Liquid Crystal Display Device

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
• the first substrate having a plurality of drain signal lines and a plurality of gate signal lines;
• and
• a plurality of pixel regions defined by the drain signal lines and the gate signal lines;
• wherein the pixel regions include:
• a first electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having a plurality of linear shapes;
• a second electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having a planer shape, the second electrode being overlapped with the first electrode through an insulation film;
• a thin film transistor having a video signal supplied thereto from the drain signal line;
• the first electrode being connected with the thin film transistor and having an electric potential of the video signal supplied thereto through the thin film transistor, and a standard electric potential being supplied to the second electrode;
• and
• a third electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer arranged between the drain signal line and the liquid crystal layer, the third electrode being isolated with the first electrode electrically.
