Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel that, when subjected to laser repair for repairing defects, can avoid degradation of members other than the target of the laser repair. A liquid crystal display panel of the present invention includes: an active matrix substrate; a counter substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the active matrix substrate and the counter substrate, the active matrix substrate including: a support substrate; a transparent electrode; a scan signal line; a data signal line; a thin film transistor connected to the scan signal line and the data signal line; a lead-out line extending from the thin film transistor; an insulating film covering the thin film transistor; and a pixel electrode connected to the lead-out line via a contact site formed through the insulating film, the transparent electrode being located at a level closer to the support substrate than the lead-out line and the pixel electrode are, the pixel electrode including a substantially rectangular outline when viewed in a plan view of the support substrate, the transparent electrode having a shape with a missing area that overlaps at least one corner portion of the pixel electrode, the lead-out line extending straight to overlap the corner portion of the pixel electrode, and overlapping the missing area of the transparent electrode.
