Liquid crystal display device
A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate having a display region with first and second electrodes, TFTs, scanning signal lines connected to the TFTs, a counter substrate, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the TFT and counter substrates, and sealed by a sealant, scanning line leads connected to the scanning signal lines and formed outside of the display region, video signal line leads connected to the video signal lines and formed outside of the display region and a shield electrode formed on the TFT substrate covering the scanning line leads but not the video signal line leads. The second electrode is connected to one of the TFTs, and liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are driven by an electric field, which is generated between the first and second electrodes. The shield electrode is electrically connected to the first electrode and overlapped with the sealant in plan view.

a first substrate and a second substrate opposing to each other;
wherein the second substrate includes a display area and a peripheral area,
the peripheral area surrounds the display area,
pixels are formed in a matrix manner in the display area,
each of the pixels has a TFT, a first electrode formed in a planar shape, a second electrode disposed above the first electrode, an insulating film formed between the first electrode and the second electrode,
a seal is formed in the peripheral area,
a first metal layer, a second metal layer and a transparent conductive layer overlap the seal, in a plan view, and
the transparent conductive layer electrically connects with a wiring that is formed on the same layer as the first metal layer at a position between the seal and the display area, in a plan view.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
first lines extend in a first direction and are arranged in a second direction, and
second lines extend in the second direction and are arranged in the first direction in the display region.
