Abstract

The structure of the invention is: a pair of a first scanning line and a second scanning line extend in a first direction on the TFT substrate, a first pixel that has a first pixel electrode and a second pixel that as a second pixel electrode are formed between the pairs of the scanning lines, a connection area is formed between the first scanning line and the second scanning line; a first TFT, a first through hole that connects the first TFT with the first pixel electrode, and a second TFT, a second through hole that connects the second TFT with the second pixel electrode are formed in the connection area; the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are formed on an organic passivation film; the organic passivation film is not formed in an area where the first through hole and the second through hole are formed.
