Patent ID: 8710509

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel, comprising: an array substrate including: a display area, in which a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix form on a substrate, wherein the pixel includes: a switching device; a lower electrode; an insulating layer formed on the lower electrode; an upper electrode, which has a plurality of slits to generate a fringe electric field between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and which is formed on the insulating layer; and a common signal line, which supplies a predetermined common potential, and which is formed at a layer lower than the insulating layer; a signal line crossing the scanning line; and a contact hole; and an opposite substrate including a black matrix and arranged to be opposite to the array substrate with sandwiching a liquid crystal, wherein one electrode of the upper electrode and the lower electrode is a pixel electrode connected to the switching element, and the other electrode thereof is a common electrode having the predetermined common potential, wherein the signal line is disposed at every two pixels adjacent in a scanning line direction, wherein the contact hole connects the common electrode and the common signal line, and wherein the contact hole is shared by the adjacent two pixels and is formed at an intervening region of the two adjacent pixels in which the signal line is not provided.
