Patent ID: 7728943

Claim:
An active matrix substrate for a display device comprising: an insulating substrate; a scanning line; a signal line; a switching device provided at an intersection of the scanning line and the signal line and including: a gate electrode connected to the scanning line; a source electrode connected to the signal line; and a drain extracting electrode; a pixel electrode arranged on a display medium layer side of the active matrix substrate, connected to the drain extracting electrode, and including: an electrode slit; and an electrical connecting portion of the electrode slit provided outside of a light-blocking region and overlapping the drain extracting electrode; a storage capacitor wiring provided on the insulating substrate; an interlayer insulation film provided between the storage capacitor wiring and the pixel electrode; capacitance electrodes provided above the storage capacitor wiring; an insulating layer interposed between the capacitance electrodes and the storage capacitor wiring; and contact holes provided in the interlayer insulation film, connected to corresponding ones of the capacitance electrodes, and connecting the drain extracting electrode to the pixel electrode; wherein the electrode slit is provided in the pixel electrode between the contact holes such that the electrode slit straddles the storage capacitor wiring.
