Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate each including an active area and a non-active area; a black matrix on the first substrate in the non-active area; a color filter layer on the black matrix; a common electrode on the color filter layer and black matrix; an array element on the second substrate in the active area; a plurality of signal lines and a common bridge line in the non-active area; a protective layer on the array element, signal lines and a common bridge line; a transparent pattern connected to the common bridge line and extending to a border region between the active and non-active areas; a seal pattern formed in an edge portion of the first and second substrates; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates, wherein the common electrode is electrically connected to the common bridge line through the transparent pattern and the seal pattern, wherein the transparent pattern completely shields the plurality of signal lines, and wherein a region that the transparent pattern overlaps the seal pattern is outside a region that the transparent pattern shields the plurality of signal lines.
