Patent ID: 7110068

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a plurality of scanning signal lines, a plurality of video signal lines which cross the plurality of scanning signal lines, and a plurality of pixels which are arranged in a matrix array on one of a pair of substrates which sandwich a liquid crystal layer therebetween, wherein: each pixel in the plurality of pixels includes a switching element driven by the scanning signal line and a pixel electrode to which video signals are supplied from the video signal line through the switching element; one substrate includes opaque conductive layers at positions where portions thereof overlap the video signal lines and are separated therefrom by way of an insulation film, such that the opaque conductive layers are arranged closer to one substrate side than the video signal lines; and each opaque conductive layer has a portion which has a width greater than the width of the video signal line, each opaque conductive layer is partially overlapped with respect to both of adjacent pixel electrodes of two neighboring pixels with the video signal line being arranged therebetween, and each opaque conductive layer is electrically connected to a video signal line; wherein each opaque conductive layer is electrically connected to the video signal line at one point by way of a contact hole formed in the insulation film.
