             Application No. 09/929,488                                                                             



             Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                                       

             1. An active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising:                                     

                 • a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate having a common wiring and a                              

                    source/drain wiring formed on a first substrate, said first substrate                           

                    being provided with an insulating film covering said common wiring                              

                    and said source/drain wiring, said insulating film being coated with a                          

                    first alignment layer;                                                                          

                 • an opposite substrate, opposing to said TFT substrate, having a second                           

                    alignment layer formed on a second substrate;                                                   

                 • a liquid crystal held between said first alignment layer and said second                         

                    alignment layer; and                                                                            

                 • a common electrode and a pixel electrode wired in parallel with each                             

                    other and being formed as parts of said common wiring and said                                  

                    source/drain wiring, respectively, so that an angle made between a                              

                    direction in which said first alignment layer is subjected to an aligning                       

                    treatment and a direction in which said second alignment layer is                               

                    subjected to an aligning treatment is set to a value of 0.5 to 4.0                              

                    degrees, said value providing a setting that concurrently decreases a                           

                    threshold voltage between the pixel electrode and the common                                    

                    electrode required to change a direction of said liquid crystal                                 


                                                         2
