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 including a first switching element and a second switching element, and located in the plurality of pixels;

signal lines electrically connected to the switching elements;

pixel electrodes including 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 parallel to one of the signal lines,

the common electrode including 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 being in direct contact with the common electrode, being connected to the common electrode and being located so that the metal wiring does not overlap the opening,

a portion of the common electrode being between the metal wiring and the signal line.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal wiring includes a portion that does not overlap the slit.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

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

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the common electrode is located 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.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

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

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

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the slit and the opening are continuous with each other.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

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

8. 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.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein

the common electrode includes another opening,

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

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

10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein

the metal wiring does not overlap the another opening.
