Patent ID: 7982813

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a substrate, a plurality of pixels including a plurality of switching elements formed on the substrate; a plurality of gate lines connected to the switching elements and extending in a row direction; and a gate driver including a circuit portion connected to the gate lines and a wiring portion connected to the circuit portion, wherein the circuit portion includes a plurality of stages connected to the gate lines, and a transistor including a lead extending from a gate electrode of the transistor, and the wiring portion includes a first signal line that receives an externally supplied signal and transmits the signal to the transistor, and the lead of the transistor and the first signal line are connected via a connecting member, and the connecting member on the substrate is formed on a different layer from the lead of the transistor and the signal line, and the first signal line transmits a scanning start signal to the transistor, and wherein the lead of the transistor and the signal line are disposed on a same layer.
