Abstract @ In an active matrix type display apparatus which in- dudes a first electrode substrate (15) having a transparent insulation substrate (16) on which a thin film transistor (11) a transparent display pixel electrode (12) selectively driven by the thin film transistor (11) and a connecting portion (10) for connecting the thin film transistor (11) with the transparent display pixel electrode (12) are formed, a second electrode substrate (17) having another transparent insulation substrate (18) on which an opposing electrode (13) formed of a transparent conductive film is formed, and a display medium (14) sandwiched between the first and second electrode substrates (15, 17), an electrically conductive light shielding layer (28) which is fixed at a predetermined potential is provided on each of thin film transistor portions of the first electrode substrate (15), and a part of the light shielding layer (28) opposes a part of the transparent display pixel electrode (12) through an insulation film (29) so as to form a supplemental storage capacitor.
An active matrix type display apparatus comprising a first electrode substrate (15) having a transparent insulation substrate (16) on which a thin film transistor (11), a transparent display pixel electrode (12) selectively addressed by said thin film transistor array (11) and a connecting portion (10) for connecting said thin film transistor (11) with said transparent display pixel electrode (12) are formed; a second electrode substrate (17) having another transparent insulation substrate (18) on which an opposing electrode (13) formed of a transparent conductive film is formed; and a display medium (14) sandwiched between said first and second electrode substrates (15, 17); characterized in that an electrically conductive light shielding layer (28) which is fixed at a predetermined potential is provided on each of thin film transistor portions of said first electrode substrate (15), and a part of said light shielding layer (28) opposes a part of said transparent display pixel electrode (12) through an insulation film (29) so as to form a supplemental storage capacitor.
