Patent ID: 7548297

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal layer sealed between a first substrate on which pixel circuits are formed and a second substrate on which a counter electrode is formed, and said first and second substrates being connected to each other via a sealing member, said liquid crystal display further comprising: said first substrate having a wiring layer which is connected to said pixel circuits, a conducting electrode which is mounted on the surface facing said liquid crystal layer and which is connected to said wiring layer, and a first alignment film which is mounted on the surface facing said liquid crystal layer and which is used to align the liquid crystal molecules of said liquid crystal layer; a cut-out part being formed in said first alignment film in at least one portion of the part which is mounted on top of said conducting electrode; said sealing member being formed so as to cover the conducting electrode; and said conducting electrode and the sealing member make contact in said cut-out part of the first alignment film.
