Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a pair of substrates which face each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
• a plurality of gate signal lines and a plurality of drain signal lines;
• a plurality of pixel regions which are defined by the gate signal lines and the drain signal lines;
• a counter electrode which is formed on each pixel region, the counter electrode being planar and having a substantially rectangular shape;
• a pixel electrode having a plurality of slits which is formed in overlapping relationship with the counter electrode;
• a counter voltage signal line which is formed in parallel with the gate signal lines and is connected with the counter electrode;
• a first contact hole for connecting the pixel electrode and a source electrode;
• a connection line for connecting the counter electrode and the counter electrode of a next pixel region;
• a second contact hole for connecting the counter electrode and the connection line;
• and
• a third contact hole for connecting the counter electrode of the next pixel region and the connection line;
• wherein the counter electrode is not overlapped with the first contact hole.
