction amount for the video signals of green corresponding to the second G connection wiring lines, and sets a correction amount for the video signals of blue corresponding to the first B connection wiring lines larger than a correction amount for the video signals of blue corresponding to the second B connection wiring lines.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the correcting section performs correction for enhancing a gray scale corresponding to each of the video signals.
