1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a pair of substrates;
a liquid crystal sealed between said pair of substrates;
a plurality of data lines and a plurality of scanning lines, being arranged on one surface of one of said pair of substrates and crossing each other;
a switching element having one end of a current path connected to the corresponding data line and a control end connected to the corresponding scanning line;
a wiring connected to the other end of the current path of said switching element;
an insulating layer, being formed on said wiring and having a contact hole through which an end portion of said wiring is exposed;
a pixel electrode, being formed on said insulating layer and electrically connected to the end portion of said wiring through the contact hole; and
an alignment film, being formed on said pixel electrode and in contact with said liquid crystal, wherein said contact hole is formed at a position overlapping a region where disclination occurs.

Abstract
In an active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising a TFT having gate lines and data lines formed in a matrix manner and being connected to a source line, a contact hole for connecting the source line with a pixel electrode is formed in a position overlapping a disclination line. The contact hole is formed in a position overlapping a capacitance portion of the gate line. The gate line and the source line are provided to oppose to each other, and electrostatic capacitance is stored therebetween.
