Abstract

Image display device having an electrode forming layer which includes a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of drain lines, a plurality of switching elements and the a plurality of pixel electrodes, and having reference electrode layer between the electrode forming layer and a substrate where the electrode forming layer formed thereon, and the reference electrode layer and the electrode forming layer are insulated by insulating layer.

Claims (15)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

first and second substrates;

a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and the second substrates;

a gate signal line and at least a drain signal line formed on the first substrate;

a source electrode of a TFT formed on the first substrate;

a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate; and

a counter electrode formed on the first substrate,

wherein the liquid crystal layer is driven by an electric field which is generated between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode,

wherein a connecting portion which connects the source electrode of the TFT and rounded at least up to 90 degree, and material of the connecting portion is different from a material of the pixel electrode, and

wherein the counter electrode is overlapped with the connecting portion.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein part of the connecting portion is in parallel with the gate signal line.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the source electrode, the connecting portion, and the pixel electrode are disposed between a passivation layer and a gate insulation layer.

4. A liquid crystal display according to claim 3 , wherein the pixel electrode comprises a plurality of slits.

5. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the source electrode and the connecting portion are disposed between a passivation layer and a gate insulation layer, and the pixel electrode is disposed on the passivation layer.

6. A liquid crystal display according to claim 5 , wherein the pixel electrode comprises a plurality of slits.
