Patent ID: 7947983

Claim:
A thin film transistor matrix device comprising: an insulating substrate; a plurality of thin film transistors arranged on the insulating substrate in a matrix; a plurality of picture element electrodes arranged on the insulating substrate in a matrix to define an image display region, and wherein the picture element electrodes are connected to the thin film transistors; a first conducting film formed on the insulating substrate; a first insulating film formed on the first conducting film; a second conducting film formed on the first insulating film; and a second insulating film formed over the first insulating film and the second conducting film; a first conducting connection formed, outside the image display region, to pass through the first insulating film and the second insulating film and to electrically connect the first conducting film to a third conducting film, and a second conducting connection formed, outside the image display region, to pass through the second insulating film and to electrically connect the second conducting film to the third conducting film, and wherein the third conducting film is a transparent film and wherein the third conducting film is located in an area between the image display region and an edge of the insulating substrate.
