Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a pair of substrates;
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates;
• drain lines and gate lines formed on one of said pair of substrates and crossing each other in a matrix form, wherein a region bounded by a pair of said drain lines and a pair of said gate lines defines a pixel;
• a switching element associated with and disposed relative to each pixel;
• a sheet-like counter electrode comprising a transparent conductive film arranged at each pixel;
• a counter voltage line formed on said counter electrode, said counter voltage line including a multi-layered structure comprising a first molybdenum layer, followed by an aluminum layer or an alloy layer comprising essentially of aluminum, followed by a second molybdenum layer;
• a first insulating layer formed on said counter electrode and said counter voltage line;
• a second insulating layer formed on said first insulating layer;
• and
• a pixel electrode comprising a transparent conductive film that is electrically connected to said switching element,
• wherein said counter voltage line intersects said drain lines through said first insulated film,
• wherein said counter voltage line has a first width where it intersects said drain lines and a second width where it does not intersect said drain lines, said first width being different from said second width.
