Abstract
Provided is an active matrix substratein which either a plurality of source lines (data lines)S or a plurality of gate linesG, as constituent elements of the active matrix substrate, are vertical lines extending in the longitudinal direction, and the other are horizontal lines. Among a plurality of pixel control elementsT that are provided in correspondence to a plurality of pixels and are connected with the data lineS and the gate linesG so as to control display of the corresponding pixels, respectively, a part of the pixel control elementsT connected with one same horizontal line are arranged on one side with respect to the respective vertical lines to which the pixel control elements are connected, the side being different from a side on which the other pixel control elements connected with the same horizontal line are arranged. Among a plurality of switching elementsas constituent elements of a gate driver (driving circuit), at least a part of the switching elementsare respectively arranged in areas between adjacent ones of the vertical lines, in each of which areas a distance between adjacent ones of the pixel control elementsT is wider than a distance between other adjacent ones of the pixel control elementsT.
