Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates facing each other; a transparent conductive film on an outwardly facing first surface of the first substrate, absorbing charges of electro static discharge; a ground electrode on one surface of the second substrate; a connection portion connecting the transparent conductive film with the ground electrode, and extending over a corner of the first substrate; a black matrix disposed between an overcoat layer and an inwardly facing surface of the first substrate wherein the black matrix comprises a first black matrix portion to define a grid portion and a separate black matrix end portion wherein the black matrix end portion is disposed at the corner of the first substrate and is insulated from the first black matrix portion; a light shielding element disposed on the second substrate, the light shielding element opposing a gap between the first black matrix portion and the separate black matrix end portion and overlapping an entire width of the gap; and a sealant for bonding the first and second substrates, wherein the sealant is disposed outside the gap and the light shielding element without overlapping the gap and the light shielding element, wherein the connection portion contacts the transparent conductive film and the overcoat layer at the corner and extends to the ground electrode.
