Abstract: A CF substrate (2) is designed such that at an area of a black matrix (22) that is closer to a TFT substrate (1), a counter electrode (24) does not cover at least a part of a first area that faces source lines (13). Consequently, even when a foreign matter (13a) attaches to the source line (13), it is possible to prevent the foreign matter (13a) from contacting the counter electrode (24). This allows realizing a display panel and a display device in which electric leakage between a line electrode and a counter electrode is prevented even when a foreign matter attaches to a line electrode and a counter electrode.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a TFT substrate, in which method a data signal line is separated into upper and lower regions at a separating point(Q) that is not around above a scan signal line but in a region where an i-layer and an n+ layer formed on a gate insulating film are removed away in a flattened region of a gate insulating film.

Abstract: In a pixel (1), an oblique part of a capacitor line (Cs) includes a plurality of capacitor electrodes (2a) and a plurality of capacitor electrodes (2b), and the capacitor electrodes (2b) are provided between adjacent capacitor electrodes (2a). An insulating layer including an insulating film (6) is formed on the capacitor electrode (2b), and a pixel electrode (7) is further formed on the insulating layer. A voltage is applied across a liquid crystal between the capacitor electrode (2a) and the pixel electrode (7) so that a storage capacitance is formed which is defined by the capacitor electrode (2b) and the pixel electrode (7). By means of this, it is possible to achieve a TFT substrate, whose producing processes are simplified, for use in a liquid crystal display device in which electric field concentrating patterns of electrodes, via which a voltage is applied across a liquid crystal, are alternately provided at different heights in a thickness direction of a liquid crystal layer.
