Liquid crystal display device having rectangular-shaped pixel electrodes overlapping with comb-shaped counter electrodes in plan view

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate,
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of drain lines formed on the first substrate,
• a plurality of thin film transistor which is connected to the gate lines and the drain lines,
• a pixel electrode having a planar shape, a counter electrode having a plurality of cutout portions,
• a first insulation layer is formed between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, and a second insulation layer is formed between the pixel electrode and the drain lines,
• an orientation film is formed between the counter electrode and the liquid crystal layer,
• the liquid crystal layer is driven by an electric field which is generated by the pixel electrode and the counter electrode,
• wherein a thickness of the first insulation layer is 300 μm or less.
