Patent ID: 8294863

Claim:
A method of producing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a plurality of signal lines, scan lines and switching elements on an array substrate; (b) forming a first organic insulating film covering the signal lines, the scan lines and the switching elements; (c) forming common electrodes on the first organic insulating film; (d) forming first contact holes in the first organic insulating film in correspondence with the switching elements; (e) forming connection elements electrically connected to respective of the switching elements through the first contact holes without extending from the first contact holes; (f) forming a second organic insulating film covering the first organic insulating film and the connection elements; (g) forming second contact holes in the second organic insulating film in correspondence with the connection elements; and (h) forming pixel electrodes electrically connected to respective connection elements through the second contact holes, the pixel electrodes facing each common electrode and having a plurality of slits arranged in parallel.
