Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:a plurality of gate lines;a plurality of drain lines; anda plurality of pixels each including a liquid crystal cell having a pixel electrode connected to a storage capacitor and a switching element connected between said liquid crystal cell and one of said drain lines, a gate of said switching element being connected to one of said gate lines,capacitances of the storage capacitors of adjacent pixels of the same gate line are changed with respect to a change in distance between the input end of a corresponding one of the gate lines and the corresponding pixel of the adjacent pixels;wherein said storage capacitor is formed by said pixel electrode, another gate line adjacent to said gate line and an insulating layer therebetween,an overlapped area of said pixel electrode and said another gate line being reduced by reducing an area of said pixel electrode as said distance is increased.
