Abstract
A display device includes an insulating substrate; a first conductive layer in which a first signal line and a second signal line are formed on the insulating substrate; an insulating layer provided in an upper layer of the first conductive layer; and a semiconductor layer, which is provided in an upper layer of the insulating layer, and in which a semiconductor film, which overlaps the first signal line and the second signal line in plan view, is formed.
Claims5
A display device, comprising:
- an insulating substrate;
- a first conductive layer including a first signal line, a second signal line and a third signal line which are all formed with the first conductive layer, on the insulating substrate, so that the first, second and third signal lines are all in the same conductive layer, said first, second and third signal lines being adjacent a display area formed on the insulating substrate, the second signal line being located between the display area and the first signal line, and the first signal line being located between the display area and the third signal line,
- an insulating layer provided on an upper layer of the first conductive layer;
- and
- a semiconductor layer, which is provided on an upper layer of the insulating layer and in which a semiconductor film, which overlaps the first signal line and the second signal line in plan view, is formed,
- wherein the second signal line and the third signal line are electrically connected to each other, across the first signal line, by a conductive layer provided over a portion of the semiconductor layer,
- wherein the distance between a portion of the first signal line, which is overlapped with the semiconductor film, and a portion of the second signal line, which is overlapped with the semiconductor film, is larger than a minimum distance among distances between the first signal line and the second signal line,
- wherein the semiconductor layer and the second signal line overlap in a different area from an area in which the second signal line and the conductive layer provided over the portion of the semiconductor layer overlap, and
- wherein the conductive layer provided over the portion of the semiconductor layer is electrically connected to the second signal line through a transparent conductive film.
