Patent ID: 8363191

Claim:
An active matrix substrate comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix including a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns arranged to define a display panel; a plurality of first signal lines arranged along a row direction in the matrix; and a plurality of second signal lines arranged along a column direction in the matrix so as to intersect the first signal lines; wherein in the plurality of pixels, a total number of the pixels provided along at least one row and a total number of the pixels provided along the other rows of the plurality of rows are different from each other and a total number of the pixels provided along at least one column and a total number of the pixels provided along the other columns of the plurality of columns are different from each other, so as to correspond to a display region of the display panel that has a shape other than a rectangular shape; at least one of the plurality of first signal lines that is arranged along a row with a smaller number of the pixels than other rows among the plurality of first signal lines and/or at least one of the plurality of second signal lines that is arranged along a column with a smaller number of the pixels than other columns among the plurality of second signal lines is arranged to extend in a direction away from a driver connected to an input end of the at least one of the plurality of first signal lines and/or the at least one of the plurality of second signal lines; and the at least one of the plurality of first signal lines that is arranged along the row with the smaller number of the pixels than the other rows among the plurality of first signal lines and at least one of the plurality of second signals line that is arranged along the column with the smaller number of the pixels than the other columns among the plurality of second signal lines are arranged to intersect with each other, in a region other than the display region, at an end thereof that is opposite to the input end connected to the driver.
