Abstract

A display device includes a seat holding the spacer. The seat is formed in a superposition region where at least the gate line, the semiconductor layer, the data line, and the organic insulator are superposed on one another in a laminated direction, the superposition region being a region facing the spacer. A whole outer periphery of the seat and the superposition region are superposed on each other in the laminated direction.

Claims (24)

1. A display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

a spacer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the first substrate includes:

a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction;

a first insulator covering the plurality of gate lines;

a semiconductor layer formed on the first insulator;

a plurality of data lines formed on the semiconductor layer to extend in a column direction;

a second insulator covering the plurality of data lines;

an organic insulator formed on the second insulator;

a plurality of pixel electrodes;

a common electrode that is facing the plurality of pixel electrodes and is formed on the organic insulator; and

a common wiring that is electrically connected to the common electrode and is formed on the common electrode,

wherein the common wiring includes a first common wiring that extends in the row direction and extends between pixels adjacent in the column direction, and a second common wiring that extends in the column direction from the first common wiring,

the spacer is facing a seat region where at least a gate line of the plurality of gate lines, the semiconductor layer, a data line of the plurality of data lines, the organic insulator, and the second common wiring are superposed on one another in a laminated direction, and

the second common wiring is formed integrally with the first common wiring.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate further includes a third insulator,

the third insulator is formed so as to cover the common electrode and the common wiring, and

the plurality of pixel electrodes is formed on the third insulator.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the gate line, the semiconductor layer, and the data line protrude from the seat region in a plan view.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the gate line includes a protrusion that extends in the column direction in a region where the gate line overlaps the seat region in a plan view.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the data line includes a protrusion that extends in the row direction in a region where the data line overlaps the seat region in a plan view.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second common wiring extends between two thin film transistors adjacent in the row direction.
