Abstract
A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal layer between a glass substrate and a counter substrate. A TFT and scanning lines which control the TFT are provided on the glass substrate. On the counter substrate, a gradation signal line which is connected to a counter electrode applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer is provided opposite to the scanning lines. A sealing section for sealing the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer is provided while enclosing the display area between the glass substrate and the counter substrate. The sealing section has conductive particles. Upper contact pads connected to the gradation signal lines and lower contact pads on the glass substrate are electrically connected via the conductive particles. This realizes a liquid crystal display device with a smaller frame and makes the mounting compact in size without causing poor connection due to line breakage.
