Patent ID: 8497969

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: an array substrate comprising a storage capacitance line extended in a row direction; and a pixel electrode which is disposed in each of pixels, the pixel electrode comprising: a first major electrode portion having a strip shape extended in a column direction; and a first subelectrode portion which is positioned above the storage capacitance line and is electrically connected to the first major electrode portion; a counter-substrate which is disposed to be opposed to the array substrate and comprises a counter-electrode which is common to the pixels, the counter-electrode comprising second major electrode portions each having a strip shape and a second sub-electrode portion; and a liquid crystal layer which is held between the array substrate and the counter-substrate, wherein: the second major electrode portions are disposed in parallel to the first major electrode portion in a manner that the first major electrode portion is interposed between the second major electrode portions; and the second sub-electrode portion is opposed to the first sub electrode portion and is electrically connected to the second major electrode portion.
