Abstract

To improve the display quality of a display device, the display device includes a display section and a frame section surrounding a periphery of the display section. A substrate in the display device includes a conductor pattern constituting a circuit section and an insulating film serving as an organic film covering the conductor pattern. The insulating film extends to a peripheral edge of the substrate. A slit, which penetrates the insulating film in a thickness direction, is formed in a corner part of the insulating film. The slit is formed at a position not overlapping the circuit section.

Claims (41)

1. A display device including a display section and a frame section surrounding the display section, the display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a light shielding film provided on a surface of the first substrate;

a second substrate opposed to the first substrate;

a plurality of conductor patterns provided on the second substrate; and

a first insulation film covering the conductor patterns,

wherein the light shielding film has a first portion and a second portion separated from the first portion by a slit penetrating the light shielding film up to the surface of the first substrate in a thickness direction,

wherein the second portion is between the display section and the first portion,

wherein the first substrate has a first end portion, a second end portion extending in a direction crossing the first end portion and a corner portion where the first end portion and the second end portion are crossed,

wherein the first portion is disposed at the corner portion in a plan view,

wherein the first portion is L-shaped in a plan view, and

wherein the first portion is overlapped with the first end portion in a plan view.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion is overlapped with the second end portion.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the slit is formed along the first portion.

4. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the slit is formed up to the second end portion in a plan view.

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the slit is formed up to the first end portion in a plan view.

6. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second portion is extending to the display section.

7. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light shielding film composed of an organic material.

8. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein one of the conductor patterns is disposed at a position overlapping the slit.

9. The display device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the one of the conductor patterns has a first width in a planer direction,

the slit has a second width in the planer direction, and

the first width is larger than the second width in a plan view.

10. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the slit is formed only in the corner portion.

11. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light shielding film has a first edge extending along the first end portion and a second edge extending along the second end portion.

12. The display device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the slit is formed up to the first edge in a plan view.

13. The display device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the slit is formed up to the second edge in a plan view.

14. The display device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the first edge and the first end portion are aligned, and

the second edge and the second end portion are aligned.
