Claim 0:
1. A display device comprising:
a display panel including
a display section in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a matrix, the display section including an effective pixel portion and a frame portion that surrounds the effective pixel portion,
a plurality of scan lines that select pixels,
a plurality of signal lines that supply image signals to the pixels,
a substrate,
color filters that are arranged above the substrate so as to correspond to color displays of the pixels,
a light-shielding layer covering the scan lines and the signal lines in the effective pixel portion and the frame portion, and
a polarizer overlapping the color filters and the light-shielding layer through the substrate; and

a cover plate mounted on the display panel, the cover plate having
a first cover portion overlapping the frame portion and
a second cover portion other than the first cover portion, a light transmittance of the first cover portion being lower than a light transmittance of the second cover portion,

wherein
the light-shielding layer has
a separation location in the frame portion, and
a light-shielding material,

the separation location is a region in which the light-shielding material does not exist, and is located between a first part of the light-shielding material and a second part of the light-shielding material in the light-shielding layer,
the color filters are located at an opposite side of the light-shielding layer from the substrate,
some of the color filters overlap the separation location and are not located in the separation location, and
the first cover portion of the cover plate overlaps the separation location of the light-shielding layer, such that the first cover portion, the substrate, and the separation location are stacked in this order.
