The liquid crystal display device includes a first electrode formed over an entire surface of one side of a substrate; a first insulating film formed over the first electrode; a thin film transistor formed over the first insulating film; a second insulating film formed over the thin film transistor; a second electrode formed over the second insulating film and having a plurality of openings; and a liquid crystal over the second electrode. The liquid crystal is controlled by an electric field between the first electrode and the second electrode. | 2014-10-23 |
20140313446 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A display device having fewer alignment defects is provided. A display device having a high aperture ratio and including a capacitor with increased charge capacity is provided. A display device having a high aperture ratio, including a capacitor with large charge capacity, and having fewer alignment defects is provided. The display device includes a pixel electrode, a transistor including a light-transmitting semiconductor layer connected to the pixel electrode, and a capacitor, a scan line, and a data line connected to the transistor. The transistor is arranged to overlap with the scan line. One of electrodes of the capacitor is formed on the same surface where the semiconductor layer is formed, and is formed in a region divided by the scan lines and the data lines. The other of the electrodes of the capacitor is a pixel electrode. The pixel electrode extends so as to intersect with the scan line. | 2014-10-23 |
