A liquid crystal display apparatus includes an auxiliary electrode between adjacent first and second scan signal lines, first and second thin film transistors with gate electrodes connected to the first and second scan signal lines, respectively, first and second pixel electrodes connected to one of a source electrode and a drain electrode of the first and second thin film transistors, respectively, a data signal line that is connected to the other of the source electrode and the drain electrode of the first and second thin film transistors, and a common electrode facing the pixel electrodes via a liquid crystal layer. The first and second pixel electrodes are adjacent along the data signal line. A potential difference between the auxiliary and common electrodes is greater than a potential difference between the first pixel electrode and the common electrode and a potential difference between the second pixel electrode and the common electrode.
