Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a first gate line and a second gate line which extend in a first direction, a storage capacitance line which extends in the first direction between the first gate line and the second gate line, a first source line and a second source line which extend in a second direction crossing the first direction, a switching element which is electrically connected to the first gate line and the first source line, a main pixel electrode which extends in the second direction between the first source line and the second source line, a sub-pixel electrode which extends in the first direction, is electrically connected to the switching element, crosses the main pixel electrode and is continuous with the main pixel electrode, and a first alignment film which covers the main pixel electrode and the sub-pixel electrode; a second substrate including a color filter which includes a first aperture portion defined by a first edge surrounding a position opposed to cross points between the main pixel electrode and the sub-pixel electrode, an overcoat layer which covers the color filter and extends over the first aperture portion, main common electrodes which extend in the second direction on both sides of the main pixel electrode on that side of the overcoat layer, which is opposed to the first substrate, and a second alignment film which covers the main common electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
