Patent ID: 7202929

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device in which each pixel region formed over a liquid crystal side of one substrate out of respective substrates which are arranged to face each other with liquid crystal therebetween includes a pixel electrode to which a video signal is supplied from a drain signal line through a switching element driven in response to a scanning signal from a gate signal line and a capacitive element which is formed between the pixel electrode and a capacitive signal line by way of a dielectric film, wherein the pixel region is divided into a plurality of sections, each section includes a part of the pixel electrode, the respective part of the pixel electrode in the respective section and the switching element are connected to each other through a connection path which is connected to the switching element and has a plurality of branched paths, and the connecting path is arranged in an area between the gate signal line and the capacitive signal line of the pixel region in a plan view, and the area is arranged under a black matrix.
