Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• an array substrate;
• an opposing substrate facing the array substrate;
• and
• liquid crystal held between the array substrate and the opposing substrate,
• wherein the array substrate is provided with:
• a plurality of gate wirings and a plurality of source wirings intersecting each other;
• a pixel electrode disposed in a region defined by two adjacent gate wirings and two adjacent source wirings;
• a switching element for switching a voltage applied to the pixel electrode from the source wiring based on a signal volume fed from the gate wiring;
• a common wiring formed between the two adjacent gate wirings;
• a common electrode being electrically connected to the common wiring and generating an electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrode creating a voltage for driving the liquid crystal;
• and
• a storage capacity electrode electrically connected to the common wiring,
• wherein the pixel electrode and the storage capacity electrode are layered so as to hold at least some part of the common wiring in between through an insulating layer.
