Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

At least either a first substrate or a second substrate has regions corresponding to subpixels ( 15 a , 15 b , 15 c ) and provided with ribs ( 100 a ) for controlling how a liquid crystal material is aligned. Scanning signal lines ( 32 ) and picture element electrodes ( 60 ) are overlapped with each other via an insulating material as seen in plan view. The ribs ( 100 a ) and the scanning signal lines ( 32 ) are at least partially overlapped with each other as seen in plan view.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal display device including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal material sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, with picture elements arranged in a matrix, the first substrate being provided with: a plurality of scanning signal lines; a plurality of video signal lines intersecting with the scanning signal lines; a plurality of switching elements electrically connected to the scann…
