Patent ID: 8174661

Claim:
The liquid crystal display comprising: a first insulating substrate including a display area and a peripheral area; a display area signal line in the display area of the first insulating substrate; a peripheral area signal line in the peripheral area of the first insulating substrate; a driving circuit portion in the peripheral area of the first insulating substrate, receiving an input signal through the peripheral area signal line, and thereby generating an output signal to supply to the display area signal line; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate and having a common electrode; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate; and a first sealant between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate and sealing the liquid crystal layer, wherein the common electrode is disposed on a whole surface of the second insulating substrate, and the first sealant is closer to the display area than the peripheral area signal line, wherein a dielectric rate in an area between the peripheral area signal line and the common electrode is lower than that of the liquid crystal layer.
