Patent ID: 6992738

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panel comprising: a first substrate on which a plurality of pixel regions each including a pixel electrode, an active element corresponding to the pixel electrode and a color filter layer are arranged in a matrix array; a second substrate which forms common electrodes thereon, each common electrode generating an electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a first electrode layer which is formed of a conductive thin film and is electrically connected to a drive output terminal of the active element is provided to each pixel region of the first substrate, an opening portion is formed in a portion of the color filter layer in each pixel region of the first substrate, the opening portion is overlapped with the first electrode layer at an area except for the drive output terminal of the active element, and a second electrode layer which constitutes the pixel electrode above the color filter layer and is electrically connected to the first electrode layer through the opening portion is formed.
