Abstract A liquid crystal display device including a pair of transparent baseplates which are opposed to each other. A pair of transparent electrodes are disposed on an inner surface of each of the baseplates. A sealing member is disposed so as to form a chamber between the baseplates for containing therein the transparent electrodes and a liquid crystal. Contact electrodes are disposed on one end portion of the inner surface of each of the baseplates for contacting with a pair of external electrodes to be inserted into the device, from the external electrodes a signal to control optical transmission/screening of the liquid crystal being received. A pair of connecting electrodes are disposed on the inner surface of each of the baseplates for electrically connecting the contact electrodes with the transparent electrodes in order to transmit the signal from the contact electrodes to the transparent electrodes. The device is constructed so that the connecting electrodes are not electrically conducted with each other.
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of transparent baseplates which are opposed to each other; a pair of transparent electrodes each disposed on an inner surface of each of the baseplates; a sealing member disposed so as to form a chamber between the baseplates for containing therein the transparent electrodes and a liquid crystal; an orientating material covering at least one of said baseplates inside said chamber; a pair of contact electrodes each disposed on one end portion of the inner surface of each of the baseplates for contacting with a pair of external electrodes to be inserted into said device, from said external electrodes a signal to control optical transmission/screening of the liquid crystal being received; a pair of connecting electrodes each disposed on the inner surface of each of the baseplates for electrically connecting the contact electrodes with the transparent electrodes in order to transmit the signal from the contact electrodes to the transparent electrodes; and an insulating film having substantially the same thickness and composition as said orientating material placed in those areas of said at least one baseplate that are not contacted by said contact electrodes and not inside said chamber.
