Abstract
Each pixel electrode is connected to a signal line and a scanning line through a TFT while at least part thereof overlaps the signal lines. A plurality of shield electrodes having electrostatic shielding characteristic extend from an auxiliary capacitance line, which extends perpendicular to the signal lines, each along the signal line. Each shield electrode has a first electrode portion arranged to overlap only a side edge portion of one of two adjacent pixel electrodes and a side edge portion on a side of one pixel electrode of the signal line side edge portions, and a second electrode portion arranged to overlap only a side edge portion on the other pixel electrode. An overlapping width between the shield electrode and pixel electrode is larger than the overlapping width between the signal line and pixel electrode.
