Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device having a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates. One of the pair of substrates includes a plurality of scanning electrodes, a plurality of signal electrodes, a plurality of thin film transistors arranged in the vicinity of crossing points of the scanning electrodes and the signal electrodes, a plurality of common electrodes, and a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged between each of the common electrodes. The other of the pair of substrates has color filters, an insulating film for flattening the color filters directly arranged on the color filters, and an orientation control film arranged on the insulating film.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A liquid crystal display device comprising: 
 a pair of substrates;    a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates;    wherein one of said pair of substrates comprises:    a plurality of scanning electrodes;    a plurality of.signal electrodes arranged so as to cross said plurality of scanning electrodes;    a plurality of thin film transistors arranged in the vicinity of crossing points of said scanning electrodes and said signal electrodes, a plurality of common electrodes, and a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged between each of said common electrodes;    wherein an electric field is formed in said liquid crystal layer by applying a voltage to said pixel electrodes and said plurality of common electrodes; and    the other substrate of said pair of substrates comprises:    color filters,    an insulating film for flattening said color filters arranged on said color filters, and    an orientation control film arranged on said insulating film,    wherein said orientation control film is arranged directly onto said insulating film.    
     
     
         2 . A liquid crystal display device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein all electrodes of said liquid crystal display device are arranged onto said one of said pair of substrates.
