Patent ID: 8416357

Claim:
A display device comprising: a first substrate; a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate, the pixel electrode comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a connection portion disposed between the first and second portions, the connection portion being continuous with the first and second portions; a capacitor line disposed on the first substrate, and disposed between the first substrate and the connection portion of the pixel electrode; a capacitor electrode disposed on the first substrate substantially in a dumbbell shape of an island type, and overlapping the pixel electrode and the capacitor line; an insulating layer including a first contact hole and a second contact hole, the insulating layer disposed between the capacitor electrode and the pixel electrode; a second substrate; and a common electrode disposed on the second substrate, and comprising a first opening pattern and a second opening pattern overlapping the first portion and the second portion of the pixel electrode, respectively, wherein the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the capacitor electrode through both the first and second contact holes.
