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 (33)

1 . A display device comprising:

a first glass substrate;

a first insulating film disposed above the first glass substrate;

an alignment film disposed above the first insulating film;

a common electrode provided between the first insulating film and the alignment film;

a first thin-film transistor connected to a first pixel electrode in the display area;

a second thin-film transistor connected to a second pixel electrode in the display area;

a metal wire; and

a light-shielding layer, wherein

each of the first thin-film transistor and the second thin-film transistor is provided between the first glass substrate and the first insulating film,

the second thin-film transistor is located next to the first thin-film transistor in a first direction,

the metal wire is provided between the first glass substrate and the first insulating film, and includes a first portion and a second portion,

the second portion has a width which is greater than a width of the first portion,

the second portion is located between the first thin-film transistor and the second thin-film transistor in the first direction in a plan view,

the common electrode contacts the second portion via a through hole formed in the first insulating film,

a first metal electrode is positioned between the through hole and the first glass substrate,

a second metal electrode is positioned between the through hole and the first glass substrate, and

the second portion is spaced apart from the first metal electrode and the second metal electrode in a plan view and overlaps the light-shielding layer having a first width greater than a second width of another portion of the light-shielding layer.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the through hole is located between the first thin-film transistor and the second thin-film transistor in the first direction in the plan view.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the common electrode overlaps the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode,

the 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 first opening overlaps the first thin-film transistor,

the second opening overlaps the second thin-film transistor,

the bridge portion is located between the first thin-film transistor and the second thin-film transistor in the first direction in the plan view, and

the bridge portion contacts the second portion via the through hole.

4 . The display device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a signal line extending parallel to the metal wire, wherein

the signal line is connected to the second thin-film transistor, and

the signal line is provided between the first glass substrate and the first insulating film.

5 . The display device of claim 4 , wherein

a width of the second portion is greater than a width of the signal line.
