Abstract

A display device having a display element is configured such that the extending directions of electrodes are made different from each other among upper, lower, left and right pixels.

Claims (18)

1 . A display device in which the display device includes

a semiconductor layer on a gate signal line,

a drain electrode and a source electrode which are formed on the semiconductor layer,

the drain electrode connected with a video signal line using a connecting member at a connecting portion, the gate signal line has a hole in the vicinity of the connecting portion, and a width of the connecting member with the video signal line larger than a width of the connecting member with the drain electrode.

2 . A display device according to claim 1 , the drain electrode is formed in a shape which surrounds a periphery of the source electrode in a semicircular shape.

3 . A display device according to claim 1 , the connecting member gets over the gate signal line with an angle.

4 . A display device in which the display device includes

a semiconductor layer formed on a gate signal line,

a drain electrode and a source electrode formed on the semiconductor layer,

the drain electrode are connected to a video signal line, and the source electrode are connected to a pixel electrode in a connecting region, wherein

the source electrode once extends over the gate signal line and, thereafter, is bent in the direction parallel to the gate signal line and extends, and is subsequently bent in the direction of the gate signal line thus forming a bent connecting region.

5 . A display device according to claim 4 , the gate signal line is formed in a state that the gate signal line is recessed in the connecting region portion.

6 . A display device according to claim 4 , the gate signal line is formed in a state that a line width thereof is made fine in the connection region portion.

7 . A display device according to claim 4 , the gate signal line has a hole at a crossing portion between the gate signal line and a video signal line, the gate signal line is divided into two portions having a fine line width, and two portions are merged again to form a bold line.

8 . A display device in which the display device includes

a semiconductor layer formed on a gate signal line,

a TFT which has a drain electrode and a source electrode on the semiconductor layer, the drain electrode are connected with a video signal line, the source electrode are connected with a pixel electrode in a connecting region, wherein

a width of the gate signal line at a portion where the TFT is formed larger than a width of the gate signal line at crossing portion with the video signal line.
