Appeal No. 1998-0564
Application 08/359,840
final rejection of claims 15 through 41, which constitute all
the claims remaining in the application.
Representative claim 15 is reproduced below:
15. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a first electrode substrate having a plurality of signal
lines and a plurality of scanning lines disposed in a matrix
manner and a plurality of pixel electrodes, each of the pixel
electrodes being connected to at least one of the signal lines
and at least one of the scanning lines via a switching
element, said switching element having an active layer
composed of a polycrystalline silicon film, said first
electrode substrate including:
an opaque conducive film provided between the pixel
electrodes and at least one of a plurality of said
signal lines and a plurality of said scanning lines,
for reducing coupling capacitance therebetween,
a first insulating film provided between the
conductive film and said at least one of the plurality
of signal lines and the plurality of
scanning lines, and
a second insulating layer disposed between the
conductive film and the pixel electrodes;
a second electrode substrate including an opposing
electrode which is opposite to the pixel electrodes; and
a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first and
second electrode substrates.
