Abstract:
An active matrix liquid crystal display device comprising a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines which are disposed in a matrix to form combinations of one of said plurality of scanning lines and of one of said plurality of signal lines, said device further including a single switching element and a pixel electrode corresponding to each of said combinations of a first scanning line and a signal line; wherein said first scanning line corresponding to each of said pixel electrodes is located on both upper and lower sides of said pixel electrode, said switching element is provided on a single side of said first scanning line of each pixel, and an additive capacitance is formed between said pixel electrode and a second scanning line, said second scanning line being a scanning line other than said first scanning line in the combinations corresponding to said pixel electrode; and wherein a scanning line on which the additive capacitance is formed between said second scanning line and said pixel electrode associated with said first scanning line differs in subsequent scanning lines relative to said signal line.
