The invention relates to a liquid crystal display device used for a display unit of electronic equipment, and an object is to provide a liquid crystal display of a high quality without shading in the display that is caused by deviation in the positions of patterns. Compensation electrodes are formed on the regions across which the data bus lines and the pixel electrodes are opposed to each other, the compensation electrodes being formed simultaneously with the data bus lines by using the same exposing mask. The compensation electrodes are electrically connected to the pixel electrode through the contact holes, and assumes the same potential as the one applied to the pixel electrode.
