Abstract:
A horizontal electric-field type LCD device comprising:(a) a first transparent substrate; (b) a protecting conductive layer formed on an outer surface of said first substrate; (c) a second transparent substrate coupled with said first substrate to form a space between inner surfaces of said first and second substrates; said second substrate having an extended part that extend from the periphery of said first substrate; (d) a grounding electrode formed on said inner surface of said extended part of said second substrate; (e) a liquid crystal confined in said space formed between said inner surfaces of said first and second substrates; and (f) a conductive, elastic connection member for electrically interconnecting said conductive layer on said first substrate with said grounding electrode on said second substrate; said connection member having a base part engaged with an outer surface of said second substrate, a first spring part engaged with said conductive layer on said first substrate, and a second spring part engaged with said grounding electrode on said second substrate.
