Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates which face each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween, a plurality of gate signal lines and a plurality of drain signal lines, and a plurality of pixel regions which are formed on one substrate. A planar counter electrode which is formed on each pixel region, and a pixel electrode having a plurality of slits is formed in overlapping relation with the counter electrode. A first contact hole is provided for connecting the pixel electrode and a source electrode, and a connection line is provided for connecting the counter electrode of one pixel region and the counter electrode of an adjacent next pixel region. The counter electrode has a notch in the position of the first contact hole.
