Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising first and second substrates with a liquid crystal layer therebetween; a plurality of gate signal line and a plurality of reference voltage signal line formed on the first substrate; a wiring adjacently arranged along a display area which has a plurality of pixels; and a plurality of reference electrodes formed on a layer arranged above said first substrate, said reference electrodes connected with said reference voltage signal lines; wherein each of the plurality of the gate signal lines is elongated in a respective first direction in the display area, where the plurality of the gate lines are parallel with each other, and is elongated in a respective second direction in an area outside of the display area, where the plurality of the gate lines are not parallel with each other, and at least one connecting portion of said reference electrodes is provided between two neighboring ones of the gate signal lines, and the connecting portion is formed in said outside area and connected to said wiring at a crossing between said wiring and an imaginary line defined by prolonging an neighboring gate signal line from the display area to said outside area along the first direction.
