Abstract
A liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate; a second substrate opposite the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and an active area including: a matrix of first regions; and a plurality of second regions distributed so as not to overlap the first regions, wherein each first region includes a switching element and is supplied with a grayscale signal via the switching element, and the plurality of second regions includes no switching element and is supplied with a common signal.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate opposite the first substrate;
- a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- and
- an active area including:
- a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions distributed so as not to overlap the plurality of first regions, wherein
- each first region includes a switching element and is supplied with a grayscale signal via the switching element,
- each of the plurality of second regions does not include the switching element and is supplied with a common signal,
- each first region further includes a pixel electrode connected to a corresponding switching element in the first region,
- each of the plurality of second regions includes a transparent electrode, and
- the liquid crystal display device further comprises:
- an opposite electrode opposite the pixel electrodes and the transparent electrodes;
- a plurality of data lines extending in a column direction, each data line connected to a respective switching element of each first region to supply the grayscale signal to the first region;
- a plurality of scan lines extending in a row direction, each scan line connected to a respective switching element of each first region;
- and
- a plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines supplied with a signal of a substantially same potential as a potential of the opposite electrode.
