Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising: a pair of substrates: and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the substrates, the pair of substrates including a first substrate having a plurality of scanning signal wiring, a plurality of data signal wiring intersecting the scanning signal wiring in a matrix form, and a plurality of thin-film transistors formed on the intersections, the liquid crystal display apparatus being configured such that at least a single pixel is formed in each region surrounded by the plurality of scanning signal wiring and data signal wiring, each pixel includes a common signal electrode, which is connected to a plurality of pixels via common signal wiring, and a pixel electrode connected to the corresponding thin-film transistor, and a voltage applied to the common signal electrode and the pixel electrode generates in the liquid crystal layer an electric field having a parallel component predominantly to the first substrate,wherein the common signal electrode and at least one of the data signal wiring and the scanning signal wiring are partially superimposed onto each other via an interlayer insulating film, the superimposed part forms a capacity, at least one of insulating films included in the interlayer insulating film is selectively formed at least on a part of a region on the pixel electrode at least in the superimposed part of the common signal electrode and at least one of the data signal wiring and the scanning wiring.
