Patent ID: 7280178

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a thin film transistor substrate including first lines on a lower layer and second lines on an upper layer, the first lines and the second lines provided on a transparent insulative substrate approximately perpendicularly to each other, and thin film transistors provided in respective regions surrounded by the first lines and the second lines; and a counter substrate facing the thin film transistor substrate, wherein the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate are adhered to each other by use of a sealing member provided in the periphery of at least one of the substrates, and liquid crystal is interposed between the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate, wherein outgoing lines for connecting any of the first lines and the second lines to an external circuit are formed in the periphery of two edges of the thin film transistor substrate, a region where the sealing member is provided within a region where the outgoing lines are formed is divided into three or more regions depending on the density of the outgoing lines, and in at least two regions out of the three or more regions, dummy patterns formed by any of the first lines and the second lines are provided on a different layer from a layer where the outgoing lines are formed on so as not to overlap the outgoing lines.
