Abstract
A display device includes a substrate; a matrix of scan lines and signal lines formed on the substrate; switching elements formed in pixel areas defined by the scan lines and the signal lines crossing each other; a first insulating film formed over the scan lines, the signal lines, and the switching elements; and display elements to be driven by the switching elements. The pixel areas are located in a display area and the first insulating film has openings above the scan lines or the signal lines in an outer area outside of the display area.
Claims2
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a matrix of scan lines and signal lines formed on the substrate;
- switching elements formed in pixel areas defined by the scan lines and the signal lines crossing each other, the pixel areas being located in a display area;
- a first insulating film formed over the scan lines, the signal lines, and the switching elements;
- display elements to be driven by the switching elements;
