Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a substrate; thin film transistors over the substrate; pixel electrodes each electrically connected to one of the thin film transistors; a counter substrate facing the substrate; a liquid crystal material provided between the substrate and the counter substrate; a sealant provided between the substrate and the counter substrate; a first conductive line over the substrate; a first insulating film over the first conductive line; a second conductive line over the first insulating film; a second insulating film over the second conductive line; a transparent conductive film over the second insulating film; and a flexible printed circuit over the transparent conductive film; wherein the sealant is in direct contact with the second insulating film; wherein the sealant overlaps the first conductive line and the second conductive line; wherein the second conductive line overlaps the first conductive line; wherein the sealant does not overlap the transparent conductive film; wherein the first conductive line is electrically connected to the second conductive line; wherein the second conductive line is electrically connected to the flexible printed circuit via the transparent conductive film; wherein the second conductive line and the transparent conductive film are in direct contact via an opening in the second insulating film; wherein the flexible printed circuit and the transparent conductive film each completely cover the opening; and wherein the transparent conductive film is made from a same layer as the pixel electrodes.
