Abstract:
1. A display device comprising: a first substrate having at least one side edge; a plurality of first conductive lines extending over the first substrate in a first direction; a plurality of second conductive lines extending over the first substrate in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction; an interlayer insulating film disposed between said first conductive lines and said second conductive lines; a plurality of thin film transistors disposed at locations adjacent to intersections of said first conductive lines and said second conductive lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically connected to said thin film transistors; a second substrate located separated from said first substrate; a sealing member disposed at a periphery of said first and second substrates, said sealing member having a portion adjacent to said side edge; a conductive layer comprising a same material as said plurality of second conductive lines and interposed between said portion of the sealing member and said first substrate; and a black matrix at least partly overlapped with said conductive layer; wherein said conductive layer continuously extends along said side edge of said first substrate for more than a pitch of adjacent ones of said second conductive lines, and is electrically isolated from both of said plurality of first conductive lines and said plurality of second conductive lines.
