Abstract
An active matrix substrate of the present invention for use in a liquid crystal panel includes a scanning signal line (16x), a data signal line (15x), and a transistor (12a) connected to the scanning signal line (16x) and the data signal line (15x), with first and second pixel electrodes (17a and 17b) provided in each pixel (101), one of the pixel electrodes (17a) being connected to the data signal line (15x) via the transistor (12a). The active matrix substrate includes first and second capacitor electrodes (37a and 38a) electrically connected to the pixel electrode (17a), capacitors being formed between the capacitor electrodes (37a and 38a) and the other pixel electrode (17b), respectively. This makes it possible to improve yields of manufacture of capacitively-coupled pixel-division type active matrix substrates and liquid crystal panels including the same.
