Patent ID: 8368830

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal held between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal display panel having multiple pixels arranged in matrix, a thin film transistor which each of the multiple pixels has, a signal line connected with a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, a gate line connected with a gate electrode of the thin film transistor; and a display area provided in at least part of each of the pixels, wherein the display area has a laminated structure containing a first electrode, a first insulating film, a second electrode, a second insulating film, and a third electrode which are laminated in this order with the first electrode closest to the first substrate, the first electrode is formed in a rectangular shape and substantially covers the display area in a plan view, the second electrode is formed in a rectangular shape and substantially covers the display area in a plan view, the second electrode is connected with a source electrode of the thin film transistor without passing through the first insulating film, the second electrode has a first region which overlaps with the first electrode and a second region which does not overlap with the first electrode, the second region is disposed at a side of the drain line in the second electrode, and protrudes from the first region in a direction where the gate line extends, the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically insulated from each other and together form a first storage capacitor through the first insulating film, and the second electrode and the third electrode are electrically insulated from each other and together form a second storage capacitor through the second insulating film.
