Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having an active area for displaying pictures, the active area having pixels arranged in a matrix shape; a first substrate including picture electrodes of the pixels; a second substrate having a common electrode facing the picture electrodes; a seal element arranged in a seal portion surrounding the active area so as to attach the first substrate and the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer held between the couple of substrates, wherein the first substrate further comprises a power supply pad arranged at a corner of the active area facing to the common electrode, a common line arranged between the active area and the seal portion for supplying a common voltage, a connection line for connecting the power supply pad to the common line crossing the seal portion, a block member of a convex shape having first and second block elements forming a slit and arranged opposite to the seal element between the active area and the seal portion crossing the connection line, and wherein a gap between the first and the second block elements and the second substrate is smaller than a gap between the slit formed by the first and second block elements and the second substrate on the connection line.
