Patent ID: 7911549

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first and second substrate; an alignment regulating structure provided on the second substrate; a plurality of pixel areas provided, each of the pixel areas including a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode provided on the first substrate; a transistor provided in each of the pixel areas, the transistor including gate, drain and source electrodes; a storage capacitor bus line provided on the first substrate and intersecting with at least one of the pixel areas; and a control capacitance electrode provided on the first substrate, the control capacitance electrode including a first portion which is electrically connected to the source electrode of the transistor, a second portion which is connected to the first sub-pixel electrode via a contact hole and which is entirely provided within an area where the first sub-pixel electrode overlaps the storage capacitor bus line and a third portion between the first portion and the second portion, the third portion overlapping the second sub-pixel electrode, wherein the source electrode is closer to the first portion than the second portion.
