Abstract
A liquid crystal display device is provided in which the aperture ratio can be increased in a pixel including a thin film transistor in which an oxide semiconductor is used. In the liquid crystal display device, the thin film transistor including a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer and an oxide semiconductor layer which are provided so as to overlap with the gate electrode, and a source electrode and a drain electrode which overlap part of the oxide semiconductor layer is provided between a signal line and a pixel electrode which are provided in a pixel portion. The off-current of the thin film transistor is 1×10A or less. A potential can be held only by a liquid crystal capacitor, without a capacitor which is parallel to a liquid crystal element, and a capacitor connected to the pixel electrode is not formed in the pixel portion.
