Abstract:
1. An active matrix liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate including a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a molecular axis of the liquid crystal layer is rotatable in a plane parallel to the first substrate by the electric field between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, a display area where the pixel electrode and the common electrode are formed in parallel to each other, the pixel electrode overlaps with the common signal wiring line at an end of the pixel electrode, in a region where the pixel electrode overlaps with the common signal wiring line, at one side of the pixel electrode, a width of the pixel electrode is increased, so as to face the common electrode with a narrower electrode spacing in order to prevent a reverse rotation of the molecular axis of the liquid crystal layer, and the pixel electrode edge, which is along a boundary between the pixel electrode with increased width and the display area, is parallel to the common signal wiring line edge which is along a boundary between the common signal wiring line and the display area.
