Patent ID: 8749726

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a first storage capacitance line and a second storage capacitance line each extending in a first direction, a gate line which is located between the first storage capacitance line and the second storage capacitance line and extends in the first direction, a semiconductor layer which is located at a substantially central part of a pixel and located above the gate line, a source line which is put in contact with the semiconductor layer and extends in a second direction crossing the first direction, a drain electrode which is put in contact with the semiconductor layer and extends above the first storage capacitance line and the second storage capacitance line, and a pixel electrode including a first main pixel electrode which is electrically connected to the drain electrode, is opposed to the first storage capacitance line and extends in the first direction, and a second main pixel electrode which is electrically connected to the drain electrode, is opposed to the second storage capacitance line and extends in the first direction; a second substrate including a common electrode, the common electrode including main common electrodes which extend in the first direction and are located on both sides of the first main pixel electrode and on both sides of the second main pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
