Abstract
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.
