Abstract
A liquid crystal display apparatus having a plurality of pixel cells is disclosed, each of which comprising a scanning line and a signal line disposed on an insulation substrate in such a manner that the scanning line intersects with the signal line, a switching device disposed at the intersection of the scanning line and the signal line, a display pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching device, an opposite electrode disposed opposite to the display pixel electrode through a liquid crystal layer, and an auxiliary capacitor line disposed in a space between two adjacent display pixel electrodes in parallel with the scanning line and capacitively coupled with the display pixel electrode so as to form an auxiliary capacitor, wherein the scanning line overlaps with the display pixel electrode.
