Liquid crystal display device

摘要

At least either a first substrate or a second substrate has regions corresponding to subpixels (15a, 15b, 15c) and provided with ribs (100a) 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 (100a) and the scanning signal lines (32) are at least partially overlapped with each other as seen in plan view.

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 scanning signal lines and the video signal lines; picture element electrodes electrically connected respectively to the switching elements and provided in such a way as to correspond respectively to the picture elements; and storage capacitor lines and storage capacitor counter electrodes, the second substrate being provided with a common electrode, the second substrate having regions corresponding to the picture elements and provided with alignment control parts for controlling how the liquid crystal material is aligned, a surface of each alignment control part being covered by an alignment film, the alignment control parts being provided between the common electrode and the alignment film, the scanning signal lines being overlapped with the picture element electrodes via an insulating material in plan view, the alignment control parts and the scanning signal lines overlapped with the picture element electrodes being at least partially overlapped with each other in plan view, wherein, in plan view, a scanning signal line is not provided between a picture element electrode and an adjacent picture element electrode adjacent to the picture element electrode in a first direction in which the scanning signal lines are aligned, but provided within the picture element electrode, wherein, the liquid crystal display device is a vertically aligned mode, wherein, in plan view, one of the storage capacitor lines has a main portion provided in a region between the picture element electrode and the adjacent picture element electrode in the first direction, and wherein, only one scanning signal line overlaps the picture element electrode, and the same scanning signal line that overlaps the picture element electrode also drives the picture element electrode.
