Disclosed are a display substrate (10) and a display device. The display substrate (10) includes at least one irregularly-shaped pixel (103), and a shape of a boundary line of a side, proximal to a peripheral region (101b), of each irregularly-shaped pixel (103) matches with a shape of a boundary line (101a1) of an irregularly-shaped display region (101a) in a base substrate (101), such that the irregularly-shaped pixel (103) does not go beyond the irregularly-shaped display region (101a) of the display substrate (10), a narrow bezel of the display substrate (10) can be realized conveniently, and an image displayed at the boundary line (101a1) of the irregularly-shaped display region (101a) may be prevented from being in a zigzag shape, thereby ensuring a display effect of the display device. Moreover, because an area of an orthographic projection of the irregularly-shaped pixel (103) on the base substrate (101) is smaller than an area of an orthographic projection of a rectangular pixel (102) on the base substrate (101), an area of an opening (a) formed by a black matrix layer (104) in a region where each rectangular pixel (102) is disposed is larger than an area of an opening (b) formed by the black matrix layer (104) in a region where any irregularly-shaped pixel (103) is disposed, such that a smooth transition of luminance of light emitted by the irregularly-shaped pixel (103) and the rectangular pixel (102) can be ensured, and the luminance uniformity of the display device is better.

It is an object of the present invention to apply a sufficient electrical field to a liquid crystal material in a horizontal electrical field liquid crystal display device typified by an FFS type.

To provide a semiconductor device, a liquid crystal display device, and an electronic device which have a wide viewing angle and in which the number of manufacturing steps, the number of masks, and manufacturing cost are reduced compared with a conventional one. The liquid crystal display device includes a first electrode formed over an entire surface of one side of a substrate; a first insulating film formed over the first electrode; a thin film transistor formed over the first insulating film; a second insulating film formed over the thin film transistor; a second electrode formed over the second insulating film and having a plurality of openings; and a liquid crystal over the second electrode.

A display may have an array of pixels such as liquid crystal display pixels. The display may include short pixel rows that span only partially across the display and full-width pixel rows that span the width of the display. The gate lines coupled to the short pixel rows may extend into the inactive area of the display. Supplemental gate line loading structures may be located in the inactive area of the display to increase loading on the gate lines that are coupled to short pixel rows. The supplemental gate line loading structures may include data lines and doped polysilicon that overlap the gate lines in the inactive area. In displays that combine display and touch functionality into a thin-film transistor layer, supplemental loading structures may be used in the inactive area to increase loading on common voltage lines that are coupled to short rows of common voltage pads.
