Display device
According to one embodiment, provided is a liquid crystal display device with a reduced size and little restriction for incorporation into other devices. The liquid crystal display device includes an array substrate that includes multiple thin film transistors for pixel driving, a scanning line and a signal line. The liquid crystal display device also includes a counter substrate disposed on the display side in a manner opposed to the array substrate. The liquid crystal display device further includes an FPC arranged to transmit an external signal for driving of the thin film transistors. One end portion of the FPC is connected to the scanning line and the signal line, while the other end portion is extended inward. The scanning line, the signal line and the FPC are disposed within an outline of the counter substrate.
1. A display device comprising:
a first substrate including a plurality of drive elements for pixel driving and an interconnection;
a second substrate disposed in a manner opposed to the first substrate on the display side;
a sealing portion connecting the first substrate and the second substrate; and
a signal transmission member arranged to transmit an external signal for driving of the drive elements, wherein
the second substrate includes an interfacing area which is not overlapping with the first substrate in a plan view,
the sealing portion is formed from an overlapping part between the first substrate and the second substrate in a plan view to the interfacing area,
the signal transmission member is connected to the interconnection via a connecting portion disposed in the interfacing area, and one end portion of the signal transmission member is disposed in the interfacing area, while the other end portion is disposed at a position superposing the first substrate, and
the interconnection and the signal transmission member are disposed within an outline of the second substrate.
2. The display device according to claim 1 comprising a connecting portion which connects the signal transmission member and the interconnection.
3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the connecting portion is formed on the side opposite to the display side of the second substrate.
4. The display device according to claim 1 comprising a printed circuit board connected to the signal interfacing unit and the connecting portion.
