Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other with liquid crystal therebetween, the first substrate having a plurality of drain signal lines and a plurality of gate signal lines;
• and
• a plurality of pixel areas defined by the drain signal lines and the gate signal lines, the pixel areas having:
• a first electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer having a plurality of slits;
• a second electrode formed of a transparent conducting layer between the first electrode and the first substrate, the second electrode being formed in a planar shape without slits in the pixel areas;
• and
• two different kinds of insulating layers including a first inorganic insulating layer and a second organic insulating layer being formed between a layer of the drain signal lines and the layer of the first electrode.
