Patent ID: 8059245

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other with liquid crystal layer therebetween, the first substrate having a plurality of drain signal lines, a plurality of gate signal lines and a plurality of counter electrode signal lines, and a plurality of pixel regions defined by the drain signal lines and the gate signal lines; each of the pixel regions having; a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having plane form without the slit, the pixel electrode is connected to the thin film transistor through a source electrode, a counter electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer which forms a electric field for operating a liquid crystal for cooperating with the pixel electrode, the counter electrode has a plurality of slits, and a first insulating layer is formed on the first substrate, a second insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer, a third insulating layer is formed on the second insulating layer, the gate signal line and the counter electrode signal line are formed between the first substrate and the first insulating layer, the drain signal line is formed between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, the pixel electrode is formed between the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer.
