Liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising two boards between which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched, one of the boards including:
- a plurality of scanning lines;
a plurality of signal lines disposed so as to intersect the scanning lines;
a plurality of switching elements and a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed in a matrix form in regions surrounded with the scanning lines and the signal lines; and
an auxiliary capacitor electrode formed almost all over a display screen in such a manner that the auxiliary capacitor electrode is opposed to the pixel electrodes, with an insulation film interposed therebetween, a region of the auxiliary capacitor electrode corresponding to a gap between the adjacent pixel electrodes having at least partially been removed.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display apparatus has a plurality of TFTs and pixel electrodes disposed in a matrix form in regions surrounded with scanning lines and signal lines disposed on a glass substrate. The display apparatus also has an auxiliary capacitor electrode formed almost all over a display screen in such a way that the auxiliary capacitor electrode is opposed to the pixel electrodes with interposition of an insulation film therebetween. A slit is formed in the auxiliary capacitor electrode in a region corresponding to a gap between the adjacent pixel electrodes. Each pixel electrode may overlap the scanning lines and/or the signal lines. The width of the slit of the auxiliary capacitor electrode may be larger than the width of the gap between the adjacent pixel electrodes.
