Patent ID: 6850303

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: an array substrate; an opposing substrate facing the array substrate; and liquid crystal held between the array substrate and the opposing substrate, wherein the array substrate is provided with: a plurality of gate wirings and a plurality of source wirings intersecting each other; a pixel electrode disposed in a region defined by two adjacent gate wirings and two adjacent source wirings; a switching element for switching a voltage applied to the pixel electrode from the source wiring based on a signal voltage fed from the gate wiring; a common wiring formed between the two adjacent gate wirings; a common electrode being electrically connected to the common wiring and generating an electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrode creating a voltage for driving the liquid crystal; and a storage capacity electrode electrically connected to the pixel electrode, wherein the pixel electrode and the storage capacity electrode are layered so as to hold at least some part of the common wiring in between through an insulating layer.
