A transverse field type liquid crystal display panel has multiple scan lines 12 and common wires 13 provided in parallel, multiple signal lines 17 provided in the direction crossing the scan lines 12, and common electrodes 14 and pixel electrodes 21 formed in the regions delimited by the multiple scan lines 12 and signal lines 17. At least part of the surface of an insulator laid over the scan lines 17 is covered by shield electrodes 22 constituted of a conductive material. Thanks to such structure, there can be provided a transverse field type—that is, an IPS mode or FFS mode—liquid crystal display panel that is equipped with a device for preventing burn-in due to the voltage that is applied to the scan lines.
