Abstract
A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes on a surface facing the second substrate, a plurality of gate bus lines extending into a row direction, a plurality of drain bus lines extending into a column direction, and a plurality of pixels arranged in matrix. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a portion of one of the plurality of gate bus lines associated with the pixel, a portion of one of the plurality of drain bus lines associated with the pixel, a portion of a capacitance line associated with the pixel, a pixel transistor having a source and a drain which is connected with the associated drain bus line, a control electrode connected with the source and formed in at least a portion of a region of the pixel, and a the pixel electrode which is in an electrically floating state and which is formed to cover the control electrode and a portion of the capacitance line through at least one of a first insulating film and second insulating film.
