んど発生しない。FIG. 2 shows an enlarged plan view of a part of the active matrix substrate in which the thin film transistor of the liquid crystal display device of the invention is formed. The drive circuit is formed between the liquid crystal sealing portion and the glass substrate, and has a data line 205 extending from the X side drive circuit 202 to the display area and a Y side drive circuit 2.
A thin film transistor is formed at the intersection of 03 to the gate line 206. Wirings 211 and 212 required for driving the drive circuit extend from the drive circuit to the outside. Further, in order to increase the aperture ratio of the pixel electrode, a part of the gate line and the pixel electrode are overlapped with each other, and further, a part of the source line and the pixel electrode are overlapped with each other. That is, the gate line and the data line are light-shielding films that block the light incident from the back surface of the active matrix in regions other than the pixel portion of the display region. At this time, since the organic thin film having a thickness of 1 μm or more is formed between the gate line or the source line and the pixel electrode, the distortion of the signal applied to the pixel electrode hardly occurs.

The hundreds of data lines 305 extending from and the hundreds of gate lines 306 extending from the Y-side drive circuit 303 do not pass through the liquid crystal sealing unit 304.

上の長期に渡って使用することが可能になった。Since there is almost no wiring that passes through the liquid crystal sealing portion as described above, the amount of water or gas that causes deterioration of the liquid crystal that enters the display area is extremely reduced. Therefore, it has become possible to use a stable and high-quality liquid crystal display device for a long period of 10 times or more than before.

上に形成されている。Next, FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the active matrix substrate taken along the line AA 'in FIG. In this figure, an interlayer insulating film which cannot be represented in FIG. 1 is shown. A drive circuit 402 formed of a thin film transistor is formed on a glass substrate 401 inside a liquid crystal sealing portion. A pixel to which a signal is applied by the thin film transistor in the display area is an interlayer insulating film 419 made of a silicon oxide film and an organic thin film 420.

高品質の表示が可能となった。By forming the organic thin film, the surface of the display area becomes flat, and the pixel electrodes are formed on this flat plane. Therefore, the common electrode and the pixel electrodes on the counter substrate are evenly spaced at any part. Therefore, the liquid crystal has the same degree of rotation, which enables uniform high-quality display.

表示ムラがない、コントラストの高い表示が得られる。As shown in FIG. 8 of the conventional example, when the picture element electrode 807 is formed directly on the interlayer insulating film 819, the picture element electrode 807 is formed according to the vertical shape of the interlayer insulating film 819.
As a result, the cross-sectional shape has a step and the interval between the common electrode 821 and the pixel electrode 807 becomes uneven, resulting in uneven display characteristics. However, as in the present invention, the organic thin film 420 on the interlayer insulating film 419 has a flat surface regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the interlayer insulating film 419. Therefore, the pixel electrode 40 formed on the organic thin film 420 having a flat surface.
7 has a flat cross section, and the distance between the pixel electrode 407 and the common electrode 421 is uniform over the entire display area.
A high-contrast display with no display unevenness can be obtained.

格段に向上できる。Further, by forming the driving circuit below the liquid crystal sealing portion, it is possible to save a planar space of the driving circuit, and it is possible to manufacture a liquid crystal display device having a smaller volume and a lighter weight. . Further, since the liquid crystal display device can be manufactured on the glass substrate having a smaller area, the productivity can be remarkably improved.

る。Further, the organic thin film 420 is formed in the liquid crystal sealing part 4.
It is formed so as to cover the drive circuit under 04. Then, the drive circuit is prevented from entering moisture or gas from the external environment, so that stable operation can be secured for a long period of time.

路内蔵の液晶表示装置を製造できる。On the driving circuit, there is a conductive film 414 formed at the same time as the pixel electrodes with the organic thin film 420 interposed therebetween.
This conductive film passes through the conductive material 415 and passes through the common electrode 42.
It is electrically connected to 1. As a result, static electricity generated around the drive circuit due to changes in the external environment flows into the common electrode, which has the advantage that the drive circuit can be protected from static electricity, and can be used even in a dry environment. Can be manufactured.

And the interface between the organic thin film and the liquid crystal encapsulation are also in good contact, so moisture and gas that cause deterioration of the liquid crystal do not enter the liquid crystal from the external environment, maintaining high quality display characteristics for a long time. can do.

品質な表示特性の画面を実現することができた。Further, a conductive film made of the material of the pixel electrode is formed at the same time as the pixel electrode on each of the X-side and Y-side drive circuits with the organic thin film 418 interposed therebetween. This makes the top of the drive circuit of the active matrix substrate the same as the top of the display area, so when applying the liquid crystal aligning agent to the substrate and rubbing with a roll, the edge of the display area The rubbing unevenness was eliminated, and a screen with high quality display characteristics could be realized over the entire display area.

下する問題点があった。Further, in the case of the liquid crystal display device in which the conventional drive circuit is formed on the same substrate, since the drive circuit is formed outside the liquid crystal sealing portion, the number of data lines and gate lines is almost the same. Since the wiring passed through the liquid crystal encapsulation part, gas or water that deteriorates the liquid crystal enters the display area from the interface between the step part of the data line or gate line and the liquid crystal encapsulation part, and deteriorates the liquid crystal characteristics. However, there is a problem that display characteristics are deteriorated.

高品質の液晶表示装置を製造できるようになった。However, in the structure of the present invention, the number of wirings passing through the liquid crystal sealing portion is 20 at most, which is 1/40 or less of the conventional one, so that the gas and water entering the display area are significantly reduced. For this reason, it has become possible to manufacture a high-quality liquid crystal display device that can be used for a significantly longer period of time than ever before.
