Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an array substrate comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix form, a plurality of gate lines extending along rows in which the plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, a plurality of source lines extending along columns in which the plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, a plurality of switching elements, and a plurality of light shielding layers, and each of the switching elements being disposed in proximity to a position where one of the gate lines and one of the source lines cross each other, and the light shielding layers being arranged at an underlayer of the switching elements; a counter substrate comprising a common electrode opposite to the pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer held between the array substrate and the counter substrate, wherein each of the light shielding layers extends to cross, among the source lines, even-numbered source lines arranged in a direction of extension of the gate lines, the light shielding layers are arranged in a direction of the extension of the gate lines at first intervals and arranged in a direction of extension of the source lines at second intervals, and among the light shielding layers, light shielding layers adjacent to each other in the direction of the extension of the source lines have end portions which are shifted from each other in the direction of the extension of the gate lines.
