Abstract:
A thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal-display (TFT-LCD) device comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in an array and each including a TFT and an associated pixel electrode made of a transparent material, a plurality of scanning lines each disposed for a row of said pixels for activating said TFTs in said pixels arranged in the corresponding row, a plurality of data lines each disposed for a column of said pixels for supplying data signals via said TFTs to said pixel electrodes in said pixels arranged in the corresponding column, wherein each of said pixels further includes a shield member made of a conductive material, electrically connected to said pixel electrode and extending along an entirety of a periphery of said pixel electrode, andfurther comprising a plurality of common lines each extending parallel to and adjacent to one of said scanning lines, each of said common lines having an increased width projection, wherein each of said common lines crosses said pixels arranged in a corresponding row at central portions of said pixels, said central portions being centrally located between adjacent ones of said plurality of scanning lines.
