liquid crystal display element, a manufacturing method(s) thereof, and electronic devices (utilizing this element) which can improve, through a simple process, the
visual angle characteristics, and the like, of
liquid crystal panels is provided. A first control
capacitor electrode (20) is included, provided below first and second sub-pixel electrodes (10, 12) and a protective insulating film (60). Also, control capacitors C1 and C2 are formed by the first and second sub-pixel electrodes (10, 12), and the first control
capacitor electrode (20), through the protective insulating film (60). The
visual angle characteristics of the
liquid crystal panels are improved by the provision of the control capacitors C1 and C2. An increase in processes can be prevented, because the first control
capacitor electrode (20) can be formed by a material identical to that of the source electrode. Moreover, the surface area of the control capacitor electrode can be miniaturized, and the aperture rate, and the like, can be improved, as a result of being able to make the protective insulating film (60) even thinner than the gate insulating film (49).
