Abstract:
1. An active matrix substrate comprising: a plurality of scanning signal lines; a plurality of signal wires disposed in such a way as to intersect with the scanning signal lines; a pixel section constituted by pixel electrode sections each provided in correspondence with a combination of each of the scanning signal lines and each of the signal wires, the pixel section having an alignment control space section that controls a state of alignment of liquid crystal molecules; a switching element that switches a signal wire as one of the signal wires and a pixel electrode section as one of the pixel electrode sections into a conducting state or a non-conducting state in accordance with a scanning signal supplied from a scanning signal line as one of the scanning signal lines; and a metal wire, connected to the switching element, through which when the switching element is in a conducting state, a data signal from the signal wire is supplied to the pixel electrode section, in a region of intersection between the alignment control space section and the scanning signal line, a metal layer being provided between a layer of the pixel section and a layer of the scanning signal line in such a way as to cover at least the scanning signal line.
