Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a transparent insulator substrate; switching elements which are formed on the transparent insulator substrate; a passivation layer for passivating the switching elements; color filters of prescribed colors which are formed on the passivation layer so that no color filter will be formed in areas around contact holes; black matrixes as shields for preventing light leakage which are formed on the passivation layer after the formation of the color filters so as to cover at least the switching elements and so that no black matrix will be formed in areas around the contact holes; an overcoat layer which is formed on the color filters and the black matrixes; pixel electrodes which are formed on the overcoat layer; lead electrodes of the switching elements for being connected to corresponding pixel electrodes; and contact holes which are formed through the overcoat layer and the passivation layer for establishing connection between the pixel electrodes and lead electrodes of the switching elements.
