Patent ID: 8223306

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pair of substrates which are arranged to face each other with liquid crystal therebetween, a plurality of pixel regions, a plurality of gate signal lines which are formed on one substrate of the pair of substrates, and a plurality of drain signal lines which are formed on the one substrate; wherein each of the plurality of pixel regions is surrounded by a pair of the gate signal lines which are adjacent each other and a pair of the drain signal lines which are adjacent each other; wherein each of the plurality of pixel regions includes a first electrode and a second electrode which are formed on the one substrate; wherein each of the plurality of pixel regions is constituted of a first region and a second region which are arranged in a longitudinal direction in which the pair of the drain signal lines extend; wherein in the first region, the first electrode is formed in a planar shape extending continuously over a major portion of the first region and below an insulation film, and the second electrode has a plurality of linear parts which extend linearly in the longitudinal direction and are arranged with respect to each other and is formed above the insulation film; wherein the plurality of linear parts of the second electrode which extend in the longitudinal direction are overlapped with respect to the planar shape of the first electrode in the first region in plan view; and wherein a number of the linear parts of the second electrode disposed in the first region is larger than a number of the linear parts of the second electrode disposed in the second region.
