Patent ID: 7995172

Claim:
A semitransparent liquid crystal display device, comprising: signal lines and scanning lines disposed in a matrix form; a pixel electrode formed in each of pixel regions defined by said signal lines and said scanning lines, said pixel electrode including a transparent electrode and a reflective electrode; and a thin film transistor connected to each pixel electrode, wherein said semitransparent liquid crystal display device comprises: a transparent insulating substrate; a first metal film and a scanning line formed on said transparent insulating substrate; a first insulating film formed on said transparent substrate and covers said first metal film and said scanning line; a signal line formed above said first metal film via said first insulating film; a second insulating film formed on said first insulating film and covers said signal line; a transparent electrode formed on said second insulating film; a third insulating film formed to cover a portion of said transparent electrode and said second insulating film; and a second metal film formed on said third insulating film, wherein said first metal film does not overlap said transparent electrode in a plan-view perspective and overlaps, at its edge, said second metal film in a plan-view perspective, wherein said signal line overlaps neither said second metal film nor said transparent electrode in a plan-view perspective, and overlaps, at least a portion thereof, said first metal film in a plan-view perspective, and wherein a slit is formed in a portion of said first metal film.
