Abstract

A liquid crystal display device which can be manufactured at a low cost is provided. The liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate, a CF substrate of a size smaller than a size of the TFT substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the CF substrate. A ground pad is formed on a portion of the TFT substrate where the CF substrate does not overlap with the TFT substrate. A transparent conductive film is formed on an upper surface of the CF substrate. The transparent conductive film of the CF substrate and the ground pad formed on the TFT substrate are electrically connected with each other via a thermocompression bonding conductive tape. A double-sided adhesive tape is arranged between the thermocompression bonding conductive tape and an upper surface of the CF substrate and between the thermocompression bonding conductive tape and the TFT substrate.

Claims (10)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a TFT substrate;

a color filter substrate of a size smaller than a size of the TFT substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, wherein

a ground pad is formed on a portion of the TFT substrate where the color filter substrate does not overlap with the TFT substrate,

a transparent conductive film is formed on an upper surface of the color filter substrate,

the transparent conductive film of the color filter substrate and the ground pad formed on the TFT substrate are electrically connected with each other via a thermocompression bonding conductive tape, and

a double-sided adhesive tape is arranged between the thermocompression bonding conductive tape and an upper surface of the color filter substrate and between the thermocompression bonding conductive tape and the TFT substrate.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the double-sided adhesive tape is continuously arranged over a region ranging from the upper surface of the color filter substrate to the TFT substrate.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the double-sided adhesive tape is continuously arranged over a region ranging from the upper surface of the color filter substrate to the TFT substrate along one side of the thermocompression bonding conductive tape.

4. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the double-sided adhesive tape is continuously arranged over a region ranging from the upper surface of the color filter substrate to the TFT substrate along two opposing sides of the thermocompression bonding conductive tape.
