Abstract
A liquid crystal display device in which counter-measures are taken for static electricity from the step of forming wiring lines of a substrate on the side where thin film transistors or switching elements are formed to the step of completing module mounting is suited for improving the productivity and for lowering the production cost of the display device. For this purpose, the liquid crystal display device is characterized in that resistor elements for connecting gate lines or drain lines are disposed inside a seal and are arranged in one or more lines outside an effective pixel region, or additional gate lines and additional pixels are arranged in a plurality of lines outside the first gate line or the last gate line in the effective pixel region, and the additional gate lines are short-circuited with each other at their end portions.
