Patent ID: 8610868

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a substrate, wherein the substrate includes a display area, a control area adjacent to the display area, and terminals, wherein the display area includes: scan lines extending in a first direction and arranged in a second direction; image signal lines extending in the second direction and arranged in the first direction; and pixels each formed in an area surrounded by the scan lines and the image signal lines, wherein the control area includes: scan leaders extending in the first direction and arranged in the second direction, each of the scan leaders being coupled to one of the scan lines; first lines extending in the second direction and arranged in the first direction, each of the first lines being coupled to at least one of the scan leaders and intersecting a plurality of others of the scan leaders which it is not coupled to, and second lines extending to an edge of the substrate, wherein the terminals are coupled to the first lines, at a first location which is away from the edge of the substrate, and are coupled to the second lines at second location which is closer to the edge of the substrate than the first location, wherein an interlayer insulating film and an a-Si film are formed below the first lines, wherein each of the first lines intersects the plurality of the other scan leaders to which it is not coupled via the interlayer insulating film and the a-Si film, wherein the interlayer insulating film is formed below the second lines, and wherein the a-Si film is not formed below the second line.
