Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a liquid crystal cell disposed at each point of intersections of a plurality of scanning lines, extending in a row direction, mounted at specified intervals in a display area being approximately quadrangular in shape placed at a predetermined position on a glass substrate being approximately quadrangular in shape and of a plurality of signal lines, extending in a column direction, mounted at specified intervals and containing a common electrode; signal terminals mounted at either or both of upper end portions or lower end portions of said glass substrate at a specified pitch, to which end portions of said signal lines routed to either or both of an upper portion on an upper side or of a lower portion on a lower side of said display area and divided into two or more blocks and gathered are connected; scanning terminals mounted at either or both of left end portions or right end portions of said glass substrate at a specified pitch, to which end portions of said scanning lines routed to either or both of a left portion on a left side or of a right portion on a right side of said display area and divided into two or more blocks and gathered are connected; common signal lines each being mounted in each row and each column in said display area used to apply a common voltage to said common electrode; common wirings each being mounted at either or both of an upper portion on an upper side or of a lower portion on a lower side of said display area and mounted at either or both of a left portion on a left side or of a right portion on a right side of said display area, to which each of end portions of a plurality of said common signal lines is connected; a first routing section made up of a metal film having very low transmittance of light emitted from a backlight and formed in a manner that a gap between blocks being adjacent to each other along one side of said display area is almost filled in, and wherein one portion facing said display area of which is connected to said common wiring; a second routing section made up of said metal film and formed in a manner that a region surrounded by an outer side portion of each of said blocks and by straight lines being four side lines of said display area being extended toward an end portion of said glass substrate is almost filled in, and wherein one portion facing said display area of which is connected to said common wiring; and a plurality of common terminals mounted so as to be adjacent to said signal terminal or said scanning terminal connected to an end portion of each of said signal lines or said scanning lines making up an outermost portion of each of said blocks and formed on said first routing section and said second routing section at an end portion of said glass substrate.
