LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE, ACTIVE MATRIX SUBSTRATE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G02F1/1362 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: liquid crystal display device includes an active matrix substrate; a counter substrate; and a liquid crystal layer including a light-diffusing liquid crystal which has, when no voltage is applied thereto, a first display state in which the liquid crystal molecules are aligned irregularly, and when a voltage is applied, a second display state in which the liquid crystal molecules are aligned regularly. The active matrix substrate has a first surface which is below a surface on which pixel electrodes are provided, the first surface having a first region on which a gap between adjacent pixel electrodes is projected, the first region having partial regions which orthogonally cross gate bus lines, source bus lines being each provided in a second region at a location shifted from a corresponding one of the partial regions so that the source bus line is covered by the adjacent pixel electrodes.

EFFECT: reduced thickness of the device, reduced power consumption, improved viewing angle.
