Patent ID: 6956633

Claim:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: an insulation substrate; scanning lines formed on the insulation substrate; signal lines extending in a direction intersecting a direction in which the scanning lines extend; switching devices provided in the vicinity of each intersection of the scanning and signal lines such that the switching devices are arrayed in a matrix form; an interlaminar insulation film disposed on or above the scanning lines, the signal lines, and the switching devices; pixel electrodes formed on the interlaminar insulation film and arranged in a matrix form, each electrode being connected to an output terminal of an associated switching device, wherein only a part of each of opposite side portions of one pixel electrode widthwise covers two signal lines extending adjacent to the pixel electrode; and wherein each signal line is bent twice between two adjacent scanning lines such that two generally parallel but longitudinally displaced parts are formed, and these two parts are covered by opposed side portions of two adjacent pixel electrodes, respectively.
