LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

It is an object of the invention to provide a liquid crystal display device which permits both miniaturization and cost reduction to be realized and has a high reliability. A device comprises a driving substrate ( 11 ) having wiring layers ( 18 a , 18 b), an opposite substrate ( 21 ) having an opposite electrode ( 24 ), a sealing ( 31 ) member disposed between the driving substrate ( 11 ) and the opposite substrate ( 21 ), and a liquid crystal layer ( 41 ) formed by a liquid crystal material sealed by the sealing member ( 31 ) in the space between the driving substrate ( 11 ) and the opposite substrate ( 21 ). A side face ( 11 a) of the driving substrate ( 11 ) is flush with a side face ( 21 a) of the opposite substrate ( 21 ). The wiring layers ( 18 a , 18 b) extend to an edge of the side face ( 11 a) of the driving substrate ( 11 ), an end of the wiring layers ( 18 a , 18 b) having a possibility to contact with the atmosphere, the opposite electrode ( 24 ) extending to or near to an edge of the side face ( 21 a) of the opposite substrate ( 21 ). A dielectric member ( 16 ) having a relative dielectric constant equal to or less than 5 is disposed between the wiring layers ( 18 a , 18 b) and the opposite electrode ( 24 ) at least on the side of the sealing member ( 31 ) remote from the liquid crystal layer ( 41 ).
