Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device of the monolithic type which comprises a first substrate, a plurality of display elements arranged in a matrix on the first substrate to define a display area of the liquid crystal display device, each of the display elements comprising a picture element or pixel electrode and a switching or pixel transistor associated with the picture element or pixel electrode, a driving circuit formed on the first substrate and connected to the display area. The driving circuit includes a horizontal driver and a vertical driver. The device further includes a second substrate substantially entirely opposed to the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates. A passivation layer is provided to cover the display area or pixel transistors and driving circuit.
