Abstract:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus:an insulation substrate; scanning lines formed on the insulation substrate; auxiliary capacitor lines arranged parallel to the scanning lines; signal lines extending in a direction intersecting a direction in which the scanning lines extend; switching devices provided in the vicinity of each intersection of the scanning and signal lines such that the switching devices are arrayed in a matrix form; an interlaminar insulation film disposed on or above the scanning lines, auxiliary capacitor lines, the signal lines, and the switching devices; and pixel electrodes formed on the interlaminar insulation film and arranged in a matrix form, each electrode being connected to an output terminal of the associated switching device, wherein each signal line is bent twice between two adjacent scanning lines such that two generally parallel but longitudinally displaced parts are formed, and these two parts are covered by opposed side portions of two adjacent pixel electrodes, and wherein the auxiliary capacitor line is located in a position corresponding to the portion between the two bends of the signal line.
