Patent ID: 8482689

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising in this order: a thin film transistor array substrate; a liquid crystal layer; and a counter substrate, the thin film transistor array substrate comprising: source lines and gate lines that are disposed on a main surface of a transparent substrate in a lattice form; a storage capacitor wiring disposed between the gate lines so as to cross the source lines; a transparent pixel electrode disposed in a pixel region defined by the sources lines and the gate lines; a thin film transistor comprising a gate electrode connected to the gate lines, a source electrode connected to the source lines, and a drain electrode connected to the transparent pixel electrode, in the vicinity of an intersection between the source lines and the gate lines; a gate insulating film arranged between the gate electrode and the source and drain electrodes in layer sequence; and an interlayer insulating film arranged between the source and drain electrodes and the transparent pixel electrode in layer sequence, wherein a first transparent electrode in a lower layer of the drain electrode and a second transparent electrode connected to the storage capacitor wiring are disposed on the gate insulating film, and the second transparent electrode faces the transparent pixel electrode with the interlayer insulating film therebetween.
