The region provided with the DL and the gate line GL is defined as an invalid display region in which an image is not displayed. The area in which the pixel electrode 105 is provided is defined as an area in which an image is displayed as an effective display area.
Next, the black matrix 131 corresponding to the ineffective display area and the peripheral area PA of the lower substrate 100 is formed on the upper substrate 130 so as to correspond to the lower substrate 100 as a whole. Color filters 133a, 133b, and 133c formed of red, green, and blue pixels corresponding to the effective display area of the lower substrate 100 are formed in the second substrate 100.

According to the liquid crystal display device manufactured as described above, when the ambient temperature is maintained at the normal temperature, as shown in FIG. 6, the dielectric constant does not change and the gate output waveform appears normally.
However, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7, when the ambient temperature is low, the dielectric constant is increased to increase the capacitance.
Therefore, when the ambient temperature is low, as shown in FIG. 7B, the temperature of the gate driving circuit 120 is increased through the heating wiring 123, thereby increasing the dielectric constant and decreasing the normal temperature. By restoring the permittivity, the capacitance does not increase.
As described above, according to the liquid crystal display device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention, even if the ambient temperature at which the liquid crystal display device is operated is reduced, the liquid crystal dielectric constant can be substantially suppressed by the internal heating through the heating wiring. As a result, an increase in the capacitor load can be prevented, thereby increasing the operating temperature of the liquid crystal display panel.
