Abstract: A liquid crystal panel is a normally-black mode segment liquid crystal panel, and includes a plurality of pixels that are arrayed in substantial tessellation of an active region, as viewed from a direction of the normal of a first substrate, and a plurality of auxiliary electrodes that each have a portion that overlaps a gap between two pixels that are adjacent to each other, as viewed from the direction of the normal of the first substrate. A plurality of pixel electrodes, a common electrode, the plurality of auxiliary electrodes, and portions of a plurality of signal lines that are present in the active region are made of a transparent electroconductive material. The auxiliary electrodes are electrically connected to one of two pixel electrodes of the two pixels.
