Abstract

A line-on-glass type liquid crystal display device capable of preventing voltage differences between separate gate driver integrated circuits due to line resistances of LOG-signal line patterns includes a picture display area having a plurality of liquid crystal cells, gate driver integrated circuits for driving gate lines, line-on-glass type signal lines provided at an area outside the picture display area for applying driving signals to the gate driver integrated circuits, wherein each of the gate drive integrated circuits includes a gate input line resistor having a predetermined resistance value connected to each gate line. A resistance value of the gate input line resistors incrementally increases by a predetermined amount until a line resistance value of the line-on-glass type signal line connected between the gate driver integrated circuits is reached.
