An active matrix substrate comprises a thin film transistor disposed at the crossing point of a scanning signal line with a data signal line on the substrate, with a gate electrode of the transistor being connected to the scanning signal line, a source electrode thereof being connected to the data signal line and a drain electrode thereof being connected to an interconnection electrode, and a storage capacitor upper electrode disposed so as to oppose a storage capacitor wiring pattern at least via an insulating layer and connected to the interconnection electrode and a pixel electrode. The storage capacitor upper electrode comprises at least three divided electrodes in the region opposing the storage capacitor wiring pattern.
