Patent ID: 8345205

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween; the first substrate having a plurality of drain signal lines and a plurality of gate signal lines; and a plurality of pixel regions defined by the drain signal lines and the gate signal lines; wherein the pixel regions include: a first electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having a plurality of linear shapes; a second electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having a planar shape, the second electrode being overlapped with the first electrode through an insulation film; a thin film transistor having a video signal supplied thereto from the drain signal line; the first electrode being connected with the thin film transistor and having an electric potential of the video signal supplied thereto through the thin film transistor, and a standard electric potential being supplied to the second electrode; and a third electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer arranged between the drain signal line and the liquid crystal layer, the third electrode being isolated with the first electrode electrically.
