Claim 0:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate opposing the first substrate; and
a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein
the first substrate comprises a scanning line extending in a first direction, a signal line extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a plurality of pixel electrodes including a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode, a common electrode including a first common electrode disposed between the plurality of pixel electrodes and the liquid crystal layer and a second common electrode disposed below the plurality of pixel electrodes, and a metal layer having a same potential as that of the common electrode,
the first common electrode includes a plurality of sub-electrodes that are separated from each other,
the metal layer is disposed on the plurality of sub-electrodes and connects the plurality of sub-electrodes to each other,
gaps are provided respectively between the plurality of sub-electrodes,
the gaps overlap the plurality of pixel electrodes, respectively, and
the metal layer overlaps an area between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode in plan view.
