Patent ID: 7643122

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first and a second substrate having a liquid crystal region, a sealant region, and an outer region; a wiring disposed on the first substrate, the wiring crossing the sealant region; a gate insulating film disposed on the wiring; an organic insulating film disposed on a portion of the wiring; and a sealant disposed on the sealant region of the first and second substrates, wherein the sealant is in contact with an upper surface of the gate insulating film, wherein the wiring includes: a gate line disposed on the first substrate in the liquid crystal region; a gate pad disposed on the first substrate in the outer region; a gate link disposed on the first substrate and crossing the sealant region, the gate link crossing the sealant; a data line disposed on the first substrate in the liquid crystal region, the data line crossing the gate line; a data pad disposed on the first substrate in the outer region; and a data link disposed on the first substrate and crossing the sealant region, the data link crossing the sealant, wherein the data pad and the data link are formed in the same vertical structure as the gate pad and the gate link, and wherein the gate insulating film has a portion that is contacted with an upper surface of the data link.
