Patent ID: 8094281

Claim:
A substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising: an insulating substrate; a gate bus line located on the insulating substrate; a drain bus line arranged to cross the gate bus line with an insulating film interposed between the drain bus line and the gate bus line; a storage capacitor bus line arranged approximately parallel with the gate bus line; a transistor including a gate electrode connected electrically to the gate bus line, a drain electrode connected electrically to the drain bus line, and a source electrode; a first pixel electrode connected electrically to the source electrode of the transistor; a second pixel electrode separate from the first pixel electrode; and at least one slit provided between end portions of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; wherein a width of a portion of the at least one slit that is located over the storage capacitor bus line is greater than a shortest width of a portion of the at least one slit that is not located over the storage capacitor bus line.
