Abstract
Abstract An active matrix substrate has pixel electrodes (2) arranged in a matrix form on an insulating substrate, scanning lines (3) disposed between the rows of the pixel electrodes arrayed in one direction, signal lines (4) disposed intersecting the scanning lines, first switching devices (5) each disposed adjacent to one side of each of the pixel electrodes, and second switching devices (6) each disposed adjacent to a different side thereof from the side adjacent to which the first switching devices each are disposed, only the first switching devices (5) out of the first and second switching devices being each electrically connected to the adjacent pixel electrode (2), thereby attaining pixel defect correction with ease.
