To apply a voltage with good reproducibility for orienting liquid crystal molecules axially symmetrically.

A transparent electrode 22 covering at least the entire display area for axial symmetrical action is formed on a glass substrate 21 and an active element 24, a buss line 25 or the like such as TFT or the like is formed thereon or thereunder via an insulating film 23. Source and gate electrodes for driving the active element are connected to each other by a short link 17 and electrode pads 14 and 16 of or more than 1mm square for applying voltages for an axially symmetric operation are formed. Further, the width of the short link 17 is set to 1mm or more.
