Abstract
A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first substrate on which pixels are disposed in a matrix shape, each of the pixels including a plurality of signal wirings and a plurality of scanning wirings which intersect each other, a switching element provided in a region adjacent to a portion in which the signal wiring and the scanning wiring intersect or on the scanning wiring, a pixel electrode connected to the switching element, and a counter electrode to which a common potential is supplied from a common potential wiring; a second substrate provided to face the first substrate; and a liquid crystal provided between the first and second substrates, wherein a first electric field shield electrode, which is set to the common potential, is provided between the signal wiring and the first substrate, and the first electric field shield electrode is electrically connected with a first wiring which supplies the common potential to the first electric field shield electrode, within a display region, and an electric field substantially parallel to the first substrate is applied between the pixel electrode and the counter electrode.
