Abstract

In a liquid crystal display device, an upper electrode and a drain electrode are reliably connected to each other electrically, with preventing or suppressing an occurrence of an aperture ratio loss, or sufficiently reducing a parasitic capacitance between the scanning line and the lower electrode. An interlayer resin film is formed on a drain electrode, with a hole being formed on the interlayer resin film, and on the drain electrode exposed to a bottom portion of the hole, an island-shaped electrode is formed separately from a lower electrode. Moreover, on the island-shaped electrode, an inter-electrode insulating film is formed, a contact hole is formed in the inter-electrode insulating film, and an upper electrode is formed on the island-shaped electrode exposed to a bottom portion of the contact hole.

Claims (26)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate that is disposed so as to be opposed to the first substrate;

a gate wiring provided on the first substrate along a first direction;

a source wiring provided along a second direction intersecting with the first direction;

a thin-film transistor provided at an intersection between the gate wiring and the source wiring;

an organic insulating film formed on the thin-film transistor;

a first opening that penetrates the organic insulating film;

an island-shaped electrode that covers at least a part of an edge portion of a side surface portion and a bottom portion of the first opening;

a common electrode formed on the organic insulating film and disposed so as to surround the first opening;

an inorganic insulating film that covers the common electrode and the island-shaped electrode;

a second opening that penetrates the inorganic insulating film; and

a pixel electrode formed on the inorganic insulating film and electrically connected to the island-shaped electrode through the second opening,

wherein a center of a bottom portion of the second opening is located at a position shifted from a center of a bottom portion of the first opening in the direction of the source wiring.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an edge portion of the bottom portion of the first opening is covered by the inorganic insulating film.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the edge portion of the bottom portion of the first opening includes a portion covered by the inorganic insulating film and a portion covered by the island-shaped electrode.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the second opening is present within the bottom portion of the first opening.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the second opening is formed from the bottom portion of the first opening over the edge portion of the bottom portion to reach the side surface portion of the first opening.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the island-shaped electrode and the common electrode are made of the same material.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the island-shaped electrode and the common electrode are made of the same material.
