Assignee: JAPAN DISPLAY INC.
Field: Optics (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. 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 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 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,

wherein a positional misalignment portion of the light-blocking layer does not overlap a positional misalignment portion of each of the signal lines, and
wherein the positional misalignment portion of one of the signal lines and the positional misalignment portion of the light-blocking layer are aligned with spaces along the one of the signal lines.
