Patent ID: 8681080

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of data signal lines; a plurality of scanning signal lines that cross the plurality of data signal lines; a plurality of auxiliary capacitance lines that extend in parallel with the scanning signal lines; a plurality of pixels each including a switching element that turns to an ON state when the scanning signal line is in a selected state and that turns to an OFF state when the scanning signal line is in a non-selected state, and a pixel electrode connected to the data signal line through the switching element, the plurality of pixels being arranged in a matrix so as to correspond to respective intersections of the plurality of data signal lines and the plurality of scanning signal lines; a common electrode disposed so as to face the pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, wherein the pixel electrode for a first pixel among the plurality of pixels is disposed in a second pixel that is adjacent to the first pixel, so that the scanning signal line disposed in the first pixel and said pixel electrode for the first pixel are arranged apart from each other so as not to overlap in a plan view, and wherein a relationship represented by d 1 >d 2 is satisfied, where d 1 is a distance between the scanning signal line disposed in the first pixel and the pixel electrode disposed in the second pixel, and d 2 is a distance between said scanning signal line disposed in the first pixel and the pixel electrode disposed in the first pixel.
