Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first drain electrode, a first insulating film which is organic, a first metal electrode in contact with the first drain electrode in a first through-hole of the first insulating film, a second insulating film which is organic, a first transparent electrode in contact with the first metal electrode in a second through-hole of the second insulating film and formed of a transparent conductive material, a third insulating film which is inorganic, a pixel electrode in contact with the first transparent electrode in a third through-hole of the third insulating film and a metal wire located between the first insulating film and the second insulating film and formed of a material identical to that of the first metal electrode.

Claims (57)

1. A display device comprising:

a first signal line;

a first insulating film having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface;

a plurality of common electrodes arranged in a matrix in a display area; and

a metal wire extending parallel to the first signal line, wherein

the plurality of common electrodes is arranged on a side of the first surface,

the metal wire is arranged on a side of the second surface,

a first common electrode is one of the plurality of common electrodes,

the first common electrode has a first opening, a second opening adjacent to the first opening, and a bridge portion between the first opening and the second opening,

the metal wire has a line portion and a pedestal portion,

the pedestal portion has a width greater than a width of the line portion,

the pedestal portion is located between the first opening and the second opening, and

the bridge portion contacts the pedestal portion via a first hole formed in the first insulating film.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

a width of the first hole is smaller than the width of the pedestal portion, and

an edge of the pedestal portion is covered by the second surface of the first insulating film.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the metal wire overlaps the first signal line, and

the width of the pedestal portion is greater than a width of the first signal line.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first insulating film is an organic insulating film.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first common electrode contacts the first surface, and

the metal wire contacts the second surface.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second signal line and a third signal line, wherein

the first signal line is located between the second signal line and the third signal line,

the second signal line extends across the first opening, and

the third signal line extends across the second opening.

7. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first pixel electrode;

a second pixel electrode;

a first drain electrode; and

a second drain electrode, wherein

the first pixel electrode is connected to the first drain electrode through the first opening, and

the second pixel electrode is connected to the second drain electrode through the second opening.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein

each of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode has a base and a plurality of stripe electrodes,

the base of the first pixel electrode overlaps the first opening,

the stripe electrodes of the first pixel electrode overlap the first common electrode,

the base of the second pixel electrode overlaps the second opening,

the stripe electrodes of the second pixel electrode overlap the first common electrode, and

the pedestal portion is located between the base of the first pixel electrode and the base of the second pixel electrode.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the first insulating film has a second hole and a third hole,

the second hole overlaps the first opening,

the third hole overlaps the second opening, and

each of the pedestal portion and the first hole is located between the second hole and the third hole.

10. The display device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a light-shielding layer, wherein

the light-shielding layer includes a first portion extending in a first direction and a second portion extending in a second direction crossing the first direction,

the second portion extends parallel to the metal wire and the first signal line,

each of the metal wire and the first signal line overlaps the second portion, and

each of the first opening, the pedestal portion, the first hole, and the second opening overlaps the first portion.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein

an entirety of the first hole overlaps the first portion, and

an entirety of the pedestal portion overlaps the first portion.
