Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:an insulating substrate;first and second gate lines on said substrate;first and second data lines crossing said first and second gate lines and defining a pixel region;an insulating film on said gate lines;a pixel electrode in said pixel region;a switching element in said pixel region and connected between one of the first and said second gate lines and said pixel electrode;a storage capacitor including a first storage capacitor electrode made of a portion of said first gate line, a second storage capacitor electrode having a width that is substantially same as that of said first gate line, the insulating film being between the first and second storage capacitor electrodes; anda protecting film having a contact hole on the second storage capacitor electrode;wherein said pixel electrode overlaps said first and second gate lines on the protecting film and contacts the second storage capacitor electrode through the contact hole of the protecting film.
