Abstract

A display device includes a switching element having a first input/output terminal electrically connected to a first signal line, a first wiring electrically connected to a second input/output terminal of the switching element, a transistor having a gate electrode connected to the first wiring, a second wiring electrically connected to a source or drain of the transistor, a pixel electrode connected to the second wiring, a first insulating layer which is arranged between the first wiring and the second wiring and is arranged between the first wiring and the pixel electrode, a second insulating layer between the first insulating layer and pixel electrode, and a conducting layer between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, the conducting layer including a region overlapping the pixel electrode. The conducting layer includes a dividing groove dividing the conducting layer into a plurality of regions at a region overlapping the pixel electrode.

Claims (43)

1. A display device comprising:

a switching element having a first input/output terminal electrically connected to a first signal line;

a first wiring electrically connected to a second input/output terminal of the switching element;

a transistor having a gate electrode electrically connected to the first wiring;
