Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid-crystal display device in which a pixel defect does not occur even when an electrode becomes disconnected. The liquid-crystal display device according to the present invention comprises a liquid crystal layer and a pair of substrates between which the liquid crystal layer is interposed. At least one of the pair of substrates includes an electrode that applies a voltage to the liquid crystal layer. The electrode that applies the voltage to the liquid crystal layer includes two or more linear portions. The substrate comprising the electrode that applies the voltage to the liquid crystal layer, from among the pair of substrates, includes a floating electrode that overlaps at least two of the two or more linear portions via an insulating film.
