The flattening filmcovers the switching elements, and first contact holes CHthat pass through the flattening filmare formed at positions that overlap with the lineswhen viewed in a plan view. The pixel electrodesand the counter electrodesare arranged so that each of the same partially covers the flattening film. The lineand the counter electrodeare connected with each other in the first contact hole CH
