Abstract:
An electro-optical apparatus, comprising:a plurality of data lines; a plurality of scanning lines intersecting the plurality of data lines; a plurality of switching elements being disposed in correspondence with intersections of the plurality of data lines and the plurality of scanning lines, one of the plurality of switching elements having a semiconductor layer; a plurality of pixel electrodes being disposed in correspondence with the plurality of switching elements; at least one capacitor line extending along one of the plurality of scanning lines, the at least one capacitor line defining at least one first notch, the scanning lines having at least one second notch opposing the at least one first notch; a contact hole disposed at the at least one first notch and at least one second notch and formed for electrically connecting the semiconductor layer of the one of the plurality of switching elements and one of the plurality of pixel electrodes, the width of the capacitor line being narrower in the notch than the other portion of the capacitor line opposing another capacitor electrode.
