Patent ID: 8253873

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal held between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal display panel having multiple pixels arranged in matrix, each of the multiple pixels having a thin film transistor; and a transmissive display area provided in at least part of each of the pixels, having a laminated structure containing a first transparent electrode, a first insulating film, a second transparent electrode, a second insulating film, and a third transparent electrode which are laminated in this order with the first transparent electrode closest to the first substrate, wherein, for each pixel, the first transparent electrode is formed in a rectangular shape and substantially covers the transmissive display area in a plan view, the second transparent electrode is formed in a rectangular shape and substantially covers the transmissive display area in a plan view, the first transparent electrode has a first region that does not overlap with the second transparent electrode, the first region is disposed at first side of the thin film transistor in a pixel area, the second transparent electrode has a second region which does not overlap with the first transparent electrode, the second region is disposed at a second side of the thin film transistor that is opposite to the first side, the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode are electrically insulated from each other and together form a first storage capacitor through the first insulating film, and the second transparent electrode and the third transparent electrode are electrically insulated from each other and together form a second storage capacitor through the second insulating film.
