Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate opposing the first substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein
• the first substrate comprises a scanning line extending in a first direction, a signal line extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a plurality of pixel electrodes including a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode, a common electrode including a first common electrode disposed between the plurality of pixel electrodes and the liquid crystal layer and a second common electrode disposed below the plurality of pixel electrodes, and a metal layer having a same potential as that of the common electrode,
• the first common electrode includes a plurality of sub-electrodes that are separated from each other,
• the metal layer is disposed on the plurality of sub-electrodes and connects the plurality of sub-electrodes to each other,
• gaps are provided respectively between the plurality of sub-electrodes,
• the gaps overlap the plurality of pixel electrodes, respectively, and
• the metal layer overlaps an area between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode in plan view.
