Liquid crystal device utilizing electric field parallel to substrate

摘要

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate with a gap therebetween, a thin film transistor formed over the first substrate, an interlayer insulating film formed over the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor, at least one common electrode formed over the interlayer insulating film such that an electric field in parallel with the first substrate is produced by the common electrode and the pixel electrode, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate.
