Patent ID: 6903793

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates; drain lines and gate lines formed on one of said pair of substrates and crossing each other in a matrix form, wherein a region bounded by a pair of said drain lines and a pair of said gate lines defines a pixel; a switching element associated with and disposed relative to each pixel; a sheet-like counter electrode comprising a transparent conductive film arranged at each pixel; a counter voltage line formed on said counter electrode, said counter voltage line including a multi-layered structure comprising a first molybdenum layer, followed by an aluminum layer or an alloy layer comprising essentially of aluminum, followed by a second molybdenum layer; a first insulating layer formed on said counter electrode and said counter voltage line; a second insulating layer formed on said first insulating layer; and a pixel electrode comprising a transparent conductive film that is electrically connected to said switching element, wherein said counter voltage line intersects said drain lines through said first insulated film, wherein said counter voltage line has a first width where it intersects said drain lines and a second width where it does not intersect said drain lines, said first width being different from said second width.
