Patent ID: 8711305

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a color filter substrate including a first transparent substrate, which has: an anti-static transparent conductive layer formed in at least a display area on a first surface of the first transparent substrate; and a light shield layer that shields light in a frame area arranged outside the display area on a second surface, which is opposite to the first surface; a TFT substrate including a second transparent substrate, which maintains liquid crystals in cooperation with the color filter substrate with facing the second surface of the color filter substrate, and which has: a projecting part that projects beyond an end face of the color filter substrate; a pair of electrodes, which is provided in the display area on a third surface facing the color filter substrate, and which generates an electric field in a direction parallel with the color filter substrate to drive the liquid crystals; a TFT, which is provided in the display area provided on a third surface, and which apply the voltage into one of the pair of electrodes; and an earth pad, which is provided in the projecting part on the third surface, and which is earth-connected; and a conductive tape, which is stuck from an upper part of the color filter substrate to an upper part of the TFT substrate, which is connected to both the anti-static transparent conductive layer and the earth pad to electrically connect the anti-static transparent conductive layer and the earth pad, wherein the light shield layer is formed to extend up to an end side of the color filter substrate, which is adjacent to the projecting part, wherein the light shield layer has a notch having an opening at the end side of the color filter substrate, which is adjacent to the projecting part, wherein the conductive tape is arranged adjacent to or partially overlapping with the light shield layer, wherein the notch is provided at a connection part of the conductive tape and the anti-static transparent conductive layer, and wherein a light transmission part capable of light transmitting is provided to the connection part, and a part of the TFT substrate overlapping with the connection part has transparency.
