Abstract:
A display device comprising:a pixel electrode array substrate including a display region and an outside region, the display region having a plurality of scanning lines formed on an insulating substrate, an insulating layer formed on said scanning lines, signal lines arranged on said insulating layer in a direction crossing over said scanning lines via the insulating layer, and pixel electrodes arranged at each crossing portion of said plurality of scanning lines and said signal lines through said insulating layer, and the outside region having a plurality of first wirings connected to said plurality of scanning lines formed on the insulating substrate, at least one additional insulating stepped member formed on said insulating layer, and a plurality of second wirings connected to said plurality of signal lines and formed in a direction crossing over said first wirings via the insulating layer and said additional insulating stepped member; a counter substrate opposing said pixel electrode array substrate; and a light modulation layer held between said pixel electrode array substrate and said counter substrate, wherein each of said first wirings includes a first discharging portion of each of said second wirings includes a second discharging portion formed on said additional insulating stepped member, and the second discharging portion has at least one stepped portion corresponding to said additional insulating stepped member and acting as a discharging edge at a position opposing said first discharging portion through the insulating layer.
