Liquid crystal display device having a driving circuit inside the seal boundary
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate comprising a transparent material;
a common electrode formed on said first substrate;
a second substrate arranged parallel to said first substrate and spaced apart from said first substrate by a predetermined distance;
a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on said second substrate for defining a display region opposing said common electrode;
signal supplying leads electrically coupled to said pixel electrodes, for supplying a driving signal thereto;
a seal member, formed between said first and second substrates at a peripheral portion surrounding said display region, for fixing said first and second substrates together;
a driving circuit, formed between an outer edge of said display region and an outer edge of said seal member and electrically connected to said signal supplying leads, for supplying a driving signal to said pixel electrodes through said signal supplying leads in response to externally input display data; and
a liquid crystal material sealed in an internal space defined by said first and second substrates and said seal member, said liquid crystal material surrounding at least a portion of said driving circuit.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display device comprises first and second substrates disposed to face each other, first and second electrodes formed on the both substrates to opposed to each other and forming a display region, signal leads formed on the second substrate and connected to the second electrodes, a seal surrounding the display region between the substrates and connecting together the substrates, a driving circuit provided between outer edges of the display region and those of the seal and connected to the leads, for generating a driving signal and supplying the signal to the wires in response to externally input display data, and a liquid crystal material sealed in a space surrounded by the substrates and seal.
