Abstract:
1. A display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a plurality of video signal lines, a plurality of gate signal lines, and a plurality of counter voltage signal lines formed on the first substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the first substrate; a plurality of counter electrodes are formed on the first substrate and are connected to the counter voltage signal line; a plurality of thin film transistors are formed on the first substrate; and a plurality of pixels, each pixel includes a pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes, a counter electrode of the plurality of counter electrodes and a thin film transistor of the plurality of thin film transistors; wherein the thin film transistor includes a first semiconductor layer, a drain electrode electrically connected to the video signal line, and a source electrode electrically connected to the pixel electrode; wherein the pixel electrode has at least a first side portion which extends in parallel to the video signal line and at least a second side portion which does not extend in parallel to the video signal line and the gate signal line; and wherein the counter electrode has at least a first side potion which extends in parallel to the video signal line and at least a second side portion which does not extend in parallel to the video signal line and the gate signal line.
