Patent ID: 7576721

Claim:
A display device substrate, comprising: one or more pixel electrodes each of which is provided on each intersection of a signal line and a scanning line that are provided on an insulating substrate; and an interlayer insulating film stacked between the signal line and the pixel electrode, wherein the display device substrate is for a normally black mode, and in view of a vertical direction with respect to a surface of the insulating substrate, the signal line is provided on an area on which the pixel electrode is not provided, and a gap is provided between the signal line and the pixel electrode, and a light shielding film is not provided in a gap between the pixel electrodes which are adjacent to each other with the signal line therebetween; in view of the vertical direction with respect to the surface of the insulating substrate, the insulation substrate, the scanning line, a gate insulating film, the signal line, the interlayer insulating film, the pixel electrode are provide in this order; and wherein the gap includes an area in which no voltage is applied to a region between the pixel electrode and the signal line.
