Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device of an in-plane switching mode, comprising: a first substrate including a pixel electrode and a counter electrode, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode being configured to apply an electric field in a direction parallel to the surface of the first substrate; a second substrate placed opposite to the first substrate; a sealing material surrounding a display area to attach the first substrate and the second substrate; liquid crystals placed in a space created by the first substrate, the second substrate and the sealing material; and an overcoat layer formed on a side of the second substrate facing the liquid crystals so as to directly contact an alignment layer over the entire display area, the alignment layer being configured to align the liquid crystals, wherein an end of the overcoat layer is located on an inward side with respect to an outer end of the sealing material, and the overcoat layer has a specific resistance of 1.0*10
