Display device

A display device comprising:

• an array substrate;
• a counter substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the counter substrate,
• wherein the array substrate comprises, in a display region:
• a plurality of signal lines arranged at intervals in a first direction;
• a plurality of scan lines arranged at intervals in a second direction;
• a grid-shaped organic insulating layer that is provided along the scan lines and the signal lines in the array substrate and covers over the scan lines and the signal lines;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes each provided in a region surrounded by the scan lines and the signal lines;
• and
• a first orientation film that covers the pixel electrodes,
• wherein a portion of each of the pixel electrodes is provided above a slant surface of the organic insulating layer and overlaps the slant surface,
• wherein the counter substrate comprises:
• a common electrode located at a location that overlaps at least the pixel electrodes;
• an insulating protective film that covers the array substrate side of the common electrode that overlaps at least a portion of the organic insulating layer;
• and
• a second orientation film that covers the protective film and the common electrode, and
• wherein a region overlapping an opening surrounded by the scan lines and the signal lines has a non-overlapping region of the protective film where the common electrode and the second orientation film are directly stacked without interposing the protective film between the common electrode and the second orientation film.
