Abstract:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display having a plurality of active elements, which are provided with a pair of substrates, at least one of which is transparent, and a liquid crystal layer pinched between said pair of substrates,one of said pair of substrateshaving a pixel electrode and a common electrode which are arranged at different phases by extending an electric field actually parallel to said substrate surface in the same direction as a signal electrode on said substrate in order to apply it to said liquid crystal layer, said pixel electrode having a first connecting portion which extends in a scanning electrode direction and to which at least two pixel electrodes are connected, said common electrode having a second connecting portion which extends in the scanning electrode direction and to which a plurality of common electrodes are connected, said first connecting portion and said second connecting portion being superimposed on each other to form a capacity formation portion,said liquid crystal display being constituted such that there arises a correlation between variations in said active element dimension and finish dimension of said capacity formation portion, and variations in finish dimension of said pixel electrode or said common electrode.
