Abstract
In an IPS-mode liquid crystal display device, the area of a terminal portion is decreased. A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate and a counter substrate attached to the TFT substrate with a sealing material, and includes a display region and a terminal portion formed on the TFT substrate. A shielding transparent conductive film is formed on the outer side of the counter substrate. On the terminal portion, an earth pad formed with a transparent conductive film is formed on an organic passivation film. The shielding transparent conductive film is connected to the earth pad through a conductor. Below organic passivation film of the terminal portion, a wire is formed.

A TFT substrate comprising:
- an earth pad having an organic passivation film and a transparent conductive film;
- and
- a metal wire located directly under the organic passivation film of the earth pad,
- wherein
- the metal wire is not connected to the transparent conductive film of the earth pad, and
- the metal wire is bent in an area where metal wire overlaps the earth pad.
A display device comprising;
- a TFT substrate having an earth pad and metal wire;
- a counter substrate;
- a shielding transparent conductive film on the counter substrate;
- and
- a conductive material attached to the shielding transparent conductive film and the earth pad,
- wherein
- the counter substrate is between the TFT substrate and the shielding transparent conductive film,
- the earth pad having an organic passivation film and a transparent conductive film,
- the metal wire located directly under the organic passivation film of the earth pad,
- the metal wire is not connected to the transparent conductive film of the earth pad, and
- the metal wire is bent in an area where metal wire overlaps the earth pad.
