Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising a transparent substrate; a plurality of continuous metal lines and a plurality of discontinuous metal lines on said transparent substrate, wherein said plurality of discontinuous metal lines are substantially perpendicular to said continuous metal lines and disconnected with said continuous metal lines; thin film transistors at the intersections of said continuous metal lines and said discontinuous metal lines; a plurality of transparent electrodes; an insulating layer on said continuous metal lines and discontinuous metal lines with contact windows defined through the insulating layer, wherein said contact windows are positioned on said discontinuous metal lines near said continuous metal lines; and a plurality of interconnection lines for connecting said discontinuous metal lines via said contact windows and above said continuous lines,the liquid crystal display being characterized in that both of the continuous metal lines and the discontinuous metal lines are hermetically sealed by the insulating layer in all directions except for the contact windows.
