Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes first and second transparent substrates spaced from one another and having facing surfaces with a liquid crystal material between the facing surfaces. A transparent electrode overlays the facing surface of one substrate. The facing surface of the other substrate supports: (a) a matrix of pixel electrodes (b) a plurality of data lines extending in a first direction, (c) a plurality of select lines extending in a second direction and crossing the data lines at crossover points, (d) a plurality of solid state switching devices for electrically connecting the data lines to the pixel electrodes. The pixel electrodes lay in a first plane while the data lines and the select lines lay in at least one other plane spaced from the first plane. A conductive transparent shield extends between the first plane and the other plane.
