An image display apparatus comprising an image display device, a shield member, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the shield member in synchronization with display of the image.

Image display apparatus

A pixel substrate has a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of reference signal lines which are arranged parallel with each other. A counter substrate includes a plurality of signal lines. Moreover, the pixel substrate has a connecting line for connecting the plurality of the reference signal lines to each other. The connecting line is provided in each of two regions outside of two sides among the peripheral sides of a region where a plurality of pixel electrodes are formed, the two sides being perpendicular to the reference signal lines. In this structure, a reference signal is input from both ends of the reference signal line. It is therefore possible to provide a liquid crystal display device which reduces the occurrence of a short circuit between the lines on the substrate and decreases the signal delay due to the load capacitance.

Liquid crystal display device and method for producing the same

A liquid crystal display in which a reference signal main line, placed so as to connect reference signal lines to each other, is separated into an input main line and an output main line in an insulating state from each other. Then, a voltage application line from a voltage-application circuit for controlling the voltage of a reference signal is connected to the input main line and a voltage feedback line therefrom is connected to the output main line. Thus, it becomes possible to accurately detect minute voltage variations within a reference signal circuit and compensate for them.

Liquid crystal display

An object of the present invention is to provide an active matrix type liquid crystal display apparatus, capable of being upsized and having enhanced resolution at low cost without being degraded in display quality. In the liquid crystal display apparatus, on a pixel substrate, scanning lines and reference signal lines are formed in a row direction, and on a counter substrate, gradation signal lines are formed in a column direction. A liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the pixel substrate and the counter substrate. Outside an image display region, a reference signal transfer pad is disposed on the counter substrate opposite to a main reference signal line for connecting end portions of reference signal lines. The reference signal transfer pad and the main reference signal line are electrically connected by conductive material.
