Abstract
A display panel includes: a substrate constituted by an active matrix substrate; a substrate opposite the substrate; and a light modulation layer interposed between the substrates. The change in the magnitude or the frequency of the voltage applied between a pixel electrode and a common electrode rotates a shape-anisometric member in the light modulation layer, and the pixel electrode extends over a scan signal line over an insulating layer.
