1. A display device, comprising:

  • a plurality of pixel regions, each of which is defined by a region surrounded by a gate signal line and a video signal line;

    a common electrode which is formed in each pixel region and has a rectangle shape, the common electrode being formed in the same layer with the gate signal line and formed by transparent material;

    a pixel electrode which is overlapped to the common electrode and has a plurality of slits, the pixel electrode being formed by transparent material;

    a common signal line which is formed in parallel with the gate signal line, and is connected with the common electrode; and

    a bridge line which is adjoined and formed so as to be in parallel to the video signal line and intersect the gate signal line,wherein the bridge line connects two common electrodes each located on each side of the gate signal line, the bridge line is formed in a different layer from said two common electrodes, the bridge line is arranged across the gate signal line and is connected with each of said two common electrodes through a through hole, the bridge line is formed one by one to every two or more pixel regions,wherein a connection portion is arranged between the bridge line and the common electrode in the position of the through hole, the connection portion being formed by metal material, the connecting portion having a shape in which a corner portion thereof on the pixel electrode side is cut, andwherein a direction of slits formed in an upper region of each pixel region is different from a direction of slits formed in a lower region of each pixel region,each slit has an inclination which is not parallel to the gate signal line and the video signal line, and inclination of the slits in the upper region and the inclination of the slits in the lower region are symmetrically formed so as to converge to a center of each pixel region.
