Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer provided between said first and second substrates; a plurality of pixel regions provided on the surface opposing said second substrate of said first substrate, each of said pixel regions comprising at least one pixel electrode and a common electrode cooperatively applying an electric field in a direction along the surface of said first substrate; and a conductive light shielding matrix provided on the surface opposing said first substrate of said second substrate, the entire light shielding matrix having the same conductivity, said light shielding matrix having openings, each corresponding to a display region of each of said pixel regions, and shading non-display regions other than said pixel regions; wherein a conductive film at substantially the same voltage as said common electrode is formed at least above said light shielding matrix with an insulating film interposed therebetween.
