Patent ID: 8867010

Claim:
A display panel that has: a display region including a plurality of pixels, a terminal region disposed outer than said display region, as seen in a plane, and an intermediate region located between said display region and said terminal region; and a drive element for driving said pixel, said drive element including a gate electrode, a gate insulating film covering said gate electrode, and a source electrode partially covering said gate insulating film, said terminal region having a plurality of gate terminals and a plurality of source terminals disposed therein alternately as seen in a plane, said plurality of gate terminals being formed of a gate metal layer that is the same layer as said gate electrode, said plurality of source terminals being formed of a source metal layer that is the same layer as said source electrode, from each of said source terminals a source terminal lead extending toward said intermediate region, said source terminal lead being formed of said source metal layer, said intermediate region and said terminal region being provided with inorganic insulating film such that said source terminal lead is covered therewith, said intermediate region being provided with organic insulating film such that said inorganic insulating film is covered therewith, said inorganic insulating film being smaller in thickness in said terminal region than in said intermediate region, said inorganic insulating film having an opening in said terminal region to expose at least a portion of a surface of said source terminal.
