The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display provided with an
electrostatic protection element and an object of the present invention
is to provide the liquid crystal display provided with superior
redundancy and at the same time a sufficient protection function against
static electricity in which relatively low voltage generates for a long
period of time. Electrostatic protection element sections 28 and 30 are
provided with a first TFT 32 having a source electrode (S) and a drain
electrode (D) where the source electrode (S) is connected to external
output electrodes 16 and 18 and the drain electrode (D) is connected to
common wirings 22 and 24, a second TFT 38 having a conductor 42, a source
electrode (S), a drain electrode (D) and a gate electrode (G) where the
conductor 42 is connected to the gate electrode (G) of the first TFT 32,
the source electrode (S) is connected to the external output electrodes
16 and 18, the drain electrode (D) is connected to the conductor 42 and
the gate electrode (G) is electrically floated, and a third TFT 40 having
a source electrode (S), a drain electrode (D) and a gate electrode (G)
where the source electrode (S) is connected to the common wirings 22 and
24, the drain electrode (D) is connected to the conductor 42 and the gate
electrode is electrically floated.
