Abstract:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising:a pair of opposed substrates; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between said pair of substrates; one of said pair of substrates comprising (a) plural scanning electrodes, (b) plural image signal electrodes crossing said plural scanning electrodes, (c) plural active elements formed at respective crossing points of said plural scanning electrodes and said plural image signal electrodes, (d) plural pixel electrodes formed on said plural active elements, and (e) plural common electrodes for generating an electric field between said pixel electrodes and common electrodes; wherein a shielding layer is provided between another of said pair of substrates and said plural image signal electrodes at least at a part of an upper region on said plural image signal electrodes, and a specific resistivity of at least a part of said shielding layer is less than 108 &OHgr;.cm; wherein at least said part of said shielding layer is composed of a material having a specific resistivity of less than 108 &OHgr;.cm; and wherein at least said part of said shielding layer composed of said material having a specific resistivity of less than 108 &OHgr;.cm has a width narrower than a width of said image signal electrodes.
