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 (14)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a first substrate;

a liquid crystal layer, disposed above the first substrate, containing liquid crystal molecules;

a second substrate disposed above the liquid crystal layer;

a gate line;

a drain line;

a pixel electrode; a switching element, connected to the gate line, including a first electrode connected to the drain line and a second electrode disposed on the pixel electrode;

a first insulation layer disposed on and above the pixel electrode and the drain line; and

a common electrode disposed between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer,

wherein the first electrode is formed so as to extend from the drain line, and wherein the second electrode overlaps the pixel electrode, and

wherein a boundary between the first electrode and the drain line is identified with a boundary between the switching element and the drain line.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein either of the pixel electrode and the common electrode is formed with a slit which extends a different direction from the gate line and the drain line.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , further comprising: a second insulation layer disposed below the second electrode, the pixel electrode and the drain line, wherein the second insulation layer contacts directly with the first insulation layer.

4. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 , wherein the pixel electrode and the first electrode are disposed on the same layer.
