Claims
- 1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a pair of substrates:
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates;
- a video signal line and scanning signal line formed on one of said pair of substrates and crossing each other in a matrix form;
- a plurality of pixels formed by adjoining said video signal lines and said scanning signal lines; and
- a pixel electrode and counter electrode arranged in said plurality of pixels, respectively;
- wherein a transparent electrically conductive layer is formed over one of said pair of substrates at a viewed side of said liquid crystal display device which is opposite to the liquid crystal layer side; and
- wherein said counter electrode is adjacent to said video signal line.
- 2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein said counter electrode is supplying a counter voltage from an external unit through a counter voltage signal line.
- 3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix form.
- 4. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein a semiconductor switching element is formed proximate to a cross point of said video signal line and said scanning signal line.
- 5. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein said pixels have a relationship of O=P+1 with P being the number of pixel electrodes and O being the number counter electrodes.
- 6. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein a width of said video signal line is larger than a width of said counter electrode.
- 7. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1, wherein a width of said video signal line is larger than a width of said pixel electrode.
