Patent ID: 7199851

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: an insulating substrate; a plurality of pixels formed in the insulating substrate; a pixel electrode formed in at least one pixel of the plurality of pixels, a common electrode formed in at least one pixel of the plurality of pixels and placed across from the pixel electrode; a capacitor electrode connected to the common electrode; a scan line formed substantially parallel to the capacitor electrode; a signal line formed to cross the scan line with an insulating layer therebetween, for supplying a signal to the pixel electrode; a counter substrate placed opposite to the insulating substrate with liquid crystals filled therebetween; a capacitor terminal placed opposite to the capacitor electrode with the insulating layer therebetween to generate capacitance, and connected to the pixel electrode through at least two contact holes created in a second insulating layer above the capacitor terminal; and a drain electrode electrically connected to the capacitor terminal through the pixel electrode; wherein the liquid crystal display device displays images by applying an electric field substantially parallel to the insulating substrate between the pixel electrode and the common electrode to align the liquid crystal, and the pixel electrode comprises at least two voltage supply paths to the capacitor terminal.
