Does not contribute to the display. This hinders the high aperture ratio and high definition of the liquid crystal display device. In order to solve this problem, an interlayer insulating film is further provided on the signal line, and a pixel electrode is provided on the upper layer to insulate the pixel electrode from the signal line and reduce the distance between the pixel electrode and the signal line. A method of overlapping pixel electrodes may be adopted. As the interlayer insulating film on the signal line, an organic thin film such as SiO2 or polyimide is used. The interlayer insulating film on the signal line is
The formation method is simple, the dielectric constant is small (to reduce the coupling capacitance between the signal line and the pixel electrode), the stress is small, and the film thickness is easy (for the same reason as the dielectric constant).
Further, since the flatness of the film surface is easily made better than that of SiO2, it is advantageous to use polyimide from the viewpoint of good display quality.

In the conventional liquid crystal display device as shown in FIG. 1, since the driver circuit is located outside the seal, the size of the device itself becomes large. Moreover, after the element substrate and the counter substrate are joined, There has been a problem that the driver circuit is easily damaged during handling during manufacturing and is likely to cause a failure. In addition, since the driver circuit is outside the seal, there are many wirings (signal lines and scanning lines) that cross the seal, and moisture enters the liquid crystal through the interface between the driver circuit and the display area and the seal, and There was a problem of deterioration.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the liquid crystal display device of this embodiment. FIG. 2A is a plan view of the liquid crystal display device of this embodiment, and FIGS. 2B and 2C are A of FIG. 2A.
It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view in -A, BB. On the transparent element substrate 201, the display area 202, the driver circuit 203,
An external connection terminal 204, a common terminal 205, a wiring connecting these, and the like are formed, the element substrate 201 and the counter substrate 207 are bonded by a seal 206, and a liquid crystal 208 is sealed between both substrates. Driver circuit 20
3 is provided between the seal 206 and the display area 202.
By doing so, the driver circuit 203 is changed to the display area 202.
The liquid crystal display device can be made smaller than the case where the liquid crystal display device is located outside. In the display area 202, the pixel drive transistor 209,
The first wiring layer 21 together with the pixel electrode 210, the pixel drive transistor 209, and the gate electrode of the driver circuit 203.
1 and the signal lines included in the second wiring layer 212 are formed, and the first wiring layer 211 and the second wiring layer 2 are formed.
12 is insulated by the first interlayer insulating film 213, and the second wiring layer 212 and the pixel electrode 210 are insulated by the second interlayer insulating film 214. The second interlayer insulating film 214 is formed by removing the portion above the driver circuit 203 and below the seal 206. This is because the second interlayer insulating film 214, which is mainly made of polyimide, causes constant polarization due to the electric field of the wiring of the driver circuit 203, and in the long term, the liquid crystal orientation is disturbed over a large area and the display quality is disturbed. The purpose is to prevent the deterioration of the liquid crystal and prevent moisture and impurities from entering the liquid crystal through the polyimide. An alignment film 215 for further aligning the liquid crystal is formed on the element substrate 201. The common terminal 205 and the common electrode 216 on the counter substrate 207 are electrically connected by the conducting agent 217, and the potential of the common electrode 216 is controlled. On the counter substrate 207, in addition to the common electrode 216, an alignment film 215 and a light-shielding film 2 if necessary.
18 and a color filter are formed in advance. (The color filter is omitted in this embodiment.) The common electrode 216 on the counter substrate 207 has the part overlapping the seal 206 and the part facing the driver circuit 203 removed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the wiring other than the common terminal 205 on the element substrate 201 and the common electrode 216 from being short-circuited by dust in the seal 206 or the driver circuit 203.

Next, a second interlayer insulating film 307 is formed on the element substrate 301, and a pixel electrode 308 is formed thereon,
A second interlayer insulating film 307 is formed on the pixel driving transistor 302.
Connect through the contact hole opened in the. Further, an alignment film 309 is formed (FIG. 3B). The process of FIG. 3B will be described in more detail. In this embodiment, after the second interlayer insulating film 307 (here, polyimide) is formed by spin coating, the pixel electrode 308 and the pixel transistor 3 are formed.
A contact hole for connecting with 02 is formed by photolithography, but at this time, the second wiring layer 306 is not exposed. That is, the second interlayer insulating film 307 is not yet formed on the driver circuit 303 and the portion below the seal at this point.
Is left. Next, the pixel electrode 308 is formed, and then the second portion of the portion above the driver circuit 303 and below the seal is formed.
The interlayer insulating film 307 of is removed. This is the pixel electrode 308
When indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as the material and an aqua regia-based etching agent (aqueous solution containing nitric acid and hydrochloric acid) is used for the etching molding, if the second wiring layer 306, that is, Al is exposed, the etching agent becomes ITO. This is because Al is attacked. Since the second wiring layer 306 may be exposed when the ITO (that is, the pixel electrode 308) is formed by etching in plasma containing hydrogen or methane, for example,
The second interlayer insulating film 307 forming step may be performed once. The second interlayer insulating film 307 is a polyimide thin film here, but other resin thin films having relatively high heat resistance and being transparent can be used. Also, the second interlayer insulating film 307 may be a multilayer film of polyimide and SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 . In this case, it is necessary to remove the second interlayer insulating film 307 on the driver circuit 303 and under the seal, which is polyimide, and the others may be left or removed. The alignment film 309 is also a polyimide thin film, and is formed using a printing technique (flexographic printing or the like).
It is formed only in the portion necessary for aligning the liquid crystal. The alignment film 309 may be formed by spin coating.

In the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, the aperture ratio can be increased by forming the signal line and the pixel electrode in separate layers using polyimide as an interlayer insulating film, and the polyimide is spin-coated. Since the element substrate surface is flat, the liquid crystal orientation is not disturbed and high quality display can be obtained. Furthermore, because the driver circuit on the element substrate is on the display area side of the seal, hundreds of signal lines and scanning lines extending from the driver circuit to the pixel area do not cross the seal, and wiring that crosses the seal is connected from the external connection terminal. Power supply lines, clock lines, video signal lines, etc. connected to the driver circuit can be significantly reduced to tens of lines at most, so that water entering from the wiring crossing the seal and the seal interface can be significantly reduced, and the reliability is high. Also, because the driver circuit is inside the seal, there is an effect that the device can be made smaller than when the driver circuit is outside the seal, and it is possible to handle after bonding the element substrate and the counter substrate (for example, dicing process). It does not damage the driver circuit.
