Claim Text:
1. A display device comprising: a substrate; and a pixel portion over the substrate and a signal line conductive layer and pixels comprised in the pixel portion, each pixel comprising: an oxide semiconductor transistor within a boundary of said pixel in the pixel portion and comprising a semiconductor layer, a source electrode layer and a drain electrode layer, each of the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer being in electrical contact with the semiconductor layer; a second insulating film over the semiconductor layer, the source electrode layer, and the drain electrode layer; a first transparent conductive layer over the second insulating film; a third insulating film over the first transparent conductive layer; an opening formed in the second insulating film and the third insulating film; and a second transparent conductive layer over the third insulating film and in electrical contact with one of the source electrode layer and the drain electrode layer through the opening in the second insulating film and the third insulating film, wherein the signal line conductive layer is generally oriented along a column direction, wherein the pixels are arranged in lines and columns, the second transparent conductive layer of each pixel of a given column being connected to the signal line conductive layer via the semiconductor layer, wherein the columns are parallel to the column direction, wherein the second transparent conductive layer of a first pixel comprises a first portion and a second portion parallel to each other, wherein the first transparent conductive layer of the first pixel is continuously formed so as to overlap with the first portion, with the second portion, and with a totality of a space separating the first portion and the second portion, and wherein the signal line conductive layer is slanted with respect to the column direction so as to be parallel with side edges of the second transparent conductive layer that are oblique with respect to the column direction.
