A liquid crystal display device having first and second substrates with a liquid crystal layer therebetween, a plurality of gate signal lines made of metal and a plurality of drain signal lines made of metal, a plurality of counter voltage signal lines, a plurality of pixel regions defined by neighboring gate signal lines and drain signal lines and a pixel electrode formed on first substrate in each pixel region. The pixel electrode and the counter voltage signal lines have an overlapping region, and an edge of the pixel electrode which extends in parallel to the drain signal line shifts to inside of the pixel region at the overlapping region as compared to the edge of the pixel electrode at a non-overlapping region.
