A liquid crystal display structure, includes a glass substrate and at least one or more chips mounted on the glass substrate including flexible printed circuit connect pins. A common wiring for connecting the at least one or more chips to a flexible printed circuit is formed on the glass substrate. The common wiring is connected to the flexible printed circuit connect pins of the at least one or more chips and to the flexible printed circuit at at least one position on the common wiring.

Chip-on-glass (COG) structure liquid crystal display (LCD)

To prevent dielectric breakdown for a storage capacitor of a liquid crystal display element connected to a predetermined gate line in a liquid crystal display device. In a liquid crystal display device including a display region in which a plurality of liquid crystal display elements are formed in a matrix and a peripheral region enclosing the display region, wherein the display region includes a plurality of gate lines arranged in parallel with one another and a plurality of reference voltage lines each of which is formed between the gate lines and serves as an electrode for a storage capacitor of each of the liquid crystal display elements and said peripheral region includes a plurality of connecting terminals which are separated from each other by a distance smaller than a distance between adjacent gate lines in the display region, the connecting terminals are arranged in a plurality of groups, said gate lines are each connected to the connecting terminals, and a short-circuit line is formed along the peripheral region so that the connecting terminals are short-circuited, a conductor extended from said short-circuit line is formed between a region between said groups and the reference voltage lines which face the region.

A high definition, high quality active matrix type liquid crystal display is provided by excluding electrodes from a single side of two transparent substrates to reduce extra space, and providing only transfers in the remaining space. On the side of liquid crystal inlet 14, similarly as on other sides, a plurality of transfers 19 is provided outside seal 24. From transfers 19 on the side of liquid crystal inlet 14, a wiring pattern is formed inwardly, intersecting seal 24, to connect to extended conductor 21 formed in parallel with seal 24. Extended conductor 21 is led toward the side where signal line lead electrode 18 is provided, again crossing seal 24 to be connected with transfer lead electrode 20 formed on that side.
