Abstract

It is possible to reduce a size of a lower frame region to ensure a wiring corrosion margin equivalent to that of a conventional technique. In a display device, a video signal wiring arranged in the lower frame region includes, in a region between a terminal section (terminal) and a video signal line, a first wiring formed on a first wiring layer and having one end connected to the terminal section to which a video signal line driving circuit is connected, a second wiring formed on a second wiring layer different from the first wiring layer and having one end connected to the other end of the first wiring, and a third wiring formed on the first wiring layer and having one end connected to the other end of the second wiring. The other end of the third wiring is connected to the video signal line via a fourth wiring formed on the second wiring layer, and the first wiring layer is formed on the side closer to an array substrate than to the second wiring layer.

Claims (84)

1. A display device comprising:

an array substrate including a terminal, a glass substrate, a first insulating film, a second insulating film on the first insulating film, a first wiring layer between the glass substrate and the first insulating film, and a second wiring layer between the first insulating film and the second insulating film;

an opposite substrate; and

a semiconductor chip connected to the terminal of the array substrate,

wherein

a first region of the array substrate overlaps the opposite substrate,

a second region of the array substrate does not overlap the opposite substrate,

a substrate edge of the opposite substrate is a border between the first region and the second region of the array substrate,

a first wiring formed on the first wiring layer is pulled out from the terminal in the second region,

a second wiring formed on the second wiring layer is connected to the first wiring via a first opening formed in the first insulating film in the second region,

the first opening is located in the second region, and does not overlap the opposite substrate, and

the second wiring crosses the substrate edge of the opposite substrate in a plan view

wherein the first opening overlaps the second insulating film;

wherein the first wiring is fed a video signal by the semiconductor chip; and

further comprising:

a third wiring formed on the first wiring layer and connected to the second wiring via a second opening formed in the first insulating film in the first region, wherein

the second opening overlaps the opposite substrate, and

the second opening overlaps the second insulating film.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the array substrate and the opposite substrate are attached by a seal, and

the second opening does not overlap the seal.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein
