Abstract

A display device includes a signal line driver, provided in a peripheral area of a display panel, that outputs video signals, a signal selection circuit that distributes the video signals output from the signal line driver among signal lines connected to pixels, and a plurality of connection lines that make connection between the signal line driver and the signal selection circuit, and a shield layer made of the same material as second transparent electrodes that are pixel electrodes on a layer above the plurality of connection lines in an area excluding the signal selection circuit.

Claims (44)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

an array substrate including

a plurality of pixels in a display area,

a plurality of signal lines arrayed in a first direction in the display area,

a signal selection circuit in a peripheral area surrounding the display area,

a signal line driver in the peripheral area,

a plurality of connection lines arrayed in the first direction in the peripheral area, and

a shielding layer overlaps the plurality of connection lines;

wherein

the plurality of signal lines are electrically connected to the signal selection circuit,

the plurality of connection lines are pulled from the signal selection circuit, and are connected to the signal line driver,

an array pattern of the plurality of connection lines is fan-shaped or trapezoidal in plan view,

a forming area is an area where the plurality of connection lines are formed, and

the shielding layer substantially covers an entirety of the forming area.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein

the array substrate further includes a glass substrate, an organic insulation film, and an alignment film,

the plurality of connection lines are between the glass substrate and the organic insulation film,

the organic insulation film has a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface,

the first surface covers the plurality of connection lines, and

the shielding layer is between the second surface and the alignment film.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein

the organic insulation film includes a groove extending in the first direction,

the groove intersects with the plurality of connection lines,

the shielding layer does not overlap the groove, and

the shielding layer is between the groove and the signal selection circuit.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of the connection lines includes a first connection line and a second connection line,

an insulation film is between the first connection line and the second connection line,

the first connection line is pulled from the signal line driver and is connected to the second connection line via a contact hole in the insulation layer,

the first connection line is connected between the second connection line and the signal selection circuit,

the array pattern of the plurality of connection lines correspond to an array pattern of the plurality of the first connection lines, and

the forming area is an area where the second connection lines are formed.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 2 , wherein

each of the plurality of the connection lines includes a first connection line and a second connection line,

an insulation film is between the first connection line and the second connection line,

the first connection line is pulled from the signal line driver and is connected to the second connection line via a contact hole in the insulation layer,

the first connection line is connected between the second connection line and the signal selection circuit,

the array pattern of the plurality of connection lines correspond to an array pattern of the plurality of the first connection lines, and is fan-shaped or trapezoidal in plan view, and

the forming area is an area where the second connection lines are formed.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 5 , wherein

the array substrate further has an inorganic insulation film between the organic insulation film and the alignment film,

the shielding layer is between the inorganic insulation film and the alignment film,

the shielding layer is formed by transparent conductive material, and

the shielding layer is in contact with the alignment film.
