Abstract

An active matrix type liquid crystal display device having an array substrate for allowing parasitic capacitances formed between a pixel electrode and scan and signal lines disposed in the vicinity thereof to be remarkably decreased. An active matrix type liquid crystal display device is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of signal lines intersected with the plurality of scan lines, the plurality of scan lines being insulated from the plurality of signal lines, a thin film transistor element having a gate portion and a drain portion and disposed at each intersection of the plurality of scan lines and the plurality of signal lines, the gate portion being connected to a scan line at the intersection, the drain portion being connected to a signal line at the intersection, an array substrate formed in the intersection and having a pixel electrode, the pixel electrode being electrically connected to the source portion of the thin film transistor element, an opposite substrate having an opposite electrode opposed to the array substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the array substrate and the opposite substrate, and a shield electrode disposed on…
