Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:a first substrate divided into a pixel portion and a peripheral circuit portion; a plurality of pixel electrodes within the pixel portion; a metal interconnecting layer providing metal interconnects in a first pattern over the pixel electrodes at least in the pixel portion, the metal interconnecting layer held to a second potential; an insulating layer over the metal interconnecting layer; a metallic light shielding layer having a second pattern at least within the pixel portion which is inverse to the first pattern, the metallic light shielding layer being held to a first potential at least within the pixel portion; a second substrate opposite the first substrate with a predetermined space therebetween; and a liquid crystal layer in the predetermined space, wherein the metallic light shielding layer within the peripheral circuit portion is left to float relative to the first and second potentials.
