Patent ID: 6927808

Claim:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed to face each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween; a plurality of gate wiring lines and a plurality of drain wiring lines crossing said plurality of gate wiring lines in a matrix form formed on the first substrate: thin-film transistors formed in a way corresponding to respective cross points of said gate wiring lines and said drain wiring lines; a plurality of pixels, each pixel being delimited by an area surrounded by neighboring gate wiring lines and neighboring drain wiring lines; wherein at least a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode are formed in a respective pixel, both the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode have a first area which is constituted by an upper pixel electrode portion and a lower pixel electrode portion with an insulating layer therebetween and a second area which is constituted by the upper pixel electrode portion formed over the insulating layer; wherein an order of the first area and the second area in an elongated direction of the first and second pixel electrodes is different between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; and wherein the lower pixel electrode portion of the first pixel electrode and the lower pixel electrode portion of the second pixel electrode are connected to each other.
