Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device having a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates, a plurality of scanning electrodes formed on one substrate of said pair of substrates, a plurality of signal electrodes formed so as to cross the plurality of scanning electrodes, a plurality of transistors each formed at a position corresponding to each of the crossing points of the scanning and signal electrodes, and a plurality of pixel electrodes each connected to each of the plurality of transistors, further comprising:a plurality of common electrodes formed on one substrate of said pair of substrates for generating an electric field in said liquid crystal layer; wherein said plurality of common electrodes include a connection extending in parallel with a direction of extension of said plurality scanning electrodes, and at least two portions extending substantially in parallel to one another being interconnected by the connection and extended from the connection in a direction of extension of said plurality of signal electrodes so as to orient to directions from the connection to two scanning electrodes on both sides of the connection; and wherein the connection of said plurality of common electrodes is formed in a central region between the two scanning electrodes.
