Patent ID: 8305334

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel including a first substrate formed with a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode, a second substrate formed with a color filter, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a panel frame housing the liquid crystal display panel; and a backlight supplying the liquid crystal display panel with light, wherein the liquid crystal display panel has a conductive layer on a front surface of the second substrate, the panel frame has a side wall part extending along a side wall of the liquid crystal display panel and an upper surface part extending from the side wall part toward an image display area of the liquid crystal display panel, the upper surface part is in contact with the conductive layer of the liquid crystal display panel, and a constant potential is applied to the panel frame, wherein the panel frame is formed to have a rectangular shape, and the upper surface part of the panel frame is formed with a slit at a corner part formed by one side of the rectangle and another side adjacent to the one side.
