Abstract A liquid crystal display has a liquid crystal layer supported by a pair of substrates therebetween; a transparent common electrode formed inside at least one of the substrates; and a plurality of transparent picture element electrodes respectively formed inside the at least one of the substrates and connected to each other through at least one active device; the transparent common electrode being disposed below one of the transparent picture element electrodes through an insulator layer; and the transparent common electrode being electrically connected to the transparent picture element electrodes adjacent to the one of the transparent picture element electrodes through the at least one active device. The transparent picture element electrodes are disposed such that the transparent picture element electrodes do not overlap the transparent common electrode.
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal layer supported by a pair of substrates therebetween; a plurality of transparent common electrodes disposed side by side on at least one of said substrates; a plurality of insulator layers respectively disposed on said transparent common electrodes; a plurality of transparent picture elements respectively disposed on said insulator layers; and a plurality of active devices each disposed between two of said transparent common electrodes adjacent to each other for electrically connecting one of said adjacent transparent common electrodes to said transparent picture element disposed on the other of said adjacent transparent common electrodes.
