Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes first and second gate signal line formed on a first insulating substrate and arranged adjacent to one another, a terminal electrically connected to the first gate signal line, first and second thin-film transistors, a first pixel electrode electrically connected to an electrode of the first thin-film transistor, a second pixel electrode electrically connected to an electrode of the second thin-film transistor, a first and second video signal lines, a second insulating substrate which is transparent and superposed on the first insulating substrate, a transparent common electrode, and liquid crystals provided between the common electrode and the first and second pixel electrodes. A first light-shielding film is formed on the second insulating substrate and covers peripheries of the first and second pixel electrodes, and second light-shielding films are formed on the first insulating substrate.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device having a first gate signal line, a capacity line, a terminal, first and second thin-film transistors, a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a first video signal line, and a second video signal line. A channel length and a channel width of the second thin-film transistor are substantially equal to a channel length and the channel width of the first thin-film transistor. The first and second pixel electrodes are partly superposed on the capacity line via an insulating film, and an area where the second pixel electrode is superposed on the capacity line is selected to be smaller than an area where the first pixel electrode is superposed on the capacity line.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has gate signal lines extending in the x-direction and arranged in the y-direction, and drain signal lines extending in the y-direction and arranged in the x-direction on the surface of the liquid crystal side of the one transparent substrate between a pair of transparent substrates opposed to each other via liquid crystals. A thin-film transistor is fumed on by a scanning signal from a gate signal line, and a pixel electrode will be supplied with a video signal from the drain signal line via the thin-film transistor that is fumed on in each of the regions surrounded by the signal lines. The thin-film transistor is of the MIS type, and the capacity between the gate electrode and the source electrode thereof is small on the input terminal side of the gate signal line and increases in a direction toward the end of the gate signal line, thereby to suppress the occurrence of flickering.
