A liquid crystal display device which can protect a cell region from ESD
and improve a display area, is disclosed. A liquid liquid crystal display
device according to the present invention, includes: a cell region
arranged on the overall region of an array substrate; a gate line and a
data line arranged in the shape of matrix on the cell region; an ESD
protection part disposed at one side of a cross portion of the gate line
and the data line, the ESD protection part protecting the gate line and
the data line from ESD; and a thin film transistor disposed at the other
side of the cross portion, the thin film transistor acting as a switching
element.
