Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate including a first insulating substrate, and a second substrate including a second insulating substrate arranged on a display surface side on which an image is displayed to the first substrate, a light-shielding layer arranged on a side of the second insulating substrate, which is opposed to the first substrate, a gate line and a source line arranged on a side of the light-shielding layer, which is opposed to the first substrate, to extend along the light-shielding layer, a switching element electrically connected to the gate line and the source line, and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching element.

Claims (23)

1. A display device comprising:

a backlight unit;

a first substrate including a first insulating substrate; and

a second substrate including a second insulating substrate arranged on a display surface side on which an image is displayed to the first substrate, a light-shielding layer arranged on a side of the second insulating substrate, which is opposed to the first substrate, a gate line and a source line arranged on a side of the light-shielding layer, which is opposed to the first substrate, to extend along the light-shielding layer, a switching element electrically connected to the gate line and the source line, a color filter layer covering the switching element, a pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching element, an overcoat layer located between the color filter layer and the pixel electrode, and a signal supply source,

wherein

the first substrate is located between the backlight unit and the second substrate,

the light-shielding layer directly contacts the second insulating substrate,

the second substrate is larger than the first substrate and includes a counter portion opposed to the first substrate and a mounting portion which is located on an outer side than the counter portion,

the signal supply source is mounted on a side of the mounting portion, which is opposed to the backlight unit,

the switching element comprises a semiconductor layer arranged on a side of the light-shielding layer, which is opposed to the first substrate,

the semiconductor layer directly contacts the light-shielding layer,

the overcoat layer directly contacts the color filter layer, and

a thickness of the color filter in a position overlapping the pixel electrode is greater than a thickness of the color filter in a position overlapping the source line.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the second substrate further includes a common electrode opposed to the pixel electrode and is located between the pixel electrode and the color filter layer.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover glass arranged on the display surface side of the second substrate.

4. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

a sensor substrate located between the cover glass and the second substrate to detect an object which contacts or approaches the cover glass.

5. The display device of claim 3 , further comprising:

an optical element located between the cover glass and the mounting portion overlapping the signal supply source.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the signal supply source does not overlap the backlight unit.
