Abstract
A liquid crystal display apparatus has an improved repair success rate. In the liquid crystal display apparatus, a pixel electrode is electrically connected to a drain electrode of a thin-film transistor. The drain electrode has a substantial correction site which is narrowed in width. An opening is formed in a certain region of said pixel electrode, overlying the substantial correction site of the drain electrode, the opening being in contact with the outer periphery of the pixel electrode.
