Patent ID: 8384867

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a pair of substrates facing each other via a liquid crystal layer; a gate line provided in one substrate of the pair of substrates, the gate line being disposed to extend in a first direction; a first storage capacity electrode disposed in a same layer as the gate line; a thin film transistor including a gate electrode connected to the gate line; a first pixel electrode disposed closer to the liquid crystal layer than the gate line through a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer; a shielding electrode provided in a same layer as the first pixel electrode, the shielding electrode being disposed such that, in a plan view, at least a part thereof is located in a planar region existing between the gate line and the first pixel electrode; a connection portion provided in a layer between the gate line and the first pixel electrode, the connection portion electrically connecting a source electrode of the thin film transistor with the first pixel electrode; and a common electrode that faces the first pixel electrode via the liquid crystal layer and that is set to have the same potential as the shielding electrode, wherein the first storage capacity electrode is set to have a same potential as that of the shielding electrode, wherein the first storage capacity electrode and the connection portion have an overlapping region in a plan view, wherein the shielding electrode covers a part of the overlapping region of the first capacity storage electrode and the connection portion through the second insulating layer along the first direction, wherein a length of the connection portion along the first direction is longer than a length of the source electrode along the first direction, and wherein a length of the shielding electrode along the first direction is longer than the length of the connection portion along the first direction.
