A liquid crystal display device.

摘要

The present invention relates to improvements in the frame area of the liquid display panel of a liquid crystal display device, and provides a liquid crystal display device which is enhanced in its blocking ability and the ability of the blocking area to prevent electrostatic failure. A blocking layer 12 is formed in a frame area 1 on TFT array substrate 3. The edge portions of the blocking layer 12 have overlapping areas 14 overlapping the edge portions of each of data lines 10, which are metal layers, with a predetermined overlapping margin d as viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the TFT array substrate 3. An insulation layer 16 is formed on the blocking layer 12 and the TFT array substrate 3. On the insulation layer 16 a semiconductor layer 18 is formed. A plurality of data lines 10 are then disposed on the semiconductor layer 18. The blocking structure thus formed improves the quality of the image display area since it reduces the quantity of light being transmitted from the frame area. Further, the transistor structure formed by the various gate lines, data lines, and blocking lines contributes to the prevention of electrostatic failure.
