Abstract

A liquid crystal display including a polarizing plate having a linear polarization axis slanted in relation to a scan line, a transparent pixel electrode, an active element which drives the transparent pixel electrode, and a wire for connecting the active element and the transparent pixel electrode. The wire has an end part so shaped as to be slanted in a direction parallel to or perpendicular to the linear polarization axis.

Claims (11)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a pair of substrates;

a liquid crystal held between said substrates; and

a polarizing plate disposed on at least one of said substrates, wherein,

one of said substrates has a scan line, a signal line, a transparent pixel electrode disposed at an intersection of said scan line and said signal line, an active element which drives said transparent pixel electrode, and a wire for connecting said active element and said transparent pixel electrode,

said polarizing plate has a linear polarization axis slanted in relation to said scan line,

said active element has a drain electrode connected to said transparent pixel electrode,

said wire and said drain electrode are respectively disposed at different layers, and

said wire has an end part so shaped as to be slanted in a direction parallel to or perpendicular to said linear polarization axis.

2. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said wire overlaps at least a portion of said drain electrode.

3. The liquid crystal display according to claim 1 , wherein said wire comprises an intermediate electrode disposed between said drain electrode and said transparent pixel electrode, and said intermediate electrode has the end part so shaped as to be slanted in a direction parallel to or perpendicular to said linear polarization axis.
