Abstract
Gate lines and drain lines are arranged to cross each other on an inner surface of a substrate and display pixels are formed at individual intersections of these lines. For actuation of these elements, a drain driver, a gate driver, and a precharge driver are formed on the periphery of the substrate. Aluminum lines extend to respective circuits along the edge of the substrate from connecting terminals formed on the edge of the substrate. A sealing material is applied along the periphery of the substrate and an injection hole for liquid crystal is formed on one edge of the substrate. The drain driver is disposed on the edge opposite to the edge on which the injection hole is formed at a location as far from the injection hole as possible. Thus, the drain driver is distanced from the liquid crystal injection hole to prevent the failure of the display apparatus due to the fluctuation of a threshold value.
