Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of gate lines and drain lines formed on the first substrate; thin film transistors each adjacent to an intersection between a corresponding gate line and a corresponding drain line, and having a gate connected to the corresponding gate line, a drain connected to the corresponding drain line, and a source; an interlayer insulation film formed covering the thin film transistors, the gate lines, and the drain lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes each connected to the source of the corresponding thin film transistor and partially formed on the interlayer insulation film, wherein the pixel electrode is overlapped with the corresponding drain line and/or corresponding gate line; a second substrate disposed opposing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first and second substrates; a common electrode formed on the second substrate; and an orientation dividing portion for dividing an orientation direction of liquid crystal by generating weak electric fields and/or electric fields in a sloped direction, and further comprising means for providing the interlayer insulation film with a thickness sufficient to alleviate an influence on the liquid crystal layer from an electric field generated by the thin film transistors, the gate lines, and the drain lines, wherein a surface of the pixel electrode facing the liquid crystal layer is substantially flat.
