Abstract: In a provided LCD device, a common electrode and a picture element electrode which make up the main portion of a unit picture element of the LCD device are both made up of one thin conductive layer made of a Cr layer, while a common electrode wiring line and a data line or a like which are connected to the common electrode and the picture element electrode respectively are each formed as a stacked film made up of a first conductive film (thick Cr layer) and a second conductive film (thin Cr layer). This configuration enables increasing the film thickness of wiring lines such as, especially, the common electrode wiring line and the data line or the like, thus decreasing a wiring line resistance thereof.

Abstract: In a lateral electric field liquid crystal display device, a major electrode portion for generating a lateral electric field is formed using a layer different from a layer on which other electrodes and lines are formed. In this case, the major portion is formed to have a thickness of {fraction (1/20)} to ? of the thickness of each of the other electrodes and lines. Thus, flatness of a base film of an alignment layer is significantly improved, also alignment layer material can be coated and formed with high flatness on the base film, and rubbing of the alignment layer material can be performed uniformly for the overall substrate surface.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus has a pair of substrates opposing to each other and a liquid crystals sandwiched between the pair of substrates. One side of substrate is provided with gate lines and signal lines which approximately cross each other. TFTs are provided close to intersection portion of the gate line and the signal line. Pixel electrodes and common electrodes are provided at each pixel enclosed by the gate line and the signal line. Each of pixel electrodes and common electrodes has bent points more than one and is alternately formed in parallel with each other. Both the pixel electrode and the common electrode are made up of bent sections and projected sections projecting toward concave sections of opposite electrodes from convex side top sections of the bent sections.

Abstract: In a lateral electric field liquid crystal display device, a major electrode portion for generating a lateral electric field is formed using a layer different from a layer on which other electrodes and lines are formed. In this case, the major portion is formed to have a thickness of {fraction (1/20)} to ⅓ of the thickness of each of the other electrodes and lines. Thus, flatness of a base film of an alignment layer is significantly improved, also alignment layer material can be coated and formed with high flatness on the base film, and rubbing of the alignment layer material can be performed uniformly for the overall substrate surface.

Abstract: An in-plane switching mode LCD panel has a plurality of scanning lines each supplied with a scanning signal at both ends of the each of scanning lines. A common terminal connected to the common electrode for the pixels and a block of scanning terminals to form a terminal block for achieving a uniform driving voltage among the pixels, thereby preventing cross-talk between the pixels and a achieving a uniform driving voltage among the pixels.
