Patent ID: 8339532

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device of an active matrix type, comprising: a liquid crystal layer; two substrates by which the liquid crystal layer is sandwiched; electrodes respectively provided in the two substrates, the electrodes applying a voltage across the liquid crystal layer; and a gate bus line; and a source bus line, one of the two substrates being provided with a selecting element of a pixel, said one of the two substrates being provided with a first electrode serving as one of the electrodes, the first electrode having a striped electrode pattern which causes liquid crystal molecules to be aligned along a stripe line direction when a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer, a contact portion of the first electrode with the selecting element being made in a region opposed to, along a film thickness direction, a first region to which one of the gate bus line and the source bus line is allocated, the contact portion being arranged so as to overlap with the gate bus line or the source bus line when the contact portion is viewed from the film thickness direction.
