Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:a first substrate; a display section formed on said first substrate and including a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix pattern, a plurality of scan lines extending in a row direction and a plurality of signal lines extending in a column direction, wherein one pixel is connected at each cross point between the scan and signal lines and each pixel includes a semiconductor active element and a pixel electrode; a first peripheral circuit disposed outside said display section at opposite end portions of said first substrate in the row direction and including a scan line driver circuit including semiconductor active elements for driving the scan lines; a second peripheral circuit disposed outside said display section at opposite end portions of said first substrate in the column direction and including a signal line driver circuit including semiconductor active elements for driving the signal lines; a transparent second substrate disposed opposing said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first and second substrates; and an insulating light shielding film formed on an inner surface of said second substrate and covering at least a partial area of said second peripheral circuit.
