    摘要: A liquid crystal display device is formed by arranging a plurality of scanning lines 3.sub.1, 3.sub.2, . . . to which scanning signals are successively applied and a plurality of signal lines 4.sub.1, 4.sub.2, . . . to which data signals are successively applied to intersect at right angles. Mounted in the vicinity of each of the intersections of the scanning lines 3.sub.1, 3.sub.2, . . . and signal lines 4.sub.1, 4.sub.2, . . . are a TFT 5 electrically connected to both of the lines, and a pixel electrode 6 connected to the TFT 5. A common electrode is placed to face the pixel electrode 6 with liquid crystals 2 therebetween. One of electrodes of a pixel capacitance formed by the pixel electrode 6 is connected to a common line 9 for supplying a common signal to the common electrode 7. A dummy scanning line 3.sub.0 for forming a capacitance is arranged outside of the scanning line 3.sub.1 located at the outermost position on a scanning start side of scanning signal. In this structure, since an equal parasitic capacitance is generated in the pixels irrespectively of their positions, it is possible to eliminate defects, such as deterioration of display quality due to an appearance of a bright line in particular pixels.

    摘要: Auxiliary lines are formed under pixel electrodes so as to be parallel to signal lines. The auxiliary lines are connected to the signal lines at one point for each pixel. This permits a voltage to be kept applying to a signal line even if a disconnection defect occurs in the signal line by making a circuit around a disconnected portion by the auxiliary line. Moreover, if a leakage defect occurs at a crossing point between the scanning line and the signal line, the signal line would be cut off on both sides of the scanning line. This also permits a voltage to be kept applying to the signal line by the auxiliary line. By setting the auxiliary lines narrower than the signal line, a reduction in aperture ratio can be suppressed, and by adopting the auxiliary lines made of a transparent electrically conductive material such as ITO, etc., it is possible to prevent the reduction in aperture ratio due to the auxiliary lines. The described arrangement permits a generation of a line-shaped defect due to disconnection to be prevented while improving an aperture ratio of the pixel with ease.
