Patent ID: RE43505

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate having a segment electrode group and an alignment film formed thereon; a second substrate having a common electrode group and an alignment film formed thereon; a frame-shaped seal member for joining the fist and second substrates together; a liquid crystal layer filled between the first and second substrates and inside the seal member; a display area provided in an area where the segment electrode group and the common electrode group are opposed to each other; a connection terminal group for segment electrode and a connection terminal group for common electrode which are formed on the first substrate and external to one side portion of the seal member; a wiring pattern formed on the first substrate such that it extends from the connection terminal group for common electrode and passes through an area between another side portion of the seal member and the display area; and a conduction portion between substrates which is disposed within another side portion of the seal member or between another side portion of the seal member and the display area for electrically connecting the wiring pattern and the common electrode group to each other.
