Abstract
A liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix shape and a voltage signal waveform is applied to change the optical transmissivity or optical reflectivity of the pixels. A liquid crystal composition layer is disposed between a first substrate and a second substrate. At least one pair of pixel electrodes and counter electrodes are provided for each pixel between a face of the first substrate and a face of the liquid crystal composition layer and an electric field which is generated between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode and which has a component substantially parallel to the face of the first substrate. For each pixel, there are provided a video signal line, a drain electrode, a gate signal line, a gate electrode, a counter voltage signal line, a thin film transistor element, and a capacity element. A counter voltage signal is applied through the counter voltage signal line to the counter electrode. A common bus line which includes a conductive layer having a multi-layered structure, is provided for connecting the counter voltage signal lines of the plural pixels commonly and the counter voltage signal lines are individually le…
