A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display device includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode made with a transparent conductive film formed on different layers on a first substrate via an insulating film. Each pixel is divided into a first region and a second region. In the first region, the pixel electrode and the common electrode formed linearly substantially in parallel to each other rotate liquid crystal molecules in the region by a lateral electric field applied between the both electrodes. In the second region, at least the electrode on a lower layer side out of the pixel electrode and the common electrode is in a plan shape, and a part where the pixel electrode and the common electrode overlap with each other forms a storage capacitance.
