Active matrix type liquid crystal display device resistant to static electricity

Abstract

Abstract An object of the invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device against which counter-measures are taken for static electricity from the step of forming wiring lines of a substrate on the side where thin film transistors or switching elements are formed to the step of completing module mounting and which is suited for improving the productivity and for lowering the production cost. In order to achieve this object, according to the invention, there is provided a liquid crystal display device having an active matrix liquid crystal display element where a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of drain lines intersecting the gate lines through an insulating film are juxtaposed to each other over the face, opposed to a liquid crystal layer, of a first one of two transparent insulating substrates overlapping through the liquid crystal layer, and a switching element is disposed in the vicinity of each of the intersections between said gate lines and said drain lines; characterized in that resistor elements for connecting said gate lines or said drain lines are disposed inside a seal and arranged in one or more lines outside an effective pixel region, or additional gate lines and additional pixels are arranged in a plurality of lines outside the first gate line or the last gate line in the effective pixel region, and said additional gate lines are short-circuited with each other at their end portions.
