Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a TFT substrate having a display region which includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a plurality of TFTs, a plurality of scanning signal lines and a plurality of video signal lines; a counter substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, and sealed by a sealant; a plurality of scanning line leads connected to the plurality of scanning signal lines, and formed in a region which is outside of the display region, a plurality of video signal line leads connected to the plurality of video signal lines, and formed in a region which is outside of the display region, a shield electrode formed on the TFT substrate, and covering the plurality of scanning line leads, the plurality of video signal line leads being located so as not to be covered by the shield electrode, wherein the second electrode is connected to one of the plurality of TFTs, and liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are driven by an electric field which is generated between the first electrode and the second electrode; and wherein a potential identical with a potential of the first electrode is applied to the shield electrode, and shield electrode is overlapped with the sealant in a plan view.
