Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising;a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines, said plurality of scanning lines and said plurality of signal lines being disposed on an insulating substrate such that said plurality of scanning lines intersect with said plurality of signal lines on the insulating substrate to form intersections;a plurality of switching devices, one of said plurality of switching devices being disposed at each of the intersections of said plurality of scanning lines and said plurality of signal lines;a plurality of display pixel electrodes, one of said plurality of display pixel electrodes being electrically connected to each of said plurality of switching devices;an opposite electrode disposed opposite to said plurality of display pixel electrodes through a liquid crystal layer;a plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines, one of said plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines being disposed in each space between a pair of adjacent display pixel electrodes corresponding to different scanning lines and capacitively coupled with said pair of said display pixel electrodes to form a plurality of auxiliary capacitors;wherein one of said plurality of display pixel electrodes is capacitively coupled with two of said plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines adjacent to each other,wherein two of said auxiliary capacitor lines overlap with opposite edges of one of said plurality of display pixel electrodes; andwherein one of said plurality of scanning lines is disposed between two of said plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines adjacent to each other.
