Abstract

According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display apparatus includes a display region including a plurality of display pixels arrayed in a matrix, an array substrate including a plurality of first electrodes which are arrayed in a matrix, second electrodes which are arranged on the same layer as a layer of the first electrodes and connect the first electrodes to each other, and third electrodes which are arrayed in a matrix on the first electrodes and the second electrodes, a countersubstrate which is arranged to face the array substrate, and a liquid crystal layer which is interposed between the array substrate and the countersubstrate.

Claims (35)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels;

switching elements having a first switching element and a second switching element, and arranged in the plurality of pixels;

signal lines electrically connected to the switching elements;

pixel electrodes having a first pixel electrode electrically connected to the first switching element in a first contact portion and a second pixel electrode electrically connected to the second switching element in a second contact portion;

a common electrode opposed to the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; and

a metal wiring overlapping one of the signal lines,

wherein

the common electrode includes a slit which extends in an extending direction of the signal line and overlaps one of the signal lines, and an opening where the first contact portion and the second contact portion are located,

the metal wiring is arranged on and in contact with the common electrode,

the metal wiring includes a portion that does not overlap the slit, and

in a sectional view, a portion of the common electrode is between the portion of the metal wiring and the signal line.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal wiring has a portion which does not overlap the opening.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the common electrode is arranged below the metal wiring, and

in the extending direction, a width of the metal wiring is less than a width of the common electrode at a position opposed to the metal wiring.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

one of the signal lines is between the first contact portion and the second contact portion in the opening, and

one of the signal lines overlaps the slit and the opening.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the slit and the opening are continuous with each other.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the slit is between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switching elements include a third switching element,

the pixel electrodes include a third pixel electrode electrically connected to the third switching element in a third contact portion,

the third contact portion is adjacent to the second contact portion in a direction crossing the extending direction of the signal line, and

the common electrode is between the second contact portion and the third contact portion.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the common electrode includes another opening,

the third contact portion is located in the other opening, and

the other opening and the slit are not continuous with each other.

9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein

the metal wiring includes a portion which does not overlap the other opening.
