Liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- substrates disposed in opposition to each other with a liquid crystal interposed therebetween;
driver chips mounted on one of the substrates in an area other than an area in which the liquid crystal is sealed;
the driver chips being electrically connected to signal lines formed to run in an area in which the liquid crystal is sealed, with a stacked structure being interposed between the driver chips and the signal lines, an inorganic material layer and an organic material layer being stacked in that order in the stacked structure; and
an alignment mark formed in a layer underlying the stacked structure in the vicinity of each of the driver chips,the inorganic material layer which covers the alignment mark being left in a shape which is coaxially coincident with the alignment mark and is similar to, but larger than, the alignment mark, the vicinity of the inorganic material layer being removed.

Abstract
There is provided a liquid crystal display device in which light leaks near spacers are prevented. The liquid crystal display device controls the optical transmissivity of a liquid crystal layer interposed between substrates disposed in opposition to each other, by means of an electric field generated in the layer-thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer, includes spacers formed on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one of the substrates, signal lines formed on a liquid-crystal-side surface of the other substrate, an insulating film formed to cover the signal lines, and electrodes formed on the upper surface of the insulating film, each of which serves as one electrode contributing to control of the optical transmissivity of the liquid crystal layer. Each of the spacers has a vertex surface disposed in opposition to any of the signal lines, and a portion of each of the electrodes is extended to the upper surface of a corresponding one of the signal lines and the extended portion is opposed to a part of the vertex surface of a spacer disposed in opposition to the corresponding one of the signal lines.
