Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, a first wiring extending along a pixel arranged in the first direction among the plurality of pixels, and a second wiring extending along a pixel arranged in the second direction intersecting the first direction among the plurality of pixels, wherein at least of the first wiring and the second wiring includes a first conducting layer arranged contacting an insulating surface, a second conducting layer arranged above the first conducting layer, and a third conducting layer arranged contacting an upper surface and side surface of the second conducting layer and contacting a side surface of the first conducting layer, an end part of the third conducting layer being arranged on the insulating surface.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels arranged in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction;

a first wiring extending along a pixel arranged in the first direction among the plurality of pixels;

a second wiring extending along a pixel arranged in the second direction intersecting the first direction among the plurality of pixels; and

a light transmitting conductive layer,

wherein

at least one of the first wiring and the second wiring includes a first conducting layer arranged contacting an insulating surface, a second conducting layer arranged above the first conducting layer, and a third conducting layer arranged contacting an upper surface and side surface of the second conducting layer and contacting a side surface of the first conducting layer, an end part of the third conducting layer being arranged on the insulating surface, and

the light transmitting conductive layer contacts the third conducting layer and the second conducting layer via a second opening part.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer have a tapered cross-sectional shape in a direction intersecting a longitudinal direction.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein an end part of the second conducting layer is arranged further to the interior than an end part of the first conducting layer.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wiring is a scanning signal line and the second wiring is an image signal line.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a first insulating layer is included between the first wiring and the second wiring.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a terminal electrode.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal electrode has a structure stacked with the first conducting layer, the second conducting layer and the third conducting layer.

8. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal electrode is arranged on the outer side of the plurality of pixels.

9. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal electrode includes a first opening part.

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the first opening part is arranged further to an inner side than the terminal electrode.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first wiring and the second wiring includes the second opening part in a region of at least one part.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the second opening part is arranged further to the inner side than the first wiring and the second wiring.

13. The display device according to claim 1 wherein a second insulating layer is included between at least one of the first wiring and the second wiring and the light transmitting conductive layer.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conducting layer uses a material having a higher resistance than the second conducting layer.

15. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the third conducting layer uses a material having a higher resistance than the second conducting layer.

16. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the third conducting layer includes one or a plurality of types of metal elements selected from manganese (Mn), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo), tantalum (Ta) and tungsten (W).

17. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second conducting layer is aluminum or a metal including aluminum.

18. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light transmitting conductive layer is one type selected from ITO (indium doped with tin oxide), IZO (indium oxide zinc oxide) or ZnO (zinc oxide).
