Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A display device comprising:
an array substrate;
a counter substrate;
a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the counter substrate; and
a light source disposed so as to emit light into a side surface of the array substrate or a side surface of the counter substrate,
wherein the array substrate comprises:
signal lines arranged in a first direction with spaces interposed between the signal lines;
scan lines arranged in a second direction with spaces interposed between the scan lines;
a switching element coupled to a corresponding one of the scan lines and a corresponding one of the signal lines;
an organic insulating layer that covers at least the switching element; and
a metal layer provided on the upper side of the organic insulating layer so as to overlap the organic insulating layer; and

a light-blocking layer that is provided in the same layer as that of each of the scan lines, extends along each of the signal lines, and is provided in a position overlapping part of the signal line,
wherein a positional misalignment portion of each of the signal lines does not overlap a positional misalignment portion of the metal layer,
wherein a positional misalignment portion of the light-blocking layer does not overlap the positional misalignment portion of each of the signal lines, and
wherein the positional misalignment portion of one of the signal lines, the positional misalignment portion of the light-blocking layer, and the positional misalignment portion of the metal layer are aligned with spaces along the one of the signal lines.
