Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate having a common electrode thereon; a second substrate coupled to the first substrate, the second substrate having a connection electrode facing a portion of the common electrode on the first substrate, the connection electrode including a lower electrode made of metal, an insulating layer formed over the lower electrode and having a plurality of contact holes, and an upper electrode made of oxide conductor over the insulating layer, the upper electrode being electrically connected to the lower electrode via the plurality of contact holes; and a plurality of conductive gap members disposed between said portion of the common electrode and the upper electrode of the connection electrode to electrically connect said portion of the common electrode to the upper electrode of the connection electrode, wherein the plurality of contact holes are formed in a peripheral area to avoid a central area of the connection electrode, and said lower electrode is present below said central area of the connection electrode.
