Patent ID: 8593582

Claim:
An active matrix substrate comprising: a gate bus line including a main line, a gate electrode portion of an active element, and a branched portion, the gate electrode portion and the branched portion both independently diverging from the main line on a same side of the main line; and a drain conductive portion including: a first portion extending along a horizontal line in a first direction; a second portion extending along the horizontal line in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and a third portion extending in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the horizontal line and being electrically connected to a pixel electrode; wherein the first portion of the drain conductive portion is arranged on a first side of the third portion of the drain conductive portion and the second portion of the drain conductive portion is arranged on a second side of the third portion of the drain conductive portion such that the third portion of the drain conductive portion divides the first portion of the drain conductive portion and the second portion of the drain conductive portion; the first portion of the drain conductive portion overlaps with the branched portion; and the second portion of the drain conductive portion overlaps with the gate electrode portion.
