Claim 0:
1. A liquid crystal panel, comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate;
a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
an active region in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed, each of the plurality of pixels including
the liquid crystal layer, and
a pixel electrode and a common electrode for applying voltage to the liquid crystal layer;

a frame region on a periphery of the active region;
a plurality of signal lines, each of which being electrically connected to a pixel electrode of a corresponding pixel out of the plurality of pixels; and
a plurality of auxiliary electrodes, wherein
the liquid crystal panel is a normally-black mode liquid crystal panel that is configured to apply signal voltage corresponding to the plurality of signal lines at substantially a same timing,
the plurality of pixels are arrayed in substantial tessellation in the active region, as viewed from a direction of normal of the first substrate,
each of the auxiliary electrodes has a portion that overlaps a gap between two pixels that are adjacent to each other, as viewed from the direction of the normal of the first substrate,
a plurality of pixel electrodes, each of which being the pixel electrode for applying voltage to the liquid crystal layer, the common electrode, the plurality of auxiliary electrodes, and portions of the plurality of signal lines that are present in the active region are made of a transparent electroconductive material, and
each of the plurality of auxiliary electrodes is electrically connected to one of two pixel electrodes of the two pixels.
