  • Patent number: 10032801
    Abstract: A load related to a scanning line is decreased and a load related to a common electrode is decreased without decrease in an aperture ratio of each pixel. A display apparatus has a red sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel. A distance in the Y-axis direction between a pedestal electrode and a scanning line that drives a transistor in a plan view in the red sub-pixel is longer than a distance in the Y-axis direction between a pedestal electrode and a scanning line that drives a transistor in a plan view in the green sub-pixel. Furthermore, a superposed width of a light shielding film with a red pixel region in the Y-axis direction is larger than a superposed width of the light shielding film with a green pixel region in the Y-axis direction.
