Patent ID: 7973756

Claim:
A reflection type liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a light transmitting substrate having a light transmitting electrode; a liquid crystal layer; and a semiconductor substrate having pixels, each of which has a switching element, a capacitor and a reflective electrode, and having a signal line connected to the capacitor and the reflective electrode via the switching element and placed above at least a part of the capacitor, the light transmitting electrode facing the reflective electrode to sandwich the liquid crystal layer therebetween, wherein the signal line is formed by a first conductive layer; the capacitor includes a first electrode having a diffusion layer formed in the semiconductor substrate, and a second electrode is formed by a second conductive layer which is an underling layer with respect to the first conductive layer; and a first shield line, to which a fixed potential is supplied, is arranged between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and the first shield line is arranged in a region in which the signal line is arranged above at least a part of the capacitor.
