Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of transparent substrates facing each other through a liquid crystal layer disposed therebetween; a switching element made of a thin-film transistor comprising a gate electrode formed in a pixel region, a gate insulating film formed so as to cover the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer disposed on the gate insulating film and an electrode; a first insulating film disposed on the switching element; a first electrode disposed above the switching element through the first insulating film; a second insulating film disposed on the first electrode; a contact hole formed in the first insulating film and in the second insulating film and reaching the electrode of the switching element; and a second electrode disposed over the first electrode through the second insulating film, extending along the contact hole to the electrode of the switching element, and connected to the electrode of the switching element, wherein an electrically floating electrode is formed in a peripheral region of the contact hole on the first insulating film over the switching element.
