Abstract:
An array substrate for a liquid crystal display element, comprising:a substrate; a plurality of scanning signal lines and opposite signal lines arranged in parallel with each other, on the substrate; a plurality of display signal lines arranged in parallel with each other on the scanning signal lines and the opposite signal lines, with an insulating film interposed therebetween, the display signal lines extending in a direction crossing the scanning signal lines and opposite signal line; and a plurality of pixel regions defined by regions surrounded by the scanning signal lines and display signal lines, respectively; each of the pixel regions including an elongated first electrode having an end which is layered over one of the opposite signal lines so as to constitute a supplemental capacity and another end electrically connected to a crossing portion between one of the scanning signal lines and one of the display signal lines, through a switching element, a second electrode extending substantially in parallel with the first electrode and electrically connected to the opposite signal line, and a third electrode which is overlapped with the second electrode with the insulating layer interposed therebetween, so as to constitute another supplemental capacity and electrically connected to the first electrode, the first and second electrodes being formed by processing one same conductive layer.
