Liquid crystal display device

An active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first and a second substrate with a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
• a plurality of drain lines and gate lines formed on the first substrate and crossing each other in a matrix form;
• a plurality of counter signal lines formed on the first substrate and extending along an extension direction of the gate lines;
• a plurality of pixels delimited by adjacent ones of the drain lines and the gate lines;
• wherein a counter electrode is connected with the counter signal line in the pixel, the counter signal line connecting counter electrodes of neighboring pixels which are arranged with a drain line therebetween by crossing the drain line, and counter electrodes of neighboring pixels which arranged with a gate line therebetween are electrically connected by a connecting member, and the connecting member is arranged so as to be spaced with respect to the drain line in plane view.
