Active liquid crystal color display device having branchless scan electrodes

摘要

A liquid crystal color display device has a substrate made of electrically non-conductive material, and a plurality of spot electrodes aligned in rows. The spot electrodes in each row are aligned with a predetermined pitch so as to provide a first predetermined space between two adajcent spot electrodes. The rows extend in a first direction parallel to each other with a second predetermined space between two adjacent rows. The spot electrodes in one row and the spot electrodes in the next row are off set by half pitch. A plurality of scan electrodes are each extending in the second predetermined space. Also, a plurality of signal electrodes are provided each defined by a first portion extending in the first predetermined space and a second portion extending in the second predetermined space with the first and second portions occurring alternately. Furthermore, a plurality of thin film transistors are provided each defined in association with the second portion.
