Abstract
A pair of storage capacitor electrodes are extended along a data line to provide storage capacitance along the data line. One of the storage capacitor electrodes is a metal electrode which partially overlaps the data line. Light can thereby be shielded in a region between the data line and a pixel electrode while forming a storage capacitor. The other storage capacitor electrode is positioned so as to avoid overlapping the data line, thereby suppressing coupling between the data line and the other storage capacitor electrode.
