Abstract
A liquid crystal display device has gate signal lines extending in the x-direction and arranged in the y-direction, and drain signal lines extending in the y-direction and arranged in the x-direction on the surface of the liquid crystal side of the one transparent substrate between a pair of transparent substrates opposed to each other via liquid crystals. A thin-film transistor is fumed on by a scanning signal from a gate signal line, and a pixel electrode will be supplied with a video signal from the drain signal line via the thin-film transistor that is fumed on in each of the regions surrounded by the signal lines. The thin-film transistor is of the MIS type, and the capacity between the gate electrode and the source electrode thereof is small on the input terminal side of the gate signal line and increases in a direction toward the end of the gate signal line, thereby to suppress the occurrence of flickering.
