Abstract

A liquid crystal display device ( 10 ) includes: gate wiring ( 501 ) formed on a substrate ( 500 ) and along a first direction; drain wiring ( 702 ) formed on the substrate ( 500 ) and along a second direction that is different from the first direction; a common electrode ( 900 ) formed so as to cover the drain wiring ( 702 ) through intermediation of an insulating film ( 800 ); and common wiring ( 901 ) formed on the common electrode ( 900 ) and along the drain wiring ( 702 ). The common wiring ( 901 ) is formed so that at least a part of the common wiring ( 901 ) overlaps with a region in which the drain wiring ( 702 ) is formed.

Claims (17)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a gate wiring formed on a substrate and along a first direction;

a drain wiring formed on the substrate and along a second direction that is different from the first direction;

a common electrode formed so as to cover the drain wiring through intermediation of a first insulating film; and

a common wiring electrically connected with the common electrode, at least a part of the common wiring overlapping with the drain wiring, when viewed from above an upper surface of the common wiring,

wherein one of opposing pattern edges of the common wiring is formed above a region in which the drain wiring is formed, when viewed from above an upper surface of the common wiring, and

another of the opposing pattern edges of the common wiring is formed above a region located outside the region in which the drain wiring is formed, when viewed from above the upper surface of the common wiring,

wherein each of the first insulating film and the common electrode has a raised portion formed above the drain wiring, when viewed from above the upper surface of the common wiring,

wherein at least a part of the common wiring overlaps with the raised portion of the common electrode, when viewed from above the upper surface of the common wiring, and

wherein the one of the opposing pattern edges of the common wiring overlaps with the raised portion of the common electrode when viewed from above the upper surface of the common wiring, and the other of the opposing pattern edges of the common wiring is formed above a region located outside the region in which the raised portion of the common electrode is formed when viewed from above an upper surface of the common wiring.

2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein both of the opposing pattern edges of the common wiring have an angle of less than 90 degrees with respect to a bottom surface of the common wiring.

3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the common wiring has a portion which is wider than the drain wiring in a cross sectional view along the first direction.

4. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 further comprising a pixel electrode, wherein the pixel electrode is positioned over the common electrode.

5. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the common wiring has a line which overlaps with the drain wiring, when viewed from above the upper surface of the common wiring, the line of the common wiring is extended along the second direction.

6. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the common wiring is positioned higher than the gate wiring.

7. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the common wiring is positioned higher than the drain wiring.

8. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the one of the opposing pattern edges of the common wiring overlaps with a portion of the drain wiring that is between two opposing drain wiring pattern edges, when viewed from above an upper surface of the common wiring.
