A sub picture element electrode directly connected to a thin film transistor is disposed between a floating sub picture element electrode capacitively coupled to a control electrode and a gate bus line in order to prevent injection of electric charges from the gate bus line to the floating sub picture element electrode. Moreover, a shield pattern electrically connected to an auxiliary capacitance bus line is formed between the floating sub picture element electrode and a data bus line. This shield pattern avoids injection of electric charges from the data bus line to the floating sub picture element electrode.
