Patent ID: 7834968

Claim:
An optically compensated birefringence mode liquid crystal device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate that is provided opposite to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer that is interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of gate lines that is formed at the liquid-crystal-layer side of the first substrate; a plurality of source lines that is formed at the liquid-crystal-layer side of the first substrate, the plurality of source lines intersecting with the plurality of gate lines in a plan view; a plurality of switching elements that is formed at the liquid-crystal-layer side of the first substrate, the plurality of switching elements being formed at a positions in a one-to-one correspondence with intersections of the gate lines and the source lines; and a plurality of pixel electrodes that is formed at the liquid-crystal-layer side of the first substrate, one of the pixel electrodes being electrically connected to a corresponding one of the switching elements, wherein the one of the pixel electrodes overlaps in a plan view a part of one of the gate lines that is adjacent to the one of the pixel electrodes and/or a part of one of the source lines that is adjacent to the one of the pixel electrodes.
