Patent ID: 8610856

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate comprising an insulative substrate, a first gate line and a second gate line which are disposed above the insulative substrate, a common line, a first electrode, an insulation film, and a second electrode, the common line being disposed between the first gate line and the second gate line above the insulative substrate and comprising a first end surface, which is formed at a first distance from the first gate line and is inclined at a first angle to the insulative substrate, and a second end surface, which is formed at a second distance, which is shorter than the first distance, from the second gate line and is inclined at a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, to the insulative substrate, the first electrode being disposed between the first gate line and the second gate line above the insulative substrate and put in contact with the common line, the insulation film being disposed above the first electrode, and the second electrode being disposed above the insulation film, opposed to the first electrode, extending immediately above the first end surface of the common line, and comprising a slit formed therein; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
